them. But az. to the signal-an
alarm was sent in that the cooper

rushed for the fire apparatus, down
Main street tugging at the ropes
they had no horses at that time,
they came afterwards-the snow
was about eighteen inches deep
and they pulled and pulled and
tugged, and yelled for help but no
help came in the shape of man.
Finally team of horses attached
to a sled came over the South
Fork Bridge and turned towards

we pressed them into service.
Down we went over the iron
bridge. We could find no water
there so we went back again to

onto the ice. A hole was soon
cut, the hose laid, the brakes
manned and a good stream OF
water was playing on the fire.
About eleven minutes afterwards
the crew began to throw water.
We did not hear of being drowned
after that. At this fire, j. Nj.

When he apples they are gathered

From Michigan to Kansas,

Their feet are all q itchin' for

An their stomachs they are achin'
For the feastin' to begin.
The boys are full of mischief,
An the men are full o. tricks

AWAKE TO SUFFERING,
Mrs. J. A. Folger Donates an
Ambulance to the Fabiola
Hospital.
President Yule Says Its Arrival
Marks an Epoch in Humane
Work.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL.l
90S Broadway, june 20.
There is an ambulance in Oakland. This
seems a very commonplace remark, but
had it been uttered two days ago it would
have been an untruth.
Although Oakland has always been con-
sidered philanthropic city, and although
being railroad terminus the number of
injured people brought is enormous, yet
the clumsy patrol wagon driven at break
neck speed has hitherto been the only
means of conveying suffering humanity to
hospital. For many years the sickening
sight has been witnessed at the depots of
mutilated men and women groaning with
pain being transferred from the train to
the patrol wagon.
This, however, is at an end. The fol-
lowing letter was received by Mrs. John
hYule yesterday afternoon:
WEDNESDAY, June 1S, 1896.
Mrs. John Yu1e President Of Fabioia Hospital
Associdtion-DEAR MADAM: l give this ambu-
lance to Fabiola Hospital hoping that the poor
souls will be carried to the hospital with more
comfort than in the past. hope it may prove
as much of a blessing to those who may re-
quire its help as 1t is to myself who sends it.
Most sincerely ELLEN FoLGER.

On the same day handsome ambulance
arrived in the city and was at once driven
out to Fabiola.
The following reply has been sent to the
donor, Mrs. j. A. Folger:

tdRd-DEAR MRS. FoLGER: Your letter making
known your noble gift OF ali ambulance to
Fabiola Hospital is before me, and in accept
irg for and in the name of the hospital this
splendid ambulance, | beg to tender you sim
cere and profound thanks.
As the Roman matron, Fabiola. gave to the
world the first hospital, the first home for the
SICK so you have given to the sick of Oakland
their first ambulance.
Your gift marks an epoch in the history of
hnmane work in our city, and June 1S, 1896,
will be memorable as the day when for the
first time appeared upon its streets a vehicle
carefully constructed with every safeguard for
comfortably conveying the sick and injured
the generous gift of Mrs. James A. Fo ger.
l Congratulate you, dear madam. that it has
been your privilege 10 do TINS, that for all
time the blessed consciousness must be yours
that you have given that which will be to
many souls source of safety ana comfort in
hours of great agony. Sincerely,
SARAH s. B. YULE
President Fabiola Hospital Association.

The Ownership of the Eureka Oil
Works Somewhat Mixed.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 20.-The efforts
of ]. J. Higgins to collect debt from the
Eureka Oil Works at West Berkeley has
complicated the ownership of the institu-
ton until it will take the courts to un-
tange affairs. 1t was the property of
Tiedeman & Cotton, but when Higgins
attached the works to secure a claim of
$4,000 Tiedeman transferred his halt-inter-
est to Higgins.
Cotton did not like this arrangement,
and Higgins took out $4,000 attachmeny
against Cotton's interest but when the
Sheriff attempted to make the levy he
was told that Cotton had transferred his
interest to w. G. Cotton. Higgins charges
this transfer was fraudulent and will test
the matter in court.

The officer is Jonn Irwin, who is appointed
university policeman by the Board of Re-
gents and special officer by the Board of
Town Trustees of Berkeley.
Dr. ]. H. G. Bonte secretary of the Board
of Regents, this afternoon declared that
no such event would be permitted on the
university grounds. "Ours is q State
University and as such should not permit
anything that is calculated to offend the
general publlc,' said he.
at has been the fashion to stop all work
and everything else at the university, and
surely an innovation will not be made for
the sake of baseball contest. Years ago
there were Sunday games of several kinds
on the college grounds, but the Regents
broke them all up, and it is long time
since anything of the kind has taken place.
"The university grounds are family
park every Sunday At this time of the
year they are thronged with visitors, who
enjoy the quietness and thu natural beau
ties of the place, and to allow baseball
game to intrude upon such scene would
be monStrouS.
Certainly the game will be stopped
If any attempt is made to bring ii off.
Such contest on Sunday on the grounds
of the University of California is unheard
of and will assuredly never oecur"
University Policeman Irwin was in
structed this afternoon to use his powers
to put an end to the contest if it should be
begun, and to arrest the principals should
resistance be offered. The managers of
the game, however decided to change
their plans and the Oakland Clippers and
Berkeley Stars Will cross bats at the
Whittier school.
