ALL THE LATEST HAPPENINGS OF A DAY IN ALAMEDA COUNTY Why Mayor Davie Is Ab sent From the Po lice Board. WANTED TOO MUCH PIE. Populist Lloyd Succeeds Chief of Police Schaffer To- Morrow. NO FIRE CHIEF PROGRAMMED. An Attempt to Remove First Assist ant Miles Doody Falls. Charles E. Lloyd, the newly appointed Chief of Police, will take office to-morrow, and it is not probable that Chief Schaffer will make any contest for his position. Regarding the appointments of Chief of Police and Superintendent of Streets, some facts have been given out which contrast very strongly with Mayor Davie's boasted loyalty to the People's party. The ap pointment of Populists to the offices men tioned is due to tne efforts of Commis sioner Peirsol. When the changes in the head of the department were first mooted, a secret meeting of the heads of the People's party ■was called and Mr. Peirsol was invited to attend. The patronage at the disposal of the Board of Works was freely discussed and some changes were decided upon. The Mayor, who owed his election in some de gree to the support of the Police Depart ment, said that if a Populist could not be found io make a good Chief of Police he would like to see a good Republican re tained in office. He made the same re mark regarding the Street Department. Commissioner Peirsol. however, refused to be drawn into the net, and thought there must surely be good Populists to fill all important positions. It is due to him that Lloyd and Miller were appointed, and in both instances the Mayor opposed their election. Commissioners Peirsol and Wilson re cently discovered that the Mayor was at tempting to form an alliance with each, agreeing to vote with each in support of their respective candidate, and by this sys tem of reciprocity he would be practically commanding all the patronage. But this was found out and at the last three meet ings ot the board sitting as Police and Fire Commissioners, Mayor Davie has been ab sent and Wilson and Peirsol have met and done all the business. There are forty ex tra men in the Fire Department, and be cause the two Commissioners would not follow the Mayor's advice and appoint Populists at once the breach is still wider. The only head of department that is not changed is that of the Fire Department. "We have not yet decided upon a man for the place," said Commissioner Peirsol last night, "and all rumors are without foundation, although one of them might prove to be true. I have been told that I the Mayor offered the position to Fred A. I Campbell, but this may not be true. Mr. f Wilson is a Republican, and was nomi nated by the People's party and indorsed by the Republicans, and under these con ditions I feel justified in not considering myself bound by party lines." The Mayor surprised the Commissioner yesterday afternoon by appearing at the meeting of the Fire Commissioners and of fering a resolution to declare the office of First Assistant Doody vacant. Mr. Peirsol excused himself from voting, Wilson voted no, and the Mayor's resolution was killed. ' THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL WILLING. Possible Quo Warranto Proceedings in the Board of Health Trouble. Dr. J. M. Selfridge, one of the physi cians contesting for a place on the City Board of Health, stated yesterday that At torney-General Fitzgerald had indicated his willingness to issue quo warranto pro ceedings in reference to the controversy as soon as a proper showing was made to him. T. C. Huxley, attorney for Dr. Sel fridge, is now drawing up the papers in the suit. Similar papers will be filed on behalf of Dr. Bradley, the other contestant. Dr-. Shueyand Beckwith were appointed to the board* by Mayor Davie. Afterwards the Mayor declared that they were not eligible to hold the positions and removed them from office, appointing the two con testing doctors to their places. Drs. Shuey and Beckwith, however, declared that the Mayor had no right to make summary re movals, and they were recognized by the ether members of the board. DEATH OF PETER BARRINGER. An Octogenarian Who Took Part in the Water-Front Trouble*. Peter H. Barringer, one of the historic characters connected with the Oakland water-front troubles, died yesterday morn ing in the Receiving Hospital. Bar ringer, though nearly 90 years of age, was not inactive in the struggles which were waged with the Water-Front Company. j He was tenant in common with J. P. j Dameron, V. L. Fortin and others on the | disputed prooerty at the foot of Castro ! street. He had a little hut there in which ' {he lived alone. He supported himself by gathering driftwood on the beach and sell- , ing it. " , ; ! The old man was a part and parcel | of the exciting scenes at the foot of i Castro street during the months of; June and July of 1893. The j : Every One's Feet; I; Should be covered! ! ; with comfortable, easy- ! ! ; fitting, pliable shoes. ; ! ! ; They cost but little more ; ! ! ; than poorly made, tack- ; ! ! ; filled, hard-soled, ma- ; ! i; chine shoes.

Fortin, Barringer and Kendall and other claimants decided to enter an em phatic protest and did so by driving carts loaded with stones directly across the path of the oncoming fence-buildeis. Then an injunction was received from the courts, but; by that time the Water-Front Com pany had its wire barricade nigh to com pletion. Barringer did not stay with the original claimants during the subsequent litigation. He accepted C. B. Taylor, the Water- Front Company's man, as his overlord and acknowledged himself to be his tenant. After this his cabin was removed to an other section of the land. Mr. Barringer leaves a grandniece, Mrs. Edward Forsyth of San Francisco. Christian Endeavorers.

The union will meet on the fourth Mon day.of each month, Dalton Is Considering. Nothing has been done by Assessor Dal ton in regard to attacking the validity of the extension of time granted to the Ala meda Board by the State Board of Equali zation. "I am looking into the matter so as to be sure of my position," said the Assessor last night, "and if I am advised that the extension was not legal, why, then. I shall be heard from. I am satisfied that the proceedings were irregular, but it would, perhaps, be a matter of difficulty to estab lish my position in court. I shall probably decide to-morrow." HISTORY OF A DAY.

LATEST OAKLAND NEWS A Funeral Delays the Sheriff From Attaching a Hearse. . Ex-Mayor Davis Makes an Im portant Purchase of Real Estate. Turnbull & Co. of New York yesterday, j through Attorney Fred L. Button, at ' tached the hearse used by James Taylor & ' Co., undertakers. Taylor & Co. had a i funeral on hand in the afternoon, and to ' avoid the danger of attaching the corpse as well as the coffin, which was more than i the writ called for, the Sheriff's deputies j did not seize the hearse, which is described as one with "patent draperies," until it \ | had returned to the stables.

PETITION FOR GOOD ROADS The Association Explains How Oakland's Highways Can Be Improved. Every Citizen Is Asked to Aid In Furthering the Good Work. The Good Roads Association of Alameda County issued the following appeal yester day afternoon. It has been sent all over the county: Office of Good Roads Association of Ala-) jieda County, - > Oakland, Cal., July 29.) In natural advantages Oakland is peculiarly favored as a place of residence. Located within easy access of the metropolis of the Pacific Coast, with a more genial climate than can be found elsewhere without undertaking along journey, with gently rising foothills that offer building sites unsurpassed for tcenery, and make possible the construction of the most beautiful drives of any place in the world, with soil and climate that will produce all the flowers and fruits of the semi-tropical coun tries besides those of colder climates— with such natural advantages Oakland's advance in prosperity should be extremely rapid. There Is but one thing that has retarded this progress in recent years. The streets are almost without exception in very bad condi tion. The class of people that can afford subur ban residences, and the class that is most de sirable as a part of the population of a resi dence city, is much given to riding and driv ing, and, over the greater part of the streets of Oakland, this cannot be indulged in with pleasure. There is not an approach to the city, from whichever direction one may come, .that is well paved. This condition has not always existed, and it can be remedied. Many residents will remem ber the condition of the streets and drives about Oakland fifteen or twenty years ago. and how many people were attracted here, either as temporary sojourners or as permanent resi dents, by these streets and drives. It was a realization of these changes that have taken place and of the fact that the defects may be remedied that led to the formation of the Good Roads Association of Alameda County. The work that has been done by the associa tion proves that the necessity for its organiza tion was even greater than had been supposed. The present City officials have shown a willing ness, and even an eagerness, to carry out the wishes of the association, but difficulty after difficulty has been encountered, and a less enthusiastic body might be discouraged by the magnitude of the work to be done. Street matters have been allowed to drift along until they are in a hopeless tangle, and much time and labor will be required to straighten them out. The association, in stating these facts, deßires to cast no blame upon any person who has had control in the past. Human nature being as it is, no man, public official or other, will do more work than he is required to do for any length of time. If blame attaches anywhere it is to the citizens who have allowed public affairs to drift Into their present condition. By the organization of this association an opportunity is offered every citizen to assist in the work. It has been formed with the public spirited purpose of assisting the community, and it calls upon the community to assist it. Every person who has the prosperity of the City at heart should become a member, and, at least, assist with his voice and by payment of the annual dues of $1 a year. It is manifestly impossible for an association such as this, where all work is voluntary, and extensive calls are already made upon the time of the officers, to call upon all sympathizers person ally and solicit their support. LATEST BERKELEY NEWS An Old School Warrant Turns Up Mysteriously and Causes Trouble. Teachers for the Coming Year Assigned— Eugene Warnick Thought to Be Lost. . A long lost school warrant, dated Octo ber 6, 1891, numbered 541. calling for $65 and drawn in favor of Mrs. Kennedy, a former teacher in the Berkeley schools, is causing considerable comment among the members of the State board. The docu ment was received a few days ago by Prin cipal Waterman, from Mrs. Kennedy, who said she had found it in an old purse. She claimed never to have received the money which the warrant calls for, but admitted that she acknowledged receiving all that was due her from the board. Clerk Hanscom says that in the old treasury hook entry of the payment of the warrant was made in lead pencil, while all other entries on the page were in ink. In the footings the • lead-pencil entry ap i peared as paid, but on the side check marks j were made of all the other entries save this one. Clerk Hanscom has looked over the check books in use at the time of the issue of the warrant, but has thus far been un able to find any record of the one held by Mrs. Kennedy. It is expected that Thomas Harm, who was Treasurer at the time the warrant is dated, will be able to throw some light on the subject upon his return from the country. Teachers Are Assigned. At a meeting of the Board of School Directors, held last evening, teachers were assigned to the various schools, as follows : Kellogg School— E. Wilson, Rose M. Dobbins, Eleanor M. Smith, Olive Harper, Janet Barrows. Anna Graser, Sarah T. French and L. L. Shaw. Whittiei— Juliet M. Lombard, Nellie M. Norman, Lida Coddington, Olive Squires, Edith Sprague and Amy C. Cotrel.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA. Judge Frick Authorizes a Com promise in the Campbell Estate. Charles Raymond to Be Examined for Burglary— The Schools Open To-Morrow. The Public Administrator, who had charge of the J. A. Campbell estate, has been authorized by Judge Frick to com promise with Mrs. Samuel Speddy. In 1893 Campbell lived with the Speddy family at 924 Santa Clara avenue. During the year he died, when it was found that Mrs. Speddy had possession of his bank book. She stated that Campbell asked her to accept it as a present. The heirs of Camp bell in the East objected and Samuel Speddy went East to effect a compromise, but the heirs refused to come to any terms, and had James Stanley, who was Public Ad ministrator at the time, appointed ad ministrator of tbe estate. , Mr. Stanley succeeded in tying the money up in bank so Mrs. Speddy could not draw it, when she commenced suit to recover. The case has been pending for a long time and the estate will be distributed. A Heavy Mortgage Recorded. Theodore Meetz, the pioneer street rail road man of this city and a large property owner, has placed a heavy mortgage on a portion of his realty. The German Savings and Loan Society of San Francisco filed the record yesterday with the County Recorder in favor of itself for the sum of $18,000, cov ering fifteen pieces of land belonging to Meetz. The document is one of the longest ever placed on record in Alameda County. It is from eight to ten feet long . and em braces a minute description of each of the fifteen pieces covered by the mortgage. Raymond Identified. * Charles Raymond will be examined for burglary this morning by Justice Morris. The charge is for having entered the prem ises of W. G. Painter of 2153 Pacific avenue and stealing tools. A dozen people have called at the police station and identified Raymond as the individual who borrowed one or another tool and failed to return it. James Cleary, a nurseryman of Oakland, is one of the parties from whom Raymond borrowed a spade last Wednesday. Schools Open To-Jlorrow. The public schools will reopen to-morrow after the summer vacation, and not on Monday, as many thought. The subdi visions of school districts will remain as they were last year, except that the divid ing line between the Porter and Haight districts will be changed to follow the cen ter lineof Willow street from the estuary to the bay. — - < • Joy's tor the Jaded ana Good Health lor all Mankind* JOY'S VEGETABLE f ARSAPARIUA. ismadefrom IffiiffiSSi^ ties through herbs, aud F^^wSSSSfvl nature'sown contains no EfflffjifflH^TOnitl P ro P erclian * mineral nels.
