Their plan was to him in hisown house and obtain whatever valuables he might have, after- ward returning them in some mysterious way after enjoying a good laugh at his expense. Brockhurst was detailed to tamper with Clark’s weapon and see that no damage came from that direction. He removed the ball cartridges and substituted blanks. They repaired to Clark’s house, and after gaining entrance fixed themselves up with masks and other paraphernalia, including ropes to bind their victim. When Clark entered his house he found a revolver in the hands of a tall, slim man pressed to his breast. Clark grabbed at the weapon and suc- ceeded in getting hold of it, when a sha struggle for its possession took place, an the entire band of conspirators threw themselves npon him and attempted to overpower him.

Oakland at present has no garbage dunp- ing grounds, and the scavengers are thrat- ike. The residents im the nity of Third and Union streets hive entered a protest against the dumpin: of garbage in the slough that is located near there. The slough is so very offensiv t the health officers have been compelled to accede to the request. All that is left to the scavengers aretwo narrow strips at the foot of Harrisonand ‘Webster streets and along the line of First street, opposite Kirkham. These will won be filled, To Survey the Water Front. A The water front along the estulri;_u,e- ‘ng tween Clay and Webster streets, is surveyed by City Engineer Wilson. The purpose of the survey is to make ap eiti- mate of the costof dredging the estury between the shore line and the chang; Merchants have recently complainei of the shallowness of the estvary, saying tiat vessels with full cargoes are unable to lund, Engineer Wilson will hold a conferce with the Government surveyors in 8 isw days in order that he ma{)obmin the exsct figures he will require to base his estivate of the cost upon. | Judge Wood’s Warning. Druggist V. R. Cragin of East Oaking was before Judge Wood to-day chared with selling liquors. Attorney Whitzey, who defended him, moved for a dismisg] on the ground that the liquor was salifor medicinal purposes. Judge Wood Waned the defendant against selling liquor if he was not certain that it was to be usedor such purposes. A decision will be xp- dered Thursday. H Death of Confus L. Crabtree. Confus L.

Offered by President Scott. It may not be a very usual thing for a large manufacturing concern and a public school to be closely connected, but such is the case with the Union Iron Works and the Potrero Grammar School. The big concern is very much interested in the school. The era of school development, having anything like a nineteenth century spirit in it, began for this school when President | Henry T. Scott was elected School Direc- tor. Atonce some attention began to be | tions from foreign countries from those who have never seen the statue, and who are not identified with the social, political or_financial interests of this State or of this country, have been received continu- ously by the commission. Those letters are, to say the least, impertinent, ungen- tlemanly and uncalled for, and are written in the pure spirit of mischief. “I have never, in_all my artistic expe- rience in New York, in Philadelphia or in San Francisco, encountered such despic- able attempts to injure an individual who has been a successiul competitor. Malice, malice, malice,” added Mr. Wells with an indignant flash of his blue, artistic eye. “‘For ten weeks this discussion has been dragging its slow length. Every meeting it crops HF and is published by fhe news: papers. Iam tired of it. It isa new thing in my experience in art, extending over a period of twenty-five years in California. There is apparently no end to it. Mayor Sutro is like the Irishman’s flea. When you think you are putting your finger on im he is not there. “Why, he wanted the eagle on her girdle loaded with tin instead of copper, which would cost more than copper, and this I consider an unmistakable proof of his mania for white metal. It seems to me that Mr. Sutro cannot be convinced as to what metal should be used. The majority of the commission desire to have the statue cast in bronze, and this was in ac- cord with Mr. Sutro’s wish when the metal art of the work was first discussed. Now Ee has changed to white metal, and it would not surprise me if next weelc he be- came the most earnest and vigorous advo- GRADUATING CLASS OF THE POTRERO SCHOOL. [Reproduced from a photograph.] resolution, said that it had been statea that he introduced the resolution particu- larly to affect Principal McChesney of the high school. This, he said, he wanted to deny, as it was utterly without foundation. It was decided to postpone further consid- eration of the matter until the next regu- lar meeting. BERKELEY, The saloon-keepers of Berkeley refuse to pay the additional $100 asked of them by | Town Marshal Lioyd. They claim that | injustice is being done in attempting to collect more than was required by law at the time they took out their licenses. The new charter, which went into effect last month, provides that all such ordinances must have a 4 to 5 vote in order to carry. Hence the present board declares the liquor license ordinance void and are attempting to collect the other $100 from the sa{‘oon men. The majority of the dealers took out their licenses jor the fiscal year under the $100 law and they now absolutely refuse to pay a cent more, but are ready to settle the matter in court. Music by the Blind Students. The regular annual musicale by the stu- dents at the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind took place Jast evening in the auditorium of the school. The en- tire programme, consisting of sixteen num- bers, was performed by blind gupfls. ¥ Among those who fefiorma were Misses Fallon, sIo\mg, Scolberg, Oxton, Smith, Eastman, Nast, Foley and Labarage and Thomas Morrison. A Fireman’s Benefit. 2 A benefit party will be given about the 15th inst. by Beacon and Posen fire com- panies to George Tucker, whose house was burned a few diys aio. 3 A committee has been appointed by the faculty of the university to draw up appro- priate resolutions in honor of Professor Whiting’s memory. ALAMEDA. Civil Engineer Bannister is devoting much of his time to the proposition of hav- ing two highways for the use of railroads established on either side of the encinal, and will submit another communication to the City Trustees. He first called the board’s attention to the desirability of hav- ing such highways in the month of Feb- ruary, and the matter was referred to a special committee, consisting of President Forderer, City Attorney Taylor and the Street Committee. “The building of transcontinental rail- roads_to this coast is inevitable,” said Mr. Bannister yesterday, ‘‘and Alameda should prepare herself for them. It has the nat- ural terminus, and it _is none too socn to make arrangements. There isample room on either side of the encinal to devote to a railroad highway, and on such should the roads be concentrated. Alameda has no improved streets to spare for such a Violated an Ordinance. Valentine Egenberger was found guilty in the Recorder’s Court yesterday of a violation of the ordinance requiring horses to be hitched when left standing in the public streets. Testimonial Concert. A testimonial concert will be tendered Miss Maud Chappell, a popular contralto singer, at Armory Hall Monday evening, under the direction of L. W. McGlauflin, The Aratas’ Case. Mary Arata has filed an amended complaint in the S8uperior Court against Paul Arata ask- ing for $4000. The parties, though occupying the relation of niece and uncle to each other, married on September 23, 1885, the plaintiff being only 15 years old, an Italian and not aware that the marriage was void. In 1893 she instituted proceedings for divorce for cru- elty, and on the plea of her husbaud the mar- riage was annulled on the ground of the rela- tionship of the parties. In the meantime the: had accumulated property valued at mfl,ood, including a house at 27 Lapidge street, which Paul Arata occupied with his children after the annulment of the mm-f. The plaintiff asks for $1500 for rent of the house and $2500 damages for her labor, the use af premises and the injury to her good name prior to the an- nulment of marriage. —_———————— TaE cook should examine carefully the label of the baking powder and see that she il .

Principal Richard D. Faulkner | has been very enthusiastic in arranging a complete system of manual training, Were it not for the fact that the necessity and advantage of manual training are now | well recognized this would be said to be Mr. Faulkner’s hobby, for all his efforts by ¥ day are devoted to it, and pleasant dreams of a score or two of full-fledged young mechanics graduating next year make his nocturnal rests delightful to him, He is so devoted to tne school that. in- stead of rushing away as fast as possible and enjoying the full length of his vaca- tion, he will manage to put in his time discussing all sorts of sossible improve- ments in the numerous details, with Con- tractor Olsen, and will only spend a few days at Auburn. Contractor Olsen has entered into the spirit of progress fully as much, and has ever been willing to receive and ready to follow Ersctical suggestions. As a result of all this the Potrero is get- ting a pretty good school, as judged by the present, and one quite appropriate to the manufacturing interests located there. A chance visitor might mistake one of the classrooms for an amateur carpenter's- shop. There are little work benches in it, instead of the customary combination school desks, and tools galore, with famil- iar planes, chisels, saws, hammers and most everything a woodworker rejoices in, The public is fairly well familiarized with the sloyd system of manual training by this time, so a_description of it would be an old story. Of course it must not be supposed that this is distinctively a school of manual training to the exclusion of the studies in books. It has the usual num- ber of gmdes up to the ninth in all the ap- pointes has simply been added, considering the business character of the Potrero and the practical nature of its residents. The first inducement to the Pupila to put forth vigorous efforts to excel was offered this year by Director Scott. Being presi- dent of the Union Iron Works, he con- ceived the idea of offering, as a prize to the boy who could draw the best a position as apprentice in the draughting department of the works. Quite a number of the boys competed for the prize, and it was difficult to tell to which of two it should be awarded. These two boys were David A. Dickie and Bernard Hedstrom. Finally it was given to young Hedstrom, and as young Dicke stood the highest generally in the school, the Bridge medal was awarded to him. The names of the twenty- four graduates were published yesterday. THE CITV HALL ANGEL Sculptor Marion Wells Tired of Mayor Sutro’s Inde- cision. He Furnishes the Commission With the Formula of the White Metal. Marion Wells yesterday received a com- munication from the City Hall Commis- sioners requesting him to state the formula for the white metal of which the much de- bated statue is to be cast according to his contract with that body, upon the same basis as that understood by all who com- peted for that work., This formula was handed in and is as follows: ' Zinc 80, an- timony 10, tin 6, lead 4; total 100. This composition is far in excess of that used for commercial purposes, such as the ex- terior ornamentation of buildings, cornices, etc. 1 “Why,” said Mr. Wells, “does not tne commission, instead of experimenting on and assaying these metals, accept one which has been proven by the centuries to be capable of resisting all atmospheric ef- fectsand which every nation uses for pro- ductions of this character. Now, if the Commissioners who have advocated bronze and whose intelligence and experience have led them to this concluxion%eesiute it can only be from the desire to avoid ad- verse criticism, incited by unsuccessful competitors. *‘This, to say the least, is unkind on the part of those who have failed to obtain this work, injurious to art and unbecoming the spirit of "the true artist. Communica- studies, and the manual training | I am prepared to carry out my contract with the commission ac- | cording to the present specifications. I | only await their decision as to the metal— whether it shall be white or bronze.” Mr. Wells is unmistakably weary of Mayor Sutro’s indecision in the business and does not enjoy being the shuttlecock of that venerable connoisseur.” JULIUS MEYER IS CITED, The Lone Juror in the Paulsell Case to Be Tried for Contempt. Asslistant District Attorney Pelxotto States the Facts of the Case. Judge Belcher has cited Julius Meyer to appear in his court next Tuesday morning to show cause why he should not be pun- ished for contempt. Meyer stood out against his eleven co-jurors in the case of W. B. Paulsell, charged with robbing a faro bank, refusing to vote for conviction on the ground that he was prejudiced against the court. His fellow-jurymen filed a statement charging him with per- jury in the premises as violating his oath as a juror to try the case fairly. When Judge Belcher’s court opened yes- terday, Assistant District Attorney Peixotto gresented an affidayit stating the facts of the case. He said that_after con- sulting with his superior hedecided thatan investigation was in order. Julius Meyer had from the first ballot in this casere- fused to vote for conviction, on the ground that he had been reprimanded as a juror in the Worthington case; that his co- jurors had thereupon charged him with perjury; that Julius Meyer had sworn to try the case upon the evidence, but that, offended by the reprimand referred to, he had declared his intention of assisting in a miscarriage of justice, and stated that he would not change his purpose if kept in the juryroom for three months. Peixotto moved that Meyer be cited for contempt of court and } udge Belcher ordered the citation to issue. Meyer’s co- jurors were also ordered to appear atthe same time. ALL ARE INTERESTED, More State Institutions Indicate Their Interest in the Work of the Manu- facturers’ Associations. From all parts of the State the Manu- facturers’ Association is receiving letters signifying appreciation of their work. Yes- terday Secretary Mead received the fol- lowing letter from the Home for Feeble- minded Children at Eldridge: ELDRIDGE, Cal., June 6, 1895. L. R.

PRAISING THE WATER PEOPLE. Certain Improvements Made at the Instigation of the Law Defenders. The Grand Jury met yesterday after- noon, and for four hours wrangled with the very knotty report which is to be pre- sented at the final session next Wednes- day. The first matter considered was the case of George Fredericks, the Grant- avenue saloon-keeper, charged with grand larceny. Fredericks is charged with taking a gold wateh from P. G. Houson. After examin- ing several witnesses the jury returned an indictment, which was gresenwd to Judge Murphy at 8 o’clock. The court_fixed the bail at $2000 and ordered a bench warrant issued for the arrest of Fredericks. The supplies furnished the several mu- nicipal departments again came up for consideration. The Grand Jury has de- voted considerable time to this one item, and it is not at all surprising that the con- tractors should be considerably worked up over the investigations. The coal contractors were the only bid- ders for the City’s patronage that were called before the jury yesterday. Thomas Morton, ex-Supervisor E. M. Ebbetts and Pat L{nch were put through the sweat- box, their evidence going to show that though their bids were low, there was a considerable margin of profit in all the goods supplied by them. The witnesses were asked why if was that they invariably secured the coal con- tracts of the City, and how they could af- ford to underbid the other coal dealers. Their reply was to the effect that they were not aware of any underbidding; that they simply named a price that would leave them a reasonable profit, and that was all there was to it. The other dealers will be investigated in turn, and it is not improbable that the forthcoming report will contain many things that will ten show the careless manner in which the various municipal departments are con- ducted. The forthcoming rePort will pay its re- sEects to the Spring Valley Water Works, though, contrary to expectations, it will be more in the nature of approval than other- wise. Some months ago there was consid- erable talk about the impurity of the water furnished by the Valley people, though an investigation resulted in nothing startling. The Grand Jury, however, took it up, and in a quiet way got at the bottom of the matter. The water works people- showed them every courtesy, and appeared more than willing to correct any evils that might exist of which they were not then aware. They admitted that prior to January 1, 1895, the water in Lake Merced was sub- jected to certain impurities, but that the same had been corrected as soon as their attention had been directed to it. The officers of the water works stated that they had alreaay begun to correct the evils complained of, and were at work con- structing a canal from the watersheds to the ocean to carry off the filth hitherto emptied into the lake. There are a suf- ficient number of pure springs in the valley, they said, to supply all the water needed, hence their willingness to do any- thing within reason to give the people of San Francisco pure water. ‘Whether the probing of the Grand Jury inspired the work now being done by the S?ring Valley seople or not, the purifying of Lake Merced, and consequently of the water supplied to the people of San Fran- cisco, is an assured thing. It is stated that the improvements now in process of construction will cost nearly or quite $100,000. The Grand J will meet again Mon- day night, and will probably make their final report next Wednesday. The report will certainly not be delayed longer than Friday, June 14. “TuE] Royal Baking Powder is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phos- phates, or any injurious substances, “E.

Haskins that certain expressions complained of are scandalous. The expressions include: *‘Did you know that Haskins was an em- bezzler?” *“Why, he is; he was arrested at San Diego and tried by jury, and only escaped because the jury disagreed. The jury stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal.” “‘He was arrested for stealing tools.” “Haskins is a thiefand I shall put him where he belongs.” “There are places in the State where Haskins dares not go to, for the people would kill him if he went there.” Jordan says all the said expressions are true, denies that they were uttered on De- cember 26, 1894, in the hearing of C. C. Loomis, J. P. McElroy, Thomas Crossman and others, or that Haskins was injured by them in the sum of $50,000 or any other sum. — KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly um{ The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. 3 Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax. ative; effectually cleansing the system dispelling colds, heagaches lnd_ fevers and permanently Turing constipation.
