1t was announced last fall that wealthy
Frenchman who had visited this coast and
became interested in its future, had left on
his death, beauest whose income should be
put into 500 gold medal, to be competed
for by the two universities on this coast.
The only restriction was that the subject
should deal with French affairs. A Joint
committee was appointed by the presi-
dents of the two universities, consisting OF
Professors Ross and Lathrop of Stanford,
and Professors GayIey and Bacon of the
University of California, this committee
to make the rules governing the contests
for the Carnot medaille. AS a result the
committee have set April 5, 1885, as the
time for the first debate. The place will
be Palo Alto this year. The subject to be
debated is, WAS Casimer-Perier Justified
in Resigning the Presidency" Only un-
dergraduates can participate.
Three speakers will be chosen from each
college, but each will speak as an individ-
ual and not as one of debating team. No
one will know on which side he is to speak
until the day preceding the contest. The
speech must not be from manuscript
and can be but fifteen minutes In
length. In determining the award, excel
lence in reasoning, scholarship, style and
delivery will be considered. The speakers
for the Stanford side have already been
chosen. Those of the University of Cali

On Saturday night at 8 o'clock Mrs. Ed
Wilson, living at 762 Brush street, was
going to her home, and when near Sixth

the darkness and grabbed her. She had
the forethought to slip her purse into her

clutched she began screaming loudly. THIS
had the effect OF soaring the thieves away.

to have the child released and it was de-
cided to let Alva go for thirty days on her

SAID HE WAS HELD UP.
A Young Man From Nevada Who
Fought q Footpad.

Benjamin Franklin Banks OF liz Fulton
street told the police yesterday he had
been robbed of SIS by two footpads early
Sunday morning, but the police have come
to the conclusion that Benjamin Franklin
is not as close an adherer to the truth as
his namesake.
Banks, who is a young man, says he
came from Nevada few weeks ago and is
not very well acquainted with the streets
of the city. He is studying teIegraphy at
$40 Clay street and proposes to make that
his occupation. SATURDAY. night he was
out Market street to his room. He be-
came somewhat muddled and wandered
out through Hayes Valley, when he was
startled by an order to throw up his hands.
According to his story to Detective Cody
he refused to comply with the demand
and Immediately proceeded to annihilate
the would-be robber. With one blow he
knocked his man down, and started to
dance Jig upon the PROSTATE form to the
tune of his victims groans. The regular
dime-noyel whistle of the villain was given
by the robber, and, according to custom,
his 'spaI' put in an appearance and began
carving Benjamin Franklin with dirk
knife. He exhibited his coat and vest as
evidence of the murderous intent of his as
sailants and explained that notebook in
his inside pocket had stopped the knife
and saved his life. Then the footpads took
all he had
Detective Cody's investigation included
a search of the young mans pockets and
revealed watch, chain and a purse with
plenty OF cash in it. The officer suggested
that Benjamin Franklin had evidently run
against highwaymen who did not know
their business or else he was prevaricating.
Banks was taken to the locality on Viii
low place he described as the scene of the
hold-up and Identified the place, but failed
to account for the fact that no iron railing
surrounded any of the buildings, little
matter he had been very particular to call
to the attention of the police when he first
entire affair originated in the brain of the
young man from Nevada.

SOUTH BERKELEY EXCITED.
4 ThOroughfare Turned Into a Gold
DiggingS.
WaShings From the Hills Reveal the
Precious Metal-J. G. MilIer'S
Story.

South Berkeley yesterday suddenly
sprang into fame as a new Ell Dorado. Gold
in quantities sufficient to constitute it
'pay dirt" was mined on Ashby avenue,
the principal thoroughfare of this recently
annexed suburb to the town of Berkeley
One of the residents of this town, while
walking along the avenue, picked up a
stone from the gutter, and observing that
it was quite heavy for stone of its size,
made close examination and found I'M
mistakable evidences of the precious
metal. Ashby avenue extends from Rail-
road street to Telegraph avenue, and is not
completely improved. The cutters on the
sides are not planked, but the dug-out
earthen embankments allow the water
which gathers from the rain to flow along.
1t was at one of these places that the first
gold ore was picked up. On going further
up the street several small pebbles were
found.
Their discoverer informed a friend, and
this friend another, and so on until in an
incredibly short time the street resembled
an old forty-niner diggings and more or
less gold rewarded the labors of the
miners"
J. G. Miller, the president of the I'm
prOVemenJ CIuD OF South Berkeley, said
last evening: ayes, it is true, and the
people are practically crazy over it. They
expect that property adjacent to Ashby
avenue will greatly increase in value and
that every lot will constitute mining
claim. Owing to illness in my family l
was in South Berkeley to-day only an
hour-spending most of the day in San
Francisco-but the short time I did spend
there was occupied solely in hearing talk
about the discovery.
among those whom I heard had mined
on the street were w. A. Bissell and w.
ONeil, the real-estate agents, B. Gold
smith, N: w. Miller (my father), T. Craig
mile, NJ. Lutz and others. The gold ap-
pears to be washings from the hills back of
the town--small pieces of quartz-and Mr..
Goldsmith, who crossed the bay with me
this evening, stated that a rumor was afioat
that the ledge had been found. Mr.. Gold
smith brought quantity of those with
him for the purpose of getting it assayed
tomorrow. Many of those whom 1 named
as digging in the cutters are old miners
and know gold when they see it. To-mor-
rows developments, it is expected, will be

Howe and Armentine Monges, are to Off
eiate as white-robed flower-girls The
bridesmaids are to be attended by Messrs.
Edward Morris and Arthios Dodge, and
others of the brides friends will act as
ushers. The congregation of the church
are deeply interested in the approaching
nuptials and are one and all engaged in
preparations for decorating the church
edifce, which, it is pronounced, will be in
the most lavish and elegant style possible.
With the hundreds of electric lights and
splendid music and flowers the wedding
promises to be one of the most attractive
of any that has taken place during the
season.
After the wedding the bride and groom
will proceed to the Occidental Hotel, where
a wedding feast will be served. Only a very
few intimate friends will be present at
the hotel. a short wedding trip will be
taken, but the location is resolutely con-
cealed. The approaching season of Lent
obliges the return of the rector to his
charge at an early day, and necessitates
that visit to England, where the bride
groom's friends reside and which was to be
the intended wedding trip, should be de-
ferred.
The Rev. Henry B. Collier has been a
resident of this city for about year, COM
ing here in response to an urgent call from
the Church of the Advent to be its rector.
He has labored with great success, restor-
ing the wasted energies of the church and
uniting the people in remarkable degree.
Before accepting his. present charge he Off
ciated at Spokane, Wash, with marked &C.
ceptance. lie is said to be clergyman
who never tires, and his ministrations in
his present change have been constant,
self-sacrifcing and untiring. 1t is under
stood, however, in church circles that Rev.
Mr.. Collier seeks a change and has already
rendered his resignation to the vestry, who
have urgently requested him to reconsider,
but without success. Rev. Mr.. Collier will,
however, remain through Lent and pEoba-
bly, for some time afterward.
The bride, Mary Alice McRoberts, is
charming in every respect; she is beauti-
full, accomplished and amiable, and has
always been the delight of her own home.
Her father will be remembered as an at
tache of the Custom house, holding an
important position for eighteen years.
Already presents of great value and
beauty have begun to shower upon the
happy couple from every direction. 1t is
understood that the church as a whole
viii distinguish itself in the generosity of

The Haste-Street Opening.
At the meeting of the Trustees tonight
the protest against the Haste-street OPEN
ing will be heard. The case possesses the
unusual interest of having been in the
courts, with one of the Trustees virtually
plaintiff and also one of the defendants.
Three months ago an injunction was
served on the president of the board and a
hearing prevented. The Town Attorney
investigated the matter and found that the
injunction suit, while brought in the name
of Mrs. Patterson, was in reality by one OF
the board, Trustee n. T. Whiting, he hay-
ing agreed to bear the expense if Mrs. Pat
terson would allow her name to be used.
AS result of this peculiar action being
laid bare the suit was not pressed, and a
motion made for dismissal was granted.
Now the board will listen to the petition
against the opening, and will also have to
consider petition against this protest by
property owners equally interested, who
ask that the streets be opened as originally
intended.
Open to It's Friends.
The South Park Settlement House gave

the work that was being started. Among
the visitors was the Collegiate Alumne As

building, but have secured house of their
own now. All the furnishings-ta
benches, curtains, etc.-Will be made by
the boys and girls as part Of their work.
There is one club of girls, conducted by
two of the young women students.

TOO MUCH FOR THE SHARPER.
A swindIer Attempts an Old Game and
Is Arrested.

An unsophisticated looking italian
named John Barta, a recent arrival from a
Marin County butter ranch, met with a
very engaging young man on Sixth street
yesterday afternoon, and, while enjoying
a treat at Barta's expense, the young man,
who gave his name as R. C. Tyler, CHANGED
to drop the information that he was on the
lookout for men to work on some project
and named very seductive price as the
one he was at present paying.
Tyler offered to get Barta Job on pay
ment of $50, which the Italian handed
over Tyler then tried to get away but
the italian hung on to him like leech
and Officer James Fay appearing Barta re-
lated the trick. Tyler was arrested.
