The Council Takes Up Police Depart- ment and Street Matiers. OAKLAND, CarL., Jan. 6.—The Council the | beld an anti-Davie night this evening. | Chief of Police Lloyd sent a communica- subse- | tion saying that his prisoners were | suffering from the cold weather and could not get out of their beds in the daytime because of their not having clothes. The Chief said that that resolutions granting supplies had been passed by the Board of Works, and that the Mayor had neglected to sign them. In consequence the department was in a dilemma and was seriously im- | paired in its work. Chief Lloyd said that | he had tried to induce the Mayor to do his duty, but that official had been spending bis time in criticizing the Poiice Depart- ment in the newspapers and had neglected to attend to his duties. “Instead of signing the requisitions,” said Chief Lloyd, “the Mayor sends his man Kaufman “around to see if he consid- | ered such things necessary after I, as!Chief of the department, had decided that they were.” Chief Lloyd asked that the Coun- cil pass a resolution authorizing him to | obtain the supplies independent of the The resolution passed and its passage marked a new method of working independent of the Mayor’s office. This isthe first time any requisition has been thus ordered. Another lively argument was had over the lack of funds to pay the street laborers. | The Council refused to transfer any money from the general fund to the street fund, | and several speeches were made de- | nouncing the dollar-tax limitas being alto- | gether too emall to run the city govern- ment. As matters stand at present the laborers cannot be paid, and they have no | alternative but to file their warrants and, wait until May for their money. Councilman Brosnahan ereated a small sensation by introducing a resolution cail- | ing attention to the rivalry between the | city take advantage of it. He said that vrivate owners were getting water at big cuts below the rates fixed by the Council and that thousands of dollurs could be saved by the city seeking a like reduction. A resolution was passed authorizing the calling of bids to supply all the munit 1 buildings and schools. This is another new departure inaugurated to-night. e e - The Privy Council of Great Britain, though formerly possessed of great power, is chiefly employed at present in delibera- tions on affairs of sudden emergzency, on peace and war, and special provinces of the royal prerogative.

One cause of thisis his open-handed generosity. He lives with his father, a retired San Francisco jeweler, and gives away all the birds does not want for his own use. Eve in the valley is indebted to Frank for game and if it is proved that his record for the season is the highest a championship medal will be provided. As Alameda County boasts of hundreds of first-class hunters Mr. Hoefling will undoubtedly find many to contest tihe championship. Last Sunday H. Peterman of Mount Eden and Frank Hoefling shot over the Mount Eden marshes and brought home 227 birds. “There are places in the marshes,” said Frank to-day, ‘‘where there are fresh-water springs that are known to very few, and it | is on these spots that the birds are found in great numbers. The clubs that main- tain expensive shooting preserves in Sui- sun Bay and around Mare Island are only wasting their monev.

Mr. Bovard | Which Had a Local Ap- ! plication. He Referred to a Club Ladies’ Night in Terms Which Will Be Resented. ’ ALAMEDA, Gar., Jan. 6.—Rev. F.D. | Bovard has stirred Alameda up to an un- usual extent by a prelude to his sermon Sunday night on “Mantraps.” The man- trap which he spoke of was the fashion- able club, which he continually referred to in the plural, as though Alameda bad a multitude of them. As a matier of fact, Alameda has but one clab, and it is per- fectly well understood that his denuncia- tions were all leveled at that institution. Alameda’s single club is called El Nido jand has been in existence for two years, It has rooms in Masonic Block. There is a sidedboard where refreshments are served to members. There is also a billiard-table and several whist layours. Whist is the chief diversion of the members, who num- what .is led a *ladies’ night,” at which making was indulged in. Many ladies— two water companies and asking that the | Wives and friends of the members—were present, and everytihing was decorous, [t Mr. Bovard on his/ crusade. On New Year's day, while the steward was tempo- | rarily absent from the clubroom, the Rev, Mr. Bovard walked in and was found sur veying the premises when the steward re- turned. From that visit he was able to describe the “‘ouken furniture” with which to draw a picture of the interior of these resorts. There is no dther club in Alameda. The club idea has never thrived h-re, several sequently the shafts of denunciat on are understood to be leveled at the one that is now struggling against an uncongenial atmosphere, Rev.

FIRED WILDLY IN THE STREET. One Bullet Went Into a Store and the Other Nearly Killed the Suspect. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 6. § Officer Andrews shot and seriously wounded Tom Lamb, an ex-convict, about 11:30 to-day. The officer was on-duty at Thirteenth avenue, Bast Oakland, and when he reported at 11 o'clock by tele- phone to the police station he was tola to apprehend Lamb, as it was suspected that he ad been implicated in a hold-up east of the lake during the might. He weat out to the railroad track at Sixteenth avenue, where the man has spent considerable of his time recently. He met Lamb at that point, took him into custody and told him that he was wanted on suspicion of a felony. Lanb went with the officer to the Brooklyn engine-house and showed no signs of making any break. Andrews leit him seated while he went to the telephone to call up the patrol wagon. Just as the officer commenced to talk to the City Hall, Lamb bolted out of the door ana down i East Fourteenth street toward Thirteenth avenue. The officer had never taken his eye off the prisoner, and as he left the 1 door was after him. Andrews called to | Lambp to stop or he would shoot, but this only caused Lamb to hasten his gait to reach tihe corner so as to get beyond the reach of bullets. Lamb was_ just on the point of turning the corner into Thirteenth avenue when Officer Andrews drew his gun aund fired a shot, It struck the cement walk and glancing up went acro s the avenue through Liubernet's show-window and nar- rowly missed a young girl at a bargain counter. Lamb baving reached the corner in satety now dashed down the avenue in an at- tempt to reach sume shelter before the offi- cer rhould be able to get another shot at him. As he tore down the street he saw an atleyway about midway between East Four- teenth and East Twelith streets and turned into it Here he struck a fence which barred his progress, but as Andrews was in hot pursuit he made a break to go over it. Officer Andrews called to him Eo stop or he would shoot him in the leg. Lamb evi- dently believed that the first shot wasa sample of what the officer could do in shooting, and in reply to his command shouted back a curse at him. Andrewsis the crack shot of the Oakland force and it only took him an instant to fire. just as Lamb was drawing himself- up on the fence. The bullet took him in the fleshy part of the thigh, a short distance below the hip. Lamb calied out to the officer that he. would stop, and when Andrews reached him he surrendered and limped back to the engine-house, with the assistance of the officer, where Dr. Sill, who was near by, made a hurried examination of the in- jury. It was found that. the wound was i not bleedinz much, although Lamb com- plained of pains in the region of the stom- ach, causing a fear that the bullet may have penetrated the intestines. The doctor gave Lamb an injection of morphine, as he had been addicted to the use of the drug. Meanwhile Officer Andrews had called up the patrol and, with Officer Rand, re- moved the wounded man to the Receiving Hospitat. Dr. Hamlin set to work to lo- cate the ball. He probed for some time, bui was unable to find it. It was finally decided to allow the in- jured man to rest for a while, as he was suffering considerably from the wound. The ball may be located and removed to- mOrrow. Lamb remained conscious and was able to talk, but had little to say about the affair. He admitted that he bad “‘made a run for it” from the officer, but claimed that he aid not hear the call to stop. Lamb and three other feliows held up a couple out ow Uak street, near Lake Mer- ritt, in 1889.. The victims had lately come from Los Angeles, and while out in the sbadows of the trees the man was relieved of a watch and some money. All three of the men were caught, tried, convicted and sent to San Quentin for ten years. | Lamb was re- leased about a year ago on account of credits. Since then he has been arrested on a number of petit offenses. He is 27 years old, and his mother resides at 760 East Fourteenth street. It is the opinion of some people who saw the shooting that the ofiicer shot very wildly. The first shot went crashing throngh a shop window, through two glass cases, and finally landed near a yeung lady’s head. When the second shot was fired, it is said, the man was in a cul- de-sac, and could easily have been cap- tured. A MYSTERY DISPELLED, Oakland Gas, Light and Heating Company Bought That Stock.

The old board of directors, with the exception of Anson S. Blake, resigned. The new board elected was as follows: President, Joan A.

BERKELEY, Car., Jan. 6.—The salary of Deputy Marshal Rawson will be paid this month by a new kind of warrant on the Town Treasurer, as a retult of Georze Schmidt’'s injunction restraining the Treasurer from paying any money to Raw- son. The December warrants for voth of the Deputy Marshals were made payable to Marshal Lloyd—in the one case “for S. M. Ra n,"" and in the other “for C.T. Kearns.” It is noticeable that this method of paying the deputies is in accordance with the charter, and all warrants here- after for Deputy Marshals will.be made in | such form. Itis understood that Schmidt | will return to the attack and secure an in- | junction coyering the new condition of affuirs to prevent if possible Mr. Rawson from continuing in office. The New Postmaster. B RKELEY, CaL,, Jan. 6,—The report is current that ex-Congressman English will fayvor Dan Landregan for Fostmaster of Berkeley. In the ordinary course of events it is understood that Mr. Enghsh will be able to conirol the appointment, hence the several other candidates, of which there are at present six, are disposed to combine against Landregan, Up tothis tme Deputy Marshal Kerns has been looked upon as the choice of Mr. English, but Landregan has come to the front as the dark horse. Landregan conducts a liquor business in Qakland. He residesat Golden Gate and owns property in West Berkeley. A petitjon signed by a large number of citizens has been in circulation, asking President Cleveland for the reappoint- ment of John McCarthy, the present Post- master. Associated Charities Meeting.

Considering the sport obtained during the past autumn, it is surprising that falconry is not a much more popular pas- time. To some extent, no doubt, expense is in the way, but this need not neces- sarily be so very large as is often repre- sented. We know of some schooiboys wbo have had very great fun with birds of their own procuring, and whose pocket-money is rigidly limited. One has a merlin, which has been the death of many larks; another has a sparrow hawk, which has proved the bane of blackbirds; a third bas procured the most beautiful flights of all with a kestrel that serms to have quite overcome its native affection for mice, and has taken to tlying at all sorts of medium-sized fowl. No doubt the modern humanitarian may object on the ground of cruelty, but the common-sense point of view is in contrast with the gun, which not oniy is more de- structive, but dangerous as well. And hawking never results in the infliction of suffering, an infliction incidental to the marksmanship of young gunners. This consideration applies to adult as well as juvenile sportsmen. For instance, compare the bags made even by a most successful falconer and a dead shot. With a goshawk Mr. Boynton has killed since the middie of September 194 rabbits in thirty-four days. What gunner woula think of boasting about an average of six per diem? Even his best day—twenty-four | i twenty-four flights, though it argues luck and skill far past averaze attainment —would be a very trivial result of a few hours’ good shooting. The excellent sea- son’s bag recorded by Mr. Newail—forty six Larves, three rabbits and six miscell neous birds—would be trivial for even a weak gun. And every life taken with a falcon means far more amusement than is 40 be derived from merely pulling a trig- ger. Again, it may be pointed out that in i beron hawking many falconers rescue the | bird ere it is injured, and let it go, to en- joy the delight of a hard fight for life.— all Mall Gazette. .o THE STOCK MARKET. 2xy is one | Various | | means were resoried to by the delinga nt | and vehicle sold | Itis | have bern shipped o the Selby Smelting and Lead Company”’s « orks for reductio In the Lnion Consolidated level, the upraise 1620 fee shiatt'station is up 154 feet, the . on the 990-foor vest of the Union 0p being in quariz carrylnz Jow assays.
