CALL, 3 last | A spider bit him and blood poison- | NEITHER SUICIDE NOR DESERTION, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels Are United and Live Across the Bay. END OF A ROMANCE. The Landlady and Others Now Regret Their Leniency and Sympathy. PLAN A SURPRISE PARTY, Will Conzratulate the Danie'ses and In- cidentally Present a Few Bills With Requests to Pay. OAKLAND Orrice SaN Fraxcisco CALL,} 908 Broad way, Aug. 3L Mr. and Mrs. Daniels, late of Thirty- third street, have been located in San Francisco and a delegation of their old acquaintances in North Oasakland are arranging to give them a surprise party at the fashionable boarding-house where they are now residing. A few weeks ago Mr. Daniels disap- peared. He left his wife to go East, at least so she told her neighbors, and time passed away and nothing was heard of him. Although the Danielses lived in a comfortable furnished home near Tele- graph avenue and appeared to be very prosperous, their neightors learned with some surprise that when the husband de- parted he left his wife with just 80 centa, which of course was soon exhausted. The charitable neighbors sympathized *with the heartbroken wife and gave her food and looked after her health. So deeply was Mrs. Daniels affected when it was reported that her husband might have been taken suddenly ill that for a time she had to be watched night and day. One day Mrs. Daniels disappeared also, and her many sympathizers thought she bad gone and drowned herself and her sorrow in the cold waters of the bay. The next chapter was devoid of all sympathy. The lanalady appeared on the scene, and although she had been very sympa- thetic toward the deserted wife, the prac- tical side of her nature asserted itself and expressed very positive views which were based on the fact that the family with aristocratic prgtensions had, for quite a time, neglected to attend 1o the rent. Other matters of a similar nature had also been neglected, and several people regretted that they had met the man “who was associated with mines and stocks.” When the landlady inspected her de- serted house she found that her late tenants had not been any more careful than aristocratic people are generally and she would like to meet the Danielses and have asettlement for damages as well as rent. Now the discovery has been made that Mr. Daniels did not perish on his way | East, and Mrs. Daniels did nét court sur- cease from a broken heart off Goat Island, | but that both are enjoying life as much as ever in San Francisco. Their neighbors are not at all backward in expressing their views of the circum- stances and declare that they will at once advise the present landlord of the Danielses that their tenants are subject to disappear- ance and other little irregularities not un- common to some people that “‘are asso- ciated with mines and stocks.” SHOCKING DEPRAVITY. Ignorance, Filth and Crime Unearthed in the Tschich Family by Mrs. Prescott. OAKLAND, OaL., Aug. 31.—Mrs. Lydia A. Prescott was appointed to the guardian- ship of Emma and Frida Tschich, the two little girls of Mr. and Mrs. Julius. The parents have been parted for years, the mother living at 619 Broadway and the father conducting a locksmith’s business at 1403 Park avenue, Alameda. The girls are 13 and 11 years of age. The testimony showed that the children were kept in a most filthy place with dogs, and were diseased from contact with them . The oldest girl had been assailed by men long the wharf. Mr. and Mrs. Tschich met twenty years ago in New York and | lived together thirteen years without any form whatever, and there has never been any divorce grantea them, although Mrs, Techich appeared in court with an infant | a year old which she said was the child by Peter Otten, who formerly resided at 833 Magnolia street, but who is now dead. Tschich admitted to Judge Greene that he had $700 in bank and $1000 loaned out. N0 EMDCATS 4B LEFT Bryan and Sewall Ratification Ignored in Alameda County. Republicans Are Astir—Women Work. ing Quietly—Additions to the Fold. OARLAND OrricE SAN Francisco CALL, 905 Broadway, Aug. 31, } It William Bryan of Nebraska came to Oakland he would probably draw a crowd out of curjosity, but they certainly would not be Democrats, for so far none have been heard from since the Chicago circus, when Pilate’s instrument of torture was used with success as the key to a Presi- dential nomination. When are the Democrats of Alameda County going to ratify? is the question asked by everybody, but so far no one has been able to reply. There are a few Democrats left in the county, but they have not yet mustered up enough courage to ratify the Chicago platiorm and nominees, and so with the exception of one or two, who manage to keep to the front and would do so, no matter to what party they belonged, the voice of the Democrat is heard no more in the land. The party in this county is about equally divided between sound- money men and Populists. Nothing is being {;f: undone by the Re- publican party to win back for Alameda the banner that was carried to Los An- geles in sackcloth and ashes a couple of vears ago. Next Saturday night W. R. avies and Senator Perkins will go to Livermore to open the campaign there. The vice-presidents for the occasion are: H. H. Pitcher, Joseph McKown, Charles Hadsell, Wendell Jordan, H.

Thenames of the judges will not be announced until the three prize-winuers are named.

There was a burrying to and fro; exhibitors with goods jostled against mechanics at work, in their eagerness to deposit their bundles where they could be opened and arranged on tables or shelves to the best advantage. The superintend- ent, Mr. Gilmore, and his assistant, Mr. Clark, were surrounded all day long by interested parties, anxious to know about their rights. 3 A score of workmen were busy putting on the finjshing touches on the miniature exhibit of the Union works, placing the different imitations of workshops, ship- ways, executive buildings, railways and etorehiouses in the relative position they occupy in the great yard in tbe Potrero. In the annex in which this is located there will be a fine electric-light display, and the next most_attractive exhibit in the same_room will be that of the Dairy Union. 3 In machinery hall thereis a very large display of what California mills and foundries can turn out, and a great deal of the machinery will be in operation.
