600, but was purchased by local parties for
little less than SO 600. She will be
owned and operated by local company
in which the Eleventh-street commission
men will be stockholders With this boat
every other day shipments of fruit, ber-
ries, melons, potatoes, cabbages and all
other kinds OF produce will be made d.
rect from the Sacramento River orchards
and ranches without going neal San Fran
cisco.
1t has been decided that it will not do to
trust to one boat every other day, and a
second boat will soon be bought so that
fire. b produce will be placed on Oakland
wharves every morning at the same hour
that it is now placed in San Francisco.
This will avoid all the handling of the
fruit and produce consumed in Oakland
by San Francisco whartingers. and also
the consequent reshipment and handling
in crossing the bay.
The steamer will land al the new Adams
wharves east of Alice-street bridge The
wharf-owners have not taken any stock in
the steamers. but will invest about S20O 600
in putting up buildings for offices. and
warehouses for the ommlssion men, many
OF whom will at once move to the water
front.
The removal of the commission houses
and the purchase of steamers by Oakland
merchants is of great significance, for it
means that all the produce of the cities
on this side the bay, which has hitherto
passed. through the hands of the San
Francisco middlemen, must be deducted
from the volume of business transacted
on San Francisco's water front
There are large canneries on this side
the bay and all the tons OF fruit which
they use daily and which is not grown in
this county has been shipped here via San
Francisco. This will now cease and it is
calculated that by the new method all the
fruit and produce will pass through the
hands of seven people less than under the
old system.

DEATH OF BART MORGAN.
For Nearly Half Century He Had
Been in Business In This


OAKLAND, CAL, April S-Bart Nor
gan, for many years Supervisor of this
county, who vacated his seat in 1894. died
this morning. He had been gradually
sinking for couple of years, and finally
paralysis of rhe BRAIN caused death.
For many years Mr.. Morgan was prom
inent factor in Alameda County politics,
His early life was passed in Lawrenceb burg,
Ind, where he was born sixty-eigh bit years
ago. His father was one of the early
settlers of that territory, having gone
there in 1916 His father, John Morgan.
was local preacher of the United Breth-
rem sixty-three years and Justice of
the Peace for many years. His son, Bart,
received his early education in little log
schoolhouse near his fathers farm. In
1852 he married Miss AngeIine Donnell of
later was a widower, his wife having died
of consum ption.
In 1853 Mr.. Morgan, anxious to leave
the scene which had been made unpleas-
ant to him on account of his young wife's
death started for California by way of
New York and Panama. After arriving
in San Francisco he decided at once to go
to Placerville and several years were spent
in mining in that region. In 1865 he
opened drugstore in Georgetown, in the
mining region, and three years later he
sold out and came TO Oakland. For some
years ne served as clerk in the assessors
department in the United States Internal
Revenue Bureau in San Francisco. After
few years he went to Georgetown for
another brief period, and in 1874 returned
to Oakland to live permanently.

The story of Jonah and the whale came
near disturbing delightful calm that has
characterized the thirtieth annual con-
vention of the State Sunday-school Asso-
citation. 1t all happened in an innocent
way, stirred the convention for a mo-
ment, and then single timely word
silenced the wranglers and the imper
turbable calm was restored.
Miss Helen Wright of the State Normal
School, San Jose, was responsible for the
interesting disturbance. In her very ex-
cellent paper, Teaching the Word" she
found occasion to say: Teach the
prophets and tell the young people how
the prophecies are being fulfilled as the
years go by. Teach that the hand of God
is in every part of the good book. 1t is a
small matter, it seems to me, whether this
one or that one wrote the whole of any
book, or whether the story of Jonah is a
parable or the literal truth"
Miss WrIght's address was warmly re-
ceived, but the allusion to the story of
Jonah brought on even warmer discussion
of doctrinal point.
Eventually discussion was silenced by a
brother who rose to point of order and

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
A Prisoner Kills Himself in His Cell
by Asphy xiation No Known
Cause for the Deed


by Asphyxiation No Known
Cause for the Deed
ALAMEDA, CAL, April s.-When the
cells in the City Prison were opened this
morning ii was found that prisoner who
had given his name as c. Johnson had
committed suicide during the night by
asphyxiation. Johnson, who said he was
a Swede, was arrested yesterday afternoon
on charge of robbing drunken man of
$40 at the High-street station of the mar
row-gauge. He was seen in the act by a
neighbor, who notified the police, and the
arrest followed. Johnson said he was a
tramp. and that he came from San Jose.
de was locked up il a steel 'tank' cell,
about 10 feet by in size, ventilated only
by the wicket in the door and small
opening in the roof. IL is lighted by a
gas jet, the stopcock OF which is outside
ana cannot be reached by prisoner. But
Johnson prepared deliberately for death.
He stuffed the wicket and the opening in
the roof with his blanket, then blew out
the gas, and, lying down in his bunk,
Calmly waited for death. On a scrap OF
paper he lett a scrawl, II ought 10 have
known better" So closely did he stop up
all ventilation TO the cell that the odor of
the escaping gas did not reach any one,
while as that part of the Jail is not visited
at night by the officers the tact that the
light was not burning was not noticed.
He had been dead for hours when his
body was discovered.
