NOT A CHARIOT OF FIRE,
But the Next Thing to It, Thought
 Elijah Cross.

The Elijah of old was taken to heaven in q chariot of fire, the Eliiah of this story was taken to jail by Deputy Constable Henry Stewart.
 Tho store of A. H. Goodloe X Co. was burglarized by one Jerry Cross and his son, Elijah; but Elijah got the best, or rather, the most of it, on all sides. When it was discoy- cred that the store had been ''done' for a considerable amount of gro ceries, Henry Stewart sized the matter up. He knew that if there was anything to eat in the question, Elijah would be there. In Hoboken, where the ways of men are as dark as the streets they traverse, the hunger-stricken boy was found. He and his sister were devouring sar- dimes at wonderfully rapid rate. They didn't realize what they had gotten into-except the groceries until the fearful form of an officer of the law appeared before them. Elijah is now in jail.
 Jerry, the father of the luekless boy, decamped. Deputy Creed Fay Tor slept in the woods trying to find the runaway. About ? o'clock a. m. when all was still, as it usually is in the locality where the officer was watching, there came a low mur- mur like the breath of an impend- ing storm. Then there sounded a crash and vail like the sound Of a departing coyote. It was Jerry Cross. He had successfully passed the Taylor place.

FoRT WORTH, Tex. August l2.- August Sehrader, the self-styled "Divine Healer" played very brief engagement in Fort Worth.

He had manipulated about two or three thousand people, but Friday after noon he was the victim of many un- pleasant tricks. The sColndodger gang" took him in hand. This is . gang of young thieyish hoodlums and they wanted him to walk on the water, as he said he would. They said they would see that he did not drown, for they would tie rope to one of his feet, but he fled. The crowd followed him to the trolley car, throwing stones, some of which struch him.
 After the "healero got on the car some one struck him back of the neck with his fist He was not much hurt, however. Schrader went south on the Katy and left here completely exposed as being 3 ,x,.a4 an t;a,,c hmm hno

The Rev. W. K. PeErod's s Resigna tiOn Accepted by the Gongrega tion of the Sixth Avenue
 Baptist Church.

The GRAPHIC, short time ago mentioned the fact that the congre. gation of the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church refused to accept the resig- nation of their pastor, Rev. w. K. Penrod and that he had acquiesced in the decision of his flock and de- cided to remain here
 But when Mr. Penrod acquainted the Baptist congregation at Padu- cah, Ky, from whom he had call, of the action of his Pine Bluff con gregation, the former refused to ac- cept it as conclusive and insisted that they understood that he had accepted their call and was in duty bound to come to that place.
 Therefore, the Rev Penrod again offered his resignation to his Sixth Avenue congregation and insisted upon it's acceptance, which was done at meeting of that eongrega- ton last night. The resignation takes effect September l.
 MT. Penrod's many friends in this city will regret to part with him.

HIS CREMATORY ON HAND,
Schaffer Erected a Building but
His Plant Was Re.
jected.
Captain Hackett Awarded a Contract
That Is to Cover the Next
Ten Years.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL
QnQ Rrnad mau Ian 0f Z


Louis Sch after, ex-Chief of Police, has
lost his prospect of getting the garbage
contract. On the strength of certain ex-
pected support, he says, Schaffer built an
extensive scientific garbage crematory
near the Peralta marsh, and last night the
| Council awarded the bid to collect and de-
stroy the city's garbage to Captain John
! Hackett for ten years.
Before erecting that crem atory," said
! Mr.. Schaffer to-day, II talked with many
members of the Council, and they all en-
couraged me to go ahead. l heard of Cap
tain Hackett's plan and went'to San Fran
cisco to make inquiries, and was informed
| that the Government authorities would
forbid any dumping of garbage in-
side the heads. The Health Office
sent in an estimate to the Council
that $4,000 would be required TO
/ build crematory, $1,000 for site and $500
| per month for expenses. [ offered to build
! the crematory free of charge to the city,
and 10 destroy alr garbage for $3.50 per
month. After building the crematory, the
| contract is awarded to others.
Captain Hackett cannot possibly fulfill
! his contract. He intends to load the gar
| bage on barge and tow it out to sea. His
contract says it has to be taken away every
| day except Sundays. There has not been
day this year when barge could be
! towed outside the heads. The contract or
/ evidently thinks that he will be permitted
to dump into the bay, but the Dredging g
! Inspector informed me that such method
| would not be tolerated.
| City Attorney Peirsoa advised the Coun-
| Gil that the contract to Hackett for ten
years is not legal. but Peirsol, as a mem
bcr of the Board of Works, has been au-
! thorized to award the contract for ten
years, so he is at present little uncertain
| as TO his future action.
Captain Haekett has agreed that he will
not charge any more for collections than
! is being charged at present.
! A special meeting of the Board of Works
! has been called for tomorrow morning to
consider the matter

Nevada for some time. Mr.. Allen was an
engineer and made great deal of money.
The family was considered well-Jo-do and
was prominent socially Mr.. Allen was
among the very first engineers to run on
the Central Pacific road over the mount
aims and has never severed his connection
with the company. A number of his sons
have been brought up working for the
company from their boyhood days. They
all are considered good citizens and are
highly respected.
Among the seventeen children there
were four pairs of twins. After the chill
dren were born the family came to Cali
fornia and have resided here ever since.
W. S. Allen, next to the youngest son,
said to-day:
81 have desired for sometime past to
have mother placed where she could not
iniure herself, or any one else, but have
been deferred by dislike for publicity. She
was likely at any time TO attack any mem
Der of the family and had to be watched
all the time. She has been found with a
knife hidden on her person, and whenever
she could get a stick or cane she would
attempt to use it on any one within reach. !"
