Uranm, Jan. 16.—Frank M. McBride, assistant posimaster of this clty, was arrested to-night on a charge of embezzlement. He confessed to having taken $4000 of the money realized from the sale of stamps since July last. J. W. Cunnington, the stamp clerk, is implicated also, and a warrant is out for bis apprehension. So far Cunnington's shortage does not appear to exceed $400. Postmaster Barratt discovered the de- falcation on checking up the stock of stamps on hand, which was far short of the amount the books kept by McBride snowed. McBride wae arraigned, waived exami- nation and was held in $4000 bonds. He is very well connected and has infinential relatives in Washington, D. C., and is a nephew of Senatcr McBride of Oregon. He has been living “high” and spending a good deal of money lately. Drdatiana Church War at Tacoma. TACOMA, WasH., Jan. 16 —The male | members of the Kirst Baptist Church of this city are displeased with the evangeli- cal methods of Pastor Robinson, late of Culifornia, who has recently been holdin specianl services at th- request of the female membersof the tlock. It isasserted that the women have been aroused to a high piteh of religious excitement at these meetings, greatly to the disgust of the men, who have formally reqnested Pastor Robinson to desist. The women remain true to their idol, however, and a split in the congregation is threatened. s e IHE IDAHU DEADLOCK, Dubois Makes Mo Gains on the Sixth Ballot for Senator. BOISE, Ipaso, Jan 16.—T..e sixth ballot for United Stetes Senator, taken to-day in the Legislature of this State, resuited as fol.ows: Dubois, silver Republican, 25; Angel, Populist, 24; Nelson, Populist, 16; Lewis, Claggett, Populists; Bagley, Republican, and Johnson, Democrat, 1 each. The Democrats voted solidly for Nelson, and if the Popu'ists had done the same he would have been elected. A great many Populists oppose him on the ground that he is more of a Democrat than a Populist. The Popu.ists and Dem- ocrats are no nearer together than they were a week ago and there seems to be & feeling that there will be no election for quite & while, SAN DIEGO WATER RATES. Judge Torrance Overrules the Demurrer of the Land and Town Company in the Ward Case. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Jan, 16.—The case of Ella B. Ward vs. The San Diego Land and Town Company came up before Judge Torrance, of the Superior Court to-day. The plaintiff alleged that the company sought (o double charge for water rental under the Sweerwater system from $3 50 to $7 per acre. The defendant demurred to the complaint. Judge Torrance overruled the demurrer, holding that the $3 50 water rate under the company’s system was the actual rate established and collectea, wrich, under section 5 of the act of 1885, should be deemed the accepted legaliy blished rate. Doubling the water rate was unau- thorized. On the subject of the power of the water company to make contracts with consumers Judge Torrance saw noth- ing in the constitution or statutes to pro- hibit it, whether made before or alter the SBupervisors hud fixed rates. The decision is directly opposed to the famous decision of United States District Judge Ross some months ago, which was to the effect that the Supervisors must fix the rate each year to pay a fair interest on an investment. If the decision holas it will affect millions of doilars’ worth of property. sy 1URNER STILL IN THE LEAD, Status of the Senatorial Contest at Wash- ington’s Capitat. OLYMPIA, Wasn., Jan. 16.—The story 18 being circulated to-night, evidently by the Squire men, that Governor Rogers, Lieutenant-Governor Daniels, Attorney- General Winston, Congressman Jones, F. R. Baker of Tacoma and others have en- tered into a combination to elect Turner Senator, in consideration of Rogers’ elec- tion two years hence, which would make Daniels Governor. Baker wouid have the west side Con- gressional place and J. Hamilion Lewis wouid be shut out. This would leave King County with no representative. Tue Story is probabl sprung 1o cause King County to go soild for Squire, which it is not now doing. Speaker Cline has announced the chair- manships of the different committees. It is claimed by the free-siiver Republi- cans and some Populists that every ap- pointment kas been made in the interest of Cline for Senator. Cline is undoubtedly the strongest Populis ai presegt, Turner still leads and is acainst the field. Stren- uous efforts are being made to break his stroag hold and elect a Populist. SRk S G s Death Strikes in Gilroy. GILROY, CAL., Jan. 16.—Mrs. S8usan D. Skinner, a pioneer resident of this valley, died this morning. The deceased was the widow of the late Judge Henry C. Skinner, and crossed the plains with her husband in 1849. 8he was a native of Massachu- setts and 86 vears of age. Mre. Skinner arrived in this city with her husband in 1850.
