TTHIDDEN IN TROUBLE.
His TFife'S Property Attached for a
Promissory Not*.
.. Auditof WhLddenls troubles are increase
ing. This morning a suit was filed against
him and his wife by the Union National
Bank on a projnissory ii-ote for $1250. The
attachment was issued and served against
the interest of Mary D.' Whidden in a tract
.of land near Pleasan'ton containing 128
acres. The property was the separate es
tate of Mrs. Whidden, who received it from
her father, who was a well-to-do resident of
this county. The attachment caused much
surprise around the courthouse, as the Au
ditor was always supposed to be financially
free. • His salary is $4000 a year and he is
now serving his third term.
Auditor Whidden is now at his home
under the care of a doctor. He is said to
be seriously ill as the result, partially, of
the strain' be has been put to by the un
pleasant expose of the. shortage in the Ta-x
Collector's office.
THE FLOOR GAVE WAY.
Several Men Dodge From Under Thirty
Tons of Hay.
A number of men employed in grinding
barley on the Meek ranch had a close call
one day this week of being crushed to
death. While they were at work a sudden
crackling noise was heard, and they had
just time to escape when the floor gave
way and down came thirty tons of hay
with a crash,
John Fink had just carried a sack across
the floor to empty into the bin and had he
remained a second longer he would have
been crushed beyond recognition, but the
crackling of the'floor warned him in time,
and he lost no time in getting outside.
Another workman who was engaged in
emptying sacks into the hopper, fortunate
ly was at the moment out after sacks, and
thus escaped a horrible death.
Disgraceful Sandlot Scenes.
There was need of the police to-night to
preserve the peace in front of the City
Hall. For more than half an hour there
was one of the most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed on what is now known as
Oakland's "sandlot." About 8 o'clock the
two colored evangelists who nightly preach
from the steps on one. side of the entrance
took their stand as usual and began to ex
hort the crowd. About 500 people gath
ered and were listening attentively to the
evangelists when an enthusiast mounted
the steps on the other side of the entrance
and began to talk politics.
The two rival speakers about twenty feet
apart drew an enormous crowd, and the
new arrival speedily enconhtered opposi
tion. A crowd started up the steps to pull
him off, as they did not approve of his
views on religious questions. Yelling
and shouting was kept up for fully half an
hour, when J. H. Fones, a temperance
orator., mounted the- bandstand a little
distance off and commenced to hol.d! forth
on metaphysics and popular ignorance of
great subjects. So- great was- the crowd
that when the City Council adjourned they
were forced -to leave the hall by a rear en-
When the political speaker, whose name
is not known to the police, was hustled
till it was apparent violence would soon
follow the police broke up his meeting And
took the old man into, the prison for pro
tection. He was liberated as soon as the
crowd had cleared off. The cause of the
massing of the nightly crowds is the ordi
nance keeping them off the streets,, which
is being rigidly enforced. Before the police
broke up the crowd there were about .4000
people in front of the City Hall. ■ {
A Brass-Finisher's Dilemma. ■ .
Cornelius E. Stuart, a brass-finisher,
was locked' up to-night on a charge of
felony. Stuart is a brass-finisher and on
Auiriis.t Bhe took out a marriage license
and" married Mrs. Moore, a .widow who
owns two flats at 765/ and 765-, Twentieth
street. Everything progressed smoothly
until this morning, when Stu-art and his
wife went to a local -bank ta make some
property transfer. On producing their
marriage certificate the teller informed
Stnart that his name ."was spel-t wrongly
and that he would have to go to the Re
corder and have the. document corrected.
The name on the certificate was Seward.
Stuart went to the County Cl«rk's office
and told him of -the mistake and Deputy
Mason told him it wquld be necessary to
make an affidavit ior County Clerk Jordan
to attest. Stuart then went to the Record
er's office and asked- Deputy Spear to make
the change" in the record. Of course Spear
refused to do so without. authority. When
the County Clerk appeared later the stub
book was found to have, been corrected and
the name Seward changed to Stuart. •
The" name appears jhree times on the
stub; and only in one place was it altered.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 1895.
SECURING RIGHTS OF WAY
Work Will Soon Be Com
menced on the Livermore
Electric Road.
VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION.
No Bonus Is Being: Asked, but a
Free Right of Way Is
Expected.
The interior of Alameda County is
showing a great interest in the electric
road that will shortly be operating be
tween Oakland and Livermore. The pro
moters of the road are not delaying mat
ters because of the appeal to the Supreme
Court regarding the validity of their fran
chise, but have already made preparations
for progressing at a rapid rate.
The opposition to the new road which
was from the Hay ward electrics line has
been overcome, now that the Haywards
line has not been awarded the franchise.
Many of the property-owners along the
proposed route from Oakland to San
Leandro had signified their willingness to
give rights of way before the franchise
was granted, but later representatives of
other lines prevailed upon some of them
to go back on their promises. Now, how
ever, the matter has been satisfactorily ar
ranged and very few are holding back.
Mr. Vandercook, the holder of the fran
chise, returned to Oakland to-day from a
tour of the interior of the county, and he
states that his company wants a right of
way thirty feet in width, and he expects
this to be given without any cost. When
the Haywards road was built there was no
need to'ask for any rights of way from pri
vate property-owners, as the entire route
is along the public road. But the com
pany did ask and obtained some substan
tial bonuses. Mr. Vandercook will not ask
for any bonus, but expects to be given the
right of way, the company to make good
any damage to trees or fences.
The franchise granted by the Supervisors
gives practically a clean line over county
roads, but Mr." Vandercook says it is his
desire to make the road as direct as pos
sible, and an effort is being made to secure
the shortest possible route, and if these
rights be secured, but little of the county
roads will be required.
The new company will build the road as
soon as possible, and Mr. Vandercook
states that about four months after rights
of way are Secured the road will be com
pleted. The agreement signed by property
owners who give land provides that the
work shall be completed within one year
after operations are begun. It is not the
intention of the company to resort to con
demnation proceedings, as it is felt, that
such ought not to be necessary.
The farmers and others through whose
land the road will pass freely concede that
the ultimate benefit to them will more
than pay for the right of way. When the
right of way cannot be obtained the route
will be changed so as to cut through prop
erty whose owners are willing to have it.
According to the proposed route the
road will not pass through Haywards, but
will strike Castro Valley about a mile and
a half from the center of town. A branch
from the main line will be run into
Haywards.
It is stated that F. M. Leland, who
recently resigned from the Haywards
road, will enter the employ of Mr. Vundor
cook. Mr. Leland is one of the most ex
perienced superintendents on the coast,
and under his management the Haywards
road has paid dividends almost from the
start. A few days ago the Haywards road
decided to call in some of its bonds and
run the road on a cash basis. The terri
tory through which the new road will pass
is rapidly developing, and the route will
terminate at the coal mines near
Liverniore.

tion where new men were found necessary
have secured only one each. The need for
two more men seems to have been occa
sioned by the great increase oi students
taking courses in that department and
through the resignation of Associate Pro
fessor Harold Whiting, who met with such
a tragic end in the Colima disaster. His
position will be practically tilled by Dr. E.
P. Lewis and Dr. A. C. Alexander, both of
whom are Eastern men.
Though their work will extend over a
wider range than that of the deceased pro

Dr. Lewis comes directly from the Bliss
School of Electricity in Washington, D. C,
having been recommended for his present
position by President Gilman of Johns

Hall by the Unitarian society, which has

the legal right of the Unitarians to use the
hall for church services, and the point of
legality was the only one originally raised.

DEATH OF MISS LEWIS.
A Charge of Murder Is Placed Against
Lewis Mnhlher — A Damaging Story
by the Mother of the Victim.
Oakland Office f>.\x Francisco Call,)
908 Broadway, August 16. j
After lying unconscious with a bullet in
her brain for 120 hours, Miss Jennie Lewis
died this afternoon without recovering
consciousness or speaking one word that
would have established the guilt or inno
cence of the man under arrest for the
crime. As soon as the police were notified
of the girl's death a charge of murder was
placed against Muhlner.
The prisoner was told of Miss Lewis'
death, but he showed little interest in the
hews. "Too bad; that's tough," was all
he said as he continued to smoke his pipe.
Another circumstance connected with
the unfortunate girl's death was made
known to-day by Miss Lewis' mother.
When Muhlner came to this city last
Saturday, he came for the purpose of
"fixing I ' Jennie, so that she would not be
able to attend the Silver Stag ball in Ger
mania Hall last Saturday night. When
asked about this, Mrs. Lewis said: "Muhl
ner was at a party at Druid Hall Friday
night, a week ago. He left there at 3
o'clock Saturday morning, and under a
forced drive to San Rafael reached our
home before the family had risen. He
breakfasted with us and remained nearly
all the morning. In some way he learned
that Jennie was gointr to the ball in this
city that night with Miller, and as he left
the door of my house he said: 'I am going
to Oakland, and I will fix Jennie so that
sue will not go to the ball to-night with
that fellow Miiler, and I'll mash his face.'
This remark was heard by a young man
who stood near the aoor. If I had thought
that Muhlner had intended trouble I
would have telephoned Jennie to keep out
of his way."
The attempt to decoy Jennie to the New
land House on last Sunday afternoon by
writing a letter signed by her lover, Charles
Miller, is supposed by the police to have
some connection with Muhiner's desire to
"fix" the young lady. Whether or not he
carried out his intentions at the Mooar
house next day is the point to be deter
mined at the trial.
The police have now discovered that
Muhlner was in a saloon in Oakland be
tween 4:30 and 5 p. m. on the day of
the shooting. This is about an hour
after the tragedy occurred. Muhlner was
noticed by his companions to be both
nervous and excitable. An effort is being
made to find the revolver and to discover
the conductor of the car that brought
Muhlner into town.
The remains of Miss Lewis were taken
io the Morgue, and an inquest will be held
Monday.
An autopsy showed tbat the bullet was
imbedded at the base of the brain.
ORGANIZING LOCAL DEMOCRATS.
Iroquois Club Branch Formed in the
Forty-Second District.
Preliminary steps were taken last night
to form a branch of the Iroquois Club in
the Forty-second District. Similar organi
zations have already been started in all
the districts in thi3 City from the Twenty
eighth to the Forty-second.
Max Popper, as chairman of the commit
tee on organization for the club, is in
charge of the work. He explained last
night that the purpose for which all the
precincts of the City are to be organized in
this manner by the Democrats is to ac
quaint all the members of the party with
the details of the primary election law
passed by the last Legislature, and to in
terest Democrats in a general participation
in the primaries.
J. J. Sullivan was elected temporary
chairman and C. H. Speller temporary
secretary of the embryo club formed last
night.
In about a week or ten days the remain
ing three districts in the City— the Forty
th;rd. the Forty-fourth and the Forty-fifth
—will have been organized, and then there
will be a general meeting of all the chair
men to discuss more definite plans for the
work of the whole club.

SUTRO'S GENEROUS GIFT
Will the Affiliated Colleges
Committee Refuse to Ac
cept It?
A MOTIVE FOR OPPOSITION.
The Southern Pacific Believed to
Be Backing Up the Oppo
sition.
A belief is growing that the Southern
Pacific is back of the opposition to the
selection of the Sutro site for a building
for the Affiliated Colleges.
It is claimed by those whose opinion is
worth something that the Southern Pacific
has intimated to the members of the com
mittee (who are also members of the Board
of Regents) that they must oppose the
Sutro offer if they desire any favors of the
Legislature in the way of additional appro
priations. In order to cover up its work
the Southern Pacific adopted a very pe
culiar though, now that it is understood,
not unexpected course.
The company did nothing less than
abandon the service of the only street rail
road that made the Sutro site easily acces
sible. It is true that in order to do this
hundreds of people must be made to suffer.
There may be little, much or nothing
in this view of the case, but it would take
more than a mere denial on the part of
the railroad to make the people think so.
The site offered by Mr. Sutro to the Af
filiated Colleges committee is incompar
ably superior to any so far suggested. It
has a frontage of 1200 feet on J street, and
is within half a biocK of the railroad so
recently abandoned by the Southern Pa
cific. The hills in the rear furnish a
natural wind-break— an advantage not
possessed by any one of the numerous sites
heretofore suggested.
Probably the most desirable feature of
Mr. Sutro's gift is found in the fact that
the lot contains twenty-six acres, or land
enough to meet any requirements of the
Affiliated Colleges for the next hundred
years to come.
"There can be no question about the
Sutro site being the most desirable yet
offered," said W. C. Little yesterday, "and
I believe that when the committee come
to consider the matter carefully, they will
so decide. The fact of its being far out
cannot be urged as an objection, for peo

"Further than this, the City is growing
rapidly in that direction, for the simple
reason that it is the most desirable. As I
said before, I do not see how the commit

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA
Work of the Board of Equaliza
tion Now Nearly Com
pleted.
W. H. Taylor Writes a Sarcastic
Letter to the Equalizers— A
Patent Bicycle Saddle.
ALAMEDA, Cal., Aug. 17.— The City
Equalizers assembled yesterday morning,
but adjourned without transacting any
business. There are very few more ap
plications before the board to be con
sidered, and the work of equalization will
be closed in a couple of days.
In view of the action taken last Tuesday
on the application of Mrs. Mary \V. Mas
tick, cititations have been issued to a
number of residents at West End to ap
pear before the equalizers Monday morn
ing and show cause why their assessments
should not be increased.
W. H. Taylor has written a communica
tion to the board expressing regret that
business engagements will prevent his ap
pearing before them to show cause why
the assessment on his property should not
be increased from $4575 t0 55000. Mr. Taylor
is a caustic writer, and concludes his letter
as follows:
I do not know of any sales in that vicinity by
which its market value could be judged, and
therefore think it largely a inntterof conject
ure. But having had an opportunity ot ob-
Bervinn the radical views of your Assessor,
think his valuation probably fair.
I am glad to be on his side for once, and la
boring under the impression that you wish to
sustain him, urpe that the assessment made by
him be not changed. As 1 cannot be present
he probably might appear in my behtilf.
A Challenge Accepted.
Company G has accepted a challenge to
meet fifteen members of Captain Turner's
company of the Naval Battalion in a shoot
ing match at the Hijjh-street range, to
take place within a fortnight. Tlu- match
will be for a trophy valued at $10, the day
of the competition to be determined yet.
The local company is desirous of making
the match one for twenty men.
Pneumatic Iticycle Saddle.
A local expert cyclist has patented a
pneumatic saddle, for which ho claims
many advantages over the present ieather
affair. It is inflated around the sides and
hollow in the center. Mr. Gorbam claims
that one forgets many of the difficulties
and hardships of a long trip when riding
one of these saddles. The invention will
be placed on the market shortly.
Her V. iinl lg Gone.
In the suit of M. G. Strong for divorce
against his wife, Emma L. Strong, now a
resident of Spokane, Wash., trial has been
set by Judge Ogden for September 23. De
positions have been tiled by Dr. C. S.
Kolb and George Thomas of Spokane to
the effect that she is not of sound mind or
able to have her deposition taken.
The Timepiece Found.
Alfred Earle called at police headquarters
yesterday and reported that a thief had
entered his room on Park street and stolen
a silver watch. However, after a search,
the timepiece was found tucked under the
mattress.
