PONER FOR FACTORIES, Electricity to Be Transmitted by ‘Overhead Wires to Santa Rosa. It Is. Thought Active Work on the Project Will Soon Be Under Way. nder way to supp with elec- | trit power by harnessing the streams of | g Sonétia County. Local capitalists have | recéntly examined the canyon near Healds- burg, which they think will solve the prob- Jem fof Santa Rosa. The canyon is forty feet higt ian River. A | It is water falling from a heigh be.sn cient fall by inserting a large flume | &t & certd e and making the fall per- | pendicular, instead of a gradual one, as at | resel to give a descent of the water fipon a series of turbines, or wheels, which in turhi will move the armature dynamos, | to .bé placed in a power-house near the | waterfall. The electricity thus generated will be transmitted over wires to this city and then utilized to run the electric lights, propel the streetcars and turn the wheels tories. plant it is estimated will generate | 00 to 5000 horsepower, and 1t is ex- | pected that with additional turbines and eanals running out of the initial dam at | Jenst 8000 Horsepower can be derived. The current will be sent to Santa Rosa | via: Healésburg and Windsor over ten | wirés, five beirig used at one time, and the | line will be duplicated in view of possible | accident. The safest way is to put the wires -underground, but at first they will | be ‘strung overhead along the highway | from Healdsbnrg to Santa Rosa. They will be made of copper a quarter of an inch | in dismeter, and at this end of the line the | current will be transformed into a power voltage; and then distributed about town by means of a switch among the various dynamos and motors that are to be used | for the different functions of power. Enthusiastic citizens here are declaring | that ih a short time Sonoma Tounty will | be the scene of prosperous factories run by | this new power so cheaply obtained from the hills. e KRIEGERB OF AMERICA.

There are already in the field a host of candidates for the principal offices in the gift of the council, Edward L. Sheehan and Samuel Haskins of this City and Jobn Lynch of Oakland having al- ready announced their candidacy for the office of grand president. Henry C. Hali, the well-known educator of Menlo Park, who is highly respected in his own com- . who has been prominent in institute affairs for many years, has been mentioned for the latter office. In order that the members of the insti- tute and their friends in this City and Ockland may have an opportunity of visi ing the Grand Counci}1 while it is i sion, the board of presidents of the City institutes has planned a grand excursion The large and commodious Southern Pa- cific steamer Newurk has been chartered to carry the visitors to Vallejo, and will leave the ferry foot of Market street about 9 o'clock A. M. A first-class band of music will accompany the excursionists, and everything possible will be done to make the affair enjoyable. The fare for the round trip has been placed at the low figure of 75 cents for adults and 50 cents for children. A bay excursion to Valilejo at this season of the year is most delight- ful, and as _the navy yard is to be thrown | open to visitors on ‘the day of the excur- sion and the Vallejo committee of arrange- ments will provide a varied entertain- ment for them, the excursion promises to be a great success. The board of presidents will meet this evening in Institute Hall, Tenth and Mar- ket streets, and requests the presence of all the City members of the iustitute who wish to aid them in perfecting arrange- ments for the excursion. ANIMALS BREAK LOOSE. An Elephant and Tigress Cause Con- sternation at Central Park. Jess, one of the elephantsin the circus at Central Park, broke loose about midnight and played havoc in the tent where the wild animals are kept. She got close to the cage of the tigress Virginia and the tigress tried to insert her claws in her hide. This roused the elephant to fury and she knocked over the cage. The door flew open and Virginia rushed out at the elephant, who turned tail and ran out of the tent. The elephant knocked down the fence on Mission street and made her way down- town, causing consternation among the pedestrians. She was followed by about fifty employes. She turned up Fourth street and on to Market street, and at Post and Kearny was brought to bay and taken back to the circus. The tigress was kept within the tent, and her trainer was hurriedly sent for. After nearly two hours’ work she s induced to enter the cage by large pieces of raw heart being placed within it. There was the wildest excitement around the circus, as for some time it was feared that she would make her escape from the tent. Stie moved round and round, roaring and lashing her tail, but strange to say never attempted to break through the canvas. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. lot on NE N187:6by George 0.

HE SHOT AT HIS BROTHER, George Van Pool, a Fireman, Has a Very Unpleasant Encounter. ONE BULLET IN HIS HAND. Crowds Attracted to the Fillmore House, Where the Shooting Took Place. George Van Pool, an extraman on en- i was shot by his brother, Lollie Van n the Fillmore House, 651 Broad- way, yesterday morning at about 11 o'clock. The bullet, which was intended for his heart, was misdirected, and fur- rowed its way through his left hand, lodg- ing finally in some woodwork. The wounded man is now in a doctor’s care at his room, 7, in the house where the shoot- ing occurred. The wound is not serious, and the brother was not arrested, although the entire neighborhood was aroused by the racket. Lollie Van Pool, the shooter, is a team- ster, and was very much under the influ- ence of liquor yesterday morning, in which condition he is said to be very touchy. About 10:30 o’clock, in this condition, he drove up with his team to the entrance of the Fillmore House, where his brother is rooming. In his company was a friend, whose name is not known, and together they ascended to the third floor to room 7, where George Van Pool resides. They had not been inside very long when a quarrel arose, George taking umbrage at his brother’s call while he was under the in- fluence of liquor. Words ran high, and in no time the occupant of the room had shown his brother and his friend to the door, telling them never to come back again while in liquor. Lollie and his friend descended the stairs and stood talking for a little while on the sidewalk, when the former decided that he would renew the call. George must have seen him re-enter the door, for when the | teamster was half-way up the stairs, his | brother was leaning over the bannister on the first landing, a hammer in his hand. Lollie stopped. i “I told you not to come up here again, | the way you are,”’ excluimed George Van Pool, “and you had better go.” He raised the hammer in his hand as he finished and the next instant his brother | had pulled a revolver and shot. The bul- let struck him in the left hand and as _he felt it plowing throngh the flesh and felt the blood spurt in his face, he dropped the hammer and ran for safety, mounting the next flight of stairs to escape the next bullet which he fully expected. The report from the revolver aroused the entire household. Landlord F. C. Keller ran out of his room and the upper hallway was instantly filled with shrieking women. They arrived just in time to see Lollie Van Pool, the smoking revolver still in his hand, turn on his heel and descend the stairs. He reached the sidewalk undis- turbed, mounted the seat of his wagon and drove off, apparently unmindful of the re- sult of hisshot. The wounded man, bleed'mg consider- ably, walked to his room, where hisin- uries were examined by a physician who ad been hastily summoned, while a crowd which had been attracted mounted to the first landing and gazed in awe at the big ap(lulches of blomf on the nearest white wall. Both brothers are well known in the City, and their noonday encounter will come as a surprise to all, as, beyond the ordinary brotherly spats, they were par- ticularly chumm; BIMETALLISTS MEET, Continued from First Page. metal that had saved the Government when it was tottering on the edge of finan- cial ruin. You see the results to-day. All the old hacks are falline in line and by the time the for the next Presidential election Ithink we can show that our protest has had its effect not only there but all over the United States of America.” Charles Mack, one of Nevada’s best- known legal lights, speaks of tbe issue with considerable thought: I believe the question is one of the most vital importance to the people of this country, not only to the miners, but all classes. There is at present a most pro- nounced scarcity of circulating medium, and it is apparent to every inhabitant. There was at one time a sufficient quantity Eugene Howell, Secretary of State of Nevada. [From @ photograph.] ~ of money to meet the wants of the popula- tion, but to-day it is insufficient to meet the wants of business. Tne population is increasing, and the circulating medium is proportiouately decreasing. This will be fatal in time, and the one thing that will save the country is the free coinage of silver at sixteen to one.” W. E. F. Deal in discussing the subjec remarked that he was a “life-long Demo- crat, he thought, but could not commend Cleveland’s financial policy. He has turned the money question over to the bondholders of New York, who are the agents of the foreien syndicates, and his refusal to recede from his policy sets an example of stubbornness unparalled in the history of American Presidents. Iam glad to see that a great many Democrats do not indorse his error. We simply call for the money of the constitution, and we merely echo the cry of the people.” Sam Davis, editor of the Carson Appeal, the organ that sounded the slogan, had very little to say. It was: *“The object- lesson of Cleveland selling bonds to Euro- pean syndicates through Wall-street agents, and the people of the United States buying them back at higher figures, ought to be sufficient material for a Presi- dential campaign. It is like the California people selling oranges to the people of New Jersey at forty centsa dozen and buy- ing them back at seventy. “America has suffered enough at the | hands of the moneyed interests, and we are weary of seeing the Goddess of Liberty being made the common strumpet of Wall street.” NO SILVER PARTY. Delegates Do Not Think the Time Ripe for It. George W. Baker, temvorary chairman of the convention, said he did not approve the formation of a separate silver party at this time. ‘“We are ready to join any party that will adopt the bimetallic standard,” said he; ‘‘but 1 do not think it would be wise to attempt the formation of a silver party. Our present work is to conyince the people of the fact that there is but one issue of any importance before them, and that the silver issue. The Democratic or the Republican party can have our votes and our influence if either of them will bind its candidates to carry out our wishes. We are for silver- first, last and all the time, and we expect to engraft our principles on one of the parties already in existence.” William Pardy, a San Francisco dele- gate, expressed himself as opposed to the formation of a new party at present. “We expect to engraft our principleson both the old parties before the next general election. Until we have failed to secure what we are after from either or both of them I am not in favor of forminga purely silver party. However, the silver ques- tion, I am convinced, will be the one great issue of the mnext political fight in this County, and I think the silver men can be depended upon to cast their votes for the candidates that are pledged to a bimetallic platform.” M. J. McDonaid of San Francisco is an- other of the many who oppose the forma- tion of a new party. *“Ido not believe we could form a new party that would develop strength enough to carry our platform to a successful issue in the short time that1s left us before the next Presidential elec- tion,” he said, ‘‘and therefore such an at- tempt, in my opinion, would be unwise. I think one of the main parties will carry our measures if we can convice one of them of the importance of the issue and our strength. That 1s our present work—to show the great and all-reaching importance of the silver question. Solve that and you solve the economic difficul- ties of to-day.” J. H. Tengman, chairman of the com- mittee on resolutions and author of “‘Sil- ver and 1ts Relations to Business Depres- sion,” was asked if in his opinion the con- vention would result in the formation of a silver party. “I do not,” he answered, “though such a thing might happen. As I understand the objects of this meeting we have come together for the purpose of arousing thought on this silver question and at the same time testing sentiment. Most of us do not see the necessity of a silver party until we know exactly what the old organ- izations are going to do. ““If this necessity arises we can jump into party organization in time to sweep the country. But unless driven out by hold- ing sentiments which we esteem higher than the ties of party we are all better where we have stood for years past. I think the majority of the delegates pres- ent hold this view. Onr object isto edu- cate and propagate and hold ourselves in readiness for the strugggle which is bound to come in whatever party attitude we may stand.” piE DT TO-DAY’S PROGRAMME.

HOW IT ORIGINATED. The Bimetalllc Movement In Cali- fornla Up to Date. The silver agitation in California took definite form when on the 20th of last June about seventy-five gentlemen met at the Palace Hotel for the purpose of making arrangements for the convention which convened yesterday. At this meeting an executive committee was appointed with George W. Baker as chairman and George P. Keeney as secre- tary. The membership was made up of the following gentlemen: Simeon Wenban, William Pardy, J. C. Green, Julian Sonntag, Augustus Waterman, Herman Zadig, Prentiss Selby, M. J. McDonald, Dr. W. L. Dickenson, General W. H. L. Barnes, Abra- ham Halsey, Thomas Eagar, Hon. Thomas J. Clunie, General A. E. Cochran, Alexander Majors, Major Marion Biggs, N. W. Spaulding, General Henry 1. Willey, W. C. Price, M. W. Belshaw, G. W. Grayson, J. J. Serivener, Hon. Charles N. Fox, Colonel Frank McLaughlin, R. Gug McClellan, William 8. Edwards, W. N. Miller, N. J. Brittan, Timothy Guy Phelps, Alvinza Hayward and Charles E. Lane. This committee at once formulated an address to the voters of California which grovided for a convention, the delegates to be selected as set forth in the following paragraph of the convention call: Each county in the State shell be entitled to be represented at said convention by five dele- gates at large and one delegate for each 500 votes or fraction thereof castin said county at the last general election. The only test required for a seat in said con- vention is that the delegate be an elector of the county which he claims to represent and is in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, with e%unl privileges at the mints of the United States and with equal functions as money, at the ratio of 16to1, without waiting for any international confer- ence or the concurrence of any foreign power. The delegates shall be elected in each county in such a manner as the friends of the cause in such county may determine, but as the bi- metallists belong to all existing political par- ties and are themselves without party organiza- tion, we recommend that mass-meetings of bimetallists be held throughout each county upon Saturday, August 3, 1895, for the pur- pose of selecting delegates to said convention, and that the chairman and secretary of the meeting issue a certificate to the delegates selected, which certificates will be accepted as credentials by the convention. The American Bimetallic League was or- ganized in Washington in 1892, and has at' the present time headquarters in Wash- ington, Nashville, Chicago and San Fran- cisco. TROUBLES OVER A CASK. A Cooper to Be Sued by Two Boatmen for Having Them Arrested. L. W. Ohlsen, the cooper who had Charles Love and Henry Johnson, the boatmen who rescued one of his barrels from the dangers of the briny deep on the 8th inst., arrested for petty larceny, will now have to face the courts in answerto a suit for heavy damages, alleging malicious prosecution, which will be filed to-day by Curtis Hillyer and B.G. Somers, attorneys- at-law, who have been retained by the mariners. Onthe evening of the 8th inst. Charles Love, one of the boatmen, had taken a car- penter off to the ship Cyrus Wakefield and was coming back when he sighted the bar- rel which %ms been the cause of all the trouble. He fastened a tow line on the cask and pulled for over an hour against the tide and wind and finally arrived at his landing, and. procuring the services of Johnson, the unwieldy object was hauled safe and sound upon the wharf. ‘When Ohlsen called for the barrel of PRI e b ROYAR Baking th':!:r which he is owner the boatmen demanded $2 salvage,which the cooper refused to pay. He offered the boatmen §1 50, but they he{d out for the other four bits. Then Ohlsen insisted that the barrel had been stolen from Mission street, so he swore out warrants in Judge Low’s court and had Officer Calahan arrest the able seamen, but after the situation had been explained to Judge Low the prisoners were released on their own recognizance. 5 v The largest gas engine in the world, ac- cording to the Revue Techniqne, is the 320 indicated horsepower complex engine, driving flour mills at Pantin, France, and taking its fuel supply from a special pro- ducer gas plant, forming part of the mill equipment. With regular City illuminat- ing gas the engine would be capabie of in- dicating about 450 horsepower, but even as it is, the load upon the engine is now not more than 280 indicated horsepower, rep- resenting actually 220 horsepower de- livered.
