STERN OBJECTION.

After the last prayer of high mass had
been concluded in st. Josephs Portuguese
church in Oakland Sunday morning, John
3. Chichizola of this city and Miss May
Garcia of Oakland stepped before the
altar and were made man and wife by
Rev. Father Gloria. In the story of this
union the old hackneyed saw that love
laughs at Iocl1smiths'' finds itself re-
peated. In short, it is a tale of two
hearts that found a way to defeat the
plans of a stern parent.
Chichizola is a son of A. Chichizola, the
prominent wholesale grocer at 316-31S Pa
cifc street and also a member of the
firm. About a year ago he met pretty
Miss Garcia, loved her and they were
later engaged. However the girl was
poor, and in this fact his father found OBJ
lection to the match. The lovers per-
found that nothing could reconcile his
father to the proposition. After hesitat-
ing for some time, the young man con.
cluded that matters touching his own
self. He is q years of age, while Miss
May is but Is.
On Sunday morning he journeyed to
Oakland without the knowledge of his
choice When the father heard of it soon
afterward he was furious, and 1t was
only after mothers intercession for sew
eral days that the groom was forgiven,
invited to return to the home of his
youth and the fatted calf killed.
Meanwhile the couple had been spend
ing their honeymoon in San Jose. When
they returned to this city a couple of
days ago they took apartments at a
downtown hotel, where they both re-
ceived forgiveness and blessing. John
was told to find a fat which suited his
fancy and to fit 1t I'D. In giving these

Mr.. MOODY'S ADDRESS
TO THE CHURCHGOER
A GENTLE EXPLOITATION TO A
DEEPER FAITH.
''There Is No Darkness to the De-
parting Christian in the Valley
of the Shadow of Death"

Evangelist Dwight L. Moody continued
his sermon TO religious people yesterday
afternoon in the First Congregational
Church. Every seat in the large edifice
was filled, the aisles being crowded to
the outer doors. The speaker, in his
characteristic way, admonished both pas
tor and people to be united in the service
Of the Master. Strangers would come in
through the open gates of the church
when they saw light and warmth within
the place. 1t was a tender exhortation
for a deeper religious faith and the
spreading of the divine truth around.
The evening service included the usual
songs and prayers by the different minis
Mr.. Moody drawn from the second chap
ter of Paul's epistle to Titus-the last
eleven verses. II was a discourse upon
the everlasting promise of the Christian
life. Referring to the twenty third
Psalm, fourth verse Mr.. Moody said sell

though l walk through the valley of the
shadow of death l will fear no evil; for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me-"
They persist said the speaker, ''in
putting the word dark before shadow.
There is nothing dark there, and the
shadow is there only because there is a
great light near by. There must be a

PAwNED HER GOLD WATCH.
How Henry Boggs Raised Money to
Pay for Dinner for Two.

Henry Boggs, a commercial traveller
was arrested yesterday morning by De
tectives Ryan and O'Dea on a warrant
charging him with felony embezzIement.
The complaining witness is Lizzie Hart
1882 Eddy street
Boggs until few months ago lived at
the same house with his wife, who finally
left him. The day before Boggs departed
Miss Hart had occasion to mention in his
hearing that she wanted her gold watch
valued at $3.50, repaired, and Boggs said
he would have it attended to by a friend
of his without cost Miss Hart gave him
the watch and since then she has not seen
him. A few days ago she learned that
the watch had been paWned by Boggs for
S5, and she swore to the complaint charg-
ing him with embezZlement.
Boggs says that he was on friendly
terms with Miss Hart and had asked her
out to dine with him. He had no funds
and he borrowed her watch, which he
pawned to get money to pay for the din
ner. He intended to take it out of pawn
as soon as he was able, but times had
been hard with him.
The detectives say that Mrs. Miller, the
landlady at 1892 Eddy street, will also
swear out a warrant for Boggs' arrest on
the charge Of defrauding an innkeeper
as he is owing her ABOUT $40 for board and
lodging. A dealer In notions named Hall
is also after him for embezzling $40 worth

Next Monday evening the City Councll
will meet for few minutes, but no Dusl-

the report of the last meeting. The mem
bers will then bid the council chamber
farewell. and seven of the eleven will re-
tire to private life
Now that the half dozen members con-
stituting the majority are about to retire
many expressions Of approval are heard
regarding a large portion of their work
as city officials. OF course 1t will be a

would be useless for any one to attempt
an explanation of that affair. for the
public mind formed its own opinion and

Councilman Heitman is known as one of

Superior Judge Greene this afternoon
established the remarkable precedent
that a telephone subpoena must be
treated with the same dignity and re-
spect as any other order of the court,
and J. r. Bigler of Alameda was hned
and severely criticized because he had
treated the summons as a trivial matter
1t was at the trial of the suit of Z. M
Hatcher OF San Jose against c. B. White,
ex-Sheriff, and his former bondsmen
Hatcher held a note for $500 against j.
r. Bigler. proprietor of the Stanford sta
bles, Alameda, and to enforce his claim
attached Bigler's property. The latter,
however, gave a bond with E. A. Rand
lett and r. R. Lomax as his sponsors.
and this bond, 1t was afterward found,
was no more substantial than the straw
strewn in the horses stall. The attach
ment, nevertheless, had been released on
the strength of its weakness. Hence
Hatcher had sued eX-Sherin Wnfte ana
his bondsmen.
During the trial this morning Mr.. Big
Ter had occupied the witness stand and
testified as to the value Of certain steedS,
eduipageS, etc. His answers did not come

Dingee Alleges the Contract Between

Been Cancelled.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

sos Broadway, March "A.
William J. Dingee to-day filed q de-
murrer against the complaint of Jane K.
Sather in the sensational suit wherein she
charges that he. as her agent. misappro-
priated funds belonging to her amounting
TO S113,0S0 0S.
According to Mrs Sather's complaint
Dingee became her agent in May, 1887,
and on June IA. 1897, a settlement and ac-
counting was effected. But she claims
that when she signed the instruments she
had no information to know whether the
accounts were correct Three months
later she discovered facts upon which she
based her suit, and last December she
made demand for another and final set
tlement, which defendant has refused.
Mr.. Dingees demurrer is to the effect
that Mrs. Sather's complaint does not
state facts sufficient to constitute cause
of action or entitle her 10 any relief in
equity, on the following grounds:
Her complaint shows that there was a
final settlement had between plaintiff and
defendant on June IA, 1897, of all transac-
tiOns and matters referred to, and at the
same time an account stated was agreed
upon; that within the three months next
thereafter plaintiff discovered that said
representations were false, and that de
fendant fraudulenty appropriated TO his
own use the property and funds OF
the plaintiff; that plaintiff did not
rescind said contract or attempt
to do so, nor set aside for fraud
said settlement and account, nor
seek TO surcharge' or falsify the same
for error, nor act upon such discovery
until December 2S, 1885, and therein plain
tiff slept upon her rights, if she had any,
was not vigilant and did not exercise or
discovery, and has been guilty Of unreal
sonable delay and is accordingly barred
from maintaining this action under the
provisions of subdivisions / and OF sec
tion 1851 of the Civil Code"
