B R. Shafter Address the Old Soldiers and Arouse the lack and General William g Wildest Enthusiasm of the Men Who Bled for the Fla | | S Special Dispatch to The Call. OUNTVILLE, Aug. 30.—General John C. Black. commander ia chief, and General Willlam R. Shafter, department commander of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic, arrived at the Veterans’ Home in this county last evening and remained at the inst‘tution until 3 o'clock this afternoon. The greet'ng given by the “old boys” to these distinguished leaders took on the character of & great ovation. The first demonstration of welcome was informal but impressive. The veterans of their own accord alligned themselves along the main avenue of the reservation and saluted the commanders upon their arrival. After dinner at the officers’ cottage, Generals Black and Shafter went to Social Hall, where nearly all the members of the Home had assembled to see and hear the commanders. The audience composed veterans of three wars—the Mexican war, the great war for the pres- ervation of the Union and the Spanish- American war. Colonel George W. Watts, commander of the Home, introduced the eminent rep- resentatives of the Grand Army. Senti- ments of patriotism eloquently expressed, tributes to the country, and honor to the flag fittingly rendered by the trio of com- manders evoked rounds of prolonged ap- plause. Brief remarks were also made by Mrs. John C. Black, Mrs. C. H. Blinn and Colonel and Mrs. C. Mason Kinne. The review of the troops this forenoon by Generals Black and Shafter was the event of the memorable visit. The col- umn was superb in style, considering the EXPECT RESULTS FROM MEETING City Trustees to Confer With the Railroad | round—Imperi- | . ALAMEDA, Aug. 30.—What is ex- pected to be the most important con- tees and the representatives of the Southern Pacific Company, relative to the two applications for local railroad franchises sought by the corporation, is scheduled to be held in the committee room of the municipal board Monday afternoon, commencing at 2 o'clock. | General Manager Julius Kruttschnitt of | the Southern Pacific has signified his | intention of attending the meeting and. |as he is in a position to speak with | authority for the company, definite re- sults are expected. Although it has not | been so stated the discussion will prob- | ably be executive. The status of the matter of the local | franchises so far as the Southern Pacific | 18 concerned at present is this: Two | ordinances granting to that corporation | the trackage and transportation privi- | leges it wants, framed after and em- ;bodying the stipulations recommended by the Citizens' Advisory Committee of | fifty, have been introduced in the Board | of City Trustees. Copies of these or- | dinances are in the possession of the | management of the Southern Pacific. The concessions demanded in these documents in return for the franchises { will be taken up and considered separ- | ately at the conference Monday. It is | understood that the officials of the Southern Pacific are willing to grant most of them, but the stipulation re- | quiring the corporation to pay into the city treasury $500 a month for the priv- | ileges conveyed in the franchises is said to be the hurdle that the railroad | people refuse to take and on the settling | of this point much will depend. | —_———— | Will Beautify Streets. | OAKLAND, Aug. 30.—An improvement | club has been organized at Fruitvale for the main objgct of beautifying the streets and roads.

The Union Drug Store, 400 Sutter street, was looted some time during the early hours of yesterday morning. At midnight Saturday Dr. Searly locked up the store, at which time everything seemed safe and secure. On opening the store yesterday morning, however, it was discovered that the.till had been rifled of the sum of $19, while a small bank had been pried open and the contents ab- stracted. A further investigation revealed the fact that the thief had escaped through the back door, through which he could not have entered the store, as it has no lock or latcn on the outside. A further examination was made and it was evident that the front door had not been tampered with, which led the police o believe that the thief had hidden and was locked up in the store at the time it was closed for the night. ati i o i TN Lecture by a New Yorker. . Henry Frank of the Metropolitan In- dependent Liberal Soclety of New York delivered his second lecture in Golden Gate Hall yesterday morning. Mr. Frank's subject was “Self Discovery, or the Foun- tain of Eternal Life.” There was a large attendance and the lecturer was listened to with marked attention. Next Sunday morning he will again lecture in Golden Gate Hall, when his subject will be “The Christ of the Creed and the Creed of the Christ.” —_——————— An electrical type-setting machine will, says its inventor, revolutionize the mechanical work of a newspaper, 8, 1862. This was one of the earliest and most stubbornly contested battles of the great war. Two noted Confederate lead- ers, General McCulloch and General Mec- Intosh, were slain in that engagement. | General Shafter met many of his com- | rades in the Civil War and several veter-| ans of the late war. He was cordially greeted by the men. He promised to pay an official visit as department commander to the Grand Army post at the Home.

ALAMEDA, Aug. 30.—Lying in a quiet room at his home, 1911 Alameda avenue, | Arthur P. Peck, the young employe of | the Sunset Telephone who was attacked and brutally beaten by a quartet of thugs at First avenue and East Tweifth street, Oakland, last night, is not yet out danger. At times he is only semi-con- scious and the attending physician, Dr. C. George Bull, has ordered that no one but the nurses be allowed to enter his apartment, Peck is now said by the doc- tor to be in a more serious condition than he was last night, as the shock has seri- ously affected him. Peck's scalp is frightfully gashed to the skull in two places and the wounds appear as if they were caused by some jagged, blunt instrument. One of the openings is of such a nature that it can- not be drawn together and considerable of the skull is exposed. The patient is also suffering from many contusions of the body. Peck has not been able to give a coherent description of his assallants and no effort was made to-day to obtain that information from him. Mrs. Lizzie Peck, mother of the injured young man, is indignant at the fact that some of the passengers on the car from which Peck was dragged before being assaulted, did not go to his assistance. L. H. Ja- cobi of this city, manager of the Sux- set Telephone Company, is an uncle of Peck and he intends to leave nothing un- done that may result in the apprehension and prosecution of the thugs who at- tacked his nephew. The Oakland police are at work on the case. ——————————— An impression has been abroad for some years that Mme. Modjeska, the actress, has lost the large fortune she earned in this country.

Bears Brand of the Hatchery of Packers’ Association at Karluk —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 20.—A small fish | caught at Nome two weeks ago will serve | the purpose of helping to show what be- comes of the fish from the Alaskan hatcheries during the interim of five or seven years before they return to their native waters for spawning. The fish in question was a two and a half pound Dol- ly Vardey trout, caught at Nome by J. W. Charleton. It bore the brand of the hatchery of the Alaska Packers’ Associa- tion at Karluk, on tue southern coast of Alaska. Finding it in the Bering Sea is considered strong proof of the success of the salmon hatcheries on the Alaskan coast. It is generally supposed that when the fish leave the fresh water of the hatch- eries for the ocean they do not return for | five years. President Jordan of Stanford has proven that in many instances they do not return to their place of birth for seven years. Where the fish go in the mean- time still remains a mystery and the out- put of the hatcheries is now Leing gener- ally branded with the object of ascertain- ing where and when they may be cdught in any part of the world. Charleton's specimen has been preserved in alcohol and will be shipped to the Alaska Pack- ers’ Association at San Francisco. ————————— PITTSBURG WINS SUNDAY GAME AGAINST ST.
