S e Sy e 0 = -+ { “ RECTOR OF ST. MARK'S PARISH, WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE OF THE | NEW BISHOP KIP MEMORIAL CHURCH, FOR WHICH GROUND WAS BROKEN IN BERKELEY YESTERDAY. B — ERKELEY, July 7.—In a simple service this afternoon, at the lot where their handsome new place of worship will soon be raised, members of St. Mark’'s parish formally broke ground for the Bishop Kip Memorial Church. The congregation as- sembled in the old church, and after sing- ing by the vested choir followed the ves- trymen and the rector, Rev. George E. Swan, to the large lot on the corner of Ellsworth street and Bancroft way. Here the ceremony of turning over.the first spadeful was carried out, F. L. Hobson, senior warden; A. M. Sutton, junior war- der, and Mrs. J. T. Baun, president of the Ladles’ Aid Society, participating. Rev. Dean Lyon of San Francisco, who was a warm personal friend of the late Bishop Kip, was to have made the dedi- catory address. He was prevented from being present, and in his absence Rev. f} ge E. Swan, the rector, spoke as fol- o “It is a strange feeling that comes over us when we are about to take a journev we have looked forward to—when we come to the land we have read about, and thought about, and talked about. and dreamed about. So here, at the threshold of a new and greater existence as a church, we have a_similar sensation. ““This new church project of ours began long ago. These lots were purchased for that purpose in February, 1889, when this church, since twice enlarged, stood a block below on Bancroft way. The pro- posal to have the new church a memorial to Bishop Kip came in April, 1893. Among the original incorporators was the late Professor Joseph Le Conte, who contrib- uted $100 to the undertaking. It is re- markable that notice of the church’s in- tention in this matter was given to Bishop Nichols only three days before Bishop Kip's death. In 18% the old church was removed to the present location and there renovated and enlarged. ‘“‘Meanwhile funds were being collected for this greater building. The first offer- ing came at Christmas, 1898. Since then the pledges have been slowly accumulat- ing, and to-day we have $6200. Our church property, with the exception of the par- sorage, has been mortgaged for $700. We are confident that the $15,000 necessary to finish the building will be raised by the time it is needed. “We have long ago outgrown our pres- ent church. There are to-day 425 com- municants, making us one of the largest country parishes in the diocese. But the seats in our little church can accommo- date only 300. The new building will have seats for 600, and will be equipped later S0 as to accommodate 1000 if needed. ‘“Yet our new church is not merely to be a larger building. That might have been attained by enlarging again the old building, as had been many times dis- cussed. But I desire to set free the pres- ent church building for use as a parish house, where all our parish societies and the Sunday school may have a place to meet in. “‘Not only this, but it is to be a worthler building. We wish it were a temple of glorious polished marbles, but, alas! the church is pdor. It would be folly to wait longer. We of this generation have our Woak to do and must have room in which to do it.” DHID DEMOCRATS FAIL T0 AGREE Ma.ny Party Leaders Op- pose All Reference to Silver. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 7.—Although the Democratic State Convention will not con- vene until next Wednesday morning, the leaders and some of the delegates are here to-day. The delegates will meet by Congressional districts on Tuesday, when the members of the committees will be selected. As no effort will be made to in- dorse McLean, Johnson or any one else for Senator, and as the nomination of Colonel James Kilbourne for Governor is assured, no general interest is being taken in the committee on credentials. Much interest is being taken, however, in the selection of members of the State Central Committee, of which the McLean men have had a majority. The interests cf Colonel Kilbourne and Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland, as well as of John R. McLean and of others, are involved in the new State crganiza- tion. Nearly all the leaders of what was known as “Gold Democrats” are delegates to this convention, and they are opposing the platform views of Mayor Johnson of Cleveland and Mayor Jenes of Toledo, as well as any reference whatever to the sil- ver question. The Hamilton County dele- gation, from McLean’s home at Cincin- nati, has selected C. W, Baker as chair- men and Judson Harmon and Harlan Cleveland as members of the committee on resolutions for their respective dis- tricts. Baker was a leader for Palmer and Buckner. Judge Harmon was Attor- ney General in Grover Cleveland's Cabi- net, and@ Harlan Cleveland was United States District Attorney under the same administration. There has been an active canvass for months for the gubernatorial nomination, with J. L. Zimmerman, J. C. Welty, Isaac S. Sherwood. A. W. Patrick and others in the field against Kilbourne. All have with- drawn except Zimmerman. It is believed that the Kilbourne men will select some one for Lieutenant Gov- ernor, and that there will be a free-for-all contest for other places on the State ticket. ——— Killed While Trying to Escape. LEADVILLE, July 7.—At 9 o'clock this morning A. L. Cassidy was almost in- stantly killed by Policeman J. J. McDon- nell. Cassidy was on the way to jail to answer a charge of breach of the peace, when he started to run. The policeman called to him tc halt, but he continued running and tce officer shot him down. Cassidy came here from Cripple Creek last fall and has a wife living at Coiorado Springs. LONDON MARKET 15 IMPROVING Prices Generally Better, but Dealings Con- tinue Small. LONDON, July 7.—Paradoxical as it may sound, all the conditions of the Lon- don Stock Exchange during the past week have improved, while actual busi- ness has been worse, if possible, than ever before. Money has been exceedingly plen- ty and prices generally better, but deal- ings, from various causes, have been at about the lowest ebb. An annoying fea- ture of the week's stagnation is the fact that large sums of money are actually yearning for investment, but the public, from the force of many weeks’ habit, re- fuses to do anything but “sit tight.” Consols were a shade better for the past week and nearly two points above their quotation during the recent slump, Home ralls, as predicted, improved slightly., Northern lines were from to 1% beiter, while southern lines remained stationary or Lad but fractional losses. American securities with few exceptions quietly continued their upward trend dur- ing the past week, although the actual dealings during this time were compara- tively small. Tt is interesting to note, howcver, .the change in the tone of Eng. lish financial writers toward,the Ameri- can market. These writers say the American boom created a rush of specu- lation, which has now become legitimate, The Investors' Review, which is noto. riously bearish in its tones, alone dissents from the favorable commentaries on the American market, declaring that under the surface a financial crisis is impending in the United States, and warns bankers of the enormous amount of American bills afloat here, and suggests the throwing out of a certain class of biils in_order to pre- cipitate a panic, which, the Investors' Re- view says, could be better met now than :ner more securities have been floated ere. BERLIN, July 7.—Although of the Treber-Trocknung cg:om‘g:ntl"::: expected after the Leipsic crash, the event caused the deepest depression on' all German boerses. This and other factors made last week the blackest since the re- action began in April of last year. De- clines were scored in every department. The market's weakest spot was indus- trials, the condition of which was panicky.

P. E. Daniels Will Lecture on California in the East. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 7. In spite of the customary quiet of Fourth of July week, the past few days have seen the consummation of several important deals in Oakland realty. Indi- cations point to still greater activity in the market next waek. J. H. McDonald & Co. report the sale of the Briges block, at the northeast cor- ner of Thirteenth and Clay streets, to August Michael for $50,000. The building is 50x70 feet on the ground and three sto- ries high. It was finished about a year ago. gPhe Dingee Company have. several large deals cn hand, some of which will be put through within the next week. George W. Austin & Co. report that the lots in the Austin Park tract are going rapidly. Six houses are already com- pleted in this new addition and contracts are let for six more. Among the princi- pal sales for the week by this firm are a house and lot on Linden street from F. A. Braun to C. E. West for $2500; a lot at Grove and Brockhurst streets from J. W. Simpscn to W. Cogan for $1500; a lot on Thirty-third street from D. Oliver to Miss Helen Stewart for $1200, and a house and lot on Thirty-seventh street from the California Bu“llln%'&nd Loan Association to William Stacy for $2500. The sale is reported of the Green block, on the northeast corner of Thirteenth street and Broadway far $70,000 to T. D. Carneal and L. C. Morehouse. The build- ing will be remodeled and the corner storeroom leased to the Union Bank of Savings. Margaret A. Farren has transferred to the Realty Syndicate 80 feet on Park ave- nue, near the California and Nevada Rail- way terminus, for $14,000. P. E. Daniels of this city is about to leave for a trip East, during which he proposes to do some excellent work for Oakland and_ the State at large. Mr. Daniels intends to give a series of lectures throughout the East upon the resources of California. Few men are better post- ed upon the State in general. He pro- poses to tell the people of the heat-strick- en East of the commercial as well as the rural advantages of California, of the in- dustrial development of the State, as well as the mineral. He has abundance of fig- ures and has adopted the very effective method of ccmparing the California con- ditions with those in the sections he pro- poses to visit. Being originally from the East, he can do this with great effect. These lectures will be given in all the great Eastern centers between Chicago and New York and will be given entirely at the expense of Mr. Daniels.

NEWPORT, R. L, July 7.—It was a day of satisfaction on board the new yachting champion the Constitution, of resignation on the Columbla and of contemplation, | but still hopefulness, on the Boston yacht Independence, so badly defeated in yes- terday's race. On shore, however, every one discussed | the race from all sides, but principally with reference to the unexpected showing of the Independence. It seemed to be the general opinion among those yachtsmen | who watched the race closely that the sluggishness of the Crowninshield boat was due to some extent to the uncertainty of the wind some little time after the start, and that the true worth of the yacht was not brought out. On board the Boston boat not a man was cast down, the overwhelming defeat being attributed solely to hard luck. Sald one of those who were on board during the race: ““We know that the Independence can sail and sail fast, for we havi en her do it, and we believe that yeste:fiu"!. fll-luck attended her from the very start. Captain Haft is _quoted similar views to Mr. Lawson, when the latter came aboard last night after the race, and to-night all hands on the Boston boat are looking forward eagerly and con- fidently to to-morrow's contest, when, over a triangular course, the Independ- ence is expected to show her great reach- ing qualities, providing, of course, there is any kind of breeze. It was also pointed out that under the America’s cup conditions yesterday's con- test would have been declared no race, the usual time limit of five hours and a half having been exceeded, but those on the Independence did not make any ex- cuses on that basis. One of the most Interesting comments on the race was made this afternoon by W. Butier Duncan of the Constitution, who summed up the contest by saying that it seemed practically to settle the situation and that the Independence could not here- after be considered a possibility as a cup defender. Mr. Duncan further remarked that one of the most gratifying incidents | of the race was the excellent work of the | Constitution’s crew in handling sails, and the manner in which all hands pulled to- gether. He was fully satisfied with the showing of the Constitution and the re- sult was a great relfef. Coming back to the Independence, he said that a yacht that could not show speed in light weather would be very un- I&ely to do better under heavier condi- tions of winds and sea. The yachts will have their second con- test of the Newport Yacht Racing Asso- clation's series to-morrow over a thirty-.| mile triangular course of ten miles on a side, it being provided, as usual, that one leg, probably. the first, shall be a beat to Whidward. Tt s thought that such a con- test will give the Independence her best chance of deteatln% the two Herreshoft vachts, as two of the legs must be made by broad reaches. The start, if possible, will be from Brén- ton’s Reef lightship, and it is likely that almost as large a fieet will accompany the racers as op Saturday. The main thing is excellence, whether it be in making a pan of biscuits or compos- ing a spring sonnet. as expressing | as the central design. The window is cir- cular, heavily leaded and has been set in the front wall of the edifice. The other improvements have been made with the view toward modernizing the structure. The results have been particularly grati- fying to the pastor and to the congrega- tion, which has made much sacrifice to secure the changes. Bishop Hamilton gave his congratula- tions to the church people and the pastor for their unseifish efforts to make more beautiful and attractiye the house of wor- ship in which they made their devotions fi:id labored to advance the cause of re- on. BLIND JOGKEY'S WONDERFUL RIDE John Metcalf’s Victory in a Race a Century and a Half Ago. That interesting writer, “Kettledrum,” in the Sporting Chronicie, tells*a marvel- ous story of a blind sportsman of the eighteenth century. His name was John Metcalf, and he was born at Knares- borough in 1718. He was blinded by small- | pox at the age of 4. In spite of his infirmity John Metcalf joined the other boys in robbing orchards and depleting henroosts. He learned to | ride and became an excellent violinist. He frequently hunted with the hounds. At the age of 14 his activity in sport and | the freedom he had enjoyed from aceident caused him to be quite fearless, and he | was getting througn life with greater fun than most ordinary lads. But he had a severe lesson, owing (o0 a fall into a gravel | pit when a farmer surprised him robbing | { a plum tree. But he was not seriously in- | jured, and we next find him showing ex- | pertness at swimming, and such strength | that he could push his companions below and swim over them. Such was his fame | in this direction that, two men being | drowned in the Nldd, Metcalf was en- gaged to seek for their bodies, and dlying, brought one of them from the river d2eps. He began to attend the races at York— so that the visits of the gentleman indi- cated above to the Knavesmire only serve to prove there is nothing mew under the sun—and other places. It was common for him to ride amoung the crowd, and helped by gentlemen to whom he was known, he often betted with success. It was thought a _ vald thing when he matched one of his horses to run three miles on the Forest Moor. With the idea that Metcalf would be un- able to keep the -ight course long odds were betted against him. But his inge- -ruity provided him with an expedient n the dilemma. The track was a round one of a mile, and at eacn turn he had a man stationed with a bell to ring out his ap- proach. This scheme and the superior speed of his mount pulled him through | and he was heartily cheered on victory. As a horse dealer he traded to advant- age, and at one-and-twenty he enjoyed robust health and stood six feet and an inch. He showed at this period some gufifllsflc ability and soundly thrashed a ully. Slow Promotion. How slowly promotion in the army often_comes Is strikingly illustrated by a list of army veterans sent to his paper by the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. He gives the names of the seyen officers still on the active list who entered the army prior to the civil war. They have been in the service ever since, and yet none has risen beyond the grade of colonal, and one only attained that rank prior to the outbreak of the Spanish war in 1898. Of the seven, six originally enlisted in the ranks during the decade precedi the eivil war, the other Colonel Francis L. Guenther, grad- uating from West Point in 1859. General Henry B. Freeman, late colonel of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, and General Theodore Schwan, late assistant adjutant general, both recently retired, also en- tered the army in the '50's as enlisted men.—Providegnce Journal.

BRANDES WORKS FOR A PAROLE Goes to Folsom That He May Try to Gain Freedom. —_—— Child Slayer Says He Can Win His Discharge From Prison. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 7. Although Willlam A. Brandes, the slayer of his own daughter, has until August 15 before the sentence imposed upon him by Judge Ogden shall be executed, the child killer has made up his mmd to go to Fol- som Penitentiary durlug this week. Ho will leave the County Jail, which has been his place of abode for nearly three years, either Monday or Tuesday. In spite of the two convictions whieh are recorded against Brandes he tries to exhibit a supreme confldence that a third trial will result in his acquittal. But pending that result, he has now deter- mined that he had better begin to serva his sentence. Brandes has started a campaign for re- lease on parole after he has served the requisite time for an application to be made to the Prison Directors for his dis charge. The law requires that any e vict may make such an application af one year of imprisonment, no matter wha the term of sentence is so long as it is not “life imprisonment.”" Brandes has conceived the idea that by going at once to the convict's c som he may start his plans to secure freedom. The prisoner has been maki his efforts in that direction for some days. As soon as he has settled upon the work he desires to pe done by some friends in this city Brandes will go to Folsom Penitentiary to begin his ten years as a convict. He has strong belief that he will be able to secure a parol:, a belief by no means shared by his jailors or “the prosecuting officers of Alameda County.
