The new pastor, the first one the new
church has had, was called here to under
take the work. He is accompanied by his
wife and little son.
Rev. Mr.. David is q native of Nova SEQ
tia, where he lived for the first twenty FIVE
years of his life. He is now forty-four
years of age. First be was Wesleyan
Methodist preacher in Nova Scotia. After
leaving his native country he entered the
Convention Theological School of the new
church located at Boston. Subsequent to
being graduated he took up the work OF
the Swedenborgian Church in Maine and
preached in that State for two years. He
then preached for three years in Toronto,
Ont, for four years In Minneapolis, and
iatterly for three years in Portland.
Three years ago, just before his call to
Portland, he preached for a few months
in the First Swedenborgian Church, on
O'Farrell street. in this City.
In addition to his new church duties
here he proposes to travel over the State
as so-called missionary preacher and
will do such work particularly in the
towns about San Francisco bay. He hopes
also to devote some of his time to occa-
sional work in Oregon, where he was very
successful in spreading the principles OF
the new church and IN organizing numer-
Gus reading societies for the furtherance OF
the teachings of Swedenborg.
The first sermon of the new Third Swe-
den borgian Church will be delivered next
Sunday evening at 857 Post street. Serv-
ices will begin at 7:45 O'Clock and will be

Meade block was built by George w.
Meade.
Money was made quite rapidly. Mr..
Meade had handsome residence in this
City and also built up an expensive place
at Sausalito, which still reminds the
passer of his enterprise. He thrived until
he loaded up too heavily with California
projects. Then be was forced to the wal.
He had worked hard and his health was
undermined.
He had literally worked himself out, for
during this period he was concerned also
in Fresno raisin growing and was travel
ing indeiatigably, trying TO extend the
market. He went TO Europe and tried to
recover his health, passing two years
abroad.
When he returned to California his
health was not restored but his energy re-
manned the same. He went to Redlands
and engaged in real estate speculations
and other enterprises and babe fair to re-
trieve his broken fortunes and to win
another. Once more. however he was
loaded up TOO heavily, and dull times and
interest moneys were too much for him.
He died at Los Angeles Saturday last. He
leaves a widow and three surviving chill
dren. Two children died some years ago
and are buried in this city. Mr.. Meade 8
age was about 45.

Judge Cook said it was true that some
courts had held that it was fatal defect
for q complaint to fail TO show that the
woman was not the wife of the prisoner
where charge of criminal assault was
made, yet it was also true that the Supe-
rior Court of San Francisco has almost
universally ruled that where any proof at
all IS presented at the preliminary exam
ination to sustain the charge the defend
ant IS not entitled to be discharged.
Deputy District Attorney Hosmer read
from the testimony of the young woman

BEANSTON WILL
MAKE A CONTEST
Two Secretaries in the
Board Of Education
Rooms.
Charles WEIGH, the New Ap.
pointee, Must Take Legal
Steps.
The Man Who Has Been Declared an
"Out' Says That He Is Still
an "In."

Two men, both of whom claim posses
sion of the office of secretary OF the Board
OF Education, are holding forth in the
rooms of the board in the City Hall, and
it is certain that neither will give in until
the courts decide which is entitled to the
position and emoluments.
Charles Welch, who was appointed on
Monday to succeed George Beanston, the
incum bent for many years past, is in
possession of the outer Office, where the
assistant secretaries do their work, and
Mr.. Beanston is for the present supreme
in the inner sanctum, where his record 8
and papers of the board are kept.
When Mr.. WEIGH came in to demand
his Office on Monday last there was still
some work to clean up from the meeting
at which his appointment was made. Mr..
Beanston asked that he be allowed to
keep his desk until everything was in
proper shape, and his request was acceded
to by Mr.. WEIGH.
Yesterday Beanston had a consulta-
ton with his attorney and was advised
that Superintendent of Schools Babcock,
who ordered his retirement, had no legal
a uthority TO take such a step, and he was
a dVlSed TO retain MS records ana Otner
do cum ents until forced to leave by force
or legal measures.
InFthe meantime Mr.. WEIGH had quail
fed, and when he heard of Mr.. Beanston' s
move, held consultation with number
of memb ers of the new board, with Su-
perintendent Babcock and finally with
Attorney Vogelsang, who is the new
boards legal adviser.
Both the board and Mr.. Babcock ac-
knowledged Mr.. WEIGH as the secretary,
and the attorney advised him that his APP
pointment was perfectly legal. He made
another demand for his Office, but was
met with a refusal, Mr.. Beanston an
nounclng that he would keep possession
until ousted.
The employees of the Office were some
what in quandary as to what to do in
the matter, the new appointees siding
with Mr.. WEIGH. the others staying by
Mr.. Beanston, who went on with his work
as if nothing had happened.
Mr.. WEIGH is evidently under the i'm
preston that the man he desires to sue
coed will walk out to-day, when a formal
procee ding in ejectment Is taken.
| In this he will be disappointed as the
veteran secretary says that he will stay at
his post until removed by force or the
process of the court.

Superintendent Babcock says that he
had not the slightest intention of appoint
ing a successor to School Director Hal
stead in case the latter was unable through
sickness tc qualify. He considers Mr..
Halstead a personal friend and would
have appointed him to the vacancy had
he failed to qualify on time.
In case of fatal termination of Mr..
Halstead's illness the duty of appointing
his successor will devolve on the Superin-
tendent,
