companies, shows that they had s., 1896, AIS, 561

LAID AWAY IN THE
 OAKLAND CEMETERY
LAST RITES OVER THE BODY OF
 JUDGE BORDEN.
The Superior Courts Closed in Re- spect to the Memory of the
 Deceased Jurist.

The remains of the late Judge Rhodes Borden were borne from the family resi- dence. at 424 Scott street, yesterday after noon and taken to their final resting place in Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland.
 The house was crowded with friends of the deceased when Rev. F. J. Lion of St Stephen's Church stepped to the head of the casket and read the impressively beautiful Episcopal service for the burial of the dead. After this was concluded the body was taken to the ferry and trans ferred to Oakland on the o'clock boat. Only the relatives and near friends att tended the interment.
 The floral tributes were many and beau tiful. Thrown over and almost conceal ing the casket was an exquisite floral pail composed of violets, white roses, smilax and fern leaves-the silent testimonial of the employees of the City and County At torney's office.
 The honorary pal1bearers were Harry T. Creswell, J. B.. Garber, Judge J. NJ Seawell, Patrick Noble, J. K. Moffitt, William Grant, Crittenden Thornton and Frank c. Drew.
 Yesterday morning John M. Burnett, on behalf of the Bar Association, visited the various departments of the Superior Court and to each Judge voiced the re- gretS of that organization over the death of the late Judge Borden. MT. Burnett's remarks were eulogistic of the deceased, and at their conclusion the courts were ordered adjourned out of respect to the memory of the dead.

AN EXPERT WILL GO OVER THE

It is feared that the members of the Board of Education do not dwell together in that spirit of brotherly love recom- mended by the canons of fraternity. The temperature bobs up and little flames break out here and there in the ranks when the discussion is well under way and acrimonious references to past errors sometimes come tripping from the tongue.
 There were several small heated spells last evening during a special meeting of the board to straighten out the Mission High School affairs. Contractor James F. Logan has received his money, $123,90S less $30, SIT. the tail end of the different pay ments yet unpaid. Some changes and al- terations were made during the erection of the building. Architect Ravens holds that the changes cut down the bill, and Contractor Logan adheres to the idea that one change offsets the other in beautiful equipoise He has been paid from time to time 75 per cent of the value of tue work completed, and at the final comple- ton of the work when he was paid the last installment he claims that such ray ment was equivalent to the acceptance of the building. The board says no, and the $S0, ,977 due has not been turned over to Logan.
 Architect Ravens, who issued the certi- ficate of completion, sides with the con- tractor. He was asked why he issued the certificate and he pulled the specifications on the board and stopped further inquiry.
 Bantel and Head crossed words with some warm reference to past eXtrava gances in school furniture and were checked by the chairman.
 MT. Burns moved that an expert be en- ployed at $20 to examine the Mission High School building and report on the altera- tions made and also on the condition of the structure. Architect Ravens objected to an expert going over his work, but not withstanding his tears s. H. Kent was appointed. Ravens in his report stated that the heating apparatus was being put in very unsatisfactorily and that 1t was impossible to have Peck, Williams & Co. comply with their contract.
 After a short discussion as to where the expert would get his S20 with an empty school treasury the board adjourned with the question unsolved.

DUE TO THORPE'S GREAT RIDE
MAY W PLAYED WITH HER
 FIELD.
Topmast Wonderful Stretch Run ner-Toribio Beaten by Novia- A Day of Surprises
 All Around.

The desperate three-head finish between Obsidian, Limewater and Los Medanos in the six and a half furlong run for two- year-olds was easily the feature of the racing at Oakland yesterday. The victory of Obsidian can be ascribed to Charley Thorpe, whose superb exhibition of saddle work gained for him an ovation from the grand stand. The betting was all in favor of Piggotts mount, Limewater, which ruled 6 to favorite. At one time to 2 was chaked against Los Medanos, but 1t was early rubbed to to ,. Plenty of 2la to 1 was obtainable about the ultimate winner. The first part of the running was simply two-horse affair between Los Medanos and Limewater, both colts nov ing along well under restraint. Less than a furlong from the wire Thorpe made his move with Obsidian, and soon had both Piggott and Spencer hard at work. In an eye-opening and hair-raising drive Obsid- ian got the verdict by head, with Lime water second, the same distance in front of the Baldwin. entry. It was one of the from a spectacular as well as time standpoint, the winner covering the dis tance in 1:20i5.
 Surprises were numerous during the afternoon, May w and Topmast proving the only successful choices. Both in their way are wonders.
 In her present form May W looks un- beatable tat The Calgary "phenom" picked
  longs in 1:2612 with such consummate ease as to convey the impression that she can fracture the coast record almost any time. She closed 1 to favorite in the betting and won hands down from RoSinante and San Venado.
 The particularly strong forte of Top mast is stretch running, and his equal has rarely been seen in these parts. The Eastern horse, with Spencer on his back, was even money favorite for the mile and a sixteenth selling event. At the head of the stretch he was last, apparent ly hopelessly out of it. There Spencer shook him up, and, gradually wading through his field, the Topgallant horse beat the long shot Dr. Bernays a head. Myth, a 40 to l chance, was close up third.
 Billy Randall's Montana-bred gelling, Silver Beaux, took the opening scramble for two-year-olds like breaking sticks. Going to the post second choice, he was away first, and the field was never able to get to him. Peter Weber got the place handily from the favorite, Miss Reel.
 Toribio was plunged on to win the sell ing event at six furlongS, being backed down to to B. He was outfooted all the way by Novia, against which 8 to was laid. Ruskin ran an improved race, finishing third.
 The good money was all bet on Pat Morrissey to win the final selling sprint over the Futurity course. Frank McMa hons handy sprinter was slow to get away from the post, and, despite Freeman's hard riding finished third behind Sport McAllister and Good Hope. The winner,

The cargo of the American ship Shenan- doah caught fire again yesterday The half dismantled Melrose was alongside taking in coal as quickly as 1t could be hoisted out of the ship, and two donkey engines were dumping 1t into hoppers on the wharf when the second alarm was given. The tug Governor Irwin was again called into service, and as soon as the Melrose was got out of the way she poured two streams of water into the Shenandoah's hold. The fire was in the same place as the one that was put out on Sunday morning, and for a time 1t ragged furiously, driving the longshoremen on deck. During the entire afternoon the Irwin poured water into the hold of the big ship and then lav alongside of her all night for fear the fire might break out again. The danger is considered over.

HARBoR VIEWS GHOST.
A Female, Appariticn That Weekly HauntsN the Corner of Baker
 and Jefferson Streets.

Harbor View is in the fashion-it has a ghost Not one of those make-belieVe kind, in the form of a watermelon with holes cut for eyes, nose and mouth. for the purpose of soaring pedestrians, but the real thing that is uncatchable and makes its appearance weekly. The posi- tiveness-eof this fact is attested by a dozen residents of that section of the city whose veracity and sobriety have never been questioned. The last appearance of lthe wrath, which, by the way, is in fe- male form, was seen last Friday night lnd besides creating a sensation in that Buet portion of the city. almost scared Dave Bonner into mysteries and other things.
 As the clock was striking on that evening the apparition was espled py Coney Island Chowder House, which is opposite the Harbor View Gardens. Dave vas on his way home with a can of beer. served the fair one standing on the oppo- site corner garbed in white. He was startled to see a female form at that time of night and in that neighborhood and he stepped back into the refreshment place and called Otto Schwartz and his father, Charles Schwartz, to the door. They ob- served the woman and then watched the gallant Dave wend his way toward her to learn who she was. The apparition evil dentiy became frightened, as it moved along the tall fence with Bonner and his yards down the fence the ghost disap- peared as if by magic, and Dave, al- though frightened. had the presence of mind not to drop the can of foaming steam as he rushed back to the saloon After being relieved of his ague, he told what had happened No one accused him of romancing, as he was corroborated by the Schwartzs, father and son. Dave changed his route when he next essayed his homeward journey.
 The residents in the vicinity are on the lookout for the ghost, but so far it has not made its reappearance. It is thought however, that on Friday night next the apparition will again appear
