The Oakland Tragedy.
PUBLIC SENTIMEST.
Oaki-ASI), July 28'.h.— Public sentiment,
so tar as expressed, is decidjdly on the side
of Lffevre. Still thera is great sympathy
felt for Schroder, whose ravh act ia attribut
able to excessive excitement caused by the
terrible disclosure of his wife of her dishonor.
Laboring under intense mental excitement,
he did not stop to cooly weigh matters, but
hastened to execute vengeance. His act is
not'justified, but is looked upon leniently and
as nut unreasonable.
[SECOXD DISPATCH.]
rt'KERAL OF THK VICTIM.
Oaklasd July 28th.— The funeral of Dr.
Lefevre took place this afternoon from St.
John's Church, which was so densely
crowded that many were unable to enter and
lingered in the churubyard watching the
cortege.
[THIRD PISPATCH.]
PRELIMINARY tXAMINATIOJf.
Oakland, July 28t.h.— At 10 o'clock this
morning the case of E. F. Schroder, charged
with the murder of Dr. Lefevre, waa called
in the O»klaud Police Court, Judge Yule
presiding, f ->* preliminary examination. The
prisoner entered the Court- room accompanied
by his attorneys, W. W. Foote, A. A.
Cohen and Carroll Cook. Rev. Dr. Steh
biua, the father-in-law of the accused,
entered and aat with the c mnsel. The people
were represented by District Attorney E. M.
Gibson and Assistant District Attorney S.
P. Hall. The Courtroom was crowded to the
doors with interested spectators and auditors
of the bcene. The prisoner sat next to Dr.
Stebbins, wearing that calm and sadly
thonghtf ul demeanor he has maintained since
the tragedy.
TESTIMONY OF XRS. KEENLY.
Mrs. Leontine Keener, the lady who occu
pied the dental chair at the time of the
shooting, wa» c died. She testified that she
lived in San Francisco, but was in Oakland
at Dr. Lefevre's office on Monday. She was
there when the shooting took place. Dr.
1,-fevr<* left the room, and but a moment
«lapsed before she was startled by ihe report
of a pistol. She jumped from the chair and
turned in time to see the Doctor come into
the room and then fall to the floor. A m»n
followed him iv and fired a second e hot She
heard no conversation in the adjoining room
when tbe Doctor was in there. No one called
Dr. Lefevre out of the operating room. The
witness supposed that he bad gone into the
adjoining room to procure an instrument to
place gfUfl in a filling. The Doctor had been
in the adjoining roeoi scarcely a moment be
fore witness beard the shot. She heard in:
conversation whatever in the adjoining
room. The door between the two was closed,
but she thought not tightly. The man who
fired the shot was abuut ten feet away from
the Doctor when the second shot was fired.
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
The examination was concluded and the
croHS-;xamiuation began. When the Doctor
went out the mother of witness, Mrs. Spotts,
and Mi-n Agnew remained in the room. She
did not hear the door close as the Doctor
went out, and fihe xuppofeed, therefore, that
it was not tightly clowd. S!ie did not know
who oyened the diKir when the Doctor re
turned. She was not perfectly certain ci m
cerning tbe time which elapued between the
time that the Doctor left the room and when
he returned, but thought it was about a min
ute. But it might have been three or four.
She supposed that the Doctor had gone out
for an instrument. But he had not paid bo.
He said nothing before leaving the room.
Had there been loud talking in the adjoining
room witness thought she cnulil have heard
it. Witness had been to the office often. She
was spending the Hummer at Tubbs Hotel.
Upon being asked if she was friendly with
Dr. Lefevre, she replied that she kntw him
as her dentist, that wait all.
FURTHER TESTIMONT— RECESS.
Mrs. Jane Spotts was called. She testified
that she wan a resident of San Frai-.cisco, and
was at Dr. Lefevre'a office on Monday after
noon. Her statement of the case was similar
to that of the two preceding witnesses. She
heard no conversation in the adjoining room
when the Di.ctor was there. She heard no
one call him into the next room. She did not
know if the door between the rooms was
closed bffore the Doctor went out or not.
But she heard no pound of any one coming in,
and, therefore, cuppones it nmut have been
closed when the Duotor went out. She heard
no tound of a closing door, and imagined
from that that the door was not tightly
closed. Ju t before Dr. I/efevre left the
room he hid chip|>ed a piece of tooth from
Mrs. Keen ■>'« m"iiih and was required to
take out a little gold that had been placed in
the cavity. She cuppmed he had gone to get
an instrument, but knew nothing about it.
She thought the D>ctor had been out of the
room about a minute when she heard the fiist
Dr. W. E. Brook r testified that the door
through which the Doctor came in after be
ing shot opened fiom the operating-room, so
that it would have to be pulled open before
he could enter.
The Court then took a recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon officer J. S. Fields was
placed on the stan'i. He told the story of
the arrent as he did at the inquest. He said
that| when Schroder and his wife and child
arrived at the prison, Schroder told) his wife
to go home and take care of the children. She
replied: "Remember, if I go home that
this is the last time you see me alive." He
told her not to cay that. She repeated the
statement iwice again.
Dr. E. W. Buck took the stand, and testi
fied to the wounds of Dr. Lefevre, and to the
autopsy which he conducted.
Dr. Selfridye testified to having extracted
the bullet from the body of the deceased, and
identified the bullet in the care of the Clerk
as the one he had taken out.
Keilcf for the Caraways— Quick Work at
the Siuvy lard.
Vallejo, July 28th.— The Ncvm of this
afternoon says: Last evening, in accordance
with a request from J. W. Grace & Co. of
San Francisco, for a vessel to proceed' to the
rescue of the. castaways on Socorro Island,
Secretary Thompson ordered the Freda to be
got tun ready at once and dispatched : The
following answer w.-w sent to the applicants :
• : .Usitkd Statks Navy Yard, ; 'l\
1&. V '.. ■ Mauk I.SLAXD, July 27, 1380. I; ■
Tour lo'.l cr has been hauded to me by Mr. Sleeves,
maie of the Mathilda. I have ordered a vessel to
be immediately made ready, and she will sail to
morrow fur ttocorro iv search of the hist portion of
the crew of the Mathilda. She v one of the fastest
achjouere in the navy, and , will reach there in a
week or ten days." ' SSUjcyus goes with her. '"I will
write you to morrow. B. THOMPSON, :•..•
:.i ■i.-i--<i'%--i \\yi i i Secretary of the Navy. .»
■ As soon as the above telegram had' been
seat the Freda . was hauled ] in front of the
storehouse alongside of the quay wharf, and a
can :f . of ; men j placed •on board of her, with
orders to take oil the old rigjinj and replace
it with now. f Another gang of men were de
tailed to store profusions aboard of the little
craft, end orders were sent to Re.ir- Admiral
Hodge; s to detail offcers and a crew ; for her.
The ;■■ work was « carried ~ on ; ; most 'of r the
night,' ; and - this : morning at -j 10 ; o'clock
the yccht j • was " placed . , in - ; commission
by Captain* P. C. Johnson, and the follow
in;; officers and V crew ' placed sin charge :
Lieutenant i Isaac J. Yates, Commander ;
Ensign, Alexander Sharp ; | midshipman, \ H.
Tayror : passed assistant surgeon, C. H. H.
Ha!L \— George i Staves, ;. the ; mate :of J the
wrecked ship, will also accompany the vessel,
besides ei^'ht seal: en and j a ■ Chinaman for
cook. The 3 vessel ! is I supplied with thirty
days' provisions, 1,200 gallons of titter, spare
riggings \ and !a j lifeboat ? and \ dinghy. The
Secretary of ; the Navy, Congressman Berry,
Rear- Admiral y Rodgers, 'i Commodore I Cai
houn, Captain Johnson and other ' officers of
high rank, g*va their special attention to the
fitting out of | the craft. At 12 o'clock pre
cisely the was reported to the | Secretary, of
the Xavy as being in complete order and
ready for sea. The Secretary bid the party
God- speed, and shook bands with all. The
little craft started on her mission of mercy,
towed by the tug Monterey, amid the cheers
of the crew of the Pensacola, the playing of
the band and blowing of whistles by tbe tugs
in the harbor.
In conversation with a Noes representative,
the Secretary desired special mention made
of the fact that it was a new feature in the
Navy Department, to be able to fit out one of
the crafts in less than twenty hours, to go on
an expedition of this kind. He is confident
that the Freda will make the trip in seven or
eight days. Lieutenant Yates will call in at
Mazatlan, od his way down to ihe island, to
learn if possible anything appertaining to the
ship-wrecked people. Five hundred dollars
in gold is carried to be used in case the vessel
runs ehort of provisions, water, etc. The
mate of the lost ship, Mr. Steeves, is confi
dent that the people will be found on the
island. The Freda will be towed out a? far
as the Heads by the Monterey, she only stop
ping at San Francisco long enough for Mr.
bteeves to have his clothing sent on board.
While the Freda was being fitted out a
telegram was received from San Francieco,
stating that the English yacht Lancashire
Witch would be sent down in a day or two,
but now that the Freda has started she will
probably not go.

question heretofore propounded thnt a Great

Representative Grove L. Johnson, from

ing a fund for the support of aged and infirm
members of the Order at the present session.
He also made the following report : " Your
committee to whom was referred the query as
to representative* from Tahoe Degree Council,
report the same back, with the following an
swer : That under Article 1 of the By-laws
of the Great Council, a beneficial degree
council is entitled to one representative in
the G. C. ; that w« are informed by the mem
ber* of the said Tahoe Degree Council that
said Council w a beneficial degree council ;
hence Tahoe Degree Council would be en
titled to a representative in this G. C. But
Section 1, Article 23, of the By-laws of this
G. C. provides that a degree council, whethei
beneficial or otherwise, must make certain
reporU therein described to the G. C. Hence
it U thß duty of the said decree council
to make such reports to the Grand
Council. We ' fiud that said degree
Council has never made the reports required
by law ; hence he claimed that unless they
comply in this respect they be denied in the

Tile Mare lslnml Knvjr Yard and Itac
K.liri- Uueolinn.
Valijwo, July 28th.— A Niwa representa
tive vuited the navy yard this morning, for
the purpose of ascertaining the views of Con
structor Eanley and Secretary Thompson
regarding the navy yard and their future
plans. Secretary Thompson, when avked
regarding his views of the navy yard, the
debris question, etc., replied that personal
observation of Mare Island and it 3 surround
ings had convinced him that he was in srror
a!i.u:* » at had produced th« shoaling of any
of the waters fronting on the navy yard. He
had been led to believe that the shoaling was
occasioned by the washings from the mines ;
but since he has been here he had atcertained
that the shoaling was more from agricultural
deposits, if any. While he is here he should
spend conside»able time in » boat, and have
soundings made, and ascertain the quijity of
the sediment at the bottom of the river, etc.
If required, he wonkl recommend that a line
of piles be extended as far down as the maga
zine, and if found necessary the removal of
the coal wharf, which would be the means of
causing a clear channel. He was fully satis
fied that this was a proper place for the es
tablishrmeßt of a fiist-class navy yard — a
thing very desirable on this coast for the
United States— and that he felt it hia
duty *o lend his infl'ienca to that end. He
considered the harbor as being unsurpassed
in the United States ; that it was thoroughly
protected from the invasion of an enemy or
the ravages of a storm. It would be an ut
ter absurdity for anyone to think that the
yard would be moved from this point, which
fact might as well be settled now as ever.
Ha would go back to Washington and ask far
a liberal appropriation for the yard and the
completion of the Mohican, as well as other
works. He would also recommend addi
tional improvements about the yard. His
visit will be long enough to obtain a full
knowledge of every little detail. The matter of
the stone dock was not touched^ upon during
theconversatioii. Constructor Easley express
ed himself as highly pleased with the general
appearance of the navy yard, and at the
manner in which work was performed. It is
his intention to have the Monongahela and
Tuscarora placed in complete repair as soon
t possible. He will recommend the com
inn of the iron-plating 3hop. A careful
lection was reade of the new Monadnock,
all of the ships in " Rotton Row." The
istructor expressed himself as agreeably
ippointed in the appearance of the harbor,
pronounces it one of the finest in the

she took dinner with her father at Campbell's
house. Afterwards he asked her to go with

he took her out on the Alameda and to an
unoccupied house, and there, under threats to

Terrible Tr:i;i ilj ~l lie F.i'.Won l.ishl.
Pobtland, July 28th. — The following ad
ditional particulars of the terrible tracedy
which took place at Mohawk Vplley, Lane
county, on Monday are received. It seem-<
that John Cartwright and a German named
Mendo had a dispute about the ownership of
a piece of meadow. Ciirtwrij;ht appeared in
the field and began a dispute about the pos
session of the property. Mendo, who was
mowing, told Cartwright to go away or he
would cut off his head with his scythe. Cart
wright, who was armed with a double-barreled
shotgun, fired two shots at Mendo but missed
him. Cartwright then repaired to a house
near by and obtained another gun, loaded
with buckshot, and came up within about
fifteen paces of where Mendo stood. Mendo,
who was then working the hay, stopped work,
and etickin? the fork in the ground and rest
ing on the handle, asked Cartwright, "Well,
what are you going to do about it ? You
have fired two shots at me, but missed me."
Cartwright responded, " I'll show you what I
will do," and instantly leveled his gun and
shot Mendo. Part of the charge almost cut
the fork handle in two. The other portion
entered Men Jo's bowels, cutting them open
and killing him instantly. Cartwright is in
Mr. Henderson, Chief Engineer of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's Steamships, authorizes the following
statement in regard to the Edison electric
light, as employed on the steamer Columbia
on her passage from New York to Portland :
Tne light as applied in the saloons and state
roomß gave perfect satiafaction, and came up
to all expectations. The'exhibitions made at
Rio Janeiro and Valparaiso attracted much
public notice. At sea, in all kinds of weather,
the vibrations, jars and general working of
I the steamship did not interfere with its oper
ation, and in fact made no impression upon
the light. When required, the simple open
ing of the steam-valve is all that is necessary
to li^n l up the ship instantly, and the ordi
nary skill of an enitine-room ia i«erfectly suf
ficient to keep the lights in running order.
The breakage of a light was due entirely to a
want of practice in handling. The utility of
the light for the examination of propellors,
rudders, dock gates or other submarine work,
is invaluable.
