WILL BE TWO HARBOR BRIDGES Railroad Company Has Sent Its Ultimatum to the County. Supervisor Talcott Makes Public All the Correspondence and Facts. Also Make 3 Reference to "One Member" and Some "Erass-Band Politics." Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 90S Broadway, Nuv. 29. I It was positively decided to-day that all propositions looking to a single bridge across tha estuary are in vain and in future, as in the past, there will be two actions to navigation in reaching the upper harbor of Oakland.

a letter from Manager Kruttschnilt read at the Board of Supervisors this which puts at rest all doubts in the matter. The letter stated that it would be a great inconvenience to the public, besides being dangerous, to have one large bridge which would take steam trains on the lower deck and electric-cars, wagon traffic and foot traffic on the upper deck and that the railroad company therelore declined to enter into any proposition to build such a structure. For two weeks it has been known that Supervisor Talcott had prepared a statement reviewing the bridge matter from the beginning for the purpose of refuting the oft-repeated statement of Supervisor Booth that there was a job in the transaction. Mr. Talcott waited for the final letter from the railroad company, which was received last night, and to-day made the expected explanation.

He reviewed at length the proceedings dating irom August, 1595, when the War Department issued its order that the bridges across the estuary, not being up to the Government standard, new ones or a new one should be built. Mr. Talcott produced all the correspondence between Supervisors and the railroad company and they were all placed on minutes, for the purpose, as he said, of being available in future years in case it might he suspected that all had not been straight. Although he did not mention Mr. Roetb's name he referred frequently to "one member 7 who had been doing some brass-band and who had given away for publication matters which were being quietly considered by the beard because iney thought it was the best method of arriving at a practical conclusion.

He referred to the fact that after the very first meeting of the new Board of Supervisors, of which Mr. Roe lb a member, a story was published heado i 'fcupervisor Roelh Scents a Jot'," and he said that this anxiety to antagonize the work in hand had greatly hampered the boa created unjust prejudices and fered with the proper course of events, evidently because the one member did not understand the legal responsibilities tiie Supervisor in the premises. Mr. Talcott said that he had been intending for a long time to give all the matter publicity including the correspondence, but not until to-day was he able to do so. On August lltn of this year a letter was to be railroad asking what they intended to do regarding building a bridge at Harrison stree and ii they did build there would they entirely abandon their rights on Webster-street bridge? Five days later a reply was received statin that tiie company intended 10 build at Harrison street, that it will commence soon, and 1 at it will have its bridge completed by 1893, which 1- the time set by the War Department.

Tbe company also siated that on the completion of the Harrison-street bridge it would abandon all its rights to both the Wei ster and Alice stnet bridges, and that the county could I do as it pleased with them. Once more the Supervisors wrote to the railroad company, slat ng that the community generally desired one bridge across the estuary, in view oi the fact that the shipping interests of the port of Oakland are steadily and rapidly increasing. The railroad company was a--ked if it wouid share with the county tne expense of such bridge; bit as under the law the county cannot pay for the approaches to the bridge, which are a great item, the road company declares that it sees no reason to reopen the matter, and will abide by its determination to have one bridge of its own at Harrison street. After having related these facts Mr. Talcott referred to Mr.

Roetb's resolution, which has been introduced by him at the past three meetings I the board tor the -urpose of "putting the members on regard to the matter. He concluded by stating that the were quite regular and that they sufficiently refuted any charges that might Dave been made regarding the sincerity of the board. A resolution was then introduced ordering the clerk to advertise fur plans for building a bridge from Webster street in accordance witn the requirements of the War Department. The bridge has to be 992 fee long, and a premium of $1030 is to be paid for the successful plana. Should the lowest responsible bid be higher than the engineer estimate then the engineer is bound to make good the difference.

These proceedings were all harmonious an. unanimous and -i not provoke any reply from Mr. Roeth such as was ex- ccted. TO SECUhE HIM WORK. Ogdpn Ketuseg to Sentence K.

He called his mother, who hastily entered the room and found her husband lying unconscious on the bed in his nUht clothes.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, Nov. 29. Rev. Edwards Davis of the Central Christian Church has determined to sever his connection with his congregation on the of January. His announcement has caused some surprise bit was not altogether unexpected.

About two months ago nn effort was made to consolidate the two Christian Churches of this city. A plan was proposed which it was hopad would bring aoont the union, but it blocked at the Central Church. Rev. Glenn of the First Church was so sore at the proceedincs that he resigned and went to a pastorate some other part of the Mr. Davis bas received no call, nor does he yet know what he in the future.

He bas attained great notoriety and some popularity on account of his radical de-1 artures from all that is conventional in the pulpit and the church. He succeeded in building up the Central Church to a great degree, and was a general favorite with ihe members. It is hinted that he may ke to the lecture platform, in wlrch line he has met with some success, while the statement is also quietly whispered that his dramatic talent would guarantee for nim a success on tho stage. afternoon Mr. nad agreed to perform a mar lace ceremony in a den of lions in San Franci-co, but the publ cation of the matter created so much unpleasant feeling at li is church that he witudrew, giving as his reason that he was not aware at the time the agreement was made it was to be a ceremony where ppople paid for admission, and thai it was not be a genuine but only a mock marriage.

No one for a moment dreamed that Mr. Div.s would be scared by the presence of a few owling lions, an I his secretary, who made the for the wedding, said to-day that the manager of the show had entirely mis- U'uierstood the castor's views. Mr. Davis wil not be allowed to leave his church without a strenuous effort beinir made by a large portion of his congregation to reiain him. When he first accepted the he was comparatively an unknown young man.

But Ins friends now feel that he should be in a broader position than the Central Church permits. MANUEL SAN 06 GONE. After Two Weeks Family Suggest I oul Play Hi) the Cuuae. OAKLAND, Nov. 29.

Dutton Will Try and Solve a Problem of the Last Century. A Card Worth 12 Shillings in the Days When Dollars Were Unknown. For Two Generations It Wai Hidden in an Ancient Book on Poetry. Oakland Office Fan Francisco Call,) ji)A Broadway, Nov. 29.

J. W. Dutton has an interesting liitle task 0:1 hand which will necessitate some correspondence with the Federal Government. A fe.v days ago while exploring an old book published in 1789, and which has been in his family for several generations, Mr. Datton found a colonial note of the yjlue of twelve shillings.

The note is an interesting little thing, and was issued by the authority of the New Jersey Colonial Government in March, and was one of the issued prior to the signing of a Declaration of Independence. He bas submitted it to experts, arid there is no doubt whatever as lo its beini: genuine. It bears the cnatures in writintr of throe parties whose names it is difficult to decipher, more especially as the ink is almost as yellow as ibe paper. On the back of it is tae emblem of the old New Jersey colony and in old English letters the siknificant hint "10 counterfeit this is death." Wi.at is interesting to Mr. Datton the question whether any provision bad been made by the iederat Government for the payment ot the jusl debts of the old colonies, and if so, whether it is jossible now for him to redeem hii certificate.

Mr. Dutton is a grtat student of me science of noveru ments, and declares that although his colonial note is worth more than VI shillings as a relic, ho is anxious to see in what condition affairs are under the circumstances. His idea is to find out whether the present Government assumed ail the responsibilities ot the old colonial srovernmpnt or if the present frovernnif-nt of New Jersey made a provision in or when its State i-overnment was place. 1 on a stable foundation to redeem tiif coionial paper. Mr.

Dntton's crandfather was personal acquaintance of George Washington, and lived in Conneciicu' at the time of the Revolution. The old in which the note was found has been in the family for two generations and is a treatise on epic poems and poetry in general, and it was ihraugn the ru.es for cumuosition laid down the book that J. W. Datton was ei.abled to obtain the high standard he now occupie-. aa a poet.

When telling the story of bis hnd Mr. Dutton repeated the old tale of Ocur putting me banknote In tne peasant's Bible, and said that if its presence in the baoic e-e t'ue to a similar circamstance his venerable ancestor had been Dadly fooled.
