Oakiand Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 23. With the death angel huvering over her bedside, Mrs. Ellen E. Pinkney became the wife yesterday afternoon of Arthur M. Sheakley, & manufacturer of Stock- ton, the pathetic union being solemnized by the Rev. Hrnest E. Baker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of alty. Afflicted with an which had almost run its course, the bride’s attendants were the gentle nurses who with kindly ministrations’ soothed and calmed the woman while the words were said that made her the wife of the man whose dcvotion was so touchingly exhibited It was at the residence of Dr. John T. Kitchings, corner of Eighth and Clay | streets, that this death-bec marriage was solemnized. Here the dying bride had a short time ago been taken that her last moments on earth might be peaceful and watched with utmost care. The bride and groom nad planned a much happier celebration of the nuptials. A year ago they had been engaged and the wedding was set. But before the time arrived Mrs. Pinkney was stricken with the fliness that has brought her to her deathbed. The groom prospective was called East on business and his fiancee was removed to the Fabiola Hos- pital, where she submitted to an operation for cancer. Afterward complications de- veloped which led the attending surgeon to become gravely alarmed. Dr. Kitch- ings, in charge, had the patient remcved to his residence after she had been ad- vised that recovery was hopeless. With much difficulty Mr. Sheakley was located by police efforts in Milwaukee. He was notified of Mrs. Pinkney's condi- fon and he hastened to Oakland, arriv- this week. that his betrothed could not long the unhappy man expressed the wed the woman of his choice jeath should separate them.

The two men were handed over to the police on the arrival of the boat on this side, when Nunan and Louibéck made the startling statement that Kriskl while visiting West Berkeley with them made a proposition to them to burn the house of his mother, Mrs. Bertha Weiffhand, living at Ellsworth and Park streets, East Berkeley. They say they | would not agree to be parties to the act, and admit that while walking along one of the streets they took & cents from | Kriski. The police held Kriski as a witness, and the two other men were detained and will be returned to Berkeley this morning. ——— Mapping Out New Road to Eureka. EUREKA, Oct. 23.—The grade stakes on the proposed route of the Southern Pacific Railroad to connect Eureka with San Francisco have been laid to Myers, about ten miles below Dyerville.

He was thrown into | the gutter by the powerful current and rendered unconscious for fifteen minutes. | Lionel Moreal, who went to the patrol- man’'s assistance and took hold of the wire with a pair of nippers, was also | shocked into insensibility, but suffered no | serious injury. Welch was badly burned | on the right hand and still feels the ef- fects of the death-dealing fluld that per- | meated his system. Bert Fitch, who has a real estate office at Bay station, discovered the charged wire across the pavement while on his way home.

Both the Spring | | Valley Water Company and the Bay Cit- fes Water Company have buyers in the field. Three options on lands were filed to-day in the Recorder’s office, by which John U. Smith, W. L. Garrett and Joseph | Fisher agree to sell 160 acres each at sums varying from $1500 to $2000 each. The options are secured in the names of George A. de Prez. The lands are located six miles east of Mount Hamilton, and are undoubtedly in connectfon with some plan to utilize the water of that section by one of the two | companies. The Spring Valley is securing rights to drain the watersheds into the big reservoir to be built in Calaveras Val- ley. In the southern end of the range the Bay Citles Company wants the waters for a reservoir at Coyote, and is digging a tunnel to drain the shed secured by the Spring Valley. A big legal battle is m- minent between the two companies. —_————— — Boodlers Swindle Church Trustees. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 23.—The First Presbyterian Church of this city, the wealthiest church in Oregon, was an inno- cent contributor to the ill-gotten gains of the gang of boodlers who flourished in the County Clerk’s office in 1901. The sum of $500 was paid out of the church treasury in supposed settlement of a mortgage tax amounting to a little more than $1000, and not a dollar of the money was received by the county. The payment was made by Wallace McCamant, one of the church trustees, to a deputy in the County Clerk’s office, and by means of fraudu- lent entries on the records the taxes were made to appear as canceled and the en- tire $500 was stolen. —————— Appoints Receiver for Match Co. TACOMA, Oct. 2.—Frank B. Cole of Tacoma was to-day appointed recelver of the Washington Match Company by Judge Hanford of the Federal Court in Session at Spokane. In a suit in Tacoma last week it appears the company had re- ceived $95,000 in cash subscriptions to the stock. It has a large building in this city, but has never made any matches here. Judge Snell declared, in giving judgment | pened. against the company, that its methods were reeking with fraud. —————————— Marriage Licenses. OAKLAND, Oct. 25.—The following licenses were issued by the County Clerk to-day: Frank A. Peters, 24, and Tillle C. Bernal, 23, both of Pleas- anton; Harold A. Miller, 28, and Barbara H.

The pa- trolman’s moist coat had acted as a di- rect conductor of the electricity that al- most ended his life. Lionel Moreal next tackled the wire, and followed Welch into dreamland. After recovering from the shock, however, he pluckily tried again, and, protected with gloves, succeeded in severing the line and removing the danger. Members of the police department are | provided with rubber gloves to use in handling live wires in cases of emergency, but Officer Welch did not have these safe- guards with him last night. oottt @ TRIES TO KILL WOMAN WHO SPURNED HIS LOVE Love-Stricken Resident of the Garden City Makes Murderous As- sault on a Woman. SAN JOSE, Oct. 2.—Because his love was spurned, J. M. Castro attempted to kil Mrs. R. H. Bernal at her house at 485 North Priest street this evening. Cas- tro called at Mrs. Bernal's home this evening and told her she must choose between his love and death. Castro then drew a large knife and threatened to kill her. He pursued her into the street, and, catching her, a struggle ensued. Deputies Shafter and Weinberg of the Sheriff's of- fice were passing and went to Mrs. Ber- nal's help. The woman was cut in the left hand and over the eye, and undoubt- edly would have been killed but for the arrival of the officers. Castro broke and ran when he saw the deputies, but was captured in Chinatown and taken to jail. Mrs. Bernal late this evening swore to a complaint charging Castro with assault to commit murder. —_———— Chinese Thugs Sentenced to Hang.

Former Minister of Fourth Congregational Church s the Defendant. S ST Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 23. Buit for divorce was begun to-day by Mrs. Minnie Bayley against the Rev. Al- fred Bayley, formerly pastor of the Fourth Congregational Church in this | city, on the grournd of desertion. At the | home of the Bayleys at 28 Twenty- fourth street everything is in confusion | and preparations are being made by Mrs. | Bayley to leave the premises. No one ' was there that could throw any light as | to the cause of the filing of the suit other | than that stated. g The Bayleys were married in this city | on July 1, 1896. Mrs. Baylvy was formerly Miss Minnie Henderson, her home being in Fruitvale. When Rev. Mr. Bayley re- signed from his church some time ago it ‘was announced that his health was poor | and that he needed a rest. It was stated | that he proposed to leave on a trip to| Burope. Prior to assuming the pastorate | of the Fourth Congregational Church he | had done missionary work for the Salva- tion Army in India. | Soon after he took charge of the pulpit he assisted In a movement to have the church, which was then at Thirty-fourth and Adeline streets, moved to its present site at Grove and Thirty-sixth streets, where a new church was erected. His resignation shortly afterward caused con- | siderable surprise, as it was expected | that, after moving Into the new neighbor- hyod he would wish to remain and see it established on a firm footing. Just what has caused the estrangement between the young minister and his wife is not made public. The attorney of rec- ord, in behalf of Mrs. Bayley, is Earl H. Webb, who has an office {n San Francisco. Rev. Mr. Bayley is a nephew of Mrs. ‘Wetherbee of Fruitvale. He is not en- | gaged In ministerial work at the present | time. PAYS 10 BUILD 600D DITCHES Professor Mead Sug- gests Way to Benefit Irrigation. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, | 2148 Center street, Oct. 23. | Professor Elwood Mead, director of ir-| rigation at the Unlversity of California, advises the farmers and fruit growers of { Callfornfa and the rest of the country to build irrigation ditches of the most | enduring materlal while they are at it. | In a serles of investigations he has been | engaged in he finds-that after all the most | economical irrigation structures are those | that cost the most at first. | Professor Mead's findings are embodied | in a report to the United States Depart- | ment of Agriculture, of which he is chief | of the bureau of irrigation Investigation. This was submitted under the title “Plans | of Structures in Use on Irrigaticn Canals | of the United States,” from drawings| exhibited by officlals of experiment sta- tions at Paris In 199 ana at Buffalo in 1901. ‘The drawings and the accompany- | ing notes as to the cost and durabllity and usefuiness of various types of irriga- tion works constructed in different parts of the arid regions for the last twenty years will be of much practical value to engineers and others interested in the construction of irrigation works, It is Professor Mead's coaclusion that irrigation structures of permanent ma- terial are less costly In the end than those of a more temporary character. In this | report he presents records of durability | of much value in determining wiether or | not the large use of wood as material in irrigation structures can wiselv be con- tinued under existing conditions. “There are certain facts,” says Profes- sor Mead, “which indicate that the use of timber in irrigation structures, which formerly prevailed, must in time give way to the use of more durable materials. Wooden structures were a conspleuous feature of earlier frrigation works be- cause timber was abundant and cheap. But for several years timber has been rising in price, while the cost of masoary has in many sectlons been greatly re- duced. It is now the belief of many en- gineers that when durability and expense of repairs are taken into account perma- nent structures are the most economical. The information here given seems to show that ten years Is apparently as long as wooden structures can be relied upon, al- though some of those f{llustrated here! have been in use for twice that period. It is hoped that these records of service will ald engineers in making plans for the works to be built in the sra of rapid development upon which we appear now to be entering.” Among the irrigation structures illus- trated by detalled drawings and data as to material and cost are headgates of | canals, waste and regulating gates, a | rating flume, waste ways, outlet gates, flumes, lifting apparatus for headgates and aqueducts, a welr for measuring water and the dam of the Bear Rlver canal, Utah. ——————————— Delivers Lecture on Eastern Problem.

Miss Hammond retained her pres- ence of mind, and with all her strength | pulled up the scared horse after it had traversed half the block. Hamada was rescued from under the surrey and con- veyed to a drug store. He was found to fractured. His wheel was demolished. ————— GENERAL LAND OFFICE MODIFIES RECENT RULING | EUREKA, Oct. 23.—The ruling of the| United States Land Office, which caused 80 much indignation among the citizens of this county and called forth strenuous protests from them, has been modified by the Commissioner of the General Land Office. Under the objectionable ruling no one who could not show that he had per- sonal use for the lumber growing on the | land applied for under tne timber and stone act was entitled to a patent. The person who bought Government land at $2 50 per acre with the idea of selling it again at some indefinite time in the future was excluded from the benefits of the act. | A letter from Commissioner Richards to Special Agent Wade, now stationed at | the Humboldt land office, contains the modification, which has brought joy to| entryman, locator and capitalist alike. | The language of the Commussioner is as | follows: “If there is nothing more to impeach the good faith of the entryman under the | timber and stone law other than the mere | fact that he has made the entry as an| investment, with the intent to sell the | land at some indefinite time in the future, | and in this manner realize a profit on | the money invested, such an entry is not in violation of law.” | e SCHOONER BREAKING UP, CARGO AND MAILS LOST | | NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—The following | cablegram was received to-day by Gen- eral Manager George Ward of the Com- mercial Cable Company from the super- intendent of the station at Midway Isl- | and: MIDWAY," Oct. 23.—Schooner struck on | north reef about two o'clock this morning strong northeast wind blowing.
