A Valuable Franchise. The value of the proposed electric road to Livermore is best shown by the compe- tition for the franchise. Yesterday morn- ing the Supervisors were served with a writ of mandate ordering them to award the franchise to A. D. Thomson, or failing to do so, to show on the 12th inst. The writ went into the details of the awarding of the franchise last week to E. P. Vandercook, and sets fortlr that the franchise was not awarded to the highest bidder. The details of the bids were pub- lished 1n THE CALL of last week. It is generally believed that the bid of Thomson is in the interest of the Hay- wards electric road monopoly, which is not anxious for competition, as Thomson isnot in the street-railroad business. The point upon which Mr. Thomson bases his argument is as passed upon by the Dis- trict Attorney’s office, and it is not thought likely that the ruling will be reversed. Mr. Thomson apoeared before | the Supervisors as a worker with Gus Mac- donald. Mr. Vandercook is of the opinion that the opposition to his obtaining the fran- chise is simply te harass and annoy him. When asked about the competition he said: “I am satisfied that this action on Macdonald’s part is simply to put stum- bling stones in the way of our advance- ment. I am sure he does not represent any corporation that is sincere in the mat- ter or intends to build such a road as we propose. The people were anxious %o have us extend our line from Fruitvale and gave us every encouragement. They willingly donated the land for the tracks,and we were prepdring to go ahead when Gus Mac- donald rushes into print, offering to buy rights of way along our proposed route. Then things changed. People held back and changed their opinions. I am sure Thomson does not represent any corpora- tion that is sincere in the matter or in- tends to build such a road as we propose.” At the City Conncil. At last night’s meeting of the City Coun- cil an attempt was made to create the office of Assistant City Attorney. It was shown that the incumbent received an ad- ditional $50 per month for his duties as Commissioner of Public Works. The office of Assistant City Engineer was created, but no one was elected to the office. The salary was fixed at $125. A communication was received from several insurance companies asking that tie two rival water companies should be awarded alternate hydrants. The mat- ter was referred to the Fire and Water Committee. An effort made by Bassett to appointa clerk to the Mayor was defeated. A bid for atelephcne franchise was re- ceived from the Commercial Telephone CumKnny of Alameda County offering $50 for the franchise and_balf of 1per centof the gross receipts. The bid was referred tothe Ordinance and Judiciary Committee.

Frances Enos, who formerly resided in San Leandro, committed suicide in Butte, Mon- tana, Seturday nignt. She was despondent aiter having been deserted by the man with whom she had run away from home. The entertainment at the Labor Bureau this evening promises to be a highly enjoyable affair. Little Miss Ina Lillian Gerrish, the famous whistler, has been secured, and will delight the audience with several numbers. Chief Lloyd has issued a call to all of his men to assemble together at 2 o'clock this after- noon, when he will give them some instruc- tions. The meeting will be & private one, as the Chief says that he wants to talk to the men confidentially. Judge Ellsworth yesterday morning denfed application of E. G. Buswell for a writ of alter- native mandate 10 compel Auditor Whidden to accept the original assessment upon prop- exty which was reduced by the County Board o qualization. The contest for the position of postmaster at Elmhurst is being waged hotly since Louis Simonsen resigned several weeks ago. The contest is & three-cornered one, being between Newton Gray, the local druggist, P. Magon- esses, the village Populist, and J. Allison, a grocer. D. C. Cempbell, the real estate man recently from Canada, charged with fraud, was dis- missed_from custody yesterday morning by Judge Wood ruling that under the State law he couid not be held.” The Judge said he regret- ted this course, for he believed Campbell was guilty of fraud. Doctors Seliridge and Bradley, the Mayor's late appointees on the Board of Health, for whose admittance the latch string is not out, have not made rapid progress in their puit to oust the present occupants of the position they were chosen to fill. Application will soon be made to the Attorney-General, as the law re- quires his sanction of the proceedings. QUICK DETECTIVE WORK. Emil Girardin, a Waiter at Delmonico’s, Arrested for Burglary. A diamond scarfpin and diamond brooch and $25 in gold were stolen from the room of John Byrne, a guest at Delmonico's restaurant on O’Farrell street, on Friday evening. The loss was reported at police headquarters about noon yesterday, and Detectives Coffey and Byram were put.on the case. Inan hour they returned to the City Prison with Emil Girardin, a waiter in the restaurant, and booked him on the charge of burglary. 3 They were not long in ascertaining that Girardin entered the room on Friday even- ing and stole the articles and money. They also found that he placed a box con- taining the pin and brooch in a safe close by after he had quit work on Friday night. They recovered the articles from the safe and booked them as evidence against Gir- ardin. The detectives state that Girardin was arrested some months ago for stealing a coat and got sixty days,and that was why they suspected him. MR, BASSETT'S BAD SLIP He Fathered an Ordinance That Kills the Assess- ment. LOCAL FARES ARE ILLEGAL, Two Measures Passed Upon by the Councll That Nullify Each Other. A new element has entered into the as- sessment of the Seventh-street local line as a street raitroad. It is the first ordinance fathered by Councilman Bassett in the Council, and is considered a joker in that gentleman’s pack. The ordinance which is referred to was finally passed and signed by the Mayor about six weeks ago, and prohibits the col- lection of fare on the Seventh-street line. Itis very apparent that either the ordi- nance or the assessment is not valid. If the Seventh-street local is a street railroad then the company is at liberty to charge fares; if a portion of the main system, then the State board is the only body that can legally assess it. Attorneys of the railroad were looking over the records at the City Hall yester- day and when they refuse to pay the tax on their Seventh-street property, as they have already given notice of their inten- tion not to pay, the ordinance making it illegal to charge fares will be their main argument. Although the ordinance was ‘to take effect immediately on its passage’’ it has never yet been enforced, and Mayor Davie has not given any reason why he has not required its enforcement. The | fares are still charged, and but few people seem aware that the Council has declared the collection to be illegal. Another peculiar feature of the case is that Mr. Bassett introduced the ordinance and worked it through, and he also made the motion to let the assessment on the Seventh-street road stand at Assessor Dal- ton’s figures. These two measures are so diametrically opposed to each other that Mr. Bassett has been accused of not acting in good faith. i Attorney Baker of the railroad company is confident that the taxes on the Seventh- street road will never be paid. “We are prohibited from collecting fares on that portion of our system, and if that be so it is all nonsense to assess the line as a doubt as to the issue of the attempt to tax | it. The matter has already been settled | by the Supreme Court. The position of the city in the light of the ordinance and the assessment is very much of an enigma.” At the time of the passage of the ordi- nance City Attorney Peirsol gave an opin- ion to the effect that it was legal, but last Saturday night he was not consulted re- garding the assessment.

John Daggett, Superintendent of the Mint, Mr. Welborn, Collector of Internal Revenue, Mr. Colnon, Harbor Commis- sioner, Mr. Berry, Assistant United States Treasurer, and Mr. Green, Surveyor-Gen- eral of the Land Office, are accounted highly respectable Democrats, but they are all'from the interior. The Democrats that assemble at the Baldwin Hotel every night assert that these gentlemen from the country make gnevous mistakes every time that they attempt to do San Fran- cisco politics. ~Anoldtimer said last night: “What would I know about Stockton politics if I should go there and set up to run things. I wouldn’t know the record of this man or that man, and surely around me would be gathered the kind ef men that the party has no use for.” Word has been npassed along the line to the effect. that Col- lector ~ Welborn ~ will hear from the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Car- lisle. The inquiry, it is said, will relate to Mr. Lannigan's duties as a deputy, and also his accomplishments as a tactor in the control of these Democrats belonging to the “Solid Eight.” Mr. Lannigan is a deputy holding office under Collector Welborn, and some of the Democratic politicians de- clare that civil service regulations should reach him. ON ACCOUNT OF A WOMAN, Charles Wagner of Oakland Has Probably Commit- ted Suicide. A Farewell Letter to a Friend—Chll~ dren Give Up Home and Go to Alaska. Charles Wagner left his home and five children at Market and Seventeenth streets three weeks ago, told his friends he was going to end his life on account of a woman, and has not since been heard of. His friends fear he has put his threat into execution. . Wagner was a well-to-do man, who had been connected with the Alaska Fur Com- any. He lived an apparently happy life with his five children, and never gave evi- dence of any lack of money. He was a widower, moved in good soeiety, and was considered first-rate company. About a month ago he told his eldest daughter that he intended to end his life, but they treated it as a joke and paid no more at- tention to it. About three weeks ago he was one of a party of jolly campers at Santa Cruz, and, without giving any warning or excuse, he dropped out of sight. He did not even take his grip with him, and for a day or two no attention was paid to his absence, as it was thought he had wandered off to enjoy a day with a friend. About three days after Wagner's disap- pearance Frank = Thwaites, the official stenographer of the District Attorney's of- fice, received a note which had been writ- ten by Wagner. It recounted the fact that | he de~ired to end his life, and said that | Thwaites must not think it was financial trouble that caused him to take his life, but that it was all on sccount of a woman, who had completely upset his peace of mind and rendered death preferable to life. “‘Before you get this,” the letter con- cludea, “I shall have carried out my de- sire, and shall not be alive.” night at the office of H. P. Moreal to con- | sider the advisability of reviving the speed | track. Judge John Ellsworth issued the | call for the meeting, and about $180 was collected. No work will be done on the | track till $250 has been subscribed. The | name of the club is the Alameda Driving Association. The officers are: John Eils- worth, president; Silas White, vice-presi- dent; 1. L. Borden, treasurer; A. L. Burns, secretary; A. H. Cohen, superintendent of the track. The initiation fee was placed at $10. The next meeting will be held on the 19th inst., the president being empow- ered to call special meetings when de- sirable. May and December were united when Peter Olsen, a young man 33 years of age, and Dorothea Olsen, an aged German woman, were married. O!d Dorothea has again resorted to the courts for protection. A complaint was filed by her in Judge | Swasey's court yesterday charging Peter | with gross cruelty and battery. | Peter was found guilty of the same of- fense he is now charged with last Febru- ury, and served a sentence in the County Jail, and she obtained a divorce from him | in the meantime. After serving his sen- | tence Peter returned to his aged wife, and with tears of contrition induced her to | overlook his past upon his promise to do | better. The old lady now claims that | Peter, under pretense of having her sign | marriage papers, secured her signature to | the title deed to her propertv, which he | forthwith hypothecated, realizing the sum of $300. Mrs. Olsen now claims that this is not | Peter’s first matrimonial experience, and that he has a wife now living in Sweden, who recently communicated with the Swedish Consul in San Francisco with a | view to having him assist in her support. ! The result was that Peter has been placed in an embarrassing position. Knowing that wife No 2 had $1000 on deposit in the Union Bank of Oakland he made a strong effort to secure it. The officers of the bank, however, had a slight knowledge of Peter's record and concluded to consult Mrs. Olsen before pay- ing over an?y money. The old Jady is of the opinion that if Peter ever gets his clutches on the money he will hie himself away to his far-away fatherland and enjoy hersavings with wife No. 1, which she proposes to prevent. She has also filed a suit to have the mortgage set aside, which was signed under misrep- resentation, and to secure the return of her property. Does Not Want the Office. Max Gundlach yesterday abandoned his contest for the office of chief engineer of the Alameda Fire Department. F. K. Krauth Jr. is now supposed to have a “‘lead-pipe cinch’’ on the position, Judge Greene having yesterday decided that re- view was not the proper procedure, and that if the petitioner wanted relief he must seek it in quo warranto proceedings. If Gundlach could thus have himself confirmed in office as a result of the elec- tion held on the 23d of February, he could only serve three months, the veriod that elapsed from the date of the election until the Trustees amended the ordinance mak- ing the office appointive. Inasmuch as the salary is only $65 per month the game is hardly wort{ the candle, and Gundlach has concluded to give up the battle. National Union Council. General Deputy A. A. Campbell of the National Union will organize a council in Alameda next week. Claims of the Water Company. The Artesian Water Company yesterday filed its claims for water furnished the citry during July. The street-sprinkling bills amounted to $1168 28, under the new rate of 20 cents per 1000 gallons. The total for water furnished the city amounts to $1965 34, Searching for Her Husband. A woman and two children, a boy eight years of age and a girl five years of age, were given quarters in the City Prison last night. They could speak very little English, but from | an envelope found in the woman’s pocket, The children have given up all hope of again seeing their father alive, and have sold out the furniture and gone to Alaska, where they used to reside before coming to Oakland. They are convinced that their father has carried out his threat to commit suicide. Mr. Thwaites refuses to discuss the relationship of Mr. Wagner and the lady referred to, but says thathe is familiar with the whole story and thinks Mr. ‘Wagner has carried out his intention of ending his life, LATEST BERKELEY [TEMS, Marshal Lloyd Questioned on His Right to Tempt a Saloon-Keeper. Sanitary Inspector Finds the Fifth Ward to Be Much In Need of Drainage Facillities. Town Marshal Lloyd has been more or less criticized recently with regard to the method he used in ascertaining that Jucob Lenz was engaged in selling liquor with- out a proper license. At the trial of Lenz on last Saturday Lloyd testified that he had been suspicious of the place kept by the accused for some time, and, knowing that Lunz had no license, decided to visit itand cail for drinks. He did this upon two occasions and was served with the de- sired liguor. The Marshal, upon these grounds, has been accused of being an ‘‘informer,” and it is said that it was not his place nor in keeping with the duties of his office to be a tempter. ‘. In defense of his position Lioyd says that it is no easy matter for an officer of the law to secure accurate and positive evidence against an illicit dealer or gambler, as he is usunally so well known that those who are conducting Sflnces of business contrary to the law are always on the lookout. In the case of Lenz the Marshal was an entire stranger to the liquor-dealer, and in consequence it was an easy matter to catch the offender in the act without resorting to a subrerfuge, Unconstitutional. General Waguer, who with W. E. 8ill has before the Town Trustees an applica- tion for a franchise for an electric railway between East and West Berkeley, claims that the new charter of Berkeley is uncon- stitutional in its provisions as to the grant- ing of street-railway franchises. Clause 12 of section 50 of the charter says that all ap- plications for street-railway franchises must be accompanied by a cash pond of $2000. The State law, which expressly states that franchises shall not be granted except in accordance with its provisions, contains no requirement of bonds, Died ot Yellow Fever. ‘Word has been received that Solomon Lopez, a former Berkeley student, died a few days ago in San Salvador, a victim of yellow fever.
