Upon approeching Sixteenth-street sta- tion the Berkeley trains take a local track about 400 yards from the station. It wi at this point that the accideht happened. One hundred yards from the depot is situated tower 4 from which all of the switches are handled by means of com- pressed air. A signal post with sema- phores and signal lights is situated 200 yards south of this, nearer the mole. The tower man is supposed to give the local trains a clear signal and allow them to run in upon the local track clear of the main line. For some unexplained reason the Berkeley local, consisting of engine and three cars, was stopped at the sema- phore. The Sunset limited was only three linutes behind it and before the former ad fuliy stopped the latter was upon it. Engineer Carroll of the lim ted applied his air brakes and reversed the engine, but it was too late to save a collision. T'he rear car of the Berkeley train was crasbed all to pieces. The rear trucks were thrown 10 one side of the track and the reaf part of tne coach split into tooth- - pieks. meda avenue and she was waiting for him on the corner. The woman says she married Gay about seven yeas after her first husband died, and six hours afier the marriage he showed himself in his true colors. She lived with him, she says, for five months, and then he left her and came West. The woman says he has been married at least twice since he left her, and she is going to try to have h‘lim pllnced under arrest., Gay secured a license on January 9 to wed Miss Mary Gafford of Sacramento, aged 19. They are now living at the ad- dress given. B Mme. Nord ca Coming, OAKLAND, CaAL, Jan. 19.—The musi cal and social eventof the week will be the appearance of Mme.

OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadw y, Jan. 19. Never was a Republican convention con- ducted with more dispaich or decorum than that which closed to-night. Colonel H. D. Talcott proved to be a chairman as full of humor as of executive ability. and when the delegates were not euniogizing or voting they were kept laugh- ing. The finding of a bad dollar in the as- Captain W. R.

We | recognize the condition of our public sireets as one of the main factors affecting the growth and prosperity of tnis city, and we indorse the plan now being considered by the City Council fir classitying the same into main thoroughfares, business streets and residence and_we recommend that our City Council provide adequate means and facilities for a systematic course of repairs and main- tenance of ex'sting improyements, and that ways and means be immediately devised for the reconsiruction of our worn-out main thoroughinres and business streets. Third—We are unanimously opposed to a dismissal or any compromise of the Onkland water front suits now pending in the Supreme Court of California and demand of each and every verson whose name mav be presented to this convention as a nominating body & defi- nite expression in connection with this resolu- tion. We earnestly favor municival control of the water f ont and for that reason oppose all legislation designed 10 place its manage- mentin the bands ot the State or of any com- mission eppointed by the State. Fourth—We view with satisfaction the de- feat of the “Powers funding bill” in the House of Rerresentatives, and espeecially commend our Representative, Hon. 5. G. Hilborn, for his opposition thereto. We declare ourselves unalterably opposed to any setilement of the | Pacific Railroad debts other than that pro- | vided for by the present laws of the United States, Fifth—We belleve that all corporations shou!d be made to strictly conform to ail laws and ordinances governing the ety for the benefit of the people, that they must keep out of politics and not seek to control party nom- inations or the action of municipal officers to the detriment of the people and tne pubiic good, and we therefore condemn all efforts on the part of county officers or other person or corporation to obtain, influence or control in | municipa! offic:s for tneir own ends. | Sixth—We believe in the sirict and rigid | regulation of the liquor traffic to the end that | the business may be confined as far as possible | to responsible parties and we pledge our gomi- | nees for the Council to make strict investiga- | tion of such permits in the residence portions | of the community and to summary closing and removal of saloons in residence districts | where protests are filed against them. | Seventh—We believe that the present policy | of dividing the fire hydrants between the two water companies is against_pubiic safety, and | we instruct our nominees for the Council, if elected, to alternaie the fire hydrants between the two companies, that in the event ol fire the city may have the full benefit of the sery- ices of bo.h companies, and will have the service of one in the event of the disabling of the other. Eigh'h—We believe in retaining all compe- tent nnd honest public employes as a reward for conscientious service, and for that reason we favor a discontinuance of annual elections of public schoolteachers with a view of insur- ing them their positions during their effi- clency and good behavior. Lasty—We. pledge our party and its nomi- nees to a generous policy of public improve- ments, carefully mansged rnd conducted upon business principles, that the peopie’s money shail not be squandered upon ill-conceived enterprises badly supervised, and with none to assume the responsibility. The following resolution was then in- troduced and read by G. D. Gray: The Republican party believes that the right of majorities to rule is unquestioned, and (0 this end it pledges its nominees fot Mayor and Council in event of their election, and in case a majority of the electors of this city voting on the question express them- selves at the coming municipal election as favorable to closing on Sundays places where spirituous or malt liquors or fermented wines are now sold, to immediately put i force an ordinance to that effect. A tribute to Colonel E. D. Baker was adopted by a rising vote indorsing the bill introduced in the Legislature of Ualifor- nia_at its present session by Hon. James A. Waymire in the House and by Hon, F. 8. Biratton in the Senate to appropriate $15,000 for the erection of a monument or siatue in Golden Gate Park to commem- orate his memory and deeds.

He was put forward by J. A. Standeford, and as he was not present there was but little en- thusiasm shown. For the office of Treasurer N. 8. Douglas, Z. T. Gilpin and George Chase were nomi- nated and the vote showed Gilpin 92, Douglas 32, Chase 22. Mr. Douglas caused a chegr to rise by going on the platform with an American l | Ward, Cnarles 8.

Students of Municipal Government Would Like to See It Used in Every Cty. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 19, Auditor Snow has adopted the plan formulated by Professor F. R. Clow, an Kastern profess r, in making out his most recent municipal report. It is the ticed, and shows more at one glance than it is usual to fina in municipal reports after several hours' study. Instead of a multitude of small ac- counts, Mr. Snow has divided the city's expenditures into seven heads. They are as follows: Maintenance of the city gov- ernment, public safety, public conven- ience, care of certain classes, higher ob- jects, quasi-private undertakings, payment of bonded debt and interest. “Itis the purpose of this report,” said Mr, Stow, “to set forth in the simplest man- ner the income of the city and the cost of every department for the last fifty years. Few complexities will be found, salaries, repairs and new construction appearing in the department to which they beiong, and clearness has not in any case been sacri- ficed for administrative or any other reason. “The hope has been expressed by stu- dents of municipal finance tnat the form of report used by the city of Oukland since 1889 will be adopted by ali the cities of the United States, and also that asummary of the expenditures be added for the purpose of comparison. The plan of this sum- mary has been the subject of considerable study, and I have concluded to follow in rt Wagner of Germany and Professor E‘:adarick R. Ciow of the United States.”” ‘A recapitulation of the city’s expenses under the heads already mentioned gives the following figures, the ‘‘extraor- dinary”" column indicating' amounts not needed for the ordinary conduct of the various departments: R e Maintenance of 18 city dinary, sover .ment. $59.50440 8,390 65 Public safety. 167,981 88 3,439 60 Public couven 139,184 54 21,516 73 Cate of certain classe 4,2.8 48 10 00 H gher atlcors; ‘SEBAT78 99,438 88 Juagi-private pinis . i LTS Bsses aym ebt and interest 97,20825 82,000 00 Totals $498,500 06 $102,028 28 Paid fro) county funds for the additional suppors of schools. ..$180,638 32 88,785 55 Totals... ....8079.088 58 §110,708 83 Ordinary expenditures. $679,038 38 : dinary expendi- AT o rovsss 110,768.83 .....8789,852 21 L .- Married the Postmistr OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 19.—Miss Beebe, who is employed as_postmistress and tele- phone operator in Mr. Richardson’s store at Alvarado, to-day came to this city in company with Mr. Richardson, and with- Total... | ful, and he climbed up into a tree irom out giving their friends any warning they were married. tention till they returned to Alvarado.

To!d Remarkab e Tales About Rivals Who Were Attempting to Ruin Him. 0AKLAND OFFICE 8aN FrANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Jan. 19. A. Tompkirs, who claims to be the pro- moter of a patent for laying streetcar tracks, has been operating in Fruitvale, and a number of men who have been working for him would like to' know his present location. The promoter made use of business cards which stated that he was the sole Califor- nia agent for the Wooley patent fishplate and bolt and obtained permission from the Haywards Electric Railroad to place some of his bolts on a section of their road at Fruitvale, After putting the bolts and plates in po- sition Tompkins hired half a dozen men, half of whom watch by day and the other balf by night. They were told that there was a conspiracy on foot to injure these plates in such a manner as to make them appear of no vaine. Each watchman was secretly instructed to keep watch on his neighbor, and was given to undersiand that his fellow-watchers had been bought to stand in with a rival company and work an injury to the Tompkins patent. At all hours of the night Tompkins would disguise himself ana go down to the tracks for the puopose of seeing whether his men were on duty. On sev- eral occasions his men were so conscien- tious that Tompkins, who had started to meddle with the fishplates, was quite roughly handled before his watchmen were convinced of his identity. On an another occasion Tompkins went down at night to see if his men were faith- where he could watch. While up the tree he fell asleep ana tumbled to the ground, and some of his watchmen picked him up. After this kind of business had been kept up for a week the men wanted their pay, and at this juncture Mr. Tompkins seems to have taken a trip to some other city, for he cannot be found, although ! Deputy Constable Robinson has visited all the places where Tompkins would be | likely to be. A. L. Stone, secretary of the Haywards road, said to-day that their superintend- ent, Gustafson, had given Tomkins per- mission to lay some fishplates as an exjeriment on their track at Fruitvale, Nothing was paid him for his trouble, and | the company aid not bind itseif to do any business with Tompkins. On account of his connection with a firm which was important enough to make | experiments and pay for a small crowd of watchmen, Thompkins' credit was very | good, and according to Constable Robin- | son lie appr ciated his standing and 100k advantage of it. He has not yet turned up, and those watchmen go down at night to watch tnose plaies no more. They are now diligently watching for Tompkins’ return. | DURRELL A WITNESS. He Is Asked to Tell Whether Unda’s Saloon Was Kept Open Too Late. BERKELEY, Car., Jan. 19.—Marshal Lloyd’s campaign against Saloon-keeper Unda of West Berkeley developed a new and startling sensation to-day, when it was found that Lloyd had summoned as a witness in the case G. G. Durrell, Trustee of Ward 5. The Marshal is endeavoring to prove | that Unda committed perjury in swearing | that his saloon was never kept open after midnight. Berkeley bas an ordinance | prohibiting such establishments from doing business after that hour. It is said | that Durrell wasone of the atter-midnight | customers of Unda, and he was called by | Lioyd to teill what he knows about the hours kept by the saloon man. Durrell is one of the Trustees who framed the ordinance regulating liquor establishments. He has represented the Fifth Ward of West Berkeley since :he‘ last election. | The Vaceination Fight. BERKELEY, CArn, Jan. 19.— Health Officer Rowell and School Director Norton | have foug t out their battle over the | matter of vaccination and, after mutual | withdrawals of statements attributed to | them, peace reigns. The Health Officer addressed a letter to | the Board of Education, in which he ex- pressed his opinion of the Lorin member in no uncertain words. He said: “It is apparent that a statement of this sort, coming from an opponent of vac- cination, 1s offered in little short of a malicious and contemptible spiri:, and is characteristic of that class of carping ob- structionists who view life from a 15-cent standpoint and place at defiance laws passed by the State and regarded by many people of common sense as beneficial.”” Mr. Norton told of reports that had come to his ears which he thought justi- fied his assertions. The board -again decided that it had no option but to enforce vaccination, and all pupils in the public schools will have to take the smallpox prevention, except such as are likely to be injured thereby. " New School Director. BERKELEY, Car., Jan, 19.—The resig- nation of Georgs A. Norton, School Direc- tor of the Fifth Ward, has been accepted by the Board of Elucation. J. 8.

WHICH (URED HIM AFTER EVERY- THING ELSE FAILED, Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous wenkness the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There isnoletup to the mental suffering day or night. Sieep is almost impossible, and under such strain men ae scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was 8 question whether he had not Detter take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles, ~But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of & combination of medicines that not only completely restored | the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to patural size and vigor, and | he now declares that any man who wil 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 1o get the beaefit of my experience. Iem 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 once could they but get such a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not iry to study out how I _can afford to pay the few postage-stmps necessary to mail the information, but sead for it ana learn that there are & few things on earih that, although they cost nothing to get, are worth a fortune to some men and mean a life- time of happiness to mostof us. Write to Thomas Slater, box 2283, Kaiamazoo, Mich., and the information wiil be mailed in a plain sealed envelope. OCEAN TRAVEL. { LA BOURGOGN’ AUCTION SALE.
