DR.. BROWNS FATE.
1t Is Believed That the Bay Conference
at Berkeley April IA Will Expel
Him From the Pulpit.

When the Bay Association and Bay
Conference of the Congregational church
meet at Berkeley April IA it is confidently
believed that their Joint labors will end
DIR. c. o. Brown career as pastor of the
First Congregational Church. That a
force is slowly gathering against him that
will sweep him away is the expression OF
several prominent members.
The committee of five on credentials Of
the Berkeley meeting will be in the court
of inquiry. Deacon CalebScudder, Deacon
l. II. Morse and three others not yet
known will compose the committee.
Tonight the First Congregational Church
in body will take up the expulsion and
communication of Mrs. Stockton,
charged with trying to extort money from
DR.. Brown. Her pert letter of resignation
which she wrote to the trustees was
ignored, as the Congregational church
does not receive and consider letters o1
resignation from members.

line with his remarks, but it was not con.
sidered proper in view of the fact that the
board had given the San Francisco repre-
sentatives thirty davs' time, and had re-
ferred their proposition to the law COM
mittee.
On motion of Superintendent Black, the
principals of Pasadena Polytechnical
School, the Cogswell, Lick and San Fran
cisco Polytechnical schools were invited to
come before the regents at the next meet

General Houghton spoke of the proba-

and substantial buildings, ght be offered
as site for the school.
Further consideration of the subject was
deferred until the regular meeting on the
second Tuesday in May.

reputable lot four votes against me. Messrs.
Truman and Davidson have been in the
small minority. Mr.. Truman is well

"The directors Claimed to have acted on

they never thought of such thing for a
moment. They claimed there was no ne
cessity for an attorney. yet there are 12O
suits to be brought against the stock
holders, and nineteen suits are pending
involving $500, 600. This does not include
the ordinary routine of the bank, requiring
advice OF counsel daily, nor does it take in
business in Arizona which was done by
local attorneys under my supervision.
The plan is to let the work out to different
attorneys. The institution is managed on

to be conducted as a semi political
machine, which is managed by Stone

Defeated Kamsin Very Handily
at Six Fur1ongs in Coast
Record Time.
xoBENGULA WON UNDER WRAPS
Rowena B Downed a Field of Twelve
Speedy Youngsters in the
Pacific Stake.

II appears to be no trick at all for the
sprinters to cover the six furlongs over the
Bay Districts fast clayey track in 1:13-
coast record time. II fact when Major
Cook defeated Kamsin very cleverly ii.
the sixth event yesterday, and stepped the
distance in the record notch, 1t failed to
attract more than passing comment. The
Major, carrying 104 pounds, was an even
money chance, and after William Pinker-
ton had reeled off the first half in Az
seconds, took command and headed the
game kamsin out a length at the wire.
There were but three starters.
The fact that stake event as well as
the usual selling and purse races had to be
decided attracted much better crowd
tnan on the opening day of the week, and
the betting was much iiveher. Three of
the seven events run off went to favorites
in the betting.
The Pacific stake for o-year-olds,
worth $500 TO the lucky young gster, at four
furlongs, drew out a field of twelve. The
Ell Primero stable entries, Lumina and
Fleur de Lis, had first call in the betting,
the rinE never laying better than IL to 5
against the pair. Rey del TERRA at threes
was the next most fancied, with the Burns
d Waterhouse duo, Rowena B and King
Street. third in demand at to l. The lat
ter stable opened in the betting at 212 to 1.
Long odds were obtainable against the
other starters. The start was. as usual,
good. Rowena soon headed the field of
gay colors and, clipping along at merry
rate, passed the wire two lengths clear OF
her stable companion, King Street who in
drive took the place from Howard S by
nose. The distance was covered in 481I
seconds.
Owner Pat Dunne annexed the purse in
the opening six-Turlong run with San
Marco. The chestnut colt was backed
down from to D to evens, and having q
most ordinary field to dispose OF won cas-
lily from the second choice, Candor.
In the next event, seven-furlong affair
decided under selling conditions, the to
choice, Hermanita, won only after some
very persuasive riding on the part OF Ed
die Jones. Mt Air, the second choice,
sailed out in the lead when the eight
starters were dispatched, and died away to
nothing in the stretch when looking all
over winner. Pollock, an outsider, then
took up the running and was beaten out
but three parts OF a length by the favorite.
The Flambeau-Fairy Rose tilly. Sweet
Rose, again disappointed her admirers in
the six furlopg dash that was third on the
card. Sent to the post an even money
choice. she ran well for half a mile and
then began falling TO the rear. In a hard
drive Piggott got the 21% to ! second
choice, Moryen, to the wire first, neck
in front of Crawford. Gold Bug was a
close third.
Green Morris cut a watermelon in the
fifth race with Strathhower, against which
the ring laid 5 to 1. The mare led all the
way, and won ridden out at the end half a
length before the 100 to 1 shot Seaside
ridden by Snider. The 4 to favorite
Thelma was beaten out the last Jump a

the death of her husband.
Mr.. Barton complained that his wife
was continually running him in debt, not
withstanding that he used to give her all
his money. Before he left this City about
a month ago he gave all the furniture and
household goods to his wife, and she de.
manded the key of the house from him,
thus virtually turning him out of doors.
He said that bis wife never worked
while he was with her. but that she spent
her time gadding about and talking spir-
itualism. He was obliged last June, he
said, to advertise in THE CALL warning
tradesmen not to furnish her any credit
on his account.
lie also contradicted the statement Of
Rev. NJ. V. Meserve, pastor of the Union
square Free Baptist Church, to the effect
that Barton took q contract for repairing
the church and did the work unsatisfac-
torily. The contract, he said, had been
taken by Mr.. Van Nortdel, Barton's part
ner in the carpentering and building busi-
ness. Mr.. Barton worked on the job and
Van Nortdel received the money.
The evangelist denounced as utterly
false his wife's statement that he told her
she could make $500 by representing her.

Rosa to the effect that his uncle was at the
Palace Hotel in this City was a mistake.
1t was the uncle of Mrs. Elizabeth Aver,
secretary of Mr.. Barton's society.
Mrs. Aver also returned from Santa
Rosa and the work of further evangelical

being Mr.. Barton's intention to hire a hall
this week. The followingis is the card of the
society:

There was quite heavy play on Rastus

the two-vear stake. The roam son of Flam'
beau, who is half brother to Tim and Pat
Murphy, was originally named Mike Muir

What the Farmers are Doing.

C, J. Samples is this season going to
try for the same profitable cantaloupe
crop which gave him such prominence
last year. 1t will be remembered that IN
1895 he had full weeks monopoly OF
the cantaloupe shipments from Rocky
Ford, his crop being that much in ad.
vance of all others. We suspect thai
other growers will this spring have his
profits in mind and try to divide the
honors and dollars of cantaloupe ship
ments next season.
Last year Walter Bishop, living Just
west Of Rocky Ford, was one OF the very
few farmers who raised any peaches. dde he
reports his prospects for crop IN 1880
as excellent, his trees showing evidence
OF most generous blossoming. 'aiiey
horticulturists do not ordinarily expect
peach crop, but when they do nave
peaches count it streak OF good luck.
when it is considered that if three crops
are obtained during the life OF peaGh
tree the planting and care will be amply
repaid, the growing of peach orcnard
is not such bad speculation after all.
