OAxLAND OFricE Sax Fraxcrsco CALL,% 908 Broadway, April 10. The trouble in the Fire Department is | over for the present. There was a trial !‘ this morning and the suspended engineer, W. B. Smith, failed to impress the Com- missioners with the truth of the charges about Chie: Fair that Le told to an even- ing newspaper reporter two weeks ago. Engineer Smith could not prove to the satisfaction of the board that Chief Fair had spent one niglhit tending bar in a San Francisco saloon when he shoold have been on duty in the Oak!and Fire Depart- ment; neither was he able to substantiate the other charge that Chief Fair, whois far from being a homely man, had been | guilty of flirting when driving around in his little red buggy. When the Commissioners had read the complaint of Chief Fair, ing for the dismissal of Smith, the newspaper article that had caused all the trouble was intro- duced 1n evidence. It sounded very differ- ently when read by Secretary Thomas from what it did when told by the un- lucky enginver to the newspaper men. Atter the reading of the article the man who had been the innocent canse of all | the rumpus was called to the witness- stand. This was George F. Hatton, and | he toid the story of how & friend on Broad- way stopped bim and told bim there was a falling out between Chief Fair and En- gineer Smith, Hatton stated further that ne called on Smith a% the engine-house, | and the engineer told him everything that he published. Chief Fair took a hand at cross-examin- ing Mr. Hatton. The Chief is evidently new to newspaper work, for after Mr. Hat- ton had stated that the story as published was exactly the eame as his copy he sug- gested to the witne-s that he meant the | priuted article was a copy of wuat- was written, and Mr. Hatton suavely said y -s. Attorney Nusbaumer made a neat little appeal to the boara and stated that Chief Fair bad said he would ‘“‘break” Smith, and the attorney alsostated that Fair had bronght these charges so as to nullify Smith’< prospects of becoming the head | of the Fira Department. Mavor Thomas then took a hand, He aid that il the Chi f made threats to break'’ a man be should have preferred GEORGE F.

THE ' KLEUPFER OASE. ‘Why His Relatives Believe the Double Murderer Was Insane. ALAMEDA, CavL, April 10.—Henry J. nephew of C. F. Kieunfer, who committed suicide in jail at Stockton while awaiting trial on the charge of murdering two men at New Hope last month, tells a dif- ferent story from that given in the dis- paiches about the dead man's disposition of his esiate and iis arrangement with his attorneys. He says: The facts are these: Four days before he took his life my uncle gave the check to his brother, saying, “Tais is for you, aud all I want 10'do is to make & fair settiement with Bwinnerton.’ Now, then, it seems to me that the attorney ought o be 'satisfied. I was present when he was puid $300 for e fee to attend the case of my uncle—not a8 4 retainer, but for the case, and $300 is a whole lot of money in trese dass. And what did he do? All he did was to attend the preliminary exemination. Tnotice, also, that Swinnerton swore before Juage Budd that as far as known the deceased had no relatives living in this State, and for that resson had the Public_Administrator taken charge of the estate. This statement was made in the face of the knowledge that he the first place she should have bee:; piaced | Kleupfer, a resident of this city, and a| charges with the Commissioners. *In this case,”’ said the Mayor, “‘there was a storm brewing and it broke oar. Engineer Smith’s attorney tried to save him with a novel plea. He said it would doubtless have been beiter for Smith to have told ‘the reporter he had nothing to say, but that was only an error of judg- ment on his part sud therefora Smith had not ‘‘caused the publication” of the article. After hearing the evidence the Comm is- | sioners retired, and in about twen'y min- utes they decided that Smith had at least been somewhat indiscreet and suspendec him for twenty days from April 1. Before the tweaty days are up it is notall un- likely vhat a successor to Chief Fair wili have been elected. 1. Francis de Sales Beaten.

OAKLAND, Car., April 6.—Manager Mark Thrall of the Macdonough Theater, who has returned from managing the Georgia Cayvan Comnany in all the South- ern cities from New Orleans, says that the custom of removing the bat by ladies during playss r gidly becoming common. “The custom is becoming almost univer- sal,” he said to-day, ‘‘and is certainly appreciated by the batronsof the tnea- ters. Iam glad to see thecustom increas- ing, and I am sure all other managers fe 1 the same. Since I left Oakland, two months ago, it has become much more common in my own theater, and last night I was surprised to see the number of ladies Result of the Recount, Which Ended as It Began. crooked work inside the booth by those who heiped incapacitated persons to mark their ballots, have fallen to the ground and it has been demonstrated a second time that the recent election was perbaps one of the straightest, as regards the work of officials, that has ever taken place in this city. ‘When the result of the recount was an- nounced it showed that Mayor Thomas had been elected by a piurality of 87 votes. This 1s about a dozen less than was given him by the official returns. In the sensa- tional complaint filed on bebalf of ex- Mayor Davie it was alleged that in many precincts more than this number of votes were known to have been tallied for Thomas that should have been called for Davie. There is no doubt that the people Who made these allegations were acting on what they considered to be reliable authority. It is now just as certain that their anthority was entirely unreliable. After the election ex-Mayor Davie is- sued a statement in which he declared that Le was perfectly satistied with the re- sult, and that he considered the closeness of the vote a vindication of his policy for the past two vears. He refused to believe all the storie« of fraud and irregularities, and stated that he would not pay 1 cent towar i a recount. Men who had bet heavily on the elec- tion took the matter ap, and after they had drawn up a complaint Mr. Davie wa induc-d to sign it, remarking as he did so that as long as other citizens wanted to have a recount he would not do anything to prevent ii. He has not, however, put up & dollar of the expenses, and has all along declared that he wouid not do so. As shown by the argumens to-day, the attorneys for the contestants expected to win their case by the court refusing to ac- cept the returns from several whole pre- cinct<. Judge Hall; however, declined to admit that there was any foundation for setting aside the will of the people, as shown conclusively by the ballots, because of a doubtfut irregularity which could not be proved to have been intentional on the part of an election officer. After all the disputed ballots were passed upoa by the court the returns showed that Duvie had received 2948 and Thomuas 3035, a plurality tor the Mayor of 87, Everybody is satisfied that the election returns were counted with correctness. A week ago there was & contest over the Councilman of the First Ward, and a total recount showed oniy a difference of four votes from the official returns. ACTIVE OCOMMITTEES.

He Is Believel to Have Been a Con- vict or Criminal of Some Kind. ALAMEDA, CaL, April 10.—A queer discovery has been made in connection with the suic:de of the man calling him- self “C. Johnson,” who killed himselfin a cell in the City Jail the other nigntby turning on the gas. For some reason the officers did not believe that Johnson was his real name, and in searching for some clew toit the name of “G Muller’ was found scratched on the wall of the fatal cell. Bomaone also recognized the man as one Miller, who had at one time been employed as an engineer at the artestan- well works. So the Coroner’s jury, after listening to the evidence and the sur- mises, brought in a verdict that deceased was pamed G. Muller, and he was accord- ingly buried under that name. Now it transpires tuat G. Muller is none other than the San Francisco clam-d gzer who filled a Ch nl?l 0 with buckshot over near Bay Farm Isiand a week or so #go and who was locked up in the cell where Johnson afterward killed himself, «nd while there must have whiled away his time scribbling his name on the wall. The officers are inclined to believe that Johnson was an_escaped convict or crim- insl of some kind and was airaid of bein, recognized should he come to tria Hence they have had photos mude and sent out.over the State in order to obtain some clew as to the suicide’s identity.

OAKLAND, Car., April 10.—The Ala- meda County Teachers’ Benefit Associa- tion met at the hich school this morning to discuss the teachers’ annuity act. Superintendent McClymonds said that the teachers ought to take legal advice | concerning the provisions of the bill in order to go ahead in safety. He thought public sentiment was opposed to pension- ing teachers. He said: “The minute the public pays into the fund it means a pen- sion, but when we pay it is an annuity. Under the bill the teacher gots what we pay the substitute. Ishould favot that if anytbing by a teacher’s absence it should go to the annuity fund.” A discussion arose as to the election of teachers and Mr. McClymonds surprised several of those presernt by saying that the city charter does not provide that all teachers shall be elected annually. It is this annual election with the consequent knowleage thata teacher cannot depend on being retained in the department long enough to insure a pension tbat is the cause of anxiety.
