At such times there is always, of course, acute pain on account of the amputation, and the mind will naturally revert to tha portion of the body. “Not being accusiomed to attribute pain to a condition of affairs with which his mind is entirely unfamiliar, he naturaily sttributes it to the condition of affairs to which it is accustomed. 1In the case of Qualters, his limb would naturally feel peculiar to him. It would be painful, and it would be but natural for him to imagine that the limb was causing it. ‘When convinced that the limb is in a po- sition of comfort then his mind 1s at rest.

Boys and Girls Cross the Bay and Return as Husbands avd | Wives. | OAKLAND, CaL, April 7.—Frank Holt and Miss Mamie Land came from San | | Francisco to be married. They were ac- companied by Herman Brockman and Miss Katie O'Brien. As they walked up | and down Broadway, evidently rather reticent about going to the Clerk’s office, they attracted considerable attention as | tuey paraded two by two. After a while they asked the way to the County tlerk's office, and the four children, for they looked like school boys | and girls out for a picnic, were directed to | | the county buildings. Holt asked Deputy | | Cal Ewing for a license, and no sooner | | bad he spoken than Brockman very ab- ruptly said, “Me, too.”” This declaration | on the part of the latter was evidently a | surprise 10 everybody present except | | Katie O'Brien. "A little inquiry developed | the fact that while parading Broadway Herman and Katie had made up their | minds to follow the example of ¥Frank and Mamie, Everyihing being legal, and the young men ~wearing that the young laaies in| short dresses were 18 years of age, the licenses were granted, and a few min utes ter, amid giggling and joking, the quar- tet appeared before Judge Clift and were | duly joined in holy wediock.

The young men gave their ages as 21.and 24, and no- body would have taken them for being any older. After the ceremony the quar- et took the first train back to Ean Fran- cisco. —————— New Boulevard Planned.

Tie proposed road has already been surveyed and stak-d, and it is claimed it can be built for $5000. All Know Siiver. OAKLAND, Car, April 7.—George W. Silver, wbo is now in the San Francisco jail, is the same Silver that has been no- iorious on this side of the bay for many years. Some time ago he was convicted of forgery by Attorney Tappun of Ala- meda and sent across the bay. He was pardoned on the understanding that he leave the State. He ruffers from crippled jimbs and is well known by court habi- tues. Itis quitein keeping with his past character that he should have tried to prey on gullible individuais with stories of bank accounts and gold mines. Big Real Estate Movement. OAKLAND, CAL., April 7.—The former old farm known as Adams Point is to become a part of the residence part of Oakland. Its owners have at last decided | to subdivide it into vilia lots. This prop- | erty, near Lake Merritt, has been held for thirty years and its sale is one of the most active signs in the real estate market that bhas been noted for five years, greatly at variance as to leave soms parent but no real doubt. Myron Frost, manager of the Oaklan Lumiber Company, is confined to his bed with fearful injuries to his head, having been seriously beaten last Friday night in avery pecular manner. His face and eyes when seen to-night were black, blue and yellow from bruises, and it will be several days before he is able to getup. He received the beating outside the Ebell clubhouse and that structure still bears the stains from the cuts that were made on his head when he was being knocked against it by his assailants. Detective Williems has made a very complete investigation and has discovered the following facts: Several daysagoa young woman, said to be Miss May Gilli- gan, received an anonymous letter, asking herto meet the writer at the corner of Alice and Fifth streets. he was a little suspicious, but confided the affair to a young man with whom she was keeping company. He advised her to keep the appointment and promised to keep watch | with some friends and see that no harm beiell ber. On Friday night she was at the appointed place on time and found a gentleman there. Her newly made friend proposed a walk up to the Kbell building lot at Thirteenth and Harrison streets, which is owned by the proprietor of the lumber-mill where Mr. Frost is manager. On reaching the | building the man proposed that they pass \hrough a dark passage back of the bund- ing. The girl demurred, and her com- panion was about to use force when three young men came into view, and when the man struck one of them it was a signal for a general melee. The girl fled, and after teating her companion the three fellows took 10 their heels. The same night Mr. Frost was f fully beaten in the rear of the Ebell build- ing, but he denies ever seeing a girl there, or knowing anything about one. Mr. Frost lives in a comfortable home with his wife. When seen to-night he s am ealisfied that my assailants were old-time enemies. I could give two or thres co'umns of their history and then no oue would be any wiser. I have an impression of them in my mind, but none that I conld swear to.” 1 don’t want to place them on their guard by teliing them what 1 propose to do. That would not do. They are the same set that assaulted Mr. Reed four or five years ago. I knew they were aiter me. They did not mis- take me for some one else. I was simply doing a little job for Mr. Reed, measuring a window of his batlding for a screen.” “If Frost's story be true,” said Detective William ere must have been two men beaten at the back of the Ebell buildin, He bas told me that be was beaten by ruf- fiaris whom he would not recoznize and consequently that he cannot swear to war- rants against them. He first said he aid not see any one, and later confessed that he saw three men. The blows came from the front rather than the back. He de- nied that he made any outery or defended bimself, as it was all so suiden. His hat, found on the scene of action, torn in _two, shows how fierce the battle wss. I am perfectly satisfied that he has not toid me all heknows. People in the neighborhood beard a cry, bui as it wasnolL repeated they paid no further attention to it. We know all of the three assailants, and if Frost will not swear to the complaints we shall put his story down as lacking cre- dence.” Miss Gilligan adds to the mystery. She says she knows nothing about the &ffair, “Why do you come to me? I have only heard of it. I told Mr. Williams all I knew, I was at work both afternoon ana evening of that day. I1did not receive a le'ter to meet any one, and did not meet any one by appointment.” BURNED BY GAS. Fred Chelson’s Search for Cnused ay Explosion. OAKLAND, CaL, Avril 7.—Fred Chel- son was severely burned to-night at the Judson Iron Works by an explosion of petrolenm. Chelson is water-tender at the works, and e was engaged this even- ing in d ing off petroleum from the tank on a car into the tanks at the works. There was a lexk in the pipe and Chelson took a lamp to locate it. He founa it sooner than he expectea* and the escaping gas was igaited by the lamp. There war an explosion, and for a brief space Chelson, car and pipe were en- veloped in flames. As the man-hole was off the tank the flames were not confined, but could escape, and so very little dam- age wasdone. Chelsor was bronght to the receiving hospital and his hands, face and breast were found to be severely burned. He was avle to go home after his wounds were dressed. FIREMEN MUCH EXCITED. A New Law Making the Office of Chief Elective in Fifth-Cl a Leak ALAMEDA, CaL., April 7.—Ths volun- teer members of the Fire Department of this city are much wrought up this after- noon over the publication of a bill ap- proved March 1897, which provides that in cities of the fifth class, which is Alameaa’s rank, the Chief of the Fire De- partment shall be elected by the mem- bers, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees of the city. The joke lies in the fact that few or none knew that such a measure was before the last Legislature, much less that it was enacted and ap- proved. In Alamsda the Chief was al- ways elected until about a year ago, when to place greater responsibilities on his shoulders the oflice was made appointive, and Chief F. K. Krauth Jr. was named to suncceed himself. This was wuile a con- test was pending beiween him and Max Gundlach as to the result of the last pre- viously bheld election in February, 1896, when it was said that for that elgction company rolls were swelled with® men who never seriously intended to do fire duty, but were brought in to vote. Chief Krauth, who knew of the exist- ence of some measure affecting fire de- partments of cities of Alameds’s class, though having no knowledge of its pro- | visions, is inclined to believe from a read- | ing of the bill thet 1t doesaway altogether with tae paid members of the depart- ment, in that it refers onlv to volunteer companies and makes provision for the paid services of no one save the Cuief. He argues that it is fault varlous re- spects, not the least of which is the one that no tenure is prescribed for the Chief. Cnief Krauth says the effect of the bill bo in Alameda to relezate its dep ment 1o that of a rural community.

The injuries to Krug and Hennesey caused Berkeley’s standard to droop for a time, but with their return nopes of & successful series of contests against the Palo Alto players have been renewed. Wheeler of last year's team is certain of his place behind the bat. Kaarsburg will pitch in Saturday’s game against the Paio Alto nine and Sykes, his rival in the box, will hold down one of the outfieia positions. Hennessy will take his old place at first, though ghtly handicapped by his recent sprain, Captain Elston is a fixture at second and | King at third. McLaren at short, though erratic in the early past of the season, is again 10 form and will hold his old place. His batting is much better than last year. In fact, all the men have improved greatly under the tutelage of Notr, who has been making a speciaity of batting in his in- struction. The entire infield with the exception of Kaarsburg, who takes Mordeu’s place in the box, is made up of 96 Varsity players This fact is looked upon as being consider- able of an advantage for the Berkeley men. Several new men wili be found in the field clamoring for piaces on the team. Hoag is still the surest fielder, and he will probably stay at left, with Sykesat right. % Tor center field Foster, Hall, Proctor, Wilson and Chesebrough’ each seem to stand an equal chance of winning out. Hall 1s a likely man for this place, as he is a hard hitter and a good base, runner. The Berkeley men are depending for r success very iargely on their batting and the work of Kaarsburg in the box. th They claim to have a better pitcber than Stanford, and upon him and upon their work at the bat they base their hopes of success. e e OFFICIAL 'CHANGES. Ex-Editor Porter Would Like to Have Charge of the Strests OAKLAND, CAL, April 7.—Fire Chief Fuair presented charges to-day to the Com- missioners against W. B. Smith, foreman of chemical No. 1, who is at present under suspension, The Chief states that Smith is guilly of insubordination by causing the publication of an article retlecting on the Chief, and which he alleges is Getrimental to the discipline and welfare of the de- partment. In conclusion, Fair asked that Smith be dismissed. The board will try the charge next Saturday morning. The struggle for the Chief’s position is still being waged. This morning several firms sent in petitions that he be retained. William A. Townsend of West Oakland also sent in an application to be made chief of the department. F. R.
