ALAMEDA, CAv,, Jan. 25.—Clark’s pot- terres at the West End are among the largest on the coast. The output has of late been sewer-pipe, and was fora time building terra cotta and to an extent fire- rick. Now the production of firebrick and terra cotta isto be increased, and to that end extensive aaditions, alterations and changes have been made. The build- ings already have an area of 300x140 feet, and have eight huge patent kilns. A.V, Clark, son'of the founder of the firm ana a Municipal Trustee of the city of Ala- meda, is the superintendent in charge. Milkmen Worried. ALAMEDA, Car.,, Jan. 25.—There is consternation in the ranks of the milkmen consequent upon the raid of the inspector, the investigation of acommittee of the Health Board and the publication of some names given b{ the inspector as of those who bad in their cans for delivery diluted milk when he swooped down upon them. There is such competition in the business in Alameda, and the public is so fastidious | in such matters, thav it is about as much as their business is worth to have such publicity given. This is the first time such facts were made public, though it is not the first time that irregularities were found or that dealers had warning of the inspector’s vigilance. Marriage Announced. ALAMEDA, Car., Jan. 25.—Invitations | have been issued for the wedding of Miss Marie Foard, daughter of Lorentz Foard, the San Francisco nhix;oh-ndler._ and Charles Edward Bain of Astoria, which is to take place at Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Thursday evening, February 6.

CRUSHED BY HIS VACHT, Capfain Moody of the Bonita Is Fatally Injured at Long Wharf. DOINGS OF A POLICEMAN. An Official Investigation Reveals a Strong Desire to Borrow Money and Drink Whisky. OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 25. W. C. Moody, son of the well-known banker, received injuries at Long wharf carly this morning that will probably | prove fatal. The injured man was crushed between the mast of his yacht and the pier, though how it happened nobody can tell, as the little colored boy who sails on the yacht with Moody did not come up on deck until the accident had occurrea. W C. Moody was the owner of the yacht, which is named the Bonita, and was one of the most expert sailors on the bay. For six years he has practically made the | Bonita his home, and the life suited his tastes admirably. The yacht had been lying off the Marin County shore, near San Quentin, and early this morning Mr. Moody and the colored boy, who made up the crew, put off for Oukland harbor. The wind died away, but the storm of last night left a heavy sea and so the anchor was dropped. Then the crew went below. About 8 o'clock Moody went on deck and saw that the yacht had dragged her anchor and wus bumping against Long wharf. A few minutes later, when the boy went on_deck he saw Moody clinging | to the mast in a dazed condition. He was bleeding about the head and could not hear or speak. The boy called some sail- ors to his assistance, and Moody was taken off the yachtand to the Receiving Hos- pital. ere he wrote his name and ad- dress on a piece of paper. and a few min- utes later his aged father was with him. The injured man had no boots on when he was found and had a blanket wrapped around him. It is supposed thet he went on deck to attempt to stop the bumping and that his head was caught between the swaying mast and the timbers of the wharf. This evening Mocdy was semi-conscious, but could not hear anything and could not speak of his accident. The physicians fear that the severe fracture at the base of | the skull will prove fatal, as it is accom- panied with hemorrhages. ARCHIHALD’S FUNERAL. DR. Enights Templar Pay the Last Honor to the Deceased. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 25.—A few simple rites of prayer were held over the remains | of the Iate F. A. Archibald at his residence, | 966 Eighteenth street, at 2 o’clock. Ser- vices were held on account of the body being taken East by a brother of deceased, J. C. Archibald of Troy, N.Y. The re- | mains were taken to Fredonia, N. Y., where | they will be placed in the family vault. The casket stood in the front parlor in a bank | of floral tribates. Across the casket lay | the sword and helmet of the Knights | Templar, of which he was a member—Qak | | Commandery. | Dr. Alired Kummer, Dr. E. 8. Chapman { and Dr. John Fearn of Oakland, and Dr. | E. R. Dille of San Francisco, all friends of Dr. Archibald, performed the last rites. Oakland Commandery attended in a body, but did not take charge of the services on account of the length of the service. Tele- | grams and messnfes of sympathy have | been pouring in from nlf parts of the United States, showing the wide friend- | ship that Dr. Archibald_enjoyed. The | family will probably go to New York to re- | side within a few months. | | WAYS OF A POLITICIAN. | Another Official Investigation Before the Commissioners. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 25.—The inquiry into the conduct of Officer Lamping was | commenced this morning before the Com- | missioners. Lamping had a decided pen- | chant for borrowing, but was very careless about paying back. In several instances | Lamping told his creditors that he needed | the money to help out his friend, Louis | Schaffer, the ex-Chief of Police. Nearly | every storexeeper on his beat is a creditor | of Lamping. The officer also had a great liking for whisky, and several bills for this article were handed in to-day. When he came on the force he owed $200, now he | | thinks $500 will square his debts. The inquiry was interesting, as nearly all the witnesses who were opposed to Lamping were favorableto McCloud, who | was tried two weeks ago, and those who are understood to be friendly to Louis | Schaffer, ex-Chief of Police, are testitying | against Lamping. There is a lot of evi- dence against the officer, and the case was continued to next Wedesday. ¥red Adams’ Suit. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 25—The suit of Fred Stuart Adams against the young woman whom he married secretly at Mar- tinez was commenced this morning. Adams asks, through his guardian, for the annulment of his marriage on the ground that he was under legal age at the time. The defense asked to dismiss the suit as the plaintiff was over 18, the age of con- sent, and is not entitled to sue by his uardian. The matter was argued at ength by Attorney Haynemann, who con- tended that there is no law, and has not been for 100 years, by which a married | person in sound mind is entitled to have a guardian appointed. The argument occu- vard, Princeton and Pennsylvania. Presi- dent Fitzgerald and Director Morrow of the ciub have obtained guarantees against any possible financial loss. HISTORY OF A DAY.

OAxLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CaLy,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 25. | James R. Farish, who resides at 269 Twelfth street, is congratulating himself to-day that he isalive. He went to the prison, and saw the young men who were arrested early this morning, and when he saw the amount of loaded guns that were taken from them he was certain that but for the warning of a confederate one of those bullets would have been in his anat- omy. *1 was going home early yesterday morn- ing,” sa:d Mr. Farish to-day, “and when at the corner of Tvelfth street I saw two suspicious-looking characters whom I am convinced were the men under arrest. They stopped when they saw me, and were preparing to come toward me when I raised my cane prepared to strike. I determined that I would not take any chances. I have been an old soldier, and have fought many battles, and I aid not intend to let a couple of footpads harm me.. Had I known that they were such walking arsen- als { might have thought differently. Just when I was expecting that I should haye use for my cane, there was a low whistle around the corner and immedialely the two footpads fled in different directions. Then & policeman came in sight and gave chase but it was too late.” Both of the would-be burglars were questioned to-day by the detectives, and young Turner admitted that they had gone out to try their apparatus upon a safe, but had not located it when Officer Ely espied them and took them into cus- tody. Clarence Turner and William Foun- tain cre the true names of the young men and they both belong to respectable fami- lies in San Francisco. They say they came down from Tacoma a few weeks ago and haa their safe-crackine outfit made at the Murasky carriage works, on Mission street, San Francisco. The apparatus they had for wrenching off safe combinations is one of the latess additions to the cracks- man’s kit. It was wrapped in a billhead, on which a plan of it had been drawn. It had never been used, and it is evident that the men had just started out on their safe-cracking career. No drills were found on them, and if they are associated with the recent attempts at safe-robbery, the third man, who escaped, must have carried them. The two men under arrest can onéy be tried for carrying burglar tools and con- pied nearly all the forenoon. The de- iendant’s counsel also argued on a motion to strike out certain portions of the com- plaint, and also on a demurrer. Mrs. Adams was not present, as she isin the East, but her husband was in court with | his elder brother. At the close of the ar- guments the case was continued for three weeks, At the Macdonough.

Officer Ely is receiving much praise for his capture, As each of the men carried two loadea revolvers it is thought they must be young at the business, or they would never have permitted themselves to be so easily caught.

The cases are set for next Friday and will be called on thatday, but it is likely that no one will appear to prosecute. Rodgers appears to have discovered that his warrants charging battery were a sort of boomerang. He still claims that his story of the affair is true; that he was as- saulted without provocation, and that his alleged assailants were intoxicated, but since receiving so much objectionable no- toriety bas somewhat abandoned his in- tentions to make a vigorous fight. The students who were charged with bat- tery by Rodgers areready to fight the case, and if it comes up in court some sensa- tional testimony may be expected. Berg Convicted. BERKELEY, CaL., Jan. 25.—A. Berg of the California Hotel was to-day tried on a charge of storing liquor without a license, The charge was one resulting from the raids made last October by Marshal Lloyd upon the many East Berkeley places where liguor was sold on the qulet. Berg demanded a jury trial, and a good deal of difficulty was experienced in se- curing jurors. After nearly four hours’ work both sides agréed to submit the case with seven jurors. The verdict was guilty, and Justice James named next Saturday as the day for sentence. Another similar charge is pending against Berg, a warrant against him having been sworn to by A. Christensen of West Berkeley.’ The accused denies that he has had nng intoxicants in_ his establishment since the time of the raid; and says that Christensen’s charge was brought through spite aroused by Berg’s vigorous efforts to collect a hotel bill from him.

It is an Oriental scene, a landscape with three figures, en- titled “The Captive.” It represents a beautiful girl from the mountains of Per- sia, ana the story told by the picture is that she has just been captured for the harem of the Sultan. She reclines on a lion’s skin, guarded by two young women of the harem, who seem by their expres- sion to be absorbed in deep study of the captive’s beauty.
