Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 29. Castle Peterhof, with its strange mem- ories of mysticism and magic, is no more. The rambling structure that overlooked Upper Fruitvale from the high hillside on which it stood was burned to the ground this evening. All that remains of the mysterious home of the Order of the Black Cross is a mass of charred ruins and the memory of the ghostly crew that once held forth among its uncanny en- vironments. For miles around the mass of flames that destroyed the big white castle was visible. Hundreds of people were attract- ed to the scene, to watch the last of the mysterious building, which was the cen- ter of one of the most remarkable series of episodes in the record of fact. Soon after 5:30 o'clock this afternoon the fire was discovered. Alarms were given and the volunteer departments of Lower and Upper Fruitvale responded. But there was not a drop of water avail- able, so the fire fighters could only stand around and watch the rapid destruction of the famous old structure. < The place was tenantless and te tramps is ascribed the fire that has closed its existence. Two months ago it was occu- pied as a “Home for the k'riendless,” but the managers suddenly disappeared one a, Since then wanderers have enjoyed its hospitalities. Strange Story of a Black Cross. Castle Peterhot was located 150 yards east of Kruitvale avenue, opposiie East Twenty-seventh street. It was the home in his lifetime of Dr. Peter Willlam Poul- son, a one-time successful dentist in this city and one of the central figures in the strange story of the Black Cross, which startled Oakland a few years ago. When he appeared before public gaze it was as Count Peter Poulson of Castle Peterhof, founder and high priest of the Brother- hood of the Black Cross, a band of re- ligious devotees who had united to uplift their_spiritual condition. As high priest Dr. Poulson composed a strange ritual, calling for incantation and conjurings. The brethren assembled in a chapel, the walls and ceiling of which were draped in black, with streaks of flaming red over them. In monastic garb the worshipers made their esoteric divinations and ob- served the ritualistic ceremonies Count Peter had evolved. He owned Peterhof and many other holdings, the accumulation of his many years of professional practice. Poulson was at this juncture divorced from Mrs. Edna Snell Poulson, now a resident of Berkeley. He became interested in a clairvoyant, a Mrs. Staples of San n- cisco, who had a daughter, Alice. Count Peter decided that he had been command- ed by voices from the unseen world to wed the daughter. And in due time there was a spirit wedding. The new mistress of Peterhof was installed in the old castle. By and by trouble broke upon the high priest of the Black Cross. The very unspiritual divorce court was brought into service. Countess Poulson made very serious charges against her mystic lord and master. He retaliated with counter-charges. Before the litiga- tion came to trial the Count deeded Pe- terhof and a lot of Los Angeles property to the accusing wife. They separated for a time, but finally were reunited. Troubles Come to the Count. Across the path of the Count game one Lizzie Carter, who had known the leader of the Black Cross Brotherhood when he lived in Towa. Lizzie Carter tried to con- vince the dentist that he should put away his bride Alice and wed her. Miss Carter was positive that the spirits had gone awry, and -that she, Lizzie Carter, was the only true spiritual spouse for the Count. Miss Carter enlivened the domes- tic mixup by penning many remarkable letters to the master of Peterhof. A daughter, Deborah, had been born to the Poulsons. Among the followers of the Foulson mysteries was a Mrs. Boul- lion. She had a son, a mere child, who was duly consecrated as the spirit hus- band of young Deborah. Another strange devotee was Prophet Smith, who for several years resided at Peterhof, an object of curiosity and some alarm con the part of the uninitiated neighbors. At last Count Peter departed and ended his days at Council Bluffs, where he was given peaceful burial. Mrs. Poulson, now a widow, and with Peterh:of on her hands, iscovered that litigation cost money. The years of battle had eaten up the property. It came_to be an object of a dozen law- suits. She defended her title and won, but the mortgages rendered her victory a barren one. The widowed Countess married again a few years ago. She is now Mrs. Alice Austin, wife of a San Francisco musician Tesiding at 108 Clara avenue. Prophet Smith has gone to his reward. Lizzie Carter is an inmate of the Iowa State Hospital for the Insane and Peter- hof, with its ghostly towers and gables, is a heap of ashes. Held for Burglary. ‘William Kernan was held to answer be- fore the Superior Court by Judge Mogan yesterday on two charges of burglary in $1000 bonds on each charge. It is alleged that he broke into the basement of Louis A. Gyles' residence, 1420 Webster street, on November 23 and stole carpets, which he sold in a Mission-street second-hand store, and returned two days later and stole o(alnolher large roll of carpet, which he sold. —————— JENKINS NOT TO BE GOVERNOR OF OKLAHOMA The Cabinet Decides After Consider- able Discussion Not to Re- appoint Him.

Car No. 4 of the Eighth-street (East Oakland) branch of the Oakland Transit Company left the track this afterncon just as it crqssed the eastern approach to Eighth-street bridge at First avenue. Mrs. James Pritchard, a widow, residing at 658 Ninth street, was thrown from her seat into the street and badly injured.
