TRUMPEO UP CLAIMS.
There Promises to He Little Left Of thu
Assets OF j. T. NJ. Pierce.

YANKToN. S. D., Sept. 6.-Trumped
up claims against J. T. NJ. Pierce, or
claims that appear to be trumped up,
are coming to light almost daily and
are being placed on record. On Satur-
day last a mortgage. for $40, 900, pur-
porting to have been executed in 1892,
was filed for record. This document has
the appearance of having been recently
made. 1t is wonderful how many deeds
and mortgages have appeared since
Pierce fed to South America. Some Of
these instruments are curiosities, and
will cause trouble for somebody before
the matter is settled. A mortgage for
10000 was also recorded against the
three miles of road bed and depot of the
Yankton and Norfolk railroad, being all
there is of this road on this side of the
Missouri river.

None of the Big Corporations Have
Asked for Reduced Assessments.
The expected petitions of the big corpora
tons to have the assessment on their
property reduced by the County Board of
Equalization have not yet been filed. At
yesterdays meeting of the board the Pied
mont Cable Company asked that its assess
ment be reduced from $272, ,030 to $50, 900.
The petitioner, President c. r. Bishop,
stated that previous to November, 1893, the
property had been unproductive and had
not earned enough to pay operating ex-
penses and that up to March of this year
the receipts had been $25, 900 less than the
expenses. The road for a long time was in
the hands of a receiver and was recently
sold to Bishop for $50, 900, who declares it
is not worth more.
Mr.. Bishop was the receiver of the road
and bought it in at Sheriff's sale on behalf
OF the bondholders. The fortunes of the
howe brothers and large portion of the
BLAIR estate were sunk in the road, which
was the first cable road in this City. 1t is
now operated mostly by electricity, and

THE DRAMA OF RELIGION.
SaIvationists Will in Future
Hold the Boards in the
Peoples Theater.
THE ARMY TAKES A LEASE.
The New Barracks Is Situated in the
Center of the Business Portion
of Oakland.

The Oakland corps of the Salvation
Army leased the Peoples Theater yester-
day, and in few days the large house
hitherto devoted to the drama will be used
in the service of GOD. The theater is sit
uated in the business center of the city,
and up to month ago has been run as a
cheap PLAYHOUSE. The news that the Sal
vation Army has captured the BUILDING
will be surprise to all the merchants in
the neighborhood, and will be welcome
news to them as they recently expressed a
desire to assist any enterprise that would
bring back the old crowds to Twelfth and
Washington streets. Whether the Saliva
ton Army is the kind OF enterprise that is
desired remains to be seen.
The lease held by the army to the
Castle on Eighth street expires next No
vember, and there has been a desire on
the part of the residents in that section to
prevent renewal being granted. AS the
castle it was imperative that new build
ing be secured that could, in event of a
non-renewal, be used for both training
and worship. The Peoples Theater is
large enough for all pur poses.
To moderate extent this new move of
the SalvationlstS is backed by the churches
in the center of Oakland. The expenses
are too great for the army to bear at pres
ent, and rather thar see so good an oppor-
tunity to lease a permanent hall pass an
appeal was made to the Christian public
at large. Several small subscriptions
toward the rent have been promised, and
it is expected that more will be received
when it is known that the army has closed
the deal

of the Peoples Theater, but l have no
doubt of the future. While anxious to
work in locality offering such great op-
portunities as does the theater it was
necessary that we look to the financial side
of the matter. l am not at liberty Just
now to say how much or what churches
have helped us, but we have several
promises and I am sure that others will
Join US in our new move. 1t is impossible
to find a better locality, and the large
crowd that gathers nightly in that neigh
borhood is just the crowd we want. If we
are forced to we shall eventually move our
training home up there, but that will not
be for the present. am not able just now
to say when we shall open, but no time
will be wasted, and when we do open
every one in Oakland will know it.'

Mayor Davies Communication Was

Mayor Davie was most definitely ignored
by the Board of Education last night. He
sent communication to the board request
ing that the blank requlsitions to be used
for the purchase OF supplies for the depart

evidence that the same when filed out
must be approved by the Mayor, as pro-
vided in ordinance No. 1865, approved

interference" exclaimed Director Clement.

Council has no control over US"
Director Moody said he was not law

tion of the board to the various depart
ments of the city. He thought LAYING
the communication on the table was not
treating it with proper respect. Director
McMullen did not see any cause of COM
plant on account of the communication.
He said the records of the board should be
open to the public. Director Stark did
not like the idea of the Mayor coming in
and seeing every requisition. If the
Mayor wants TO amuse himself" said Di-
rector Friend, "by sending in eommunica-

them to a committee. l would not get

Director Reed said that because the
board would not vacate the rooms the
Mayor persisted in annoying them. He
did not believe in being annoyed any
longer. If throwing the Communication
out of the window would stop the annoy

Knox remarked that it was placing the
board in very undignifed position. The

LATE NEWS FROM ALAMEDA
A Suspicious Fire Destroys
the Property of Charles
S. Neal.
Petition for the Reinstatement Of
Principal Arthur Mock.
Realty.

The Fire Department was called out yes
terday afternoon for fire at the building g
on the corner of Bay street and Kings ave-
nue., occupied by Charles S. Neal as a barn.
The structure was an old one, and as the
fire had gained good headway before the
alarm was sounded the department could
do little to check the flames. The loss
will be about $3.50.
1t was generally reported that the fire
was of incendiary origin, the blame being
fixed on Thomas Kelley, young roust-
about at West End. Nurseryman Ros-
marin saw a young man run away from
the direction of the fire before the blaze
was seen, and boys in the vicinity corrobo-
rated this by stating that young Kelley
had Get fire to the grass.
The police were quick to act and took
the suspect into custody pending an inves-
tigation. Young Kelley had the appear
ance of having been on a debauch, and his
act is probably the result of recklessness
and not criminal intent.
Petitions for improvements.
Realty-owners and taxpayers to the num-
Der of sixteen, including the Alameda and
Oakland Electric Railway Company, A r.

for his dismissal was given.

JoKED WITH THE JUDGE.
A Smart Conversation With a Man of
Shaky Mind.

A Smart Conversation With a Man OF
Shaky Mind.
Three people with very strange haIlu-
cinations were examined yesterday on
charges of insanity. One of them got off
a good joke on Judge Ellsworth that
caused his Honor to hesitate for a mo-
ment as to whether the suspect was insane
or not.
a. Rowe was the first unfortunate, and
his landlady testified that whenever he
answered question he put his reply into
verse and on this ground she considered
him insane. He also chased her along the
hall, and prayed noisily. Deputy Sheriff
White said that when he arrested the man
he refused to give his name, and said he
acknowledged no authority but that of his
God. Then Judge Ellsworth took Rowe
in hand.
"What is your nameT'
Here it is on this ring, Judge; Ar Dow,
Mr.. Ar Dow."
Let me see the ring" said the Judge.
mo one must touch it. 1t was made
eighteen years ago from a piece of gold
that had the word God on it, and it is
sacred.''
Did you see the word God upon itP'
u did made the ring myself. l made
it out of a twenty-dollar gold piece"
II thought you said it was made out of
a piece of gold with God upon it," said
the Judge.
Rowe smiled at the Judge and said
grayely, "Well, are not the words, In
God we trust on every twenty2"
Judge Ellsworth laughed at the joke and
doubted if Rowes mind was far wrong
after all. At a later examination Rowe
made all manner OF strange statements
and said that his father owned the Palace
and few other pieces of property in San
Francisco and satisfied the Judge that he
would be better at Agnews than in the
world of rational beings and the order was
made.
Mrs. Eliza Scott is a middle-aged woman
who has attempted for several weeks to
live without eating. She has been cooking
at several boarding-houses in West Oak
land, and is rational on all subjects save
that of food. She was adjudged to be in
sane and was ordered to be sent to an asy-
lum A dispatch was received yesterday
from a relative at Chicago, asking that
Mrs. Scott be sent to him. She will go
there as soon as the expense of the journey
is received.
The third unfortunate was John Brad
bent, who has been hanging around the
free reading room and attempting by lam
guage and contortions to impress lady Wis
itors with his affection for them. He be-
came too much of a nuisance to be toll
Grated, so he was arrested and will be taken
to an asylum.

Judge Campbell Will Decide Whether
Crime Was Committed.
The case of John Lapigne, charged with
swindling an old man, Jean Louis Alder,
out of nearly $4,000, came up before Judge
Campbell yesterday. The particular trans
action under review was the purchase of
iodging-house on Bush street.
After hearing the testimony of Attorney
Strauss. who was appointed guardian for
the old man, it was agreed between Attor-
ney Ruef. the special prosecutor, and At
torney Mack for the defendant, to submit
a statement of facts to the Judge from
which he will give his decision on Satur-
day as to whether or not crime has been
committed, and if in the affirmative what
the crime is-grand larceny, embezzlement
or obtaining money by false pretenses.

ownership of eleven miles of water front

city's progress. During the forty years of
its alleged ownership by the railroad COM
pany nothing has been done in the way OF
