Father Hugh McNamee, one of the best known priests on this coast, is seriously 11 at the Holy Cross rectory in this city, where for twenty years he has labored and has seen his work crowned with suc- cess. Father McNamee came to Santa Cruz in 1863 from the cathedral at Los Angeles, | When he arrived he found the' congrega- | tion worshiping in a frame church much | too small, and he soon saw the need of | 2 new edifice. He went to work and n & | short time had erected a beautiful brick structure at a cost of about $40,000. E\'eri since the church was built he has added | to it statuary, a large organ and just a |- few months ago some of the finest confes- | sionals on the coast. It i due to him that the massive gran- ite triple arch surmounted by a- cross leading to the church was erected by the city of Santa Cruz at the centennial of | the founding of the Mission Banta Cl'lll] by the Franciscan Fathers, September 25, | 1751. Father McNemee, assisted by Mayor | Bowman and Elihu Anthony, the first Methodist pastor in Santa Cruz, went | about the city and gathered the subscrip- | tions to the amount of nearly $6000. The | centennial celebration was non-sectarian | in character and an event memorable in | the city’s history. | The pastor's next efforts were directed | toward the establishment of a parochial school for boys, one of the first Catholic { schoois for girls in the State having al- ready been established here by the Sia- ters of Charity. While in Europe he lec- tured with this object in view and real- iged $500. A schoolhouse was erected and dfier its completion he had built a resi- en.ce for the community of the Chris- t Brothers, who are in charge. The latest in the line of his works was the purchase of the former Methodist Chureh, which has been transformed into !a perish meeting place and which bears the neme of Montgomery Hall, after the op of that name. ither McNamee was born in County | Armagh, Ireland, in 18%. His studies were commenced in the Catholic Univer- v of Dublin and completed at All Hal- lows. On June 25, 1573, he was ordained. Before coming to Santa Cruz he was pastor of the Cathedral at Los Angeles. | | REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. | Samuel Morgenstern to Hannah Tucker, lot line of Caiifornia street, 32 W of Larkin, N 87; $10.

The party traveled on a special over the Den- | ver and Rio Grande Railroad and the | train was ditched by a washout near | Pueblo, Colo., two nights ago. The ex- curelonists lost nearly all their baggage | and much of their wearing apparel. Many Uniform Rank men in the party lost their uniforms. This was the only special train to ar- rive, but special cars were attached to all the regular trains ‘and about 500 Knights and ladles arrived during the day. 'she members of the Uniform Rank companies, lying over here, spent the day in riding about the city in the ob- servation cars, taking in the sights and excursions to the beaches and to Mount Lowe. Late in the afternoon two special trains left for the north carrying away about 600 of the visitors. At 2:30 o'clock to-morrow afternoon the Third Regiment special of twelve cars will leave for the north. This train will carry 700 Uniform Rank men and their ladies.

AT ERKELEY, Aug. 8.—Every helght crowned with a grove of stately sequolas, every street lined with thriving shade trees—this is to be the Berkeley of the future, when the ladles of the Town and Gown and Hillside clubs shall have completed their labors. What municipal Councils fail to do the zeal of private endeavor will ac- complish. Berkeley is to be made beauti- ful. More than a year ago Poet Charles H. | Keeler and others of the esthetically In- lined conceived the idea of starting a M) lVERCE: 1 A movement amonF the residents of the col- lege town for planting shade trees along its principal boulevards. Immediately the ladies of the Town and Gown Club and the members of the Hillside Club adopted’ the idea, and now they are working joint< ])’" for the beautification of their home city. The plans of the club ladies have gone far beyond the original ideas of the peo- ple who concelved the movement. Not only is every street in Berkeley to receive the attention of the tree planters, but- every resident of the hill district north of the university grounds has pledged him- self to flam. a sequoia, like the species in the famous Mariposa grove, in every fifty-foot lot, so that in years to come there will be a great grove of Califor- nia’s State tree as a background for the greater university. The efforts of the ladies have been so successful that by the end of the fail season elms and maples will be set out along some of the principal streets of the town. Floyd Furlong has been en- gaged as director of the planting, and contributions for more trees are coming in promptly from the enthusiastic resi- dents of the college town. — 1 o+ MEMBERS OF BERKELEY HILL- BIDE CLUB WHO ARE INTER- ESTED IN BEAUTIFYING TOWN. The efforts of the club women will not stop at Berkeley. It is intended to bring a(roniexml tical pressure to bear on the next gislature to cause the present law concerning the municipal planting and care of trees to be modified so as to make such efforts as are now being carried out less burdensome. They are algo trying to arouse on this coast an organized senti- ment in favor of the Government preser- vation of some sequoia grove like the Mariposa forest, which c¢an be perma- nvently protected from ravages of timber cutters. In this they intend to act in con- cert with some prominent leaders in the same movement who live in Oakland. Among those most interested in the tree-planting movement are Mrs. Marga- ret Robinson, former president of the Hillside Club; Mrs. J. M. Pierce, Mrs, A. J. Ralston, Mrs. C. H. Keeler, Mrs. Charles Palmer, Mrs. E. V. Hathaway, Mrs. J. N. Le Conte, Mrs. P. R. Boone, Mrs. J. C. Lynch, Mrs. Charles Jusison, Mrs. B, 3. Wickson and Madame Vincent aget. BRUTAL ASSAULT 0N BLACKSMITH Hymen Resnick Is Blind- ed and His Family Is Destitute. Out at Mount Zion Hospital on a bed of pain lies Hymen Resnick, a blacksmith, who conducted a small shop at 417 Sixth street. By a brutal and cowardly act alleged to have been committed by Fred Hannigan a grocer at 1115 Folsom street, he has been totally blinded. His family, iwhich consists of a wife and five little children, are entirely destitute and since Resnick was injured last Thursday they have had to depend on the charity of the nelghbors for the necessaries of life. Mrs. Resnick is confined to her bed, as it was only a few days ago that she gave birth to her fifth child. Resgnick lost the sight of his left eye geveral years ago, and on last Thursday he was blinded in the right eye by belng struck just above that organ with an fron snapper attached to a strap in the hands, it is said, of Fred Hannigan. Han- nigan was arrested and his case was call- ed for trial Friday morning in Judge Mo- gan’s court. It whs continued, however, as Resnick was too iil to testify. Resnick’s story of how he was deprived of his sight is as follows: *“On last Wednesday Hannigan brought a cart with broken springs to my shop to have it repaired. On Thursday after- noon he called with an assistant to get the vehicle. He refused to pay the charges, which were $5. He told me that I cculd look for my pay.to the man who had broken the cart. He and his assist- ant then proceeded to hitch up the cart and when they had it hitched I caught hold of the horse’'s bridle and refused to Jet them take the cart away. Hannigan and the man who accompanied him jumped out of the cart. Hannigan swore at me and called me a Jew. He said, ‘If You do not let go that horse I will knock out your other eye’ He then struck me with his fist and as I turned to call for my assistant to come to my assistance, he struck me over the right eye with the léion spapper. I fell to the ground blind- The asseult has caused ?ent indigna- tion in the vicinity of Resnick’s home on Sixth street. The blacksmith, all the neighbors agree in saying, was a most in- dustrious man, who attended strictly to his business. He made sufficient in his little smithy to support his family, but not enough to put any aside for a rainy day. Now that misfortune has over- taken Resnick’s family, they are reduced to destitution. e BERLIN, Aug. 9.—Charlemagne Tower, United Btates Embassador to Russia, arrived here_to-day from Switferland on his Way to §t. Petersburg. SETTLE DISPUTE WITH THE GLOVES Medical Students Battle Nine Rounds to a Knockout. Two rival students at the Hahnemann Medical College, corner Sacramento and Maple streets, battled for nine rounds yesterday afternoon with small gloves and one of them’ was knocked out. The affair took place in one of the lecture rooms of the college which was tempor- arily fitted up as a boxing arena. James Bennett, a student halling from Alameda, and Stanley Jordan, recently from Denver, wera the principals. In the ninth round Bennett, who had the advantage in weight, bored in on his opponent and walloped Jordan with sev- eral hard jolts under the heart. Jordan fought back gamely, but the tide of vic- tory was ebbing too fast against him. A hard smash on the mouth put Jordan on ‘“‘Queer” street, and as he staggered back Bennett caught him a 2rushing right on the point of the chin and he went to the mat and was counted out. The bout was brought off in regulation style. Both wore boxing costumes and were attended by seconds. There was no bad blood between the two students. They had been boxing in a friendly way for some time, and a dis- puté as to which was the cievcrer boxer arose between them. Their fellow stu- dents arranged the contest and it was agreed that the dispute as to who was the better man would be settled on a friendly basis. And so the match was brought off yesterday afternoon in the presence of about twenty-five spectators. In the opening rounds both students fought cautiously and displayed consid- erable knowledge of the scientific points of the game, Jordan was cleverer than his lanky opponent and up to the fifth round he had everything his own way. He peppered Bennett at will with a well gauged left that nearly always went true to Its mark. In the fifth rcund Bennett began to mix matters and at in-fighting he had & shade the better of the going. When the gong tapped for the ninth round there was little to choose between them. Then Bennett made his grand stand finish and put JorGan to sleep. The students who were fortunate enough to withess the contest expressed satisfaction over the fact that ths battle went over Body Shows Sign of Murder. —ECHOE, Utah, Aug. 9.—A body, identi- fled by papers found thereon as that of John McDonald of Sandstone, Minn., was discovered this morning alongside the Union Pacific Railway track one mile west of town. A hole, apparently inflicted by some dull instrument, appears i{n the back of the ‘head afi the head is other- wise bruised. The ground near the body shows signs of a struggle, and the au- thorities belleve McDonald was killed by tramps for the purpose of robbery, as the body, though well dressed, bore noth- ing of value. Mounted posses are search- ing for the supposed murderers. ———— New Cabinet in Peru.

Gains Two Days’ Leave at Portland and Works Out Swindling Game. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, * 1118 Broadway, Aug. 9. And now “Lieutenant Edgar N. Coffey self-confessed forger of army checks, ap- pears as & deserter from the United States army. Under the name of Charles E. Miller, he enlisted July 29 at Seattle in the regular army. Sent to the reeruit- ing station at Portland, Or., *Miller,” at his own request, was granted two day leave before going to the Vancouver (\\'ils'h.zl barracks, to which he had assigned. % Bli‘lz“ng that forty-elght hours “Miller, the latest alias of this much named youth, made his raid on the office statiomery, which he swindled Mrs. Barbara Allen of the Hotel Galindo and fled to Oakland, been ! | formed, was residing in San Francisco. wrote his forged letters and checks with | Such i the newest phase of the record | which the police are piling up against| their dudish prisoner. And it explains in| considerable measure his anxiety to get| into a penitentiary. He knew that the | military authoritles would speedllyfl be on | his trall. Not only would “Miller” have | a charge of desertion to face, but that| of theft and fraudulent use of military | documents and supplies, the punishment | for which can reach as high as life im- prisonment in a military bastile. Against that situation ‘“‘Miller” calcu- lated the possibilities of sentence in lhei eivil courts upon a plea of gullty to for- | gery. The maximum is only fourteen years, with a minimum of a one-year term In a State penitentiary. Quite a different aspect was presented as com- pared with the known rigorous treatment of army thieves by the courts-martial. With this fresh light on the young for- ger, the police have started to investl gate why this clever and intelligent young swindler sought army life. Chief Hodg- kins and Detective Holland are satisfied now that he enlisted to bury himself from | ublic and police gaze. The Oakland po- flce officials are _thoroughly convinced that the bogus officer- is a fugitive trom} Eastern cities: that he pas committed many similar crimes in the East, and that their communication with othér lo- calitles will uncover a cross-continent trail of swindling. “‘Coffey” maintains absolute silence | about his past. His capture he attributes | in part to the fact that he did not know he was sending his forged letter of in-} troduction to a woman when he selected | from the hotel guide the names of the | Oakland hostelries and started with the | Galindo. | “It might have worked better if Mrs. Allen had been a_ Mr. Allen,” said “Cof-| fey” to Chief Hodgkins.
