Thomas Post, G. A. R. Since the memorable contest between General W. . L. Barnes and Colonel J. G. Giesting for the honor of commanding George H. Thomas Post No. 2 there has | been a monotony of peace in Grand Army circles of San Francisco. The peace bas now terminated. There are in the field for commander of Thomas Post—J. Marray Bailey and Wil- liam E. Lutz J. Murray Bailey, the senior vice-com- | mander, has an excellent military record. | | He enlisted in the Eighth New York Ar- tillery early in 1863 to serve for three years. At the end of his enlistment he was under eighteen years of ag=. -He par- ticipated in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor and other noted engagements of the great campaign. In the battle of Cold Harbor his right arm was shatter~d by a bullet. The surpeons two candi- | | decided not to amputate and s> hisarm, which was rendered useless for work, was not lost.

He is a mining engineer by protession and came to San Francisco eighteen years ago. Wilham E. Latz, who was placed in re- nemination bv many comrades of the post, becauss thev pelieved his proeressive ener- gies and abilities would advance the or- zation, has a war record of which he may be proud. He seryad under the flag n land ana sea. In Jane, 1863, he en- ed in the Twentv-second Regiment, ew York State Militia, and served through the Pennsylvania campaion and the New York riots. In Marcn, 1864 he joined the navy and was sent to the West Gulf Squadron, where he servod under Farragut in the capture of Mobue. He was on the steamer Port Royal when that ship and the Metacomet captured the Confederate gunboat Selma. Rear-Admira | | Gherardi wa- then lieitenant-commander {on the Port Royal. When Mobile capitu- | lated after the s ege Mr. Lutz was one of | the first to enter the captured city. Mr. Lutz came to San Francisco in 1868. He served recentiy as secretary of tue Grand Jury, and is on the regular non- partisan ticket as a candidate for service on the board of freeholders to frame a charter. He is a member of Golden Gate Commandery, Knights Templar, and is well kuown as an active insurance man. Each candidate, listening to the assur- ance of support from comrades, is confi- dent of victory. The election promises to be one of the exciting events in the history of the post. It is hoped by both candidates that the members of the Woman's Relief Corps and the Ladies of the G. A. R. will main- tain a neutral attitude. REV. HR. WALK N0T WANTED It Is Rumored That He Has Not Forsaken His 0ld Love. The Christians Were Glad to Get Rid of Him and Would Not Have Him Back. They Olaim That He Was Forced Out of the Christian Church in San Jose. The “Christians” of this city deny that they were sorry when Georze Edward Walk deserted their ranks and became an Eviscopalian. that George Edward would not be at all averse to coming back to his old love, the Cyristian church. Furthermore, they are going to use every precaution to pre- vent that event ever taging place. They | say that he started out with everything | | in nis favor, but come way he never stayed d he was forced out | | of the Christian church, long 1n one place, Rev. Dr. William Gardner, one of the best known Christian ministers 1n the city, in an interview on the subject, said: 1 would like to say right now, that there is not one Christian chuarch in this State, or any other place that I ever heard of, that bewalled the loss of Mr. Walk. He was not considered a successful pastor, and his last charge, the church in San He in- sisted on staying with the church when the majority did not want kim.

It is rumored among the brethren tnat he would like to come to the old church. His father, Rev. 4 Walk, is a Christian minister and as charge of one our missions in Los Angeles, and that started it, I suppose. “Then, ton, he has called several times | upon some of us whom he has not calied upon since his going over to the other | church.

Charles Blackburn, one of the oldest | pioneers of the State, died at his residence | in Petaluma yesterdiay mornin-.

Mrs. Maude Berry-Fischer, a singer favorably known in local concert circ'es, made her debut in opera on Thanksgiving nignt at Woonsocket, R. I.

Mahan was walking along Channel street, and when near Sixth he was ac- costed by an evil-looking stranger, who at the point of a pistol ordered him to throw up his hands. Mahan did as requesied, when the rob- ber searched his pockets, taking his val- uables. With the remark that he would “fill him with boles” if he made an out- { cry the robber leit his viciim and started 10 waik nway. Afier walking some distance Mahan, | who was provided with a police whistle, lustily blew it “T'il teach you to keep still,”’ shouted the robber, who nad followed Mahan, evi- dently divining that he wouid raise an “You 'ocld make a good subject Suiting the action to the word, the rob- ber raised his revolver and fired. The bullet struck the unfortunate ma- chinist in the leg, making a serious wound, With a cry of pain Mahan sank to the ground ana the robber fled. Mahan’s cries for help attracted the at- tention of a police officer, who at once haa him removed to the Receiving Hospital. Since then he has been confined to his room from the effects of the wound. | Since the arrest of O'Brien Detectives Ryan and O'Dea have been making a thorough investigation, with the result tnat they bave found sufficient evidence to connect him wiin the shooting of Mabhan. Yesterday they visited the wounded man, and when shown a picture of O' Brien he readily recognized him as ihe robber. “While I had but a yvoor look at hm on account of the darkness” } ne is said to nave remarked. “'I am con- vinced that he is the right man.” To-day if Mahau's condi:ion is improved he will be asked to visit the Cty Prison for the purpose of identifying the supposed vietim, O’Brien, according to the police, a hard character. He has been convicted on numerous occasions, and #t one time served a six months’ sentence in the House of Correction for petty larceny. | 1 Garibaldi’s Star. Turr gave me a most characteristic touch of Garibaldi’s singularly sentimen- tal character. “I remember,” he said “‘tbatduring one of our silent marches I was riding by the side of the General, when vresently he looked up with infinite calmness and screnity at the vault of beaven. It was a brilliant moonlight night. He said with that sweet smile of his, ‘It is strauge, when I was quite a lad 1 said to myself, every man has his star, and I chose mine. Look. do you see yonder star in the direction of the Great Bear? That is mine. It is called Arc- turus.” ‘Well,” I said, ‘shine out, Arc- turus.” it i a sign that we shall enter Palermo!" ‘Undoubtedly,’ said the Gen- eral,with one of those emphatic inflections exnressing a deepand absolute confidence which admitted of no doubt about his destiny.—Contemporary Review. —————— | Among the persons summoned at the Highgate (London) Police Court for breach of the muzziing order was a man who, on being cailed, did not appear. It was stated that he bad since died. The bench, however, imposed the usual fine of 10s and cost. NEW 7T0-DAY —DRY GOCOD MPT NEW GOODS! .
