VVbAtY NOTHING LEFT OF THE LARGE DINGEE PLACE Fernwood Is Wiped Out by Fire. Francisco Call, I 18. Wh, Mr. and Mrs. W.

J. Diagee arrive the East on Baturday they will find princely home, Fernwood, a mass of ashes, out of which are now standing ihlmney stacks. Probably a couple of hundred thousand dollars has been ex. on this palatial home and Us contents, for he has been for mi a collector of rare pictures and oi A Bhort time ago two valuable paintings were rejnovt-4. to the vault in Mr.

gee's office, and tLese are all that remain of the collection of years. This morning: about 1 o'clock some of Mr. Dingee' employes, who sleep on tha premises, returned home from a dance and retired, noticing nothing unusual. Shortly afterward Robert Armstrong, who represents Mr. Dlngeo during his absence, discovered that the house was In liames, but no one is able to tell how long it had been burning before the discovery was made.

Armstrong says he does nut believe seven minutes elapsed after he discovered the ilames before the ruin of th place was complete. The building was a three-story structure and contamed nineteen rooms. As an example ot the luxury with which the place was furnls it may be mentioned that a new ceiling for the library ot polished mahogany was recently put into tno place which cost $2500 in New lurk exclusive or tho labor necessary to have it put in place, Every room was richly finished and elaborately furnished. me of the sleeping rooms had cost over $o(M), and all through the house were expensive Orltntal furnishings and costly articles from almost every country under the sun. As soon as the lire was discovered the half dozen men who are employed on the place pressed into service all the garden hose that could be found, but the blaze was so tierce and had such a good start that the effect of the water hardly extended the time necessary to reduce the mansion to ruins.

The few little streams that were played on the flames were turned into steam before they reached the lire. Fernwood was originally the property of Colonel Jack Hays, and it came into the possession of Mr. Dingee about eleven years ago. Since that time Mr. Dingee has expended a princely fortune upon it, and surrounding It are several magnificent conservatories, miniature lakes and beautiful fountains.

The home was fitted with a complete electric plant, which furnished hundreds of lights to the house, grounds and outhouses. There was not in California a more magnificent home than Fernwood, although there are many larger. No one is able to give a reason for the fire. Mr. Armstrong', before retiring, about 10 o'clock last night, saw that all the doors and windows were locked anil thnt there was no light in the house except the single gas jet in his room.

No suspicious persons had been seen prowling around the grounds, and the only theory hitherto advanced is that some of the electric light wires must have started a blaze. There were no hydrants near the house, and Armstrong' says that Mr. Dingle had ordered some, but they had not yet been put In place. When Armstrong heard the crackling nf the fire he awoke and thought some one was breaking into the house. When he opened the door of his room he was greeted by smoke and flame, and nlthouch a hand fire extlnpulsher was but live feet away he could not reach It without endangering: his life, and even then it could have rendered no service.

The was destroyed before It could be used to send to Oakland for help, and although the glare could be seen In the sky. not until Coachman Dennis rode Into town was ft known which of the few large residences In the hills had been destroyed. The insurance on Mr. Dlngee's nmountei to and is placed with the Royal Exchange, the Royal, the Imperial and the Sun.

Joseph McAulifTe, the murdered man's brother, testified to being In Flynn's saloon, Twenty-fourth and Alabama streets, with Mitchell and his brother and others, and Mitchell asked him to pay a bill for groceries. They had dispute about the amount of the bill, and Mitchell went to get his books, but returned a revolver. He pointed the revolver at witness twice and then fired Frank. On cross-examination he denied that any one lick Mitchell. Abe Goldenson.

Mitchell went away, and as he was returning he saw run toward him and try to snatch something out of hand. Mitchell made for Joe, and witness went back Into the saloon. As he was coming out again he heard a Policeman Tryon testified to having Mitchell go back to his store, and shortly afterward he heard a shot. He took a revolver from Mitchell and placed him under arrest. Mitchell's face and collar were covered with blood and his chin and lip were cut and bleeding.

John Sullivan, a Grand Army veteran, who came here Tuesday from Vallejo in search of employment, narrowly escaped asphyxiation yesterday in his room at the New Washington Hotel on Fourth street. He was discovered just in the nick of time by the hotel clerk and hurried to the Hecelvin? Hospital, where Dray and Starr restored him to consciousness. Sullivan had been drinking a little during the day and late in the afternoon he went up to his room to take a nap. About 6 o'clock last evening the hotel clerk was attracted to Sullivan's room by the odor of escaping pas. On breaking open the door he found Sullivan lying on the bed partially dressed.

One of the gas cocks was turned on full. Whether or not Sullivan attempted to commit suicide is not known, but the probabilities are that he turned on the gas accidentally or blew It out instead of turnins? It off. Sullivan appears to be about 70 years of and the physicians Bay the chances for his recovery are very favorable. SULLIVAN, THE BURGLAR, HAS COME TO TRIAL Additional Counsel for the Accused. ALAMEDA, Oct.

The preliminary examination of Charles C. Sullivan on a charge of attempted burglary, with a prior conviction, was begun this morning before Justice of the Peace Morris. To accommodate the large number of people desirous of witnessing the case the courtroom of City Recorder St. Sure will be used. The examination of witnesses proceeded very slowly, but four being examined during the day.

Samuel Sullivan, a brother of the prisoner and his wife, Eva Sullivan, were present and showed considerable Interest in the proceedings. When the court adjourned for the noon hour both of them greeted the prisoner, and Mrs. Sullivan kissed him. Mrs. John Martin was present, as is her usual custom at preliminary examination of a 'sensational character in Alameda.

She was accompanied by a lady companion. A young lady residing on Pacific avenue, who had never had the experience of witnessing a trial, watched the proceedings from the open door of the Juiipt's chamber. A large delegation of the colored population was present and seemed to be greatly interested in the case. Captain Jainieson and Captain Maloney, both former oflicials at San Quentln, were among the spectators. The first witness called was A.

O. Gott, proprietor of the store where the attempted burglary took place. Mr. Gott told of leaving his store at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, October 8, and of seeing that the doors were locked and bolted, and of his return to the store Monday morning after reading of the attempted burglary, He identified a number of tools found on the two burglars as his property. These were the tools supposed to have been burglar's tools at the time of the capture of Sullivan.

Harry Tenney was recalled and Attorney Crowley proceeded with the crossexamination. Tenney testitled that he waited half an hour after he first heard a noise in the rear of the building before he left to give the alarm. He told of his return along Park street from the police station; of his telling Officer Rogers, who went with him and stationed himself in front of the jewelry store, and of his assisting Hadley over the fence by the church into the alleyway. He himself climbed up on the fence and saw Hadley enter the gate Into the yard back of Gott's store. Hadley went to the rear door if the store and opened it.

Hadley was standing about live inches from the back of the building when witness saw a flash and heard a report of a revolver, but could not tell whether it was fired in front of Hadley or behind him. He could not say how close the flash was to Hadley, but it was in the open doorway. Hadley red a shot and retreated toward the fence. When asked if Hadley was acting like a man with some one after him when he cam out, or was taking his time, witness answered that the officer was hurry- Ing. Hadley proceeded to the gateway on Centrnl avenue.

Tenney stated that he heard five or six shots. Three or four shots were fired, then, after a slight pause, three or four more shots were fired. Tenney's testimony about Hadley hurry- Ing the fence seemed to amuse Mrs. Sullivan, ns it caused her to laugh. Officer Hadley was next put on the stand.

He repeated the story of Mr. Tennev giving the alarm, etc. He told of entering the yard In back of the store and of opening the back door of the store. He could discern the outlines of two dark objects, but could not distinguish who they were. He heard the click of two revolvers and immediately fired in the direction from which the sound of clicks came.

The burglars immediately commenced firing at him. firing four shots, his gun refusing to work, and after trying to cock It he retreated and tried to force open the gate, spraining his shoulder in the attempt. He climbed over the fence and while doing so took a look back and saw one of the burglars, who he had reason to believe was Sullivan, following him. When he got over the fence he turned around and saw one of the whom he Identified as Sulivan. looking over the fence at him.

He was but Fix feet away from the base of the fence, and by the light from an electric arc lamp WATER FLOWED OUT OF THE SOLID ROCK Unexpected Spring Found by Tunnelers in the Mountains Back of Montecito.

Crawford Letham of 549 Park avenue, East Oakland. The doggies were born in the trenches around Manila, and until they arrived in the city of churches they had been accustomed to little but the noise of shot and shell. Since landing here they have been so impressed with the quietness that surrounds the many church spires that they have tried hard and with much success to make enough noise to persuade themselves they are still amid the exciting scenes of their early days. The animals have distinct military records, the father being Punch, the brindle bull terrier mascot of the First Washington Kegiment, which recently returned from Manila. The mother is Fanny, a Scotch terrier, and the mascot of Company of It ho same regiment.

Fanny enjoyed the reputation of being puoh a clover chicken thief that she could supply her company in camp with fresh hen for breakfast every morning. at the corner of Central avenue and Park street lie was able to distinguish the man on the fence and Is positive it was the prisoner. He could not tell whether the man had on a necktie, but he had on dark clothes he had a dark mustache and a dark stubby beard. "Witness leveled his gun at the man and he dropped back behind the fence. When asked by defendant's attorney how he expected to kill both men by firing toward the spot whence the sound came, witness said he had no expectations as to how many he would kill.

"I fired first. They were advancing toward the door when I fired. They continued to come toward the door, shooting as they advanced. My gun refused to work and so I got out." Witness stifled to seeing two distinct flashes from two distinct revolvers. They were about four feet apart.

Hadley stated it was not his shot that disabled his revolver but the shot fired by the burglars. A piece of hard substance got in between the cylinder and the body of the pistol. Witness did not save the obstruction. Counsel asked witness if he expected any one to believe that when he aimed a revolver that was out of order at the man on the fence the man would drop back. Tfadley answered that the man did not know the sun would net work, and asked counsel to i lace himself in the same position.

suppose you could have used a bottle of cocktail with the same effect. don't know. Tf you were on the fence I think you would be able to distinguish a bottle of cocktail. Hadley repeated that he was positive the man on the fence was Sullivan, and that he had a dark mustache. Tills caused Sullivan to smile, and turning toward his brother he winked at the latter.

in referring to the shot ITadlev rereived in the finger, Crowley said: "Now. Mr. Hadley, do you mean to say that you did not shoot yourself?" Hadley answered do." An adjournment was taken until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. It is evident from the manner in which Sullivan's attorney is proceeding that his defense is to be made along the line that i Sullivan did not enter the store where the burglary took place.

It was during the engagement in which one puppy was killed that Stanley Delango, brother of Mrs. Letham, and two other privates of Company forgot the seriousness of battle for a moment and stooped to pocket one of the puppies.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 90S Broadway. Oct IS.

For the first time on record the District Attorney's office was lined $50 yesterday jby Justice of the Peace Edgar. An amination in a felony charge was set for i yesterday morning in the Berkeley court, and although all other parties were ent and ready to proceed, no representative from the District Attorney's office appeared, i.or was any excuse sent or request for a continuance. Judge Edgar waited a reasonable time, but hearing nothing, he declared that the District Attorney's office was in contempt i of court and imposed a fine of $50 on office. It transpired later that a deputy bad been ordered to attend to the Berkeleytrial, but that a mistake had been mad. in the time, and when this explanation was made to the Judge he magnanimously excused Disirirt Attorney Allen from having to pay the This is the second skirmish that has occurred within a few weeks between the I District Attorney's office and the Berke' ley court which is only just four months oki.

Two weeks ago Judge took it upon himself to appoint an official stenographer for the court, and the bill for service was declared Illegal by the District Attorney on the ground that only the District Attorney can appoint official stenographers in the Justice's courts. This incident caused a little friction which was not subdued by the little event of yesterday. ARCHITECT BENARD TO VISIT BERKELEY BERKELEY, Oct. Monsieur Benard of Paris, the architect whose plans in the Phebe Hearst architectural competition were awarded the first prize, will visit the site of the University of alifornia probably some time early next month. A cablegram was at Berkeley today saying that the distinguished architect left Paris yesterday.

It is understood that Mrs. Hearst intends leave for the East shortly. She will return in time to consult with Monsieur Benard during his stay in the university town. The object of the architect's visit is to look over the university grounds, preliminary to giving the final touches to his plans before any part of them is put into execution. The plans themselves are soon to be shipped to Paris to be exhibited at the Paris Exposition.

They will be given a place in the section reserved for Frer.ch architects Instead of going as a part of the exhibit of the University of California. The reason for this is 'hat the amount of Bpace reserved for California is much too Insufficient to give the designs the- display their Importance de- Berved. Censured the Institution.

M. S. Levy, Rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel, guided a large audience to the Hawaiian Islands last evening and the hour and a half spent in that beautiful land was of great benefit to those who listened to the doctor's entertaining talk. Stereopticon views of rare excellence were shown on a white canvas and made the tour of the audience an interesting one. B'nai B'rith Hall was crowded with the members and friends of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith.

It marked the third reception of the season under its auspices. As on former occasions it was well attended and did much toward the intellectual advancement of those present. Rev. Dr. Jacob Nieto, chairman of the committee having the affair in charge, opened the entertainment with a short address, in which he told of the effort being made to educate and interest the members and friends of the order.

He then introduced Morris Rose, who rendered a violin solo. This was followed by a song, "Because of Thee," by Berthold Tours, which Miss Hpymansnn artistically rendered. Miss Ella V. McOloskey's contralto solo was enjoyed, as was also Mr. Fleming's basso soln.

All those who participated in the programme were generously applauded. Dr. Nieto introduced his fellow-preacher in a few well chosen sentences. The lights were then turned out and Rabbi Levy transported his audience to the land sunshine and flowers. The' speaker has just returned from Hawaii and showed by his lecture that while In that country he had devoted his time to observation and study.

He described the various spots he had visited and told of tho customs of the natives. He eulogized the latter for their hospitality, generosity and great honesty. Throughout his lecture his audience showed the deepest interest and punctuated it with applause. Credit is clue the following gentlemen: Rev. Dr.
