BERKELEY, Cavn, Jan. 13.—Professor 8. D. Syle of the Ergclish department of the State University has written a new play, called ‘‘The Chaplain’s Revenge,” which will be staged by a body of student actors on the evening of charter day, March 23. The play is a story of life in the nine- teenth century, told in four acts and a vrologue. The outline of the plot was | taken from a novel written by Sir Walter Besant and the late James Rice, together.

Victims Cannot Tell Whem to Hold Responsible for Their Ostracism. Never Before Had tlie Ban cof the Lak:side S:t Been So Keenly Felt. OAxLAND OFrIcE 8AN FRAKCISCO C.u.x,,} 408 Broadway, Jan. 13. The blue pencil has been used in society and Oakland is disturbed. For some time the Lakeside set has determined upon a purging of the list of honor which controls their affiliation, and to-day the result of their Jabors was made known. The list of invited guests to the Wednes- | day-night Cotilion Club, which held its cotillon to-night, tells the story. It was made public to-day, and there were heart- breakings and avowals of revenge from Piedmont to Fruitvale. Many names hitherto accepted have been dropped, and the victims want to know on whom to fasten the responsi- bility. They are not likely to attain their object, however, for the applications for invita:ions were addressed to a box in the postoffice, and those who were not in- cluded in the list cannot discover by whom that particular box is owned. The present social upheaval is a sequel to the trouble that broke up the Deux Temos Club last season. When it was re- organized it was discovered that the pre- vious membership mada it too promis- cuous, and the blue pencil was freely used. This action caused much feeling, and it has extended to the Cotillon Club, There are no officers of the club, and of course no one can blame the lady patronesses for being dropped, as it is well known that they place such matters in the hands of a select committee. The commiitee is so select that its identity can never be dis- covered. The secrecy observed in the process of expurgation gives all the opportunity de- sired to work off personal ‘“‘misunder- standings,”” but this time the blue pencil | has been used with a freedom never dared before. The following list is the most exclusive the Lakeside set has yet issued and any name that is missing has no redress and telis iis own story by its absence: Mr. and Mrs. Edson Adams, Misses Afns- worth, John Ainsworth, Howard Avery, Laurie Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Bray, Mrs. Allendale, | PRESIDENT AND MRS.

OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 13.—The Police Department had its first open-air drill th's afternoon. Some time agzo three | companies of twelve men each were | formed in the department, and to-day two | of them were taken out to Boulevard Ter- | race and put through various military | movements. Some of the men as yet would compare very unfavorably with the | Horse Guards, bat they take great inter- est in the drill and will probabiy appear as an evolutionary body on Washington’s birthday, when they declare they will outdo the National Guard. To Garnishee Official Salaries. - OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 13.—The Mer- chants’ Exchange bas forwarded its bill to Senator Stratton which provides for the garnisheeing of the wages of public officials for debts due.

The petition first asks that the entire will be eliminated from ti:e complaint and also the nortion in which the Pardec family affairs are discussed afier the death of the doctor’s mother 1n 1877.

A Silent Wedding at San Leandro. ‘SAN LEANDRO, CaL, Jan. 13.—There was a wedding at San Leandro this even- ing, the contracting parties being Thomas Sandercock of San Luis Obispo and Miss Laura Murray of San Leandro, both mutes end former pupils of the Berkeley Deaf and Dumb School. The groom is well known throughout the State and his bride is the daughter of a farmer of San Le- andro. e ANGRY SCAVENGERS. They Do Not Like to Pay for Surning the Garbage. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 13.—The scav- engers are not disposed to pay for the cre- mating of their collections if they can heip it. This morning several of them hauled their loads to the new crematory, which has a contract with the city, but they refused to pay in advance to have the material burned, and the contractors re- fused to allow them to dump the garbage. Two special officers have been appointed to see that the scavengers do not break the city ordinance, and three men have already been arrested. The crematory is kept going all tbe time and is a, pro- nounced success, not a suggestion of edor being detected in the vicinity. DELEGHTES ARE DY The Republican Committee Will Make Known Its Choice To- Morrow Night. A Keen Desire on the Part of the Bolters to Be Taken Into Camp. OAKLAND OFFICE BAN FrANcIsco CALL, 908 Brodway, Jan. 13. The delegates to the Municipal Reoub- lican Convention will be named Friday night, and next Monday evening the con- vention will assemble. Dr. Pardee has proved during the past few days thatall that his friend Leach has said about his grit and energy during the past four years has not been undeserved. The doctor has completely ignorea the suggestion of his late friend to retire, and the result has shown that he has carried almost the en- tire Republican party and in fact two- thirds of the voting community with him. At last night's meeting Dr. Pardee greeted the fellow-members of bis com- mittee as “Feilow Boodlers,” at which tl.are was an uproarious laugh. Greatef- forts bave been made by the bolters to creep under the protection of the regular Republican camp, but they have not been met half way, as their influence 1s re- as nil, and all the overtures have come fiom the small side. Nobody believes the sensational stories that were circulated about boodie and rival water compsnies, and they have been huried back into the camp whence they came with terrific force, and the stupid attempt to disrupt ihe Repub- lican party for selfish or other motives has been a flat failure. In explanation of his position Mr. Leach published the following statement to- night: Happily the gentlemen constituting the committée ate above reproach or suspicion of wrongdoing, and by the cry that has been Taised it is probable that each one of the som- mittee will have & keener sense of the re- sponsibilities they have assumed, and will in- sist on selecting his quota of thé convention witnout allowing some oussider to do it for him, and iMthis way the schemers and pur- chasers of the City Commitiee will be pre- vented from reaping the fruit of the infamous bargain. Under the circumstances the committee and convention have a very difficult task to per- form, but with the proper exercise of vigi- lance and attendance to the dutles imposed, it is possible for them to create a city ticket that will Do scceptabie to the people and one that wiil receive the support of the Republican party. The gentlemen Who have this responsible work in hand want to bear in mind that it is 10 the formation of the Council that the efforts of sciemers s particularly directed. Itis true that these pariies have had selecied for sey- eral days ihe men whom they intended shou.d be nominated jor the Councilirom each ward; that for the positions of Mayor, City Engineer and City Attorney they had no particular in- terest except as (0 the irading value the nom- inations possessed. Itis well known among “ihe boys,” if not outside of that circle, that votesof parts of wards were being ireely offered for suppori to be given certain individuals as nominees for the Council. Now that these things are knownand the political knavery has been exposed the way for the committee has been made somewhat clearer, while the duties have been made more responsible. Dr. Pardee and the other representa- tives of the Republican party who are arranging for tve convention declare openly tuat they do nut wish Mr. Leach or any one else to iry and explain what they do not or will not undersiand, mucn less do they want them (o utter any apol- ogies for the committee of twenty-one. DAY HELD IN CONTEMPT. His Attorneys Will Sus Out a Writ of Habeds Corpu: To-\orrow. ALAMEDA, CaAL, Jan. 13.—Justice Morris to-day charged Constable Day with contempt of court in refusing to take two priconers to the County Jail whea sens tenced. Cons:able Day will appear before the court at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning for sentence. In the meanwhile Constable von Kopf took the prisoners to the jail, but will refuse to take his brother-officer to-morrow if committed for contempt by the Judge. Then the court will be blocked. Much interest is beinz manifested in the case and Messrs. Tappan and Simpson have been r tained by Constable Day to keep him out ot Sheriff White's clutches. They will proceed vuder habeas corpus as soon as Justice Morris finds him guilty and fixes the penalty. The point raised by them is that no law can compel & man to perform a service without compevsation. If that be good law, they say, a Constable from Liver- more could be compelled to make two trips a day to Oakland and pay his own railroad fare, whic: would force him into insolvency. The amount of the fare cuts no figure ia the case; it is the principal they coniena against. In response to a question from Justice Morris a Deputy District Attorney said: “Constables are compelied to execute every process of law, regardless of com- pensation.” The outcome of to-morrow's proceedings will be watched with in- terest. That Trip to Paris. ALAMEDA, Carn, Jan. 13.—The an- nouncement of Miss Nora Harnden’s con- templated departure next Saturday for Paris as Mrs. L. J. Sellier in this morn- ing's papers has been the sensaiion of the day among that young lady’s numerous CITY WARRANTS CASHNED 307% DISCOUNT: An Experience of Which Auditor Snow Would Rob Oakland. acquaintances in this city. “What has happened is all right,” said Mr. Sellier to- day. *“My daughter will accompany us for a pleasure trip. You see, the whole matter came about in this way: “I have always had a great affection for Nora, and she has been at our house fre- quently with my daughter. I have some mining matters to attend to in_Paris, and recently when I stated that I was going to visit tbat city Miss Harnden, who is a very clever young lady, said she wished she could take such a trip. I wasquite willing that she should do so, and in- vited her to go along. She replied, how- ever, that she could not very well do that unless she went as my wile. Now, there you have it all. I have already heard three young ladies wish that they were the fortunate ones.” A visit to the Harnden home, on Broad- way, this afternoon brought forth a prompt denial from a younzer Miss Harnden that her sister was engaged or indenaed to be married. In answer to the question whether she was not already married the young lady hesitated at first, but finally iaughingly denied that fact. She first said her sister was too busy to be seen, then that she had fled on sight of the reporter. Then there came a voice from an adjolning room. *Itisallafalse- hood,” it ‘said. “I am not_going to be married, nor am I engaged. I havealways looked upon Mr. Sellier as old enough to be my grandiather. Jewish Ladles’ Auxiliary. ALAMEDA, CaL., Jan. 13.—The Jewish Ladies’ Auxiliary gave an entertainment to-night at Encinal Hall that was the social event of the season in the Hebrew set. The proceeds will go toward the building fund and will net quite a neat sum. Representative delegations were present from San Francisco, Oakland and other bay cities. The programme con- sisted of vocal and instrumental music and recitations, and closed with a farce comedy. The floor was then cieared of the chairs, and dancing indulged in until an early hour. Those in charge were: Mrs. G. Zender, Mrs. A, Winzinsky, Mrs. M. R. Wertheimer, Mrs. W. Wolfe, Miss Triest, Mrs. Triest, Mrs. Seidenberg, Miss Samuels, Mrs. C. Sturm, Mrs. L. S.

Many of ‘His Brethren Attend His Funeral at Mission San Jose. OAxLAND OFFIcE SAN FrANcisco (‘ALL.} 908 Broadway, Jan. 13. The most interesting Indian of the old tribe that inbabited this couffty in the time of the early missions, was burled at Mission San Jose Monday afternoon. Jose Antonio was chief of the tribe, and according to the Indian records he was 71 years of age when he died, although it is believed he was considerably older. The chiei’s death was due to old ace and gan- grene, and his funeral was attended by a large number of his tribesmen. For half a century Antonio has been an interesting figure at the Indian settlement between Suncl and Pleasanton. In that neighborhopd hundred of campers syend the summer months, and to all of them the old chief was an uuending source of interest and amusement. He told stirring tales of the time when the missions were flourishing before the day of the Ameri- can, and he was never civilized to the point where be would acknowiedge that the country was the better for their com- ing. He was as muchan Indian at his aeath as at his birth. Old Antonjo married about three times during bis life, and -some of his comrades declare that he had four wives. Judging by the many little Indians who bear his namne in the canyon, the latter number is probably correct. For the past twenty years he has been an object of veneration and respect to his tribesmen, and to wi'hin a_ew months be was the presiding officer of t e tribe and his opinions were re- garded as law. Not long ago he recounted the experi- ences of the Indian for the past sixty years. He told how when the “Angelus” used to be heard from the belfry of the Mission the Indians were good and per- tormed their evening duty by thle church. He deeply regretted the law that robbed the missions of 1heir paternal value and made them mere relicious insiitutions. He recalled the institution of the pueblos, which system, however, was never given a thorough test before the oecupation by the Americans succeeded it. Judging from old Antonio’s meny remi- niscences and the accuracy with which he referred to the details of unte-pioneer life in Alameda County, he must have been not less than 80 years of age. Miners Killed by an taplosion.

OAKLAND OrFIcE SAN FRANCISCO UALL,] 908 Broadway, Jan. 13. If a bilinow at Sacramento sball be- come alaw the business of the shaver of municipal warrants will have to seek an- other channel through which to turn his money with the least possible trouble. In Oakland, where the bill was prepared, the benefit of such a measure will be very marked. Warraats of city employes and con- tractors are on file in the Auditor’s office in Qakland for nine months of the year, and in consequ-nce the owners are forced to discount them at a ruinous rate of in- terest. So well1s this known to a certain class of money-lenders that there are more shingles hanging out in this city convey- ing the information that municipal war- rants wiil be cashed tban any other city of its siz in the country. Auditor Snow, the autbor of the bill, who has had four terms of experience with municipal ac- counts, has drawn up the bill, which isas follows: Whenever in any fiseal year at any time prior to the day on which the last installment of taxes becomes delinquent the Auditor of any incorporated city shailreport to the Coun- cil that e is insufiicient money in the treasury available for the payment of undis- puted claims against saif city the Council of said city may autborize the Mayor and the City Treasurer i0 sign 2nd sell bonds of said city. Said bonds shall be of the denomination of $1000 and ber interest from the date of issue | Said bonds shali be paid 1. the same order as issued from the first taxes collected by said city, provided that all of the bonds issued shall not exceed in amount the sum of the ciaims reported to the Council by the Auditor, nor at any t.me exceed in the aggregate 90 ver cent of the taxes 10 be collected and available tor the expenses of the current fiscal year. In explaining the matter to-day Mr. Snow said: “There are hundreds of city | emuloye-, especially in the Street Depart- ment, who have to pay at the rate of irom 6 to 60 per cent per annum for having | stances where the discount has been atthe rate of 100 per cent. ‘‘Contractors when figuringon city work make an allowance for the fact that they | will have to discount their warrant, and 1n this manner the city loses a far larger sum of money than it would pay by issu- ing small bonds for a few months at a low rate of interest. “In the Bast city councils are empoxw- ered to do this, and the system works well. Itis not a new idea in municipal history, although it is new on tnis coast.” FRIGHTFUL - POWDER ~EXPLOSION. | Proprietor of the Works and His Two Daughters K:lled—Two Employes i Seriously Injured. i PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 13.—At 9:15 o'clock yesterday the tankhouse of the Columbiz Powder Company, located in a hollow a half mile from the Ounio River and midway between Boroughs, Shouse- town and Shanopoin, blew up. Five minutes later the storage-room was shat- tered by a terrific explos.on. Mr. Stickney, proprietor of the works, and his two daughters were killed, P. Mc- | Klusky fatally injured .and Walter Cranc seriously hurt. By almost superhuman efforts the flames | were controlled before the glycerine ma- | chinc ignited and a more serious catas- | trophe was averted. The cause of the explosion will probably never be known. For a time the people in the vicinity were in & frightful state of trepidation, It was soon noised around that the fire was approaching the glycerine tank, and everybody knew that a irightful explosion would ensue if it ever reached the tank.
