ALAMEDA, Car., Jan. 7.—Secretary Knowland of the Alameda Republican Club has received a letter which settles the status of the Republican State Executive Council sofar as Alameda Republicans are concerned. The propriety of sending a | delegation of three from the club to that body was questioned until it was ascer- tained whether the State ¢ ntral commit- tee approved of the organization.

The Police Commissioners will be asked to investigate at their next meeting a charge of ill-treating a prisoner preferred against Policeman John A. McGrath, who is on patrol-wagon duty at the Central Police station. Last night Policeman Dugan rang in for the wagon to go to Golden Gate avenue and Polk street. Dan Driscoll, who lives on Steiner street, was lying helplessly drunk on the sidewalk. He was taken in the wagon to the City Prison, and there Driscoll would not leave the wagon. Attorneys Comyns and Catteran were there at the time and they say McGrath dragged Driscoll out of the wagon by the heels. Driscoll clung with his hands to the brass raiing and McGrath drew his club and struck Driscoll several times over the knuckies with it till he let go. As soon as McGrath got him ont of the wagon Driscoll held back and McGrath threw him down, his head striking on the hard stone vavement. Then he took hold of his ear and lifted him to his feet. Two *“‘trusties” from the prison went to McGrath's assistance and they dragged him into the prison. Attorneys Comyns and Catteran reported to Desk Sergeant Shields what they ad_witnessed, and he sent Driscoll to the Receiving Hospital where a lacerated wound over his eye and another on his scalp were dressed. lle was then taken to the prison and registered “drunk.” Sergeant Shields reported to Captain Wittman the facts as related to him by Comyns and Catteran, and the captain will prefer charges against McGrath be- fore the Commissioners. McGrath denies he used a club or rough in his treatmant of ti.e prisoner. | was The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics re- | ports that during October the exports of merchandise from the United Siates amounted to $87,017,240, against $83.653,121 during October, 1304, The recent gzain of $3,264.119 shows that the export trade is now improving decidedly, | foreclosed during the year. HE WANTED MORE SILIRY, Trustee Meininger of Mount Eden Scores School Prin- -cipal Rowlands, RECALLS MANY UGLY THINGS. He Declares That The Teacher Is Not a Fit Person to Train Young Minds. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 2. § The trouble over the re-election of Pro- fessor Rowlands as principal of the Mount Eden public schoo! is not yet ended. Trustee H. Meininger decldtes that many of the statements made by the friends of 1 | | the teacher are false, and he also says that | the principal was guilty of many things that justified him in seeking his removal. Trustee Meininger saysthat the indigna- tion mass-meeting and the re-election | Sunday of Mr. Rowlands are a part of a conspiracy to ruin him politically. He also makes many grave charges against | Telative of Gene the principal. “The facts briefly and plainly stated,” said the trustee to-day, “‘are sufficient to | At times He is perfectly rational and there is nothing that would lead to the opinion that he is insane.

It is thoueht that there must be some search being prosecuted for him, as it is not con- idered possible that a man of his stand- ing could have dropped out of sight with- out being missed. Daring his examination hs makes sev- eral statements that show his mania of a religious nature. He declares he is the Christ, and informed Judge Greene that some one had taken his Bible away and made it into cigarette papers. At a'point where his conversation seemed to be per- fectly sane and he was explaining to the Judee where he received his education, he surprised everybody by suddenly recogniz- ing a man named Waters in the court room and declaring he was President Cleve- land. Judge Greene asked when he last saw the President, and Green replied tnat Waters looked much younger than when he called on Grover. "Although Green is much improved since he was arrested a week ago, he was declared to be insane and | was committed to Agnews. E. P. Stedman, who has resided iun this City for over ten years, was taken from his résidence yesterday on complaint of his daughter, Miss Birdie Stedman, who saia her father was acting queerly and his family could not control him.

The facts in the case are simply these, and the citizensof Mount Eden will bear me out: that Mr. Rowlands fought me and did_his best to defeat me at the last June election. Had he been frienaly, with no cause, and as he was at that time a guest at my house, | would he have opposed me? “The truth of the matter is that early last spring, and before the spring slection 1 discovered that he was derelict in many respects in his dut PETITION FOR THE BONDS, Berkeley’s Trustees Will Call Two Special Elections To-Night.

He requested me to raise his salary $10 a month, which I refused. All this is why he attempted to defeat me in the election. “Further investigation of the case devel- | oped the fact that Mr. Rowlands was in the habit of opening the envelope contain- ing the questions submitted by the County Board of Education several days prior to the date set. During last term, when the County Board of Education named a cer- tain Monday for the examination and for the breaking of the seal of the envelope containing the questions, Mr. Rowiands broke the seal the week before, and had the school begin examinations, and had the pupils date their papers ahead. This is & well-known fact, which he attempted to deny on several occasions, but which he | was forced to admit to the County Board of Education before whom he was ordered for investigation. The result was that the board refused to promote his classes for this ana other well-founded reasons.” FIGURES THAT TELLTALES Alameda County’s Business for the Year Compiled by the Clerk. A Great Desire Shown to Marry, but Not Such a Desire to Be Divorced. OARTAND OFFICE SAN FraNcrsco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 2. | County Clerk Jordan completed his tab- ulation of last year's business to-day, and it presents many interesting features. The Clerk now keeps a complete set of books, similar to those of a business house, and every branch of the county government’s expense can be seen ata glance. This is the first time such a system has been adopted in Alameda County, and people interested in economy have already dis- covered where there were many hitherto unknown lea During 1895 the number of marriage licenses issued wes 1180, and to offset this only 86 divorces were granted. Just twice that number applied fora legal separation, but one-half are either impending or have been denied. Damage suits to the number of 153 have been commenced, and in this connection it might be noted that the judgments have against railroads for death or injury than was ever known before, Eighty-two people have applied to be declared insolvent and sixty-nine attach- ments have been issued. The most rush- ing department of the civil courts has been 1n the foreclosure of liens and mortgages, 319 mortgages and 161 liens having been Forty-one cases of quieting title have been decided Appeals have been taken in fifty-nine cases. The most remarkable comparison that appears from the statistics is the relation of the number of convictions in criminal cases to the number of commitments of insane persons to asylums. Thirty-six people have been convicted of crime and seventy convicted of insanity. During the vear 167 persons have signified their inten- tion of becoming citizens and seventy-two | bave been naturalized. Owing to the edu- cational clause many people have been re- fused registration. Eight children have been legally adopted, two of whom were found on doorsteps. LEARNED MINDS WRECKED Nothing Known Regarding “Dr. Green,” Who Lost Himself in Oakland, A Relative of General Stedman Is Also Declared Insane and Sent to Agnews. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 2, | There is undoubtedly a mystery sur- rounding the identity of the insane man found in West Oakland Christmas eve and who is supposed to be Dr. E.J. Green, formerly of Jersey City. The examination of the man’s state of mind, conducted before Judge Greene this afternoon, made it very plain that he was been higher in cases | have nearly all been secured. The peti- tion will be presented to the Trustees at Friday nigit's meeting, when it is ex- | pected that an ordinance already pre- pared will be passed calling the elections, the date for which will be about the middle of February. Other matters to be considered by the Trustees are the application of John Casey for a saloon license and the ques- tion of Deputy Marshal Rawson’s elig bility to hold office in Berkele; Casey’s application for a license has aroused a good deal of opposition, and it is thought likely that he will be refused permission to conduct a saloon, record that will militate against him, he having been convicted and sentenced some time ago for selling intoxicants within the | mile limit.

BERKELEY, CAL., Jan. 2.—A petition is in circulation in Berkeley for the forma- tion of a city and county of Oakland. Those who are endeavoring to bring zbout the proposed division of Alameda County have done some canvassing among Berkeley, and citizens of Berkeley will probably be well represented at the meet. ing to be held Friday evening in the City Hall council chamber of Oakland. LATE SPORTING NEWS. Olympic Boxing Night—Expenses Are Cutting Into Mrs. Dempsey’s Coin. It is rumored that after the expenses shall bave been deducted from the money aceruing from a benefit recently tendered the wife and children of the late Jack Dempsey, there will remain something | like $800 to be given the widow. Treasurer Gilleran said yesterday that it would be some days before a full state- | ment could be given, as there were many people who had taken tickets who were not yet heard from. Gilleran did not seem at all pleased with how some of Dempsey’s alleged friends had acted in the way of assisting the widow. “‘There are those,” said Gilleran, “who previous to the benefit were seemingly un- tiring in their efforts to make the affaira | success, and who were actually the first people to present exorbitant bills after the show was over; but their names shall be published and Tull particulars given when everything is settled.” According to the New York Recorder the Maher and Fitzsimmons fight wiil take place February 14. It is safe to say, however, that the Recorder will find itself mistaken on the day. Neither of the pugi- lists mentioned has the least intention of fighting, but they thoroughly understand and appreciate the fact that the only sure way of getting cheap advertising in East- | ern papers is by hoodwinking the sporting fraternity and the sporting writers who seem to believe the statementsof those pugs who live and make money through being well advertised. If the papers would cease to notice those alleged champions some fighting and less talking would be done. The Olympic Club will give boxing en- tertainments quite frequently in the fu- ture. The next evening of fistic sport will be on the 9th inst., and some good sport is sure to be the result, as the boxers se- lected for this svecial night are considered first-class. Smith and Sullivan and Ray Bates are now in training, and they ex- pect to ke in excellent trim when the time arrives for partaking of fistic punches. Leader Short may possibly add another brace of boxers to the list, as two three- round bouts will be of very short duration, and it is doubtful if a large gathering will be present to see half-tinished fisticuifs. The Olympic boys are preparing already { for the prand vaudeville and athletic en- tertainment on the 20th inst., which will be held at the Columbia Theater. This will mark the thirty-sixth auniversary of the club. e e After the battle of Canae, Hannibal sent to the Carthaginian Senate three bushels of gold rings, taken from the fingers of suffering from irregular lapses of memory. | dead Roman knights. He hasa | MAY HAVE GOLDEN SANDS, Eastern Capitalists Planning to| Mine the Sacramento River. | | ASKING FOR BIG CONCESSIONS. Slickens and Debris to Be Thrown on the Levees and the Chan- nel Deepened. As the result of the recent visit of a St. Louis mining expert to this City a move- | | that has for years been clogging the | channel of the Sacramento River some of the millions in gold that are believed to have been deposited there during the past | forty years. A. Swartsweller spent some | time in Sacramento and at other points along the river and made an examination | | of the debris at the bottom of tie stream | as well as into the feasibility of extracting | it in sufficient quantities to make the | proposition pay. On his return to St. | Louis the report he rendered to the capi- | talists there was of such a nature they at | once decided that under certain conditions | the scheme would pay big dividends. A number of letters to capitalisis in this City asking them to take a hand in the | operations tell the nature of the plan. It is proposea to form a company with a working capital of $50,000 and build cer- tain appliances, the plans and models for w hich have already proved satisfaciory. Then the Legislature at its next meet- | ing 1s to pe asked to grant the company the right to mine the slickens in the bot- | tom of all or a portion of the Sacramento | in consideration that while taking out the debris the channel shall at the same time be improved by being deepened and the lands lying adjacent to the banks be protected | by having the levees raised to a height | much greater than they are at the present time. | From the description of the machine to | be used in extracting the debris and r claiming the gold it would appear that i resembles both in appearance and opera- tion the huge dredger which is now being use d to deepen Oakland Creek, and which for months past has daily been dumping | hundreds of tons of earth and sand bebina the training wall that forms the south bank of the waterway. The main difference will be that the | earth and sand brought up by the suction | pipes instead of being pumped directly | ashore will be dumped intoa Luge hopper, | where a secret process will remove the gold. Then anotner hopper with the suc- tion arrangement will take the dross wherever it is desired to fill depressions or raise the levees. The letters express an opinion that if the privileges are granted practically all the gold concealed beneath the waters can be recovered, and that the river will be improved to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars without | ihe slightest expense to the people of the | State. The time for beginning operations is set | for the coming summer, and in the mean- | time the local mining men, to whom the | Eastern men have applied, are asked to ascertain what can ve doneé in the Legis- | lature, and how much, if anything, they will have to pay the State for the privilege of mining the entire river. As the question of improving the channel for many miles above where the stream is | now navigable has been agitated oif late, and has been the subject of a special in- vestigation by the Congressional com- | mittee which recently, in comvany with Governor Budd, made a tour of the bay | and of the streams flowing into 1t, it is not anticipated that the company, if formed, wili have any difliculty 1n securing the desired concessions. | HOTEL ARRIVALS.
