Be- tween fearing for her safety and looking after the interest of the joint property of herself and her husband Mrs. Ford’s hands are full. She says her husband is in a condition of inebriety constantly, which causes all the trouble. _—e————— Detective Goes to Springfield.

While driving a horse attached to a wagon belonging to the Vienna Bakery, | 133 O'Farrell street, at noon yesterday, | | from Polk south to Geary street, Adam | | Baker failed to keep the animal well in | | hand, or did not heed an approaching car. The horse dashed onto the occupants of | the dummy seat. It struck Miss Estella Greenbaum, who is stopping at the Riche- lieu on a visit from New York, with the result that her arm was painfully injured. | A little girl barely escaped being crushed by the horse. The animal was thrown to the ground vith great force. There was much ex- tement for a while, as it was feared | that the shaft of the wagon had injured a | lady who seemed to have been jammed | against the back of the seat of the car. | After the horse had fallen it was ascer- | tained that she had escaped with nothing | | the imminent peril of her positien. | The force of the collision was apparent | in the inability of the horse to rise for some little while. It was remarkable that | no one was fatally injured. . | *“It's lucky that that horse isn't a kick- er,” was all that Adam Baker had to say after the occurrence. ——————— Loses His Money and Timepiece. D. E. O'Connell, who is employed at 430 California street, complained to the police several days ago that he had been robbed of 3100 in coin, a watch valued at $120 and a §25 gold pencil in the Grossner House at 321 Sutter street. O'Connell's story was to the effect that he was accosted by a stranger who asked him for money. After changing $5 in a saloon, he invited the stranger to share a room with him in_ the lodging-house. When O'Cennell awoke next morning his property was, gone, Detectives Ryan and O'Dea recov- ered the watch in a pawnshop and yes- terday arrested James Brown while he was trying to dispose of the pencil. Brown is not the man who sold the watch. He claims that he found the pen- cil two nights ago in Union Square Park. O'Connell seems very reluctant to prose- cute the case, saying that he simply de- sires his property back. —_—e Demand Books of the Association. The “insurgent” board of directors of the Odd Fellows' Cemetery Association elected Tuesday afternoon made a formal demand yesterday upon Manager Fletcher for possession of the books and safe of the association. The officers, including H. F. Maass, president; Otto tum Suden, secretary; A. W. Hahn, superintendent and manager; D. Bécker, vice president, and A. Pauba, treasurer, constituting the “insurgent’” board, called in a body at the cemetery and were peremptorily re- fused access to the books and papers. Tum Suden then formally announced that he would carry the matter into the courts. —_————— Malone Out of Probation. John Malone, 60 years of age and em- pioyed as an iron moider at the Union Iron Works for the past twenty-six years, was up before Judge Graham yesterday | on a charge of insanity. The complaint , was sworn to by his wife, who charged him with being dangerous and with hav- ing threatened to take her life. Malone, who had recovered from the effects of drink, secured the service of an attorney to defend him. Judge Graham allowed Malone to go on probation. ———— 1, DRAW CAPTAIN'S PAY.—By a rule of the Fire Commissioners, passed yesterday, all lieutenants when performing the’ duties of captains for a longer period than ten days will be entitled to draw the pay of the rank sub- stitute, This rule will not apply at periods covered by the usual yearly vacations.

M. Hays, former presi- dent of the Southern Pacific, and E. H. Harriman, who controlled the corpora- tion at that time and who is at present the executive head of the big railroad, has just come to light. It is now known why Hays resigned. ‘When Hays came to California, one of the first impressions that he received was ! that the Southern Pacific was sadly in| need of new rolling stock. The locomo- tives wheezed and coughed and reeled as | if they had been taking strong drink. Hays decided that new motive machines must be ordered at once. He accordingly placed an order for twenty-two engines with the Baldwin Lo- comotive Company of Philadelphia. He had used this make of engines on his roads in the East and liked it. On the other hand, E. H. Harriman favored the | engines constructed by the American Lo- comotive Company, which is a big trust. ‘When Harrifnan learned that Hays had ordered the locomotives fram the Bald- win Company he sent the president a very caustic telegram. A hot one was sent in reply and then telegrams were exchanged that made the men who translated the ciphers shake their heads and remark that “something would be doing” in the near future. The last telegram that Harriman sent was too warm for Hays and he according- ly packed a few of his clothes and travel- ed to New York to have a personal inter- view with Harriman. At that time he was fully aware that the American Loco- motive Company had sent representatives to San Francisco to secure an order for some engines. These representatives were registered at the Palace and had the pleasure of picking up the morning papers at their breakfast and reading that the man they had come all the way from the East to sell locomotives to had gone to New York and would not see them. This is the story of the first breach be- tween Hays and Harriman and it led to the former's resignation.

Change of Faith Forces His Withdrawal From the Local Pulpit. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 24. After preaching the creed of the Chris~ tian Church for fourteen years, the Rev. Frank Abraham Poweil, pastor of the First Christian Church, has renounced the orthodox faith and turned to that of the Unitarian. The Rev. Mr. Powell resigned from the pulpit of the First Christian Church, which he had occupled for two years, & month ago, but at that time a full ex- planation of his action was not told. It was given out that his withdrawal was due to the fact that he had reached the limit of his powers in the resuscitation of a church whose career had been a series of misfortunes. A week or so after his resignation, how- ever, the Rev. Mr. Powell confided to the official board of the church that he had experjenced a change of faith, which made it impossible for him to conscientiously remain in the Christian Church. The of- ficlal board was shocked when he inform- ed it that his rejection of orthodoxy was in favor of Unitarianism, to which he had given considerable thought and study. e Rev. Mr. Powell explained that he did not withdraw immediately, as he did not wish to preclgnate confusion upon the church and also because of an agreement to give the elders thirty days’ notice be- fore relinquishing its pulpit. He has preached regularly since them, carefully avoiding. however, any expression of views that would conflict with those of the congregation. “This change of faith has come upon me gradually,” said the Rev. Mr. Powell at his home’ this_evening. “I have been a student of the Unitarian doctrine for some time and now believe that I am safe in rejecting my old faith. 1 do not wish to say just at present what influences brought about t conversion, as I am still technically copnected with the First Christian Church and I would not wish to do or say anything that would injure the feelings of the people of that church, who have been very kind to me.
