MARRIED AN ATHLETE.
Fred W. Koch and Miss Amanda
Krenz Assume the Sacred
Vows.
Both Are Graduates of the State
University and Are Widely Known
Throughout the State.

BERKELEY, CAL, July Under a
bower of roses and hyacinths in cozy
little cottage in North Berkeley. Fred W.
athletes of the West, and Miss Amanda
Krenz, a popular graduate of the State
University, were married at $50 O. clock
this evening.
Miss Lucretia Watson of Berkeley acted
as bridesmaid and John D. Gish of Los
Angeles as groomsman. The bridal cere-
mony was performed by Rev. William
Bours.
The wedding was a very quiet affair,
only few of the most intimate friends of
the high contracting parties having been
present
An effort was made to keep it a COM
plete secret until after the couple had left
on their honeymoon, but somehow the
news got out and soon spread like wild
fire.
The newly welded pair left on a late
train for San Francisco, whence they
will go to Olema, Marin County, on their
honey moon.
The groom is a graduate of the State
University in the class OF '96, and while
at college was one of the most popular Of
his cIassmen, having gained special dis
tinc.ion in athletics. For time he was
considered the best all-round athlete on the
coast, having held the university records
in the shot-put, the half-mile and the
high jump. He was bic field day
in himself. Besides holding several i'm
victorious California track team on their
Eastern tour in 1897. For the last year
he has been teaching science In the Visa

The present crisis, according to Presi-
dent Spear of the crematory company,
means the life or death of the enterprise.
The company has petitioned the Council
to grant permission to the crematory to
dump its ashes into the marsh.
The resolution was about to be passed
when Councimen Girard and Cuvellier
saw all manner OF evil in it. Girard stated
that he had seen garbage and other stuff
dumped With the ashes. This Mr.. Spear
denied. In the resolution the words read
"ashes, tin cans and so FORTH" and Girard
declared this to be altogether too much.
while don't pretend that we are run
ming cologne factory" said Mr.. Spear,
II do mean to say that We have sunk
many thousands of dollars in that crema-
tory and that we ought to receive some
consideration from the city. All we want
to 90 is to keep our contract. We have in
view the moving of the crematory to the
Alameda marsh, so that we can also con-
tract with the city of Alameda to destroy
the garbage from there. 1t is scientific
proposition, and we are saving the city
great deal OF money. We only want to
put clean ashes in the marsh, and this,
think, we should be permitted to do"

The garbage question is still far from
being settled. The crematory people COM
plain that the Italians are still collecting
about one-half of the garbage and dump
ing it in various parts of the city in viola
tion of the ordinance. All kinds of
schemes were tried before the garbage
crematory was built and all proved ex-
pensve and futile.
The crematory people have an exclusive
contract with the city and expect that
all the garbage will be delivered TO them.

in some direction the problem will have

THE TROUBLE
OF THE GRADY
San Francisco Dealers to
Have No Rivals at
Present.
Oakland Commission Mems Boat
Frightens the Grew That
Went North.
They Revolt, and the Insurance Men
Will Not Again Take the
Risk.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FEANcIsoo CALL.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL
908 Broadway, July l.
= The San Francisco commission men
need not fear that the Oakland dealers
will cut seriously into their business this
summer. The steamer H. G. Grady, which
was procured in Portland q to come here and
ply on the Sacramento River and handle
the trade between river ports and Oakland
is still in the Colum bia.
When it was reported that the steamer
was on the way down the coast the
II. G. Grady was being made the basis of a
libel suit. The suit was brought by the
sailors who left here on May 27 for Port
land to make the daring trip down the
coast to Oakland on the old sternwhe eler,
which has pretty we'll worn herself out on
the Columbia River since being built,
nearly twenty years ago.
The troubles of the steamer are told in
the story which has reached here from
Portland. The advices state that the
tr ouble arose with Engineer Mamie. He
in spected the steamer and found that she
was pretty old. Her engines were not
complete and she could not with safety
N AXE trip down the coast. Thus the
engineer talk ed until at last his state
men ts came to the ears of the insurance
C ompanies who had taken risks on the
DO at The consequence was the with
drawal OF the policies. The II. G. Grady
was TIED up.
Negotiations for new insurance were
comm enced, and in the meantime the
crew became restless. Then came de-
mand on June % that they be paid off
and allowed to leave the steamer. Those
making the dem and were Pilot Nicholas
]. Richardson and Firemen r R,chard j.
Tennet and James Kelly; Engineer Man
ME had applied for a discharge before
hand.
Captain Denny informed the men that
if they quit the steamer they would be
paid off at ''port wages, which at Port
land are $35 per month. The men refused
10 accept the settlement and turning 10
worked out the month, which expired to-
day, they having left San Francisco on
MAY q on board the steamship Columbia
for Portland.
The men all declare that they were not
properly treated. In contradiction of this
evidence Captain Denny states that had
it no. been for the loud mouthings of En-
gineer Mamie (whom be claims to have
much befriended) the II. G. Grady would
have been on her voyage and now safely
plying the smooth waters of the Sacra-
mento River.
The case has not yet been decided but
there is little hope for the vessel getting
here this summer in time to be of any use
for the fruit season.
The project of an independent line OF
steamers between Oakland and Sacra-
mento River ports will not cut very
deeply into San Francisco trade for an
other wear,

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Large emperance Gathering at the
Park-Street Methodist Church
Last Evening.

ALAMEDA, CAL, July 1.-The Park
street Methodist Church was filled last
evening with mem bsrs of the Anti-Saloon
League and friends of the tenn perance
cause generally to listen to the speech OF
DR.. H. H. Russell, general superintendent
of the National League. The speaker was
introd uced by Rev. DR.. Bovard and gave a
sketch of the work done in Ohio, where
the movement originated. The mum Der of
saloons in that State has been decreased
2600 and all classes and denominations
had join ed in the good work. The Catho-
lies as well had taken part IN it, The
league did not require a man to be a total
abstainer in order TO become a member of
it, and many such were heartily in SYM
pathy with the movement. He urged his
hearers TO never stop fighting, but to
carry the saloon question into politics and
they would win. A resolution was unani-
mously passed calling on the City Trus-
tees to stand by their agreement and re-
fuse to issue any licenses in those pre-
cincts which had voted against the saloon
at the last election.
