After many years of worship in their
small building on Harrison and Four
teenth streets the wealthy and influential
congregation of ST. Paups is taking pre-
liminary steps to build handsome place
of worship that will compare favorabIy

For several years it has been cause of

nifcant building, within couple of blocks
of DR.. Coyle's stately church. The congre-
cation is considered to be one of the
wealthiest in Oakland, and is twice as
large now as when their present house OF
worship was built

Although the officers OF the Mountain

the press a statement that shows their sec
retary, E. P. 0utram, to be defaulter in
the sum OF $500, they have made no re-

1t was stated to-day that the greater
portion of the stolen money was invested
by Outram in what was represented as a
first-class concern by two Oakland men,
and that he fully intended to return it.
His speculation proved a failure and he
took the $500 within ten days of his de-
parture for the purpose Of getting out OF
reach of the law.
Attorney Gray of Fox, Kellogg & Gray

of money which he still has and Mrs. Out

Very gradually the Haywards electric
road is gobbling up all its smaller COMPETE
tors in the express business. The latest
acquisition is the firm of Enos & Amaral of
San Leandro, the purchase of that firm s
business being completed last Saturday.
Not until the electric road to Haywards
had been in operation about three years
did it commence to do freight business
When it started it was in modest way and
little was thought of it until it began to
haul its loaded cars through the main
streets of Oakland. Then the citizens sent
a protest to the Council, but it appeared
that the company was only acting within
it's rights. Then train of cars and coal
wagons were hauled along it's tracks OH
Washington street and out through the
high-toned Lake district, and there was
another protest that availed nothing,
When the electric road entered the
freight business and made up trains OF
several cars the Railroad Commissioners
took up the matter, as the Southern Pa
cific complained that they were cutting
rates and getting altogether too much
business. The Commissioners investigated
the matter, but as yet have not decided
whether or not the electric road comes
within their jurisdiction.
Some time ago the electric road people
bought out the Haywards Express Com
pany's business and have since enjoyed a
monopoly of business from that place
For long time overtures have been made
to the merchants of San Leandro and
Lorenzo to give their business to the cleo
trio road company, but with little success.
As last effort the road bought out the
San Leandro firm of Enos & AmaraI,
which has done the bulk of the business
for years. There is now practically no op-

Tomorrow morning is the day on which
Tax Collector Barber should begin to re-

Pacific Company has notified him that
they will pay at once, and has asked him

the railroad will only pay on the reduced
assessment which Judge Ellsworth has
decided are illegal. Mr.. Barber does not

FEWER ACCIDENTS.
Byron Waters Tells Why Less People
Are Being Injured by the
Electric Cars,


Electric Cars.
According to Byron Waters, the claim
adjuster of the Southern Pacific Company,
the number of accidents on the street rail-
ways is decreasing steadily. This, he
thinks, is due to the fact that the novelty
of the electric system is wearing off,
"There are not half the accidents now
that there were six months ago." he said
yesterday. "When I first came here in
April of this year I received visits from
twenty-five or thirty people daily. All had
complaints of injuries. Now we seldom
have more than ten such visitors in day."
"What is the cause?" was asked.
81 think it is due almost entirely to the
fact that the people and horses are getting
used to the electric-cars. They have grown
accustomed to the mode OF starting the
cars and to their peculiarlties of construc-
| ton. Both the people and the horses also
have learned to gauge the speed of the
pline of our employees is very severe and
they are extremely watchful to avert acci-

"It's not so much matter of tenders as
! people think. When the cable-cars were
first introduced they caused many acci-
dents. The steps of the electric-cars are so
different from those of the cable-cars that
many injuries were caused to people who
did not appreciate this.

Oakland has long been a coveted spot
for termini of aerial railroads and much
interest was shown by the Board of Trade
in the dispatches referring to the road
from Butte, Mont, being promoted by G.
Y. Woodworth. Mr.. Woodworth was in
this city two months ago, although no
mention was made of it at the time, as
the promoters, as usual, desired secrecy.
President Keller of the Board of Trade
tells some humorous incidents connected
with his experience with promoters of
overland railroads who have sounded

Anybody that comes along after this"
said Mr.. Keller to-day, twill be asked to
show his hand at the outset. I am tired of
gentlemen representing capitalists coming
| here and working in the dark on schemes
| that never materialize. Mr.. Woodwork
| was here and was given all possible infor-
nation and asked that his plans be kept
quiet. We obliged him, and heard moth
ing more about him until the dispatches
came from Butte that he is now 'promot-
| ing railroads there. Those gentlemen
always tell US they are not capitalists them
| selves, but merely promoters representing
! capitalists. We are organized for the pur-
pose of imparting just such information as
| these gentlemen ask, but we would like to
know that all the inquirers are acting in
good faith. Mr.. Woodwork talked very
plausibly here. He wanted an agreement,
we'll secured of course, that certain
amount OF stock would be subscribed for
| after the road was in operation and not
before. He did not, to my knowledge, OBJ
tain any direct promise here, and left say
ing he would be heard from very soon.
| We have heard nothing of him since, ex-
cept what has been published in the news
papers.
almost at the same time came Judge
| Simonds of Chicago. He also was pro-
moter representing capitalists, and he
wanted to build a road from here to
Stockton. His road was to be built by the
promoters, and no money was to be asked
from local investors until the road was in
ell the other gentlemen, but l have not
heard that he has accomplished anything
definite.
"These men all have first-class letters of
reference, and in some instances I have
been surprised at the ease with which such
| important documents have been obtained.
Within the past ten years fully dozen
promoters have been in this city talking
about overland roads, but not one has ever
come to anything. Mr.. Woodwork, ac-
cordlng to the information from Butte, is
backed by $4,000, 000 If he comes back to
OAKLAND, WHICH, he says, is to be the ter
minus of the road, we shall ask him to
place the names and sureties of his hackers

MEANING OF A SENTENCE,
"If You Cannot Bring 1t All
Bring Some," Wrote
Kellogg.
Savage Says 1t Referred to a Bribe.
The Imprisoned Detective
Says 1t Does Not.
D z


908 Broadway, Oct. 7.
On the meaning a Superior Court Jury
will attach to one sentence hangs the fate
of ex-Railroad Detective Kellogg, who is
at present in Jail on Grand Jury indict-
ment The sentence reads, "If you can't
bring all, bring some." The words occur
in q letter written by kellogg to a man
named Savage and were construed by the
Grand Jury to mean that Kellogg was ask
ing Savage for a bribe, as the latter Is
awaiting trial for picking a pocket on the
ferry and Kellogg is the chief witness
against him.
Kellogg's attorney says he is able to ex-
plain very thoroughly what the words
mean and how they came to be written.
He also complains that Kellogg was not
called before the Grand Jury and asked to
explain what his letter meant before he
was hurried off to jail and his bail fixed so
high that he cannot give bonds for the
amount.
Several statements regarding Kellogg's
arrest have been published, and many
damaging things have been said by both
the detective and those whom he claims
are his enemies, and who are interested in
seeing him in jail. The explanation of the
words on which the indictment is based is
very simple, if true. Kellogg said to-day
that he was interested with Savage in
trying to earn the reward offered for the
murder of the Webers. Savage went into
the country for the purpose of gathering
some evidence for Kellogg, and much cor
respondence passed between them. In one
of the letters occurred the words, elf you
cannot bring all, bring part OF it." These
words, according to Kellogg, referred to
the evidence Savage was obtaining, and to
nothing more. He says Savage knew this
at the time, but that others have induced
him to place another meaning on the
words and to tell the Grand Jury that
Kellogg referred to bribe for allowing the
prosecution of Savage to lapse.
