Grand Master Toohy the grand recorder and
the grand receiver went to Mission San Jose
on Friday night to take part in the dedication
OF new hall for Mission Lodge No. So.
Golden West Lodge No. 264 of the Potrero is
rapidly increasing its membership. At its last
meeting six candidates were initiated.
The movement that has been inaugurated
for the proper observance of the anniversary
of the founding of the order by the lodges of
this City should be encouraged by every officer
and member Of each lodge. Several lodges
failed to send delegates to the preliminary
meetings on the ground that they did not de-
sire to incur the expense. past officer OF one
of the lodges that was not represented stated
that his lodge would not take part in the
event even if the per capita tax was but one
cent. This does not show fraternal spirit. 1t
is one that should not manifest itself in this or
any other organization.
The lodges represented decided that the
celebration shall be held on the Goth of Octo-
Der, and it viii consist of literary and must
cal entertainment and ball in Odd Fellows
Hall. To meet the expenses per capita tax
of 81 cents was levied, which is the same as
was levied last year. After the expenses of
that celebration had been met, ID cent per
capita was returned to each contributing
lodge. Every lodge should join in the coming
celebration, If only to show that there is no
lack of unity in the order.

summoned, and that his only duty was to take
him to the hall where the encampment was in
session. When the patriarch entered the hall,
which was brilliantly Illuminated, he asked
for an explanation OF the many patriarchs that
filed the hall, but 1t was not till the chief
patriarch, Frank j. Ralph, had called the as
semblage to order that he obtained his
answer. 1t was that he had been
called before his brothers that they
might congratulate him upon the seventy
fifth anniversary of his birth. This was sur
prise, which was followed by Misunderstanding and
the expression from all that he live many years
yet to be with them. Patriarch Klein, who is
" ell liked in the community in which he lives,
was for O time at loss to answer the many
congratulations, but finally found tongue and
made neat little speech. He was then es-
corted to an adjoining ROOM where splendid
banquet in his honor had been spread, and
after the good things on the board had been
disposed OF there followed cOngratulatory adj
dresses, songs, Rotations and pleasant chat
until midnight, when the guest of the evening
was escorted to his home. During the evening
the patriarch gave an interesting account of
his connection with the order and returned
thanks for the respect shown to old age. The
venerable Odd Fellow is the father of Harry A.

OAKLAND OFFycE SAN Francisco CALL,
908 Broadway, Sept. 8.

1t is not certain that some arrests
may not yet be made in connection with
the insolvency of the Times Publishing
Company. A. w. Bishop, the ex-post-
master, and Henry P. Squire have locked
horns and each says that the other has
not acted squarely. Some of Sources
friends told him Bishop had threatened
to have him arrested and could place him
in San Quentin. Mr.. Squires was asked
about the trouble to-day and told of some
transactions that throw considerable light
on a matter that is now of general interest
in this county.
~ understand that charges of a serious
nature were made at the last meeting of
creditors to the effect that | had made
false entries in the books. | want those
charges making specific and if they are not
sustained there will be trouble. | have
asked President Keller of the creditors
meeting to have the books exported to see
if the charges of fraud can be sustained.
Frank Robinson, who made the charges,
has always pretended to be a friend of
mine, but it appears now he was working
to serve his own purpose. | cannot Just,

mittee at work on the books gets through.
"Now as to Bishops statements. | went
to him and asked him why he had said he
knew enough to send me to San Quentin
and he denied ever having said so. AS
matter of fact Bishop and Robinson have
put up job to freeze me out. Bishops
claim that he has put certain amounts
into the concern needs explanation The
money credited to him is, to certain ex-
tent, subsidy that was being paid the
paper by certain interests. Some of it
should have been placed to the credit of
the corporation rather than to Bishop per-
sonally. There is more money standing to
Bishop. 1t has also been said that there
are still some accounts of Mr.. Moffitt's on
the. books, This is also untrue, as when he
went out of the concern he settled with
the corporation for every cent and has no
interest at ali in the concern at present.
Till the final meeting of creditors the
the paper is being run by G. l.. Maxwell
as assignee. The debts aggregate $31 ,03O
and liabilities $4,000.

is WILLIAMS INSANE?

One of His Friends Talks of Railroad
ing Him to an Asylum.
Captain Williams, the aged Odd Fellow
who is said to be insane, was yesterday
placed in a strait-jacket to keep him
from doing harm to himself.
He is stopping at Mrs. Chapman's lodg-
ing-house, on Second street, near Webster,
where he is being restrained and looked
after by his friend, Rev. Mr.. Stovall, who
will have him examined by the Com mis-
sioners of Lunacy this week.
Mr.. Edwards, a Washinton-street mer-
chant. is very much exercised over the
turn of affairs in Father Williams life
and SCOTS at the idea OF the old gentle
mans being insane.
Edwards says it is a put-up scheme Of
certain parties, whose names he refused to
mention, that are anxious to railroad him
into the asylum to rid themselves OF the
expense of keeping him, and the proper
thing to be done is to send him to his son
in Santa Clara whose duty it is to care for
him the few remaining days of his life.
Members of the Eight-street Mission are
also indignant, and say there is nothing the
matter with Captain Williams, except fail
ing memory and general breaking down
physically, but not mentally.
Mr.. Stovall says: Captain Williams is
without doubt demented. lam caring for
HIM and am in position to know. Lately
he has got beyond my control and is help
less and REBEL ious against authority exer-
cised for his comfort and good. No one
can longer control him and there Is no
telling what he may do if left to himself"

owns the residence where Captain Will
iams lives, corroborates Mr.. Stoyalls

In this column of last Monday reference

let-doux to his police captains:
There are open and fragrant violations of the
renal Cooe In this city in reference to Lotteries
OF all kinds and the sale of tickets therefor and
you are herewith instructed to at once proceed
TO suppress the same. You will instruct ell the
omcers In this department under your imme-
dlate control to arrest all violators of this law,
secure all the evidence at hand and bring the
Offenders speedily TO trial. That you may act

winch reads as follows:
Every person who sells, gives or in any man

any other person any ticket, chance, share or
interest or any paper, certificate or instrument
purporting or understood to be or to represent
any Ticket chance, share or interest in or de-
pending upon the event of any lottery, is guilty
OF q misdemeanor
Your duty is clearly set forth above and the
ofeers will be given to understand what is re-
quired of them.
1t was also remarked in this column that
II the panel of jurors we're selected from
men OF intelligence and standing the law
against lotteries might be enforced and
convictions secured. Last Friday morn
ing panel of stanch business men were
in court, and when their verdict was ulti-
mately brought in, the Chinese were con-
victed for almost the first time in this city.
Such jurors are an encouragement to the
police and Prosecuting Attorney Melvin,
and although they only did their duty
they deserve commencing by comparison
with the many who have not done it.

paragraph which seemed to condone the
practice and the subject has created some
controversy. The paragraph referred to
reads:

CALIFoRNIAs-sECo INNINGS.


Yet more decisive was the victory gained
by the Alamedas over the Bohemians at
Klinknerville. Captain Robertson, having
choice of innings, wisely decided to bat
and he led off with his able lieutenant, Dr.
Bowhill. But it was not their day. The
best wickets fell with ruinous alacrity, and
but for Reeves and Davis the side would
have fallen far short of their modest total
80 runs.
In very short order the Alamedas de-
cided the issue. Moriarty more than ire
bled the opposing score with brilliant
hard hitting innings of 58,which was only
marred by four chances, three of which
were given late in the innings. Sloman's
As was well deserved and Randall never
played better innings than he did yester-
day. The cupholders altogether amassed
339 runs, beating the Bohemians by 2S9
The fielding feature of the game was Ir-

was a gallery one. Following is the score
