He clung to the rail and was dragged along with his feet nearly under the wheels. The attention of Conductor Buchanan was attracted to the unfortunale man by the cries of the school children.

ALAMEDA, Cav., Oct. 2—The Board of Trustees met in secret to-night at the home of Trustee Leydecker, who is con- fined to the house with a spraiced ankle, to discuss the tax levy.

A Small Incident That Shows the Great Interest in the Cam- paign. OAKLAND, CaL, Oct. 2.—There was a clash between commerce and politics last night, and early this morning and to-day the billboards all over town are decorated with silver and gold as they were never before. During yesterday a billposter was busy on a little sign that was printed in gold and consisted solely of the two words “'gold brick.” When Oakiand awoke early this morning “'gold brick” was all over town. Two or three energetic Populists o:(l)amounta. or both, saw them and at once concluded that it was a device o' the enemy of their 50-cent dollar campaign and at once started out to obliterate the offensive gold signs. By noon laree pla- cards printed in silver and representing a dollar were posted over the gold signs. The off-nding “xold brick” man is a man named Buss of East Oakland. He thought he had a fortune in sight in some small article that he manufactures and had spent his small savings in gold signs which angered the Populists. Toadd to his discomtiture Buss isalso a Populist. —————————— © Some Odd Facts, OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 2—The County Clerk will change the entry on the great register for any voter up to midnight Tuesday who has moved from where he resided when he registered. If this be not attended to a Yote will be lost. Up to the present time it is believed nearly 400 changes have been made. The work of securing a list of electors who have died since they registered is now going on, so that the names can be so checked when the great register is published. It 1s esti- mated that there are fully 350 of these. Most of these are past 60, the oldest being Anglus Giovanni, 104 years of age. Denies Her Charges. OAKLAND, (AL, Oct. 2.—Dr. J.

Fearn, is suing him for a divorce in Los Angeles, has returned from Tulare and isat his father’s residence in this city, He enters a general denial of all the charges, saying they will be proven false when the case comes to trial. On the other hand his friends claim that she really deserted him.

ESCAPE OF THE SOLID SEVEN Jury Finds a Verdict. in Favor of the Accused Supervisors. Court Rules That the Board of Equalization Acts in a Judi- cial Capacity. THE EXCLUDED EVIDENUE, Judge Scawell’s Ruling May Result in a Dismissal of the Pro- ceedings. The seven Supervisors who were ac- cused by the late Grand Jury of corruption in lowering the assessments of the Spring Valley Water Works, the Market-street Railway Company and the SBan Francisco Gaslight Company have escaped. The ob- jections raised by Counsel J. C. Campbell, Patrick Reddy and J. H. Dickinson against the introduction of testimony tending to show that the valuation of the franchises runs too low were sustained by Judge Seawell in Department 1 of the Su- perior Court yesterday. The court held in view Judge Wallace’s ruling in the Siebe case that the act of the Board of Equalization in fixing the assess- ment was the exercise of a purely judicial function and, therefore, could not be at- tacked by evidence showing that in the opinion of others the judgment of the board was incorrect. *Does your Honor mean that we must actually prove corruption?’ asked Mr. Hosmer for the prosecution. The court replied: “I donot believe that the mere judgment of an officer exercising judicial functions, no matter how errone- ous, is evidence of corruption.’” District Attorney Barnes, who was in court yesterday, saw at once, and so did his assistant, Mr. Hosmer, that the task of proving corruption by direct testimony ‘was & greater burden than the prosecution could sustain, The Grand Jury, while actually con- vinced that the seven Supervisors were in leagne with the benefited corporations, faited at the time the case was congidered JUDGE SEAWELL. BLOWN 0UT OF HIS BED Many Accidents at Fruitvale Caused by Blasting Tree Stumps. Windows Shattered, Roofs Broken and Electric Wires Parted by the Flying Roots. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISCO CAL:.,% 908 Broadway, Oot. 2. The men at work on the Wetherbee place removing stumps of large trees startled the community this morning by an explosion of giant powder that shattered glassin a dozen adjacent houses, broke roofs and parted electric wires. Tom West, an experienced man in the handling of explosives, was in cnarge, and placed seven sticks of No. 2 giant powder under a big stump, arranged to go off one after the other, as he had done for weeks before. But his well-prepared plans failed, and three of the sticks went off at once. He and his assistant were standing only forty feet from the stump and were un- harmed, as was the Wetherbee house in the lot, but the neighbors were startled by cracking glass in every direction. Ounly half of the stump came out, but part of that took a somhweslerlfi course, cutting the span-wires of the Haywards electric road and breaking the glass in a car stand- ing about 300 feet from the scene, The first piece landed 600 feet from the starting point in a vacant lot. The other piece went about 500 feet east, and stopped just short of striking a cottage. A drugstore, butcher shop and grocery each had two windows broken, besides two holes punctured in_ the grocery roof. The residence of Mr. Farnum had four hrg- window-panes broken, and Mr. Aldrich had a large window nearly ten feet square shattered. g Mr. Cordes was thrown out of his bed 800 feet away from the scene and was de- ited on the floor amid a shower of roken glass. The work was being done by E. B. Stone, who visited the damaged houses as soon as he learned of the accident, and l‘“. orders to have all repairs made at his expense. He said he was glad no lives were lost. to find a witness to swear positively that any Supervisor had been corruptly ap- proached. The weakness of the case was understood in the District Attorney’s -office, where the accusation was filed, but there was hope that a course of judicial inquiry would be permitted in_ behalf of the people which would reveal the true motive for reducing corporate franchises to a figure far below that returned by the Assessor. The ruling of Judge Seawell practically amounted to a dismissal of the case. A few questions were propounded to Mr. Farquaharson, a clerk in the office of the Board of Supervisors, and then the Dis- trict Attorney rested. J. C. Campbell, addressing the court, said: ‘““We move that your Honor instruct the jury to find a verdict for defendants.’” The court to the jury—*If you find in favor of the defendants you will find the defendants not guilty on each count.” The foreman of the jury responded: “We find tie defendants not guilty on each count.” The court then discharged the jury. During the trial on the case the Civic Federation was not in evidence. Among the members of the Grand Jury Theodore F. Payne was the only onme in court. Horace D. Dunn, the expers, was present and noted the pzoceedings. The accused Superyisors were represented by lawyers who were active in the cause of theé de- fendants. The Superyisors were not compelled under oath to explain why they rated Spring Valley property worth $20,000,000 in Pebruary, when the company was to receive revenue on its investment from the taxpayers, and in March, when the com- g:ny'u investment was to be taxed for the mefit of the City,it was worth less than half that sum. According to the law transactions of this character are errors of {ndgment committed by the Supervisors n a judicial capacity. . The verdict rendered by instruction does not obscure the fact that the seven ac- cused Supervisors reduced the assessments on the franchises of rich corporations and thereby compelled home-owners and mer- chants to bear an unequal burden of taxa- tion. It may console the plundered tax- yers, however, to know that they have E:on robbed in a judicial capacity. ‘Want to Hear Grant. OAKLAND, CaL., Oct.2.—J. W.

All Certificates of Nominations Conventions Must Be Filed To-Day. OAKLAND, Can, Oct. 2.—All candi- datrs for office nominated by conventions must have their certificates of nomina- tion filed with County Clerk Jordan be- {fore Saturday night at 12 o’clock. To-day the People’s party filed their ticket, be- ing the first one to do so. The Prohibi- tionists followed them closely. The fol- lowing have filed separate certificates of nomination: W. E. Greene and 8. P. Hall, nominees for Suverior Judge; F. 8. Stratton, for State Sen- ator; H. H. North, for Assemblyman, Fiftieth District; Oscar F. Breiling, Forty-ninth Dis- trict; James W.

W. Stetson, Justices of the Peace, Oakland Township, and C. R. Lord and 8. H. Penwell, town of Berkeley; and withdrawals of D. W. McLaughlin, Peo- ple’s party and Democratic nominee. The District Attorney has found techni- calities in the certificates of 8. H. Penwell as Justice of the Peace, Thomas Pearson for Assemblyman, F. M. Lawrence for Supervisor, James Andrew and Carl L. Fosberg for the Assembly, and the County Clerk has notified each to attend to the matter. Certificates of nomination by pe- tition can be filea for ten days yet. READY FOR THEIR GAME Berkeley Football Men Will Meet the Reliance Team To-Day. by Coach Butterworth Receives a Great Ovation Upon Coming to the Field. BERKELEY, CarL, Oct. 2—When But- terworth came down to the football field this afternocon to give the players their first lesson this térra & round of cheers and college yells such as has probably never been heard before went up from the throats of 800 students and visitors, who surrounded the field and covered the bleachers, This particularly enthusiastic demonstration on the pars of the students was doubtless due to their, previous acquaintance with the great fullback and because he is the first man who has ever been engaged to coach Berkeley’s team a second year. After a hearty handshaking with his last year’s acquaintauces on the gridiron Butterworth set the men to work, and half an_hour was spent in heavy line work. The play was rapid and snappy from the very outset. Captain Ransome took the ball on several occasions and made a number of deep pliunges through the line. Birdsall, the new center, made some remarkable openings in the line for the halves, and Hopper did distinguishing work in bringing down runners from his position at right end. Decidedly more vigor and energy was put into the plays than has characterized any previous work this season. The men seem to be in fairly good con- dition for their initial game of the season with the Reliance Club at Central Park to-morrow afternoon. The: team, taken as a whole, will be rather light,on ac- count of the slight injuries which some of the first eleven men have recently re- ceived. Following will be the make-u; Berkeley team: Right end, opper; right tackle, Hynes; right guard, Greis- berg; center, Birdsall; left gmu-d, Lud- low; left tackle, Castlehun; left end, Craig; left half, Hall; left end, Sherman; quarter, Kennedy; fullbacg, Ransome. Ransome, Sherman and Kennedy are the only three men on the team who were on the Varsity eleven last year. Selfridge and Hutchinson of last year’s team are both in college, but the former cannot play because of objections made on the part of his family, and Hutchinson is dis- qualified because of a strained ankle. New Law in Effect. BERKELEY, CaL, Oct. 2.—The new license ordinance of Berkeley is now in effect and on Monday Marshal Lloyd will Pro to arrest all violators thereof. Several outside firms which send delivery wagons into Berkeley have already paid the new license fee and others are pre- ‘paring to open branch stores jn the town. Rumors are current that efforts will be made to fight the new law in the courts, bat it is not thought that any one will at- tempt to do so, as the ordinance does not differ materially from the laws enforced by the city of Oakland. May Debate This Term, BERKELEY, CAL., Oct. 2.—Efforts are being made to have the debate between Berkeley and Stanford for the Carnot medal take place during the present term, instead of during the spring term, as has been the custom. It is thought that a much highed standard of excellence in gol- lege oratory would be developed if inter- collegiate debating were a feature of both terms of the academic year. Brief News Items. BERKELEY, CAL., Oct. 2.—The Quill, pub- lished ai the State University of lowa, has printed an_ editorial on the recent backstop Tush at Berkeley, in which the right of co-eds to take part in rushes is defended. The Athletic Association of the university has placed a large list, framed, of allstudents in college on the bulletin board of North Hall, the names of those who hayve paid their atnletic dues being marked. It is thought that this will have the effect of bringing delin- quents to time. A small fire destroyed the hedge in front of David Neely’s property to-day, at the corner of University avenue and Cedar street. The horse of William Stricker ran away last night, being frightened by the Salvation Army drum on Shattuck avenue. The runaway was stopped by George Horrigan aifter a coliision with & milk-wagon. All the milk was spilled. Josh comes out to-day with an entirely new cover, designed by Quinan. Stanford and Berxeley are represented b{ two pretty co-eds sitting on a huge swing, with Josh, atiired as a circus clown, between them. Half-tone portraits of Coaches Butterworth and Cross are included as supplements. ——————— THE OLD STORY. A Domestic Blows Out the Gas and Nearly Kills Herself.
