Minnie Ward of Burlington died under
tragic circumstances Thursday night at the
Hotel Caprio in Boston She went to Bos-
ton some time ago from Montreal. She
was accompanied by man who lived with
her for time, but who disappeared Sun
day of last week, taking her money and
jewelry. She wandered about the streets,
weeping and declaring that if she could not
find her faithless lover she would commit
suicide. She was directed to the Hotel
Caprio, where she was provided with food
and drink. She was in highly nervous
and excitable condition, and on this ac-
count her room was changed two or three
times.
She finally went to sleep in a room on
the fifth floor, and waiter who had been
with her left the room for 10 minutes He
was startled by hearing crash in the rear
of the hotel. 1t was the woman's body

people who had known her in a boarding
house in Boston, where she was employed
short time.

MYSTERIOUS COLLECTOR.
No Clew as to Who Drew the 5000
Check in Favor of the Crane
Company.

OAKLAND, Sept. 3.-Thus far no clew
has been discovered to identify the bogus
agent who drew the $500 from the city
treasury due the Crane Company. 1t is
believed, however. that agent was one
who knew the ropes"
The mysterious disappearance of the
money was the leading topic of convert
sation at the City Hall to-day The mat
ter has been placed in the hands of the
police, and detectives are now working
on the case. In speaking about the mat
ter to-day City Treasurer Grpin said
I'VE do not pay out money to perfect
strangers, and 1 think that thorough
investigation will show that the man was
brought in by some one known to us.
/ am now having the matter looked into
thoroughly, but as yet 1 am not in a
position to say that l even suspect any
particular person of getting away with
the money. 1 am satisfied from the rep
reservations of the Crane Company that
the firm has not received the money. The
officials of the company have acted very
fairly in the matter. They admit that
they were careless in not calling for the
money sooner. If they had done SO il
would have been much easier to locate
the guilty party, but think that he will
be found in time"

Coursing lovers-and there are now a
large number of them in this State-who
missed seeing yesterdays coursing at
the Union Park will regret 1t.
The day was beautiful and the hares
ran like wildfire. OF all courses ever wit
messed, the race between Right Bower and
Flyaway was the longest, the hardest and
the most exciting.
The Bower was in splendid condition to
run a hard and grueling race. But the
hare had something to say in the matter.
When Slipper Wren let loose the dogs of
speed the Bower shot Immediately to the
front and was soon within close proximity
of his game. The flyer of the plains, on
seeing danger near, dropped its ears on
it's shoulders and then the fun COM
menced.
Bower was running well, but the hare
was running still better, and for fully
five minutes it actually played with, the
dogs lodging this way and that and &C.
casionally shooting several yards in the
lead of its pursuers and then turning
back on it's trail suddenly as If purposely
to meet the animals that were endeavor-

A Pioneer Missionary,

The recent death of Mrs. Lucinda B.
Baldwin in Cleveland Ohio, has removed
a prominent and notable figure from the
missionary section of the religious
world. Mrs Baldwin, who had reached
the advanced age of 81 was one of Amer
ica's earliest women writers, contributing
both prose and verse to various periodi-
Gals during at least fifty years of her
busy and helpful life. While still very
young woman she became specially in
terested in religious work, and In later
years was called the Mother Of the
Korean Mission" since her generous
hand provided the funds for the build
ing and maintenance of the Baldwin
Chapel and Baldwin Dispensary in Seoul
which were both named in her honor.
Mrs Baldwin was also instrumental in
sending the first woman missionary, Mrs.
Scranton, to Korea, and to her infiunece
thus extended is due much of the pres
ent civilization and Characterization of
that especial portion of Asia. She also
practically adopted two native born Ko-
rean girls, giving them her own name
and defraying all their expenses of
maintenance and education while they
were being fitted to work as mission
aries among their own people, and for
more than half century she has been
in every way one of the most devoted
and generous supporters of missionary
work in the United States Mrs. Bald

P. T. Dickinson, the well-known writer,

OAKLAND, Sept. 3.-Evidence was in

Elley, on the grounds of desertion and
cruelty.

into a penitential mood for misconduct
Elley, however. concluded that two could
play at this game, and accordingly packed
up his personal property and left the oI>ce

for a divorce.
Judge Ogden refused to grant decree
of divorce, but allowed plaintiff TO file
a supplemental complaint. His honor in

SOME BIG CUTS.
Money for Improvements VIII In

" centage Over That of
Last Year.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


9OS Broadway, Sept. 8.
: There seems to be a dissemination on the
part of certain members of the City Coun-
Gil to start in on the tax levy. There was
ITO have been a meeting of the commit
tee of the whole last week to take up
the matter but enough members stayed
away to break a quorum and no meeting
has yet been held.
: 1t is well known that the levy this
year cannot be less than 10 cents higher
than it was last year This difference
is partly caused by the amount to be
raised for making the improvements on
Lake Merritt and surrounding sewers.
In his estimate Auditor Snow appropri-
ates $40, 1884 for park and boulevard
fund, which makes of itself a tax Of
10 cents. AS it is said to be necessary
to raise 900 for these improvements,
it is evident that Mr.. Snow intends that
this money shall come out of two fiscal
years, although he has estimated a gen.
eral fund of si7 919. the greater part of
which can If 4ecessary be used on the
Lake Merritt proposition.
The Auditor has completed his prun-
Ing of the department. estimates and
5000 is cut off the Board of Works while
$1,000 is added to the City Council fund.
He has cut $1,000 off the city engineers as
.sistant's account, while he has cOmpli-
mented City Electrician Carleton by
leaving his account untouched. About
$1,000 has been sliced from the Fire De-
partment, while the Auditor also cuts
out about $4,000, asked for by Chief Ball
for new engine houses and plant, mostly
for the annexed district. Some $4,000 is
cut from the Free Library fund. and the
same amount from the Health Depart
ment, while Chief Fletcher evidently
shares the same opinion as Mr.. Snow
regarding the needs of the Police De
partment, for there is only $50 diff
ference between their estimates, which
are over $4,000.
Mr. Snow cuts S21 900 off the estimates
of the School Department, leaving them
S256, 1856 Street Superintendent Miller
wanted S137, 769, while Mr.. Snow says he
can get along with $92,275. Altogether
Mr.. Snow reduces the department esti-
mates $40 032, leaving the amount re-
CURED for the next fiscal year at
$685.. 527.
The passage of an ordinance cutting
the liquor license in half would have a
marked effect on the municipal income,
for the estimated revenue from this
source is $50, 900. The $41, 900 which would
be received If the license were reduced
is equal to about cents on the entire
levy. Now that the Auditor has finished
his task, the City Council will take the
estimates up in committee of the whole.
after which they will report to the Coun-
ell an ordinance fixing the tax levy,
which will go to the Mayor, who also
has the privilege of approving or vetoing

A JOKE ON
THE MAYOR
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San FRANCISCO Cail,
90S Broadway, Sept. 3.
Mayor Thomas is wondering who has
played a joke on him or on a morning
newspaper. Yesterday morning he read
in paper that Lady Yarde Butler had
written to him a letter referring to her
claims in the old Kirkham property ad-
Joining Lake Merritt. The article stated
that the letter written in an aristocrauc
angular hand and containing some legal
references" had been sent to the Mayor
and that he had stated that Lady Yarde
Butler will be given every opportunity
to prove her claim, but he doubts that she
has any claim worth considering.
This is a funny kind Of a joke" said
Mayor Thomas. IT understand that Lady
Yarde Butler is not altogether responsible
for what she does, and yet, read IN the
Examiner that 1 have received a letter
from her in which she asks me cour-
tesy regarding some tide lands and that
have expressed an opinion on the same;
no letter although l noticed that the GATE
is August 80, and l ana sure that L nave
not been so foolish as to express an opln-
ion about something of which l know
nothing and of the existence of which l
was not even aware.
THE letter in the 'aristocratic angular
hand must be a fiction, or else there is
something radically wrong with the Oak
land postal department, and L do not
think there is; as we now have a brand
new Republican Postmaster. l made
some inquiry as to how the letterand my
alleged interview had been obtained, and
was told that they had just 'drifted in
but 1 got no more satisfaction" q
Mayor Thomas is not at all pleased that
his name has been used in connection
with a letter, which. if ever written, can
only be accounted for by the fact that
Lady Yarde Butler is still suffering from
the mental arrangement which caused
her arrest in Oakland some months. ago
and her subsequent Incarceration in a
Partisan madhOuSe.

90S Broadway, Sept. 8.
Before another week passes it is ex-
pected that the narrow gauge system,
which has been SO unpopular for many
years, will be a thing of the past. The
beautiful steel bridge has been swung
across the estuary and the machinery is
in perfect order. The new tracks have
been laid from Harrison street to Webster,
and to-day several gangs of men are lay
ing a broad gauge track on Franklin
street in place of the narrow gauge. Next
week all this will be completed and the
new system will be in operation. At
present it is thought the work will be
sufficiently advanced to run the first
broad gauge train on Webster street next
Monday.
Last Thursday evening the last pieces
of the bridge were completed, and when
the big draw, which is one of the finest
in the State, started TO reyolve 1t was
found that the intricate mechanism was
perfect, and the electric machinery a
