HERE !s always romance in war. And Oakland claims its share of all romances. Lieutenant Arthur Fergueon, one of the heroes of Funston’s’ brigade, should at this time have been leading to the altar one of the noblest young ladies of Alameda County. Many months ago young Ferguson, not then a lieutenant, but a plain, manly volunteer, became engaged to Miss Annie Christenson of Alameda. At the call to arms, which was issued on the 27th of last October, Arthur Ferguson instantly obeved, and was a few’ days later on his way to Manila. The engagement was kept a secret ‘until such time as he should return with honors. The time is now due, but owing to unusual bravery young Ferguson has been promoted to be second lieuten- ant fn Colonel Funston's new regiment, and may remain in the Philippines for another year. Lieutenant Ferguson has obtained much distinction during the war. In the special Call-Herald dispatches from Manila last April Ferguson is mentioned as the corporal of Company E of the Kansas Volunteers. The dispatch says: The American and insurgent lines were separated only by the width of the river- 10 yards. There was a constant scattering fire. When night came yesterday Colonel Funeton made a daring attempt to surprise the insurgents. His plan was lead men across the bridge under cover of darkness nnd surprise and at- ¥oNnts. The bridge is long and much exposed. “olonel Funston sent uson of Company E of the Kansas Volunteers to reconaociter the ripped and crawled along the girders to within twenty feet of the oppoeite shore, ani an insurgent sentry approached within ten feet of him without discovering his presence. Ferguson reported that the plan was impracticable, because, the rails having been removed, walking would be dangerous and the wounded would fall into the river. In other respects than the loss of the rails the bridge was intact. Colonel Funston then decided to lead 120 men across the river a mile to the westward and enfilade the insurgents. For this act of bravery Corporal Ferguson was offered the lieutenancy in Colonel Funston's regiment, with a salary of $1400 per year. The matter was so placed before him by the colonel that he decided to accept, with the con- sent of Miss Christenson, who at once approved of her soldier-lover's ambi- tion. In his letters Ferguson, who has also been acting as correspondent for a Chicago newspaper, tells of many narrow escapes, one of which is tersely nar- rated as follows: “So far I have got through safely, and trust I will have the same good luck during the remainder of the campalgn. I got a scratch over the temple in one of the fights and had a hole shot through my canteen at Ca- lJumpit. An inch t6 the right in either case, and I should not have written this letter.” 5 BNSORSY among the most conspicuous. CAPTAIN GRAHAM IS ENTIRELY VINDICATED HE IS ADMITTED TO BE AN IDEAL SON-IN-LAW.

PARDEE AND SNOW FRIENDS | NAUGHTY NEWSPAPERS ARE THE GUILTY PARTIES. B — The Mayor Has Not Yet Completed His Investigation Into the Conduct of Mr. Miller and His Department. Loy o Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 14. The dove is now sitting on the handle of the hatchet at the City Hall, the dan- | gerous part of the weapon being almost buried. | The tremendous tempest that has | waged in a teapot for over a month has calmed down and Dr, Pardee and Mayor Snow are good friends. Strange to say, good friends and that the cause of all the trouble has been certain wicked newspa- per men, who seem to have taken a de- light in goading the doctor and the Mayor to fighting. In view of the beautiful peace that is now prophesied in the city government, it 18 useless to speculate on the turbulent past. Dr. Pardee says that he is positive the Mayor promised to vote for Mr. Miller and the Mayor does not say he did not make such a promise, but says that if | he did he has forgotten it. It is very natural that Mr. Snow In the heat of a very bitter campaign may have made re- marks which he has since forgotten, but such an incident will not be permitted to break the harmonious relations existing between the city government and those ardent Republicans who worked for the success of the ticket last March. Mayor Snow has never said that he will not vote for Mr. Miller and it is on record that two weeks ago at a meeting of the board he did say that when the be ready to act favorably upon it. There are many things in the Street Superin- tendent’s department which can be ad- usted for thelr betterment, and the Mayor, pursuing the policy he adopted when he first took office, is making a thorough investigation of the street de- partment_ before he decides upon any action. Naturally he wouid mnot be “4ammed” into voting for Mr. Miller un- til he is ready to do so, but there is no doubt that Mr. Snow knows as much of the conduct of the street department as | any man in the ecit ] i { HIS BROTHER'S SKIN. \ figurement by Grafting. OAKLAND, July 14.—But for a plece of human skin taken from his brother's arm and neatly transplanted upon his visage, Frank Borchert would have gone through life with ugly powder marks disfiguring his face. The skin-grafting operation was successfully performed by Dr. W. S. Porter, acting surgeon at the Receiving Hospital during Dr. the left arm of Harry Borchert, the hos- shot with a pistol at close range, some of the grains penetrating to the bone, and the only means of inating the disfig- uring marks tvas by cutting them away and transplanting _ thereon new and healthy skin. Once during the operation, while Frank Borchert was under the in- fluence of the anesthetic, the steward be- | came alarmed over his brother's pulse, fearing that heart failure was inevitable. However, the operation proved most sat- jsfactory, and but for a big plaster adorn- ing Frank Borchert's forehead and face, causing some inconvenience, and a slight headache suffered by the steward, both men are hearty and well. Wife Alleges Cruelty. OAKLAND, July l4.—Esther T. H. Cof- fin to-day filed suit for a divorce from John H. Coffin, alleging cruelty as the ground for her cause of action.

GRANT SUCCEEDS KING e ROAD FROM SAN PABLO TO EMERYVILLE. Aol Another Proof That the Southern Pacific Will Have Strong Opposition in the Bay Traffic. Sl Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, July 14. Another significant move has taken place proving the absolute accuracy of the story in yesterday's Call that the Santa Fe rallroad intended to absorb the Call- fornia and Nevada road and the Oakland system of street rallroads. Yesterday C. K. King, the recelver and manager of the little California railroad. | resigned and was succeeded by A. A. | Grant, a Contra Costa County capitalist and large holder of railroad bonds. Mr. Grant is & heavy railroad contractor and has done much railroad buliding for the Santa Fe. Mr. Grant has owned some of the California and Nevada bonds for a long time, and something Over a vear ago he made a trip East for the purpose of buying enough bonds to give him a con- trolling interest in the road. He suc- ceeded to such an extent as to secure his own appointment as the recelver. Mr. Grant has carried out some of the largest contracts for the Valley road, and as the Californla railroad is absolutely worthless except as an extension or ter- minus by which the Valley road can come into Oakland from Point Richmond, there is no doubt whatever that Mr, Grant has acquired the valuable franchise in the in- terests of the Santa Fe people, In a conversation Mr. King, the retiring receiver, said that the Santa Fe had not vet purchased the little California rail- road, but that in all probability it will soon become part of some system. For a long time the road has been in litigation, and it is now said that Mr. Grant will so adjust matters that he will become the absolute owner of the road for the purpose of transferring it to the Santa Fe, in whose interests he has been work- ing several years. | | Jeffries Makes a Speech. | OAKLAND, July 14.—James J. Jeffries | boxed four rounds at the Reliance Ciub | to-night_with his brother Jack. The | champion was given a most enthusiastic reception, and in response to ca'ls for a speech he assured the large audience that he would do everything possible to keep the championship in America, where it belongs. In a ten-round go Al Cohen broke his arm after three rounds with | Jack Mein. Henry Martin was given a | decision in a ten-round go with Joe Keating. Saved by Playmates. OAKLAND, July 14—Thomas Wilson, an eight-year-old boy who resides at 713 Franklin street, fell into the estuary this afternoon and was nearly drowned. He | was rescued by two small boys by the name of Kipton and Stewart, who were playing with him at the time of\the acci- dent. Kipton threw Wilson a rope and he hung on to it until a boat could be brought to his assistance. A Mysterious Shooting. OAKLAND, July 14—A mysterious shooting occurred this morning at about 3 o'clock in a house of questionable re- pute on Eighth street, between Broad- way and Washington streets. As yet the police have been unable to ascertain the cause of the shooting. Vague rumors are afloat about a jealous lover firing the shot. —_— ee———— In the Divorce Court.

Held by the Police for Examination by Captain Bowen and Chief Lees Before Being Booked. Patrick Fitzgibbons, who gives his oc- cupation as a clerk, attempted to stran- gle May Burke, a notorious woman, in a room at 424 Dupont street about midnight last night. The cries of the woman at- tracted the attention of Maggie O’'Brien, another inmate of the house, who blew a police whistle, summoning the police and driving Fitzgibbons from the house. The strangler was captured after a long chase at the corner of Pine and San- some streets. He has been placed upon the detinue book by Lieutenant Esola pcnd'nf an examination by Captain Bow- en and Chief Lees, who are acquainted with the details of the recent strangling cases in this city and who may possibly connect the perpetrator of last night's attempt at crime with the party respon- sible for the death of several unfortunate women.
