THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1895, 11 LATEST AKLAND NEWS, A Tramp Arrested for Sleeping Among Coffins in a Vault. SCHAFFER YIELDS HIS KEYS. The Haywards Line Cannot Collect Fares From Mall-Carriers. Postal Expenses. The Oskland, San Leandro and Hay- wards road is bound by its franchise to carry postmen free within the city limits of Oakland. Postal Inspector Irwin visited Oakland yesterday and obtained informa- tion that will be forwarded to the depart- ment at Washington regarding the convey- ing of mail-carriers while on duty. For several weeks past Secretary Stone of the Oakland, San Leandro and Hay- wards road has been gathering information from the various streetcar companies in the county regarding the carrying of post- men. He has found that in several cities mail-carriers ride free and in many the Government pays, while in others the mail- carriers pay their own fares. In a few days a petition will be sent to the authori- ties asking that the roads be remunerated. “This move on the partof the railroad companies to collect fare will do alot of harm to the postal service in this city,” said Postmaster J. J. White yesterday. At the present time nearly all the re- ts of the office are used for expenses as and is the worst paying office for its size-of any in the country. *“Mr. Stone’s position is not very clear, About ‘a year ago he wanted a franchise along the water front somewhere and was jared to give anything for it to keep t competition. At that time the letter- iers’ transportation was being consid- and Mr. Stone was granted the fran- ideration of carrying the men free inside the city limits. 1f the ads refuse to carry the men we shall e to arrange matters so that we can take t advantage of our rights on the line.” TO DEVELOP OIL FIELDS, Qa A Company Formed to Bring Petroleum to Oakland. les of incorporation have been pre- i will be filed with the Secretary to-day for the development of the n Contra Costa County.

An Attempt Made to Legalize the Function of the Last Legislature. County Treasurer Sanford of Alameda County refused yesterday to pay the first warrant presented to him by N. V. Her- bert for a month’s salary as county detec- tive. This action of tke Treasurer will take a very interesting case into court. Mr. Sanford had given the matter some attention, and when Mr. Herbert presented his warrant he was shown two Supreme Court decisions that the Treasurer said he had been advised of by his bondsmen. The office of county detective was created by the Supervisors a month ago. Itcreated much surprise, and called forth much dis- pleasure all over the county, and was con- demned as a waste of public money. The salary was fixed at $125 per month, and H. V. Herbert, the dischurged claims adjuster of the Southern Pacific Company, was ap- pointed to the office. At that time there was less criminal business before the courts than at any time for the past two years. ‘When the office was made it was stated by Supervisor Church that it was necessary for the District Attorney’s office to have a detective at its disposal to assist in gather- ing evidence for criminal prosecutions. The Sheriff's office was said to be inade- quate, and additional help was necessary. 1t was not known till last night that an attempt was made during the last session of the Legislature to introduce a clause into the county government bill providing for the creation of the office of county de- tective. The measure was championed by ex-Chief of Police Schaffer, who tried to get the support of the Alameda County delegation. A member of the delegation said last night that the inquiry they made convinced them that such an office” would be a wanton waste of public money, “Assembiyman North, myself and Sen- ator Earl,” said he, “were approached and asked to aid the bill. We made a little in- vestigation and found that the Sheriff of Alameda County was netting from $7000 to $10,000 after all expenses. The District Attorney was making $5000 clear and was supplied with offices and a typewriter. “We concluded that with such margins the allowance must be very ample, and positively refused to aid the measure, which died. When the appointment was made Mr. Sanford’s bondsmen warned him of his liability if he paid any warrants to a county detective, and he decided not to do so. The place was created solely for the incumbent, to whom the Supervisors are under personal obligations, and it was an outrage, but fortunately the remedy is so simple that nobody will suffer. The salary proposed in the addition to the county government bill was $150, but I see the Supervisors fixed it at $125."” Mr. Sanford says he is absolutely sure of his position, and has the best of legal ad- vice. The Supreme Court opinions that he handed Mr. Herbert are: County of El Dorado vs. Meirs, 100 Cal., p. 268, and County of Los Angeles vs. Lopez, 104 Cal., p. . In each of these cases the Supervisors created the office of County License Collector, and the Treasurer re- fused to pay the warrants, The Supreme Court said in each instance: “The Board of Supervisors has no power to create any office except that power be delegated to it by the Legislature.” 1In each case it de- cided against the License Collector. THE OCCOEATAL CLUB Democrats From Bernal Heights Held an Animated Conference. President John McCarthy on the Subject of Party Organiza- tion. One hundred or more Democrats, mainly | young men, came in from Bernal Heights | Jast evening to attend the Thirty-fifth | Assembly District meeting at the Occi- | dental Club on the hill. The number that | went in filled the basement hall and made the meeting quite animated. P. F. Dundon, chairman of the organiza- tion committee of the Occidental, called his guests from Bernal Heights to order {and explained in the smoothest style of [eloquence the necessity of harmony and unity among the Democrats of the City. In a lucid manner he outlined the meth- ods of organization which the Occidentals had adopted and endeavored to impress | upon his hearers the idea that the meeting which he was then addressing was pre- liminary; that it was to be gnided by de- liberation in the initial proceedings and to keep deliberation in mind throughout sub- sequent transactions. William Bell, an impulsive partisan who bad given his time and car fare to attend | the conference, proposed to proceed im- mediately to the businessof the organiza- | tion: but he was restrained, ruled out of order and very nearly suppressed by the diplomatic Dundon, who kent insisting on reliminary deliberation, with a direct Eim that no permanent officers could be chosen without the approval of the di- rectors of the Occidenuf temporary chairman prevailed. looking ‘young Democrat arose th address | his fellow-citizens of the district, when a thundering voice shouted: “What are you doing here? You voted the Prohibition ticket at the last elec- tion!”’ Another voice: “Yes; he hasno busi- ness here. He ought to be in jaill” The temporary chairman restored de- liberation without delay and the meeting with a rush elected district and precinct captains. n due time the board of directors of the Occidental will pass upon the qualification of the captains chosen. John McCarthy, president of the Occi- dental, =aid in an interview last mght: It is not the intention of the club to interfere in local affairs, Contentions in the various districts and precincts must be settled in the respective localities. To assist the paity in organization the conveniences of the house will be tendered to Democrats. Our }:urpose mainly is to deal with Na- tional and State affairs of the party and to effect as far as possible permanent club organizations in the various districts. The club is in a prosperous condition and its membership is constantly increasing. We recognize that there must be a head and a metbod for organization, but beyond pre- scribing certain regulations to govern the formation of district clubs we shall not in- terfere in local matters,” e e e The Edwards Family Burfed.

An important mining deal was closed in Qalaveras County, Smith Flat mining dis- trict, a few days ago by the sale of the Fred Bruno mine to an English syndicate, composed of prominent mining men hail- ing fmm New York and Boston. The price realized from the sale of the mine is §75,000, Otto Doling, the proprietorof the Anéels Hotel at Angels Camp, was in the City esterday and reported that the pumps iave been placed in position at the Stickles shaft and that the work of draining the mine was rapidly progressing, but owin, to an accident, which might have resulteg fatally to a number of miners, the work of hoisting water by means of the skips, has been temporarily suspended. A skip borrowed from the Fox mine was laced underneath the water skip in the glickles shaft, and by that means double the amount of water was hoisted at each trip of the skip, when by an unlooked-for breakage of the machinery the water-hoist could not be stopped. The skips, with 1400 gallons of water aboard. crashed up into the sheaves of the galley-frame, breaking the rope and dropping the skips to the bot- tom—1185 feet—the rapid descent tearing the guides from the wall plates and remov- ing a number of the timbers, e ———— LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, A Dog-Poisoner Reported to Be Operating in the Uni- versity Town. o Doane Arrested and Discharged.

The finances of the Third Infantry Regi- ment, N.G. C., are causing trouble, and many and Dbitter are the words being ban- died over the regimental books. There are charges that Colonel Barry, the retiring commander, is not accounting for the | money which has been placed in his hands, and the officers have met, and will meet again, to sift the trouble to the bottom and arrive at a conclusion that will satisfacto- rily explain the trouble. The principal cause of contention ‘s over the whereabouts of §400 camp money which has been received by Colonel Barry, but about which the line officers claim to know nothing. As & matier of fact it is State money and Colonel Barry is bound to ac- count only to the adjutant-general for it, but some “circumstances surrounding the case make the company officers feel justi- fied in inquiring into it. In 1893 the Third Regiment went to camp upon a fund which was made up in the regiment. Each of the seven companies subscribed §50, and the staff subscribed $50 more, making an even $400. This amount the $400 received bE the colonel was sup- posed to pay back, but there has been no payment made, although the money ar- rived here some months ago. This fund the company officers want to know something about. Colone! Barry says it was expended 1n_camp expenses, but the strike camp was the only one since the camp of 1893, and all expenses of the strike were borne by the Siate. The officers do not charge irregularity in the books of the regiment, but they do want to see how the meney was expended. Hence the trouble. . An Arvizona Murder. ‘William Larkin of Kingman, Ariz., bas written to THe CALL in rezard to the re- ported murder of four prospectors, about thirty miles from that place. Mr. Larkin has made inves!iiation, but has found no gonfirmation of this item of news. The origin of the story probably lies in the fact tg;\t a man named Hall was found unconscious near Kingman, but after due care and attention from the county physi- cian he has quite recovered his health.

I could walk only a short distance, and some days not at all. But then I began for the first time to nse Paine’s celery compound. It cured me permanently, and I have not been troubled since!
