Just as the car rolled along, in charge of Motorman A. | L. Brown, the baby ran directly in front of it. She was hit on the head and tumbled over. Passing pedestrians picked the little one up and soon had the baby in Fer home. The mother was notified by children, who saw her approaching the house. Mrs. Shannon fell fainting trom the shock and was cared for by ncigh- bors. When she ~cvived she was assisted home, only to find her baby girl & corpse Dr. H. J. Lackey, Who was in tne neighborhood, was summoned, but he could only tell the distracted mother that her child was dead. That the little bod® was not badly mangled under the car wheels was due to the promptness with which the motor- man stopped car. Although a life was _lost, Brown did his utmost to pre- vent the acciden.. He was overcome with grief as he assisted to move the baby's body. As soon as he had completed his run, | Motorman Brown surrendered himself at the City Prison to Captain of Police W. F. Petersen, to whom he made the fol- lowing statement: My car was running at ordinary speed along Grove street, about b o'clock. At Twenty-sixth street I saw children playing in the street. Just as the car approached them the child that was killed ran out directly in front of the car. I reversed the motors as quickly as I could, but | it was too late to save the child, who was ! struck on the head and killed. Brown was charged with manslaughter, | but was released on his own recognizance by Police Judge Smith. The child’s father is a section boss, employed by the South- ern Pacific Company.

The Rev. E. R. Dille, pastor of the First Methodist Church and one of the prom- inent divines of this city, has declined a call to the First Methodist Church of Pasadena, the offer having been accom- panied with a substantial increase over his present salary. The .church is one of the leading religious organizations of Southern California, having finished re- cently a new edifice at a cost of $80.000, which is paid for. The refusal of Dr. Dille to accept .this attractive call has brought joy to his parishioners, among whom he is almost idolized. For nine years he has held the Oakland pastorate. His first term of ser- vice began in 1887 and he was in the pul- pit for the five years limit then placed upon a continuous pastorate under the {law of the Methodist church. ~Then he went to the Central Methodist Church in San Francisco, remaining there for five rears. f In 1897 Dr. Dille returned to Oakland, where he has since ministered to his large flock. The eccleslastical rule has | been changed, the time limit having been withdrawn. Dr. Dille has a reputation second to none on the Pacific Coast as a powerful pulpit orator. He is noted for his willingness to attack the dominant evils of the age with strong courage and abllity. Beloved by hig’ people and ad- mired by the church at large, his decis- | fon recelves warmest approval in this clty. Since his return to Oakland, Dr. Lille has been given an assistant, 'who is at present the Rev. W. M. Martin. | SABBATH DAY TOPICS | OF THE LOCAL PASTORS Ministers Select Varied Subjects -or | Learned Discussion in the Churches.

By an agreement, the terms of which are not made public, the suit of Barah D. Willlams, the divorced wife of the late Captain Henry D. Williams, whose esca- pades and death attracted so much atten- tion a year ago, against Louls Lazarus was dismissed to-day. The litigants are understood to have come to an agreement satisfactory to both, and that ends the great expense that was threatened by the pressing of the suit. The story of Captain Willlams is a strange narrative. After years of toil and adventure on the seas Ie settled down to live in California for the rest of his life. To secure himself of a comfortable living untll death overtook him he deeded two pleces of realty worth $19000 to Lazarus in consideration that Lazarus should pro- vide him with a life stipend. Not five weeks after the deeds were filed Captain Willlams died and Lazarus had only spent ;ISO on his client, from whom he got 19,000. Public Administrator Hawes applied for letters of administration on the estate, and in the course of his search for relatives discovered Mrs. Sarah D. Willlams of Boston. Mrs. Willlams proved that she was the wife of Captain Willlams. She discovered that he had secured a divorce from her somewhere in Arizona, but of this she had never been aware until death revealed the circumstance. Mrs, Willlams began suit against Laz- arus for the recovery of Captain Wil- llams’ property and the action has since been pending. Captain Willlams came in for a good deal of notoriety two years ago, when he was arrested for beating his fourth wife. He was sentenced to serve six months in prison, and in the meantime his wife got a divorce from him.

INJONGTION TIES LINDBLONS HANDS Nome Mining King Must Not Dispose of His Properties. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 10. Until his wife gets a divorce from him Erlc O. Lindblom, the Nome millionaire, who is_being sued for a divorce on the ground of cruelty, will not be In a posi- tion to dispose of any of his numerous valuable properties. Mrs. Mary Ann Lindblom, the complaining wife, secured an injunction to-day from Judge Ogden that ties the hands of her husband until their troubles have been adjusted. The injunction covers a lot of ground. It forbigs Lindblom from in any way dis- posing of any of his mines in Nome, any of his stocks, bonds, Government securi-- tles or notes or any of his interests in Mexico, where he is the principal owner in a street lighting concern. It also re- strains him from molesting his wife in her home at 2601 Hillegass avenue, Berkeley, expressly requiring him to stay away from Its vicinity. Mrs. Lindblom’s application for the in- junction is based on alleged threats of her husband before they separated that he would kill her if she carried out her in- tention of securing a divorce, and that if he did not do that he would dispose of all the property so she would have nothing for herself or their two children.

Pereira’'s Demise Due to Shock to That Organ. Verdict of the Coroner’s Jury Does Not Blame Dentist Schmidt. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, f 1118 Broadway, May 10. Heart weakness, aggravated by the ex- traction of her teeth, is declared by a Coroner’s jury to-night to have been the cause of the death of Mme. Maria Teresa Astorga de Pereira, who died In a dentist’s chalr Thursday afterncon. The jury's verdict does not blame Dr. G. L. Schmidt, who was treating Mme. Pereira at the time of her death. At the inquest this evening Miss Marle Pereira, the deceased’s daughter, first re- lated the events leading up to her moth- er's demise. She said Dr. Schmidt gave her mother brandy to stimulate her be- fore he began the extraction of twelve of her teeth. The dentist extracted three teeth and as she seemed to be weak he had given her a powder. Soon after that Mme. Pereira fainted and the daughter, becoming freightened, sought assistance. Bhe was not present when the physicians tried In vain to resuscitate har mother. Dr. Schmidt testified that while Mme. Pereira’s health might be good she did not seem altogether robust.
