Tney are James Green, Sam Conyers and Leon Collins and they all live in the vi- cinity of the Webster-street bridge. Yesierday afternoon 8 rancher was driv- ing a balky horse on to the Alameda side of the drawbridge at Webster street. The animal got on the track and refused to go any further. A narrow-gange train was signaled, but the efforts of the driver and of several other people could notinduce | the horse to move. The driver got out, and as he did so the approaching train frightened the horse. Itran off, but in- stead of going on the bridge it ran along the trestle at the side. As soon as it had gone about fi'ty feet it | swerved and fell into the estuary. A few moments later it had kicked itself clear of | the cart and was swimming toward the Golden Gate. The three young men, who own a boat | on the estuary, got into it and started after the animal. The horse was a good many years in Alameda County. children survive him, one of them a local vhysician.

It wasa hard | task as horse and tide were against them, | but they stuck to their work, and when | they got near the shore a rope was thrown | and by its aid they managed to get the animal on the bank, Therancher told the bovs that if they fetched in his eart he would reward them bandsomely. The lads started out in the boat and half en hour later the cart and harness, not very much injured, were on | tie beach alongside the house, The owner succeeded, with the help of the boys, in hitchieg up, his team, after repairing the harness with string which they furnished. He then told Collins to | get in with him and he wouid go uptown | and get some money for them. They drove | off, and a little later, when a few blocks away, he made Coilins get out of the cart, | and the ungrateiul owner drove off. Now the boys bave deciared vengeance and gone to San Leandro, whe - they have aclew. They declare that they will take | the horse and cart they recovered or else will get salvage. A CALL TO ARMS.

Ives Esq., President Alameda Democratic Clyb—DEAR SIR: It is with much regret that 1 feel compelled to resign from the club of which you are the houored president, and I do so iter mature consideration, althaugh remain- ing loyael to the principles which in the past have cost the Democratic party so mauy struggles, and which have been the founda- tion of 1ts success with the plain peoole. But the hour has come whaen one who looks upon the financial question as the lesding issue of the day must define its position. 1am satisfied that the unlimited coinnge of silver &t the ratio of 16 to 1, or even 32 10 1, wou!d be an injury to the working ciasses, and would aad to the number of multi-millionaires at whose hands the Nation is now suffering. While the party mightand probably would be defeated on the question of tariff und in- come tax, it would be preferable to suffer deieat tI han to gain victory with the aid of fina gglery. The free coinage of silver, or paper or any commodiiy will nog prevent the gross extravagance whica we find in municipal, S.ate and National expendi- tures. These are some of our present troubles, I sincerely hope for & continuauce of the friendship I'have formed with members of the olub and that I may always adhere with them 10 the lofty principles inculcated by our great leader, Grover Clevelsnd. Faithfully yours, C. B. RUSSELL. Fusion between the Populists and Demo- crais is probable, as the former have started a Bryan silver club and ask the assistance of the latter. A. F.

Grocer Robbed, OAKLAND, CaL, August 22.—H, L, Conkiin of 1155 Washington street had $80 in coin taken from his safe Thursday while he was unloading some groceries in front of the store. He believes a man who represented himseil to be a drummer and was in the store at the time is the party who took it, but s0far no arrests have been made. young man who is well known for his achievements in the literary field and also for his admirable qualities as a manager, Under his management the footoall team of St. Mary’s College will without a doubt rank among the foremost in the athletic field. In speaking this afternoon of football prospects at the college, Manager Greeley said: ‘‘The record of those who have graduated from this institution is clear to all and therefore needs no comment, ‘Lheir brilliant career after leaving college is owing in a large degree to that physical and manly appearance, combined with a thorough knowledge, which they contract durnng their college days. *‘Realizing thisimportant truth, namely, that intellectual acquirements are helped and made pleasant by the physical pow- ers as well as intellectnal qualitiesythe stu. dents have organized a football m that promises to outstrip nn{ that have hith- erto appeared upon a college campus. The members are younz men of brain and muscle—two important factors in the line of football. To predict a great future for the football team for the coring season is but to voice the sentiments of every one who has seen them practice. The team is comparatively light, it 1s true, but what they lack in weight is made up in grit, speed and slacrity, and after all these are the chief factors of a good footbail team. As will be seen from the¢ list of names they all bail from the Golden Btate, with a few exceptions. “It may well be said of St. Mary’s foot- bail team, as it was said of her baseball team, that they hold the first rank amoug amateurs, The very name of St. Mary's has something magnetic about it that ma'es her students climb the hill of sci- ence and conquer in the field of sporis. Most of the sturdy candidates of the eleven need no introduction to the read- ersof THE OALL. McGuire, the center, is a muscular and weil-developed speci- men of humanity, weighing in condition 192 pounds, and is perfectly at home in the game. The guards, Sullivan snd But- ler, average 180 pounds, the former being an experienced player. Butler is com- paratively a new man, but he is rapidly developing nto one of the quickest play- ers in the eleven. ‘“*Cone of Montana and Hastings of San Francisco, the late tackler of the Mount Tamalpais sleven, are making a hard fight for the position of tackle, and they willin all probability make the team. Rattigan, who is well known about S8an Francisco for his all-round playing, will hold down right end. The position of left end will fall either to Mahoney of Carson City or Holmes of Vallejo. ““Behind the line the star material of the college may be found. McCartney of Napa, who has played frequently on the college team for the last two years, will don his canvas this season regularly and play fullback. He bucksthe ling splendidly and is & kingpin punter. As for quarter the team will either play Freiermuth of Watsonville or Solen of Redwood City. Both show considerahle cleverness in banaling the ball and in interference. *‘Capiain Mogan of San Francisco is an energetic young man whose eagle eye wilt not only detect an error in his opponent, but will find the goal under any difficulty. The other half is J, Daly, the- g’anht Vol’b tura boy. ‘““The team will possibly meet Stockton ard Banta Cruz on the gridiron this seas gon, and from present indications will be worthy representatives of their college and Oskiand. Santa Clara and Su. Marys will for the first time this vear probabl meet 1n & contest similar to Stanford ani Berkeley.” CLOSED WITH A CRUSH.

A great Congressional fusion scheme, hatehed by the various conference com- mittees and sub-committees and their ad- visers, was plunked into the meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee yesterday afternoon and formed the ghief topic of debate at various personal and cominittee meetings after a long executive session of the Democratic State Central Committee was ended. The new plan which various politi~ cal manipulators are trying to push throu h by the Democratic, Populist and and Silver parties is that the six‘Demo- cratic and the six Populist Congressional nominees which bave been made at regu- lar conventions representing the people of six of the seven distzicts shall all hand their resignations to an np%omled and a put-up joint committee of fifteen. This would leave the political situation nominally clear of Congressional nominations as far as the Democratic and Populist parties are concerned. Then tiis committee of fifteen, com- posed of six Democrats, six Populists and three ‘“‘silverites,” is to name one candi- date in each of the seven Congressional distriets, which all parties are to be bound to support. This is a unique and a before-unheard-of pll{ in American party politics, and it yields on the start forty promises of war, misunderstandings, personal bitterness and many revelations of the intrigu nd tricks of which political manipulators are caglble. 'welve men named by the people are to be ordered by a few bosses to step aside and let a small junta of politicians, con- trolled b‘y various influences, put un a Congressional ticket for the entire State of California, ‘When the Democratic State Central Committee met in the billiard-room of the California Hotel at nearly 3 o’clock, with Chairman Alford at the table, there was a fair attendance ana many proxies for the care of Secretary R.

It was from George 1. Marye, who like E. B. Pond and a host of other Indinf Democrats in the State, is unable to swallow Bryan, the Chicago anarchistic latform and the amalgamation with the opulists which the party leaders in this Btate are trying to effect in a way that will wve the Democrats the best of it. Mr. fhryo gave no explanations in his brief communication. Gavin McNab, who looks® after all smail ?l’wflcll political advantages that may be ying around loose, at once moved that the vacancy be filied by the election of John F. McGovern, secretary of the Junta general committee, who Mr, McNab said ‘was & popular business man and an active and loyal Democrat. He was elected and the Junta was further strengihened in the state Comuitiee. Secretary 1roy read the report of the committee on fusion, concerning presi- dential electors,which has been published, The report which announced the with- drawal og four Democratic and five Popus list electdrs was approved, on molion of Samuel Braunhart without a word of de. bate. Blight applause followed the vote. Then rose M. F. Tarpey, chairman of the fusion or conference committee, who said a few wor‘(!h, giving the key to the whote Democratic play. “In working out the detailaof the plan,’ said Mr. Tarpey, “the committee realized the importance of the work and did every- thing in its power to get ali that was pos- sivle for the Democratic party.” Mr. Tarpey spoke of the noble electoral candidates who bad resigned, and tben a resolution of thanks to them, read by Eugene N. Deuprey, was adopted with no signs of opposition or grudging. The reso- Iution contained *‘offered themseves as. a sacrifice’’ and “‘proves a permanent debt of gratitude,” and gave th-ir names as Frank D. Nichol of Stoekton, J. H.

Caminetti of the fusion committee, Congressman Maguire, who was present with four proxies; J. W. Mitchell of Los Angeles, Raleigh Barcar and others had had their say in favor of fusion wherever the Demoecratic party had gohghon of a show in the COongressional 8. ngrpay presented a further recommenda- tion of the joint conference committee, which involved in a general way a com- rlete plan of Congressional fusion. The oint conference committge had named a sub-committee of three, composed of A. Caminetti for the Demoerats, J. D. Dore of the Populists and W. P. Lawlor of the Silverites; to prepare a detailed plan, and Mr, Caminetti arrived on the scene from a meeting of this sub-committee, which had not completed anv detailed plan, which met again last night and which will re- Tt its plan at a meeting of the joint con- derence commitiee to be held next Tues- ay. However, Mr. Caminetti had much to say along with others on the broad plan of Congressional fusion at issue: This plan was that there be constituted a new joint fusion committee of fifteen, composed of six Democrats, six Populists and three 8il- verites, which should have large jurisdic- tion, powers and discretion. This com- mittee was to be empowered to require all the Democratic and Populist candidates for Congress to present to it their resigna- tions relimipary. Then tbis committee should proceed to agree upon one joint candidate in each district, naming either the existing Demo- cratic or Populist candidate or a new one, 1f any candidate should refuse to submit his resignation to this committee, aban- don his rights given him bx the peovle of his district or refuse to abide by the deci- sion of the committee, then that candidate is to be repudiated, as far as possibie, by the State authoritles of his party, con- demned as undenrflns of the support of the chy and the candidate agreed upon shall receive the moral support of the three parties, 3 This interesting proposition was dis- cussed at great length.
