By securing an option on- the property at the northwest corner of Fourteenth and Jefferson streets, the directory of the Young Men's Christian Association has taken the first step toward the con- summation of ambitious plans that have been laid for the future of the organiza- ") Son.

BERKELEY, Aug. 25.—Professor J. C. Merriam, head of the department of palaeontology at the University of Calii- fornia, returned to-day from a flying trip to the fossil caves of the McCloud River, where the student geologist, Eustace Fur- long, made his recent important discovery of the bones of the rare cave bear.

It is probable that many more rare fossil bones of the arctotheriun or cave bear will be found before we complete our labors.” ————— JULIA STURM’S MOTHER REFUSES TO PROSECUTE Too Much Notoriety Reason She De- clines to Swear to Complaint Against Carter. OAKLAND, Aug. 2.—Mrs. Henry D. Sturm of 846 Isabella street, whose 12- year-old daughter, Julla Sturm, was found unconscious from the effects of whisky that had been given to her in the tent of the merry-go-round at Twenty-niinth and | West streets, refused to-day to swear to a | complaint against J. K. Carter, the man who is accused of mistreating the child. Mrs. Sturm’s reason for this attitude to- ward the accused is that too much no- toriety has come of the affair already and she does not want her child held up to the public gaze. The police wanted the moth- er to swear to the complaint, but they have enough information upon which to base an accusation that will come from | some other source if Mrs. Sturm shall maintain her refusal to act. THAYER MARRIES WITHOUT H LETTING FRIENDS KNOW Slips Away to Redwood City, Where ; He Makes Emma Frances Marrett His Bride. OAKLAND, Aug. 2.—M. F. Thayer, the well known boniface, was married last Monday in Redwood City, but he did the deed without saying a word to his num- erous friends about it. His friends wouldn’'t have known about it yet but for the publication of the marriage li- cense records. These show that Thayer t a license on August 18 to marry Em- ma Frances Marrett, also of this city. Further investigation discloses that the couple subsequently presented the cer- tificate to the Rev. A. 8. Gibbons, a Methodist minister, who performed the wedding ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Thayer are now receiving congratulations from | their friends.

More Than One Hundred of the Society ‘Go Over to Presbyterianism. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. %. The members of the Plymouth Avenue nue and Elm street, have voted to dis- | band, and 103 of the roll have decided to go over to the Presbyterian faith in a body. This action follows upon the opening of the new Fourth Congregational Church i | its edifice which was dedicated yesterday. | The Plymouth Avenue people have felt | that they could not maintain their organi- zation because of the nearness of the new and more attractive church, which is located at Thirty-sixth and Grove streets, only a few blocks distant from the Ply- mouth Church. | _When the matter of building the Fourth Church was raised, a NLroversy arose among its members and ‘Was necessary to go into court before the matter was settled. Those who desired to sell the old Fourth Church and build a new one won the day. The Plymouth Church people rather re- sisted this move, because they believed that the Fourth Church would encroach | upon their territory. When the new | church was assured, the Plymouth con- gregation decided that their usefulness as an organizaiion had ended. Some of their | members will afiiliate with the Fourth | Church. Their pastor, the Rev. Stephen | R. Wood, resigned several months ago, | having felt that his church could not | exist under the new conditions. Those | who have signed the petition to join the | Presbyterian church will ‘worship tem- | porarily at the mission at Walnut street and Telegraph avenue, which is conducted | by the First Presbyterian Church. | REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.

IMYSTERY SURROUNDS THE DEATH OF GERMAN CIGAR-MAKER'S WIFE Mrs. Amelia Peters Succumbs From Effects of Quantity of Rough. on Rats, Taken She Asserted With Suicidal Intent ERKELEY, Aug. 25.—An element of mystery surrounds the death of Mrs. Amelia Peters, wife of Herman Peters, a German cigar- maker, of 845 Delaware street, who died shortly after 12 o'clock last night from the effects of a dose of rat poison taken by her evidently with sui- cidal intent. Although the woman took the poison at 11 o’clock yesterday morn- ing and told her family that she had done S0, a physiclan was not called until 8 p. m., when she was near to death. The husband of the dead woman asserts that his wife took the poison by mistake, thinking it was medicine, and yet the woman confessed to Dr. Gladding, Who was present at her death, that she had taken the rough-on-rats with suicidal intent. I k2 - SUICIDE. & | | MOTHER OF SIX CHILDREN WHOSE DEATH BY POISON AT HER HOME IN WEST BERKELEY IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A - Although she was the picture of health and, according to the neighbors who knew her, a happy and contented woman, Mrs. Peters suddenly confronted her fam- ily yesterday morning with the statement that she had taken two teaspoonfuls of rough-on-rats. Her husband was in San Francisco at the time, and the children, instead of notifying a physician, at- tempted to administer relief with simple household remedies. By 8 o’clock the woman was in convul- sions, and Dr. Gladding and later Dr. Dukes of Oakland were called.- The phy- siclans saw immediately that there was no hope of saving the woman, and at FAIR AT MARYSVILLE IS ATTRACTING CROWDS Exhibits Are All in Place and Every- thing Is in Readiness for the Opening.

All indicatiens point to a ful meeting. *Visitors trom a distance arrived In large rumbers, Sunday and to-day, and the out- side attendance is now certain to be the largest for several years. Of the local attendance, little can be said, except that all classes are very busy, but no doubt iarge numbers will be at the track on Fri- day and Saturday. In years past the at- tendance at and patronage of the pavilion exhibits has béen far from satisfactory, but this year considerable interest has been shown and the exhibition will eclipse all former attempts. The work at the pavilion is in charge of Ferd Hauss, G. Hutchins, J. P. Onstott and H. F. Sieber, who are men of experience. Pavilion exhibits must all be in position by noon Tuesday, so that pat- Tons can be admitted during the afternoon and evening. At the racetrack all will be in readi- ness by the noon hour Tuesday and at 1 o'clock the first race will be called. There is a good attendance of horses and four good races will be started each day, for which liberal purses are offered. One of the best trotting races of the meeting will take place Tuesday, the 2 class, for which several horses of note are entered. The city is filled to overflowing with visitors and horsemen. The hotels are crowded and private residegcefi are being taxed for sleeping rooms. Still accommo- dations can be had for all who come. e i Santa Cruz Elects Freeholders.

In a statement made to Dr. Gladding shortly before her death Mrs. Peters con- fessed that she had taken the poison that morning because she wanted to dle, but gave no reasons for her act. Since no shadow of any married infelicity existed and both Peters and his wife were re- spected _members of the community, the cause of her suicide is a deep mystery. Dr. Gladding conducted an autopsy at the residence of the deceased this after- noon, which showed that her statements concerning the cause of her death were true. The inquest will be held at the res- idence at 7 o’clock to-morrow night. L S ) AGREES TO CONSTRUCT GARBAGE CREMATORY William H. Friend Says He Will Raise Money if Given Exclu- sive Franchise. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 25. ‘William H. Friend, the former Postmas- ter, made application to the City Council to-night for an exclusive franchise to es- tablish a garbage crematory. He asks that the franchise cover twenty-five years, giving the city an option of pur- chasing at the end of ten years. For the privilege Mr. Friend agrees to pay the city 3 per cent of the annual income be- ginning at the expiration of five years. The applicant states that it is proposed to spend not less than $40,000 on the cre- matory. It will have a capacity of 100 tons of garbage a day, this estimate of the amount of refuse to be destroyed be- ing based on the experience of San Fran- cisco, where a plant has been in operation for several years. The application was referred to the Or- dinance and Judiciary Committee of the City Council for consideration. ) ———— MISS MAE ROSS BECOMES THE WIFE OF W.
