Uran, 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 siamps on band, which was far short of the amount the books kept by McBride snowed. i % McBride wae arraigned, waived exami- nation and was held in $4000 bonds. He is very well connected and has influential relatives in Washington, D. C., and is a nephew of Senater McBride of Oregon. He has been living “high” and spending a good deal of money lately. e Church War at Tacoma, scribed and the establishment of a cream- ery in this place is assured. TACOMA, WasH., Jan. 16.—The male lmambers of the First Baptist Church of female members of the tlock.

The women remain true to their idol, however, and a split in the congregation is threatened. dsr il THE IDABU DEADLOCK, Dubois Makes Mo Gains on the Sixth Ballot for Senator, BOISE, Iparo, Jan 16.—T..e sixth ballot for United States Senator, taken to-day in the Legislature of this State, resulted 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 bave 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 a while, 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 Sweetwater system from $3 50 to $7 per acre. The defendant demurred to the complaint. Judge Torrance overruled the demurrer, holding that the $350 water rate under the company's system was the actual rate established and collectea, wiich, under section 5 of the act of 1885, should be deemed the accepted legaliy established 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 after the Bupervisors had fixed rates. The decision is directly opposed to the famous decision of United States District Judge Ross some months ago, which was A . property. LGNS 1URNER STILL IN THE LEAD, Status of the Senatorial Contest at Wash- ington’s Capitat. OLYMPIA, WasH., 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 would have the west side Con- gressional place and J. Hamilion Lewis wouid pe shut out. This would leave King County with no representative. Ti.e story is prubnbliy sprung to cause King County to go solld 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-silver Republi- cans and some Popuiists t every ap- pointment kas been made in the interest of Cline for 8enator. Cline is undoubtedly the strongest Populist at present, Turner Death Strikes in Gilroy. GILROY, CAL., Jan. 16.—Mrs. Susan D. Skinner, a pioneer resident of this valley, died this morning.
