So— BAD FOR GOPHERS. An Ingenious Invention to Blow Them Qut of Existence, Called a *Gopher Gun. OAKLAND, CAL., Dec. 26.—Charles Kis- tler and Peter Derkun have invented a gopher gun which they confidently assert will materially diminish the number of gophers and squirrels on any farm where they are introduced. The gopher gun is made of iron and shaped like a little cannon. It isabout eight inches long and is placed at the mouth of the hole occupied by the de- structive animals whose mission it 1s to kill. A small charge of powder and a common percussion cap are the materials nsed. A small red, at the end of which is attached a cork, projects beyond the muz- z'e of the gun and reaches into the hole. When the gopher or squirrel touches this rod, as he 1s obliged to do to emerge from tbe hole, a spring is released which causes the trigger to fall, the gun goes off 1 a bank, as he could no longer restrain | himself. Justice Morris sent him to the Gounty Jail for thirty days for vagrancy. Calls It a Victory.

AN OFF THE SOUATTERS James McCoy Destroys Their Tent and Asserts His Ownership. | | A United States Patent Now Protects i Him From Al Future Land- Jumping. | OarraND OFFicE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL, } 908 Broadway, D-c. 26. f J. W. McCoy, the owner of tte ranch in | Redwood Canyon, which was juraped by | three young men last week during his ab- sence, has set at rest all doubts as to his itle. Last Friday he secured a United | States patent on the property, and this | effectually disposes of any adverse claim | by squatters, Just a week ago Mr. McCoy said the | three young men plichea a tent on the land he bad rented from Henry Pierce of the Contra Costa Water Company. ‘The young men did not enjoy their pos- i session long. Last Thursday Mr. McCoy went to the tract on which v I squatted and ejected them, at the same time tearing down their tent. The ranch 1 comprises about eighty-eight acres and is | mostly used for pasturage. Tuoe McCoys left it for a few months to reside near Haywards, and when they re- turned found the threesquatiers in posses- | sion, Assoon as Mr. McCoy secured his patent they did not remain long undis- turbed. The homestead coneists of forty acres, | to which there is no dispute as to title,. A | story published last week intimated that Mr.” McCoy’s right to the property was | somewhat clonded and ihat the ‘inter- lopers had taken udvantage of that fact. | This was not so, as there was no cloud on the title, and the three men simply nre- empted the iand and evinced an iutention to keep it at all :azards. There was no necessity for Mr. McCoy to take outaland patent, but it furnished indisputable proof that he had a rignt to destroy the squatters’ tent and drive them off his property. The | ¢ crimination as to the party whose candi- | date shall be at the head. At the last | election much trouble was experienced, | and finally the Secretary of State gave | County Clerks instructions in the matter. | Had the Secretarv of State been of a dif- ferent political faith it is probable that his | instructions might bave been different, | consequently the same difficulty is likely | to occur at every election. The device of Mr. Brown simplifies this | matter, and the only objection possible to | nis plan is that it may not be considered completely practicable. His idea fulfills | all the requirements, and at the same | time overcomes most if not all of the ob- | jections made against the_ Australian | ballot, | The proposed ballot is circular in shape | and is divided into as many segments as | there are parties who have filed tickets. | BEach party will have one segment of the | circle, and there will be neither top nor bottom to the ticket. In this way the number of circles will be large or small, according to the number of candiaates. The names of the various parties are placed at the inner end of the segment and thence toward the largest cir- cumference follow the candidates in regu- lar order. i By thygplan every ticket secures the:same | prominence and there can be no charge | er suggestion of undue prominence. By following out Mr. Brown’s plan the last | name on eaci party ticket standsin the same relation to the head of the ticket. ! The voter who forgets to finish or is too slow to reach the last nume on the ticket can have no possible excuse for placing a cross against the top names on any other ticket. Another great saving claimed for this new ticket is the time consumed in count- ing the voles; being circularin form a pin is to be placed in the table and each bailot impaied upon it, then itcan be swune nround at will until counted and anoti er placed upon it. 1! e .ea cametome,” said Mr. Brown, “‘on a sieepless night when I was thinking over the cumbrous form of the present ballot. Some time afterward I reproduced my idea on paper and showed 1t to Regis- trar Hinton of San Francisco. He at once | declared that it was a good, practical | thing, and would save all the wrangling over places of preference. Each party must have the same officers placed in nomination and they would all be on the same circle on the ballot, and defeated candidates could never afterward attribute their fate to the fact that they missed votes because thev were further down on the.ticket than their opponents. Pariies and men always want the best position on the ticket, but in my device there is no best and no worse. *Tue adoption of a new ticket must go before the Legisiature, and 1 expect there will be many who will favor voting ma- chines, but I do not think that such a ma- chine has yet been inventea that is above suspicion. Witn the present law we could not have a fairer election than with the ballot I bave devised. I will present it to the Legisiature on its merits. There is nothing for me to gain versonaliy by ity adoption, and nothing to lose, so it must g0 on merit alone.” Charles Schram and Abelard Sisterna had an altercation, ending in a rough and tumble fight, this morning in Storck’s buteher shop in West Berke.ey. cinl mattet thrown aga/ The troubie was over finan- Sisterna was badty cut by being st a pune of glass.

William R. Davis Says the Repeal of the Act of 1852 Would Be a Cai mity. OAELAND OFFICE SAN FRA } 908 Broadway, Dec. The Board of Trade directors mert this afternoon for the special purpose of dis: cussing what action should be taken re- garding the water-front bill prepared by Assemblyman Leavitt. The unanimous sentiment was that every member of each directory of the bourd and the Merchanty’ Exchange shouid be on hand next Mon- day night and show by a full vote their opposition to the measure. it was conceded by all that nothing could be more disadvantageous than any measure that will retard the early settle- ment of the ownership ot the city’s water front and its improvement for immediate use. A strong resolution will be adopted requesting Mr. Leavitt to let the matter alone. On Monday evening the two mercantile bodies will meet at the Central Bank building and will formulate a document which will show that they are unalterably and unanimously opposed to the intro- duction into tue Legi-lature of any bill such as that proposed by Mr. Leavitt. William R. Davis, senior counsel for the city in thie great suit for the recovery of the water front, now awaiting determina- tion by the Supreme Court, published the following to-day in reply to a statement that the repeal of the act of 1852 wouid not affect the city’s rights and interests: The importance of the subject matter, our twelve square miles of water iront, perhaps warrants & few words. There is ' mistake somew here, of print or of copy. I never con- ceived nor expressed to any one the thought that the repeal of the grant to the town of the water front in trust by the act of 1852 was a matter of indifference, or that it would not af- fect the eity’s rightsand interests, now being litigated and upheld, or that tnat idea could now be entertained even, Gravest reasons ex- ist why our State court of last resort, where the wholematter is argued, briefed and submit- ted, should proceed undisturved to final judgment. Time hus shown often and will show again that sound judgment is safer and better than hasty aclivity. ' The proposed repeal of the act o1 1852 wouid be the one great caiamity that could befall Oukiand. It would be an awful New Year's giit.

Request of Thomas Co'eman for a Prison Cell to Preveat Him Com- mitting a Crime Granted. ALAMEDA, Carn., Dec. 26.—The -pro- posed plan of a double-decked bridge across the estuary has an opponent in Lyman Bridges, the-civil engineer. He does not think the cars need to cross the estuary at all. He says: **A viaduct or tunnel should be the only thing considered if there is any necessity for a railroad crossing the estuary. Cir- cumstances and conditions have changed both in this city and Oakland since the Alice and Webster streets bridges were allowed for railway purposes. ““The Supervisors cannot afford to throw away the Zpeople’s money in building a bridge. Let the railroad company build their own viaduct and tunnel if any is re- quired by them, and let the Supervisors expend public money for a viaduet and tunnel under Broadway. I have no doubt that Alameda will join and build a boulevard from the south side of the estu- ary to the avenues of this city. “I can’t see the necessity of the steam cars crossing the estuary anyway. With the Pucific or Railroad avenue line turned to the narrow-gauge pier and an exchange of tickets at the junction of the Alameda Electric Railway, with an hourly train via Fruitvale to Park. street, our citizens would be much better accommodated than at present and no Alice-street bridge would be required. If this bridge was re- moved ounly the Webster-street bridge would obstruct navigation, and this only until the Broadway tunnel could be built. I shoula think the people would not toler- ate any double-decked or second-story bridges.” Heroism Rewarded, ALAMEDA, Car, Dec. 26.—The gold medals purchased by public subscription, for their heroism in the rescue of old John Baker, a clam-digger, early last spring, were presented to Miss Vida McKean and Miss Dora Patterson yesterday. E. Clark and Al Cooper, who originatea the idea of the medals, presented them. The ladies were greatly pleased with the gift, and to- day gave out the following card of thanks: Not being able to thank individually the citizens of Alameda for the beautiful medals they received on Christmas morning, Dora i Patterson and Vida McKean wish to express | their hearty thanks through the columns of this paper. They feel that they have done nothing worthy of so handsome a reward, but appreciate very much the kindness of the many who have contributed toward the medals, which they value so highly. Coleman Was Accommodated. ALAMEDA, CaL., Dec. 26.—Thomas Coleman, a seedy looking individual, ap- peared at the City Prison this mornin, and demanded to be locked up. He sai if he was not accommodated he would rob the Alameda Bank. Ashe had a de- termined look in his eyes and acted as if he would attempt tocarry out his threat Officer_Conrad_at _once accommodated bim. When placed behind the bars he ceemed to be considerably relieved. Cole- man afterwara stated that he did not know why he did not carry out the at- tempt without coming to the police station. Officer Conrad says it is often done by offenders just after a job has been done, to get out of sight. He believes that the man is one of the gang that robbed a saloon at Fruitvale Thursdav night. Coleman was taken before Justice Morris this afternoon and given thiriy days for vagrancy in order to give the police a chance to look up his record. Three Deaths. ALAMEDA, CaL., Dec. 26.—Captain and Mrs. Elvetbun Lewis of 1528 Minturn street received word to-day oi the death of their son William near Boston, Mass., last Thursday.

WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such sirain men ase scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and_address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weakened man to get the beacfit of my experience, Iam nota philanthropist, nor do I pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at onca could thev but get such a remedy as the one that cured me.
