Phelan’s Influence Secures the Appointment of ! Favorites. — Frank L. Sheerin has been slated by the Board of Public Works for appointment to the position of outside field deputy, made vacant by the enforced resignation of Captain Charles E. Thomas. Sheer- in’s appointment will be made either to- day or to-morrow, and back of it lies a tale of how politics sometimes enters largely into the alleged merit system of | the present municipal administration, and | which shows that Mayor Phelan himself is not averse to taking a hand in game when the selection of his own p. litical favorites is at stake. The position is better known'as Chief of the Bureau of Streets, and pays a salary of $200 per month. When Captain Thomas failed in the re- cent civil service examination for outside field deputy there were only three con- | testants who succeeded in passing th test. These were J. H. Cowden, with .65 | per cent; Frank L. Sheerin, $4.5 per cent, | and Benjamin Heath Jr., 70.7 per cent. | After a_little persuasion by the Civil | Service Commission the Board of Works | filed a requisition for the certification of | eligibles and the three names mentioned | were submitted. Since then the appoint- | ment has been délayed, presumably ow- | ing to the absence of Commissioner Man- | son, who returned yesterday from his va- | cation. Cowden Makes Way for Sheerin. Daring the interim, however, the fine work necessary for Sheerin’s selection, made posgible by the civil service rule of certifying three names for one position, has been in operation. Cowden is at pres: ent a clerk employed in the Board of Works, having been selected from the | civil service eligible list of clerks. He is | in receipt of $100 per month, and has been given to understand that he must be sat- isfied to remain where he is in_order to clear the way for the selection of Sheerin, who is second on the list. In other words the fact that Cowden holds one civil service position 1s made a bar to his promotion to one higher, although that plan is the essence of the civil ser- vice system. This, too, notwithstanding that he is first on the list for fleld dep- uty and is a licensed civil engineer, which weli fits him for the position. | . But Sheerin is said to have both Phe- jlan and Fay behind him, and as he has | been of service to the organization in the | Fortieth Assembly District, he will be | rewarded. Colonel Mendell, president of | the Board of Works, and Mayor Phelan | have had several conferences lately. They | no doubt discussed questions concernini the municipaljty’s welfare, but it is be- | ligved that Sheerin’s appointment was taken up incidentall Juggling With Civil Service. As another instance of juggling with civil service the case of John J. Boyle, at present a deputy in the Tax Collector's | office, and the only employe not on the | civil service roll, & causing unfavorable | comment among the deputies who were forced out of their positions by civil ser- vice eligibles. Boyle faiied in the exam- | ination for experienced clerks in the t: office last December. When Scott ap- | pointed the civil service clerks last Janu- v he transferred Boyle to a deputyship. | Thirteen deputies were dismissed on Au- | gust 10 and_were replaced by civil service eligibles. The Civi] Service Commission is aware that Boyle is retained in viola- | tion of the civil service rules, but it took | no action: Scott has the appointment of | two mcre deputies, but is blocked by | arles Broad, who has sued to compel | m to select him (Broad) for one of the ! places. Broad will withdraw his sult cnly on condition fthat he be appointed, bhu Scott desires him out of the way so that he may appoint Edward J. Casey and Willlam T. Howe to the vacancies. Should | Broad be non-suited Boyle will have to re- tire to make way for Casey or Howe, Boyle's retention is due to Mayor Phe- lan’s friendship, though his Honor forced out the other thirteen Geputies not on the civil service list. Frank Smith, Isaac Citron and Fred Stahle, who are on the deputies’ eligible | list, were compelled to content themselves | with their original appointment from the | list of clerks, which examination they | also passed. Deputies are paid $12 per month and clerks $100, and the appoint- ment of the three men named to the lower positions made possible the selec- | | tion of deputies lower down on the eligi- | ble list. | | | | | CRASHES HEADLONG | THROUGH A CAR WINDOW | | Richard English Has Narrow Escape | From Death While Cycling Down Laguna Street. Richard English plunged headlong from his bicycle through a window of a Union- street car vesterday afternoon, and not only lives to tell the tale but bears but two cuts to remind him of his narrow escape from death. English_is the young sexton of St. | Brigid's Church and resides in the paro- | chial residence on Van Ness avenue. He | started out on his wheel in the afternoon, | intending to ride to the Presidio. He rode | @own Laguna street hill at a merry clip, {and as an Inbound car stopped on the crossing he turned to avoid it. A car was coming from an opposite direction, | and of course English did not see it in | | time to avoid an accident. The result was that he crashed into it | with such force that he was hurled head- | { long through one of the windows. Glass | | was scattered over several women pas- sorgers. who became greatly excited when they beheld the unconscious and bleeding English hanging limp and help- less on the window sill. The car was im- mediately brought to a stop and English carried into a drug store at Laguna and Union streets. Dr. N. S. Giberson, who was called, dressed a severe cut English had sustained on the upper lip and an- other on his knee. English was removed to the parochial residence after he had regained con- sclousness and had partlally recovered | | from the shock. | —_———————— COLLECTOR STRATTON WILL TRY DYE AND STIDGER Chief Dunn Wants Them Disbarred From Chinese Bureau for Alleged Unprofessional Conduct. Customs Collector Stratton received a letter yesterday from T. V. Powderly, United States Commissioner of Immigra- tion, instructing him to proceed with the investigation of the charges preferred by James R. Dunn, chief of the Chinese Bu- i rean, against Clarkson Dye and O. P. | Stidger, who have been doing business in the bureau as attorneys and brokers for Chinese immigrants in their efforts to se- ! cure a landing. Chief Dunn complained to the department that the attorneys named were guilty of unprofessional conduct in their rel#tions with the bureau, and asked that they be disbarred so far as that de- partment of the Federal Government is concerned. Stratton has not vet set a day for the hearing. The dccused men propose, in ad- dition to putting in a denial, to charge Chief Dunn with being rude ana discour- teous to the attorneys having business with the bureau, and to ask for his re- moval from office. et DOIRLR The Divorce Record.

PAUL’S Sacred Edifice Is Thronged With Several Hundred Friends Invited to Be Present at the Marriage of Miss Ethel Fletcher Gage, "One of Oakland’s Favorite Belles, to George Ernest _Gross AKLAND, Sept. 3.—A large and fashionable throng fllled St. Paul's Episcopal Church this evening to witness the marriage of Miss Ethel Fletcher Gage and George Ernest Gross. The wedding was one of the most brilliant events of the season. At least 500 guests were present, the young couple each having a host of friends. At 8:30 the triumphant strains of the bridal march from ‘Lohengrin” an- nounced the approach of the nuptial par- ty. The four ushers, George G. Gross, ‘Will M. Ward, Harry Mason and Dr. J. Loran Pease, led the way. They were followed by the bridesmaids. Miss Mabel Gage, the mald of honor, advanced alone, and behind her came the bride, leaning on the arm of her father, Stephen T. Gage. The bride’s ivory white gown was an ex- quisite creation of panne satin crepe, lined with white silk and elaborately trimmed with Brussels lace and orange blossoms. The lace yoke was outlined with a bertha of pearl passementerie. The sleeves were of lace, as were also the flounces outlining the edge of the skirt. 'he bride also wore a long tulle veil and carried a shower bouquet of Bermuda lilles and tulle. Pinned at her throat was | the groom’s gift—a diamond surrounded by pearls, in scroll effect. Miss Mabel Gage, the mald of honor, was attired in a gown of white point d’esprit made over pink taffeta, with transparent yoke and sleeves. Shirred ribbons formed a dainty trimming, and the shower bouquet was of bridesmaid roses and white tulle. The bridesmaids, Miss Carrie Nicholson and Miss Kate Chabot, were gowned alike in pink French crepe over pink silk. The gowns were trimmed with white lace, and the young ladies carried bridesmaid roses tled “with pink tulle. At the entrance to the sanctuary the bride was met by the groom and Dr. Rob- ert Richle, the officiating clergyman. There the ceremony of betrothal took place, after which the bride and groom advanced to the foot of the altar, where the solemn vows of marriage were pro- PROMINENT SOCIETY COUPLE WEDDED LAST EVENING IN OAKLAND. nounced. During the service selections from “Lohengrin” were softly rendered on the organ. The decoration of tHe church was ex- remely artistic, the altar being almost hidden beneath a bank of pink amaryllis, while above large palm branches were ar- -t altar rail was covered with amaryllis and ‘whortleberry follage, and the choir lofts were fllled with large palms and oak leaves.

There was no reception after the cere- mony. the young couple leaving almost immediately on their honeymoon trip. They expect to be absent two or three weeks. On their return they will reside at their own little home, the gift of the bride’s father, on Boulevard terrace. The first social function that Mr. and Mrs. Gross will give will be a dinner to the bridal party. The presents were handsome and nu- merous. The home on Boulevard terrace has been furnished from cellar to garret. The groom’s father sent a complete sil- ver set for the table. The Rellance Club, of which Mr. Gross was secretary, sent a beautiful roast and fish set. A number of Mr. Gross’ personal friends presented him with a cut glass punch bowl and set that was the handsomest that could be found ranged to give a domelike effect.

Bar- ney of West Bend, wife of Congressman S. S. Barney of the Fifth District, and Mrs. W. H. Ramsey Sr. of Port Washing- ton, wife of a former State Bank Con- troller, were killed by a Northwestern train this afternoon near the Port Wash- ington station. The women were driving across the track 2nd the train struck them. For over two hours the remains lay at the station at Port Washington, no one be- ing able to identify them. After many had viewed the remains W. H. Ramsey Jr. was asked to see if he could recog- nize the bodies. Ramsey picked up the covering upon the body of Mrs. Barney, but ihe remains were so terribly mangled that he could not make out the features. He then lifted the cover from the other body and fell back trembling, with blanched face. He had looked upon the face of his mother. Congressman Barney was trying a case in court at the time. He was overcome by the shock and the court adjourned. “SIR” H:&BBY COOPER MAY YET EVADE PUNISHMENT Recent Decision of the Supreme Court May Save Him From Retrial on Forgery Charge. Ernest Moore Chadwick, or Sir Harry Westwood Cooper, as he is sometimes known, will in all likelihood escape pun- ishment for forging the telegram that led pretty Norine Schneider to marry him. Chadwick was tried on June 13 before Judge Cook and the jury disagreed. Before Judge Lawlor last evening his attorney moved to dismiss the charge, claiming that such a proceeding was in order as he had not been retried within sixty days. The attorney referred to a recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Bergerot case, in which the cotrt sup- posted this contention. Judge Lawlor took the matter under ad- visement until Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The trial is set for September 16. While the first trial was in- progress Judge Cook ordered Chadwick into cus- tody until the Grand Jury could meet and indict him for perjury. His attorney Is now trying to have that indictment quashed, and with that end in view has asked to have the grand jurors examined in court. Last evening the assistant sec- retary of that body was examined and Chadwick’s attorney was satisfled al- though nothing of material interest was developed. Judge Lawlor took the motion to quash the indictment under advisement. ———————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED. Tuesday, September 3. Stmr Curacao, Parsons; 12 days from.Guay- mas.

TEXARKANA, Ark, Sept 4—No. 1 Cotton Belt passenger train, leaving Tex- arkana at 9:25 p. m. in charge of Conduc- tor Armstrong, was held up and robbed near Eylau, four miles south of Texar- kana, last night. The train was flagged by one of the rob- bers, who forced the fireman to go back and cut off the mail and baggage cars, and returning forced the engineer to give up the management of his engine. One of the robbers, who, it appears, is an expert engineer, ran the engine, mail and ex- press cars about a mile from the point ‘where the first stop was made and forced the express messenger to open his car. The robbers then blew open the safe with dynamite, securing, it is said, a very large amount of booty. e exact amount is ‘withheld by the rallroad company and the express people, but it is known that a very large shipment was made to-night on this train. The robbers after securing the loot cut off the engine from the mail and express cars, and forcing the engineer to get off they took the engine in charge of the rob- ber engineer and went south at full speed. At 1:30 o'clock this morning the engine had not been found. o passengers were molested. They were, however, badly frightened and hid their valuables. The robbers were evi- dently in possession of all the facts con- cerning this particular shipment of money, together with a schedule of the train, as their scheme was successful in every respect. A suspiclous character was seen to board the head end of the train leaving Texarkana. Railroad employes here seem to be confident that the Trobbery was committed by railrcad men from the man- ner in which they superintended the cut- ting off of the cars and the handling of the engine. The spot selected for the robbery was well adapted for this kind of work, as it iz wild and heavily timbered. The con- ductor and several passengers walked back to Texarkana, a distance of four miles. The Sheriff and sse have been summoned te go in pursuit of the robbers. There were flve men in the gang. STATE DENTAL EXAMINERS HOLD THEIR FIRST SESSION They Elect Officers and Will Carry Out Conditions of the New Law.

Captain Grierson of the United States army, who sent the dispatch, says he has compiete confidence in Ramirez and be- lieves he should be released, as he is the only man capable of catching Mesa. Act- ing Governor General Scott has sent the adjutant general of the rural guard, Ava- loé, to Manzanillo to investigate there. Another murder which is being investi- gated is that of a man named Castillo, who was killed early in the year. 1t was claimed at the time that he was killed by the rural guards. Castilla was editor of the Tribuna, on which De Castro also worked. DE COURSEY IS GIVEN DECISION OVER HERRERA LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3.—After twenty rounds, marked by some fast and furious fighting, Enly de Coursey of Los Angeies was given the decision over Aurelio Her- rera of Bakersfield to-night at Hazard's Pavilion, Herrera was a distinct disap- pointment, and showed none of the qual- ities that at one time classed him as a man worthy to meet McGovern. The only time he seemed to have a chance to win was in the third round, when he sent his opponent to the floor twice, De Coursey taking the full count the last time. Be- fore the round closed the men got into a flerce mix-up and Herrera became groggy, g.ng ‘was saved from going out only by the ell. In the tenth round both men were in bad shape, De Coursey taking the count for the second time, but Herrera was too weak to finish him. De Coursey did all the leading after the third round, and in the closc fighting had the Mexican at his mercy. The body punches made the Bakersfleld lad cautious, and toward the end of the fight he was hard put to last the limit Harry Stewart refereed the fight, and his decision gave general satisfaction. Much Bakersfleld money went begging at odds of 100 to 70 on Herrera, and consid- erable was covered at those figures. The preliminary between “Kid” Solomon and Clyde Burnham was called a draw. S e Killed in a Runaway. N. T. Gram, a retired piano manufac- turer, dled at the German Hospital yes- terday morning from the effects of in- furlel received last Saturday while driv- ng on the south drive in Golden Gate Park. The team which he was driving ran away and he was thrown from the carriage into a clump of bushes by the cide n% the road. He lay there for some time unconscious before he was discov- ered. He was a native of Denmark, aged 52 years, and resided at 1144 Howard street. e S — Fire in Stanford’s Arboretum.

FAR MILLONS NG T 15505 Legal Lights Battle for the Possession of $8,000,000. —r—.— Final Disposition of the Per- sonal Property Is at : - Stake. ’ Another chapter in the seemingly end- less litigation over the millions left b: James G. Fair opened in the Supreme Court yesterday with the attempt on the part of the executors to secure a reversal of Superior Judge Troutt's decision which invalidated the trust clause in regard to the personal property pertaining to the es- tate. The amount of money at issue Is esti- mated at more than $5,000,000 and consists for the most part of various stock hold- ings in this State and in New York. The | Supreme Court had, declared the trust clause invalid in so far as it pertains to the real estate. Judge Troutt came to the | same decision in regard to the personal| property. The Supreme Court is .now called upon to either affirm or reverse this decision, The ground which the law takes in the matter is that when one portion of a will is declared invalid the rest is also invaligh unless there is a line of demarkation which will permit of the various sections | being separated. The executors clalm that this line exists in the Fair will, and the heirs hold to the opposite opinion. The courtroom was crowded with, attor- neys and visitors anxious to hear the ar- guments which will enable the Supreme Court Justices to determine the final dis- | position of the enormous fortune. Attorney Garret McEnerney opened the casé® for the executors. He contendel thal the trust clause was valid in the matter of the personal property. Supreme Court decisions and statutes by the score were referred to in order to establish the claim that James G. Fair's intentions were set forth in a legal manner. Charles 8. Wheeler addressed the court for the heirs. - He maintained that the personal property and the real were so closely connected in the tr clause that the annulment of the one in- validated the other. The whole trust scheme, he attempted to show to the court, was shattered when the one part fell. There is no dispute as to Fair's in- tentions, but the fight is over the manner In which he attempted to carry them out. Considerable more time might have elapsed before the case was brought to trial, but both parties to the suit agreed to hasten matters as much as possible. All the arguments were not heard yes-| terday and the matter will be taken up | again this morning. The case will then be submitted and a decision may be ex- pected within a few weeks. Litigation will then be practically at an end, al- though the attorneys for Mrs. Craven are still attempting to find some avenue by which they may again enter upon the fleld of action.

It will be a quiet home wedding, with only the relatives and intimate friends of the contracting parties present. The cere- mony_ will be performed by Vicar Gen- eral Prmdegrufi‘ who is an old friend of the bride’s family. After the weading Mr. and Mrs. Dole will make a tour of the United States, re- turning to take up eir residence in Honolulu some time in October. Dole was appointed to his present posi- tion when Hawall was first acquired by this country, and has been the chief legal officer of the Territory ever since. When seen yesterday he begged to be excused from political subjects or talking on mat- ters nennlnlni to his office. He sald he was here on the first vacation he has en- joyed for nearly six years, and wished to leave business affairs entirely alone. Lecture by Mrs. Brown.

Sk Albert K. Happersberger, M. D., in the | furtherance of his constitutional right to retain his life and enjoy his liberty, has | filed suit for divorce. His wife, Euphemia Happersberger, he charges with having inflicted upon him more kinds and de- srees of cruelty than were ever dreamed of by the imperial executioner of the court of Peking. Dislocated joints, bruised flesh and mangled emotions he says have been his fate. Dr. Happersberger's detailed statement | of his woes and suffering is worthy of a place among the musty records of the dark days of the inquisition. He says | _Plaintit ana were marrfed in defenda y 3, 1 At ali_times men- tioned int plaintiff was a prac- ticing physician with offices at 41 Third street. During the twelve morths last past the de- (Mrs.- Happersberger) has, nearly every night. at 41 Third street, applied to the | platatiff obscene epithets; has run about the { hallways of the piace, shrieking and yelling { and, after plaintiff and defendant had retired | at night. has kept plaintiff awake the greater | part of the night by loud and offensive talk, has threatened to kill plaintiff, has searched ! his clothing in search of money, with the pro- | fessed - putpose of purchasing a pistol with | which to kill him, and frequently upon such occasions she has struck plaintiff with her shoes and chalrs and other articles of furni- ture. On one ocecasion, Happersberger contin- | ues, his wife locked him out of his rooms, | compelling him to search elsewhere for a place to repose. On another occasion, he says, she locked him in his rooms, kept | him there for an hour and caused him to miss important professional engagements. Again, about three months ago. Hap- persberger says his wife's screams caused a crowd to gather in the street and in the hallways of the building. and she was only subdued after two policemen had | taken a hand in the quarrel. On another | occasion it took three policemen to stop Mrs. Hapersberger, her husband avers and_then only after she had been threat- | ened with arrest. On May 3 last Happersberger claims his wife beat and kicked him black and blue and finished the assault by pulling his | night_shirt from his back and tearing it | into shreds. Happersherberger's diary continues: May 10—-Defendant struck and abused plain- tff. May 13—Defendant struck and abused plaintiff for sn hour and took $ from his pocket, saying she would buy a pistol and kill plaintiff. M Defendant struck. plain- tiff and acted so bolsterously that the polies | were summoned and plaintift was struck by defendant with such force and vioclence as to slocate his.left arm. May 25, 2 27 and s, 2 and 3—Defendant assaulted pulled his halr, bruised and dislo- | cated his body. J 21-Defendant threatened t5 beat out plaintiff’s brains with an iron cus- pidor. On many other occasions, Dr. Happers- berger . he was beaten, cursed, kicked, abused and made the target for various missiles by his wife. His wife uses stimulants excessively, he says. and this fact, coupled with an uncontroilable temper, has made his life a misery. Judge Seawell will try the case.
