Men Required to Go On lecord Regarding Total Abstinence. OAKLAND, CaL, Jan. 26.—The em- ploves of the Oakland Consolidated Rail- being confronted with a pledge v regard very much as being a It binds the signer to abstain from intoxicating liquor at all times, never to enter a saloon, and con- cludes with a clause by which the em- T agrees that to be seen coming out of asaloon shal! bea sufficient grouna for dismissal. The pledge has been presented to the men for several days, but up (o the pres- ent time not more than a dozen have signed it out of fully 120 employed on the a mear Streetear road. The carmen feel that their posi- tions depend cn signing the pledge, and | that the moral of the whole businessis “sign or make room for somebody else.” | The secretary of the road says there is | no compulsion about the matter. ‘‘The pledge was started,” be said, “‘for the pur- pose of seeing how many tofal abstainers | we had in our employ and how many would be wiliing to sign. The men who | sign it will not gain anything by so doing | and the man who does not sign will be in no danger of losing his job.” | The "Consolidated road has always | boasted of having the most steady em- ployes in the city, and ex-Superintendent Grim used to take a personal interest in nis men. There is a Cnristian Endeavor | Society among them, a Y. M. C. A.| h, both of which are well attended, the men are noted for their sobriety and attention to daty. Itis considered a_piece of coercion to | present the pledge and the carmen are unanimous in the opinion that so far as signing it is concerned it isa kind of Hob- choice.

WILL PRESERVE SILENCE Ebell Directors Will Pay No Attention to Fairy Tales, OAKLAKND, CAL., Jan. 26.—The Ebell Society directors held a meeting this morning and decided that, so far as the complaints recently made are concerned, they will preserve a dignified silence. There was perfect unanimity at the meeting, and the directors decided that, as there was nothing wrong, there was consequently no explanation necessary. It was the sense of the board that the best way to silence those who are trying to cre- ate dissension would be to take no notiee whatever of them. Although the difficulty has been treated in this manner, it is the general opinion of the mgjority that the Ebell Society Will soon = have to decide for itself whether it shall be a literary or a social organization. his question is really at the bottom of the present misunderstanding and there are many who think that the society is drifting away from its_original purpose. They declare unhesitatingly that the lit- | of the preliminary debates for places on | the Carnot debating trio will take place to-morrow evening at Stiles Hall. The | | question is: *‘Resclved, that for the wel- | | fare of France as a nation a decentralized | | system of education is the best adopted.” The speakers will be Carver '97, Dannen- baum '98, Fryer '99, Henderson 97, E. J. Marks (Law), A. C. Marks (Law), Son, | and Overstreet. Three of the eight men mentioned will be selected to debate | against the Stanford team for the medal | | on_February 14. Soventeen entries in all have tried for a place on the aebate, nine of whom were | dropped out at the preliminary last Wednesday evening. Republicans Meet. BERKELEY, CAL., Jan. 26.—The Re- | Central Committee met last night to discnss the organization of the party for the coming municipal election | and the calling of primaries. A com- mittee of one representative from eacn | ward was appointed to settle the question | of how many de ezates shall be in the | convention and when the primary election | shall be held. | The committee consists of Captain J. C. Morrison, Judge William Lair Hill, 8. H. Berkheim, J. Craig, Captain Ayer, John | Ryder and John Gress. 1t was decided that the primaries should be teld about February 15. The commit- tee will meet again on ‘Thursday evening. Dr. Jordan to Lecture.

There will | be patriotic exercises on that day, and Mr. | Hasting will deliver a speech. | | | | | DICK OVERLY, over the result of his sacrifice to relieve ister's injuries as any little hero can Nearly a year ago his sister met with an accident with one of the ironing ma- chines in the laundry, and was so burned that it became necessary if she were to be proverly healed, and have the use of her | hands, that some one should give enough flesh and skin from tneir hvine body to | graft over 'the girl’s wounds. No sooner did litile Dick, who was then 11 years of age, hear of his sister’s plight than he at once made up his mind to give that which alone could ail her. ‘The girl’s father at tirst offered to let the necessary flesh be taken from his arm, but as this would take him from his work for some time the offer of little Dick was ac- cepted. He went out to the hospital like a little hero and the physician took the necessary material from his leg and for a | time brotnher and sister remainea at Fabi- | ola. It took him a long while 1o recover from his sacrifice, but several months have passed now snce he was able to re- turn to his studies in the Lincoln School. | His smster’s hand has thorougnly re- covered, zithough it will be a long time before it regains its former strencth, and consequently she will be provided with an easy class of work for some time. Little Dick reters with pride to his suf- fering for the sake of his sister and says | that although the ordeal did hurt bim somewhat, the satisfaction he now has from seeing his sister able o use her hand i more than recompenses him. Franchise Percentage. OAKLAND, Cav., Jan, 26.—The Oakland and Berkeley Rapid Transit Company was granted a Iranchise for an electric line for a quarter of 1 per cent of gross earnings DR. MYRA KNOX. MRS, SA RAH C. BORLAND. THE LADY WHO ACCEPTED AND THE LADY WHO REFUSED. - OAKLAND, Car, Jan. 26.—The Populist City Central Committee is somewhat disconcerted over the resignation of Mrs. Sarah C. Borland, who was nominated for School Director. The precedent for ladies serving on official boards in Oakland was set two vears ago, when Dr. Myra Knox was elected to the School Board after being nominated by the Non- Partisans. Mrs. Boriand isan active worker, and is president of the City Political Equality Society, and would probably have been elected. She gives no reason for declining the nomination. Dr. Myra Knox, who was recently nominated by the Republican Convention for School Director at Large, h: accepted the nomination, and will without doubt be re-elected. At different times she has acted as president of the Board of Education, and is one of the most indefatizable of workers. erary atmosphere of the Ebell Temple has been vitiated by the miasma of social gos- sip and that the idea of mutual self-cul- ture of a classical nature is being gradu- ally dispelled. Mrs. President Bunnell declares that out of the 425 members there are not more dissatisfied ones than she can counton | ber finzers, and consequently she will not deign to acknowledee that their attemot to make the club appear notorious is worthy of the smallest consideration, and there is no doubt that a vast majority of theclub is in harmony with the president. —_————— MAYNARD WINS, The Reliance Club Gives a Successful Entertainment. OAKLAND, OaL, Jan. 26.—The Reli ance Club gave an amateur boxing enter- tainment at their rooms to-night. There were six preliminary events of three | rounds each and two of four rounds for a decision. The preliminaries were as follows: T. Williams (Reliance) vs. Kennedy (Reli- ance), Roy Willlams (unattached) vs. E. Kirzhner (Reliance), J. Smoother (Oak- land Athletic Club) vs. C. Keeley of the same institution, Charles Cathcart (Oak- land) vs. Jack Scott (Acme), Ned Omalia (unattached) vs. Jack Davis, Charles Tye (Acme) vs. Lou Agnew (Acme), Cain (Manhattan) vs. Riordan (Reliance).

Beck, Reliance, and James Feeley, Reliance, also boxed for four rounds, and Beck was declared the winner. —————— REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE. W. W. Foote May Be the Democratic Choice for Mayor. OAKLAND, CaL, Jan. 26.—The Repub: lican City Central Committee elected at last week’s convention has organized. George L. Williams of the Seventh Ward is cuairman , M. D. Merritt of the Fourth secretary and A. W. Bishop retains his ermanent job of assistant _secretary. eorge 8. Meredith of the Third Ward is treasurer. A meeting has been called for next Saturday night, at which ail the nominees will attend and the plan of campaign will be discussed and the financial part of the business will receive due attention. It was announced to-day that if W. W. Foote will accept the Democratic nomina- tion for Mayor it will be unanimously tendered him. Matthew Charles Nunan of the Third Ward is announced as an independent candidate for Councilman. —————— Pletz Is in Luck. OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 26.—F. W. Pletz of Livermore was discharged to-day by Judge Clift_on a charge of bigamy. ~The Juage ruled that Pletz's first wife could not testify against him, and without her evidence the prozecution could not make out a case. Pletz’ssecond wife is so confi- dent that her husband really believed that his divorce from his first wife had been eranted that she cinnot possibly be per- suaded to say a word against him. Con- sequently, there is no evidence on which to make the charge stand. ——————— Stand by Thelr Pastor.

C. Nordhausen Suffocated From Internal Hem- orrhage. He Is Thought to Have Been Shot Outside the Bald- win Hotel Strange Reply to a Death-Bod Ques- tien—Dr. Taylor on the Wounds. Police at Work. Charles C. Nordhausen, the Oakland capitalist, who was taken from his room in the Baldwin Hotel last Monday morn- ing to St. Luke's Hospital, suffering from a bullet wound in the left breast and another wound in the forehead over the right eye, died at the hospital at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The bullet punétured the lungs, as they were filled with clotted blood, and he died of suffo- cation despite all that could be done to relieve him and save his life. Certain circumstances at the Baldwin Hotel and a statement made by Mr. Nord- hausen at the hospital, after he was told he was going {o die, have thrown & mys- terlous light upon the case, and given rise to suspicions that, instead of accidentally shooting himself, as he stated, Nordhausen was shot by some one else. The police have been made acquainted with the details and Detective Whitaker is investigating the affair. Nordhausen left his home in Oakland last Saturday, telling his wife he was going to Randsburg, where he was interested in some mining properties. For some rea- son, known only to himsel?, he did not go to Randsburg, but went to the Baldwin Hotel Szturday night and engaged a roorz. It is said that he had then been drinking, and the story from this point on is about as already published. It is not known where he spent Saturday night, but all day Sunday he was in his room, and fre- quently rang for drinks. He was not noticed when he came in Saturday night, and the time of his return isnotsknown. Sunday he frequently rang up bell- boys, ordered liquor and was liberally supplied with it by the drink and by the bottle. He had the appearance on Sun- day of having been on a heavy debauch. The bellboy also found the gas turned on, but not lighted. When Nordhausen’s at- tention was cailed to it he said he did not care a blank if it was turned on. When hs called a boy about 7 o'clock Monday morning he said he had shot him- self and demarded to be removed at once to the hospital. The manager of the hotel and Dr. W. E. Taylor, who lives at the Baldwin, went to the room to give what aid they could. Nordhausen told the doctor that he had -accidentally shot himself while dressing at 2 o’clock that same morning. He declined to be treated at the hotel and insisted on being removed at once to St. Luke’s. Dr. Taylor made a brief ex- amination, despite Nordhausen’s protests, to sce whéther he was in danger of dying while on the way to the hospital, and, finding no immediate danger, thouzh the patient’s pulse was high and feeble, indi- cating a hemorrhage somewnere, an am- bulance was summoned and in a little while Nordhausen was where he wanted 10 be—in the hospital. It was only after Nordhausen’s death that surmises began to be made and appa- rently unreconcilable circumstances fto develop. Dr. Taylor said last evening, when asked about the condition of the wounds when he was first called to see the patient between 7 and 8 o'clock Monday morning, that they looked to him to be much more than six hours old. He said he thought at the time, from the examination he made, thatthe wounds were inflicted long before 2 o’clock in the morning, which was the time Nordhausen said he had accidentally shot himself. He said the blood in the wound in the fore- nead was very dry and had the general appearance of having been inflicted twenty- four hours before. THo bullet wound near the left nipple had also bled profusely, and it had caked and dried into Nordhausen’s undershirt. The doctor thought also that this wound was aged more than six hours. There was a slight burn around the bullet wound in the breast, indicating that the weapon had been fired close to the body. From the looks of the gash 1n the fore- head it was impossible to tell whether it was made by a bullet or some other blunt instrament. When asked what he thought about the case, Dr. Taylor refused to in- dulge in any sirmises. Dr. C. M. Armistead attended Nordhau- sen at the hospital. Yesterday aiternoon he told Nordhausen that he had but a short time to live and asked if he had any wiord to leave in regard to his property or other matters. Nordhausen replied that his affairs were in good shape and he had nothing to say. Dr. Armistead then asked him: *“Who was the woman who shot you?" Nordhausen cast a glance at the cian and said, in feeble tones: mind about that; it’s done now."” A few minutes later he became con- scious, talked ramblingly about mines and Randsburg and did not regain conscious- ness before he died. He had a touch of delirium tremens Monday night. The manager of the Baldwin told Deputy Coroner McCormick and Detective Whitaker that he thought that Nord- hausen’s wounds had ben inflicted outside the hotel. Circumstances which indicate this ara that Nordhausen had a bandage around his head on Sunday and the bell boy said he leaned to one side when he moved or walked as though he was suffer- ing pain in that side. e body ‘ws removed yesterday atter: noon first to the Morgue and thence to an undertaker's. A post-mortem examina- tion of the remains will be held to-day. Nordhausen is said by a relative not to have been a drinking man. He wes all right if he took only one drink of liquor, but he became in a manner wild if be took two drinks, E Mrs. Nordhausen called at the hotel and hospital yesterday afternoon for the few personal effects and trinkets, including s diamond ring and a watch, which the de- ceased left. At the time of his death he had $4 50 on his person, and is said to have started for Randsbure with consid- erably more money. Mrs. Nordhausen, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bonnichsen, are about prostrated with grief. Bhe has three children. Detective Whitaker said at a late hour last night that, from the investigations ne had made so far, he was inclined to think it a case of accidental shooting. hysi- “Never Daylight Burglary.
