Judge Greene and Sam Al?. ‘Hall Selected for Superior Judges. ALAMEDA, CaL. Sept. 21 — When nominations were declared to be in order, A. R. Porter of Eden Township took the floor and nominated W. Lair Hill of Berkeley. W. H. Chickering nominated Judge Greene as, ‘‘a man from Maine, who will help Alameda County to follow Maine's example.” P. M. Fisher presented the name of 8. P. Hall, and Socrates Huff nominated Ste- phen G. Nye. A. J. M. Young made a very patriotic speech in favor of G. W. Langan of Liver- more, and G. H. Payne of Alameda named Judge Hant. Tue tirst ballot stood: Hall 138, Langan 47, Hunt 43, Greene 14, Nye 2. Chairman Farnum announced Hail's nomination. The next batlot stood: Greene 162, Nye 1, Hunt 40, Langan 45.

They went back without it, as the city, with Alameda, had made & splendid or- ganization on behaif of Judge Greene and Bam P. Hall, and it proved invincible. This defeat, however, was manfully shoul- , and when the motion was made to make the nominations unsnimous no one cheered more lustily than Murray Town- ship, which had put up a strong fight for its f-vorile. George W. Langan. The most bitter struggle was over the affirmation of Charles Mautalen as com- mitteeman from the Sixth Ward. Several yotes were taken before the matter was finally settled, as the couvention was sbout equally divided as to the indorse- ment of the chairman of the Céunty Com- mittee. Quite & point wasscored by the Alameda delegation by the insertion of the tidal canal plank’ in the platform. This will cause much discussion later on, and the commaunications to the War Department on the subject will be greauy augmented. A very attractive aelefnlon of ladies oc- cupied seats in the galleries and cheered gayly when the suffrage plank was resd. ;h- Alameda committee had provided a band to fill in the recexses and the young ladies of the Methodist church across the street provided a dainty lunch. They never catered to & hungrier or more distin- uished vparty, and that Alameda church as certainly earned the record of being able to give a meal for the benefit of the Leathen that was of equal benefit to a pol- incian. Eariy in the day Judge J.J. Allen an- nousced his witbdrawal from the Judge- ship fight and decided to make an attempt to succeed himself as Justice of the Peace. gl THE CONVENTION. E.

Resolved, That this convention favors the proposed sixth amendment to the State con- stitution as indorsed by the last Republican State Convention conferring the right of suf- frage upon all citizens irrespective of sex.

Made a Wor'd-Renowned Target Shoot at San Bruno Station Thirty Years Ago. OAKLAND, Car., Sept. 2L.—Dr. E. H. Pardee died at his homs late to-night. The immediate cause of death was exbaustion, consequent upon amw operation that was imperative, though for several months he bas been an invalid and has been gradu- ally growing worse since the 1st of last May. Dr. G. C. Pardee was in attendance upon his father all day with Dr. Rucker, but at 10:30 he breathed his last. The late Dr. Enoch Homer Pardee was one of the very best-known pioneers of the State. He was born in Rochester, N. Y., on April 1, 1827, and was therefore 67 years of age at the tirme of his deach. His father was French and his mother German. His parents moved to Michigan when he was but 7 years of age. When 15 years old he was seized with a disease of the eyes known as Egyptian ophealmia, and after consulting the chief medioal skill of the principal BABY a'couueu_ TAKES Lunch ATTHE CHURCH Brooklyn Township, J.

Mautalen been chairman of the County Committee for the past two g:ns and has been generally criticized. veral votes failed togive him a majority and there was a lively scene till Senator Ear! took the floor. He said that the Sixth Wurd had named their man and as several other members of the old committee had been affirmed who bad made the same mistakes Mau- talen had made he did not think it was just to single out one man. Senator arl's speech turned the convention to Mautalen, and he was confirmed. This was the most fiercely contested point in the convention. ————— BY DISTRICTS.

Stetson. v Eastern cities in vain, he was finally cured by a Dr. Bigelow of Detroit, who had himself been blind for ten yvears. After recovering his sizht he entered upon acourse of study with Dr. Bigelow and obtained the secret of his treatment. Then he entered Ann Arbor College in Michigan and took a regular course of lec- tures in medicine. He came to Califurnia in 1849 in the sieamer Panams and landed in San Diego. He arrived in San Fran- cisco the 6th of January, 1850. He went to Marysville and turned auc- tioneer, receiving as payment an “ounce” aday, He went to the mines and worked successfullv, and on the4th of July follow- ing had $7000 on hana, the resuit of hard work and perseverance. The vreaking out of the chelera that year gave him abun- dant employment at his profession, but he caught the malignant infection and -came near dying. BSoon getting disgusted with life in the mines he returned to San Francisco about Februarv, 1851, with a capital of $12,000 to $15,000. TLe doctor after some doubt as to whether he should return Hast or remain in California opened an office in Brenham pluce, on the plaza, in San Francisco, where he continued to practice medicine and treat diseases of the eye until burned out. His next office was at 737 Clay street, where, he continued to treat pa- tients successfully for twenty years, IlI hesalth caused him after a time to confine his practice altogether to diseases of the eye and ear. Patients flocked to him from all parts of the Pacific Coast, and he would frequently have from 80 to 140 patients a day visit his office. Half of his patients, at times, would have to be treated gratuitously. In 1365 Dr. Pardee returned to the Middle States apd gradu- ated at the Rush Medical College in Chi- cago. Aftertwo years he returned to San Francisco. His first visit to Oakland was in 1852, where he hunted quail and rabbits, and was edified with the spectacle of bull and bear fights on Twelfth street. The doctor came over to livein 1867, and has been a steadfast and prominent Oaklander ever since, holding various public positions and offices of trust. In 1869 he waselected to the City Council, and was re-eleoted in 1870, 1871, 1872, and in 1876 was placed in tne hornorable position of Mayor of the city. 'lrh- doctor was alwaysan ardent Repub- lican in politics, having attended the very first meeting of that party organized San Francisco. In O nd he was, from the first, a leading man in the councils of his party, and was elected to the Legis- lature as jomt Assemblyman with Mr. Crane in 1872, serving with credit to him- self and satisfaction to his constituents. There was no more popuiar member in the iouse to which he belonged, his genia! manners and fund of anecdotes, as well as his practical ability, having made him a general favorite. Several important local measures were passed through his exertions, and he re- ceived an ovation from his fellow-citizens on his return home at the conclusion of his arduous legislative labors. He has been a successful ness man as well as professional man. Minin: stocks had charms for him as well as others, and he was generally successful in his vent Dr. Pardee was also. distinguished a marksman, having made shooting a hobby nearly all his life. In 1866 he made his best score. He shot with Warren Land at 8an Bruno station for $1000, mak- ing in 100 successive shots 131 inches, aistance from shot to center of bullseye— the best target known to the world. The demand upon him for fac-similes of that targét was 8o great that he them lithographed, and thay have been sent to all parts of the world. Dr. Pardee was married in 1855 to a young lady of his own name in San Fran- cisco. In 185 %nis only.son and child, Dr. George C. Pardee, ex-Mayor of Oaklang, was born. His wife died in 1870, and he has been since a widower. There are few more elegant homes in Oakland than that of the late Dr. H. Pardee, on the corner of Eleventh and Castro sreets. For the past 1wo years Dr. E. H. Pardee has led a retired life and has not taken an active part in Polmu. bt he practiced as an oculist until a couple of years ago. BOLLANL'S STORY.

Ben- nett, the ex-secretary oi the Society for the Suppression of Vice, was to<day sen- tenced by Judge Ogden to serve one year in San Quentin. The Judge, before im- posing sentence, asked Bennett if he had anything to say, The ex-secretary made & short speech, stating that he had been convicted by perjury and prejudice. The court said in reviewing the evidence that prejudice had helped to convict the prisoner, and that he had felt itsinfluence, but had acted fairly, and now nothing was left but to impose the penalty of ‘ the law, Judge Ogzden said in concluding, that the crime merited only the minimum penalty, and ordered that Bennett serve one year in the State’seprison. s THE LEDIES MAKE MONEY Furnish an Excellent Dinner Much to the Discomfort of Others. Freight Charges Hold a Cir of Fur- niture—A Good Building Record. ALAMEDA, CaAv., Sept. 21.—The restau- rant proprietors are anvthing but pleased at the resuit of the convention to-day, as far as they are concerned. They sub- scribed liberally to the fund for the ar- rangements of the gathering and expected to gather a rich harvest in feeding the hundreds who came to the city. How- ever, in this they counted without their host, for the ladies of the Park-street Methodist Episcopal Church opened the doors of that edifice, with beautiful young ladies to wait npon their tables, and as a result captured the major portion of the vast assemblege. E. A. Randlett, who worked so hard for the success of the gathering, said: 1 will have all of the restaurants well advertised, but nothing shall be said of the church dinner, for they have not contributed a cent toward our expenses.” Central Committeeman F. J. Fletter was more forcible than polite in his condemna- tion of the ladies' work. Some of those af- fected threatenéd to have the ladies rested to-morrow, bug they have no f of any such groceadinl The church will realize about $125 from the ladigs’ efforts, which will go a good ways toward many needed improvements in contemplation. A Carload of Furniture. ALAMEDA, CaL, Sept. 21.—A carload of furniture is at the depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad awaiting some one to pay $142 freight bill in excess of an agreed rice made last May., At that time A. J. E{unrw & Co. contracted with an Eastern nouse for the furniture for September de- livery with a contract which provided that the freight should be no more at the time of delivery than when the order was given. Whan the goods arrived recently aclaim for $142 in excess of that figure was made by the agent of the railroad company. The firm refuses the consign- ment. Te Recover His Property. ALAMEDA, CaAvn., Sept. 21L.—Willlam Cron, an aged capitalist of this city, has brought suit against his son, William Cron Jr., to recover title to property located in Oakland valued at $20,000. In 1894 the father signed a quitciaim deed, as he claims, thinking that it was a power of attorney. After this the father was ousted by the son. Asks for an Accounting.

Pratt to give an accounting of a part- nership nnfiur the name of tne Proyident Savings Life Assurance Bociety, they act- ing as the coast managers.

It was thought by some that he would abanaon the race after the primaries, but his action of go.dn{ gmvuu that thought not to have been well founded and warrants the be- liefthat he is in the contest to stay until the voters of his district emphasize their choice at the ballot box. r of Lockjaw, OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 21.—W.

In this election the greatest interest is al- ways manifested by the student body, and the enthusiasm displayed on this occasion was no exception. Intepse, but friendly, rivalry existed among the different can- didates and their constituents. The chief interest centered in the race lor president, the candidates being J. W. Solen and J. J. Greeley, both of '97. Both were nominated by brilliant speakers, but the eloguence of B. J. Flood, 97, so thoroughly impressed the students that they were convinced that J. W.
