THAT TROPHY IS Wan TED,
The San Francisco Club Has It's
Eye on the Challenge
Cup.
The Alameda Bed in the Little Jim
Ward" Will Be Declared Open
Next Friday.

ALAMEDA, CAL, June 2.-The men,
bers of the Encinal Yacht Club were
thrown into state OF excitement last
night by the receipt of a challenge from
the San Francisco Yacht Club for
possession of the challenge cup at present
under the care of the Alameda yachtsmen.
Last year the Encinals were the winners,
and Commodore Leonard's energy i'll
building the Ell Sueno, and then showing
such clean pair of heels to the Queen,
was much talked of in yachting circles as
redounding to the credit of Alameda.
The challenger this time is Captain
Sutherland, with his sloop Catherine.
She measures only % feet over all, thus
disqualifying the Ell Sueno from compet-
ing, az her length is 81 feet. The Encinals
are not strong in the 25-foot class, their
best boats being the Florence and the
Fawn, vet they say positively that the
challengers will know they have been in
a race when it is all over. What surprises
them is that the challenge is made out of
the Ell Sueno's class, seeing that 1t is a
well-known fact that Captain Billings of
the Corinthians is building yacht fash
ioped on the Ell Sueno's lines, and which
when completed is to try conclusions
with the local crackajack.
have yachts that are said to be able todi s.
tance the Catherine in any kind of
weather, such as the Truant. owned by
Captain Pew of the corinthians. The
Encinals say he would not, as true sport
man, try for the cup because his boat was
not in the same class as the champion.
So far no date nor particulars for the
contest ave been decided on.

:. :: 90S Broadway, June 2. !
- DR.. Sahusac has left Alameda, as he was
/: not at all ANXIOUS to again feel the weight
: of:Dr. Cranz's brawny fists.
: About q week ago the two doctors met
/: on an Oakland ferry boat. They met very
>iorcibly. DR.. Cranz's knuckles connected
with Dr.. Cahusac's nose and the thousand
:: passengers on the boat were treated to a
free boxing exhibition for glory only. The
" story of the encounter was told in THE
: GALL next morning.
-: Cahusac was an accountant in A. D.
: Wilder's Office and after DR.. Cranz had
!: trounced him publicly for insulting his
;: wife and daughter lie threatened to repeat
=: the dose unless an apology was rendered
: that evening. The same evening Cahusac,
!: 1t is now learned, did TWO things. He
: went to DR.. Cranz and apologized and he
also wrote out his resignation to Mr..
Wilder. Next morning he did not show
up at his desk and few days later he left
town, supposedly for Denver, and his wife
and children are also gone, and his friends
would like to hear from him.
:. ..Cahussc, whose card reads Dr." has
: always been regarded as a man of mystery
He is an Englishman and was we'll pro-
Yided with credentials testifying to his
various abilities as a scientist and pro-
lessor Of languages. He first appeared on
:. this coast about five years ago, at that
time as a very devout religionist II was
always matter OF wonderment among
=his acquaintance why man of such
marked ability should be adrift On this
coast with no settled plan. He referred
=. very little to his past, and it was always
thought that if he would he could tell a
good story. He was engaged in Wilder
office about year ago and his resignation
coming so suddenly was a great surprise.
His brother clerks say that it was not en-
tirely because Of his trouble with DR..
'Cranz that he resigned, although they can
only guess at any other possible reason, as
Cahusac was very close mouthed and was
not very popular.
Inquiry ct his late residence proved that
the family had left, and that no one knew
where they had gone. The neighbors say
that Cahusac was not seen on the ferry
:boat, and that his wife left about a week
later. DR.. Cranz stated at the time that
Cahusac had attempted liberties with mis-
wife and young daughter, and that 1t was
done while Cahusae was regarded as a
friend of the family. The iatter's diploma,
emitting him to pose as doctor" has
never been seen, and it is believed that he
cleared out, not knowing but that DR..
Crsnz might leaIn sufficient to warrant
him in pressing the matter further.

SWAMP LAND FUNDS.
Supervisors Requested to Assist in Bear
ing the Expense of Investi eating
the Treasurer's Books.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-The finance
committee of the Board of Supervisors is
to decide whether Alameda County shall
take a hand in having the State Treasurer's
Office Investigated. A letter was received
to-day from Messrs. P. @. Jurgens and
S. L. Hogue, acting as committee from
the Fresno County Board of Supervisors,
asking that the board of this county assist
in bearing the expense of exporting the
books of that office in relation to the
swamp land funds. The letter says:
Gentlemen: Having been appointed by the
Board OF Supervisors of Fresno County on
April o. 1885, as committee to confer with
the counties OF this State interested in swamp
land matters, we take the liberty to address
you with reference thereto. partial 1nvesti-

apparent discrepancy of about Al per cent of
the money paid by the treasurer of this county
to the State.
Our county would like to know what became
of the money, and 1t was suggested to the
Board of Supervisors that perhaps number
of the counties interested (and your county is
one) would join together and thus make the
expense OF each small. The State records show
that Fresno County paid to the State up to
July 27, 1868, the sum of $41 1863 II. After
this da te the State received no swamp land
moneys.

ME THODISTS' TROUBLES,
Talk of Dissatisfaction on Ac.
count of E. A. Girvin'S
Doctrines.
Opinions Of the President of the Board
of Education on Male
Teachers.

BERKELEY, CAL, June 2.-The report
was spread abroad in Berkeley yesterday
that split wes about to take place in the
Trinity Methodist Church as result of
the teachings of E. A. Girvin TO his Bible
class as to the near approach of the mil
lennium.
a canvass among some of the prominent
and active mem bers to-day failed to
reveal anything but harmony in the circles
of the church. A new Bible class has been
formed besides the one conducted by Mr..
. Girvin, but its members say that the pur-
pose in view when the class was formed
was the training of teachers, and not to
Offset the views with regard to the second
coming of Christ as held by Mr.. Girvin.
Mr. Girvin is a San Francisco business
man and deacon of the church, who has
been conducting some of the pastoral
work during the absence IN Europe OF
Rev. DR.. Bentley.
Favors Male Teachers.
BERKELEY, CAL. June I'm a
lengthy and exhaustive report to the
Board of Education last night President
Boone recommended that a four-vear
high school course be instituted instead of
the present three-year course. he argued
that an additional year Is necessary in
order that pupils may be fully prepared
for the university. He ADVISED the chang
ing of the regular ninth grade course so
as to make it q first year OF tour-year
high school course.
President Boone also declared in favor
of appointing a City Superintendent OF
Schools, his duties to be that OF oversee
ing the various schools OF the town.
He believed this to be necessity on
account Of the lack of uniformity between
the schools which at present exists be-
cause of the differences in teachers and
the lack of a complete, harmonious
system.
Mr.. Boone also placed himself on record
as being in favor of the employment OF
larger proportion of male teachers, not
because of the inability OF the women SO
far as teaching was concerned, but on ac-.
count of the demand for masculinlty IN
the presence of a body OF self-assertlve
youths.
He said: "There should be the pos
sible look of thunder in the man, as we'll
as the soft octave voice of the woman."
The Congregational Church.
BERKELEY, CAL, June 2.-The trus-
tees of the First Congregational Church
are about to begin the erection of chapel
and Sunday-school room adjoining the
main edifice, to cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The proposed Sunday school room will
have seating capacity OF $50, while the
prayer-meeting and Infant-class rooms
will accommodate over 100.
A kitchen and storeroom for entertain

conducting special revivals, and the feel
ing between them is not of that perfectly
harmonious nature that is expected to
exist between pastors of the same faith
doing the same work.
Rev. James Small of the First Christian
Church feels that he is the aggrieved
party. He says that Rev. Edwards Davis
OF the Central Christian Church opened
his rational revival" for ten days only,
with the understanding that at the end of
that time Rev. Mr.. Small should have a
clear right of way in the evangelical field.
When the ten days expired Mr.. Davis
was having such success that his trustees
prevailed on him to continue, and not
constituting his verbal agreement with
Mr.. Small as having been final one he
agreed.
A few days ago the placards announcing
the rational revival of Mr.. Davis were
covered or duplicated by the placards of
Especial revival by Mr.. Small.
Whether Rev. James Small meant any
thing or not is not known, but to-day he
sent out notice in his own handwriting
that reads as follows:
The revival at the First Christian Church
continues with interest and additions. Mr..
Small, the pastor, is holding forth to good au-
diences, and the social element is coming TO
the front in the meeting. Nothing of a sensa-
tional nature characterZes the services. The
preacher says he will not stand on his head
and try and spit into his vest pocket TO amuse
anybody.
When Rev. Edwards Davis saw his
brother minister's announcement he said:
Rev. Mr.. Small agreed that my meetings
should begin first and continue two weeks
and, ii the success warranted they should con-
tinue indefinitely. When the two weeks were
up we again met, and it was decided that 1t
would be advisable for the First Church to
begin its postponed meetings. as the audiences
would be different and cause no conflict what
ever.
There can never be discord with me- as it
ALWAYS takes two to disagree. MY opinion of
my co-laborer, Rev Mr.. Small is the highest,
and am confident OF his success. AS for the
reference TO vest pocket | do not believe he
ever said such thing, and even If he did he
did not refer to me or anything have done.
Rev. Edwards Davis is known as the
boy actor-prea cher, and believes in any
method that will carry conviction to the
hearts of his audience. II he can teach a
better lesson from the death scene in
"Richard III'' than he can from a text
from the Bible Shakespeare will supply
the inspiration. A negro story will be
illustrated by delicate shuffilng OF feet
In the pulpit; and other things OF like
character have helped to build up large
congregation. His church members re-
gard the reference o. Rev. James Small to
not standing on his head" to "amuse"
anybody as a reflection on their pastor,
and do not appreciate it. Judging by the
size of their audiences there is a demand
for both kinds of revivalism, as both
churches are filled every night.

KILLED A BOY.
The Berkeley Local Adds Another
Victim to Its West Oakland
Record.

OAKLAND, CAL. June LARRY Moore,
the nine.y .year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence Moore of sS3 Cedar street, while
out playing with his seven-year-old
brother at the foot of Goss street this
morning, was struck and almost instantly
killed by the Berkeley local as it was COM
ing from the pier.
The boys were watching the overland
coming from the Sixteenth-street station,
and did not hear the local, owing to the
noise. The younger boy was off the track
and escaped injury.
This is the same point at which woman
was killed recently. There have been q
number of deaths at this place. The COM
pany keeps two fagmen stationed there,
but they could not warn the boy in time to
save him,

necessity for increased accommodation at
the High School and outlined plan for
increasing the same at moderate cost. The
matter was referred to the building COM
mittee.
r. H. Swayne, as spokesman for some
twenty gentlemen who were present, laid
before the board a grievance which be
and others had against the board. He
com plimented the Superintendent OF
Schools for the admirable course OF study
laid out last year for instruction in the
schools, but he complained that it was not
carried out, or where carried out vas only
done in half-hearted way. He cons1d-
cred the teachers were at fault and asked
the board to see that the teachers did
their duty or TO get teachers who would.
j. K. Lynch, cashier First National Bank,
San Francisco, spoke in the same strain
and canvassed the methods used by the
teachers in instructing their classes. He
considered the work done by the schools
fell short of the work done by schools in
Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco.
II. A. Holt, C. E. Naylor and others all
spoke in the same manner.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-Chief Jailer
Lane has proved to his associates and
Sheriff Write that were he prisoner in
the County Jail, he would escape in very
short order. Some time ego a prisoner
left without asking leave by scaling the
wall where it joined the building, just
under the jailer's window, at noontime.
While discussing the matter Jailer Lane
declared he could do the same trick. As
result OF the banter he went out and made
a trial. Chief Deputy Sheriff Charles
White held the watch while the others
stood about to guy the tall jailer when he
failed in his attempt. But they were con-
siderably amazed to see him disappear
over the wall in less than three minutes.

yisors will be requested to make some

sted 70 the various counties, Fresno receiving
S24 .47S 81. leaving an apparent discrepancy
OF S15, ,964 26, or about 90 per cent of the
amount paid.
we believe that an exporting of the State
books would save to this county the greater
portion of this amount and the proportion on
Ali demands now being or heretofore made
against the county for moneys paid in prior to
july 1868 if not already refunded, and that
where refunded the same be recovered by
the counties, if the statute OF limitations does
not run
lieye that the result of the examination would
save YOUR county in the same proportion as
our own. l.
We believe that thorough Investigation of
sWamp-land matters, as above, and also subse-
ouent to the time payments were made to the
State, would result in a large saving to the
counties interested, and we believe that it
would be to the financial benefit of your county
that you appoint committee TO confer with
us and others on this matter.
