Waste and Miss Mary Ewing was quietly celebrated at the home of the bride’s stepfather, As- sistant United States Surveyor-General Thomas P. Harden, in Osakland at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Only the im- mediate relatives and a few intimate friends of the young couple were present. It was one of the prettiest weddings of tne season. The large parlor of the bride’s home had been prettily decorated by lov- ing hands. Flowers, trailing vines and green foliage had been woven info pretty effects and the whole room converted into a bower of beauty. The windows were darkened and the lighted lamps shed soft radience around the room. Rev. C. E. W. Smith of Alameda, for- merly pastor of the M. E. Church South in Chico and a warm friend of Mr. Waste and Miss Ewing, performed the ceremony. The groom, attended by his law partner, J. W. Stetson, as best man, awaited the briae’s coming. She entered the room, accompanied by her sister, Miss Katharine Ewing. The young people met in front of the minister and the words were spoken which joined them till death shall part. During the ceremony Miss Etta Shaver, a friend of the bride from girlnood, sang softly *‘Call Me Thine Own.” The bride wore a stylish traveling gown of blus cloth, trimmed with brown and set off with applique work and ribbon effect, pale-blue front, tight sleeves with short puff and empire skirt. She carried a bou- quet cf her favorite flowers, La France roses. Miss Catherine Ewing, the brides- maid, wore a gray mohair gown with green appligue and Dresden silk trim- ming, tight sleeves with short puff and empire skirt. She also carried a bouquet of France roses. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs, Waste received the congratu- lations of those present. A dainty iunebeon was served in the dining-room, where a merry balf hour sped by all too soon. The Helpbinstine - McIntoch family, from which Mr. Waste has descended, and the Harden family, to which Mrs. Waste Is related, are two of the oldest families of this State. They had much to do with the early his:o% of Colusa and Butte counties. Mrs, Waste is a Virginian girl, but resided since childbood in Colusa County until removing to Oakland three years ago. Mr. Waste is a graduate of the State University and Hastings Law Col- lege and is a member of the Alameda County Law Association. Mr. and Mrs. Waste left for Sacramento, where they will spend a few dnxs after which they will visit in Chico and Nortn- ern California for some time.

Waste. | Attorney Waste made an announcement | on his wedding day that somewhat startled his friends. He has been an active Democrat and has been a delegate to county conventions, but he stated to-day that he will hereafter wear a - [ McKinley button, as he cannot under- stand how an honest man can support the Bryan theory. : Suffragists To-Night.

ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept. 16.—The family ot Fred Wilds, 1124 Morton street, was thrown into a state of excitement early | last night by an attempted burglary. The prompt and courageous action of his daughter was undoubtedly the means of saving some of Mr. Wilds’ property. <1t was about 10 o’clock, and the family was about to retire for the night. A sus- picious noiss was heard about the pantry window, and Miss Wilds proceeded to in- vestigate. On entering the door she was confronted with a burly-looking man, who had raised the window and was about | to crawl in. The young miss threw the first article within reach at the fellow, and began crying lustily for her father. The intruder waited for uo second invitation, but left in all haste. Mr. Wilds did not see enough of the fellow to give the police a description, but he thinks he has the bravest little girl in Alameda. Her Children Returned to Her. ALAMEDA, CarL., Sept. 16.—Mrs. Al mira F. Watson was to-day awarded her children by Judge Ogden, who gave them to Dr. T. Carpenter to care for.

The Alert Boys’ Home. ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept.16.—The base- ball boys arrived home this morning after | an exciting trip south. Yesterday they played at Visalia and left at midnight.

Manager Hammond says one of the players at Los Angeles, where they were defeated, admitted to him that he was over 21 years of age, while in a will that was probated in 1888 another player was shown to be 20 in that year. He thinks his protest will give the Alerts the game. . Struck by a Horse.

Britton Springs a Surprise in Alameda Politics. REPUDIATES DEMOCRACY Good Times Cannot Return Un- less Home Industries Are Fostered. A CONVERT TO PROTECTION, A Self-Made Man Who Gives Plain Reasons Why He Was Led to Make a Change. OAxrAND Orrice 8AN FraNcisco Cu.!,,} 908 Broadway, Sept, 15, One of the biggest surprises in local po- litical circles was the announcement that John C. Britton, general manager of the Oakland Gas-Light and Heat Company, had consented to act as the third vice- ter astray when both were members of the choir of the First Christian Church in this city. When the father was informed of the matter he attempted to shoot Bennett in front of the City Hall, and later he met him on the train and made another at- tempt, and when disarmed Bennett, who bad fled at the first alarm, returned and fired at him. i For Malicious Defamation. _ OAXLAND, CAL, Sept. 16.—Jobn Doug- lass has filed a suit for $5000 damages against Mrs. Joseph McKenzie for mali- cious defamation of character.

Sturte- van and other worthy persons, falsely ana maliciously declared : “That man John M. Douglass is a thief and a robber and he will rob you, and you will find it out if you keep him in your empioy long enough. If you can send u respectable and honest man to my house to solicit orders I will trade with you. but will not trade witb you if you send Jokn . Donglass to my house, as he is dishon- est. John M. Douglass is dishonest, and he robbed, cheated, defranded and swin- dled me.” Donglass claims that on account of this statement he lost bis position and has sustained damage to the amount of the figures named. An Oplum Den. OAKLAND, Cir., Sept. 16.—Constable Quinlan has placed Charles Bernal in the County Jail, charged with vi-mn'g « place maintained for the purpose of seiling opium for smoking purposes. He was successful in taking his man when under the influence of the drug, and securing the whole outfit he was using.

Itis expected Bernal will give evidence which 'ufl lead to the proprietor’s conviction. Acmes’ New Home, OAKLAND, Car., Sept. 16.—Acme-Reli- ance Club officers have signed papers with Julius Abrahamson whereby he is to v JOHN C. BRITTON, General Manager of the Gas Company, Who, After Twenty-Five Years’ Experience, Says the Democracy Cannot Be Longer Entrusted With the Country’s Honor. William Willis, charged with battery uron John J. Kelly, was heard oy a ju? before Justice Sweasey this afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of “‘not guilty’’ and rec- ommended that the costs be taxed to the delendant. Keiiy worked for Willis up to August 22, when they had a falling out. On the 25th Kelly called for his grip and accuses Willis of striking him on the head and choking himknnexwani. He failed to make his case stick. . ©Old-Time Firemen. ALAMEDA, CaL., Sept, 16.—The twen- tieth anniversary of the Citizens’ Hook and Ladder Company 1, Alameda Fire Department, was celebrated to-night with a banquet in Blanding’s Hall. A number of the charter members of | the comvany were present, including three who still run to fires with the boys. All of the officers of the other com- panies were invited and most of, them re- sponded in person. Good cheer reigned supreme until a late hour, when the com- pany dispersed, wishing the ‘‘laddies” many days more for work. THE FIRST NEW FIRE HOUSE OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 16.—Plans were completed to-day for the construction of e on Sixth street, For several years the old engine-house has {'::::l';flb: z‘r ::::‘::’un in, but nothing has been done in the way of permanent im- provements. Mayor ing away money on of fritter- Davie proposed in his last annual message that instead repairs that permanent brick structures be erected cne at a time, His advice has been followed and the new building will be a model firehouse. Its cost will be about $8000 and the construction will * commence at once. president of the Republican National League of this city. Mr. Britton has al- ways been a sincere and conservative Democrat, Mr. Britton’s convictions are worthy of the greatest consideration, because he gives substantial reasons for them. He is a man of the people and has stead- ily worked his way to commercial promi- nence. He came to California when he was just a dozen years old and was neyer before the publicas an office-seeker except once, when he was put up for a School Di- Tector many years azo. Mr. Britton has always been strictly a man of business. Fora quarter of a cen- tury he has watched the progress of events with intelligence, and when asked to out- line his reasons for affiliating with the Republican party, he said: **‘Any one occupying the position which I do cannot do an act of this kind without being able to iive a good reason for it. In my opinion I have very good reasons for leaving Democracy at this time and going into the Republican ranks. I cannot allow myself to so far forget my training and education as to associate with a class of people who depreciate the honor of the | countiry, and this is what I consider the Democrats are doing. “The affiliating with men of the Yopu- listic element, such they are doing this year, is attended with great danger to personal liberty. This clap-trap which the Democrats give out with regard to the | tax on wealth and corporations has no foundation in truth. The wealth of the country can take better care of itsinter- ests than suchan element could. “‘By the wealth of the Nation I do not mean capital, but the laboring man with a small competence saved, that is what I call the wealth of a country. The element thet is the loudest in the demands for ‘frea eilver’ is not made of the men who have small bank accounts or owners of homes. “Ispeak from twenty-five years’ expe- rience when I say that the workingmen with some money saved are not the ones who are in the front rank of the 16 to 1 crowd. *‘But those are the ones who do not care to work, but who would rather sit around in the sand lots and exhaust themselves and their lungs in crying for the degrada- tion of the rich man. “The refusal of the Democrats to in- dorse Hill's’ proposition, offered in the Chicago convention, that nothing should affect tie debts of the Nation already in- curred, determined me, if there had been nothing else, to leave the ranks of the party. The honor of the country isat uu{n. and its obligations must not be im- paired. “The financial position of the United Btates is ngt one of entire independence, but it must look somewhat to foreign nations. The time has not come when this country can be independent in its indus- tries even. . ““There is no principle advanced by the Democratic party on the financial issue but that is dishonorable to the Nation, while on the other hand the Republican policy is practically a continuation of pros- perity. There is no coun that needs protection worse than the United Btates to-day. I belleve the country is safer in the hands of the Republicans "to-day than in any other.” Bennett’s Sentence. OAKLAND, CarL, Sept. 16.-Juds, Ogden will to-morrow sentence C. R. Bennett, ox-norctlv of the Societ; for the Buppression of Vice, to the peri- tentiary for shooting at George Gray on the Btrvyau\h-ltmt local tran after Gray bad shet twice at him. The matter started years ago when it is charged that Bennett led Gray’s daugh- | erect a suitable building at Thirteenth and Clay streets whnich the club is to lease for twenty years. The first ten years the rental is to be $175 a month and §225 the last ten years. The pians are not yet completed, but the building will probably comprise four stories and a basement. The first Hoor will be devoted to stores to be rented. The basement will be made into & swimmin - tank, while the third and fourth stories will be given up to the club, The building is to be ready for occupancy in ninety days. Suffrage at Haywards. OAKLAND, CAL.. Sept. 16.—Rev. Anna H. Shaw, the noted suffrage orator, will speak at the Elite Theater, in Haywards, Friday evering, September 18, under the auspices of the Eden Grange.

Suspicious Circumstances Regarding an Early Morning Blaze, OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 16.—The Chinese store at 1462 Seventh street was discoy- ered to be on fire about 2:30 o’clock this morning, but the biaze was quickly ex- tinguished. An investigation by Chiet Fair showed that coal oil had been freely spilied all over the sleeping quarters of the Chinese in the rear of the store. The bedding had been sprinkled with oil. This morning the Chinaman was ar- rested and the name of Ah Ott, but insisted that he was in San Francisco at the time of the fire and knew nothin about it. The place was found lomfi when the firemen arrived and, as there was no insurance, no motive can be dis- covered. Itisthought thatsome one else might have attempted to burn the place while the Chinaman was absent. He has been arrested before for conducting a lottery. B e MONEY MOVING. Oakland Workmen Received Cash To- Day for Racetrack Work, OAKLAND, CaL., Sept. 16.—The con- tractors at the Oakland Trotting Park paid off to-day, and over $10,000 in coin changed hands.

The gudon ‘work in day and night shifts, and are moving about 3000 cubic yards of earth in twenty- four hours, The new grand stand isabout completed, and work on the mile of single s and a twelve-section barn is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The concrete founda- tion for a $15,000 stable for Dan Burns is laid, and soon work will begin near by on a residence for him. Eftorts are being made to get everything in shape for the opening in October. CAT-AND-MOUSE. LOCAL POLITICS Each Half of a Comhbination Watching the Other Half. NO ONE IS CONFIDENT. Saturday’s Convention Cannot Fail of Being One of the Liveliest. EVIDENCE OF THE RAILROAD. Ex-Mayor Chapman Tells Why He Is Opposed to Senator Perkins’ Re-election. OAELAND Orrice SAX FrAxcIsco CALL.} 908 Broadway, Sept. 16. Doing volitics at present consists solely in preparing tickets for Saturday’s Republican primary. The task isa hard one, and is taxing severely the cunning and ability of the keenest and most ex- perienced politicians. Men who have never been on the same side in local poli- tics before now walk Broadway arm in arm, each congratulating himself on nav- ing converted the other, and this experi- ence is quite general. Many new features hLave cropped up since the Hilborn-Frick fight of a month ago, and prominent men who opposed each other are now in the same camp. Dr. Pardee and W. R. Davis were des- perate for Hilborn; R. Leckie, E. Nus- baumer and their friends were all earnest for Frick. Now they are all fighting for F. 8. Stratton for State Senator. W. H. Friend, who carried on_the notable con- test between the two Congressional com- mittecs until he secured recognition and was made president of the ‘‘reform committee,” was an active work- er with many of the men who are now for Stratton, while he at this time is reported as being out for Dr. Derrick, who is _Stratton’s only oppo- nent. The work of Friend, though praise- worthy in many respects and deserving of recognition, is considerably neutralized by his desire to be elected a Supervisor. Just how far his popularity of two months ago has suffered cannot be told till the primary ballots are counted. It has been reported. that Friend may not work ac- tively for the Supervisorship if he be vromised certain support for Mayor next | March, but in any event it is known he is after an office, and this has made great in- roads into the effectiveness of his reform work, Bailey, Johnstone and Pelouze, who wish to succeed themselves as Supervisors, have a hard fight on hand. They have all been accorded railroad influence in the st, and_although Pelonze voted to up- hold the Dalton assessment his conversion came too late to merit confidence. The candidates for Superior Judge are also in a delicate position. The real fight is Greene-Hall versus Langan-Hill. The men who were strong for Frick for Con- gressman are now for the Greene-Hall ticket and also for Bailey and Jobnstone for Supervisors. This being so, there is a suspicion that the railrosd is at work on the whole combination, and if this predic- tion be fulfilled betore Saturday it will materially help the Hill-Langan end of the fight. There is no possibility of any railroad support going to Hill, as he is one of the leading counsel who won the deci- sion for the city that takes the Oakland water front away from the corporation. As Davis is for Stratton and Greene ana Hall are making the most of their com- bination with Stratton also, it is evident that support for Stratton does not imply support for Hall and Greene, as W. R. Davis 1s certainly not opposing his own partner. At present the Hall-Greene-Straiton ticket is the most in evidence, and the Langan-Hill-Derrick ticket is the most quiet. Past experience has invariavly shown that the quiet ticket comes out on top, but there are enough new elements this time to keep even the shrewdest guessing. At the meeting of the Fourth Ward Re- publican Club last night ex-Mayor Chap- man made some remarks about Senator Perkins., He said: T am opposed to the re-election of a. United States Benator who says a free-trader should fo to Congress. Perkins is a good sort of ellow, but victions. What right has he to aiscredit the nominee of the Republican party? Perkins is & nerveless and timid man, and contrasts strangely with Morino, one of the marshals of Napoleon; he also was & timid man, but had the courage of his convictions. If George C. Perkins had a little of that man’s coursge, he should be re-elected. Ihave no personal ani- mosity against Senator Perkins, but every Re- publican should be loysl to the ty and not support a man who in this district is against the funding bill, but up in Grove L. Johnson's district is in favor of it. The ‘‘ree-trader’” to whom Mr. Chap- man alluded is‘evidently Congressman Maguire. G Benator Eli Denison next spoke and said he backed up Mr. Chapman’s expo- gition of Senator Perkins’ rpsltlfln, and would think it over deeply before he helped to make Perkins a Benator next winter. The Democrats are holding club pri- maries to-night for delegates to Saturday’s OomvenaS S e BARELY ESCAPED DEATH Fire and an Explosion at the House of James Fernan, Berkeley. . Graham Laws, a University Student, Is Among the Missing—News Notes. BERKELEY, CAL., Bept. 16,—James Fernan, a& well-borer living on Grant street, West Berkeley, narrowly escaped death by fire shortly before 2 o’clock this morning. Shortly after the fire had started, which soon enveloped his cabin, a terrific explosion took place which tore the side of the building completely out. ‘Where the explosive matter came from and how it happened to get into the house hn lhmylmyl:vhloh the occupant of the house is attempting to solve.

He had barely got outside the house when the explosion took place. Strange to say, the dynamite or other explosive had been placed under his bed. Fernan cannot account for the origin of the fire, and consequently the general supposition is that the expiosive had been placed under his bed and the house fired by an enemy bent on killing him. Fernan’s wounds, while serious, are not dangerous. He was burned about the bands, wrists, neck and back. He was re- moved to the County Hospital tnis after- noon for treatment. Feasted in the Woods. 1 BERKELEY, Cir., Sept. 18.—The co- eds of the freshman ciass at the State Uni- versity were given an open-air reception to-day by the young lady members of the junior class,” There was not enough room in any of the college buildings to accommodate the crowd, and so they took to the woods and held their feast under the eucalypti back of Ben Weed's amphitheater. About 300 young ladies, dressed 1n gay summer attire (for it was a ‘warm day) were on hand when the hour came for the opening of the festivities. | President Kellogg and Colone! Edwards were there and offered “toasts to the 00" The young college men were con- spicuous by their absence, with the excep- tion of Brick Morse’s mandolin club, which was called upon for several selections. After the dainty viands and ices had been several toasts were offered to the freshie co-eds. Miss Marian Whipple ’98 was toast-mistress. Short speeches were made after those of the president and Colonel Edwards by Captain Griswold of the co-ed basket-ball team, Miss Florence Mason, Miss Ia Mont, Miss Centennia Barto, Miss Aurelia Henry, Miss Ethei McClymonds and Miss Annie Laudstrom. Miss Lillian Moller responded in behalf of the fresh- men. A Berkeley Student Missing, BERKELEY, Car., Sept. 16.—Graham Laws, a student in the class of '98 at the State Uniyersity and a resident of Haw- thorne, Nev., is missing from Berkeley and his friends are ata loss to know his whereabouts. He stated on last Thursday that he in- tended leaving for his home in Nevada, and went as far as the Sixteenth-street depot in Qakland. He neither went home nor returned to his fellow fraternity men in Berkeley. Accordingly the greatest Graham Laws, the Missing Berk- eley Student. anxiety exists among the young man’s friends for tear he has met with foul play. Yesterday his mother, who had written to Berkeley to find out how her son was get- ting on at the university, and, raceiving uo reply, came down to find out what was the trouble. 1t appears that Laws has received $1000 from home since July 1 and that no ac- count has been rendered as to where it has one. An active search is being made to ocate the young college man and his money. Senior Class Election. BERKELEY, Carn, 8epi. 16.—The senior class at the State University held a lively meeting this afternoon and electea officers for the term.
