Injured From a Dive Into Shallow
Water-Death Resulted From
Fracture of the Skull.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Sept. 2.-Charles
Tracy, 16-year-old boy who lived with his
guardian at 22S Eleventh street, San Fran
cisco, came to Alameda Sunday afternoon,
with companion named John Sullivan,
to go in bathing at the Sunny Cove baths.
Young Tracy met with an accident and
received injuries which caused his death
at o'clock this morning. An inquest was
held this afternoon by Coroner Baldwin,
who after taking some testimony contin-
ued it until tomorrow afternoon in order
that the Sullivan boy might be summoned
as witness. None of the attendants at
the bath house knew aught of the accident
except by hearsay.
DR.. W. o. Smith was called to attend the
injured youth. There was rafting in his

However, he was not able to move his legs,
and breathed with difficulty. About 8
o'clock in the evening Tracy com planned
of pain in the back of the neck, and said
he felt as if he were drowning. He died
about o'clock this morning.

the attendance of the boy Sullivan, who
resides In the neighborhood where Tracy
lived with his aunt, Mrs. Connors, who has
been guardian of the boy since he was
small child, and who is much grieyed
over his death.
The New Trustees File an Answer.
Their demurrer having been recently
overruled. Messrs. J. r. Knowland. George
G. Jensen and Robert Husband have filed
an answer In the proceedings brought to
enjoin them from interfering with the
conduct and management of the Free
Library. They deny all the allegations.
especially those charging them with hav-
ing used force and violence on the 31st of
last May to gain possession of the institu-
ton. They refuse to recognize the plain
tiffs as members of the board and their
action will probably settle the vexed cues
ton as to which is the legally constituted
board to have charge.
Seventh Day Adventists.
The Seventh-day Adventists' tent at the
corner of Santa Clara avenue and Paru
street, where services have been held bv
mem bers of that denomination for the past
month, will be Immediately removed to

at Foresters' Hall. Preliminary steps have
been taken to organize a church in
Alameda.
Not Generally Observed.
Labor day was not generally observed as
holiday to-day except by Postmaster Stod-
dard and his employees who. however, kept
the postoffice open until 10 o'clock in, the

to o'clock.

years of her life were spent in the land OF
her birth. In company with her husband
and child she came to America, and few
years later the family came to California.
Mrs Partridge has resided here ever since.
Mrs Partridge joined the Order of the
Eastern Star in February, 1871, and was
initiated in Golden Gate Chapter No. l of
San Francisco. One year later she dimit-
ted and at once affiliated herself with Oak
Leaf Chapter No. of Oakland, where she
has since held her membership. 1t will
soon be quarter of a century since Mrs.
Partridge was admitted to Oak Leaf Chap
ter. She was elected associate conduc-
tress with the first corps of officers.
For eighteen months Mrs. Partridge held
the office, and the succeeding six months
she filled the office of conductress. During
the succeeding year she was secretary, and
this was Immediately followed by fifteen
months as associate matron. The length
of the term as associate matron was due to
a change in the time of election from Au-
gust to November. One year later Mrs.
Partridge was elected to the office OF
worthy matron of Oak Leaf Chapter. No
matron in this chapter IS ever reelected,
and so Mrs. Partridge. having filled all the
offices, from lowest to highest, is now
a past worthy matron and cannot fill an
active Office.
At the meeting of the Grand Chapter in
1885 Mrs. Partridge was appointed men,
Der of the finance committee, and during
the wears 1SS6-S7 she served as district
deputy grand matron. One year later she
was elected worthy grand matron, and in
1889 was chosen as one OF i've sisters ap-
pointed on the Masonic Orphans Home
committee.
Mrs. Partridge in $780, acted as chair
man on the Committee on Returns and in
1891 chairman on Foreign Correspondence.
In 1893 she received the appointment to
serve on the Committee on Appeals and
Grievances.
In the General Grand Chapter, at it's
meeting held in 1889, she received the APP
pointment of Worthy Grand Adah, and at
the session held in Columbus, o., in 1897,
she acted on the Committee of Jurispru-
dence, and at the same session was elected
Right Worthy Associate Grand Matron.
In Boston last week she was elected to
succeed Mrs. Mary G. Snedden as Most
Worthy Grand Matron.
Mrs. Partridge's home is on Chester
street, and the walls of the parlors are
covered with the many engrossed tributes
to her zeal and kindness.
Speaking of the new head of the order in
this county to-day, sister of Oak Leaf
Chapter said: "Sister Partridge is an in
worker in everything she I'M
dertakes. Her interest in the order has
endeared her to the entire membership,
and there was no sister more highly es-
teemed than she throughout the State of
California. With remarkable executive
ability, Sister Partridge is an excellent
leader, and her self-sacrifcing nature en-
titles her to marked distinction among her

90S Broadway, Sept. 2
Everything was mixed up in Oakland to-
day in official circles and nobody seemed
to know whether Labor day was legal
holiday or not. AS soon as they arrived
at the courthouse the four Superior
Judges took the matter under considera-
ton, but Judge Greene said he could not
determine the question by the law books
and it was decided to continue all calen-
dars till tomorrow. The calendars were
called in each court and the matter ex-
planned to the attorneys. Some arguments
were heard, but only by consent, and
Judge Prick decided to take no chances
and continued everything till Tuesday.
The County Treasurer's, County Clerks,
Auditors and other offices were open for
business, but no judgments or DEGREES
were entered up. Most Of the attorneys
refused to file papers and altogether the
DAVIS proceedings were semi-farcical as no
one was sure whether they were doing
right or wrong.
The National banks kept open and did
business as usual.
The labor unions made no effort to OBJ
serve the National Labor day, but the
Postoffice made holiday OF the day and
there was only one delivery.
The Board of Supervisors met as usual,
but after relieving q few lndigents they
adjourned until tomorrow to avoid COM
plications.
