Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 13. After several months of delay the Uity Council has made some provision for the appeal of the suit brought by the Contra Costa Water Company against the city of Oakland over water rates, in which Judge Hart delivered his remarkable decision that has resuited in the doubling of the water rates of the city. It is true that the arrangements for the appeal are not such as would be deemed the most liberal, but they are regarded as the best that can be secured from the solid seven in the present municipal legislature. The Council has passed to print an ordi- nance which creates the position of Dep- uty City Attorney, the duties of that offi- cial being to assist in the preparation of the appeal in the water case. The salary is fixed at $200 a month and appointment is to be made by City Attorney Johnson. The term of the deputy is to be during the pleasure of the City Attorney. This ordinance was the result of the at- titude of City Attorney Johnson. The City Attorney and the City Council have not been in that sweet accord and happy harmony that _ should characterize branches of the municipal government. City Attorney Johnson openly announced that if any one was to be retained to carry on the er suit litigation he wouid like to have Robert Y. Hayre, the man who conducted the suit in the Sup: rior Court. But the City Council missed Judge Hayne without benefit of clergy. and then began a contest as to who should assist Jonnson. The City Council was determined to die- tate who should be the attorney, but it split over the “who.” Some wanted W. W. Foote and others wanted Willlam R. Davis, and between the two City Attorney Johnson announced that he wanted the clection of his assistant if one was to be ellowed him. The original proposition was to set asidesbetween $6000 and for the appeal. The matter was settled, as far as the Council was concerned, last night. when it abandonzd all effort to name either W, W. Feote or William R. Davis, and it passed the whole matter up to City Attor- ney Johnson, leaving him to get out of it as best he can and take the responsibility of success or failure. The result was the ordinance that was passed last night, which gum everything up to City At- torney Johnson most effectually. It is understood that Geo;{e M. Shaw will be selected to assist Mr. Johnson, though the City Attorney declines to dis- cuss the matter until the ordinance be- comes 2 law. Ministers Discuss Orphans’ Needs.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, . 1118 Broadway, Aug. 13. J. B. McCoy, a real estate operator, is under arrest, accused of forgery hy Mrs. J. Scott, residing at 1201 Alice street, who claims she is only one of numerous vic- tims of the alleged forger. Mrs. Scott declares she has lost $40 through her acquaintance with McCoy, who induced her to honor a check for that amount which proved to be worthless. She also accuses McCoy of having de- frauded J. Cox, a Broadway photog- rapher; J. Champion, the owner of the residence where Mrs. Scott dwells, and also with having forged the name of the United States Land Agent at Bakersfield to a receipt for $22. Champion put up $50 on a check which subsequently proved to be valueless. Mrs. Scott is an elderly woman, with but little experience in this world’s af- fairs. She says McCoy induced her to go into a great scheme for making money. He was to take up Government land at Bakersfield and a fortune was to be won by reselling the grants at a great advance over the cost of procuring the land. The proposition seemed falr and Mrs. Scott was delighted when the first transaction came to a head a few days ago and a pur- chaser was found for a piece of the land. 8o plessed was the woman that she did not hesitate a moment to cash a check signed by “J. A. Thompson,” the ostensi- ole purchaser. But when {he Thompson check was sent to the bank and it had gone through the trade channels the al- Teged forgery was quickly uncovered. rs. Scott waited In vain for a settle- ment with her partner. The adjustment was not forthcoming. After waiting what she termed a reasonable length of time Mrs. Scott decided upon a prosecution. Yesterday she located McCoy at Sacra- mento, and the aggrieved woman has- tened there. She swore to a warrant charging McCoy with forgery. He was arrested, his bail being set at $1000. Death of Henry Maddern. OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—The death of Henry Maddern, a pioneer of this city, occurred last night at his residence, 1667 Broadway, where he had been seriously i1 for ten days from a complication of troubles.

FRE DESTRONS ) MINING TOwN But Few Buildings Are Left in Quartz Mountain. sl Flames Level the Place in Less Than a Half Hour. SRIZRIRE Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Aug. 13.—Quartz Moun- tain, a mining settlement of 1000 inhabi tants, about six miles from Sonora, Tu- olumne County, was almost entirely de- stroyed by fire this morning.

OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—John Reischman and V. Ivancovich, young men about 20 vears old, were arrested to-day by De- tectives Holland and Shorey for the theft of money and valuable jewelry belonging to Carl Schilling, a sen of A. Schilling, the San Francisco importer. The stealing | was done at the Piedmont baths, where | { young Schilling had placed his clothing in a locker before going to the swimming tank. The key to the locker was hidden | in Schilling’s shoes, which he wore to the | tank, leaving them in his disrobing room. The thieves stole the Key and pretenting it at the cashier's desk were given Schill- ing's_property. The stolen articles con- | sisted of a diamond ring. a diamond stud- | ded university pin, a gold watch and | | about $10 in coin. The police secured descriptions of the strangers and caught Reischman early during the day. He had the ring in his | pocket, with $3 50 in coin. Later Ivanco- vich was arrested.

OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—The sign license ordinance is at last to be tested in the courts. Walter Meese, a Washington- | street merchant, has been arrested for failing to pay his license, and the whole question will now be gone into. License Inspector T. J. Newell to-day made a demand upon Walter Meese for | his license. He was met with the state- ment that he would pay any license tax | upon signs that were beyond the line of the building. but that he would not pay for those inside. As the ordinance makes | a specific charge for signs attached to buildings, License Inspector Newell could not make the exception. He applied for a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Meese and the warrant was served this afternoon.. The arrest was purely a formal affair and it Is expected that all of those who have opposed the ordinance will support Mr. Meese and make a test of the matter, e COURTNEY’S POSITION IS DECLARED ILLEGAL Council Could Not Create the Place | by Resolution and Could Not Appoint. OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—City Attorney Johrson this afternoon decided that the appointment of Joseph Courtney, brother of the Councilman, as street sprinkling in- spector was illegal. The City Attorney finds that for several reasons the appointment is faulty. First, the Council created the position by reso- lution instead of by ordinance, which alone makes the position illegal. In the second place, the appointment was made by the Council, though the charter gives the Board of Public Works control of the streets of the city. Under this provision of the charter it would be necessary {o make the position so that it could be filled by the Board of Public Works. This decision throws the Councilman’s brother out of a position almost before he had been given a chance to fill it. — e Deserted Bride Wants Alimony. OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—Deserted three weeks after her marriage Mrs. Francis A, Sawyer began life alone a little over a vear ago.

Lovel having failed to eland, answer the cross-complaint in his dlvorce suit against his wife Emma, a default has been entered against him. College Editors.

D., will lecture at the University of California from Septem- ber 4 to 12 on education and social Although an American by birth and by education, Dr. Gregory has been a professor in the University 'of Leipzig for many years. His work there and in this country has brought him fame as a scholar. He is perhaps first in authority in the field of Biblical text criticism.

The following itemized statement of the entire property loss resulting from the storm in Galveston was compiled by the Galveston News with the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce, the rellef committee, the insurance companies and others, and is generally accepted as the most authentic estimate that has been prepared. The only exception that has peen taken to it at all is the claim of a few that it is a trifle conservative: Residence property and contents to- tally destroyed ..... oo...... $6,196,000 Damage to other residences and con- tents 2,250,000 Church property 500,000 Municipal property Wharves and shipping facilities.

Out of the thirty-nine in the city twenty-five were totally destroyed, while the remaining fourteen were dam- aged more or'less.—Daily States. ————————— 0dd Funeral Customs. A Chinese funeral never proceeds stralgnt from the house of mourning to the graveyard, says the Indianapolis Sun. The devil is always on the lookout for funerals and follows them to: seize the soul of the dead man, so, in order to out- wit the evil one, the bearers take up the body and start with it on a brisk trot, while the packs of firecrackers and pyro- technics, emitting a_dense smoke and vile smell, are set off just as the proces- sion starts. Haying thus deceived the evil one as to the direction taken by the bearers, they run as fast as they can with the body, then suddenly turn a corner and stop while more fireworks are burned. The devil cannot turn a corner easily, and so, if really in pursuit, he shoots on by, and by means of a good deal of tur and stopping and a lavish expenditure of fire- works, the funeral procession geneu.l‘? gets to the grave in safety, while the evil one, confused bg their movements and half suffocated by, the fireworks, is still editor, J.

This morning '05 stood out on the brown hills in fifty-foot letters of paper and lime, much to the ad- miration of the intrants. The sophomores, still remembering the experiences of their bumptious days of a year ago, have ig- nored the figures thus far, but pent up class patriotism has a limit of elasticity, and the numbers are not expected to re- main long on the hills. p: During the rush troubles of last year a committee of senior boys was placed in charge of affairs and acted as a court of arbitration and for the suppression of class spirit. President Wheeler urged the necessity of the one class ruling, but it took six montbs for the peace plans to achieve the desired results. Collegians are now speculating whether the new class will require a term's tussling and another volume of faculty edicts against conflicts with upper class men to calm the intrants, or whether they will slip quietly on under the rule of perpetual peace and do nothing. The juniors, at once the friends’and enemies of the fresh- men—the protectors in case of strife and the instigators to conflict in case of peace —are still musing over their freshly paint- ed plugs and the prominence In college life another year has brought them, and are not alive to the fact that the campus is covered with young hopefuls in need of experfence. When the freshmen are all assembled Monday for registration the juniors will undoubtedly remember. The placing of '05 on the hills Is a chal- lenge to the sophomores, and shows that the freshmen desire a more intimate ac- quaintance with members of the class above them. Customs of Carters Grove, Va. A correspondent tells this story about Carters Grove, an old manor house near Yorktown, Va.: “It is one of the customs of Carters Grove, as old as the mansion itself, to have a bowl of mint julep al- ways standing upon the sideboard, and people from Willlamsburg or Yorktown and the neighboring planters who passed that way never failed to stop for refresh- ment. Dr. Booth. the present owner, says of one of the former proprietors, who had the gout so badly that he could not walk and used to lie all day long on a couch in the corner of the dining-room and growl about the pain he suffered: ‘He had a Shetland pony, trained to lie down on the floor beside him. When he felt thirsty he climbed upon the pony's back, rode over to the punch bowl, drank freely of the beverage that always could be found there and then returned to his corner and rolled_upon his couch, while the patient pony would lie Gown beside him until his services were needed again.’ "—Record- Herald. ———— A Unique Distinction. ‘Washington retains in the 1900 census the distinction which is had in the 1590 census of having more colored inhabitants than any other city of the United States. The explanation of Washington's popu- larity as a place of residence for colored people is that it is the winter quarters of many thousand negroes who at the begin- ning of spring begin their exodus to Northern watering places and to Virginia and Maryland resorts. The cost of livin for colored people in Washington is nof high. The climate is equable, the national Government does not authorize restric- tons against colored people such as pre- vail in most Southern States as to_resi- dence and means of transportation. There is no discrimination against them in the Washington courts and the large transi- gnt population of the District of Colum. bia during the sessions of Congress and when the public departments are under full headway causes a large demand for colored employes.—Chicago Journal. —_— e OFFIGER BEFORE GRIMINAL COUAT Is Charged With Killing Prisoner Who Tried to Escape. kel Hard to Find Jurors Who Have Not Pronounced Views. T A Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 13. The trial of Policeman George N. Mac- Rae on the charge of killing Myron Brown in Alameda last September was begun before Judge Greene to-day. MacRae arrested Brown and two com- Panlons, Charles Kelly and Max Jacobs, late Sunday night, September 23, 1900. on Buena Vista avenue for fast driving. The officer overhauled the young men by boarding a passing street car after they had disregarde his command to stop. After he had stopped thelr rig he told Brown to get out, and handcuffed him. MacRae then had Brown get back into the buggy and was getting in himself to drive it to police headquarters when the horse was started, throwing him between the wheels. He ordered Brown, who held the reins, to stop, threatening to shoot if his command were not heeded. The horse kept on and the policeman fired three shots at his escaping prisoners. He then boarded another ¢ar and arrived at the Webster-street bridge before they did. He found that Brown was badly wounded by his fire. At the Receiving Hospital the surgeons gave it as their opinion that the injury was a mortal one, and the wounded man died two days later. MacRae was arrested and charged with manslaughter. Considerable difficulty was experienced in finding jurors who thought a policeman Jjustified in shooting a man attempting to escape after arrest for a misdemeanor simply. Attorney A. A. Moore, who with Emil Nusbaumer appeared for the de- fense, insisted that every juror accepted should admit the duty of an officer to hold every prisoner at whatever cost. MacRae since his arrest has been out on ball performing his customary duties cn the Alameda police force. —_— IN OAKLAND SOCIETY. OAKLAND, Aug. 13.—Rev. Paul M. Spencer entertained about thirty-five or forty boys this evening at his home on Clay street, all members of his Sunday school class. Mr. Spencer leaves to-mor- row evening for a prolonged absence in the East and took this means of saying farewell to his boys and of seeing them all together once more before his de- parture. Mr. Spencer’s class_has been noted as being the largest Sunday school class of boys in Oakland, and he is justly very proud of them, while they in turm are emphatic in their expressions of re- gret at losing so popular a teacher. Pink sweet peas and glagdioll adorned the rooms very prettily, ari toward the close of the evening refreshments were served. Music and recitations were con- tributed toward the evening’s amusement by the boys, among them being Lowell Redfield and Jack Frost, who sang, and Edgar Thompson, who gave a clever reci- tation. Dr. Dille was present and made an entertaining little speech. Mr. Spencer also spoke a few words of farewell. The ladies who assisted Mr. Spencer in entertaining his young guests were Mrs. John Fearn, Miss Ella Fearn, Mrs. M. E. Frost and Miss Fern Frost. Mr. Spencer leaves at 6 o’clock to-mor« row evening for Madison, N. J., whera for the next three years he will attend the Drew Theolggical Seminary.
