FIRE AT ASpAALT0.
Plant of the Standard Asphalt Company
Is Reduced to Total
Wreck

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, June 16.-Fire
broke out in the refining works of the
Standard Asphalt Company at Asphalto
Saturday morning, which resulted in the
complete destruction of the plant. 1t APP
pears that the man in charge of the ket-
ties was about to make test of oil, when
a lamp suspended above one of the kettles
either exploded or some volatile gases from
the heated oil took fire from the lamp and
in few minutes the entire refinery, said
to have cost $4,000, was in flames, and
also about 100 barrels of oil. The heat
caused several large steel drums contain
ing oil to explode, and in one or two cases
drumheads were shot a distance of 100
yards with terrible force, making it very
dangerous for the men employed in trying
to save adjoining property.
On the platforms above the kettles there
were about $50 tons of asphalt ready for
refining, which, of course, being so close
to the latter, was entirely consumed. Fire
burned all day. as long as there was any
thing infammable, as no means were at
hand for extinguishing the flames.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 16.-The will of
the late Chauncey Taylor was presented
for probate to-day by his wife, Sarah j.
Taylor, and his son, William Fl. Taylor,
who were named as executrix and execu-
tor in the instrument. 1t was dated Janu-
airy 26, 1894. and is signed by Victor 81.
and George D. Metcalf as witnesses.
Testator declares the whole estate to be
community property and rati6es the statu-
tory provision, whereby his wife would have
been allowed half-interest had he died
intestate. He bequeaths $4,000 to each of
his children, Bertha Isabel Foote (wife of
w. w. Footel William H. Taylor and
Henry B. Taylor; to his brother, Henry

the benefit and support of his sister
(Henrietta r. Taylor of Oakland) during
her life; to Augusta Graves, a sister in
Alameda, $1,000; to Francis Taylor,
brother in Brooklyn, N. Y, $4,000, pro-
vided all Indebtedness be first deducted.

land, is bequeathed $1,000, but the brother
in San Francisco John Taylor, is omitted,
he already being we'll provided for. The
children of Mr.. and Mrs w. w. Foote are
each given $1,000; his two faithful house
hold employees, Stewart Irwin and Bridget
Clancy" $500 each. The balance of the

CHOCOLATES.

Products of Cocoa That Are Considered
Useful for Many Purposes.
Chocolates are merely combinations OF
cocoa and sugar, with some favoring, al
lowed to cool IN forms and sold as solid
cakes to be shaved up before using. They
generally contain more oil than cocoa sold
in tins, and the cheaper sorts are mixed
with starch, etc.
The by-products of cocoa are of consid-
cradle value, cocoa butter being highly
valued to cure irritations of the skin, as
an ointment for the nursery in place OF
vaseline, etc. Cocoa butter will not stain,
nor become rancid, being proof against
oxidation or capitalization. 1t is used
largely in making suppositories, for olllng
guns and for various uses in the arts, and
in making soaps, pomades, CONNECTIONS,
etc. 1t sells at 80 to 80 cents pound
Wholesale.
The cocoa shells are also sold in many
stores as cheap substitute for cocoa, be-
ing rich in cocoa flavor and the stimulant
principle. The use of cocoa, it may be
seen, has market value over that of tea
or coffee. These beverages are mere in
fusions or decoctions, containing little
nutriment and, as rule, more OF hurtful
ingredients in the way of fannie acid or
narcotic stimulants. Cocoa, on the con-
trary, being usually made with at least
half milk, has the extra nutriment of the
milk to begin with. 1t then has valuable
heterogeneous elements, considerable starch
and more or less cocoa fat, all highly nu-
tritious.-NeW York Tribune.

One Is Forced to Move Her Large
Cottage Twenty-Five Feet
Away.
POLICE COURT CHAPTER.
Mrs. Dass Thought Mrs. Frisbie's
Chickens Could Fly Over
the Moon.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, !

OAhLANO OftlCE DAN ERANClSCO GALL,f
sos Broadway, June 16.
Building celestial fences as a means of
preventing a neighbor from looking at a
flower garden is not new to Oakland, but
one has just been completed in East Oak
land that caused the injured party to
move her house twenty-five feet so as to
be able to see out of the windows. This is
not the worst of the affair. After moving
the house the aggrieved party discovered
that by an appeal to the Fire Commission
the fence could have been legally removed.
The trouble is between two ladies. Mrs.
Frisbie owns one house, and is a very
agreeable colored lady. Mrs. Dass owns
the other, and was born on the border
land of Switzerland and Italy. Mrs. FRS
bic is passionately fond of chickens, and
Mrs. Dass is enamored of flowers. There
was little fence originally between the
two houses, but it was hen-tight but not
chicken-tight. The little b-oilers pushed
their way through the fence to promenade
among the flowers. Trouble followed, and
Mrs. Frisbie invested in lot of laths and
tried to make the fence proof against the
chickens.
The mixture of stakes and laths did
not suit the artistic eye of Mrs. Dass, and
a short time ago a fence was built that
competed in height with the chimney.
Mrs. Dass, previous to having the high
fence built, had open trouble with Mrs.
Frisbie. There are different stories told
about how it all happened, but it is known
that Mrs. Frisbie was the battered party
and that she had Mrs. Dass arrested.
When the case was called Mrs. Frlsbie re-
Tented and withdrew the case, SO that
IL is doubtful who was the guilty party.
The high fence built by Mrs. Dass was
close to the windows of the Frisbie house,
and so blocked out all daylight that Mrs.
Frisbie was compelled to move her house
to the other side of her lot, distance of
% feet.
"This is an old game of Mrs. Dass,"
said Mrs. Frisbie to-day, "and 1 had to
move my house because / was frightened
that her fence might burn down and my
house would be in danger. Now 1 have
been told that if l had made complaint
about the fence to the Board of Fire War
dens they would have ordered it to be re-
moved.
II have been told that when Mrs. Dass
resided in San Francisco there was similar
trouble, and that her neighbors had to
make sacrifice before Mrs. Dass would
move"
Mrs. Dass says she has simply done
what was necessary to protect her flower
garden, and denies that she has habit of
building aerial fences. A glance at the
fence shows that Mrs. Dass has great adj
miration for the soaring capacity of Mrs.
Frisbie's hens, as the boards are as high
as the middle of the roof. Either party is
willing to sell, but neither will make
sacrifice.

San Jose, a weeks stay at an Oakland
hotel, and finally the organization of
the American Dramatic Company and

proved the last straw to his mother and
elder brother, with whom he has resided,
and resulted in the call homeward and
the long stay at home.

acts. Maurice ii. Chick was cast for the
role of hero, Charles Eggleston was to sus-
tain the character Of the villain of the
piece, and various other roles were to be

suspense, dispersed in despondency.

home. HIS friends, who are very well

PHENOMENON OF THE TIDE RIP.

Two Stowaways Who Travelled Around
the Globe Without Spending. a Cent.
A "tide rip" phenomenon of the sea was
encountered in the Indian Ocean recently
by the ship Francis. which arrived at this
port yesterday, says the Philadelphia
Record. The tide ran in many directions
apparently almost at the same time and
the big ship was whirled around by it like
top or took peculiar and cratic sheers
until she became uncomfortable and could
not be kept on her course. 1t was feared
at times that she would go to pieces, for
the tide seemed to increase in force. For
fourteen hours the Francis was at the
mercy Of this peculiar action of the ocean
currents and soon afterward cyclone
struck and partially dismasted her, dis
aster which has been before reported
Two stowaways, William M. Beatty and
Stephen Munday, who had Travelled all
the way around the globe without the ex-
penditure of a cent, were brought on the
Francis from Passaroean, Java. They
were formerly members of the crew of the
British steamship Rio, which arrived at
there for Philadelphia. In some way
they were left behind by the Rio, and then
they slowed away in the coalroom of the
Francis, where fuel is kept for the
donkey engine and other uses. They
were discovered several days after the
Francis left Passaroean, and there was no
alternative but to bring them along on
the long voyage, which lasted III days.
An examination made by the immigra-
ton officials developed the fact that one
of the men, Beatty, was native of Florida
and the other an .Englishman. They were
glad TO leave Java, being unable to earn
more than 10 cents a day.

Hodgkins, who made the capture of the
two alleged gold-brick swindlers, "Big
Foot" Gordon and Asssyer Root, told his
work on the case in the Superior Court to-
day. Every technical point was raised by
the defense possible and slow progress was
made.
Judge Greene reminded the jury, after
he noon recess, that they had been eau
toned not to talk about the case. He had
been informed that certain membe had
been talking of something which might
and which might not be the case involved.
He desired to warn them that he would
not allow his orders disobeyed.
L. W. Hewlett arose and said he was
probably the one referred to, but declared
that he was talking of another matter and
had never mentioned the case to any one.

IMPURE BOTTLED CREAM
Point Reyes Company Has Its
Speciality Confscated by the
Inspector.
Election Pledges Bar to Impartiality.
Justice Swasey Has Still
Grievance.

ALAMEDA, CAL, June 16.-No more
Point Reyes Company's bottled cream will
be sold in Alameda. Veterinary Inspector
T. Carpenter has confscated over fifty bot
ties of the cream, as he has found several
bottles in a state of decomposition. He
made the discovery at a produce store on
the corner of Railway avenue and McPher-
son street, and subsequent visits to other
stores told the same tale. The local agent
had none on hand, as he had found the ar
ticle was not success and reshipped his
consignment.
Pledging Beforehand.
ALAMEDA, CAL, June 16.-E. A.
Cohen, who appeared for the protestants
last night against the opening of Yer
sailles avenue, surprised the City Trus-
tees by questioning their right to consider
the case, as their election pledges were
bar to impartial consideration or his case.
He cited the action of the Southern Pa
cific in denying the legality of acts OF two
of the members of the Railroad Commits
sion, inasmuch as before their election
they had pledged them selves to reduce
freights.
He held that the same argument applied
in his case, because Chairman Forderer
and Trustees Leydecker and Hammond
had pledged themselves before election to
open all streets in the city. He intimated
that the read was not going 10 be opened
until the property-owners saw that the
opening would benefit them.
A Justices Grievance.

Swasey still maintains he has grievance
against the Police Department. He drew
the attention OF the Trustees to the matter
in January last and again in March. Or
DIV r. @
ties to divide the cases equally between
the two justices, Morris and Swasey.
Justice Swasey last night pointed out how
the Trustees orders had been disobeyed.
and suggested the drawing up of an or
dinance requiring the Marshal to make
monthly report to the board of all cases
brought before the courts and how they
have been disposed Of The idea last
night was to burke the matter. Trus-
tee Hammond told the board that it knew
quite we'll that the City Marshal had de-
clared he would never bring a case up be-
fore Justice Swasey, and as that gentle
man was an appointee of the county his
redress lay there.
Eventually the matter was referred to
the board as a committee of the whole.
Justice Swasey is very wroth at the &C
ton of City Marshal Rogers. He said
this morning: This robbery has been go
ing on for the past ten years. When Tap
pan was Justice, Rogers was a constable
and Morris his deputy. 1t began then and
it has been kept UP ever since, and pro-
pose now to fight this matter to finish"

Fire Department f. K. Krauth Jr. met
with an accident while attending the fire
on Regent street on Monday morning that
has confined him to his home. He was on
a ladder when it broke and tumbled him
into the fire. He was at once pulled out,
but his hand and foot were burned and
his back was strained.

1.-THE CHINESE MUST cor
That Is, if They Persist in
Violating the State
Laws.
Efforts of the Attorneys TO Discredit
Court Officials Fail to Save
Their Clients.
OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALL,

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL
90S BROADWAY, June 16.
The persistence of Chief of Police Lloyd
in his efforts to clear Oakland of Chinese
gambling dens and lottery dealers is at
last bearing fruit, as two houses on San
Pablo avenue have had to close up perma-
nentIy. The keeper of one of these served
a term in prison and had only been out
three days when he again found himself
in the clutches of the law. Since that time
he has concluded that it does not pay to
fight officials who do their duty and en-
force the law.
The Joint on Tenth street, between
Broadway and Franklin, has not reopened
since the last raid of the police, but it is
believed that the proprietor is only await
ing time when he believes the officers
have relaxed their vigilance a little, as he
yet keeps a stock of goods in the store
which has served as a blind in former
years.
An attorney imported from San Fran
cisco attempted to have the prosecution
thrown out in case tried last night, on
the ground that the men who bought the
lottery tickets from the defendant were
accomplices of the lottery.
He also attempted to bar out expert tes-
LlUuOug III ICBdiu W 4ObbCiJ t1ChCtS anu
lottery drawings, but Judge Wood over
ruled him without effort.
When Hen Wong, the convicted lottery
dealer, was called for sentence to-day his
attorney presented an affidavit signed by
Thomas F. Agnew, in which the latter
charges Officer Curtis with suggesting to
him that he go on lottery jury and vote
for conviction and said, Don't say any
thing to your brother Tom about this, be-
cause if you do he will tell Schaffer and it
will be all off, (Tom Agnew was ex-
Chief Schaffer's clerk.)
The affidavit was the basis of motion
for a new trial on the ground that the
officer who summoned the jury was
prejudiced, but the court continued the
case until tomorrow that subpoena might
be issued for Mr.. Agnew SO he can be ex-
amined in court.
Officer Curtis denies the contents of Ag-
news affidavit, but says Agnew proposed
that he be placed on jury, saying that he
had it 'in'' for Clarity, one of the lottery
dealers attorneys, as the latter had done
him some dirty" work. He further said
that the whole affair looked like a scheme
of the old Chapman Schaffer crowd to get
back at some one.
