LATEST OAKLAND NEWS Open War Between the Mayor and His Fellow-Com- missioners. MUHLNER WAS ARRAIGNED. Everything Is In Readiness for the Phantasma This Even- Ing. Oakland Office Sax Francisco Call,^ 908 Broadway, August 21. ) The open rupture thas occurred at last night's Board of Works between the Mayor and his fellow-Commissioners, as told ex- clusively in this morning's Call, was wid- ened to-day. The Mayor, to show his utter disregard for City Engineer Wilson's opin- ion on the subject, this morning appointed W. F. Boardman, an expert, to look into the proposition. The Mayor is justified in doing this under section 34 of the city charter, which says it is the duty of the Mayor to appoint an expert to expert the books, conditions and affairs of the city. Mr. Peirsol remarked this morning that he was not inclined to quarrel with the Mayor. "I willattend to my duties," he said, "and I hope the Mayor willattend to his. Ido not intend to pay any attention to his criticism as far as I am concerned. Let him. talk about me if it gives him any satisfaction. I will talk to him when I have matters of business that require me to do so, but not otherwise." City Engineer Wilson said this after- noon": '•! am satisfied that any expert should examine into the work and 1 am confident that my position in the matter trill be sustained." The whole trouble lies in the fact that Mayor Davie would rather take the opinion of Captain Badger, a re- tired seafaring man, than mine. Badger wants the sewer built ajpng Seventh ave- nue, so that it would become necessary to extend that street to the water front and thereby increase the value of his property. 1 consider that a 12-inch, vitrified iron- stone pipe sewer is sufficiently large ; better a great deal than an 18-inch cement sewer. But Davie wants to show fight, and I am willing that he should have all the opportunity in that line that he de- sires." ' ''I ordered the Street Superintendent to stop work on the sewer to-day," remarked Mayor Davie to-day; "but he said he wouldn't do it without an opinion from Peirsol. An opinion from Peirsol! Wouldn't that make one laugh; I in- spected the work to-day, and it is positively disgraceful the wav the sewer is Being con- structed. Several l§-inch pipes are intended to!dram into this 12-inch pipe, and in con- nection witli it a piece of redwood is being constructed. Think of a redwood box sewer, which, at the longest, is only good for ten years. The 12-inch sewer willbe clogged up at the first heavy rainfall. Be- sides $500 of the city's money is being un- necessarily expended on that part of the seWer on Eighth street, between Fourth . arid Fifth avenues, where a sewer has already been laid at private cost. It is my . opinion that Wilson is incompetent and knows nothing about sewer building."' \u25a0 City Attorney Peirsol has appointed as hja. assistant Clarence E. Crowell, a young Republican attorney. An unsuccessful fiuhit w.as made fora young Populist named \u25a0' E'lley. Captain Badger said to-day that his re- marks referring to the railroad company owning all the city engineers were too brash, and not made while the board was in session. His remarks were intended to relate more than anything else to the pres- ent administration. LOOSE WORK SOMEWHERE. A Prisoner Two Months In Jail and No Information Filed. Application was made to Judge Frick to-day for the release of George Wickham, because he had been two months in jail, and the statutory time had elapsed for filing an information and it had not been filed. Wickham was held to answer by Judge Clift on June 25, and no attention was paid to his case tillyesterday. Carl Wood, representing the District Attorney's office, contended that his office had not heard of the case till August 1. They still had several days to attend to the matter. Attorney Cram argued that Wickham had been in jail for two months and had not been arraigned, and was entitled to his discharge. Judge Frick postponed the matter for a short time for an investiga- tion to be made. The papers could not be found by the District Attorney, and to-day they turned up in Justice Clift's court, where they had been mislaid. By an ex- amination* of the papers it was found that there was a few minutes left in which to file an information and it was hastily placed with the County Clerk. Cram has protested against the proceedings and will make the most of his point. MFHLXER IS ARRAIGNED, Hli Attorney Highly Pleased With the Coroner's Verdict. Louis A. Muhlner was arraigned in the Police Court this morning and pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering Miss Jennie Lewis. Saturday next was set as the time for the preliminary examination. Attorney Nagle is Tery much elated over the verdict of the Coroner's jury. "It virtually exonerates my client," he said. 'I don't think that there is any evidence to connect Muhlner with the murder. The most important witness, Miss Alice Spar- hawk, the nurse, says that the man she saw was noi Muhlner. Mr. Shafter's testi- mony that he saw Muhlner go by about 3 o'clock, and Dr. Mooar's that Muhlner was not there at twenty minutes to 4, seem to me to favor my client." The police still maintain that they have a good case against Muhlner and say that the Coroner's inquest was no guide to the examination. It is probable that Miss 6parkhawk will not be called by the prose- cution. Should she appear as a witness for the defense this will give the police an opportunity to confront her with the state- ments- which she made to them directly after the shooting. This will tend to weaken her evidence very materially. THE PHANTASMA. JLadJes of the Women'i Exchange Pre- dict a Fine Show. There was a rehearsal this afternoon of the young ladies who willtake part in the Phantasma for the benefit of the Woman's Exchange at the Oakland Theater to- morrow night. The Trilbies and Graces and Goddesses and alleeorical poses were nil on hand and were initiated into the mysteries -of Grecian draperies and Roman cloaks. The parts are not changed from the list published some days ago in The Call. Miss Lillian Ina Gerrish, the famous child whistler, will render two numbers, and the other soloists will sing as already stated. Everything points to a successful open- ing to-morrow night, as the seats aregoinp rapidly. The ladies have taken great of- fense at some of the published reports of the proceedings. They claim that an effort has teen made to represent the Phantasma as a French show that should be viewed with suspicion. It is nothing of the kind, but a beautiful series of living pictures and dissolving statuary, interspersed with high- class music. The football team, the militia, the tennis tableaux and the orchestra con- cluded their rehearsal last evening. :; A Salvationist's Funeral. Benjamin F. Packwood, a Salvation Army captain, was buried from the army citadel on Washington otreet this after- noon. He was 34 years of age and had been an, officer about r eight years. The .funeral services were conducted by Briga- dier Keppel. Atthe close of thVservices the pall-bearers, Cadets Jensen, Wardel, Miller, Roleus, Linnell and Hill, n carried the casket to the hearse, and the sorrowing comrades and relatives followed them to the grave in Mountain View Cemetery. Captain Packwood had relatives in San Luis Obispo who are very well off. Miller's Circus Experience. Deputy Sheriff Miller went to the circus last night to serve . papers -on two delin- quent bicycle riders. He now wishes he had not.gone, His presence at the circus was made known, and about twenty-five attaches of \u0084 the show surrounded the Sheriff and prevented him from carrying out his mission. This ' enabled the parties wanted to evade the service of the sum- mons. Miller says that the next time he tackles circus men it will be when they are doing their trick in the ring,"and not when they are outside among their friends. The bicycle riders escaped. "The Crime of a Century." The new play, "The Crime of a Century." that deals with many of the incidents of the Durrant case, was produced for the first time at the Dietz Opera-house to-nisht. The play has evidently been considerably expurgated since its production was first contemplated and is not as sensational as many melodramatic, tragedies produced on second-class stages. The piece was fairly well put on and acted, ana there was a good attendance. It willfinish the week. The Lady and the Law Association. Miss Florence Lane is not easily sup- pressed. She appeared at the regular meet- ing of the Alameda County Law Associa- tion, but was not permitted to enter the meeting-room. She bad gone prepared to enter a protest against the action of the "Low''Association, as she termed it, in not admitting her to membership. Her protest was not received and she was -.induced to leave. She has several champions in the association, and it is evident she does not intend to be conquered without a struggle. Love and Betrayal. Miss Mabel Haggard was the complain- ing witness in the charge of deception against . W. R. Walker to-day. She testi- fied that she had been engaged to Walker till April 1. She said she would not marry him now, and would not have done so last April. She said she would with- draw the charge if Walker would give her $100. Walker has recently married, and declares he was only one of Miss Hag- gard's many lovers. This she denies. Must Pay a License. Louis Auver, a barkeeper of the broad- guage ferry-boats, was found guilty this morning of selling liquor on the Oakland side of the bay without a license. Judge Wood sentenced him to pay a fine of $25. This will make a test case for all the boats and will be appealed to the Superior Court. Two other cases are pending, but sentence will not be pronounced till Sep- tember 3. •-V \u25a0:;\u25a0/ Dr. Searing's Sudden Death. <".*\u25a0?;_'.. Dr. 0. W.

Boarding-House Keepers Cheated Promiscuously Proposed Bottle Works. BERKELEY, Cal., Aug. 21.—The fresh- men at the university still continue to be the source of fun and amusement for the frolicsome upper classmen. Hazing in a mild form and practical jokes of every de- scription are practiced daily upon the ver- dant youths just from the country. Though no one, as far as is known, has suffered bodily harm from being wheedled into doing some of the most absurd and ridiculous acts known to the college lad, yet in numerous cases they have under- gone considerable mental agony atter hav- ing had the hoodwink removed by the de- signing tricksters. \u25a0 Sophomores fitted out in the garb of mil- itary authorities have sat at desks and listened to the woeful tales of freshmen whose physicians had declared them phys- ically unable to drill in the battalion; seniors with glasses and a dignified bear- ine have had numberless youths escorted to their sides and have been consulted as to the proper course in "history" or "mathematics" for them to pursue; one man has been made to believe that he is the strongest member of his class, and daily he practices lifting heavy weights until he actually becomes blue in the face; applications have been made to the re- corder of the faculties for "meal tickets," and inquiries extended as to how late at night freshmen are allowed to go about. These are only a few of the methods of "joshing" the "freshies" that have been resorted to. This morning a particularly "green" member of the class of '99 appeared be- fore the librarian and after bowing in a manner indicative of the most extreme humility presented him with a "certificate of good moral character" signed by "Pro- fessor Tait." The keeper of the university books was somewhat at a loss at nrst to know what to say in response, but seeing the lad's predicament assured him that he believed in bia honorable motives and purity of character. The faculty have taken no hand in the matter of preventing the traditional college customs from being practiced since no one has been sufficiently tortured to demand summary action on their part. Boarding-House Keepers Duped. A short time ago a middle-aged man giving the name of Henzey went the rounds among the boarding-house keepers of Berkeley, securing meals and a few nights' lodging without making the slight- est pretense toward paying for them. During the last few days another person, a woman this time, has been engaged in the same operations, and last evening she ap- B eared at a family boarding - house on hapel street, purporting to"be a repre- sentative of the Students' Aid Society, and asked ifshe could sample the landlady's dinner. She gave as her reason for this proposition that she was the boarding- house agent of the society, and it was necessary that she should become thor- oughly informed as to the merits of the house before being able to recommend it to stndent applicants. Upon inquiry it was found that no such work has been au- thorized by the Aid Society. No less than ten complaints have come recently from keepers of boarding-houses who have been duped in one way or another. New Bottle Factory. The West Berkeley Progressive Club met last evening and completed the contract for the $3500 bonus offered for the erection in West Berkeley of the proposed bottle factory. The conditions of the agreement specify that the subscriptions will be void unless the total amount is paid in within ninety days after the Ist of September, and the fourteen lots offered are purchased by that time at a cost not to exceed $1000. In case the subscriptions are not completed at the time specified, the property will be sold and the proceeds divided pro rata among the subscribers. University Receptions. Plans are being developed among the students of the university to tender the victorious track team a grand reception at Stiles Hall at some date in the near future, and also to give the customary annual re- ception to the freshman class. "Bi- Weekly Josh." A comic paper entitled the Bi-Weeky Josh is about to be published by a number of amateur university artists. The first issue is expected to appear miring the week of September 1. Most of the subjects of caricature will be entirely foreign to the nniversity, with an occasional allusion to local matters. Those in charge of the project are Quinan, '9?, Jackson. '96, and Steele, '98. College >ii«f lit at the Fair. Aproposition has been made by the au- thorities in charge of the Mechanics' Fair in San Francisco to set aside the evening of August 31 as a college night, with the purpose of having the students of both the University of California and Stanford present. Burned With Lye. Gracie, the youngest daughter of S. C. Partridge, came near losing her life by ac- cidentally coming in contact with concen- trated lye, which had been used for clean- ing glass. An antidote was administered in time and she is in a fairway of recovery. Her face and mouth were badly burned. NOT FIT FOR A VOTER. An Applicant for Registration Who Can Neither Read Nor Write. County Clerk Jordan In Doubt— The Man Has Been Natural- ized. Oakland Office San Francisco Caix,) 908 Broadway, Aug. 21. | A foreigner with an unpronounceable name ending in "o" applied to County Clerk Jordan to-day to be registered. "What is your name?" asked the clerk. Mr. Jordan does not remember exactly what the man said. "Write your name down here, so that I can copy it without an error," said Jordan. The applicant took the proffered pen and stared vacantly around, but finally made the Clerk understand that he didnot know what the pen was for and that he could not write. "W T ell, can you read?" asked the Clerk. "Yes; read good," was the reply. "What does it say here?" he was asked. The applicant was dumb, but finally ex- plained, with much difficulty, that he could not read. "Show me your naturalization papers," said Jordan. The man produced them. They were made out in New York, and were in per- fect order. To test the man Clerk Jordan gave him to understand that the papers he presented were not naturalization papers, and that he must have changed them somewhere. For several minutes the ap- plicant was confused, but seemed consid- erably relieved when the Clerk suddenly discovered that the papers were all right. The applicant did not appear to know whether he was presenting naturalization papers or something else. The Clerk then refused to register the applicant, and told him to come back to-morrow morning. In the meantime the matter will be passed upon by the District Attorney. "There have been several very ignorant cases," said County Clerk Jordan to-day, "but this is the worst of the lot. Person- ally I set a higher value upon the re- sponsibility of voting than to register such applicants, but after he is naturalized per- haps lam forced to do so. I have sub- mitted the question to the District Attor- ney's office." The Frolt-Growerß* Bank. The Fruit-Growers' Bank of Fullerton, Orange County, has applied to the Bank Commission- ers for a license to carry on a general banking business.

The Police Commissioners met last night and heard the charges of unofficer-like conduct against three patrolmen. The charges against Elliott Farley and John Porter were dismissed, but James Aitken was fined $10. The charge against him was preferred by William Fahey, proprietor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel BRITISH LIONS MUST GO Populists Object to Their Guarding the Hall of Records. AMERICAN EAGLES WANTED. A Growing Agitation That Will Doubtless Result In a Change Shortly. Oakland Office San Fraxcisco Call,) 908 Broadway. Aug. 21. j The Populisl county officials whose daily duties take them to the Hall of Records have inaugurated a war against the Brit- ish lions which guard the entrance to the county building. Democratic and Republican officials have passed these lions daily for fifteen years, but their patriotism has never been ruffled. But County Treasurer Sanford and County School Superintendent Gar- lick are offended and their indignation has been communicated to the other officials. County Clerk Jordan had never been both- ered with them till told that the Populists proposed to petition the Supervisors to have them removed, and now he is as in- dignant as Assessor Dalton. The lions are life-size and cast in iron. They are fac-similes of the heraldic British lion couchant that appear on British coats- of-arms. The animals have ferocious countenances that repose on two vicious- looking paws. Each has a flowing mane and a tail that if itwere not of iron the Populist officials would like to twist off. "They must be removed," said Treasurer Sanford to-day, "and I think we ought to content ourselves with our eagle. Those British lions might have been suitable ornaments to the old courthouse at Phila- delphia prior to 1776, but they are out of place here and should not be tolerated. I never could understand why they were placed there. However, I think their lives are short now." The presence of the lions is easily ex- plained. The architect of the building was William Stokes, an Englishman, who was always extolling his and who never lost anfopportunity to give a British touch to any building he constructed. He supervised the construction of the build- ing, and to gratify his vanity he placed two large British lions to guard the en- trance. It was recalled to-day that Stokes boasted at the time that the lions were modeled after the beasts that are placed on either side of the entrance to the barracks of the Horse Guards at Whitehall, London. A petition will shortly be presented to the Supervisors asking that the lions be removed and replaced with American eagles. Nothing short of noble birds with fierce beaks and talons and outspread wings protecting the shield emblazoned with stars and stripes will satisfy the popu- lar demand, and it is considered certain that the Supervisors willgrant the request. County Clerk Jordan has no love for the British beasts, and is earnestly advocating the substitution of eagles for lions. "I think this agitation is not any too soon," he said to-day. "Wnatdo we want with British lions guarding our Hall of Records? They are a fatting remnant of Stokes' job. The building of this hall was wound up by the Grand Jury, and nobody acquainted with the facts wants such a memorial of Stokes around here." The agitation against the British lions was really commenced by ex-Supervisor Plunkett, but his sudden death last fall caused the matter to drop. It has now been revived in earnest, and the objection- able beasts bid fair to soon ornament some Anglomaniac's lawn or to be recast into lamp posts or sewer-pipes.

No Agreement Wan Reached in the Matter or a Building Site. The trustees of the Atliliated Colleges held a spirited meeting last night at the Office of Dr. J. Beverly Cole, 82f> Putter street, bat arrived at no conclusion on the matter in discussion, the selecting of a site for the building of the new college. Both the Sutro site and the Potrero site were favored. The contention over the merits of the two localities became warm at times, and the advocates of each were unwilling to concede the claims of the other. Another meeting will be held two weeks hence in the hope that the differences may be adjusted and an agreement reached. ROMANCE OF FRESNO DAY Mrs. Roundey of East Oakland Again Becomes Mrs. Bissell. Saw Her Divorced Husband at the Fair, Is Divorced Again and Remarries Him. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, August 21. j Another romance of the Midwinter Fair has just had its denoument in the marriage of Mrs. Roundey of East Oakland to Mr. Bissell of Fresno. Mrs. Roundey was di- vorced from Mr. Bissell fifteen years ago and is now visiting her Oakland friends and telling the story of how she became Mrs. Bissell the second time. More than twenty years ago Mrs. Roun- dey, who is a member of the wealthy Crit- tenden family of San Pablo avenue, mar- ried Bisseil, who is a saloon-keeper at Travers, near Fresno. For a few years the couple lived happily, but about six- teen years ago trouble sprung up and the Bissells were divorced. Mrs. Bissell took up her residence in Oakland and suc- ceeded in winning the affections of John L. Roundey, who nas for many years been employed in the San Francisco Custom- house. At the time of meeting with Mrs. Bis- sell, Mr. Roundey was a widower, witn a small family. The children were being cared for at the Temescal Home. After the marriage the children were at once taken to the home of the Roundeys, in East OaKland, and the family was looked upon as one of the Happiest in the neigh- borhood. The children grew up into young men and women, and all the family rela- tionships were of the most harmonious na- ture. This state of affairs continued for fifteen years and then it was very apparent that there was trouble in the Roundey household. No one knew the secret, but it became daily more evident that Mrs. Roundey 'B second marriage was going the way of the first. After a good deal of minor scandalizing, Mr. Roundey was eventually awarded a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty. What the cruelty consisted of did not appear, and everybody knew that there was a skeleton in the closet that had been carefully concealed. Now the secret is out. Mrs. Roundey was in the habit of mak- ing frequent visits to the Midwinter Fair. Her stepdaughters accompanied her on most occasions, but toward the close of the fair Mrs. Roundey went several times with no companion. On one occasion, while inspecting the Fresno exhibit on Fresno County day, she saw her first husband, whom she had not heard of since their di- vorce fifteen years ago. The recognition was mutual, and the visits to the fair and the Freßno exhibit became more numer- ous. After a few glances » new acquaint- anceship was formed, and the flames of love that were first lighted over twenty years ago were ekindled. Mrs. Roundey was anxious to become Mrs. Bissell again. Their affection for each other was care- fullykept from Mr. Roundey, but very graaualiv the groundwork of a divorce was laid, and whether Mr. Roundey's charges of cruelty were based on his wife's transfer of her love or on some other reason no one knew. After the divorce, about a year ago, Mrs. Roundey disappeared from Oakland, and Mr.Rounaey's eldest daughter became his housekeeper. The family still lives at the same home. Yesterday Mrs. Roundey astonished her friends by telling them that she is again Mrs. Bissell, and has been such for several weeks. She refers with much satisfaction to the result of her visit to the Midwinter Fair on Fresno day. LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA No Date Set for the Race Be- tween El Sueno and the Queen. Nonsuits on the Ground That the Record of the Assessment Rolls Was Not Authenticated. ALAMEDA,Cal., Aug. 21.— The regatta committee held a meeting this evening to discuss the coming race between the Sueno and Queen, but no definite time was agreed upon. There is some talk of holding the race on Admission day, but it is claimed that this would be one day over the limit, the articles concerning cup-racing contain- ing a provision that the race must take place within sixty days after the challenge is accepted. There are some who favor holding the race on Labor day, which is the first Monday in September. Captain Hanley states positively that the crew of the Sueno will not race on Sunday. The captain is anxious to have the race take place as soon as possible, as itis his inten- tion to go East in time to see the great in- ternational race between the Defender and Valkyrie Hi in New York Bay. Assessment Rolls Illegal. Nonsuits were granted in the Superior Court yesterday in sixteen cases. The California Improvement Company was the plaintiff and the suits were to foreclose for street improvements. The nonsuits were on the ground that the record of the as- sessment rolls made by the City Engineer of Alameda had not been duly authenti- cated by the Street Superintendent. They had in fact been engrossed correctly upon the records, but attested by the signature of the Superintendent's clerk, the State law requiring that such attestation must be by the Superintendent. The cases in question were under the law of 1891, which has been amended. Other improvements in Alameda may be affected by the technical ruling. The com- pany to eecure itself must have the as- sessment rolls again presented to the Street Superintendent and have them cor- rectly recorded with his signature. Death From Consumption. Joseph Fortes died at his home on Stan- ton street, near Santa Clara avenue, on Tuesday evening from consumption. The deceased had been a resident of Alameda for about a quarter of a century and was a native of Cape Verde Islands. This is the second death to occur in Alameda during the currpnt month.

LATEST OAKLAND NEWSOpen War Between the Mayor

and His Fellow-Com-missioners.

MUHLNER WAS ARRAIGNED.

Everything Is In Readiness forthe Phantasma This Even-

Ing.

Oakland Office Sax Francisco Call,^908 Broadway, August 21. )

The open rupture thas occurred at lastnight's Board of Works between the Mayorand his fellow-Commissioners, as told ex-clusively in this morning's Call, was wid-ened to-day. The Mayor, to show his utterdisregard for City Engineer Wilson's opin-ion on the subject, this morning appointedW. F. Boardman, an expert, to look intothe proposition. The Mayor is justified indoing this under section 34 of the citycharter, which says it is the duty of theMayor to appoint an expert to expertthe books, conditions and affairs of thecity.

Mr.Peirsol remarked this morning thathe was not inclined to quarrel with theMayor. "Iwillattend to my duties," hesaid, "and Ihope the Mayor willattend tohis. Ido not intend to pay any attentionto his criticism as far as Iam concerned.Let him. talk about me ifit gives him anysatisfaction. Iwill talk to him when Ihave matters of business that require meto do so, but not otherwise."

City Engineer Wilson said this after-noon": '•! am satisfied that any expertshould examine into the work and 1amconfident that my position in the mattertrillbe sustained." The whole trouble liesin the fact that Mayor Davie would rathertake the opinion of Captain Badger, a re-tired seafaring man, than mine. Badgerwants the sewer built ajpng Seventh ave-nue, so that itwould become necessary toextend that street to the water front andthereby increase the value of his property.1 consider that a 12-inch, vitrified iron-stone pipe sewer is sufficiently large ;better a great deal than an 18-inch cementsewer. But Davie wants to show fight,and Iam willing that he should have allthe opportunity in that line that he de-sires."

'

''Iordered the Street Superintendent tostop work on the sewer to-day," remarkedMayor Davie to-day; "but he said hewouldn't do it without an opinion fromPeirsol. An opinion from Peirsol!Wouldn't that make one laugh; Iin-spected the work to-day, and itis positivelydisgraceful the wav the sewer is Being con-structed. Several l§-inchpipes are intendedto!dram into this 12-inch pipe, and in con-nection witliita piece of redwood is beingconstructed. Think of a redwood boxsewer, which, at the longest, is only goodfor ten years. The 12-inch sewer willbeclogged up at the first heavy rainfall. Be-sides $500 of the city's money is being un-necessarily expended on that part of theseWer on Eighth street, between Fourth

. arid Fifth avenues, where a sewer hasalready been laid at private cost. Itis my

. opinion that Wilson is incompetent andknows nothing about sewer building."'

\u25a0 City Attorney Peirsol has appointed ashja.assistant Clarence E. Crowell, a young

•Republican attorney. An unsuccessfulfiuhit w.as made fora young Populist named

\u25a0' E'lley.Captain Badger said to-day that his re-

marks referring to the railroad companyowning all the city engineers were toobrash, and not made while the board wasin session. His remarks were intended torelate more than anything else to the pres-ent administration.

LOOSE WORK SOMEWHERE.

A Prisoner Two Months In Jail and NoInformation Filed.

Application was made to Judge Frickto-day for the release of George Wickham,because he had been twomonths in jail,and the statutory time had elapsed for filingan information and it had not been filed.Wickham was held to answer by JudgeClift on June 25, and no attention was paidto his case tillyesterday.

Carl Wood, representing the DistrictAttorney's office, contended that his officehad not heard of the case till August 1.They still had several days to attend tothe matter.

Attorney Cram argued that Wickhamhad been in jailfor two months and hadnot been arraigned, and was entitled tohis discharge. Judge Frick postponed thematter for a short time for an investiga-tion to be made. The papers could not befound by the District Attorney, and to-daythey turned up in Justice Clift's court,where they had been mislaid. By an ex-amination* of the papers itwas found thatthere was a few minutes left in which tofile an information and it was hastilyplaced with the County Clerk. Cram hasprotested against the proceedings and willmake the most of his point.

MFHLXER IS ARRAIGNED,

HliAttorney Highly Pleased With theCoroner's Verdict.

Louis A. Muhlner was arraigned in thePolice Court this morning and pleaded notguilty to the charge of murdering MissJennie Lewis. Saturday next was set as

the time for the preliminary examination.Attorney Nagle is Tery much elated over

the verdict of the Coroner's jury. "Itvirtually exonerates my client," he said.'Idon't think that there is any evidenceto connect Muhlner with the murder. Themost important witness, Miss Alice Spar-hawk, the nurse, says that the man shesaw was noi Muhlner. Mr.Shafter's testi-mony that he saw Muhlner go by about3 o'clock, and Dr. Mooar's that Muhlnerwas not there at twenty minutes to 4,seem to me to favor my client."

The police still maintain that they havea good case against Muhlner and say thatthe Coroner's inquest was no guide to theexamination. It is probable that Miss6parkhawk willnot be called by the prose-cution. Should she appear as a witnessfor the defense this will give the police anopportunity to confront her with the state-ments- which she made to them directlyafter the shooting. This will tend toweaken her evidence very materially.

THE PHANTASMA.

JLadJes of the Women'i Exchange Pre-dict a Fine Show.

There was a rehearsal this afternoon ofthe young ladies who willtake part in thePhantasma for the benefit of the Woman'sExchange at the Oakland Theater to-morrow night. The Trilbies and Gracesand Goddesses and alleeorical poses were

nil on hand and were initiated into themysteries -of Grecian draperies and Romancloaks. The parts are not changed fromthe list published some days ago in TheCall. Miss Lillian Ina Gerrish, thefamous child whistler, will render twonumbers, and the other soloists will singas already stated.

Everything points to a successful open-ing to-morrow night, as the seats aregoinprapidly. The ladies have taken great of-fense at some of the published reports ofthe proceedings. They claim that an efforthas teen made to represent the Phantasmaas a French show that should be viewedwith suspicion. Itis nothing of the kind,but a beautiful series of livingpictures anddissolving statuary, interspersed withhigh-class music. The football team, the militia,the tennis tableaux and the orchestra con-cluded their rehearsal last evening.:; A Salvationist's Funeral.

Benjamin F. Packwood, a SalvationArmy captain, was buried from the armycitadel on Washington otreet this after-

noon. He was 34 years of age and hadbeen an, officer about r eight years. The

.funeral services were conducted by Briga-dier Keppel. Atthe close of thVservicesthe pall-bearers, Cadets Jensen, Wardel,Miller,Roleus, Linnell and Hill,ncarriedthe casket to the hearse, and the sorrowingcomrades and relatives followed them tothe grave inMountain View Cemetery.

Captain Packwood had relatives in SanLuis Obispo who are very well off.

Miller's Circus Experience.Deputy Sheriff Millerwent to the circus

last night to serve .papers -on two delin-quent bicycle riders. He now wishes hehad not.gone, His presence at the circuswas made known, and about twenty-fiveattaches of \u0084 the show surrounded theSheriff and prevented him from carryingout his mission. This

'enabled the parties

wanted to evade the service of the sum-mons. Miller says that the next time hetackles circus men it willbe when they aredoing their trick in the ring,"and not whenthey are outside among their friends. Thebicycle riders escaped.

"The Crime of a Century."The new play, "The Crime of a Century."

that deals with many of the incidents ofthe Durrant case, was produced for thefirst time at the Dietz Opera-house to-nisht.The play has evidently been considerablyexpurgated since its production was firstcontemplated and is not as sensational asmany melodramatic, tragedies produced onsecond-class stages. The piece was fairlywell put on and acted, ana there was agood attendance. Itwillfinish the week.

The Lady and the Law Association.Miss Florence Lane is not easily sup-

pressed. She appeared at the regular meet-ing of the Alameda County Law Associa-tion, but was not permitted to enter themeeting-room. She bad gone prepared toenter a protest against the action of the"Low''Association, as she termed it, innotadmitting her to membership. Her protestwas not received and she was -.induced toleave. She has several champions in theassociation, and itis evident she does notintend to be conquered without a struggle.

Love and Betrayal.

Miss Mabel Haggard was the complain-ing witness in the charge of deceptionagainst .W. R. Walker to-day. She testi-fied that she had been engaged to Walkertill April 1. She said she would notmarry him now, and would not have doneso last April. She said she would with-draw the charge if Walker would give her$100. Walker has recently married, anddeclares he was only one of Miss Hag-gard's many lovers. This she denies.

Must Pay a License.

Louis Auver, a barkeeper of the broad-guage ferry-boats, was found guilty thismorning of selling liquor on the Oaklandside of the bay without a license. JudgeWood sentenced him to pay a fine of $25.This willmake a test case forall the boatsand will be appealed to the SuperiorCourt. Two other cases are pending, butsentence willnot be pronounced tillSep-tember 3.

LATEST BERKELEY ITEMSSophomores and Upper Class-

men Have Much Sport

With the Freshmen.

Boarding-House Keepers CheatedPromiscuously

—Proposed

Bottle Works.

BERKELEY, Cal., Aug. 21.—The fresh-men at the university still continue to bethe source of fun and amusement for thefrolicsome upper classmen. Hazing inamild form and practical jokes of every de-scription are practiced daily upon the ver-dant youths just from the country.

Though no one, as far as is known, hassuffered bodily harm from being wheedledinto doing some of the most absurd andridiculous acts known to the college lad,yet in numerous cases they have under-gone considerable mental agony atter hav-ing had the hoodwink removed by the de-signing tricksters.

\u25a0 Sophomores fitted out in the garb of mil-itary authorities have sat at desks andlistened to the woeful tales of freshmenwhose physicians had declared them phys-ically unable to drill in the battalion;seniors with glasses and a dignified bear-ine have had numberless youths escortedto their sides and have been consulted asto the proper course in "history" or"mathematics" for them to pursue; oneman has been made to believe that he isthe strongest member of his class, anddaily he practices lifting heavy weightsuntil he actually becomes blue in the face;applications have been made to the re-corder of the faculties for "meal tickets,"and inquiries extended as to how late atnight freshmen are allowed to go about.

These are only a few of the methods of"joshing" the "freshies" that have beenresorted to.

This morning a particularly "green"member of the class of '99 appeared be-fore the librarian and after bowing in amanner indicative of the most extremehumility presented him with a "certificateof good moral character" signed by "Pro-fessor Tait." The keeper of the universitybooks was somewhat at a loss at nrst toknow what to say inresponse, but seeingthe lad's predicament assured him that hebelieved in bia honorable motives and

purity of character. The faculty havetaken no hand in the matter of preventingthe traditional college customs from beingpracticed since no one has been sufficientlytortured to demand summary action ontheir part.

Boarding-House Keepers Duped.

A short time ago a middle-aged mangiving the name of Henzey went therounds among the boarding-house keepersof Berkeley, securing meals and a fewnights' lodging withoutmaking the slight-est pretense toward paying for them.During the last few days another person, awoman this time, has been engaged in thesame operations, and last evening she ap-

Beared at a family boarding-

house onhapel street, purporting to"be a repre-

sentative of the Students' Aid Society, andasked ifshe could sample the landlady'sdinner. She gave as her reason for thisproposition that she was the boarding-house agent of the society, and it wasnecessary that she should become thor-oughly informed as to the merits of thehouse before being able to recommend itto stndent applicants. Upon inquiry itwas found that no such work has been au-thorized by the Aid Society.

No less than ten complaints have comerecently from keepers of boarding-houseswho have been duped in one way oranother.

New Bottle Factory.

The West Berkeley Progressive Club metlast evening and completed the contractfor the $3500 bonus offered for the erectionin West Berkeley of the proposed bottlefactory.

The conditions of the agreement specifythat the subscriptions willbe void unlessthe total amount is paid in withinninetydays after the Ist of September, and thefourteen lots offered are purchased by thattime at a cost not to exceed $1000. In casethe subscriptions are not completed at thetime specified, the property will be soldand the proceeds divided pro rata amongthe subscribers.

University Receptions.

Plans are being developed among thestudents of the university to tender thevictorious track team a grand reception atStiles Hall at some date in the near future,and also to give the customary annual re-ception to the freshman class.

NOT FIT FOR A VOTER.An Applicant for Registration

Who Can Neither ReadNor Write.

County Clerk Jordan In Doubt—TheMan Has Been Natural-

ized.

Oakland Office San Francisco Caix,)908 Broadway, Aug. 21. |

A foreigner with an unpronounceablename ending in "o" applied to CountyClerk Jordan to-day to be registered.

"What is your name?" asked the clerk.Mr. Jordan does not remember exactlywhat the man said.

"Write your name down here, so that Ican copy itwithout an error," said Jordan.

The applicant took the proffered pen andstared vacantly around, but finally madethe Clerk understand that he didnot knowwhat the pen was for and that he couldnot write.

"WTell, can you read?" asked the Clerk."Yes; read good," was the reply."What does itsay here?" he was asked.The applicant was dumb, but finallyex-

plained, with much difficulty, that hecould not read.

"Show me your naturalization papers,"said Jordan.

The man produced them. They weremade out inNew York, and were in per-fect order. To test the man Clerk Jordangave him to understand that the papers hepresented were not naturalization papers,and that he must have changed themsomewhere. For several minutes the ap-plicant was confused, but seemed consid-erably relieved when the Clerk suddenlydiscovered that the papers were all right.The applicant did not appear to knowwhether he was presenting naturalizationpapers or something else. The Clerk thenrefused to register the applicant, and toldhim to come back to-morrow morning. Inthe meantime the matter willbe passedupon by the District Attorney.

"There have been several very ignorantcases," said County Clerk Jordan to-day,"but this is the worst of the lot. Person-ally Iset a higher value upon the re-sponsibility of voting than to register suchapplicants, but after he is naturalized per-haps lam forced to do so. Ihave sub-mitted the question to the District Attor-ney's office."

BRITISH LIONS MUST GOPopulists Object to Their

Guarding the Hall ofRecords.

AMERICAN EAGLES WANTED.

A Growing Agitation That WillDoubtless Result In a

Change Shortly.

Oakland Office San Fraxcisco Call,)908 Broadway. Aug. 21. j

The Populisl county officials whose dailyduties take them to the Hall of Recordshave inaugurated a war against the Brit-ish lions which guard the entrance to thecounty building.

Democratic and Republican officialshave passed these lions daily for fifteenyears, but their patriotism has never beenruffled. But County Treasurer Sanfordand County School Superintendent Gar-lick are offended and their indignation hasbeen communicated to the other officials.County Clerk Jordan had never been both-ered with them tilltold that the Populistsproposed to petition the Supervisors tohave them removed, and now he is as in-dignant as Assessor Dalton.

The lions are life-size and cast in iron.They are fac-similes of the heraldic Britishlion couchant that appear on Britishcoats-of-arms. The animals have ferociouscountenances that repose on two vicious-looking paws. Each has a flowing maneand a tail that ifitwere not of iron thePopulist officials would like to twist off.

"They must be removed," said TreasurerSanford to-day, "and Ithink we ought tocontent ourselves with our eagle. ThoseBritish lions might have been suitableornaments to the old courthouse at Phila-

delphia prior to 1776, but they are out ofplace here and should not be tolerated. Inever could understand why they wereplaced there. However,Ithink their livesare short now."

The presence of the lions is easily ex-plained. The architect of the building wasWilliam Stokes, an Englishman, who wasalways extolling his and whonever lost anfopportunity to give a Britishtouch to any building he constructed. Hesupervised the construction of the build-ing, and to gratify his vanity he placedtwo large British lions to guard the en-trance. Itwas recalled to-day that Stokesboasted at the time that the lions weremodeled after the beasts that are placed oneither side of the entrance to the barracksof the Horse Guards at Whitehall, London.

A petition will shortly be presented tothe Supervisors asking that the lions beremoved and replaced with Americaneagles. Nothing short of noble birds withfierce beaks and talons and outspreadwings protecting the shield emblazonedwith stars and stripes willsatisfy the popu-lar demand, and it is considered certainthat the Supervisors willgrant the request.

County Clerk Jordan has no love for theBritish beasts, and is earnestly advocatingthe substitution of eagles for lions. "Ithink this agitation is not any too soon,"he said to-day. "Wnatdo we want withBritish lions guarding our Hall ofRecords? They are a fatting remnant ofStokes' job. The building of this hall waswound up by the Grand Jury, and nobodyacquainted with the facts wants such amemorial of Stokes around here."

The agitation against the British lionswas really commenced by ex-SupervisorPlunkett, but his sudden death last fallcaused the matter to drop. It has nowbeen revived inearnest, and the objection-able beasts bid fair to soon ornament someAnglomaniac's lawn or to be recast intolamp posts or sewer-pipes.

ROMANCE OF FRESNO DAYMrs. Roundey of East Oakland

Again Becomes Mrs.Bissell.

Saw Her Divorced Husband at theFair, Is Divorced Again and

Remarries Him.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)908 Broadway, August 21. j

Another romance of the Midwinter Fairhas just had itsdenoument in the marriageof Mrs. Roundey of East Oakland to Mr.Bissell of Fresno. Mrs. Roundey was di-vorced from Mr.Bissell fifteen years agoand is now visiting her Oakland friendsand telling the story of how she becameMrs. Bissell the second time.

More than twenty years ago Mrs. Roun-dey, who is a member of the wealthy Crit-tenden family of San Pablo avenue, mar-ried Bisseil, who is a saloon-keeper atTravers, near Fresno. For a few yearsthe couple lived happily, but about six-teen years ago trouble sprung up and theBissells were divorced. Mrs. Bissell tookup her residence in Oakland and suc-ceeded in winning the affections of JohnL.Roundey, who nas for many years beenemployed in the San Francisco Custom-house.

Atthe time of meeting with Mrs. Bis-sell, Mr. Roundey was a widower, witn asmall family. The children were beingcared for at the Temescal Home. Afterthe marriage the children were at oncetaken to the home of the Roundeys, inEast OaKland, and the family was lookedupon as one of the Happiest in the neigh-borhood. The children grew up into youngmen and women, and all the family rela-tionships were of the most harmonious na-ture. This state of affairs continued forfifteen years and then itwas very apparentthat there was trouble in the Roundeyhousehold. No one knew the secret, but itbecame daily more evident that Mrs.Roundey 'B second marriage was going theway of the first. After a good deal ofminor scandalizing, Mr. Roundey waseventually awarded a decree of divorce onthe ground of cruelty. What the crueltyconsisted of did not appear, and everybodyknew that there was a skeleton in thecloset that had been carefully concealed.Now the secret is out.

Mrs. Roundey was in the habit of mak-ing frequent visits to the Midwinter Fair.Her stepdaughters accompanied her onmost occasions, but toward the close of thefair Mrs. Roundey went several times withno companion. On one occasion, whileinspecting the Fresno exhibit on FresnoCounty day, she saw her first husband,whom she had not heard of since their di-vorce fifteen years ago. The recognitionwas mutual, and the visits to the fair andthe Freßno exhibit became more numer-ous. Aftera few glances » new acquaint-anceship was formed, and the flames oflove that were first lighted over twentyyears ago were ekindled. Mrs. Roundeywas anxious to become Mrs. Bissell again.

Their affection for each other was care-fullykept from Mr. Roundey, but verygraaualiv the groundwork of a divorcewas laid, and whether Mr. Roundey'scharges of cruelty were based on his wife'stransfer of her love or on some otherreason no one knew.

Afterthe divorce, about a year ago, Mrs.Roundey disappeared from Oakland, andMr.Rounaey's eldest daughter became hishousekeeper. The family still lives at thesame home. Yesterday Mrs. Roundeyastonished her friends by telling themthat she is again Mrs. Bissell, and hasbeen such for several weeks. She referswith much satisfaction to the result of hervisit to the Midwinter Fair on Fresno day.

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDANo Date Set for the Race Be-

tween El Sueno and theQueen.

Nonsuits on the Ground That theRecord of the Assessment Rolls

Was Not Authenticated.

ALAMEDA,Cal., Aug. 21.—The regattacommittee held a meeting this evening todiscuss the coming race between the Suenoand Queen, but no definite time was agreedupon. There is some talk of holding therace on Admission day, but it is claimedthat this would be one day over the limit,the articles concerning cup-racing contain-ing a provision that the race must takeplace within sixty days after the challengeis accepted. There are some who favorholding the race on Labor day, which isthe first Monday in September. CaptainHanley states positively that the crew ofthe Sueno willnot race on Sunday. Thecaptain is anxious to have the race takeplace as soon as possible, as itis his inten-tion to go East in time to see the great in-ternational race between the Defender andValkyrieHiin New York Bay.

Assessment Rolls Illegal.

Nonsuits were granted in the SuperiorCourt yesterday in sixteen cases. TheCalifornia Improvement Company was theplaintiffand the suits were to foreclose forstreet improvements. The nonsuits wereon the ground that the record of the as-sessment rolls made by the City Engineerof Alameda had not been duly authenti-cated by the Street Superintendent. Theyhad in fact been engrossed correctly uponthe records, but attested by the signatureof the Superintendent's clerk, the Statelaw requiring that such attestation mustbe by the Superintendent. The cases inquestion were under the law of 1891, whichhas been amended.

Other improvements in Alameda may beaffected by the technical ruling. The com-pany to eecure itself must have the as-sessment rolls again presented to theStreet Superintendent and have them cor-rectly recorded with his signature.
