THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1896. 11 ———— e HOW CORBETT SPENDS THE DAY, He Takes Breakfast With His Proud Father Every Morning, FOND OF STRAWBERRIES Sharkey Will Train a Little To-Day, and He May Attend Church. CORBETT WILL TAKE IT EASY. The Sunday Prozramme of the Pugilists Will Comprise a Little Work and Much Rest. The programme for James J. Corbett's day now has several regular features and a few variations. The regular things are training {o get into condition, and, strangely enough, strawberries. The vari- ations zre the amusements which he seeks in the evening. The champion takes breakfast with his father every morning. Both look forward to the daily meetings with much pleasure. It has been a long time since the world’s champion heavy-weight pugilist has sat in the grateful shade of the paternal roof- tree, especially since he won the honors that he now wears. Of course Corbett vere is very proud of Corbett fils, and he will have the best seat when “‘the boy” faces Sharkey in an attempt to put him out in four rounds before the National Athletic Club one week from next Wednes- day night. The champion’s daily training prac- tically begins with the morning meal in Hayes Valley, as it is down on the regular programme of exercises. George Green, otherwise known to fame as “Young Cor- bett,” one of his trainers, meets the cham- pion every morning about 8:30 at his hotel—the St. Nicholas. They take the car up Hayes street and a hearty meal is leisurely disposed of, interspersed with plenty of conversation. Grevn does not act as the audience at the morning meal, either. He is right in the middle of it, the same as Corbett. The champion is passionately fond of strawberries — strawberries and cream, strawberries and sugar or simply straw- berries alone. But he is not permitted to indulge his craving for the red and lus- cious fruit to the fil, because he is in training, and is being dieted and restricted to some extent in what be eats and drinks. To deceive this insatiable appetite for strawberries Corbett does not begin his breakfast with them. The cause is that if he started in on strawberries he is not likely to want or have room for anything eise, so the berries come last, and the end of the breakfast table is redolent of their fresh, sweet odor. It seems to permeate the steak or chops and eggs which come first and give them a sort of a strawberry flavor. Corbett is permitted coffee for breakfast. After the morning meal is overthey take the cars for the Olympic Athletic Club on Post street, where Corbett is'training. By that time it is likely to be 11 or 11:30 o’ciock, and after climbing into their trunks, for that is about all they wear, the champion and Green get leisurely down to work. They take it easy at first, but warm to considerable active work beiore the nastics are over. e exercise concludes about 2 o’clock. Then the champion takes a plunge in tue big salt-water tank, and after a good rub- down gets mto his clothes, takes his walking - stick and goes out into the crowaed streets. He spends the remainder | of the afternoon at his brother’s saloon chatting with friends, or takes g short ex- cursion to the Cliff House, or some other resort. In the evening he dines with Mrs. Cor- bett, He has pretty much what he likes for dinner. Later they 2o to a theater or some other place of amusement. The Cor- bett day cioses with a supper aiter the play, for midnight in a great city finds the champion pretty close to bed wuen he has the serious and somewhat uncertain busi- ness of a puilistic encounter before ‘m. Yesterday he went throu-h the u.ual bag-punching and meachine exercise before the usual number of interested spectators. Green says Corbett is limbering up and that he got around on his pins and worked with his arms in better style than he has done yet since he began to train. The ex- ercise was not very violent yesterday ow- ing to a little medicine which the cham- pion took. There is notbing alarming in the fact that he took a pill or two. The sparring was omitted yesterday. Scuffling around over the floor with “Young Corbett” took the place of it. This being Sunday the gymunasium will be the scene of a little exercising in the forenoon only. The afternoon will be spent in rest or pleasure. Corbett may o to church, but he had not decided yester- day what church he would attend. Thomas Sharkey attracts a bigger crowd of spectators daily while he is in tramn- ing from 1:30 to 4o'clock in the Acme Club in Oakland. The doors are kept Jooked and a guard stands at the head of the stairs, but they slip in somehow. Ex- pression of opinion among them is to the effeci that the sailor lad is physically well endowed for the serious contest that he has undertaken. 3sharkey is working hard and is deter- mined to get into the best possible siape if ailigent, conscientious training will do it. He kept a tow | handy yesterday to wipe away the great beads of perspiration. He played handbali and punched the bag with a vigor that excited the admiration of all beholders. He has a good left, and 1f be gets in on the champion with one of the right-hand drives or swings that stunned tie ball, the champion is likely to find himself groggy. That Sharkey is going to try to do just that thing there is no room to doubt. He is training not to run away, but to fight, and it is fighting that the sailor lad says he is going to do. He says that all Le wants is ope or two good cracks at the champion, and if he lands on the cham- pion’s body as he expects to Sharkey says it will be all over with Corvett. He raised his training somewhat yester- day by taking a small dumbbell in each band and striking out into the airatan imaginary foe. All the blows were directed slightly upward as though to strike a chin a little higher in the air than his own. He also took some dumbbell ex- ercige. Trainer McMath says Sharkey will likely attena church this morning. He will train about an hour in the f renoon. Trainer Naedham says Sharkey is get- ting into fine shape and that he is feeling fit to make a hard fight. WILL GET A PERMIT. The Occlidental Club Offers to Make a Generous Donation to Charity. The Judiciary Committee of the Board of SBupervisors decided on Friday to recom- mend that the Occidental Cluo be granted a permit for its exhibition, to take place on July 2, and that two more permits that were asked for be left to take their regular course through the board. Young Mitchell ugpeared asthe manager of the club and oifered to give $400 to charity and pay the $300 license for exhi- bitions if three permits were granted him. He agreed to increase the amount to be donated to charity in case the affairs are a financial success. The committee thought favorably of the affair scheduled for July 2, and instructed Mitchell to address the trustees of the Robinson bequest fund on the subject of the amount to be given to charity. A Challenge From Los Angeles. “Kid”” O'Brien of Los Angeles has sent to THE CALL a challenge to any 133-pound man in California to meet him ten or/ more rounds before any ciub which shall gang up & substantial purse, or for a side et. A PUBLIC PARK. The Mission Defense Union Wants the 01d Jewish Cemetery Purchased for That Purpose. The Mission Defense Union beld a meet- ing at its hall, corner oi Guerrero and Twenty-first streets, last evening, Judge Van Reynegom presiding in the absence of the president, John H. Grady. A communication was received from the Merchants’ Association asking that the union, in common with other clubs, ap- point two delegates to a convention to be held in the interests of the new City char- ter. The request was received with en- thusiasm and the Mission Defense Union pledged itself to work with all its power for the adoption of the charter. The mat- ter of the appointment of the delegates went over to the next meeting. A resolution was then adopted asking the Board of Supervisors to make an - appropriation ~for the purchase of & obuilding and lot, and also to take all necessary steps toward the establishing of a high school in. the | Mission. The chairman stated ttat there were many advanced pupils in their local- ity who could not travel across the City twice per day to attend the present High | Schools. It would be better, he said, to | establish a high school grade in the | Horace Mann school building, which is | sitnated in the Mission, than do without that much-needed educational depart- ment. The question of securing the old Jewish Cemetery lots for a public park was dis- cussed at the meeting, and it was resolved to bring the matter before the Board of Supervisors. It was thought that the two Jois could be purchased at a reasonable price, and there was no question thata public park should be given the Mission. The old cemetery tract was in a sheltered locality and was otherwise a fitting place for the purpose. The Mission Defense | Union 18 the largest and most progressive | improvement club in the City, possessing | a membership of over 800 influential | people. —_— | PAINTERS MAY STRIKE, The Employers Retaliate by Cutting Wages to $2 50 a Day. Programme of the Combine Divulged to the Men, Who Meet It Prompt y. The union painters of this City are likely | to have more trouble on their hands within | forty- eight hours, for present appearances indicate that there will be strikes ordered in several shops by noon to-morrow. A threatened reduction of wages is the | cause. Several months ago the Painters’ | Union ordered a general strike for a recog- | nition of the union and a minimum wage of §3 a day—of eight hours. After a hotly contested fight th-y practically won. Among the first to yield was J. St. Denis & Co. and he promised the union not to break his agreement to recognize the union’s demands without giving due notice. Last week he tola the officers of | the union that half a dozen boss painters had decided to reduce the wages to $2 50 a day, the change to take effect to- | morrow, Monday morning. | He said that in order to compete in busi- | | ness with these men he, too, would be obliged to make & similar cut. | The union held a special meeting lasl | evening and several members expressed | their appreciation of the fairness of St. Denis in his treatment of the union. After considerable discussion the union decided to stana by the union rules and not to submit to any reduction. A committee, consisting of J. W. Rose, J. Cokeley and J. Griffin, was appointed to make an investigation of the shops and | find in which reductions would be made. The first attempt to cut wages will re sult in a strike, and the men in every shop where the union rules are not"lived up to | will be ordered to walk out. | To what extent this trouble will go is difficuit at present to surmise. President Rose last evening stated that from what he could learn a number of the boss painters had formed a combination to cut their employes’ wages and had decided to push the thing through with a rush. 1t is the determination of the union to meet the rush by the counter-move—a strike. THE COMING TAK-LEVY, Real Estate Owners Anxious to Avert a Raid on Prop-' erty. The Grand Jury Will Consider the Subjsct To - Morrow Night. The Grand Jury’s determination to do everything within the range of its power to prevent the imposition of an increased tax levy is regarded with great favor by the taxpayers. Owners of real estate are especially anxious that some firm measure should be adopted av once to check municipal extravagance. At the special meeting of the jury next Monday evening many important com- munications on the subject will be sub- mitted. By that time the expert, Horace Dunn, may have a report to show definite- ly wher ein the proposed estimates are ex- | travagant. The fact is taken into account that the City must provide a large sum of money for recistration and election expenses. The law as it stands now requires many safeguards to protect the voters, and the exl;gnsa of niring clerks, roviding polling-booths, counting the ba?lotu ana making returns is not a small item. Itis thereiore essential to keep other allawences down to the limit of reasonable economy in order to provide means for the election without increasing the aggregate cost of local government over that of the present ear. : Members of the Grand Jury are con- yinced by statements coming to them from all classes of the community tha: the City cannot stand another high tax levy. Building enterprises contemplated must be abandoned it a tax raid is to come. Men who have shown a disposition to in- vest money are becoming alarmed at the rospect of a ruinous levy. Their fears ave been communicated to the Grand Jury, with the hope that something can be done to promote confidence in building and real estate circles. COLLIS' LATEST BIT OF FINESSE, Why the Transcontinental Rates Were Not Ad- vanced Last May. FUNDING BILL AT STAKE Sucfi a Course Would Have Seri- ously Affected Huntington’s Pet Measure. the opinion of those best informed that they will not be until Mr. Huntington gets his funding bill passed or the Government forecloses its mortgage on the Central Pa- cific Railroad. FOR BETTER STREETS. | The Draymen’s Union Inclined to Con- test the Special Boulevard Ordinance. The Draymen and Teamsters’ Union of San Francisco held an open meeting last evening to discuss the subject of pave- ments and boulevards. George E. Bow- ers, representing a patent block and as- phait pavement, spoke of the merits of the pavement and its qualities as a resist- ant to water and wear. The matter of boulevards now closed to heavy teaming by ordinance drew out several speakers. H. J. Jackson suggested that a test be made of the law which now prohibits teamsters and draymen from driving on Golden Gate and Van Ness avenues. He argued that the draymen pay as much in taxes to keep this thoroughfare in order, and should receive the benefit and have the same privileges as any other class of the community. b L. J. Welsh, formerly in the Street De- °| partment, stated that a test case 1sun- INSTRUCTIVE TRAFFIC HISTORY The Fine Italian Hand of the Aufo- crat of the Railroad Again in Evidence. Congress has adjourned and the funding bill is temporarily at least at rest. Andso long as this measure is undisturbed, so long will there be no advance in transcon- tinentgl freight rates. For this condition of affairs Collis P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pa- cific Company, is responsible, according to the views expressed by one of the most as- tute railroad men of this City. Huntington’s main and most weighty argument in advocacy of his funding scheme for the Central Pacific Railroad’s debt to the United States has been the un- profitable character of the property in- volved. With the Central Pacific paying dividends there would be no excuse for at- tempting to repudiate the obligations of that corporation. One of the well-known methods adopted by Huntington for curtailing the revenues of his first but not best beloved enterprise was the construction and operation of the Southern Pacific Railroad. But, as the gamin would phrase it, the public “got onto” his game. Then by means of his ever efficacious stalking-horse, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, a rate war with the Panama Railroad Company was pre- cipitated, though Mr. Huntingtop at all times sought to throw the responsibilities for the hostilities that followed for two years on t e other fellow. This conflict between the Panama-route carriers forced down rates, of course, on all transcontinental railroads, the Central Pacific included. Then Huntington came magnanimously to the front and under- took to ficht single-handed tne battles of the transcontinental railroads against the Panama route rate-disturbers with his powerful pet, the Southern Pacific Rail- road. This was to be accomplished by quoting lower rates over the Sunset route by 3314 per cent than what were quoted over tue other lines. By this adroit manipulation he not only gucceeded in diverting business from his Central Pacific line but from the other transcontinental roads as well, and at the | same time swelled the traffic and the reve- nue of his ever carefully nursed Sunset | route. Last December Huntington, as president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, signed a treaty of peace jointly with Mr. Simmons, president of the Panama Rail- road Comipany. The terms of this document were the same as had been offered by the Panama people for nearly two years, but Mr. Hun- tingion, while persistently declaring that the rate war via Panama was due to the Pacific Mail's rival, could not be induced to sign it. During this time he apparently could not see how rates could be kept from going up and the Central Pacific thereby con- verted into a paying proposition if he | signed the agreement. But during his absence in this City last winter the board of directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Qompany at New York were induced, bv a a clever representation of the situation made to them by Attorney Cromwell on behalf of the Panama Rail- road Company, to pass a resolution author- izing President Huntington to sign the agreement. ‘When Collis returned to New York there was consequently nothing left for him to do but attack his sign manual or repudi- ate his board of directors, and thereby virtually acknowledge that he was in favor of war—war with or without cause. At this time ne had his funding project under close consideration, and ue fully re- alized that a settlement of the troubles be- twern the isthmus route lines meant sn advance of rates all along the line from the isthmus on the south to the Canadian Pacific on the north—and danger to his funding scheme. It then became a problem with the auto- crat of the railroad world of how to keep rates downp without appearing to desire it and without taking an active part to ac- complish this end. As anticipated by the railroad and com- mercial world, it was not long after the signing of the Panama-Pacific Mail agree- ment before a meeting of ali the trans- continental lines was called for the pur- ose of reorganizing the Transcontinental I.l)'x'nme Aesociation. Organization was duly effected at New York and imme- diately foliowing that event a meeting w:s called of the general freight agents of the various lines interested for the pur- pose of revising and advancing transcon- tinental rates. Everything went along swimmingly. New schedules were arranged, approvec and printed and the daie was even approx- imately fixed when these new rates were to go into operation. Then came an un- expected announcement that the date for putting in these new schedules had been advanced, but before this latter date ar- rived came the startling news that action on the proposed new rates had been in- definitely postponed. There was a general dispersion of the railroad representatives to their respective homes, but, despite the most strenuous efforts made by the newspaper interview- ers the cause of the ‘‘indefinite postpone- ment’”’ remained a secret with the railroad people, and a mystery to the mercantiie world., Various conjectures were made, but nothing_that purported to be authentic was made public. Recently, however, it has been learned that the immediate cause of the advanced rates being “‘knocked out’’ was the reluctance of the representatives of the roads in the hands of receivers to enter into an alliance which contemplated the payment of asubsidy to the companies operating a competing route. And here is where the fine Italian hand of Collis P. Huntington is reputed to have een at work. So long as he felt that his funding bill had a chance to pass Con- gress he was not averse to matters shap- ing themselves so as to result in rates being advanced. But just about the time that these rates were to have been pro- mulgated and become effective he was made aware that the funding bill stood a poor chance of being adopted. Simultanecusly mysterious whisperings began among the various freight repre- sentatives of the risk that was being run by the representatives of roads in re- ceivers’ hands who made themselves parties to a subsidy compact. The leaven apparently operated just as it was de- signed to do by Mr. Huntington, who is given the credit for having surreptitiously cast it among his colleagzues, Hence rates were not advanced, and it is necessary, ss the law is null and void. The Supervisors cannot indulge in special legislation in favor of those who drive fancy teams. Ex-Supervisor D. Farnsworth suggested that a petition be presented to the Super- visors asking them to rescind the objec- tionable order. A. B. Maguire of the Coal-dealers’ Asso- ciation, in speaking of Folsom street, stated that it was not the intention to make 1t a boulevard. All the people want on that street is a good pavement, and they do not want to exclude any one from its use. X ‘W. R. Wheeler and E. Mohrig of the San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade stated that the association is not antagonistic to the draymen, but really desire their co- operation in securing good pavements. Upon a motion by Henry Jacobs a com- mittee of three was appointed to act with the Coal-dealers’ Association and the Cycle Board of Trade in the movement to secure TAYES MUST BE BEDUCED Strong Opinion of a Venerable Banker on Civic Extrava- gance. Rates of Interest May Not Be Changed Now, but Much Depends on the Tax Levy. The fact that Robert J. Tobin of the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society stated to THE CaLL Friday that rates of interest on savings bank deposits would likely be reduced on account of excessive taxation gave rise Lo considerable comment yester- day among taxpayers and people who had money saved in the banks, Mr. Tobin said: ‘‘The enormous tax levy is principally responsible for this re- duction. The poor man, the feilow who saves a few honest dollars by hard toil and sacrifice, is practically doubly taxed. Thne ilferers, however, have fixed the levy, Enowing that these people wonld be called on to bear the burdens, and they must per- force accept the situation graceiully. e added that, while his institution noped to be able to pay a 4 per cent dividend, the rate might be considerably less. In the other savings banksthe rate of interest will suffer no material change, if any, this term. The reason of this is the various bank managers look forward con- fidently to a substantial decréase in taxa- tion for the next fiscal year heginning on July 1. With such a prospect they have concluded to make no change in the rates of interest, boping io be able to make up in the latter half of the year for any de- ficiency 1n the first part in profits through the taxes. Lovell White, cashier of the San Fran- cisco Bavings Union, said that his bank would pay $3 60 on ordinary deposiis and $4 32 on term deposits. “*We witl make no reduction,” sad he, *‘for the current six months which ter- minate on the 30th inst. Our dividend is the same as it was last January. Thenext dividend, however, will be largely affected by the rate of taxation. We don’t antici- pate so high a rate of taxation as last vear; the rate will be dete rminedibefore we shall have again declared a div.dend. Taxation and also assessment are open qyestions, and they make it difficult to de- clare a dividend that would be jus: to all parties. “We assume now that there will be somewhat of a reduction in taxes. We be- lieve the people cannot stand thisexces- sive rate of taxation. If the savines-bank depositors want good rates of dividends they must control in some form taxation. I cannot prescribe the form, but submit to the public they must reduce the rate of taxation.” “What would be the effect of a continu- ance of the present tax of $225 per centum ?” ““It would have the effect of further re- ducing dividends, We hope, from so far as now appears, the present dividend of $3 60 and $4 32 can be maintained, as there is a probability of a reduction in taxes to $1 60 or $1 75 per centum.” w THE LITILE DETECTIVE" Grover’s Alcazar Produces One of Lotta’s Favorite Dramas. Grover's Alcazar has inaugurated the departure of commencing its new per- formances at the Saturday matinee instead of on the inevitable Monday night. This is a change for the better in many ways. For one reason it breaks the monotony of being compelled to attend the theater on a Monday if one wishes to witness an opening performance. The periormance yesterday was Lotta’s favorite comedy-drama, “The Littie De- tective,” with Amg Lee in the role which used to be played by the California actress. Miss Lee kept the audience on tie qui vive by her rapid changes of costume and character, all of which tended, as every one who is acquainted with the comedy is aware, to the unmasking of the villains and the triumph of the detective; who is on the trail. i In all her characters Miss Lee was'brigk and amusing and she managed to impart considerable variety to her acting in the five different aliases. As Fiorence Lang- ton, with a weakness for finding out peo- ple’s secrets, she was simply an enterpris- ing young \ndy. but the audience soon applauded the soubrette for her versatility as she evolved through the different dis- guises of Wilhelmina Schwinkompoodles from Gerwany; Mrs. Gammage, ‘an oid nurse; Harry Racket, a fast young man, and Barney O'Brien from the s of Bal- lyragged. Aiong the other characters in the cast, Frank Doaneand Clyde Hess were amusing as the adventurers who always ran in couples and cheated and robbel people ointly. Lorimer Jobnston was rather heav- ly weighted by the villainousrole of Barry Mylllinson, the adventurer who does not draw the line at murder. Miss Neliie Young was graceiul as Una Langton, the barounet’s daughter, and the rest of the cast helped, in a fairly satisfactory manner, to assist’ Miss Amy Lee in unraveling the tangled thread of villamy.

Gould and the Junta Will Be Supported by a Big Majority. BUCKLEY A RANK OUTSIDER. Delegates Arriving From the Interior Counties on Their Way to Sacra- mento Confirm the Situation. The early symptoms of the outset of Democracy toward Sacramento developed yesterday. Mendocino County’s entire delegation to the State Convention came to town on its way to the capital, and the leaders of the delegations from several other counties. Among these were: W. H. Alford of Tulare, L. P. Farmar of Sutter, L. D. Sproul of Butte, J. F. Coonan of Humboldt ana W, P. Andrews of Tehama. They will remain over until Monday for the most part and will be joined here to- day by many others, The run to Sacra- mento will be made in a rush to-morrow. All the indications to-day, on the eve of the assembling of the convention, point to a speedy transaction of the businessand an ad journment by Wednesday. Gould will be chairman. Despite all the declarations and predictions to the contrary, no man has risen up anywhere in the State to contest that honor with him. He will have votes enough at the assembling to elect him. The convention will be compelled to swallow whatever feeling it has in favor of gold, and will declare for silver in order to harmonize with the sentiments that it is expected the Chicago Convention will ex- press. It will declare also against woman's suf- frage. There will be a plank strongly de- nouncing the A. P. A. These three things a canvass of the delegates throughout the State has determined definitely. The change in the situation with re- gard to money that compels the sjlver plank will doubtless leave Barney Mur- phy and E. B. Poad out of the list of as- pirants for the delegateship-at-large to the Chicago convention. And by the same token Ste&hen M. White, James G. Maguire, W. W. Foote, Thomas Geary and J. V. Coleman will be candidates for that honor. The Junta is a solid factor in the con- vention. Itison the temporary roll, and the temporary officers will make its place certain on the permanent roll. The Junta is for Gould, Goald wi'l ap- point the committee on credentials, and the committee on credentials has to do with contests—and there you are. Gavin McNab smiles wearily when Mr. Buckley’s name is mentioned. *He nor his followers will fignre in the convention at all,”” he says. ‘He has never becn a figure in_the campaign despite all the hue and cry.”’ All the delegnfes in the City now from the interior are for Gould and the Junta, for silver (some of them under protest), and a majority of them against woman suffrage. Buckley's greatest showing of strength is in Alameda and Los Angeles counties. In Alameda Buckley claims to have 22 out of tie 35 Of these the most enthusiastic supporter of Buckley is the solitary col- ored delegate elected in the State. By a somewhat notable coincidence his name is Deanis. In Los Angeles the eiection was not held until yesterday, but it is- understcod that the anti-Junta element will have a large representation, as John W. Mitchell is against Gould and worked very hard in opposition to him. But neither Gould nor the Junta worry about that. At headquarters yesterday it was figured that of the 614 delegates com- gsosmg the convention Gould will have 1 votes for temporary chairman. This is as far as neard from. They ex- pect to have many more. Following is the schedule of interior counties as pre- pared: Amador—Seven for Gould and the Junta. Butte—Six for Gould and the Junta. Colusa—Seven for Gould and the Junta, N Contra Costa—Seven for Gould and unta. Del Norte—Two for Gould and the Junta. El Dorado—Five for Gould and the Junta. Fresno—Five for Gould and six for the Junta. Humboldt—Eight for Gould and the Junta. Kern—Five for Gould and the Junta. * Kings—Four for Goula and the Junta. Los Angeles has thirty-five delegates. The Gould men do not count on them, though they may receive some of them. Lake—Four for Gould and the Junta. Marin elects five delegates to-day. As the County Convention is known to be anti-Buck- ley, it is A)resumefl that the delegation will be for Gould and the Junta. Mendocino—Five for Gould und the Junta. Modoe—Three for Gould and the Junta. Merced—Five for Gould and the Junta. Plumas—Three for Gould and the Junta. San Bernardino—Eight for the Junta and a majority for Gould. & Sacramento — Seventeen for Gould and the unta. San Mateo’s delegation of seven stands five for Gouid and the Junta, but as the county adopted the unit rule all are counted iu the Gouia and Junta camps. 3 Santa Barbara—Four for Gould and the unta. Santa Clara—Twenty-two for the Junta and none for Gould. San Diego—Eight for Gould and the Junta. Shasta—Five for Gould and the Junta. Siskiyou—Seven for Gould and the Junta. Sonoma—Twelve for Gould and the Junta. Stanislaus—Elght for Gould and the Junta, Stockion—Fourteen out of 18 for Gould adn the Junta, though all are pledged for Gould. Sutter—Five for Gould and the Junte. Tulare—Ten for Gould and the Junta. Trinity<Three for Gould and the Junta. Ventura—Four out of 6 for the Junia and presumably for Gould. Yolo—Nine for Gould and the Junta. The Buckleyites claim to have. sixty votes, but, as opposed to such & majority, sixty is nil. Tt is stated as reasonably certain that the Fifth District will nominate Schellar of San Jose for Congress. the Seventh George L. Patton, and the First will re- nominate Geary. A CRAZY MAN’S RIDE. Peter Zimmerman of San Jose Takes a Trip Underneath an ¥lectric- Car. A man who says his name is Peter Zim- merman and that he is a cigar manufac- turer in San Jose is locked up in a padded cell in the Receiving Hospital till the police are able to make some inquiries about him. \ Between 9 and 10 o’clock last night bhe crawled underneath an electric-car at Holy Cross Cemetery unobserved by the motorman or gripman and rode into the City clinging to the brakes. Itis the first case on record thata man has beaten his way on an electric-car by riding on the brakes. At Thirteenth street and San Jose ave- the nue he was ovoserved by the conductor, who called the attention of Policeman Heapy to him. Heapy dragged him from underneath the car and he showed fight. After a sharp tussle Heapy succeeded i atting the handcuffs on him and rang or the patrol wagon. Zimmerman was taken to the Seven- teenth-street station, and to the questions of Lieutenant Burke he said he was worth $10,000,000 and that he had crawled under the car to search for more gold. As he was either insane or shamming, the lieutenant determined to send him to the hospital till something more could be learned about him. _At the hospital Zimmerman gave every sign of being insane. He kept yelling for Billy Bolden, and, on being asked who Billy was, he said he was a lawyer in San Jose, and he wanted him to get him out of the hospital. He said he drove into the City from San Jose on Friday, and put his rig in a stable on Valencia street, He pretended not to know anything about his experience underneath the elec- tric car, and insisted that he drove into the City. He is about 35 years of age. DEATH OF A PIONEER, Charles J. Wingerter, Who Set- tled Here in Early Days, Passes Away. Charles J. Wingerter, a pioneer of 1850, died on Friday night at 11 o’clock at his residence, 2714 Sacramento street. The immediate cause of his death was heart disease and the weakness of old age, he being at the time of his d-ath over 79 years of age. Eversince he had a severe attack of grip, two years ago, he had been gradually failing He had been coun- fined to his bed, however, only one week before his death. Charles J. Wingerter came to this State with his wife from New Orleans in 1850, and immediately engaged in the clothing business. In 1852 he built a_two-story building on Kearny street, and in 1865 erected another building on Kearny street which was the best building on the street. In 1858 he retired from active business, but since then has engaged extensively in real estate operations. At the time of his death he owned considerabie business and residence property in this City, and has also been engaged in the vineyard busi- ness at Los Angeles and farming at Hall- moon Bq{.'
