THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1895. LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, The City Council Prohibits the Charging of Fares on the Local. MANY TEACHERS DISCHARGED. There Will Be No Balloting for a Goddess of Liberty for the Fourth. By a vote of 6 to 3 the City Council last evening passed an ordinance introduced by Councilman Bassett prohibiting the charg- ing of fares between stations within the city limits on the Seventh-street local. Unless the Southern Pacific Company contests the measure and succeeds in hav- ing it declared iliegal, the train gates with the attendant gatemen will be an expensive luxury and probably be removed. Broadway and Washington street merchants would like nothing better than to see the gates go, as they claim that since they were put on the business of those thoroughfares has declined 25 to 50 percent. They long for the days when every train from East or West Oakland de- posited its load of passengers and made business lively. Councilman Bassett brought up the or- dinance, when a motion was made to refer it to the City Attorney for his opinion of its legality. Bassett protested against any such proceeding and asked for an imme- diate vote, which when taken resulted as stated. The vote was as follows: For the ordinance—Bassett, Buckland, Dow, Mott, Towle, Wat Against the or and Heitmann. Absent—Marshall and Manuel. Teachers Dismissed. After nearly four hours of star-chamber proceedings, which wrought up those in- terested in the election of grammar and primary school teachers to the highest pitch of excitement, the Board of Educa- tion last evening made the following changes in the positions under their juris diction: Miss Hanly, janitress of the Grove-street School, was replaced by Mrs. Coughlan; Allen Peel, janitor of the Lafayette School, was succeeded by E. J. Edwards; Mrs. A, R. Wood of the Cole School was replaced by Miss Dora Hufschmidt; Miss Agnes McFeely cf the Durant School gave way to Miss Beatrice McDonald; Mrs. W. B. Shorkley of the Durant School was succeeded by Mrs. Anna W. Trescott, Miss Jessie Irving of the Garfield School as replaced by Miss Emily McMullan, Miss M. E. Noian of the same school was replaced by Miss Martha France, Miss H. P. Stearnsof the Lincoln gave way to Mrs. I. M. Morgan, Miss Johnson of the same school, who was promoted to a ition in the high school, was succeeded ss Esther Frank. L. Storey and N. B. Turner of the Prescott School were re- placed by Grace M. Fisher and Mrs. G. W. ittlejohn. Miss M. T. Dunn of the night schoni was replaced by Mrs. R. Blackwood. Fought for a Job. Bert E. Sherman and Albert Haywood, two stalwart conductors of the Central- avenue Railroad Company, fought a savage bare-knuckle fight in the rear of the com- pany’s carhouse at Twelfth and Kirkham streets yesterday noon, with W. F. Rudolf, superintendent of the road, as referee and their positions in the company’s employ as stakes. Haywood is a stepson of the superintendent. ‘odr rounds were fought with savage vigorgefore Sherman began to show signs of weakness. He had been prezt{‘ badl; battered in the fray and jnst as the fiftl round was about to begin signified that he was willing to quit. “That settles it,” said Referee Rudolt, “your services are no ionger needed on this line, Sherman.” ‘Within a wug{e of hours Haywood had his hurts patched up and was back on hi r, while Sherman was nursing his bruise and pondering on the unfortunate fate which Fost him a fight and his job at the same time. No Balloting Allowed. The adverse comment of some of Oak- land’s society ladies on the plan of ballot- ing for a Goddass of Liberty has caused the cowmmittee having the matter in charge to abandon the project and a circular letter was issued yesterday morning. concluding as follows: Since its appointment members of the com- mitiee interviewea their friends and found several most estimable ladies who, after the matter had been fully explained, consented to the use of their names for the sake of the cele- bration; others sirenuonsly objected. At an informal meeting this morning the committee decided to drop the matter of a bal- lot contest and will selecta Goddess in some other way. The spirit of the Oakland public n. nance—Brospahen, Capell has been so harmonious to date that we do not | wish at this late day 1o take any step that will divide sentiment. COMMITTEE. ‘Walter Lambert in Jail. ‘Walter Lambert, ex-clerk of the Police Court, who is charged with baving misap- propriated funds intrusted to him in an official capacity previous to his hurried de- parture for Honolulu, spent last night in the County Jail. His case on a charge of embezzlement ‘was called in Judge Frick’s court yester- day, but Lambert did not appear and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. He was found in San Francisco, where he had been staying, and brought to this side. The Judge ordered him locked up. Lambert said he was sick and had so notified his attorneys, and he supposed a legal showing to that effect would be made. He says he bad no intention of being ab- sent and that he will soon obtain new bondsmen and regain his liberty. Narrow Escape. Miss May Perkins, daughter of Senator Perkins, narrowly escaped being seriously injured yesterday morning. She had been out taking her uisual morning horseback ride and was just passing through the gate- way of her home when her horse slipped and fell on the cement entrance. The stop was so abrupt that Miss Perkins was pre- cipitated several feet in front of the ani- mal. In her fall she just missed hitting 2 stone gatepost. As it was she was picked up with severai wounds on her face which bled profusely. No bones were broken and it is thoucht that no serious results will follow. Territied the Sisters. Terence Hogan, a man of high statue. terrorized the inimates of the Convent of tbe SBacred Heart on Webster street yester- day, and was finally locked up at the County Jail on a charge of insanity. Hogan forced his way into the convent, and, after making several incoherent de- mands, drew a revolver and threatened to shoot the sisters. Th%y gfl'fied him until the patrol wagon coul sent for, when he was removed, struggling and screaming. Hogan is evidently crazy, and imagines he is being pursued by relentless foes. Bunker Hill Celebration. The Alameda County Bunker Hill As- sociation celebrated Bunker Hill day yes- terday in a fitting manner at Sunol. A. Moore, president of the association, acted as master of ceremonies. Patriotic songs and addresses, with a tree-planting, were on the programme. The soil for the latter ceremony was furnished by Major E. A. Sherman. It came from all the principal historical places in America. Saluteswere fired from a cannon used seventy-five years ago. A gun used in the revolution- ary war was exhibited by Officer Rand. Lots of Schoolteachers. The semi-annual examinations for teach- ers’ certificates began yesterday in the High School building. There are seventy- five applicants, the largest ever known in the history of the county. The examinin, ard consists of County Superintendent J. P. Garlick, ex-County Superintendent W. [ F. B. Lynch of San Leandro, S. D. Water- man of Berkeley and J. H. Eickhoff of Alameda. Druggists’ Cases Ended. Druggist H. D. Kellogg, F. S. Osgood | and V. R. Cragin, who were convicted of | selling liquor without a license, were sen- tenced by Judge Wood yesterday to pay a fine of $20 or to spend ten days in the City Prison. They chose the former punish- ment. Arrested at Hanford. Constable Koch returned irom Ha yesterday with Ed Steward, alias ham, who disappeared from Oakland sev- eral ‘days ago with a_horse and buggy | telonging to Baker & Bro of the City | Hall Stables. He was arrested on a war- rant charging him with grand larceny. Lakeside Tennis Oficers. Officers of the Lakeside Tennis Club have been elected as follows: President, Wallace Alexander; secretary-treasurer, Sam Hardy; directors in addition to the | foregoing (ex-officio), Walter Magee, Sum- ner Hardy and Jackson Hatch. Will of W. R. Barron. The will of W. R. Barron, filed yester- day, leaves all of his property to his wife, | who is the petitioner for the probate of the same. The three children are not men- | tioned in_the document. The estate is | valued at $10,000. ALAMEDA. The Bacon Land and Improvement Company and James E. Damon asked the City Trustees last evening for \a rehearing of their majority protest against street | work ordered on Webster street, north- ward of Eagle avenue. They admit that notice of the hearing was received by them, but they presumed that facts sufficient were presented to entitle them to favor- able consideration. C. F. Fisher presented his claim against the city for $133550, being the first pay- ment on the heating plant in the Porter School building. C. F. Carlson took issue with the board on the appointment of 0. A. Zingg on March 12 as a regular officer to keep the speed boulevard in good condition. He suggested that the officer be dismissed. Insolvency Petition Denied. The petition of H. H. Schrader for final discharge in insolvency has been denied by Judge Ellsworth. Schrader formerly conducted a wall-paper and frescoing busi- ness on Park street, and had for a partner W. W. Fowler, to whom he \\'nsgargely indebted. When Schrader filed his peti- tion in insolvency Fowler set about to cir- cumvent it, and succeeded. Judge Ells- worth in his findings stated that Schrader compounded with one of his creditors, U. 8. Othet, and was otherwise guilty of in- tent to defraud and deceive. ‘Would Not Audit the Bill. J. H. Bruns has filed an answer to the suit of Dr. Kuchein, brought against him as administrator of the estate of Theodore | Herring, to recover $500 for medical serv- ices rendered. Bruns refused to allow the claim and wishes it to be established by legal procedure. An Action to Foreclose. J. K. Moffitt has brought suit to fore- close a mortgage on property held by Charles Potter, situated on San Jose avenue and Willow street. The mortgage 'Was given to secure two promissory notes amounting to $1500 with interest at 8 per cent. Tidelands Litigation. L. 0. Kellogg, E. B. Kellogg and Karl Kellogg, defendants, have filed their | answer in the suit of the Pacific Improve- ment Company against Judge James A. ‘Waymire and others regarding the owner- ship of north side tidelands. BERKELEY. | SAW THE COLIMA SINK, Mr. McLellan Witnessed the Wreck of the IlI-Fated Steamer. WAS FIFTEEN MILES DISTANT The Captain and Mates Refused to Allow Passengers Life-Pre- servers. A. D. McLellan, a florist on Washing- ton street, near Van Ness avenue, is justin receipt of a letter from his brother, W. G. McLellan, who has a large ranch in the State of Michoacan, Mexico. A portion of this ranch for several miles along the coast, and ¥ n half a mile of the shore Mr. McLellan has erected a handsome residence. From his home to Manzanilo, the last port touched by the ill-fated Colima before she went to the bottom, the distance is probably sixty miles. By means of a powerful glass Mr. Mc- Lellan is able to scan the ocean for prob- ably twenty-five miles out, though in | testimony in regard to the lumber piled on the hurricane deck. All the employes of the Mail Company swear that the shingles and scantling were not as high as the ship’s rail, while the passengers assert that they were higher and that they could sit on the pile and rest their feet on the rail. Touis Zangere, the United States sailor who testified last week, was recalled. “How nigh was the lumber piled?” he was asked. % ; “About 4 feet 6 inches.’ “Do you know if it fetched away before the lashings were cut?” “I do not think it did.” “Do you think if a_good main spencer had beenset and a drag had been over- board the ship 2ould have been saved ?”’ *‘She would have had nine chances ount of ten of being saved if the cargo had been properly stowed. I don’t think she could have lived through the second squall though.” “Did the ship have any tendency to be cranky before leaving Manzanillo ?” “No, sir.” Samuel W. Hawxhurst, superintendent of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s wharf, testified as follows in response to a request of Inspector Talbot to make a statement in regard to the repairs on the Colima: “Her old boilers were taken out in 1887, and the ship’s bottom put in therough re- pair. The old frames were taken out, and the cement cleaned off. The angle irons were carried up the snip’s sides above the orlop deck. Forward the watertight bulk- head was made good, 28 was also the bulk- head between the engines and the after hold. After the new frames were put in the floor was cemented and a layer of bricks'was laid on the cement. New coal- bunker bulkheads were put in all the way S. W. HAWXHURST, SUPERINTENDENT PACIFIC MAIL DOCKS, ON THE WITNESS-STAND. The Board of Trustees is contemplating | a rearrangement of the electric lighting | system, owing to the many complaints | from different sections of Berkeley con- | cerning the lack of necessary lights. Removal of St. Mark’s Church. 8t. Mark's Episcopal Church is being re- | moved to a lot two blocks east of its pres- | ent site, where it will be remodeled and an addition_erected. Rev. G. A. Eastor, rec- tor of the church, has announced that there will be no more services until their newly refitted edifice shall have been com- | pleted, which, it is expected, will be in | August. Death Roll for May. | Health Officer Rowell has reported to | the State Board of Health that ten deaths | took place in Berkeley during the month | of May from the following causes: Con- | sumption, 1; bronchitis, 1; typhoid fever, | 1; cancer, 1; disease of the heart, 1; other causes, 5. F¥uneral of Miss Rideout. The funeral of Miss Adelaide Rideout took place yesterday afternoon from her late residence at 2323 College way. The services were conducted by Rev. C. J. Mason of 8t. Mark’s Episcopal Church. Sunday-School Outing. The Sunday-school of the First Presby- terian Church will hold its annual picnic | to-morrow at Wildcat Canyon. | Personal Mention. { | The family of Professor Albin Putzker has gone to St. Helena for the summer. Captain Demoro and family will leave to-morrow for their ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mr. and Mrs. Horace Gushee are spend- ing a few days at Santa Cruz. P. A. Wagner, Winfield Schmidt and I. Sadler left yesterday for Plumas County on a hunting expedition. Mrs. F. M. Husted and children will | leave to-day for their ranch at Saratoga to be gone for the summer. r. and Mrs. Sidney Rhoror will leave in a few days for Angels Camp, where they will locate permanently. The wonderful sale of the Royal Baking Powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—is perhaps the highest evidence of the superiority of this article and of its indispensableness to mod- ern cookery. PHI GAMMA DELTA, A College Greek Letter Society Holds a Banquet and Forms an Alumni Association. Members of the Phi Gamma Delta, a col- | lege Greek letter fraternity, which has chapters in the University of California, Stanford University and some thirty-five other American colleges, formed an alumni chapter last evening in this City at the Cal- ifornia Hotel. About twenty-five college | men: from different universities sat down to a dinner, and after the toasts and college songs, a business meeting was held. | _The following officers were elected: H. M. Wright of the Lowell High School, Ercsldenl; Edward W. Hill, secretary; J. rooks Palmer, treasurer, and W. H. Ham- mon of the Weather Bureau, Franklin V. Brooks, J. Brooks Palmer, E. W. Hill and C. 8. Young, executive committee, Among those present were: W. 5 Hammon, C. 8. Young, J. Brooks Palmer, Percy L. King, Edward W. Hill, E. N. Henderson, E. C. Edson, J.

A storyis told of his having once been terribly interrupted by the incessant coughing of his congrega- tion. Whereon he suddenly paused in his sermon and interjected the remarked, “Last night I was dining with the Prince of Wales.”” The effect was miraculous, and a deathly silence reigned as the reacher continued, “As a matter of fact, was not dining with the Prince of Wales [Sketcied by a * Call” artist.) stermy weather this distance is materially | through. After these repairs were made decreased. In the letter referrgd to above he gives a graphic description of the sink- ing of the steamer and subsequent rescue of ten people who floated to shore on rafts. Among other things, Mr. McLellan says: As near asJ can recall now it was about8 o’clock in the morning when the Colima went | | down. T got up early, and found that during the nightastorm bad blown up. The wind was blowing at a pretty stiff rate, though I have secn it worse, while the rain was coming down in torrents. Away off in the distance I observed smoke, and of course knew at once that it came from a steamer. 1 went for my glass, and, catching the proper focus, saw the Colima probably fifteen miles out, and apparently laboring heavily. The rain was 5o intense that I was forced to go in- doors. Later, when I returned, there was not a particle of smoke to be seen, and as for the vessel she had entirely disappeared. Of course Iknew at once that she had gone down, though at the time I was unaware of the fact thatit was the Colima. Forty-eight hours later a raft came ashore bearing on its uncertain surface five ragged, wretched and hali-starved people. Two days after this, or four days from the time the Colima went down, another raft Learing five people drifted in. They told a most pitiful story of the hardships they had encountered and of the incessant struggle for life. For four days and nights they were without bread or water, and a more wretched-looking set I never | saw. Of those who floated in shore at my Dlace were three cabin passengers, four steer- | At first it was re- | ported that five had landed here, but the right | age and three of the crex. number is ten. [Mr. McLellan does not give the names of the rescued passengers and crew.] I am told by one of the passengers that Pro- fessor Whiting, wife and one child were stand- ing on the deck when a fiying spar struck Mrs, ‘Whiting and child and knocked ihem over- board. Whiting got on the raft with the first five that came ashore, but for want of strength was unable to retain his hold. the raft turned over, dislodging the people on it,and it was on the last turn that Whiting failed to regain his hold. The others managed | to regain the rsft, though they all tell a pitiful story of their struggles in the water. From the story told by the people here, I think the disaster was all brought about by Captain Taylor. Certaln it is that he made 1o attempt whatever to save the lives of his passengers. The rescued passengers tell me that the coverings were not even taken off the boats, and furthey that the passengers were not notified of the danger until five minutes before the Colima went down. The freight ports could not be closed on sccount of the immense cargo of lumber and other merchan- dise. The water rushed through these port- holes, and in a few moments put out the fires in the engine-room. Then the Colima was practically at the mercy of the waves. Ilearn that a feeble attempt was made to hoist a sail, though there was such confusion then that it was practically useless to attempt to do any- thing. The passengers endeavored to take down the life-preservers, but the mates forced them to put them back. One of the men here picked upa preserver, and he was peremptorily or- dered to put it back where he had found it. All the women and children were on deck just before the Colima went down, though many were washed off by the rushing waters ana knocked off by the flying spars before the final end came. Iam keeping the ten men here at the ex- pense of the Mexican Government, though I would have been l;uu a5 willing to have kept them free. The President telegraphed me to ive them every care and attention and the iovernment would pay for it. oy i LUMBER ON THE COLIMA. Passengers on the Lost Ship Say It Was Above the Ship’s Rail. The investigation into the loss of the steamer Colima did not develop many new facts yesterday. Charles H. Cushing, one of the passengers, was subpenaed last Sat- urday, but failed to put in an appearance. He is now liable to a fine of $100, and un- less he can prove sickness or give a valid last night, but with my own family. Iam glad, lEnwever. to find that I have at last your attention.”—Tit Bits, -~ excuse the penalty will be enforced. There has been considerable conflict of Three times | | | | | | is the the new boilers were put in place.” “How thick was the cement on the floor?” “‘From an inch to an inch and & half un- der the brick.” “Do you have charge of the ballasting ?"* “Yes, the order comes from the general agent to me, and I see that it is put in.”’ “Was any ballast put in the Colima be- fore she sailed 2 ‘‘Yes, there were 100 tons put in the after hold, and there was already from 20 to 25 tons in her.” “Why was that ballast put in?" ‘““Because of the light run of cargo com- ing back, the coffee season being closed."” “Do yon know if there were any sails on that shi{)?” “To the best of my knowledge there were fore and aftsails for both masts. The mate’s report shows that she had all the necessary canvas.” “‘How much coal was on the ship?"’ “My receipts call for 508 tons.” “Would the coal run from the uppor bunker into the lower one?’’ *“Yes, sir; considerable of it would. It Er:‘ctice on the ships to keep these lower bunkers as near full as possible.”” ““Was there a drag on the ship?’’ “Yes, sir; I remember seeing it on her last inspection.” ‘*‘Had you any talk with the captain be- fore the shiE sailed? Did he object to going out in her?” “No, sir; I never heard anything of the kind, and I was with the captain until within five minutes of sailing.”” “How much lumber was there on the upper deck ?”’ ““Well, I should say there was from thirty-five to forty tons, but that was not as much as T have seen the same vessel take away. The lumber was not up to the top of the rail.” ““Where were the life preservers stowed in the steerage?"’ ‘““Between the crossbeamsoverhead. She had 380 of them, all told.” “Were they accessible 2” “Yes, sir; they were. She also had eight lifeboats, and they were thoroughly equip&\ed. The six amidship-boats were lashed in their chocks as in all seagoing ships, and the two after-boats were swun. out ready to lower at a moment’s notice.’ “Were there any liferafts?” *“Yes, sir; two—16 feet each.” f\dt this point J. McMorrow broke in and said: “I should like to ask if T could reach those life-preserversin the steerage with- out anything under my feet ?" ““Yes, you could reach them,” answered wxhurst. “Well, I was there and tried it, and I could not.” “Well, so was I. Can’t you reach seven feet? Asfar as I can recollect, the dis- tance from the deck to the beams is about seven feet.” I was there with my two sisters, and I had an interest in examining those life- preservers. When the steward was taking my sisters along he said he couldn’t get them in that way because of the cattle on the deck. There wasonly one way in and out of that steerage, and when the lumber shifted over the opening my sisters and the other passengers were caught like rats in a trap. I say again that those life- reservers could not be reached by any- dy, unless they had something to stand on.” “Well, I conld reach them without any trouble,” said Hawxhurst, and that ended the discussion. “I have twice been to the Mail Company and asked them to change the spelling of my sisters’ names on_the passenger-list, but they refuse to do it,” said McMorrow afterward. ‘““They were on their way to New York to meet my brother, and on the list they are down as McMurry., If their bodies are washed up no one would know who they are.” The inquiry will go on to-day at 1 p, M. They do not think anything of an egg in China, it seems, until it is about 100 years of age, old eggs being worth as much in that country as old wine is elsewhere, They have a way of burying the eggs, and it takes about thirty days to render a pickled egg fit to eat. Some of the old eggs have become as black as ink, and one of the favorite Chinese dishes for invalids is made up of eggs, which are preserved in jars of red clay and salt water. WORK FOR THE FOURTH. The Arch Designed by Archi- tect Hamilton Is Ac- cepted. THE REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. That on Decorations Holds a Long and Very Interesting Besslon. The executive committee on the Fourth of July celebration held an interesting meeting yesterday evening at their rooms in the Mills building. The sub-committee on seats made a report, and offered a bid to erect seats for school children on Van Ness avenue for $345. It was accepted. The bidder was H. W. Bagge. The sub-committee on regalia handed in the following report, which was read by the secretary and approved: Your committee on regalia held a meetin; on the 15th inst. at 8 o’clock P. M., with a ful attendance of the committee. Six firms were invited to bid on regalia; but_four responded, namely: Messrs. J. M. Litchfield & Co., D. Nor- cross & Co., B. Pasquale & Sons, Goldstein & Co. After opening the bids and carefully consid- ering the designs, also comparing samples with prices, we finally decided to make the awal to_the following-named firms, viz.: J. M. Litchfield & Co., D. Norcross & Co., B. Pasquale & Sons. The report of the committee on floats provoked considerable discussion, many ch&n]ges being suggested, thou’fh it was finally adopted as submitted. The report reads as follows: The committee has decided to adopt the fol- lowing floats to be used in the parade and to recelve bids for the same: No. 1—Original_thirteen States, each State being represented by a girl holding & banner with the name of the State and flag. No. 2—Moll Pitcher at the cannon, with the dead and wounded soldiers lying about. No. 3—Battleship Constitution, representing the navy of 1776. No. 4—Liberty Bell, the man represented in the act of ringing it. : No. 5—Ship of State, carrying forty-five girls, %m;: Tepresenting one of the States in the nion. No. 6—Columbia rules the world, represent- ing Columbia standing on the globe floating in the clouds and holding aloft the American flag. V%e have elected James L. Case a member of our committee vice Purcell Rowe, resigned, and deeming it necessary to increase our com- mittee nave also elected O. 8. Johnson and C. J. Hanley members thereof, subject 10 your ratification. The printing committee have awarded the contract for publishing 15,000 pro- rammes to L. H. Cooper & Co., who have been furnished with the proper credentlals. This programme will be official, and con- tain the line of march, literary exercises, fireworks, etc., and will be the only one recognized by the committee. Action on the fireworks was postponed until the meeting of the executive committee to- day. The design for an arch caused consider- able discussion, though the plan of Archi- tect Hamilton was finally accepted, pro- vided the finance committee can see their way clear to raising the necessary money. The Hamilton arch will cost, when com- pleted, $1850. The decoration committee held a long session last night, devoted entirely to the reading of reports handed in by various sub-committees. The committee on elec- tricity said that in view of the fact that nothing definite had up to that time been done in reference to the arch, they had postponed seeing the electric company, but that they would attend to the matfer at once and report at the next myeting. The committee to visit the press in regard to the arch reported neinl% the managing edi- tors of the Carr and Examiner, who had sromised to lend their aid in any direction esired. Mr. Code reported that he had seen sev- eral of the lumber-dealers, and he believed the nocessary material for the arch could be secured free of cost. He was positive the dealers would give at least half the material. Mr. Code was asked tosee the dealers to-day and report to the committee at the next meeting. The bid of Domonic & Co. on street decorations was read and ac- cepted. Almagla After Crespi. Giovanni Almagia, editor of I.Ttalia, is after the scalp of Cesare Crespi, editor and proprietor of 11 Messaggiero. Accompanied by his attorney, Almagia appeared in Judge Campbell’s court yester- day morning and swore to a complaint against Crespi charging him with criminal lfi)el. The hibel (‘ompfsined of was pub- lished in last Sunday’s issue of Il Messag- giero. The cause of complaint appears to be the indignation of the editor against Almagia on account of a letter sent by him to C. G. Solaro of Galveston. m‘fhahd @T‘ gSORTS BRI RUERITEE Board $8 to $10 Per Week. $8—ROUND TRIP TICKET—$8 ANDERSON SPRINGS. J. ANDERSON, PROPRIETOR, Lake County.
