IN ALAMEDA COUNTY
Major McElrath Has a
Tussle With a Poll
tax Man.
PARLIN'S MANY WIVES.
Ina D. Coolbrith Lies Seriously
II! at Her Oakland
Residence.
AN EJECTMENT THAT FAILED.
Fifty Thousand Gallons of Alameda
Wine Is Bought by the
Syndicate.
Surrounded by a select and excited
coterie of lawyers, Major J. E. McElrath
and Polltax Collector Foster had a rough
and-tumble fight on the third corridor hall
way of the Blake & Moffit building yester
day afternoon.
Major McElrath is a prominent attorney
of the city and has his office in the build
ing. Foster entered the major's domains
to demand his polltax. McElrath, who
has an intense aversion to Foster, saw him
approaching. Determined not to pay his
tax to Foster, he sent his clerk down to the
Assessor's office to pay the tax there.
Meantime Foster came into the office and
demanded the money. McElrath told him
that it was paid. Foster intimated that he
was a liar and commenced moving the
chairs out of the lawyer's office prepara
tory to levying on them. McKirath sat
down in one of the chairs and took hold of
two others. Foster attempted to drag him
off upon the floor, and then the tussle com
menced. They went at it hammer-and
tongs style, and Foster was soon the under
dog. He was getting black in the face
when he was dragged out from under by
Attorney Fry. But instead of leaving Fos
ter started in the fight again. There were
no arrests made.
How Many Wives?
E. E. Pariin. formerly of this city, was
sent to San Quentin three years ago upon
a charge of bigamy. From latest advices
Mr. Pariin has been up to his old tricks
again. After Pariin had been released
from San Quentin he returned to this city.
Dr. C. J. Snarp took pity upon his friend
less condition and allowed him to sleep on
a lounge in his office. In a very short
time he became intimately acquainted
with a young woman here. The pair
claimed that they had been married by
contract, though there was another woman
here also claiming to be his wife.
Pariin shortly afterward departed for
Pasadena. A day or two ago he was ar
rested in the latter place upon a charge of
battery, preferred by a Mrs. Rose Pariin.
Meantime the other alleged wife here has
been living quietly with her parents.
Sharp has now sworn out a warrant for
Parlin's arrest upon a chatge of embezzle
ment. He claims that he put up a deposit
for Pariin in order that the latter might
obtain a position with an electric railroad.
Pariin drew down the deposit when he
started for Pasadena, and this is what the
doctor is angry about. Metta Belune is
the young lady who is supposed to be mar- I
ried to Pariin by contract. She denies, !
however, any such marriage.
PASADENA. Cal., July 26.— Local
newspapers have been advised by tele
gram that Mi&s Metta Behrns of 1170 Web
ster street, Oakland, was interviewed by
press correspondents, and denies all know
ledge of or acquaintance wth Frank E.
Pariin. A package of over sixty letters
nre in the possession of attorneys in Pasa
dena, addressed to Frank E. Pariin, from
1170 Webster street, Oakland, signed,
"Your loving wife, Metta," addressing
Pariin as "darling husband," and referring
to the circumstances of a marriage which
was performed by contract.
A letter is also held from Metta Behrns'
parents to Pariin expressing their surprise
at learning of his marriage to their daugh
ter. The letters from the deserted wife j
show her to be an independent, high
minded, working girl, desirous of having
the marriage publicly solemnized, and
anxious to earn her own living until such
time as Pariin should be able to support
her and give her a home.
In one of the letters she reproaches him
with marrying her before he was able to
provide a home for her, and indignantly
refuses some proposition of his to come to
Los Angeles into domestic service in a
hotel, which she considers beneath her.
There is little doubt that the marriage by
contract is valid in this State and that
Pariin will be held for bigamy.
Especial interest attaches to the case, as
a young woman, Mary Thorrenbean, em
ployed as maid by prominent society
people here, has come forward with letters
written her during the past.three months,
in which Pariin makes violent love to her
and has obtained her promise to marry
him »9 soon as he could obtain a divorce
from Mrs. Pariin No. 2, whom he married
here on April 4. Other letters, dating
back to 1892. from a Haywards girl signed
"Bertha," show Pariin to be a man of j
irresistible attraction for the fair sex, and
that his career has not been without the
epice of romance.
In 1892 Pariin lived in Oakland and let
ters from the Haywards girl were ad
dressed to him as" Dr. Parker. Parlin's
wife recently discovered in her husband's
trunk an old zinc sign, "Dr. A.D.Parker.''
manufactured by Al Wood & Bro., 463 .
Tenth street, Oakland. The following ex
tract from the Pasadena Evening News, a
letter from Metta's parents, signed Mr.
and Mrs. George Behrns, dated George
town. February 25, is significant:
Dr. F. M. Pariin— Vkav. Friend; Your wel
come letter came to hand and we were glad to
hear from you again. It was indeed a surprise
to ub that you and Metta were married, for we
were under the impression that the wedding
would not take place till June as Metta in
formed us so and never wrote us differently.
We do not like it very much that our Metta got
married by contract. and Metta was always say
ing whenever she got married she would nave
a minister. We cannot conceive why *ne aid
otherwise. Such a marriage is illegal, we
wish »he could be married over again, either
by minister or Justice of the Peace.
D. Mitchell of the old employment
office, Oakland, writes to Pariin as follows,
under date of May 15:
Some time ago I got a note from you to get
that contract recorded and I expected to hear
further from you on the subject. In the in
terval Mrs. P. called and seemed to object
thereto and was very much distressed that she
had not heard from you— in fact quite in a
•tate of perturbation at some intrigue respect
ing her domestic relations and some annoy
ance she was put to through others interfer
ing with her business, and altogether she
thought that some one was interfering be
tween her and your happiness and letters.
A Programme Charged.
The unexpected action of the Supervi
sors in cutting down the assessments of
the railroad corporations is roundly con
demned by the great mass of tax-payers.
Assessor Jjalton increased the assessment
of Alameda County by over $2,000,000, and
the Supervisors reduced the assessments
11,400,000, and all the reduction was on
railroad property.
The reduction of the assessment cf $677,
--000 on the Seventh-street local line to $10
has caused very general surprise. The four.
Supervisors who voted for the reduction
explained their vote by saying that the
Deputy District Attorney advised them
that the property was part of the general
eystem and was assessable by the State
Board of Equalization. Attorney W. R.
Davis, the man who won the water-front
case in the Supreme Court, says that the
piece of road assessed by Mr. Dalton is as
much a street railroad as any other, as it
charges fares, does not run ont of the
county and never runs a main line train on
its Seventh-street track.
"I did all I could," said the Assessor
yesterday, "but I might as well have saved
the money I spent getting at the actual
value of the various properties. The rail
road company can do as it likes, appar
ently." Some of the reductions made by
the Supervisors are actually lower than the
values placed upon the steamers by the
Southern Pacific's master mechanic. Su
pervisor Pelouze, who voted against every
reduction, charges that the whole thine
was programmed, ana at one time walked
out of the secret session in disgust. Bailey
surprised no one; Church is a brother to
the deputy who passed on the Seventh
street line, and Talcott and Johnson sur
prised their constituencies.
Miss Coolbrith 111.
Miss InaD. Coolbrith, one of California's
most brilliant poets, is lying dangerously
ill at her residence. 12G7 Webster street.
Miss Coolbrith is suffering from a com
bination of peritonitis and B right's disease,
and her condition is very serious indeed.
She was stricken down suddenly last Mon
day morning.
Many of her friends, including Mrs.
Howe, Mrs. Zeller and a number of others,
have been in constant attendance at hpr
bedside since. It is expected that Will
Pinkerton, Miss Coolbrith's half-Drother.
will soon reach his sister's side. Miss
Coolbrith has seemed to be unconscious at
times since the attacks came. She was
resting a little better yesterday afternoon.
Miss Coolbrith's name is a household
one throughout the State, and her fame
extends to far greater boundaries. Very
few poets, the number including even
Joaquin Miller and Richard Realf, have
had such popularity in the State. Miss
Coolbrith's ode read at the Fourth of July
celebration in this city was her latest and
one of her finest pieces of work.
Stand No Chance.
It is not believed that Mrs. L. R. Griffin
and Miss If. E. Connors, the two teachers
recently dropped from the High School,
will have much grounds for contesting the
actions of the Board of Education, though
they have announced their intention of
commencing suit. The two, it is stated,
rely upon the celebrated Kennedy decision
in "reference to the San Francisco School
Department. However, in San Francisco
the teachers are not elected for any definite
period of time. In Oakland they are
definitely appointed for one year and are
so informed. Miss E. Packard, the new
teacher, who comes from the Los Angeles
High School, has been assigned to the
cnarge of the English and history depart
ments of the High School. Miss Ella C.
McXeely will assist in the English depart
ment and G. H. Bokeand Miss L. E. John
son in the history department. J. M. Pat
ton will have charge of the French and
German classes. Miss A. L. Williams has
been assigned to the mathematical depart
ment.
Attempted Ejectment.
Dr. Ambrose Sanders attempted to eject
Peter Larsen from the doctor's property at
f*3o Campbell street on Thursday evening.
The doctor was accompanied by C. M.
Lewis and Mr. Smith, proprietor of the
| Nevada House at Seventh and Washington
I streets. The three men attempted to move
Larsen's furniture out upon the street,
when the Larsen family, backed by a
crowd of neighbors, interfered. A fight
ensued, in which victory perched upon the
banner of those stronger in numbers. San
ders finally concluded to temporarily with
draw from the scene of action. He was
I chased to the electric car by a small-sized
mob, who made use of handy missiles to
emphasize their displeasure. Larsen was
arrested for assaulting Sanders and his
trial will come up to-day.
A Woman Attempts Suicide.
A woman of respectable appearance and
{ about 50 years old attempted to jump off
! the 7:^0" boat from San Francisco last
| night. She was prevented from carrying
I out her intention, but her peculiar manner
induced some of the passengers to hand
I her to an officer on the arrival at Oakland
j pier. She was taken to the City Prison,
j and said her name was Mrs. Hattie Lowrie
and her residence Third and Mission
streets. San Francisco. She told so many
conflicting stories that 6h° will be held
pending an inquiry into her sanity.
Still After His Salary.
City Wharfinger Rutherford has filed an
amended petition fora writ of mandamus
to compel the payment of $300 back salary.
Originally the wharfinger sued the city of
Oakland "and the Auditor. The Council
refused to allow the City Attorney to ap
pear for the city. Now Mr. Rutherford
has asked that the Auditor alone be man
dam used. The Auditor refuses to audit
the warrants because they are not signed
by the president of the Board of Public
Works, who does not believe that Ruther
ford was legally appointed. The writ of
j mandamus is returnable on August 8.
The "Water War.
The water war still goes on merrily be
tween the two companies, the Contra
Costa and Oakland. The glue factory
below the Dingee pumpine stations at
Alvarado, which it has been charged is run
in the interest of the Contra Costa Com
pany, who want to see the artesian-water
supply go slack in order to cripple their
rivals, has sent an order for a new pump
to be used on the wells which it has dug.
For the Valley Railroad.
The contract for building the trestle
across Mormon Channel on Taylor street,
Stockton, for the San Joaquin Valley Rail
road has been let to an Oakland contractor,
John Worlington. His contract calls for
the completion of the road within thirty
days. It will take about 60.000 feet of
lumber and 120 piles.
A Missing Witness.
The Contra Costa Laundry has asked
that the suit brought against it by W. H.
Lynn for damages alleged to have been due
to a wagon of the company running into
him be continued. They allege that one of
their principal witnesses, the driver of the
wagon in question, has left the city.
Wanted New Attire.
Joe Schmidt was yesterday held in the
Police Court to await trial upon a charge
of burglary. Schmidt is accused of enter
! ing the house of Manuel Mederios, in
| East Oakland, and abstracting a suit of
i brand new clothes.
A Wine Transfer.
There was yesterday recorded a transfer
of wine to the Wine-makers' Corporation
by the Ruby Hill vineyard of Pleasanton.
There were 40,000 gallons of red wine and
10,000 of white transferred. It is all of the
j vintage of 1894.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA
The Proposed Pennant Re
gatta of the Enclnals
This Afternoon.
A Fraudulent Check Operator
Wanted by the Police— Driver
Harvey Injured.
The annual challenge pennant regatta
of the Encinal Yacht Club will take place
this afternoon commencing at 2 o'clock
over the club's new course. The tide will
be up and it is hoped that a breeze will
blow so as to make possible trials of speed
between the competing craft. Therefore
the greatest interest is manifested in the
race.
Fraudulent Checks Abroad.
The police of this city are industriously
looking for a smooth operator who lias
been going aDout the county trying to
raise money on fraudulent checks. He
tried his scheme in this city, but failed to
catch any victims. One of his intended
dupes in Alameda was the firm of Strong
& Daniels, of the Alameda Market, on
Park street, where he sent a boy to collect
?20 on a check with the signature of Gray
son, Owen & Co.. the wholesale meat
men. The boy, who was not very bright,
informed Mr. Strong that a man had sent
him to collect the money, and Mr. btrong,
preferring to deal with him direct, refused
to honor the check. The holder did not
present himself afterward. The checks
which the swindler presents are drawn
against the Central Bank of Oakland, and
bear the signature of Grayson, Owen & Co.
Longfellow School Building.
The new Longfellow School building at
West End will not be ready for occupancy
Thursday, when all the schools of Alameda
will open after the summer vacation. How
ever, the old building has not yet been re
moved or destroyed, and Superintendent
of Schools Sullivan will have to make use
of it for at least one week, by which time
the new building will be completed.
A Driver Injured.
Elmo Harvey, local driver for Wells,
Fargo & Co., met with an accident yester
day afternoon in alighting from the wagon
in front of the office. He slipped from the
wheel and struck the sharp edge of the
step, cutting a deep gash in the right foot.
He will be laid up for several weeks as a
consequence. Burt Kinyon will be substi
tuted in his place.
For Creating a Disturbance.
Alexander Wallace, who created a dis
turbance at the Occidental Hotel when the
landlady made a demand upon him to set
tle his "account, was sentenced by Justice
of the Peace Morris yesterday to sixty
days' imprisonment in the county jail.
ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.
Reasons Given for Not Electing Jacob
Steppacher Assistant Secretary
of the Board.
The new Board of Election Commission
ers will try again next Tuesday to elect an
assistant secretary. As the board is now
organized the Democrats have the chair
man and secretary.
Several leading Republicans of the State
Central Committee have indorsed Jacob
Steppacher for assistant secretary, but
Commissioner Foster prefers another can
didate. The motive assigned for opposing
Steppacher is the statement that twenty
years ago he went to the country with a
club roll, at the suggestion of William
Higgins, who was then the Republican
boss. Steppacher's friends say that even
if their candidate did bolt for the woods
with a club roll in his pocket the act was
the indiscretion of a youthful politician,
who regarded the orders of the boss as the
decree of the party. In Steppacher's behalf,
it is said that he worked earnestly at Sac
ramento for the passage of the Australian
ballot law and other bills to promote
purity in elections.
Many leading Republicans now hope
that the law creating the Board of Election
Commissioners will be declared unconsti
tutional. Of late little has been said in the
Union League Club about employing coun
sel to defend the law.
At last accounts ex-Boss Dan Burns was
at Saratoga, N. Y. Hi 3 wife left the City
last evening to join him.
Police Commissioner Moses Gunst is ex
pected to return to San Francisco next
week.
Sued by th« Widow.
Mrs. Theodore Fronega, widow of a man who
was killed by the train near the Seventh-street
crossing last January, is suing the Southern
Pacific Company for $50,000 damages.

The Mission Vereln Mortgage.
The Mission Turn Verein's application to
mortgage its property for $28,000 was granted
yesterday by Judjje Sanderson.
BUILDING MANY VESSELS
Renewed Life on Both Sides of
the Alameda Estu
ary.
OPENING OAKLAND'S BTREETS.
Many Square Miles of Marsh Land
Made Into Good Commercial
Property.
The ship-building yards on the estuary
are busier now than they have been for
some time, and the merry noise of ham
mers and calking-irons is heard from morn
till night. On both sides of the inlet there
is renewed life and vigor, which is partly
caused by the appearance of better times
and partly by the recent decision in the
water-front case.
On the Oakland side the small amount
of wharfage is crowded with vessels all the
time. The new Grove-street wharf will
soon be ready to be used for commerce.
The large Adams wharf that is being built
for a purpose not yet made public is being
rushed to completion.
City Wharfinger Rutherford said yester
day that unless some of the vessels now
expected are overdue he does not know
how he can accommodate them with berths,
and he longs for the time when some of
the streets will be opened to the water
front and wharves built on the ends of
them.
In the meantime the Board of Works
is hurrying matters as fast as it can, and
already commissions have been appointed
for the opening of Brush, Castro and
Seventeenth streets.
On the Alameda side can be found the
busiest spot around the estuary. The largest
dredger yet built on the coast is being
built for service up the Sacramento River,
Next to the dredger is a very pretty
schooner just far enough advanced to show
her model. Clean cut in every streak
and with a bow like a wedge, the handsome
craft cannot help but make a record in the
coast lumber trade, for which she is being
built.
In the next slip lies the coast steamer
Coos Bay undergoing the unusual process
for a wooden vessel of being lengthened.
The interesting operation has been suc
cessfully performed, and work on the
planking is well advanced. In order to
carry out the projected improvements the
steamer was cut squarely in half right
amidships. Then the two ends were
drawn forty feet apart, and the space be
tween was built up.
Silently but surely the marsh land be
tween the two narrow-gauge trestles is be
ing converted into solid land by the pump
ing of mud and sand from the estuary.
For months this work has been going on,
and now several square miles of good lanu
suitable for any manner of commercial
enterprises are seen where formerly swamps
and mud formed the landscape. A walk
along the Oakland water front at the pres
ent time will convey some idea of the
enormous possibilities of that valuable sec
tion when once the title to it is settled
finally.

It is expected that the club will have a

which will soon be held in San Francisco,
as there are several promising men in the
club desirous of fistic honors. The most
likely candidate seems to be J. C. Berry,
who weighs in at 125 pounds and is said to

SCANLAN TO STAND TRIAL.
He Sent a Dunning Postal Card Through
the Mail.
C. A. Scanlan will have to stand trial.
He sent a postal card through the mail
saying a man who owed him $150 was
"putting on airs at other people's ex
pense." His attorney introduced a de
murrer on the ground that the postal card
did not reflect injuriously on the person to
whom it was written.
The case was argued pro and con for
over an hour, but finally United States
District Judge Morrow decided that the
demurrer was not well taken. Had the
language used been inclosed in an en
velope, instead of being on a postal card,
the demurrer would have been sustained.

F. W. Dohrmann, president of the Merchants'

committee is requested, if an appropriation is
made, that it do not exceed $5000. Mr. Dohr
mann states that tbe association is satisfied,
on the report of its engineer, that the work
will not cost more than $2500, and suggests
that the difference between that amount and
the $5000 be turned over to the general fund.
