Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 29. While on a hunting trip to the Alvarado marshes James Boyd, a merchant resid- ing at 257 Perry street, San Franisco, dropped dead this morning, his body be- ing found near the Golden Gate Gun Club's headquarters on the marsh. The deceased hunter left San Francisco with a party of friends yesterday after- noon to enjoy a day’'s sport among the marshes on a duck hunting trip. Early this morning they arose and started for the “blinds,” which were located some distance from the club headquarters. The “blinds” were reached by a trail across a levee which had been erected to protect the back lands from tide overflow. Mr. Boyd had been out very early and had started back to the clubhouse for breakfast, when he suddenly fell to the ground. Others in the party missed him and a search was made. The body was located at 7 o'clock midway between the “pblinds” and the clubhouse. The remains were taken to Centerville, where an inquest will be held. From ex- ternal appearances heart disease was the cause of death. It is supposed Mr. Boyd over exerted himself during the trip. He was one of the oldest native sons in the State, having been born in San Fran- cisco fifty-five vears ago. His relatives have been notified of his death. - Trustees to Meet.

P PRROOIOORDOOOROTY HEAVY RAINFALL 5T0P5 TRAFFIC Railroad Lines Tied Up in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 2.—Inces- sant rains for the past forty-eight hours throughout Eastern Tennessee threaten to do more damage to property than the dis- astrous flood of last May, when eight lives were lost and fully $2,000,000 damage was done to railroad and farming property. The Southern Railway has stopped all trains between this city and Asheville, N. . owing to the water-covered and per- shed-out tracks between Newpert and Rankin. All through traffic and mail will be handled over the Norfolk and Western. It will be impossible for the Southern to handle the trains east, via Asheville, until late to-morrow at least and possibly longer, for rain is still fall- in; he Tennessee River is nearing the thirty-foot mark at this point, with indi- cations that it will reach forty feet and do heayy damage. LANCASTER, Pa., Dec. 29.—A heavy rainfall has been continuous in this section since I evening. All the streams in the county are swollen greatly beyond their volume and.Conestoga Creek has over- flowed its banks to an extent unknown in recent years. The bridge crossing this stream at Engleside is threatened with de- struction, and traffic on the Lancaster- Strasburg Railway, of which the bridge is a link, has been suspended. The bridge has begun to move and it is believed will be washed away. It was erected seventy- five years ago. High water at the plant of the Lancas- ter Electric Light Company at Rockhill, on the Conestoga, affected the system and ctions of the city are in darkness to- night. The Susquehanna River is rising rapidiy. At Safe Harbor, where the Con- estoga empties, the rise in the river is at the rate of six inches an hour. The tracks of the Port Deposit and Columbia Rail- road at this point are submerged and much apprehension is felt for property on low-lying ground. At Bald Friar, further down the river, a landslide has occurred, covering the tracks at Columbia and Ma- rietta. The river has not yet risen suffi- ciently to cause alarm. PITTSBURG, Dec. 2).—Heavy rains for thirty-six hours here and at all headwater points on both rivers has produced a con- dition which will result In what may be called a flood stage in the Ohio River by to-morrow. when at least twenty feet is predicted. Time!y warning by the weather bureau will be the means of saving much property and only temporary inconveni- ence is expected by interests along the river fronts. At midnight the marks at Davis Island dam showed 14 feet and the water was rising at the rate of four-tenths of a foot an hour. Both the Allegheny and Mo- nongahela are still rising. HUMOROUS LETTER FROM PITTSBURG BOY IN MANILA Paints Unique Pen Pictures of the Country, Crops, People, Cus- toms and Occupations. Private John C. Krause of the Sixth Cavalry, now in the Philippines, is a Pitts burg boy, and he has given this geography of the islands in a letter home: , “The isl- ands are a bunch of trouble on'the west- ern horizon. They are bounded on the west by hoodooism and smuggling, on the north by rocks and destruction, on the east by typhoons and monsoons, and on ihe south by cannibalism and earthquakes. The climate 1s a combination of electric charges. especially adapied to ‘raising Cain.' The soll is extraordinarily fertile in producing large crops of insurrection and trickery. The inhabitants are very indus- trious, the chief occupation being the making of bolos and knives, and the un- loading of Remington rifles and cartridges. Their amusements are cock-fighting and cheating. Théir diet consists of boiled rice, stewed rice, fried rice, and rice. The Philippine marriage service is very im- pressive, especially the clause wherein a wife can obtain the privilege of working as much as her husband desires. Manila, the largest city, is situated on beautiful Manila Bay, a large, land-locked body of water, full of disease, sharks, and sub- marine boats of Spanish make. The prin- cipal exports of the islands are rice, hemp gation. Prohibitionist to Lecture.

The most important fmports are American soldiers, arms, am- munition, beer, and tobacco. Malaria is so prevalent that on numerous occasions the islands have been taken with a chill. Communication has been established , be- tween the numerous islands by substi- tuting mosquitos for carrier pigeons, the mosquitoes. being much larger and better able for the jourrniey.

More Than Two Thousand People Gather at Chapel " in Fruitvale. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 29. In marked contrast with a life spent amid the tinsel glitter of stageland were the funeral services held this afternoon at Fruitvale over the remains of Walter Melville Bishop, or Walter Morosco, as the public knew him. Simplicity marked the ceremony and the little chapel in which the last words were said. The mourners were mostly children, whose bitter griet paid a rare tribute to the memory of their dead friend. It was the children that Walter Moros- co in his lifetime revealed himself as he was. It was these same children that took the last look at the dead face and it was with children’s hands that violets, moist with children’s tears, were gently placed upon the casket until the narrow box was transformed into a bed of gor- geous purple. The coffin was carried from the chapel to the hearse through a lane of weeping little ones, who strewed with still more purple blossoms the path . of_the beare: Services we held at Fruitvale Congre- gational Chapel, and at 2:30 the little place of worship was crowded to the door The throng surrounded the building, and for nearly a block Fruitvale avenue was one mass of humanity. The chapel has accommodations for about 300 people. There were in attendance more than 2000. The church was heautifully decorated with flowers, this part of the work hav- ing been attended to by Mrs. Henry Wetherbee of Fruitvale. The service was conducted by the Rev. Henry B. Mowbr: the pastor, who pald. a sincere tribute to the dead man’s life and spoke feelingly of the loss sustained in_his taking off. Vocal selections were rendered by male quartet under the direction of Samuel D. Mayer, yho also presided at the organ. The other members of the quarte t were Benjamin Clark, J. F. Fleming and J. R. Jones. At the church they sang “Rock of Ages.” “Go to Thy 2 Rest in Peace” and “Good Night.” ~ At the graveside they sang “‘Nearer, My God, to Thee” and “Forever With the Lord.” The chief mourners were Harry Mor- csco, only son of deceased, and his wife: Henry and Edward Bishop, brothers of deceased; Willard Parry and Bishop, nephews, and Oliver and Morosco, adopted sons. The pall-bearers were: F. Graham, R. B. Hogue, L. J. Ohnimus. Charles Nay- lor, W. Marwedel and Alfred Cohen. The honorary pall-bearers consisted of a guard of honor from the Fruitvale ca- dets and six small boys from the West Oakland Home. Deceased was an hon- orary member of the cadets and had been for many vears a stanch friend and financial supporter of the home. Sergeants Clark and Crosby, Corporals helman and Stevens, Musiclan Stev- ens and Private Sioueria made up the cadet guard.
