Those are very pretty bricks. Ii l had

CH|PMAN'S OPPOSITION.
Men Charge That He Is Not
Competent nor Respectful to
the Rank and File.
Almost a Fire From a New.Fangled
Kerosene Light Plant-A
Divorce.

ALAMEDA, CAL, April 5.-No further
steps were taken to-day in the case Of Cap
tain Chapman. A visit from the regim entail
commander was expected, but not real
lied. The men were to have shot at the
High-street range, but the inclement
weather interfered and not much was
done in that direction. The opposition to
Chipman is very pronounced. There has
long been dissatisfaction, but it never cul-
minated in deliberate protest until the
annual muster. On that occasion the
men mustered in full strength as to num-
bers, but their drill was lamentably weak.
The captain, in putting them through the
manual, made some gross errors in tactics
before the regimental and inspecting Of
fcers, which greatly humiliated the rank
and file. Other cause for complaint is
that he is given to haranguing the men,
and on occasion to address them excitedly
and in terms that are neither military nor
complimentary. 1t is related that once,
upon parade, when some of the men were
displaying undue levity, or at least were
lacking in attention, the captain angrily
shouted, "Attention, there! Be men; don't
be skunks!" The petition requesting Cap
tain Chipman's removal reads as follows:
10 Colonel u. u. td1r6QnfS, COnannG71def FVth
Regiment Second Brigade, National Guard Of
California, Petattma, Cdl.-SIR: We, the un-
dersigned members of Company 6, Fifth Regi-
ment, Second Brigade, National Guard of Cali
fornia complain of Captain w. F. Chapman,
commanding said company, and respectfully
represent to you as follows:
That the said Captain w. F. Chipman is in
competent to command said company, and on
various occasions has shown his incompetency.
We particularly specify Thursday evening,
March 26, 1886, being the annual muster and
inspection of said company, and on which oc-
caslon the said Captain w. F. Chapman was
incompetent in the performance OF his duties
as said captain.
We make this complaint under paragraph
S35 Laws and Regulations Governing the Ma
tional Guard of the State of California and we
beg to request that proper proceedings be
taken in the matter at once.
We make this complaint from no prejudice
whatever, but believe it to be for the best well
fare of our company and regiment. We beg to
remain yours respectfully.
There is no question about this petition
being signed by sufficient number of the
men to make action upon it imperative if
it is ever presented, out it is believed the sit
uation will be relieved in some way that
will obviate the necessity of taking the
extreme actio n that would necessarily fol-
low the for m al presentation of the docu-
ment.

WILL Be BROUGHT BACK,
Mrs. Emma York Must Stand
Trial on a Charge Of
EmbeZzlement.
Got Away With Twenty-Five Thou
sand Dollars Belonging to
Her Sons Estate.

Emma York, the mother OF the late Fred
Gibson, who is charged with embezzling
$22, 500 belonging to the estate of the latter,
and who was arrested yesterday at Denver,
will be brought back to this State for trial.
Detective Crockett will leave this City this
morning for Sacramento, carrying with
him the necessary documents on which
Governor Budd will be asked to apply to
the Governor of Colorado for the extradi-
ton of the accused woman.
John E. Richards and Messrs. Delmas
& Shortridge, who are the attorneys for
the widow of the late Fred Gibson, whose
death in this City on March % last will be
| recalled, were in consultation with the
heads of the Police Department yesterday
and decided on the immediate extradition
of Mrs. York. The lawyers for Mrs Glib
son set forth that this money belongs to
the estate and must pass through the
regular legal channel along with the bal
ance of the property. 1t is in fact the
principal part of the estate to which Mrs.
Gibson sets up her claim.
When Mrs. York who absented herself
from the obsequies over the remains Of her
son in Sacramento, left for Fredericton a
few hours after the body of her offspring
was borne to the grave, Richards and Del
mas IL Shortridge were soon apprised of the
fact. and at once instituted search for
her with the result of her apprehension at
Denver.
She got possession of the money during
her sons late illness in San Francisco
This money she turned over to another
son, James A. Gibson, who took 1t to
Sacramento.
He was arrested for grand larceny. but
on showing a receipt for the $22, 800 fro m
his mother the charge against him was
dropped ana the trail of Mrs. York, who
bought a ticket from the railroad agent
under the name of Emma Brewer, was at
once taken up.
The complaint charging Mrs. York with
the embezzement of the money was sworn
to by Mrs Della A. Gibson, her daughter
in-law. 1t is not thought that there will
be any unnecessary delay caused in the
extraditlon of the woman.

90S Broadway, April 5.
The slight frosts of last Wednesday and
Thursday mornings made inroads on the
currant crops at San Leandro. What
promised to be heavy yield is now some
what problematical. Prunes, plums and
apricots are expected to show some result
of the frost later on. The thermomete
registered as low as 33 deg. in San Leandro
Wednesday morning.
The apricot crop of Alameda County has
been greatly overestimated. Growers re-
port that very little thinning will be re-
auired.
G.. NJ. Buck of San Lorenzo estimates that
he lost $4,000 tomato plants on account of
the frost, which is reported to have been
particularly hard on vegetables.

Calhoun and S. V. Dubois. The result of
this shipment is awaited with much
anxiety, not only by those who shipped,
but by all those interested in the pro-
duction of rhubarb.
The cannery of Hunt Brothers at San

The reports from all over the county

NEW PEOPLE.
They Are Not Modern Gre ations of
Fashion but Were Clearly Out
lined by Paul.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 5.-The Twenty
first street Free Baptist Church was most
beautifully decorated yesterday in honor
Of the Easter festival, and the music was
of superb character. AT the Easter even
ing concert the pastor. Rev. Philip Graft,
delivered a brief address on 'The New
Man."
He said in part: "The new man or the
new woman is not spick-spaw original
fin de steele phrase, but an old term, ooing
good service in Paul's idealistic theology.
With him the old man is human nature
in its unwashed and unregenerate aspects,
creeping on all fours and lust-ridden, liv-
ing for pelf and palate, while the new man
is creature who has put off the seamy
robe of sin and forsaken the swine trough
levels of experience and is daily pattern
ing his life and habits in the image of
Christlikeness. No matter what mere
moralists may say of the power of self
culture, reform is but skin-deep process
if the very substance of the soul remain
unframed and untransformed. Sometimes
simple scratch or pin prick will reveal
the Hottentot that sleeps beneath the
Sybarite 5uavity or the Atuic polish. The
new man is not tailor made, nor nodded
out of a cosmos of Chesterfieldian graces,
nor an idol of academy or mart, but a
being who tries, in true guise and holy
passion, to be fashioned after the perfect
Christ ideal. Unless a man is year by
year growing sweeter in spirit. finer in the
moral sense. braver in burden bearing,
reader and ampler for deeds of self
sacrifice, more evenly poised and more
radically genuine, he is in peril of spiritual
decadence.
Just as neither balloon sleeves or
Easter dainty hat, neither bloomers or
ballot box create the new woman, but
only her development into better and
more useful angel of mankind, so the new
man is not constructed out of bits of
veneering or draperies OF gold lace, but out
OF diviner life of aspiration and duty.
To make temptation the stepping stones
and pedestals of triumph, to hail pangs of
doult and whirls of change for the sake of
more love of soul, to contend Tor prizes
that bless others rather than win applause
for ones self, 10 environ secular things
with an atmosphere of sacredness, to make
religion as practical as the golden rule, to
freight every footstep with benedictions
like the divine Nazarene-this is the mis-
sion and glory of the new man.

ALAMEDA. CAL, April 5.-Complaints
against Joseph limerick and Charles
Powell, charging each with maintaining a
gamb bling place, were sworn to this morn
ing by City Attorney Taylor. limerick
and Powell conduct cigar-stor and it is
alleged that poker games are run in con-
nection with the stores. The action by
Mr.. Taylor is in the capacity of priva te
citizen.
The complainant, in published inter-
view. says that the poker-rooms are q
great menace to the young men of Ala

forms of gambling. He says:
Sitting in my Office after midnight can look
out of my window and see what is going on in
PowelFs upstairs rooms. Then when l go

rooms are patronized until the early hours OF
morn.
If am not successful in this prosecution I
will go even further TO cause the arrest OF the
persons who let the premises for the purpose

the evil.

Kerosene lamps fed by system of pipes

dripping coal oil was blazing. Being hieh
up toward the ceiling it could not be read :
lily reached, and the flames attained con-
siderable headway before they could be
whipped out with blankets and cloths.
Before the oil could be turned off at the
reservoir great deal had run down on the
floor and ignited, and as water was thrown
