Nothing was said about yesterday's ensational charges when the case of Sam” Fisher, the West Berkeley sa- charged with disturbing Newton, was re- sumed this morning in Justice Edgar's court. This silence as to the accusa- tions of Philip M. Walsh, the Deputy District Attorney, that Fisher at- tempted to bribe Deputy Marshal Pickett, leaves it to be inferred that Justice Edgar does not intend to take any further steps in the matter. But it is understood that the District At- torney’s office will call it to the atten- tion of the Grand Jury. Mr. Walsh said to-day that the epi- sode had not been @ropped, which is taken to mean that something else is in the air. There is, however, only the unsupported evidence of Walsh that there was bribery attempted, and he is not willing to swear that Pickett took the money he says Fisher tendered, so slim. Another controversy was indulged in between the opposing counsel in the case this morning. It was precipitated by Walsh’s request to reopen the ex- amination of C. B. Gage, who had al- ready been accepted as a juror. The ground for the request was the alleged bias of the juror. After a squabble that occupied most of the morning ses- sion the attorneys compromised by per- mitting Walsh to excuse Gage on a peremptory challenge. Ten jurors have morrow.

It was half a century ago that the di- vine landed upon these then unsettled shores and the churches of Oakland decided that to-night they would hold services that would do honor to that event. The Right Rev. Bishop Nich- ols was present and delivered the ad- dress of the evening, while the various Oakland rectors participated in the services, Those who took part were Rev. C. T. Walkley of St. Paul's Church, Rev. Edgar F. Gee of St John's Church, Rev. Clifton Macon of Trinity Church, Rev. William Carson Shaw of the Church of the Advent, Rev. James Hulme of St. Paul's Church and Rev. O. Scott of St. An- dre Church. Bishop Nichols delivered the ad- dress of the evening from the topic, ““The Call of Bishop Kip to California and the Field that He Found Here.” During his address Bishop Nichols said: “The thoughts of Bishop Kip, then the Rev. Mr. Kip, were first turned to California through the correspond- ence of Mr. Augustine W. Hale, a brother-in-law of Mr. Kip's family physician. In the meanfime a call to California had been extended to an- other clergyman in the East, who was hesitating as to whether or not he would accept. While discussing this call at the home of his physician one day Mr. Kip was asked by the doc- tor's wife, ‘Why don’t you go to Cali- fornia?’ and he said that should a call be extended to him he would accept. CALLED TO WEST. “Strangely enough shortly after- ward he did receive a call to the rec- torship ‘of Trinity Church in Francisco, which he determined to ac- cept. Immediately afterward he re- ceived a call from St. Peter’s Church in Baltimore. He went to Baltimore and called upon the Bishop of that diocese, to whom he told his deter- mination to go to California. The Bishop said: ‘I have it. You should go, not as the Rector of Trinity Church, but as the Bishop of Califor- nia,” and at the general convention at New York in 1853 Mr. Kip was nomi- nated and elected Bishop of Califor- nia. “After an eventful voyage down the Atlantic ccast he crossed the isthmus of Panama and took the steamer Gold- en Gate for San Francisco. He reached San Diego after the wreck of the Gold- en Gate, and taking another steamer he reached San Francisco on Sunday, January 29, and was met at the land- ing by Augustine W. Hale and a Mr. Thompson and was taken to the home of the latter, and less than three hours after leaving the ship he con- ducted his™ first Sunday morning ser- vice at Trinity Church, then situated where the Pine-street market now stands. %5 FOUND VIRGIN FIELDS. “Had he come to the spot where this church now stands, the Bishop would have found a veritable field populated only with the oaks from “which this city takes its name. Some time before the arrival of the Bishop in ‘Fran- cisco some misunderstanding, regard- ing which 1 will not go into details, had resulted in the bulldln( of Grace Church, and, strange as it may seem now, it was erected on the opposite | corner from Trinity Church, on the cor- San | <+ £ - =) [ EPISCOPAL MINISTERS WHO ATTENDED ANNIVERSARY OF BISHOP KIP'S COMING. s = . g ner of Powell and Jackson streets, and these two churches, with the church on Pine street where the market now stands, were practically all there was to the diccese. “Regarding the conditions which con- fronted the Bishop on his arrival in San Francisco, the statement of a member of Trinity Church just about tells the story. He said to Bishop Kip in speaking of Grace Church: ‘There are twenty people inside of Grace Church and a Sheriff on the outside.’” | Bishop Nichols then read a letter from Mr. Thcmpson, one of the men who met Bishop Kip on his arrival in | San Francisco, telling of the early his- | tory of Trinity Church and the work of the Bighop in building up the dio- cese, and closed his address with a warm and sincere tribute to the dead divine for his work for the church. —_——————— ND BOARD OF TRADE TO VISIT LOS ANGELES OAKL Special Excursion Arranged for Oak- landers Who Want to Inspect Southland Methods.

Miss Anna Whit- ney of Honolulu was also in pink, a soft, fluffy mulle that was very becoming to her blonde, piquant beauty.

Mrs. Eugene Van Court wore black silk, brightened with pale blue velvet.

Williams, the Misses Ryder of San Francisco, Lottle Champ, the Misses Paul, Miss Loulse Hager, Miss Selma Brink, Miss Alma Kranz, Miss Edna Kranz, Miss Sessie Smith and others.

At the conclusion of an elaborate supper the guests repaired to the general assembly room, where an impromptu programme of music, recitations and dancing was greatly enjoyed by every cne. Considerable merriment was created by Mrs. McHugh, who recited “The Bachelors' Sale'’ very cleverly. transposing some of the words to make them fit the lodge's only bachelor. Mrs, McHugh's little daughter also recited an amusing poem. ‘The grcom's paren Mr. and Mrs. C.

The Unitarian Church was not even well filled last night on the occasion of Mme, Caro Roma’s concert and more's the pity, for an excellent programme had been prepared. Mrs, Wallace Wheaton Briggs, who sang Mme, Roma’'s song cycle, ‘‘The Wandering One, ' was formerly Miss Lottie Clough of Oakland. Harry L.

B. Tappan, as Funke's body was | about to be consigned to the flames at the Oakland Crematory. connected with the final disposition of | the body of the deceased had been per- | fected by him when he realized that his hours were numbered. He stipu- lated who should officiate as pallbear- ers and mourners, and arranged that every hack driver should receive a package of tobacco, two cigars and a | silver dollar. In compliance with an- other wish of the dead philosopher, the mourners assembled in Oakland after the incineration and partook of a din- ner, one vacant chair and an empty | glass being stationed at the head of | the table. The only toast offered was | to the departed. In the course of the eulogy Judge Tappan said: “Having met my friend Mr. Bruno K. Funke, almost daily fc many years, I am in a position to say that he was an intellectual man and a loving son. ‘' He desired to live, as he told me a few days ago, for just five vears more, not for his own but for his mother’s sake. In his dealings with his clients and customers he w. straightforward and honest and never exacted a cent more than his contracts called_for. When they desired his money in urgent cases all that he asked of them was that they live up to their | contract. He had a keen mind that | was constantly in action digesting the writings of the masters. During the last of his life he discussed religious matters and studied the Bible constant- | ly. He never urged any one to accept | his belief. He said he could not ac- | cept the Bible as the word of God and | have an orthodex minister speak of the immortality of his soul after he had | passed out. He asserted that he couid not embrace a religion that was not | in touch with reason. He could not believe that it was necessary that a whale should swim along in the water and swallow Jonah; because he consid- ered that an all wise Providence could attain the desired results with means less absurd.” ; His epitaph was another matter that Philosopher Funke did not overlook. He expressed to his friends that the common phrase, “Gone to rest,” was objectionable to him, and he wanted his epitaph to read, “Gone with the rest.” ——————————— WANTS COMMITTEE TO BE NAMED BY THE COUNCIL President Dornin Thinks His Fellow- Members Should Take a Hand in the Selection.
