SUNRISE ON TAMALPA|S,
Three Hundred People
Climbed to the Summit in
the Moonlight.
Members of the Cross-Country Club
and Their Friends Enjoy
the Trip.

Three hundred enthusiastic pedestrians,
members of the Cross Country Club and
their friends, made the ascent of Mount
Tamalpais in body before sunrise yester-
day morning. The most of them left this
City on the Sausalito ferry-boat San Rafael
at IL 80 o'clock Saturday night.
The party divided into two sections, one
to make the ascent by way of Larkspur
over the new trail and the latter from Ross
station. There were fully 13O people in the
latter party, and they wendell their way
through Ross Valley headed by the mem
bers OF the Cross Country Club. Each was
equipped with lighted japanese lantern.
The start was made at 12:45 A. NJ, and the
procession soon stretched out over a dis
lance of a mile, and the lights which
dotted the side of the mountain gave it a
most picturesque appearance. II is doubt
full if such sight was ever witnessed in
California before.
The night was simply perfect. 1t was
like regular old-fashioned Indian sum-
mer's night, about which New Englanders
boast exist nowhere else on earth. 4
gentle breeze came in from the ocean and
famed the perspiring brows of the climb
ers. The moon shone with a brightness
that lighted up the landscape to such an
extent that the distant peaks OF old Diablo
and st. Helena were as plainly visible as
on a clear day, while the young forest
trees on the slop1ng hills stood out against
high backgrounds of grass-coyered hills
with q viyidnesS which was remarkable.
The lights of San Quentin glittered on the
placid waters of the bay which interviewed,
and early arrivals at the summit picked
out the lights that warn partners of the
dangerous approaches to the harbor. while
San Francisco slumbered in somber hues
on the big peninsula. All in all, it was
combination of views long to be remem-
bered.
The front ranks of the procession pushed
on to the summit, reaching there an hour
before sunrise only to find that the Lark
spur party had got there before them with
an additional contingent, numbering
who had gone up from Mills Valley,
many of them being Cross Country Club
members and their friends who preferred
the shorter climb. Before Old Sol peeped
above the Eastern horizon the most of the
climbers had reached the summit, where
the several peaks of the mountains, COW
cred as they never were before by nearly
800 persons, presented a most striking
scene. and as the great red mass that rules
the day jumped, as it appeared, out of the
very earth an exultant huZzar went up
which awakened thousands of echoes in
the canyon below.
After this important event the visitors
divided into little groups in proximity to
the spring in the cluster of trees on the
northern slope of the mountains inst be-
low the summit and ravenous appetites
quickly disposed of the contents of the
lunch-baskets, after which the people be-
gan the return.

THE PIONEERS ELECTION,
New Officers to Be Chosen
for the Ensuing Year
To-Day.
An Important Amendment Also to
Be Voted On, With a Banquet
to Follow.

The Society of California Pioneers will
elect officers for the ensuing year to-day.
The Pioneers have been actively en-
gagged in campaigning for several days
past, and the election will be attended by
more than the usual interest. AS a rule
there was but little oppo sition to the regu-
lar ticket. This year, however, opposing
forces have gathered quite a solid support
and affairs will be lively at the polls dur
ing the day.
The polls will open at A. NJ. and close
at P. NJ. Besides the officers to be elected
is an amendment to be added or kept out
of the constitution.
This amendment looks to the provision
of 500 appropriation to the widow OF
each deceased member.
The names on the regular ticket are as
follows:
H. n. Tilden, president; for vice-presideuts-
Niles Searls and H. E. Highton OF San Fran
cisco, {. I. Ryland OF Santa Clara, I. l.. Barker
of Oakland, H. II. Ellis of Sunol; John D. Tai
liant. treasurer; John F. Pinkham, marshal;
INSTRUMENTATION Reiss, E. NJ. Root, D. D.
Harris, c. c. Moore, II. B. Russ, John ii. Jewett
E. 7. Kruse, Leon Sloss,C. j. King.
On the opposition ticket the directors
are nearly the same, the principal fight
being confined to the heads of the tickets,
namely, Tilden Oh the regular ticket and
Judge Mckenzie, who leads the opposi-
ton. There will be something of a contest
over the Office of marshal, also, as e. B.
Vreelands friends seem determined to
favor of John f. Pinkham.
Following the election and announce
ment of the vote the customary banquet
will be held

IN THE HANDBALL COURTS
M. j. KiIgallon and j. McEvely
Defeat J. Harlow and
@. Hutchinson.
Several Other Most Interesting and
Closely Contested Games
Played.

The attendance at the handball courts
yesterday was very good and a number of
interesting games were played.
At the San Francisco court close and
exciting match was played between ]. Har-
low, the coast champion, and G. Hutchin-
son and NJ. J. Kilgallon, the Denver cham
pion, and ]. McEvely, four of the strong
est players on the coast. Each side won
two games and the final was won by Kill
gallon and McEvely. A match has been
arranged for next Sunday between Harlow
and his old partner, ]. Lawless, and Kill
gallon and Hutchinson and probably at
the same time Kilgallon and Lawless will
play against Champion Jones of Australia.
The event of the day at the Occidental
court was a match between John Purcell
and Al Collins and Ed Maloney and l..
Kenny which was keenly contested from

AN OAKLAND BOY SHOT,
Everett Spencer Is Fatally
Wounded by Deputy
Sheriff Lerri.
A BULLET IN HIS SPINE.
The Youths Companions Say the
Shooting Was Without Provo
cation.

Everett Spencer, an 18-year-old boy liv-
ing at 551 Haven street, Watts Tract, Oak
land, was fatally shot by Deputy Sheriff ].
J. Lerri at Shell Mound Park last evening.
He was brought to the Oakland Receiving
Hospital by two companions, G. Dorsey
and l.. Burns, who claims that the shoot
ing was entirely without provocation and
that Lerri had mistaken them for some
one else, firing without being sure of whom
he was trying to kill.
According to their story they were stroll
ing about near Shell Mound Park when
they saw the deputy and another man, a
stranger to them, in an alteration. Sud-
denly the man raised heavy stick, which
he was carrying, and struck the deputy
over the head, running away before the Of
ticer could recover sufficiently to catch him.
Later they saw the deputy coming
toward them, and on seeing him draw his
revolver ran away. They heard two shots
as they ran, and Spencer staggered and
said that he was shot.
The deputy did not seem to know that
he had inflicted a wound on the boy for
after chasing them awhile he gave up and
went away.
Spencer companions assisted him on to
the Berkely local and brought him down
to Sixteenth street, from where he was
taken to the hospital. 1t was some time
before doctor could be found
DR.. Dunn was unable to locate the bullet,
and said that he believed the lead had
penetrated the spine and that the wound
would prove fatal.
Lerri had not appeared at his home at a
late hour last evening, and his version of
the difficulty could not be learned.

WIDBER'S BOND IS SMALL
Mayor SutrO Will Advise That

100000.
of Morse and Lees IN
sufficient.

Mayor Sutro says that he does not object
to Treasurer Widber's bondsmen because
of any legal points. He fears their suffi-
cheney from business point of view.
81 have no doubt as to the honesty of
any of the men on Mr.. Widber's bond, :"
said the Mayor last night. Neither do
think any one could honestly question the
integrity of our Treasurer. But we must
consider that he has 100000 in cash
under his control.
NOW, the property of Mr.. Morse and OF
Mr.. Lees, who are on Mr.. Widber's bond
is real estate whose value cannot be def
nitely fixed. Some of it is country prop
erty, and no dealer in lands could tell what
it will bring if it were put on the market
'If either of these men were to die and
their estate should be called upon for the
payment of a shortage, it is hard to say
how much either would be able to bring
forward i'll cash. These men are good, but
their property is of such a nature that
am not, as business man, in favor of ac-
cepting them as sufficient.
"The bond is too small as it is. But
with that l have nothing to do. The
Supervisors fix the amount of the bond.
1t rests with me, though, to decide upon
the sutficiency of the bondsmen and, lay
ing all sentiment and personal feeling
aside, and looking at the matter from a
dispassionate, business point of view,
would wish men whose property is more
greatly in excess of the amount that may
be demanded.
Tomorrow, he continued, 81 am going
to suggest to the Supervisors that the
amount of the bond be raised to 5000, 600
This will make the matter of sureties
simpler. Whether they will accept my
proposition or not, l have no means of
knowing"

WEAPONS IN A SALOON,
ESCapade of an Ex-Soldier
on Sacramento Street
Yesterday.
Daniel Mullen, the Proprietor, Had
a Narrow Escape From
Being Shot.

David Barbour, an ex-United States SOL
der, created a sensation in Daniel Mullen's
saloon, at $50 Sacramento street, yesterday
morning shortly before O'Clock. The
sensation ended, however, in his being
landed in the California police sta
ton.
Barbour entered the saloon with a
''Whoopee!" and, furnishing a large
horse pistol in his hand, ordered Mullen.
who was behind the bar, to give up what
money he had about him. To emphasize
his demand he swung his weapon around
in threatening fashion and fired a bull
let into the wainscoting of the place.
Seven or eight men, who had been sitting
around the tables, dashed out the rear
door and Mullen, while his hair rose,
dragged out 81 70 from his pockets and
laid it on the counter. Barbour grabbed it
and demanded more.
That's all have" persisted Mullen.
Dig up" cried Barbour, and aiming
the pistol direct at the saloonman fired
again. Mullen had presence of mind
enough left to spring aside and the bullet
tore hole out of the counter, glanced and
went through picture behind the bar.
There's no more money here" yelled
Mullen, and the robber evidently con-
Guided that he spoke the truth, after an in
vestigation of the drawer
Now, you can treat" he went on,
''come out, you fellows" and by means OF
his pistol he made the men come out from
the back yard and stand before the bar.
Mullen served the drinks and then Bar.
bour left, after threatening to kill any one
who spoke to the police.
Mullen did not report the matter until
last night. From his description of the
man Officers MCGEE aud Barry ran Barbour
down in Chinatown. He was identified by
Mullen and the other men, but the identi-
fication was not necessary as he admitted
what he had done. His regret was that
he could not clean out the police station in
the same way. Charges of robbery and
assault to murder were placed against
him.

AMONG THE OARSMEN.
Stocktonians to Be Congratulated
on the Recent Re-
gatta.

The people of Stockton are to be con-
graduated on the brilliant success of the
regatta held at Stockton on the Fourth of
July. 1t was grand success in every par
ticular and will go down in the history of
rowing as the greatest regatta ever held on
this coast. 1t was held under the auspices
of the Stockton Athletic Association and
the officers of the day were: Referee,
Governor James H. Budd; judges of fin
ish-William F. Humphrey, president P.
A. A; F. D. Cobb, s. A. A; Robert
Edgren, U. c.; R. Carmona; judges at

DIVINE INSPIRATION.
Sermon on the Subject by Presi-
dent Blair of the Reorgan-
lied MnI1nOns.

w. w. Blair, one of the three presi-
dents of the Reorganized Mormon Church,
delivered sermon at Red Mems Hall last
evening to a gathering of the local follow
ers of Joseph Smith, who presides over the
reorganized body. President Blair recently
arrived from Lamona, Iowa, and has as
sumed charge of the mission work in Cali
fornia and Nevada. Mr.. Blairs subject
was Inspiration" He said:
"We believe that measure of inspira-
ton is extended TO all mankind and abides
with them until they reach condition of
total moral depravity. We disallow moral
depravity in the child and that it is the
result OF transgression of the law. We
hold that there are different degrees Of in
spiration. Columbus, for example, was in
spired of God in his work of discovery.
The trainers of the Declaration of indie
pendence and of the constitution were
also inspired for their work. All OF the
development in the art and sciences that
bless and embellish society are the work
of inspiration. Every good that is &C
complished, whether by Pagan, Pharisee,
Jew or Christian is result of divine in
spiration either direct or remote. The
gospel in its fulIness has been restored in
this dispensation in fulhllment of Bible
prophecies and, therefore, we claim that
people who receive the gospel and live in
faithful harmony with its provisions will
enjoy and do enjoy measures of the ex-
traordinary manifestation of the inspira-
ton of God. This is the foundation upon
which all churches and peoples may build
and attain the one faith, one hope, one
baptism and one body, being governed
and taught by the one spirit.

THE RUSSIAN CHURCH.
1t May Be Removed From This City
to an Eastern
State.

There is probability that the Russian
Cathedral on Powell street, near Filbert,
which is the single representative of the
Russo-Greek church in the United States,
will soon be deserted and that Bishop
Nicholas, with his assistants, will make
their headquarters in some Eastern city.
Pittsburg, Pa, has been mentioned.
The church has been long established in
this City. The Bishop takes his title from
Alaska.
For the past three months Bishop
Nicholas has been in Russia, having been
called there by his superiors to consult
upon certain church matters Just what
the nature of this business is remains a
secret, but it is understood that the re-
moval of the church is being seriously con-
sidered.
Upon inquiry at the church yesterday it
was stated by the Bishops under-secretary
that the return of his superior was not
looked for inside of two months at least.
He would not say though that the church
would be removed. He had heard the
matter spoken of, but did not know
whether it had ever been seriously con-
sidered

CRICKET IN THE HOT sun,
The AlamedaS and BOhemianS
Beat Their Foes With
Hands Down.
The Wickets We're Fast-Captains
Hood and Robertson
Score Heavily.

Yesterdays cricket matches proved two
things. First, that the games enthusiasts
are utterly impervious to the temperature,
and, second, that the strength of the re-
spective teams is badly out of balance.
At the Webster-street ground the Ala
medas met and defeated the Paciics with
an ease that Invested the game of all in
terest-from an onlooker's standpoint.
Captain Hood won the toss and took the
field. Five wickets of his opponents fell
before the telegraph registered double
figures. Although John Theobald came to
the rescue with well compiled u, the side
was disposed of for "a runs.
Against this total the captain of the blue
and whites himself contributed half CEN
fury, and when It's tenth wicket had fallen
his side had put together $50 runs. The
Pacifics played a second innings, but its
result, with that of their first, only brought
them within 80 runs of their adversaries.
The score:

letlc contest has for a referee such high
Official as the Governor of the State, ano
this fact in itself is what gave the Stockton
regatta such boom among the oarsmen
considerable interest was manifested IN
the senior race of the regatta. The Stock
ton crew promised to retrieve Its losl
laurels, and relied on the excessive heat to
knock out the oarsmen from the City. But
the neat dld not come, and the champion
south Enders won the race in walk-over
with the Stocktons second and the Pioneers
ffIeen lengths behind the leaders.
The members of the Pioneer Boat Club
mad $3.50 bet with the South Ends on this
race and they were surprised to see their
crew bringing up the rear after the hard
race they gave the South Ends IN the
recent regatta at Long Bridge.
The personnel of the South End senior
crew as 1t rowed in the regatta was
Henry Bode, bow; Robert Macarthur, for.
Wardwalst and captain; Gus Carson, after,
waist; Frank Duplissea. stroke; and
George McGrill, coxswain.
The Stockton crew has come to the con-
cluslon that light coxswain and good
racing barge is an important factor in
race: 1t will have new racing barge
built for the Sacramento regatta on the 9th
of September, and will also pick out some
light and clear-headed boy to handle the
rudder ropes against Doc Flynn and
George Merrill, the crack coxswains of the
local amateur barge crews. The present
barge rows like mudscow, and to this the
Stocktonians attribute their defeat.
1t has been long time since any of the
rowing clubs have succeeded in sharing
equal honors with the South Ends in a
regatta. The South Ends either win all or
majority of their races. But the Ariels
succeeded in balancing the scales with
them IN the recent regatta. They cap
tured the two junior races, while the South
Ends won the two senior events.
The Ariels are proud of their junior crew
and their little single sculler, K. McCaus-
land, who they predict a coming cham
plon. He won the junior race at Stock
ton in such candid style that they would
like to see him meet Frank Duplissea of
the South Ends, who wrested the cham
plonship laurels from Henry Wittkopf at
the same place.
The personnel of the Ariel junior crew
Is as follows: j. j. Nolan, bow and cap
tain; J. w. Pembroke, forwardwalst; r.
NJ. Ellis, afterwaist; w. F. Howe, stroke,
and Edward Wilson Jr., coxswain. They
row under the instruction OF Leander
Stevenson, one of the oldest oarsmen on
Long Bridge.
The boat clubs will soon put their crews
in training for the Admission-day regatta
at Sacramento, when the rowing season
will close.

Ex-Chief of Police James Cook is con-
fined to his home on Webb avenue with
illness. His condition is low, both men
tally and physically. While he was under
the influence of opiates on Friday, his son,

he was found in Los Angeles, when his
father INDUCED him and sent him money
