The topog- of the county is generally hilly and nous, with some fertile stretches of valley land. The climate is healthful and delightful, and the productions in- clude nearly everything in the vegetable and mineral kingdoms. San Andreas, thé county seat, jeasantly located at an altitude of 1200 feet and is nine miles from the railroad at Valley Springs, over an easy grade. The populatiou is about 800. It has been rather a sleepy place for several years past, but there is a decided awakening now, and the revival in quartz-mining may bring back a semblance of the life and business that characterized its streets | in early days. The public buildings con- | sist of a courthouse and jail, hospital, two | churches, two school-buildings and a handsome new Hall of Records, built of | pressed brick and Calaveras marble. The county seat boasts of two weekly newspapers, both owned by young and enterprising men and both devoting them- | selves to advancing the material interests | of the county. The Calaveras Prospect | was started by C. W. Getchell in June, | 1881, and has become the most important | and influential paper in the county under his management. The office at present is | being enlarged and improved to meet i« | creasing demands, and all signs indicate a | great and growing prosperity. Associated | with Mr. Getchell is Charles Hay, formerly | of the Calaveras Chronicle—a rustling, all- | round newspaper man, who has con- tributed much to its recent success. Calaveras Citizen is in its twenty-fifth volume, and has recently been under the management of E. D. Beattie, who has im- proved it greatly and is rapidly increasing its circulation and infiluence. Special at- tention is being devoted to mining and county news in its columns and it is large- ly quoted from by the metropolitan press. professions are ably represented y Solinski and Reed & McSorley, attorneys, and by Drs. Simmons and Hol- land. P. H. Kean was elected Justice in 1877 and has served continuously since. He is also United States Commissioner and notary. Mr. Kean’s wife was the first white child born in the county, and their chila was named Calaveras, in commemo- ration of the fact. Edward Casey is also notary public, searcher of records and con- veyancer. The principal hotel at San Andreas is the Metropolitan, conducted by Sam E. Redmond and E. B. Moore, both old resi- dents, Mr. Redmond being a native ot the county. Nextin importance is the Amer- ican, owned by William and T. H. Jenkins. The Colombo Hotel.is patronized largely by Italians, of which race Calaveras County boasts a large number. There are three principal general mer- e stores, owned by Dasso & Dis- M. Whittock ana D. Cassinelli. tock is also Wells-Fargo's agent, baving filled that office since 1864, ~Mr. Whittock came to San Andreas in 1854 and has always been one of its most liberal and enterprising citizens. G.

Sheriff Thorn has the reputation of being | an absolutely fearless officer when in the | discharge of his duty, and few men would care to take the chances he hasfaced. The story is often told of his arrest of Sam Brown in 1855 to illustrate what is his “nerve.”” Brown was what m called “professional desperado,” with sev- enteen murders to his credit. Finally Brown killed three men and wounded a fourth, and escaped to a place called “‘the | island,” on O’Neil’s Creek. No one could | be found with pluck enough to follow him and attempt_his arrest, so word was sent | | for Thorn. Brown had a companion, and | the two were located in a cabin by Thorn. | Upon his advancing toward their cabin ’ they appeared at the doorway and covered | him with their revolvers, threatening in- stant death. The Sheriff advanced upon them without an instant’s hesitation and commanded them to surrender, and, to-his intense surgnsc, thev lowered their guns and allowed themselves to be taken pris- oners. Sam Brown gave as his reason for not shooting, afterward, that “it would be a pity to kill so braveaman.” The Sheriff has had many hairbreadth escapes, but none closer than this. John J.

He 1s a native son of the State and county, having been born at Mokelumne Hill.” Mr. Wesson is a mem- ber of the fire company, which seems to be | considered here an honor next to an | official position. Postmaster J. F. Treat has been a resi- dent of San Andreas since 1856. Mr. | Treat is secretary and manager of the | Table Mountain and San Andreas Water | Company, and is in a position to know the | capabilities and necessities of this region | as regards water supply. He is very de- | sirous of attracting the attention of capi- talists to the favorable opportunities here ing electric light and power. Mr. Treat | savs that with a coraparatively small out- | lay the water ests could be consoli- | dated, reservoirs constructed, and abun- dant water obtained the year round; that water could be bronght under high pres- sure into 8an Andreas, insuring immunity from disastrous fires and dispensing with the fire department; that electric light could be afforded at small cost; that power for mines could be afforded at a nominal cost; that the water supply for this grow- ing town could be increased and improved, and finally the surplus used to great ad- vantage irrigating the valley lands below. Among the institutions of San Andreas to which the citizens ‘“point with pride” is the volunteer fire company. Old “‘San Andreas” has been in use for thirty years and has saved the town fwo or three times and is still “‘as good as new” in the estima- tion of the boys. 1t can throw a stream to fabulous heights, and as the tallest build- ing in town is only two stories the most timid inbabitant sleeps in peace.

B e i COULD NOT PAY HIS FINE. | Plight of a Young Englishman Who Has | a Bank Deposit. | SANJOSE, Car., Oct. 12.—Henry Mar- | shall, a young Englishman, who is serv- ing a thirty days’ sentence in the County Jflle for battery upon J. ( Chapman, has $1200 on deposit in the Garden City Bank, | and yet when he was given the alterna- | tive of paying a fine of $30 or spending | thirty days in jail he was obliged to choose | the Jatter because he could find no one | who was willing to indorse his paper. Marshall, who was convicted under the name of George Stacy, is about 30 years of [uge. He has been in this State about a year. A few months ago Marshall received a legacy from England of about $1300. He deposited $1200 in the Garden City Bank and took a certificate of deposit for the | same. A few days after this, while seeing the sights on the Barbary Coast in San | Francisco, he was robbed ‘of what money | he had h him and this certificate of de- posit. The bank was notified of the loss, but refused to pay over the $1200 deposited unless an indemnifying bond was given. | This young Marshall could not give, and the matter at present stands in an un- | settled condition. e BORN IN THE FAR NORTH. A White Baby Comes Into ILife on Her~ schel Island. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 12.—Mrs. W. W. Brown of Mayfield has received a letter from her niece, Mrs. A. C. Sherman, wife of Captain Sherman of the steam-whaler Beluga, dated at Herschel Island, and which says Mrs. Sherman gave birth to a healthy girl baby on May 8. The baby is the first white child to be born so far north the exact latitude being 62 deg. 30 min. north and the longitude 138 deg. 52 min. west. At the christening over 300 sailors and officers were present and the whaling fleet in the harbor was decorated in honor of the occasion! —_— INSURANCE AGENTS ORGANIZE. A. K.

SAN JOSE, CAL., Oct. 12.—At a meeting of the insurance agents of this city yester- il day afternoon an organization was effected under the name of the Santa Clara County Insurance Association. A constitution and by-laws were adopted. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, A. K. Whit- ton; first vice-president, Guy H. Salisbury; second vice-president, W. E. Crossman; treasurer. Blanche Portal of thé Security Savings Bank; executive commitee—J. A. Hicks, S. N. Rucker, E. W, Clayton, F. C. Ensign, A. K. Whitton, C. F. Freitag and A. I. Moody. The office of secretary and surveyor was tendered to J. H. Richards, late of the Pacific Insurance Union, but, as he could not accept the position at once, the matter was referred to the executive committee. —_— VISITED BY CHEW SEE SIM. Mongols Entertain the Fice-Consul for the Si® Companies, SAN JOSE, Carn., Oct. 12.—Chew See Sim, Vice-Consul for the Chinese Six Com- panies at San Franciseo, accompanied by his valet and suite of servants, is in the city. Chew See Sim is stopping at the Sixth-street Chinatown, and that place has been cleaned and decorated in honor of the distinguished visitor. Accompanied by an interpreter, Vice-Consul _made the Todnes ot e public_buildings to-day and was much pleased with the way business was carried on. He has been visiting the different towns cf the State, and says his visit here is simply to note the condition of the sub- jects of the Six Companies. Chew See Sim returns to China next month, his term having expired and his successor been appointed. the e SAN JOSE-SARATOGA LINE. Business Men Resolve to Push the Pro. posed Electric Railroad. SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 12.—At a meeting of the board of directors of the Board of Trade last evening the proposad electric road to Saratoga was discussed at length. It was the opinion of the directors that the road should be pushed, as it weuld ulti- mately lead to the building of a network of electric railways in the valley. President Wooster appointed the follow- ing committee to assist in the promotion of the enterpris . F. Thompson, Philo Hersey, Frank Stock, Major Will A" Coul- ter, F. M. Farwell, H. M.

SAN JOSE, Cal., Oct. 12.—Andreas Gar- cia, an ex-baseball player of this city, was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriffs and Kennedy in a cabin in the hills of Cupertino and brought to this city and locked up on a charge of insanity. Garcia had driven a Mexican family from their cabin with a big knife and taken pos- session of it. Y ALLEGED. Receiver of the Blaine National Bank, Seattle, Files an Affidavit. SEATTLE, WasH., Oct. 12.—Lester W. David, receiver of the Blaine State Bank, who recently was compelled to surrender to E. W. Emmons, receiver of the Blaine Na- tional Bank, property alleged to belong to the latter institution, has filed an answer in the United States court alleging con- spitacy to loot the National Bank. For that purpose, he says, the State Bank was organized while the National Bank still preserved a corporate existence. H. W. Wheeler was president and E. R. Wheeler cashier of both institutions, and Receiver Davis cites transactionsin alleged futherance of the conspiracy, the practice of the Wheelers being to realize on the assets of the National Bank, deposit the money in the State Bank and then borrow it on their individual account, giving in return their own paper unsecured. SUPERVISORS UNDER FIRE. Civic Federation Acts in Regard to the Sunnyside Franchise. The Civic Federation has decided upon its first forma! step in the Sunnyside fran- chise matter, and on Monday it will ask the Grand Jury to make an investigation. A formal complaint will be made by letter to that body. For some time the legal talent enlisted by the federation in the cause of good government has been engaged in the work of looking up the law to see if there is any way by which the eight Supervisors who voted the franchise to the Market- street Railway Company could pe brought before the bar of justice. The names of these eight Supervisors are: Joseph King, Peter A. Scully, C. E. Benjamin, Alphonse Hirsch, Edward C. Hughes, Chris Dunker, Alfred W. Morgenstern, Edward L. Wag- ner. However, the federation believes now that it bas a clear course, and when it met in President Truman’s office yesterday afternoon and haa disposed of some pre- liminary matters of membership and or- ganization it coneluded to address a formal letter to the Grand Jury. To Attorney Maurice S. Woodhams has been entrusted the duty of formulatin, this document and carrying on the legal prosecution. The letter has already been prepared, and only awaits a final revision on Monday, when it is to be sent to the Grand Jury. It quotes the act of March, 1893, govern- ing the selling of franchises and the adver- tising for bids, and justifies the federation’s course by pointed reference to the codes. Nothing is omitted, and the place, time and manner of every act of these eight Supervisors leading up to the consumma- tion of granting the Sunnyside franchise is carefully noted. The advertisement by which competition was barred is copied and made to stand in striking contrast next to a copy of the pro- visions of the act of March, 1893, covering that point. Then every vote on everys| question incidental to the granting of the franchise to the Market-street Railway Company is given seriatifn. It charges the eight Supervisors plainly with malfeasance, but does not go any further because of the difficulty in pros- pect of obtaining proof of willful corrup- tion. It was a pretly well attended meeting which decided upon this course and it re- mained in session for about two hours. The Sunnyside franchise engaged its at- tention to the almost entire exclusion of all other matters. ————— AHEAD OF THE MAILS. «The Call’”’ Delivered in Alameda County by Bicycle. In its accustomed display of energy THE CawLr, has once more, in a quiet way, with- out flpurish of trumpets, outdone its com- petitors in placing ‘Tuz CALL upon the breakfast-table of its patrons in towns where it has never before been feasible or accessible in advance of the regular mails or express trains. There was consfderable enthusiasm man- ifestea among the citizens in the different towns upon the line of THE CaLL's special bicycle route, under the management of Rutherford Ralph of Centerville, Alameda County, Saturday morning, when he made his initial trip from Haywards upon the arrival of the papers on the early electric car, through to Mission San Jose, a dis- tance of twenty-one miles, in about one hour, actual running time. He carried with him several hundred papers upon which the ink was hardly dr when they were delivered by young Ralpl to readers who had never heretofore been able to get a San Francisco morning paper until between the hoursof 10 and 12 o’clock midday. ‘ In the language of the lg{)uciauva patrons at Alvarado, Decoto, Niles, Cen- terville, Irving“sa I3d Mission San Jose THE QALL is 7AW tha Nading paper of the coast and /3T’ 812 guore over its com- petitors.

Suit Will Be Filed Monday to Estop the Council From Acting. PRESENT SUPPLY SUFFICIENT. The Delay Caused by Litigation Will Not Give the City Any Distress. SBANTA ROSA, Car., Oct. 12.—The terms of the contract made on September 28 last between the city of Santa Rosa and Robert Tffey for the construction of a system of water works were made known to-day. Immediately upon receipt of the informa- tion the Taxpayers’ Protective Union gave legal notice that injunction proceedings will be instituted to set aside the contract on the ground of fraud and illegality. The notice wasserved upon Robert Effey, Mayor ‘Woodward, the Common Council, P. B. Perkins and city officials. It was decided later in the day thatthe suit will be filed on Monday next. The terms of the contract are being generally discussed, the consideration, $161,000, be- ing thought an exorbitant figure for the work. The contract calls for the comple- tion of the work within eight months, pro- viding for delays which might be caused by suits that might be instituted or by other causes beyond the control of the con- tractor. Judge Overton, banker and large real- estate owner, has had estimates on the proposed work to be done in erecting a new system of waterfworks and ,the esti- mates are from $40,000 to $50,000 less than the contract price made with Robert Effey. The citizens who will seek the injunction are anxious to know who makes this margin of profit. Thislitigation will delay matters considerably. The expense of the past litigation has alresdy cost the city a large sum and it is the opinion of some of the citizens that good judgment would dictate that the matter be settled under the law rather than personal feeling or prejudice, which has been rampant ever sincz the new water works question has been sprung on this community. 3 The city Council is quite confident that there will be sufficient water obtained by the pumping system in the tract they have selected for the city’s supply, but there area number of citizens who know the country well, who say there are certain geological conditions which preclude the 1dea of a permanent water supply from the sinking of wells. Santa Rosa is not situated, they say, in a valley; it is located on the slope of a round depression inclosed by high mountains with a circle of lower foothills. The streams and underground flow ot water fall naturally into the de- pression or lowest point of this basin, at, or near the mouth of the laguna, some miles from San‘a Rosa. Thedip of theland is toward the northwest, and the tract selected by the city is on the southeast of town. But really the city will not suifer for water even if the delay caused by litiga- There is an abundance of water now that flows from a mountain catchment into open res- ervoirs from which it is distributed by gravity throughout the city. When the present Council was elected two years ago there was some ground of complaint be- cause of an inadequate supply of water, and because the Mayor and Council were elected on a pledge of gettinga good sup- ply, they feel bound to promote the present speculation for the erection of new water works, which when erected will lack one essential thing to make it a complete suc- cess—namely an ample Water supply. The Mayor and Council may have looked into the bowels of the earth, but none | of them are Willing to make affidavit that they saw a bigger or better supply than the one that now obtains. The County Supervisors tried to find water to supply the courthouse when built. Three other attempts to find water have been made. All were absolute failures. It was then an experiment and is still an experiment, to which the largest taxpayers are opposed, because they are expected to pay for it. Santa Rosa is growing rapidly and in- terested citizens say it is well to consider the necessity for an increased wa‘er sup- ply. They think the city ought to own its ownp water works, but unless the city buys the present water works they ask where shall it obtain its own water supply. The pumping business has been and it is be- lieved must prove a failure. After the works shall have been erected and pipes laid where is the water to come from? . e EXORBITANT MILEAGE BILLS, Sonoma County’s Sheriff Has His Fees Disallowed. SANTA ROSA, Carn, Oct. 12.—The County Supervisors refused to aliow the criminal mileage bills of Sheriff Allen for September. The bills amounted to $189, and the refusal of the board to allow the bill was based on an opinion from District Attorney Seawell. District Attorney Seawell communicated with Attorney-General Fitzgerald and adopted that official’s opinion. It 1sthat that portion of section 169 of the county government act of 1893 providing that the Sheriff shall receive certain mileage, towit, 20 cents & mile as compensation in crim- inal cases, etc., is repealed by the fee bill of 189%. “Therefore,” says the District Attorney, “if the Sheriff is entitled to mileage atall it must be gauged by the fee bill, which is general in its application. Theclaims pre- sented do not conform to the act of 1895. A matter of so greatimportance ought to be judicially determined.’ SR Santa Rosa’s Progress. SANTA ROSA, CAL., Oct. 12.—No city in the State of anything like its population has made the advancement this year that has been made by Santa Rosa. Whileother places have grumbled a good deal about hard times and & lack of progress Banta Rosa has kept right along improving her sidewalks and streets, building new stores, dwellings, churches and schoolhouses, Visitors have noticed this, and they have said that if Santa Rosa can progress so satisfactorily during those times, then ‘when the better times recur it will surely outdo its neighbors. They are right, and Santa Rosa people who are alive know they are right. They have more confidence than ever, and when the good times come again will be in the front rank of the pro- cession of enterprise and prosperity. | NEW TO-DAY. Rosenthal's NEW TO-DAY.

INTERESTING LETTER. STOCKTON, Car., May 1, 1895, Dr. A. T. BANDEN—DEar Sre: I will now write you a complete history of my case in my own way. I would consider it very ungrateful in me not to speak of the merits of your grand invention. When I bought the belt from you I did not promise myself much success, as I had very little faith in it. But it didn’t take long to satisfy me. In two weeks I was convinced of the great benefit I would receive from it, My trouble was like a great many other’s. 1 was broken down with debility. My mind was depressed and my thoughis dark. I hated company, as I was always confused and could not collect my thoughts. I could not sleep more than half the night, and woke up in the morn- ing tired and weary. My whole body was weak and relaxed ; in fact, I was seemingly on the road to ruin, when I saw something your strongest power, and I will never re- gret it. I can only say that it was a lucky day for me when I got it, and I thank God Iam to-day a different man—in possession of power and energy in the highest degree. I can sleep sound and feel strong and fresh every morning. Iam now a strong man, and wish that every man who is weak would try Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. ‘With hearty thanks for what you' have done for me, remain, ur _grateful patient. CHARLES B. KUCHLER. 38 North Sutter street. ¢/CUPID AND PSYCHE.” DR. SANDEN’S ELECTRIC BELT. Men who have wasted the sprightly energy of youth in ex- cesses and fast living—men who have lost that mental ambition which belongs to vigorous and well-kept manhood at any age; in short, men who have, by early habits and mistakes, and the later excesses and dissipations, weakened the foundation of sexual and mental vigor, and who are, while still young in years, wasted in the vital forces, short in memory and dull in intellect, with the physical being shaky and devoid of endurance; to men who have spent the best of their lives in misery from wasted man- hood, failing vitality and the absence of every element of their natural being that goes to make life a pleasure ; to all men who are not what they should be in the perfection of manhood—this letter should be a guiding star. It leads the erring® one to a safe and sure road to health—to the perfection of a strong and vigor- ous manhood. - Book, “Three Classes of Men,” with full information, free, at office or by mail gealed.
