ROAD-RAGING OF
THE WHEELMEN.
Cyclers Foster, Terr ill, Wells
and Harbottle Develop
the Best Time.
NO RECORDS WERE BROKEN.
The Bay City, Olympic, Califor- j
nia, Acme and Reliance
Clubs Have Races.
That the season of 1895 in cycling will be
the greatest year the sport has ever had on
this coast was again evidenced yesterday
by the crowds of wheelmen and spectators
who attended the several road races held
over the Fruitvale-Hay wards course yester
day.
There were five club races in the morn
ing, the Olympic Club and Reliance Club
wheelmen holding live-mile events, while
the Bay City Wheelmen, California Cyc
ling Club and Acme Club wheelmen's
races were each ten miles in length.
Had the course, over which the various
races were run, been in good condition,
there is no doubt that some records would
have been lowered, as almost all the men
were trained and the weather was all that
could be desired, being cloudy and cool.
But the road from Fruitvale to Haywards,
and the San Leandro triangle, are thor
oughfares over which a large volume of
trafiic passes daily, and, in consequence,
the course is much cut up in places, and
quite dusty.
The greatest interest followed the racers
of the Olympic Club and Bay City Wheel
men. The former had Foster, Long and
Coulter riding from scratch, while Wells
and Terrill rode from the same position
for the BayCitys. These men are five of
the fastest class" i'- riders on the coast. It
is not generally understood, however, that
class A or B do not figure in roadracing,
a- the League of American Wheelmen does
not sanction roadracing or any Sunday
racing, so the class Aor B men can com
pete with each other on the road at will.
It was 9:43 a. m. when the first race of the
day was started, the ten-mile sealed handi
cap event of the California Cycling Club.
Some twenty odd men were sent away a
minute apart on the road from High street,
Fruitvale, to Haywards. It was found,
however, by the timers and judges that
the last mile of the stretch was almost im
passable on account of sand, so only nine
miles were ridden. Thirteen men rode
this distance : their various times and posi
tions at the finish being as follows:
H. Friedlander 30:55 3-5, J. Wall 31:55 2-5,
A. Alcayaga 30:19 3-5, W. J. Pattosien 32:45,
A. Theisen 30:46 3-5, F. Struven 30:47, C.J.
Vermeil 35:302-5, H. Sternberg 30:45 2-5, H.
1.. Mayo 32:50, E. Erbe 30:15, W. G. Lovie
30:55 2-5, W. Strahle 31:54, J. W. Harvey
28 :5S 3-5.
J. W. Harvey, time, 23 mm. 58 3-5 sec,
was a very fair performance, everything
considered.
The Californias will hold another similar
race next Sunday.
Then came the Acme Club Wheelmen of
Oakland with a ten-mile race over the same
road, starting at 10:20. They also stopped
a mile short of the finish. The ride was in
the nature of a try-out to select for
their relay team. Twelve men started, two
minutes apart, of which number live quali
fied, J. A. Howard, T. Schleuter, Percy
Mott, C. Greaves and H. Phillipps. These
men, with fifteen others, will have another
race March 24, and the ten who make the
best showing then will constitute the
Acme's relay team.
At 11 o'clock sharp came the next race,
the five-mile handicap of the Reliance
Club Wheelmen of Oakland. C. I). Bates
Jr., J. H. Dieckmann Jr. and C. C. Har
bottle. three good riders, started from
scratch. Harbottle is a recent importation
from the East and a team mate of Zieg
ler. but evidently road racing is not in
his line, for he did not make much of a
showing, barely passing Dieckman and
Bates at the finish. C. R. Griffiths won
the race, but the time made by both scratch
and handicap men was so slow that the
club did not care to give it out. Of the
twenty-seven entries but sixteen finished.
Then followed what proved to be the
most satisfactory event of the day, the ten
mile handicap race of the Bay City Wheel
men, the first one they have had in a year.
Sanford Plummer had handicaped the
men, and .that he knew the abilities of the
men was shown when nearly all starters
finished within a few minutes of each
other.
Having heard the road near Haywards
was bad, Captain Podge decided to run the
race over the triangle, going up the road
ah .1 two miles to make the requisite
distance. At 11:15 the men were off, and
the lirst to show at the finish was F. C.
Day, who won by a few feet over Languetin
and Menne. The* three scratch men. Wells,
Terrill and Nissen came next at a terrific
rate of speed, Terrill winning time prize
in 28 minutes 12 1-5 seconds. The others
were all close behind, and their time was
as follows :
Contestant. | Handicap. i Net Time.
Y. I* Day 3 mm . .29:81 2-5

Wells broke his pedal at the finish or he
might have made Terrill and Nissen ride a
bit faster. Hawks had a bad fall, which
accounts for his poor showing. The IC
mile road record straightaway is 27:15, is
held by W. J. Christ, and was "made under
very favorable conditions, but, considering
all the circumstances. Ten-ill's time, though
slower, was very creditable.
At 12 o'clock the Olympic Club Wheel
men's five-mile handicap race started from
Fruitvale to San Leandro. Walter Foster,
who broke the 25-mile record over the tri
angle last Sunday, made best time in this
race l4 mm. 02*2-5 sec. — which, however,
does not come under McFarland's record
made at San Jose last year. For this course
it was very fast time.
C. F. Lemmon finished first just ahead
of Foster, while It. L. Long, who rode from
scratch with the latter met with a slight
accident near the finish and had to drop
out. Coulter, the other scratch man, who
comes from the East and rides in the team
with Ziegler and Harbottle, could finish
no better than in fifth place. The follow
ing table will explain the positions and
time made by the riders:

The day's racing then being ended the
wheelmen all gathered about the piazza of
the Estudillo House, where the timers
scorers and clerks were busy figuring out
the results of the different races. No sur
prise was felt when it was announced the
records had not been lowered, as the road
was known to be in too poor condition for
that, but the general results were very sat
isfactory.
. Yesterday morning at Berkeley the
Crescent Road Club held its first road race,
along Shattnck avenue, Bancroft way,
University and San Pablo avenues and
Dwight way. At San Jose the road club
ran. its monthly five-mile race over the
Alum Rock course.
Probably the most interested spectators
of the racing yesterday at San Leandro,
as well as the most observed of all, were
the Eastern riders, who arrived Saturday —
E. C. Bald, Ray Macdonald and Asa Win
die. They were delighted with the racing,
admired the men, particularly Terrill,
Wells, Foster and Long, and made them
selves very popular. In the afternoon they
lunched at Haywards, the guests of the
Reliance Club, and last evening were en
tertained at the Bay City Wheelmen's
clubhouse.
The Imperial Cycling Club had a run to
Redwood City yesterday, which was well
attended.
Captain Etting took the Pacific Cycling
Club over to San Leandro yesterday. The
Liberty Club rode to the Presidio. The
Garden City Cyclers rode up to San
Leandro from San Jose.
The rode at Livermore is so bad now
that Wilbur Edwards could do nothing in
the way of record breaking last week. He
is thinking of trying a mile stretch near
San Mateo this week if the conditions are
all right.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, - MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1595.
GAELIC GAMES ON
ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
A Grand Tournament to Be
Held at Central Park
Next Sunday.
KNIGHTS AND SANDOWS TUG.
Athletes Coming from Oak
land,. Alameda and Port
Costa.
A grand tournament of all the Gaelic
games popular in Ireland for centuries will
be held under the auspices of the Gaelic
Athletic Association at Central Park on
Sunday, March 17, St. Patrick's Day. Ex
i tensive preparations have been made for
j the occasion and additional attractions
j will be included in the programme of
: events, such as a tug-of-war between the
j team of the Knights of the Red Branch
and a team selected from the "Sandows"
•of the Gaelic league. The knights are
I well posted on the game, and under the
' able leadership of M. Casey, who has had a
j large experience in this line, will, no doubt,
| give the Sandows a hard rub. The latter
i may be seen every evening at Central Park,
! training hard and getting into shape for
the event.
J. O'Dowd of the Emmets has taken
i charge of the team and puts his men
I through the paces every evening with an
j ability that augurs ill for the redoubtable
, "knights." The prize for the winning
team will be a handsome silver cup, beau
-1 tifully, chased, which has been presented
; to the league by an enthusiastic Gael.
The teams will be composed of eight men
I each, and from the interest manifested by
1 the friends of the contestants, no doubt
I may be felt that both sides will do their
j level best to win.
Mr. O'Dowd has not decidedjas yet who
j are the men to be selected from the six
| teen or twenty stalwart specimens who
i nightly spread" themselves on the cleats
i for his approbation. By Sunday, he says,
| he will select the eight with whose aid he
proposes to take home the trophy. In the
| meantime the other team is not idle. Mr.
Casey has an advantage in having in his
team some men who h»ive formerly pulled
in tugs-of-war in the city. A bicycle race
may be added to the programme. The
track at Central Park is one of the finest in
the world for lovers of the wheel, and
should eighfor ten well-known local riders
enter for the event — live-mile go — it
would, without doubt, run the tug-of-war
and the football game a close race for first
I place in attractiveness.
As regards the football game a new feat
i ure will be introduced. The game will be
played between two teams of picked play
ers taken from the league at large, each
team composed of seventeen players this
game being for the championship the na
tional rules prescribe that number of play
ers. Seventeen gold medals will be pre-
I sented to the successful team. Both teams
: are to be selected on Sunday at Central
i Park and will practice every evening until
! the eventful day.
j Players are coming from Port Costa, the
I home of the "Giants ' of a few years since,
I from Oakland and one or two of national
I reputation from the redwoods of Mendo
i cino County. A great game of ball should
I result. As a solace for defeat the losing
side will be allowed to retain possession of
j the ball, which is being specially made for
the occasion and will prove a national prize
|in itself. <j ••;■. a->
The day's sport will commence at 1 p. m.
1 and the following order will be strictly ad
hered to: 100 yards (open), 220 yards, 440
j yards, 220 yards (for boys under 14), half
I mile (open), high jump, hop, step and
jump, long jump, tug-of-war, throwing 12
--i pound weight, putting 50-pound weight,
relay race (one mile), football, 100 yards.
i The referee for the day and necessary
umpires, timers, starters, etc., have not
been selected, but will be announced at
next Sunday's meeting of the managers.
The interest in the relay race mentioned
a week ago is increasing as the day draws
I near, and though the full teams from each
I club have not been announced a close
| observer might notice the absence from
' their usual haunts of the well-known
sprinters of the various clubs, as Palmer
! and Creede of the Emmets, Hurley and
1 Browne of theParnells and Mclnerneyand
. McCarthy of the San Franciscos. All are,
| no doubt, in active training, and with good
reason. :■•.■,
The Oakland boys are famous for their
, sprinting ability and considerable doubt i
; hangs over the 'fate of the four beautifully
i inscribed gold medals should the Alameda
! contingent enter a team at the last mo
| ment.
: j The Port Costas will furnish some of the
, j tug-of-war material, most of their players
. ; being heavy-weights "a la Sullivan/ so
; the local teams have no fear of meeting the
■ Carquinez aggregation. The race will, in
; all probability, go to the Emmets, as their j
' four men will, no doubt, be as follows, all
' ; runners of the first order: Palmer,
; O'Dowd, Creede and O'Connor. The Par
i nells will probably put forward Hurley,
I Brown, Ryan and Kane. The race between
, these ought to be very close, especially if
' i the latter attended faithfully to practice.
, I The San Franciscos have not much hope of
I winning, but may be depended upon for a
. i gallant effort. Their team will probably
be Mcluerney, McCarthy, Hannigan and
' Walsh or Lynch. Should the Oaklanders
' decide to contest, they would probably
, ! send the following: J. Cronin, Heafy,
, \ Grant and O'Connor.
• I It is too early yet to predict how the
> j various events will go, except to mention
' that enough entries have been made to se
i | cure a good contest in every instance, but
! j it should be borne in mind that entries for
i all events except the boys' race and foot
; ! ball game will close at noon on Saturday,
' i March 16, with the secretary, George A.
I j Browne, 1270 Market street. There will be
1 ; a first and second prize for each event ex
. cept the tug-of-war, football and relay race.
FINAL BALL GAME PLAYED.
On the Diamond at the Haight-
Street Grounds by a
Scratch Nine.
The Field Where Many Players
Made Their Debut Is
Doomed.
The stars and stripes waived yesterday
for the last time over the Haight-street
baseball grounds. hen the colors were
struck it was the signal of the defeat of
those who battled to maintain the grounds
for a ball-field. They fought hard and did
all they could to hold the field, but they
were not strong enough, and to-day the
work of demolishing the grand stand and
the bleachers will commence. The work
will continue until in a short time nothing
will remain but a memory of the diamond
on which so many prominent ball-players
have met and contested for supremacy.
Yesterday the last game was ' played
there. It had been announced that it
would be played between theOaklandsand
the San Franciscos for the benefit of Joe
Langendorfer, in recognition ; of his ser
vices during the ball season . as peanut
artist. In that line Joe was a success, but
when he saw the few that were in the
benches he must have thought that not
only republics and corporations, but also
baseball cranks, are ungrateful. ..;
Then when Umpire Donahue announced ,
that it was time to plaj' it was discovered
that neither team was full— that is, neither
had a sufficient number of men to fill the
several positions. So Captain Riley repre
senting one team and Captain Powers the
other made a lively skirmish in the audi
ence and by main force dragged out a num
ber of balltossers and pressed them into
service. Each team, instead of being a
picked nine, was a picked-up one. The
men of each team went to work with as
much energy as if they were doing battle
with the champions of the East. Some
very pretty plays were made, which
awakened the latent interest in the cranks,
who yelled until they were hoarse, just as
they used to do in the days when 20,000
people sat and watched the' games. ; ; :
The came terminated at 4 o'clock, and a
youthful crank who had kept track of the
game on the back of an envelope an
nounced with all the gravity of a $5 a day
scorer the "de game stands 17 for Riley's
team to 8 for Powers'."
The players picked up their traps and
moved to the dressing-room and that was
the end of the glory at the Haight-street
ball grounds.
These grounds were opened in the latter
part of March, 1887, the initial game being
played between the Haverleys and the
Pioneers; that game resulted in a victory
for the Haverleys, by a score of 6 to 5, and
it was hotly contested, being witnessed by
the largest crowd that ever watched a bail
game in this city. The batteries on that
occasion were McMullen and Carroll for
the Pioneers and Incell and Stein for the
Haverleys. On these grounds some of
the best ball-players in the United States
made their first appearance and it was on
this diamond that Colonel T. Peculiar Rob
inson won honors.
STRECKER MAKES A RECORD
Exceedingly Clever Shooting
at the Shell Mound
Rifle Butts.
On a Bad Day San Franciscan
Marksmen Make Many
Bullseyes.
There was more than the usual amount
of powder burned at the Shell Mound
ranges yesterday and a record made that
stands best on the Pacific Coast, if not in the
country, for rifles at 200 yards. A. Strecker
had a match with A. Jungblut for $10,
100 shots. Strecker, who is a member of
the California Schuetzen Club, allowed
Jungblut, who belongs to the San Fran
cisco Schuetzen Club, 300 points and won
by 105, making the unusual score of 2214
out of a possible 2500. Jungblut scored
1809, and with his handicap of 300 stood
finally 2109, and the loser. Philo Jacobi,
the president of the California Schuetzen
Club, said: "That is phenomenal work, es
pecially in the range and under the condi
tions. As a fact Strecker gave Jungblut
2J4 inches on each shot, or 225 inches in 100
shots, and then beat him by 303% inches.
It was fine work.
The Knights of the Red Branch . had a
shoot with rifles, 200 yards, 10 shots, the
following score resulting:
J. R. Kelly 40, J. J. Rogerson 37, M. Manix
38, M. Casey 36, D. S. Murphy 30, J. L. Con

Afraid of Luxuries.
"Not long ago," aid H. H. Coleman of
Chicago, at the Shoreham, "I had the
pleasure of attending a swell dinner given
by one of our millionaire townsmen, at
which 'Gene Field was an invited guest.
Field's brilliancy as a writer is in inverse
ratio to his ability as a money-getter. In
fact, the element of thrift is sadly wanting
in his makeup. There were many good
things to tempt the palate, among them
strawberries, which are a costly luxury in
the dead of winter at Chicago.
"When Field's bowl of berries were
placed beside him he. looked at them with
the scrutinizing air of an epicure, and then,
in a very emphatic way, pushed them to
one side, noticing which his host said :
. 'Aren't you fond of strawberries, Mr.
Field?' '
•' 'Yes, very much indeed; but they spoil
my appetite for prunes.' "—Washington
Post.

OAKLAND TO HAVE
A HULL HOUSE.
A : Young Eastern Clergyman
Laboring for the Welfare
of the Poor.
BEGGARS CAPTURE A CITY.
General Kelley of the Indus
trial Army Bids Farewell
to the Town.
The Rev. Mr. Hinckley, a young Congre
gational minister of Chicago, has located
in West Oakland. He brought with
him Hull House methods of social
reform and is making rapid strides
in his work. He has secured com
modious quarters in a roomy house at
Eighth and Wood streets, and calls his
place the Manse. It combines all the fea
tures of a school and home for entertain
ment and education. There is a polyclinic
school auxiliary to the Manse for those
who seek improvement.
The young minister who presides over
the destinies of the Second Congregational
Church, near the Manse, is tery enthusi
astic in his work. He said on the subject :
"We have been some time and to great
expense in getting our Manse to its pres
ent footing. Before the project could be
established on an intelligent basis it was
necessary to prepare maps of the district
and to make thorough investigations.
"The Manse is in no sense a social senti
ment or purely charitable organization.
We do not infringe on the work of the
Associated Charities, but conduct our af
fairs independent of any other gathering.
"This is in every way a workingmen's
home. We have a kindergarten for the
benefit of indigent children, classes in in
tellectual topics, which are conducted with
every regard to increasing the mental ca
pacity of the pupil, and from time to time
we give lectures on common topics.
"Recently we had a series of talks on
'Manufacturing Industries and Money dur
ing Washington's Administration.' Our
relations with the Associated Charities are
amicable. Mrs. Gushing and Mrs. Red
din gton, leaders in the latter, are among
our "best workers, while Miss Norton, my
colleague, is a good worker in the Asso
ciated Charities.
"There is a class on American poets
under the supervision of Miss Farnham, a
junior in the State University. We are
preparing an exhibition of pre-Raphaelite
pictures, the same as was recently given in
San Francisco."
In speaking of the locality Mr. Hinckley
said: "West Oakland, socially, is almost a
city by itself. According to the census of
IS9O there were 13,250 people in the First
Ward, whereas there is no other ward in
Oakland that can show over 8250. We are,
in a sense, removed from close social in
tercourse with the rest of the city, and
have felt the need of an institution which
would have for its object the amelioration
of "the workingman. There was a bad ele
ment here during the late strike, which
has, in a measure, been removed, and we
are pleased to see the standard of society
here rapidly improving.
' "The five-room cottage adjoining the
Manse on the east has been secured and
will be occupied by the school of poly
clinics. Dr. Medros, resident physician of
the Manse, will occupy the front room, a
servant the back, and the other three
rooms will be devoted to the use of the
clynical board, of which Dr. Card is the
president. The staff is complete except as
to dental surgery. We will also have an
auxiliary board on hygiene and nursing.
"We do not give out medicine, but do
; give free treatment to the indigent when
necessary. There is no money-making
feature in our work. Our object is the up
liftment, socially, of the workingman."
The Race for Mayor.
Oakland will hold a most important
election to-day and politics is the only
topic that interests. A full line of city
officials, from Mayor down, is to be
chosen. v- ..
The interest seems to center in the two
leading men for Mayor— J. W. Nelson',
who has nominations from three parties,
Republican, Democratic and Non-Partisan,.
and John L. Davie, who is the candidate of
a strong wing of the Populists. Davie has
opponents in the ranks of the Populists,
but he is said to have gathered strength
sufficient from other sources to overcome
the defection, notably among G. A. R.
veterans, of whom there are many in Oak
land. Davie speakers are making an issue
of the water-front fight and say that the
city under Non-Partisan rule wasted
$70,000 in trying to regain the water front.
They point to Davie and say "He would
have taken the front. What is the need of
paying for that which already belongs
to us?"
The Nelson people, on the other hand,
say that Davie did not take care of his own
business affairs and should not be trusted
with the city's; that the money paid out
in the water-front fight was for legitimate
expenses, and that the fight is in better
shape and the prospects for the city secur
ing its own have not been so near fulfill
ment in the city's history. One of the spe
cial attorneys for the city, William Lair
Hill, has addressed a large meeting defin
ing the position of the city in the case.
The Nelsonites say that Davie made his
best showing in the last campaign, when
he was beaten by Pardee. The vote at that
time was 3500 for Pardee, 2700 for Davie,
2300 for Fitzgerald, 960 for Barker and 47
for Dr. Woolsey. Davie's opponents say
it will be impossible for him to increase
this vote and that Nelson will beat him 2 to
1. The figures of Nelson's friends are 5000 for
their favorite and 3000 for Davie. This is
the most, they say, that he can possibly get.
Davie people, however, pooh-pooh this
assertion. They say that their favorite
was beaten last election by a trick, and
that had not Fitzgerald been run in as an
afterthought he would have secured all
the Democratic votes that went to him,
and that with a clear field this time he will
get nearly all this vote. The Davie people
make no figures on their man, but insist
that he will be elected. Conservative peo
ple estimate that if he gets in it will be by
a very close vote.
Beggars Take the Town.
Oakland is overrun with crippled and
deformed beggars, black and white, and
they have become so bold that if refused
alms by the passer-by they become insult
ing and brutal. The end of it is that a citi
zen would sooner give than submit to their
insults.
They have a rendezvous in a shanty on
Ninth street, between Franklin and Web
ster, erected by Ambrose Sanders for a
cheap eating-house. And in this place
five or six cripples and a number of tramps
hold forth and terrorize the neighborhood.
Their orgies and carousals are said to be
something fearful. Among them are two
legless negroes, both said to have bank ac
counts.
. They, with their crippled white com
panions, waylay citizens — men and
women— and have made themselves a
nuisance in the town. The police have ar
rested some of them, but complain that
this is useless, as they are let oft with such
light fines that they find no trouble in
keeping out of prison.
. The people in the vicinity of Ninth and
Franklin streets, where this rabble is
housed, have become so sick of their unde
sirable neighbors that : they threaten to
clean out the place if the police do not
soon take steps to that end.
An Angry Candidate.
Ross Morgan, who is the Non-Partisan
candidate for City Engineer, has been ac
cused by his enemies of having, with his
father, wrecked the office of City Engineer
when they retired from it to make room
! for Gray,' the present City Engineer. The
candidate worked with his father, I. W.
Morgan in the office.
The senior Morgan said yesterday when
asked about the charge: -
'•It is a most unjust accusation. >> hen
I was removed from the office all held
notes, plans, profiles, diagrams of surveys,
calculations and all matter ordered made
and paid for by the city of Oakland, or pri
vate official surveys of lots, for which the
fees are prescribed by the Council, were left
in the office and are there still.
"All records of private work which were
not of an official nature, but in which 1
was in competition with private surveyors,
were retained by me. Block books and
section map 3 made by me at my own ex
pense and which the city had refused to
have made were retained by me.
"To be sure that I would make no mis
take in the matter, before I removed any
thing from the office I sought and acted
under the advice of the Mayor, President
of the Council, Finance Committee of the
Council, the City Attorney and the special
attorneys for the city."
. Kelley Kids Oakland Farewell.
"General" Kelley, who led an industrial
array across the continent, delivered an
address at the corner of Tenth street and
Broadway last night, in which he used
some very strong language. He spoke
against the Populists in general and John |
L. Davie, their candidate for Mayor, in par- !
ticular, and wound up by saying that he
was then making his last speech in Oak- j
land. He said he would in the future be |
found in San Francisco, from which point j
he intended carrying on the work he had |
undertaken in connection with the indus- |
trial army.
Died on the Street.
William Knowles Carter, aged 70 years, i
dropped dead yesterday at '.thirty-fourth
and Chestnut streets. Carter resided at
the corner on which he was stricken down. |
ALAMEDA.
There was a large attendance at the i
speedtrack yesterday in response to a I
general invitation from Warden Sanford j
Bennett to owners of horses. A great im- !
provement has been made in a compara
lively short time. wNi
Warden Bennett made the last payment
to Contractor Zingg on Saturday .■The ;
next enterprise to provide funds to Keep
the track in racing trim during the coming :
season will be the minstrel show to be given
Friday and Saturday evenings at Armory j
Hall.
Mr. Bennett made arrangements yes
terday with Walter Foster, the ex-cham
pion bicyclist of the Pacific Coast, to make i
a trial for the world's record for one mile j
straightaway on the speed boulevard. A :
fifteen-foot path on the track will be
specially prepared for the event. Weather j
permitting the trial will be made next
week. f •..•:
Residence Burned.
The residence of Charles White on Buena
Vista avenue, near Park street, was par- !
tially destroyed by fire yesterday alter- i
noon, it is supposed that the fire started
from a defective Hue. The roof of the
house was burned, but little of the furni
ture destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Furey ;
narrowly escaped a serious accident at the
fire. They drove up and stopped in front
of the White residence just before the Fire
Department arrived on the scene. Their
horse became frightened and upset the
buggy, throwing both of the occupants to
the ground and tangling themselves up in
the lines. The animal was captured by
bystanders and in all probability a serious
accident was averted.
Problem of Temptation.
Rev. W. W. Scudder gave the first of a
series of Sunday-evening talks at the Con
gregational Church last evening prepara
tory to Passion week. His subject was
"The Problem of Temptation," and was
illustrated with lantern-slide pictures.
Altruistic Society.
Rev. E. B. Payne will address the meet
ing of advocates of altruism this evening
at the residence of Mrs. Helen Cushman,
on Santa Clara avenue. During the even
ing the subject of permanent organization
of the society will be acted upon.
BEBKELEY.
The committee of twenty-five on rail
road terminal will meet at the Town Hall
Tuesday night and discuss the report of
the committee of six appointed to consider
a propos ition of securing the terminus of
the new road for this city. A number of
resolutions will be presented and some
definite plan of action will probably be
outlined.
Notes.
Robert Carter, who was injured in a run
away accident last week, lies at his home
on Dana street in a precarious condition.
The public schools will close next Friday
for a week. „.' =i .;.
The Independent Taxpayers have selected
Earl H. Webb and Victor Robertson to fill
the vacancies in the executive committee.
