CALLED AWAY.
Rev. 0. C, Wheeler Dies at the
Ripe Old Age of 70 Years.
His Life was One of Usefulness; of
Industry, and of Christian
Piety and Fortitude.

After lingering illness the Rev. Os-
good Church Wheeler, one of the earliest
and best citizens of Sacramento, and of
the State, died at his home in Oakland on
Thursday evening at the advanced age of
seventy-eight years. For some weeks
past his death had been momentarily ex-
pected, but the faint spark of life seemed
10th to be extinguished.
Deceased entered the ministry at an
early age and after hard single-handed
struggle with adversely. He left the East
for California in 1913 as a missionary, and
it is claimed that.he was the first Protest
ant clergyman that preached q sermon in
this State. His first work was in San
Francisco, where he erected a primitive
church structure. mostly by his own
hands, and within which he expounded
the gospel until his removal TO Sacra-
mento in 1850.
Here he organized the First Baptist
Church, his first service being held in the
Courthouse at Seventh and K streets.
After years labor in the pulpit he
erected church at Seventh and l. streets.
which was swept away in the great fire of
1852. A new edifice was erected on
Fourth street, between K and l., and
there Mr.. Wheeler preached for many
Years.
In 1854 he was chosen Secretary of the
State Agricultural Society, in which posi-
ton he remained until 1863, when he was
elected Clerk Of the Assembly. He after
ward served as Collector of Internal Rev.
enue under President Lincoln, and was
one Of the most energetic workers in the
Sanitary Commission, which was inStru-
mental in raising so much money for the
relief of the wounded soldiers and priS-
oners Of the Union army during the war.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Wheeler entered
the service of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company as Chief of the Baggage De-
partment, a position that required the
best of clerical and executive ability, and
which he continued to hold until the
worn-out machinery of his frame sue
cumbed to the strain of a long and toll
some life's service.
In May, 1879, the California College con-
ferred upon him the degree of Doctor of
Divinity, and in July of the same year
the University of Jackson Tenn, con-
ferred the degree of Doctor of Laws upon
him. He was prominently connected
with the various branches of the Ma
sonic fraternity, serving several terms as
Grand Chaplain, Grand Prelate of
knights Templar, and Supreme Prelate
of the Sovereign Sanctuary of the Royal
Masonic Rite of the United States. He
was the first Grand Commander of the
American Legion Of Honor Of California,
and was prominently connected with
other fraternal societies.
He married Miss II. e. Hamilton
shortly after he graduated. She died in
1869, leaving a daughter, and in 1871 he
married Miss Ellen r. Frisbie, of Quincy.
H., who survives him. He had been Ill
for more than year past, and for nearly
ten months had not been ont of his resi-
dence. The past nineteen years the de-
ceased had resided in Oakland.

first car ever constructed in California to
be used especially for funerals. The car
is forty-eight feet long and is divided into
four compartments. at one end of the
car there is a compartment for ladies and
IN the center there is room fitted up as
n drawing-room.
Opening off the drawing-room there is
small compartment for the casket. The
gentlemen's lobby is at the further end
OF the car. Opening from the drawing
room there is a side door to permit the re-
moval OF the casllet. This car was espe-
cially constructed for the accommodation
of private funeral parties The car is
handsomely painted and is fitted UP to in

nozzle which had been taken from one of
the pumps at the Huntingdon Hopkins
CompanY's establishment, and which
was found on the sidewalk near by the
broken window. The latter was worth
about 500, but was insured.
The burglars were very daring, for
there is hardly a minute of the day or
night that some one cannot be found on
or near the corner where the robbery was
committed. Indeed, a telegraph mes
senger boy passed the corner only a
moment before the window was broken.
He then saw two men standing there, and
after he had reached the alley on Third
street he heard the crash caused by the
breaking of the glass. Officer Lowell was
soon on the scene, but tae thieves had
got out of sight.

-To-day's Game Here.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE San
Jose team this afternoon, at Emeryville,
shut out the Oaklands by a score of 2 to 0.
The game was a pitchers battle, with
Harper and the new man, Mars, as op-
posing twirlers. Harper was in splendid
form, and was not hit safely once until
the third batter came up in the ninth
inning, and it is a matter of dispute as to
whether or not the play should have been
scored as hit or error. Harper's team
gave him almost perfect support.
Mars, the new Oakland pitcher, prom
ises to make a splendid showing in the
future. He went into the game to-day
without practice, and his fingers were so
tender that the skin peeled off, and he
pitched with bleedinghand. Score:
