L e i e e e 2 Y ) REGORDS BELIE BRIDE'S DENRL Inquiries for a Missing Groom Uncover a Romance. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May I15. According to the records of the County Clerk’s office of Marin County, Miss Pau- line Alden, daughter of Henry E. Alden, a real estate broker of this city, and Wil- liam Trost Jr. of Los Angeles were wed- ded at San Rafael on Tuesday by the Rev. Mr. James, a Presbyterian clergyman of that place. The wedding followed as the result of a week’s acquaintance, Trost having reg- istered at the Galindo Hotel exactly seven days before the runaway match occurred. Trost, who claimed to be a Southern Pa- cific Company employe, remained at the hotel until last Saturday. His where- abouts since then have not been disclosed. During the day the young woman de- nied that she had become a bride, but subsequent investigation disclosed the ex- istence of the official records. 1t was through the efforts of A. de Po- sier, a tower man for the Southern Pa- cific Company, to locate Trost that the romance was uncovered. De Posier in- quired at the Galindo Hotel to-day for the groom, saying Trost had borrowed money from him which he desired re- turned. He further declared he knew Trost and Miss Alden had gone to San Rafael to be married. It is said Trost met the young woman for the first time at the Galindo Hotel, where she resided. The bride recently made her debut in professional theatricals and shortly ex- to take an engagement on the road. Her father declares absolute ignorance of the e GALL FOR MORE SCHOOLAOOMS Berkeley Outgrows Its Accommodations for the Children. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, May 15. The voters of Berkeley will have a chance to-morrow to say whether or not they are willing to tax themselves $25,000 for school improvements. Money is abso- lutely needed, the School Directors say, to relieve the congested condition of.the schoolrooms. It will take a majority of votes to win, not two-thirds, as in bond elections, but even so the school authori- ties backing the project for all it is worth are a bit shaky about the outcome. The one polling place will be at the Kellogg School, on Center street, and the polls will be open from 8 o'clock until sunset. Supporters of the tax measure say the ingrease to meet the outlay will amount to about $2 50 for a year on ‘valuation. sheh o et This is not a bond election. There will be no interest charges, the proposition being to raise the money by a direct spe- clal levy.

[ MRGE GRANTS *IRE INVOLIED Titles in Mexico Await Probate of Carman Estate. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 15. A petition for the probate of the will and distribution of the es- tate of Mrs. Elizabeth Bliss Car- man, «he author, who died in Paris in 1889, was filed with the County Clerk to-day. By the probating of the will it is hoped to clear the title to lands of great value in Mexich Mrs. Carman was the widow of Benja- min R. Carman, who, with her husband, were old-time residents of Oakland and he was United States Consul to Mazat- lan, Mexico. He obtained grants of land in Mexico for railroad concessions in the early eighties. He died in 183, but his will was never probated. What property he had was left to his wife a son Frank and two daughters, Loutse and Emelita, Frank subsequently died and his share went to the mother and sisters, and when she died title to the Mexican lands went to the girls. The formality of probating the will was not gone through with, as Mrs. Carman died abroad, and Frank's share to the Mexican lands went by the law of suc- cession to the mother and girls. The property was distributed to Mrs. Marje L. Biglow Owen of Baldwinsville, N. Y., who had purchased the title to the Mexican grants from the two daugh- ters. The papers have been made out in Auplicate in order that a set may be sent to Mexico, where an immense amount of litigation is awaiting the settlement of the Carman estates in that country. Mrs. Owen in the meantime has already deed- ed the Mexican concessions to a wealthy New York syndieate. —————————— Petitions in Bankruptcy.

B a2 e e e S R R R S RSP CANINE'S BITE BRINGS DEATH Young Dairyman Suc- cumbs to Bad Case of Blood Poison. —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 15. Supposedly from a dog bite, George A. Downey, a dairy driver, contracted blood poisoning from which he died last night at the Fabiola Hospital after two weeks’ illness. Somewhat of mystery surrounds the case, because Dr. Alice Bush, the at- tending physician, was not thoroughly sat- isfled that the bite was the cause, al- though nothing else was uncovered to which the fatal trouble might have been traced. Downey was employed by the Oakland French Dairy, Frank Casaurang proprie- tor, at Claremont. While he was deliv- ering milk one night two weeks ago in ‘West Oakland a customer’s dog bit Dow- ney in thdJeft foot below the ankle. He paid no attdtion to the bite, because the skin did not appear to have been broken. Two days later Downey's hands began to swell. He had remained at work and stayed at the ranch for a week, until the swelling became so serious that his em- ployer sent Downey home to his mother, Mrs. Laura E. Downey, residing at 729 Fleventh street. Thence the sufferer was removed on Sunday to the hospital. During the incipient stages of his {ll- ness Downey handled a cow at the dairy that very soon began to turn black. The bovine was killed. The same symptoms with the swellings showed in the wagon driver. It was then that the serfous na- ture of his affliction began to be manifest. Downey was 26 years old, a native of Petaluma, where he had lived many years. —— Parade on Decoration Day. At a joint meeting of representatives from Thomas, Lincoln, Garfield and Meade posts, G. A. R, and Relnhold Richter Post, Service Men of the Spanish- American War, held last night in the Em- ma Spreckels bullding it was decided to encourage a parade for Decoration day, but it was agreed that G. A. R. men should not participate in it except upon personal desire, it being thought that such a march would be too fatiguing. Major H. B. Bush was chosen grand marshal for the day and the announcement made that a patriotic programme will be arranged for the evening of May 30 In the Theater Republic. -~ News of the County of Alameda * Y3 FUGITIVE la EMBEZZLER Hubert White Charges a Missing Employe With Theft. Ice Wagon Drivers’ Union Secretary Disappears Un- der a Cloud. —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 15. Accused by his employer of misappro- priating money which he had collected, Osmond A. L. MeCarl, secretary of the Ice Wagon Drivers’ Union, who was working for Hubert White, proprietor of the Oakiand Ice Company, 413 Eleventh street, has disappeared. His wife, Louise McCarl, dropped from public view at the same time. In addition to the amount that MeCarl is charged with being short on the com- pany's books, he has failed, according to his union officers, to account for a small sum of money which he held in trust for the Ice Wagon Drivers’ Union. He also owes the landlady of the Kelsey House 25 for room rent. Mr. White says that a few days before McCarl disappeared the Pacific Surety Company withdrew from his bond. The young man promised that he would get his father, J. A. McCarl, a plumber at 628 Telegraph avenue, to file a bond for him the first of the week. McCarl Sr. could not be found to-day, but it was learned at his shop that he knows nothing of his son’s whereabouts. Mr. White says that he will swear out a warrant for the ar- rest of his runaway driver as soon as the exact amount of the deficit has been as- certained. A short time ago McCarl and his wife were convicted of disturbing the peace of Mrs. S. E. Eibes, but sentence was sus- | pended pending an appeal to the Superior Court. —————————— CONTEST OVER WILL OF GEORGE SPENCER Granddaughter Claims a Ploneer Stage-Driver Was Influenced Against Her.

As is very frequently found the stomach trouble and headache in the following case came from the same cause. Dr. Miles’ Anti- Pain Pills, like all of Dr. Miles’ Remedies, are designed to cure the disease, not the symptoms.
