CURRENT COMMENT.
Most Imnortnnt Question.
From the Augusta Chronicle Dem).

The penitentiery question continues to
fill space in the newspapers and will
doubtless be the most important question
before the next legislature.
The San Francisco call., 1897-12-20

though the work is being done sub rosa,
so to speak, it has been none the less
effective. The leading figures of course
are w. r. Davis, DR.. Pardee, Congress
man Hilborn and Victor Metcalf, but
each man and his friends appear to be
working on individual lines, and there
is as yet not the least evidence of any
combinations between the guberna-
torial and Congressional candidates
After the organization of the Davis
forces and the issuance of their circu-
lar there seemed to be a lull in the
fight, but it has now been discovered
that the apparent calm was very de-
ceptive. During the past few weeks
DR.. Pardee's workers have literally
honeycombed the county and made
their way into every corner of it so
that they now have an organization
that is practically complete. When
Frank Jordan made his fight for Coun-
ty Clerk three years ago 1t was ac-
knOwledged on all hands that a more
effective and thorough campaign had
never been made.
DR.. Pardee's friends, including his
active committee. declared that they
now have 10000 pledged votes for their
man.
The following have been named as
the Pardee executive committee, and
many of them attended the caucus: H.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
90S Broadway, Dec. 10.
Ferdinand Uhl, the insane murderer
of Patrick Murphy, was quite rational
this morning. He was asked if he was
responsible for the burning of Father
Serda's church at Temescal on Thanks
giving eve.
81 kill Catholics, but I wouldn't burn
a church, even a Catholic church." he
replied. When the church was burn
ing I went down to the street corner
and watched it, but l did not set it on
fire. 1 am not destructive. 1 only kill
people and would prefer to murder
Catholics than Protestants.'
Although there are many people who
believe that Uhl fired Sacredt Hear
Church, the police believe that he is tell
ing the truth, and base their belief on
the fact OF his confession of murder.
They hold that if he would confess
murder. and tell of his desire to kill
other people, he would also confess set
ting fire to the church.
Uhl was raised in the Catholic faith,
but a few years ago he charged his
religion. His denunciation of Catho-
lies had been most bitter, and when he
was examined for insanity over a year
ago this prejudice of his was very
marked by his answers to questions.
On Monday Uhl will be examined by
the physicians and will certainly be
committed to an asylum. District At
torney Shook said to-day that such
would be the course taken with the
prisoner, as it would be useless to try
him for crime.
On Monday also will be held the in
quest of Patrick Murphy. 1t is not yet
settled whether Uhl will be a witnesses

call and increased salary. According
to tradition a call with an increased
salary is generally interpreted as one
Of divine origin and therefore to be
obeyed, but in this instance Rev. Mr..
Palmer has decided that the Spring
field invitation, even with the allure
ment of an addition to his present
salary, is not in the best interests of
his present flock.
About a month ago when the call
was received, the pastor was greatly
surprised as he had not any idea that
he was wanted in the East. The
church that called him is close to the
homes of his own and his wife's
family, and for awhile he was almost
persuaded to leave Oakland. Since
that time he has reconsidered the
matter, and is convinced that it would
be unworthy on his part to leave his
present work in East Oakland. His
make a change and had SO impressed
this fact upon him as to convince him
that it is his duty to remain.
Il have forwarded my decision to
the trustees at Springfield said Rev.
S. S. Palmer to-day, "and 1 shall not
leave Oakland. 1 have entered on
work here which I consider demands
that L carry it on, and it would be in
judicious and wrong for me TO sever
my connection with the Brooklyn
church at this time The Springfield
people are very anxious to have us
back, and there are indeed many in
ducements to take US there, but have
weighed this matter very conscien-
tiously and the result of my delibera-
ton is contained in my reply to the
church"
Rev. Mr.. Palmer has been at Brook
lyn church about five years, and his
congregation are very anxious that he
should remain and have taken many
during the past month.

GORHAM BLAKE BURIED.
He Wos Ope Of tbe SocroDento
Vigilance Comnittee OF
Years Ado.

OAKLAND, Dec. 19.-Gorham Blake,
a pioneer of this State, was buried this
afternoon by Live Oak Lodge of
Masons. Mr.. Blake was born in Bos-
ton siXty-eight years ago and before
he was 20 years old he shipped as sup
ercargo on an East India merchant ship
and besides performing his own duties
acquired a sufficient knowledge of
navigation to enable him to take
charge of and bring the ship safely
into port at the end of the twenty
months voyage, the captain having
become insane. After spending about
two years as superintendent of an
iron mine in Vermont he started for
California by way of Panama and ar
rived here in 1853.
He was engaged by Wells Fargo &
Co. to purchase gold dust, and while
in that employment had many narrow
escapes from robbers, afterward be-
coming principal owner and superin-
tendent of the Shaws Flat ditch. He
then went to El Dorado County and
became the principal owner of the
Dardanelles mine, and from there
moved to Sacramento and opened an
assay office and remained there sew
eral years. While in Sacramento he
was one of the organizers and active
workers in the Yigilant Committee.
his badge being No. 8.
For several years Mr.. Blake has
been a resident of this city and promi-
nent in fraternal circles.

OAKLAND, Dec. ia very excit-

the campus at st. Mary's College this
afternoon between the Cathedral Stars
Of San Francisco and the st. Mary's

The game was unusually interesting
from start to finish, being made so by
the many brilliant plays of each nine.
| However, the college nine proved vic
torious, winning by q score of II to f..
Raymond, the college pitcher, proved
very deceptive in his curves against
the Stars, the being unable to con-
meet with him at all after the first few
| innings.
The Young Famous team met the
National Stars of San Francisco this
afternoon and defeated them by a
score of to at Sixteenth and Camp
bell streets. The Famous batteries
were Simonnetti and Letter.
