For two months the. girl has refused to be comforted. When her lover was being buried she fell across the casket at e graveside and wept bitterly and | refused to be consoled. She had to be carried to a carriage, and from that u the little majden has longed .for the happy hunting grounds, where her Indian lover had gone before her. Last | evening her wish was gratified. | The crime that robbed Loulse of her | Jover was particularly atrocious. She was the belle of the Indian settlement | near Pleasanton and had many beaux, | but Antone Silva was her choice and she was to marry him. _There lived near the camp a half-breed named Eu- lalia revengeful fellow who had a b rd.

ALAMEDA, March 1—The City Trus- tees held an executive session last night | and among other matters considered the proposed changes in the license ordl nance. The following changes were sub- mitted and discussed and will come up for final action on Monday evening next: For circuses the fee will be from $25 to $.50 a day, according to the admission fee charged and whether there are re- served seats or not. Bill posters must pay $25 per annum and handbill distrib- uters $10 for the first two emploves and $5 for each couple in addition. Producers and manufacturers will be required to pay only $250 a year for each wagon. Peddlers must pay $60 per ' year and liquor dealers sending wagons here to de- liver goods at retail must pay $100 per an- num. Drummers, solicitors and salesmen | tees at their meeting la | and Market stre | before the Grand Jury STILL AT THE CROSS-ROADS. Oakland Office Sart Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 1. The citizens of Oakland have a week before them in which to try to se- cure some recognition from one of the t Councilmen, each of whom holds a key to the situation. Much has been said about the fact that Messrs. Bros- nahan and Woodward do not consti- tute the whole body; and while this is true it is also true that the remain- ing four of the six have done just what was expected of them. They did not, as did Brosnahan and Woodward, mis- lead the public into believing that they | would do other than they have done, and consequently their consistency, ex- ecrable though it be, is acting some- what as a shield for them from public indignation. Next Monday night a large portion of Oakland will be present to see whether honor and decency are more valued by either Woodward or Bros- nahan than other things. At that meeting it will not be too late for either man to undo the mischief he has al- ready begun. Messrs. Earl, Heitmann, Watkinson and Henneberry can be fully depended upon to carry out the part of the programme for which they were elected, and to do which they have been encouraged since - election. Woodward and Brosnahan, according to their own stories, by which they at present stand condemned, were not elected for any such purpose, and have caused it to be made known that they intended to be honest when the water question came up. It is a secondary matter as to what caused them to change their intention, but when the infamous ordinance comes back for final passage, they can show which of the two roads that are now open to them they will take. The police department is being se- verely censured to-day for the disgrace- ful showing it made last night. Chief Lloyd will probably have to answer to the Commissioners for his plain neglect of duty. In the Council chamber when Brosnahan showed that he was irre- sponsible and used language that would not be tolerated without provoking a fight in a water-front saloon, it was clearly Chief Lloyd’s duty to place him under arrest. Especially was it his duty to do so when told by President Pringle to put Brosnahan out of the Council chamber. It was certainly a very humiliating spectacle to see an en- raged Councilman push the Chief of Police away, tell him to mind his own business and leave him alone, and for such Chief to obey. This evening one of the local papers which has hitherto always rushed to the defense of Chief Lloyd, says: “There was abundant rea- son for arresting Brosnahan in the Council chamber; he was guilty of in- toxication and of disturbing the peace. But even though no arrest had been made then, there should have been aft- erward, when it appeared that he was carrying concealed weapons on the street and causing fresh disturbances of the peace. But instead of that he was allowed to defy the president of the Council and the police, as well as to insult d ¥y by his foul-mouthed obscenity and blasphemy. After the adjournment, when he left the City Hall and started down the street, the police who were present (including the Chief) acted practically as a body guard to escort him safely from saloon to saloon on his devious way home- ward.” In his own defense, Chief Lloyd says that he considers that he acted for the best interests of all concerned, al- though he admits that he did not an- s m::‘ o ¢’ BROSNA B » % ! P daa / WIW ticipate such a riot, and says he did not know until after Brosnahan left the | City Hall that he was armed. The water companies are not showing | their usual diplomacy at this time, and | their partial success seems to have in- | toxicated them with an ambition to en- rage the public even before the new rates go into effect. They are now charging full legal rates, but it is not at the payment of this that the public is enraged; it is that the present legal rates would produce such a generous income that any additional rate is ab- | solute robbery. This fact is best es- tablished by the figures given out by the company to individual rate-payers on this, the first day of the month. They show that in a majority of in- stances the companies have been charging just one-quarter of what they could have charged legally. Many peo- ple who have hitherto paid 50 cents a month to-day find their bill is from $2 to $2 10. When before the Council com- mittee Messrs. Watkinson and Dingee | stated that they had collected during the past year about two-thirds of what the law allowed them, and on this showing the ordinance which was in- troduced by the cgmmittee was based. 1t now appears from the complaintsof numerous customers that they were charging a little more than 25 per cent of the legal rate, and that had they charged full rates even under the pres- ent ordinance their income would have | been princely. These facts are increas- ing the popular indignation, and great pressure will be brought to bear this | week upon either of the two Councilmen to have likely that it will be the original ordinance introduced by the committee. from house to house must pay_$15. general business license will be $2 5 der will be $10 per an- er that $5 per annum. Banks stead of $10 as now. Street- stead of 0 the gas company $250, instead of $50 as at present. Water Rates.

Otherwise' the rates were unchanged. An Old Man Robbed. ALAMEDA, March 1—The house of Charles Stehn, at the corner of Jefferson s, in a remote portion of the city, was entered some time yester- day during_the absence of the proprietor and robbed of some articles of trifling value. -It is only a few weeks since the same house was entered by a man who pretended he wanted a drink of water, and who stole $56 in coin that was hidden under a pillow. Stehn is reputed to be well off, and to this fact Is doubtless due the visits of the thieves. Alameda News Notes.

Peter Christensen’s Will Is Now in the Dead-Letter Office. A Stockton Mystery Thsat Has a Solution in This County. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 1. A story from Stockton, published in to-day’s Call, throws some light on a claim recently made by Andrew Crow of Haywards. It concerns the disposi- tion of an estate valued at over $100,000 | left by an old bachelor named Peter Christensen. For many years “Old Pete,” as he was known, lived'a lonely life on his ranch near Waterloo, in San Joaquin He died a few weeks ago and so far as is known no heirs are living in this country. The Public Adminis- trator is now in charge of the estate, no will having been found. It is known that the old man had a will prepared some time ago, but no one in San Joa- quin knows what it contains, It is now stated that“Old Pete’” made a will several years ago and left all his property to the late Judge Baldwin of Stockton. Since the death of the Judge | the document was mailed to Christen- sen, and after lying in the postoffice at Stockton for thirty days it was sent to the Dead Letter Office at Washington, where it is now. Efforts are being made to get the im- portant document and it is said that it will give large bequests to old friends of the eccentric miser. < The oldest friend of the eccentric rancher is Andrew Crow of Haywards, who is a poor man. He tells a romantic story and says he is undoubtedly the beneficiary under the will of Peter Christensen. Crow says that a long time ago his father was good to twp little orphans—Peter Christensen and his sister. Peter went into the world but never married. He was successful and soon accumulated valuable prop- erty. He lived with his sister till she died and after her death he notified Andrew Crow, the son of his benefac- tor, that at his death he would leave | his property to the Crow family. Crow has the letters from Christensen and is | confident that when the will is found he will get what the old rancher prom- ised him. Endeavorers at Work.

The Report of Wrangling Among the Directors Is Also Untrue. The Ancient Order of United Work- men Wl Take Possession To-Day. ‘With the exception of the opening night and the Maine benefit, the In,rgest.' crowd that has yet attended the Min- ing Fair was present yesterday. The attendance of school children and ladies in the afternoon was by far the largest of any, and the features were the most pleasing. At night the League of the Cross Cadets under the command of Colonel W. P. Sullivan attended four- teen companies strong with their band. After they had paraded around the Pa- vilion, Company A, under the command of Captain F. S. Brady, gave an exhi- bition drill. Lawrence, the trick bicy- cle rider, and the Lazello Brothers were the features last night. The management of the fair is very indignant over a report published in one of the afternoon papers, in which it Is stated that the fair has been a financial failure. Assistant Superin- tendent Buckley said last night: “There is absolutely no truth in the statement as published in the Bulle- tin. We do not expect to lose a cent, and if there is any loss it will be insig- nificantly small. There has been no wrangling among the directors of the fair.” This evening the Ancient Order of United Workmen will be in attendance at the fair. The exercises will consist of a parade, short speeches and a com- petitive drill. The following is the pro- gramme: 7:30 p. m.—Parade from Stockton and Geary streets in the following order: Platoon of Police. W. B. Rogers’ Military Band of thirty pleces From the Mining Fair.
