Gus assays averaged SIS 53 of gold and
$35 81 of silver. The 1895 ore averaged
SIS 10 of gold and $39 68 of silver. The
railroad car. samples of the same ore aver
aged $40 80 of gold and $40 II of silver.
The witness said that the mining and rail-
road car samples afforded better means
of approximating TO the actual value OF
the ore than the battery SAMPLES. The
1895 ore assayed as follows: Mining car,
$50; railroad car, $57 battery, $53. Acordc-
ing to the actual working the 190-ton batch
OF ore mined in 1895 showed percentage
of 92.35 from battery and 90.56 from rail-
road-car samples. If extra care had not
been taken with this ore, said the witness,
it even then should have produced so per
cent.
The examination of Superintendent
Ryan will be resumed this morning at
O'Clock, on the understanding that it will
be completed by 10 o'clock, at which time
the hearing will be adjourned until 2
o'clock.
The first proceeding in the morning was
to complete the. reading of John w.
Mackay's deposition. Mr.. Barrett ex-
planned that some changes had been made
by the stenographer at Mr.. Mackay's re-
quest before Mr.. Mackay signed it, and
just before Mr.. Mackay went to New York.
Mr.. Barrett gave emphasis to the changes
when he read them, as Mr.. Mackay tes-
titled repeatedly, according to the deposit
ton as corrected, that 20 per cent would be
reasonable product of battery assays of
ore valued at $39 ton. The testimony
before correction indicated that he re-
ferred at the places corrected to mining
car and railroad-ca assays. There was an
effort on the part of Mr.. Barrett 20 hold
Mr.. Mackay to car assays, and Mr.. Wood
and Mr.. Deal repeatedly called the atten-
ton of the court to their view that Mr..
Mackay at ali times spoke with reference
to battery assays.
This was followed by the reading of the
dispositions of A. Spencer, secretary of the
Nevada Milling and Mining Company, and
OF J. B. Overton, president of the same
company. These were comparatively brief,
and devoted to the purpose of discovering
if the books of that company contained
any entries relating TO the eighty-eight gold
bars about which w. r. James testified,
valued at about $500 600. The testimony
in both depositions failed to show any such
entries, or to throw any light upon the
subject.

JUDGE MURPHY IS ILL.,,
The Jurist Collapsed in Court
and Postponed the Ash
worth Case.
Overworked in the Durrant Case and
Attacked by Asthma His
Strength Fails.

Judge Murphy is quite i'll at his home,
119 Liberty street, and there Is possi-
bility that he may not be able to go on
with the Ashworth trial.
The Judge suffered complete collapse
yesterday afternoon and was obliged to
adjourn court until next Monday. He was
taken to his home in carriage His ply
sician commanded absolute rest, as the
noted jurist, in addition to another and
violent attack of asthma, was suffering
from the effects of the long and hard
strain imposed on him by the Durrant
case. The attack yesterday was sudden
and came on Immediately after the ad-
journment for the noon recess.
The Judge recovered sufficiently, how
ever, to continue the case at 2 o'clock, but
half an hour later he called Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Black to his desk and said
he would be obliged to adjourn court, as
he had not the strength to continue.
81 must have rest" said Judge Murphy
last night, 'as [ am absolutely tired out,
and as soon as the Durrant case is finally
disposed of | will take vacation. 1t was
against the wishes of my wife and the ad-
vice of my physician that | decided to take
up this last case, as l hoped to soon get
through with it, and then with the Dur
rant case disposed Of l would be free to
rest and recuperate.

matters too hard.
But l am completely worn out and
wish the case was off my mind. No one

mornings 1 would go into the courtroom
with barely sufficient strength to sit up in

would have allowed it to go over and re-
mained quietly at home.
MY life has been very active one. Ten
years on the bench, three years District

Judge Murphy spoke with much diff

with distressing fits of coughing.

The Elections for School and Wharf
Bonds to Be Held on the
Same Date.

BERKELEY, Nov. Al. B. Reinstein,
the newly elected regent, in company with
John McLaren, superintendent of Golden
Gate Park, spent the entire day at the
university, devising ways and means of
beautifying the campus.
When seen by a CALL representative, Mr..
Reinstein stated that it was one of his
fondly cherished plans to assist in every
way possible toward giving the university
grounds an imposing appearance. eve
have" said be, "just as Mr.. McLaren re-
marked to-day, one of the most beautiful
sites of any university in the world, and
we owe it as duty to ourselves, as well as
to our State, to at least attempt to rid it of
its ntter barrenness.
"At the last meeti ng of the Board of
Regents Professor William Carey Jones
stated that there was an obvious need for
number of settees for the grounds. Ac-
cordingly l secured from a gentleman
who does not wish his name mentioned at
this time 100 ornamental iron seats. or
settees. The matter as to where they shall
be placed has been referred to the commit
tee on buildings and grounds. E. NJ.
Wolff, ga suggested that fountain be
secured, which l have also had promised
gratuitously. This drinking fount is to
De OF Sucn character and to be placed on
the grounds at such place as the board
decides; but we will have fountain of
some sort"
Mr.. Reinstein said, also. that he had
written letter to Mr.. McLaren, asking if
he would give some suggestions as to what
would be the best method to pursue in the
matter OF laying out the grounds, to which
he responded that he would be glad to give
his services at such times as his duties at
the park would permit. And SO to-day
Mr.. McLaren and Mr.. Reinstein came over
to look at the grounds.
Mr.. McLaren suggests that the black
smith and carpenter shops, now situated
on the south side of the grounds, be moved
back OF the Mechanics and Electrical
building, so that power may be easily had,
and also that then they will no longer be
an eyesore to the campus. 1.-The creek"
said Mr.. McLaren, ''can be beautiied its
entire length through the ground by re-
moving many of the unsightly objects.

great hardship to be forced to pay

The matter Of taxing entertainments
given in public halls has been attracting
considerable attention in this City since
ager at Miss Shorey's debut at the First
Congregational Church to pay the license.
All parties are anxious 10 have the matter
settled, and the only way to do this is for
the License Collector to make an arrest
under the ordinance and have It's validity
tested. 1t is not thought, however, that
Mr.. Mitchell will make an example of the
Saturday night. The fraternity giving
the play is called the ''V. VS." and the
young ladies declare that if they see the
Collector around, he Will think their club

908 Broadway, November IA.
The Oakland High School boys have de-
oided to test the validity of the action of
the License Inspector in demanding $5 tax
for each entertainment given in public
hall. License Inspector Mitchell swooped
down at their entertainment last week at
the First Unitarian Church and demanded
the tax He has also given them notice
that he will be in attendance at the enter
tainnent to be given Saturday by the girls
of the High School.
The students have determined to test
the right of the Collector and have engaged
Attorneys Earl, Fitzgerald Cary Howard
and Abe Leach. The students say they
will attend to the ''other matter"
sIf License Inspector Mitchell shows up
at the box-otfice Saturday, when our girl
students are giving their entertainment
for our benefit, he may wish he had stayed
at home. In plain English. the students
have arranged a rush for the occasion,
should the license man appear, and he
might, by accident, get IN the center Of the
rushers OF course we of the committee
have discountenanced all such proceed
ings, but we cannot control couple of
hundred students who are out for fun. If
Mr.. Mitchell is wise he will not take in

All the attorneys named are old High
School boys, and some have said that the
ordinance was never intended to apply to
High School students. The students are

NEW LIBRARY BUILDING,
Trustee Fletter Gives His Views
on the Much-Discussed
Subject.
His Plan Is for Forty Citizens to PAY
the Cost, the City to Pay the
Interest.

ALAMEDA, Nov. 14.-The Joint meeting
of the Board of Free Library Trustees and
city fathers which was called for last even
ing considered the advisa bility of remov-
ing the library to the new City Hall. Ow-
ing to the absence of Messrs. Allen and
Magill of the library board no definite ac-
ton was taken. An interesting discussion,
however, arose. Trustee Lydecker thought
that the City Hall was the proper place for
the library. Library Trustee Mastick was
of the opinion that new building might
be erected with that $4,000 levied for
saltwater plant. He thought the City
Hall totally unfi for library purposes, and
in case of removal predicted the loss of 70
per cent of the readers.
The practicability of building an addi-
ton to the room now provided in the City
Hall was briefly discussed.
Ex-senator Simpson objected to the
City Hall, sayin it would prove danger
Gus place for gi rls to visit at night.
City Trustee Fietter remarked that a
new building fund might be created, or q
syndicate be formed by forty Alamedans, to
organize for three years and issue 200
shares at 500 share, at per cent inter-
est per annum. The Board of City Trus-
tees would have to pledge themselves to
levy tax to pay off the interest and prin-
cipal at the end of the time. The money
would thus be borrowed, and the only fear
one OF the lenders might have was that in
the case of the death of one of the Trus-
tees, the new man might not indorse the
tax-levy for the library fund.
