He applied for his release last week and Manager Coffroth reluctantly gave it to him. Truck had an opportun- ity to better himself by Joining *‘Big k:hif‘f" McGucken's braves, and while Coffroth was not overanxious to part with him, yet he deemea it expedient, ow- ing to the dull times. Charley Sweeney very properly fined “‘Ham' Iberg $50 for not appearing in Sac- ramento last week. “Ham’ was sched- uled to pitch for San Jose, and, without advising his manager, simply took the liberty of remaining at home. He was fined for disappointing the fans, and the league board should uphold Mr. Sweeney in his action. This is not the first time “Ham” has closeted himself, and the con- sensus opinion among those who are in a position to talk intelligently on the subject is that “Ham and Eggs” will be seeking a place to cook, if he does not display a little more discretion. “Kid” Peoples is just as fast as ever nd is playing a great third for the lead- ers. e management would not part Wwith him for anything short of a Collins, | Wallace or McGraw. A glimpse at his record in the fleld should be studied by some of the lesser lights. Out of thirty- six chances he has successfully dallled with thirty-two, which gives him a fleld- ng average of .888. Pretty good work But just look who he is—a Gilt o one of the kind that practices day. Mertes is playing great ball for Chi- cago. He not only pilfers a base with mg utmost regularity, but is hitting the ball hard and in numerous instances safe.

A great outcry has been made in Con- gress about the charges made by the owners of steamers on the Pacific Coast for the troopships required by Uncle Sam moorings. One of the State dredgers will ry to recover the coal to-day after the barge has been raised. The steamer Sunol is to make an excur- sion around the bay and up to Mare Isl- and: and Vallejo to-moyrow. leaving ‘Washington street wharf at 10 a. m. The troopships now beln% fitted out will be visited, and as two hours will be given the excursionists at Vallejo 'there will be ample time to examine the Philadelphia, Yorktown, Monadnock and Nero at the navy yard. The trip should be a very pleasant one. ¢ The steamer Oregon arrived from Port- land yesterday with the remains of Cap- tain Stephens aboard. On the trip north the captain dropped dead on the bfldge from heart disease. His children met the steamer on her arrival and the remains were removed to undertaking parlors. Owing to the fact that both the Austra- lia and Zealandia have been chartered as troopships by the Government there will be no vessel of the Oceanic Stenmshig Company. to take the sailing of the 29t inst. Owing to the scarcity of suitable ocean steamers it has been impossible to | charter a vessel to take the Zealandia's | place. A boat may be secured to go out on the July 27 run, but it is doubtful. | e — ——— = FIRE DEPARTMENT. | Estimates Submitted for the Fiscal Year Showing a Reduction.

Little excitement or interest is dis- | played in tennis at the California Tennis Club courts at the present time. The ma- jority of the young lady players have left | the city for the country and the ycunger members of the club are also out of town. A few good things are on the tapis, but are distant very nearly a month. he great Fourth of July tournament at San Rafael is now engaging the attention of the players of reputation and ability. The interclub doubles have excited a cer- ain amount of enthusiasm in the game 1 brought to notice a few young play- , who with constant attention to the ame will soon rank in the first class, The Alameda Tennis Club is perhaps the most poverty stricken in the way of first-class Jlayers. The Oakland Club has the two {Inr:h voung men of great achieve- ments on the courts. The California Ten- nis Club likewise numbers a brace of first raters among its ranks, the Whitney brothers. Besides these first-class players there are Bradshaw and Root, both of whom are steadily improving. An attempt will be made to play a mixed doubles tournament at the Califri- nia Club Wednesday of the coming ek. The best talent umon%lthe gentle- men players have signified thelr willing- ness to play with lady partners. This aftérnoon the scheduled game is between teams representing the Alameda and San Francisco clubs to be played at Alameda. At this writing it has not yet decided what teams will represent ir respective clubs. Magee and Mein, the Berkeley player, were on the California Club courts during the week ancd a game of doubles was and Brown, Mein and Magee won_the played between Mein and Magee and Daly match after some very close playing. Bradshaw and Root were at it agaln and after a hot tussie honors broke even. Rob Whitney found the measure of his broth- er's prowess on Thursday. George was de- feated, 60, 4—6, 6—3.

Wood Company Spoiled a Compact. T00 CHEAP - AN OFFER FIRMS WILL SELL MATERIAL AT THEIR OWN PRICES. Harbor Commissioners Will Obtain Jumber at Greatly Reduced Rates—Mr. Wood Ex- plains. The lumber market has been demor- alized by the action of the E. K: Wood Lumber Company in deserting the pre- arranged movement among large hand- lers of the useful commodity to uphold the market by charging 314 per 1000 feet. The Wood Company broke the spell a few days ago by putting in a bid to the Harbor Commissioners offering to furnish them with lumber during the next six months at §1150. Their action was de- cried by other firms as it lowered the standard of prices which they had set at a meeting of the Retail Lumber Asso- ciation, and threats were freely made to punish the firm for its audacity. ‘While condemning the move of the E. K. Wood Company, many of the firms | will follow its example by lowering their prices and bidding for the contract, which | they know will net them a neat profit, in the hope of being awarded the con- tract. As was published exclusively in The Call of yesterday, a movement was on | foot to defeat the object of the desert- ing company by placing every obstacle Hateds INTO BORT IN COMPANY. The ship Occidental sailed In and the ship Yosemite was towed in from sea yesterday. Both are coal laden from Seattle, but the Occidental made the run in eight days, while the Yosemite occupied fourteen days in mak- ing the voyage. the Yosemite encountered light winds and calms the first part of the voyage. It was simply a question of wind. The Occidental carried a good breeze with her all the way, and to carry soldiers to Manila. Had the Con- gressman who made the charges investi- | gated the matter there would never have been any outery. ‘When steamers were in demand for the Klondike trade the Pacific Coast Steam- | ship Company paid the Oceanic Steamship Company $800 a day for the use of the | Australia. The Government is paying ex- actly the same figure for the use of that vessel and her sister ship, the Zealandia. With this difference, howevery The Pa- cific Coast Steamship Compan? fitted out the Australia at its own expense for the Klondike trade, while in the case of the Government charter the owners have done considerable of the fitting out. Another case in point is that of the steamer Humboldt, for which $850 a day is now being paid to carry passengers to St. Michael. For the Klondike trade the Pacific Mail Company could have got more money than the Government is now paying them for the use of their vessels; but they refused point blank to withdraw In the case of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, it was actually in want of steamers in- stead of having any to spare. No price has been put on the Senator and Puebla, | and the loss of those vessels will seriously interfere with its passenger trade. The loss of the Australia and Zealandia leaves the Oceanic SleamshLF Company without a steamer for the Honolulu trade, and the loss of the Peking, China, Sydney, Colon and Para will seriously interfere with the business of the Mail Company. In no Instance was anything but a reason able pric the outery was ill timed and without foundation. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company will put the steamer Queen on the Puget Sound route, and Captain Jepsen, the popular master of the City of Puebla, will command her. The City of Topeka will take the Queen’s place on the Alaska route. Captain Thomas will go out in command of the City of Puebla on her trip to Manila, and Captain Patterson will | command the Senator. “Tom” James, who made himself so popular on the Honolulu run as chief steward of the Australia, is going out in a similar ca- pacity on the Senator, while W. E. Curtis, who has so ably catered to the Puget Sound traveling public, will look after the boys in blue on the City of Puebla. Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila, has been immortalized. A new schooner buit at Nehalem Bay for the coasting trade has been christened after him. In a few weeks the books of the Merchants’ Ex- change will chronicle the arrival of the schooner Dewey with a load of lumber from Nehalem Bay. The steamer Morgan City having been chartered to carry soldiers to Manila will not be put in the St. Michael trade this season. Her passengers will go north on the steamer Humboldt, which arrived from Puget Sound yesterday. The latter vessel has some of the quickest runs of any of the Klondike fleet to her credit. She made two round trips betwgen Seat- tlé and Lynn Canal in 19 da?'s 2hours, in- cluding all _stops. She will go on the drydock to-day, and will be ready to start for St. Michael in the early part of next week. The Alaska Transportation Company (Swiftwater Bfll's venture) got out of a eck of trouble yesterday. he concern Ku! largely advertised the stcamer Aloha to sall yeaterday, but as the vessel will not be ready for some time to come the Penagers of_the company did not know what to do. The company's river steamer Dawson City is all ready, but nothing could be chartered to tow her to St. Michael, and the passengers began to clamor. The California-Alaska Naviga- tion Company’s steamer Dirigo was to sall to-day, so_the Swiftwater Bill Com- ny made a deal with it by which the Paweon City is to be towed up by the Dirigo, and the Aloha's passengers will go up on her. The Aloha is to get her machlneg in next Wednesday, and will safl for St. Michael about the 20th inst., the California-Alaska Navigation &gginy'u Queen of the Yukon, which was to have gone north in tow of the Dirigo.

'MUST NOW FIND A | LOT FOR ITS DEAD | ITALIAN SOCIETY HAS NOCLAIM UPON THE CITY. Grant of Burial Grounds in the City Cemetery Has Been Canceled by the Superior Court. The demurrer of the city and county, | the Mayor and Board of Supervisors and the Board of Health in the action | brought against them by La Socleta Italiana di Mutua Beneficenzi, in which it sought to restrain the municipal au- thorities from prohibiting the burial of | the dead in the society’s plat in the Golden Gate and City cemeteries, was sustained by Judge Hebbard yesterday and the action ordered dismissed. The cemetery lots were held bl; the so- ciety under a grant from the Board of Supervisors in_June, 1879. 1In June of last year the Supervisors passed an or- dinance prohibiting further burials in the cemeteries after January, 1888. The ordi- nance was disputed by the plaintiff so- ciety, which claimed that it was illegally | adopted; that the society was discrimi- nated against; that no other lots had | been set apart to the soclety as required by the act of March 27, 1868, and that while the city authorities still permitted the burial of the indigent dead within the City cemetery up to July 1, 1868, the same privilege was denied the society. A demurrer to the complaint was flled by the various defendants, claiming that the court had no jurisdiction of the sub- ject matter. The whole question rested on one point which related to the valid- ity of the grant of the lots in the ceme- teries to the society by the Board of Su- pervisors in 1879. It was held that if the grant was not sufficient to convey the title to the land it would amount to a mere license to bury revocable at the will of the grantor. The court finds that under the acts of the Legislature and the orders of the Board of Supervisors, the City cemetery was reserved for a | public purpose and that the conveyance of it would be a violation of the trust | imposed by law upon the Board of Su- pervisors. It also held that the plaintiff | society, being a private corporation, the | Board of Supervisors was without power to grant to it the cemetery lots; conse- | quently, that the attempted grant was ln}'a‘ll] and through it the soclety held no_title. For these reasons the plaintiff was held to have no standing in court, and its suit was ordered dismisses el In Honor of Old Ireland. A grand centennial celebration to com- | memorate the Irish insurrection of 1708 | was held at Foresters’ Hall, Port Costa, ‘Wednesday evening, under the auspices of Port Costa Lodge No. 7 of the St. Pat- | rick’s Alllance. The programme for the event was of exceptional merit, and con- | sisted of Irish patriotic songs and recita- tions, with a goodly introduction ‘of American anthems. Rev., Father Walsh was the president of the celebration. The Frogramme in_part was as follows: Vio- in solo, Miss Buttner; song, “Erin's Sad Memories,” Josephine Dreschler; song, “Yankee Dewey,’’ Walter Herlitz; vocal solo, J. Kay; tableau, “Ireland and Amer- jea,” Miss M. Cashman and Miss Ella Crowley. The "Rev.

It would seem that the Wood Company’s chances in that direc- tion are rather slim, as companies who have had busine: with the board in years past will lower their price with a view to landing the plum. It is said that if the E. K. Wood Lumber Com- pany’s bid was equaled the board would give it to a preferred company. One thing is certain, and that is, the Harbor Commi: ners will obtain lum- ber cheaper this season than at any other period fn the past few vears. . K. Wood, who departed from the unwritten law of the Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, said yesterday: “I am sorry that anything was said {n The Call about the matter. It was simply a tempest in a teapot, and 1 am sure has already blown over. Our firm put a bid of $11 50 simply as a business proposition, ‘We knew that at that price we could realize a profit, and will be glad to get the contract. “One reason for bidding as we did is that lumber is cheaper now than sixty days ago. Freight has also decreased from $5 to $3. We do not expect to get the busin, nor do we want to get into a newspaper controversy with those in our line of business. I have no ill will against them, and I don’t think they have against me. I expect that other companies will bid at the same price, and as some are preferred by the Commis- sioners, I suppose they will obtain the | contract. ‘However, in the event our company is chosen, I don't think - the other companies would be foolish enough to refuse to sell us lumber. I am sure they would not dare refuse, as they are in the business to sell. We are not worry- ing on that score, as we can easily sup- ply ourselves with material from our mill. The kind that is used by the Com- missioners is not scarce and can be eas- ily procured. ““The reason why the other compantes are complaining is that we have lowered the price of lumber. Some time ago, at a meeting of our association, Mr. O'Brien of Simpson & Co. made a motlon that retailers sell lumber to the Harbor Com- missioners at not less that $14, and as an outcome of the motion those present signed an agreement to that effect. Qur representative, M. Stephens, refused to sign, not having the necessary author- ity. ' Not having been a party to the uEreement and seeing an opportunity to obtain some business we put in our bid accordingly.” Mr. Pennell of Simpson & Co. was asked whether his firm would refuse to sell the E. K. Wood Company lumber if they found it necessary to buy. “Cer- tainly not,” said he. “If Wood & Co. want our lumber they can have it, but they must pay us the usual tariff for it. If it was $14 per 1000 feet, as it was some months ago, they would have to pay that price and get out of it as best they could. I do not think they will be de- pendent upon us, as they have a mill of their own. I am sure that lumber deal- ers will not refuse them materjal just be- déause they placed a bid of $11 before the Harbor Commissioners. We are all in the business to sell, and if they want it they can buy at the current prices. “It is true that Mr. O’'Brien of our com- pany made a motion at the Retail Lum- ber Dealers’ Association meeting that the retail dealers should stand together and keep lhi price of lumber at $14 50. Many signed an agreemnt to that effect, but the E. K. Wood Company refused. eir lacing a bid before the Commissioners or $11 50 has had a bad effect on the market. It being a public bia, dealers will necessarily lower their prices to that fig- are. It has simply demoralized the mar- ket—broken it up, as it were. 1 do not think our company will bid for the con- tract.” As was stated yesterday, the plan will be to compel the E. K. Wood Company to pay the ruling price for lumber if they need it, which would entail a loss on the contract. EXPEDITIOUS WORK. Two Would-Be Burglars Arrested | and Held to Answer Within a Few Hours. Frank Smith and August Normant, fre- quenters of the Plaza, on Kearny street, were arrested about 1 o'clock yesterday morning on a charge of attempted bur- glary, were arraigned and examined in Judge Joachimsen’s court a few hours later and held to answer before the Su- perior Court in $2000 bonds each. Policeman Edwards saw the two men acting in a suspicious manner at the| grocery of Andrew Anderson, corner of | Leavenworth and Jackson streets, and| stood in a doorway to watch develop- ments. When he saw them trying to force open one of the windows with a| “jimmy’’ he concluded it was time to act anti he grabbed hold of Normant. Smith | ran and Edwards blew his whistle, which was answered by Policeman Williams, who gave chase and soon overtook Smith. | When Edwards caught hold of Normant | he pulled a revolver out of his pocket, but Edwards wrenched it from him be- fore he had time to use it. Normant had, also, possession of the “jimmy” and a bunch of keys. Besides the charge of attempted burglary charges of carrying a concealed weapon and having burglar tools in his possession were booked against him. He was convicted on these charges, but sentence was deferred pend- ing the result of the felony charge in the Superior_Court. . e MUNICIPAL EXPENSES. Estimates Submitted by the Sheriff and County Clerk. The estimate of the County Clerk for the probable expenses of his office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, has been submitted to the Board of Supervisors and the Auditor. The County Clerk asks for $138,000; of this $6000 is for printing and stationery and $6000 is for the print- ing of transcripts in criminal cases;. the | remaining $126,000 is for salaries. In his estimate the County Clerk states that there is due on taxes $330,000 and there has already been collected $200,000. The income for the office for the coming year is estimated to be $30,000. | Last year Mr. Curry was allowed 355,000, The Sheriff has submitted the following estimate of what he will need: Salaries of ofice and of Jail No. 1, $80.90; ex-| penses and subsistence of prisoners in | office and of Jall No. 1, $38,72; salaries | and expenses of Jail No. 2, $45,700; sal-| aries and expenses of Jail No. 3, §7610; | total, §172,995. This is not as much as was asked last year by two or three thousand dollars. SECOND MEETING OF CRICKET CLUBS. Last Sunday the second match of the season between the Alameda and Pacific cndfl? clubs began at Alameda on the Websfer-street grounds. The Pacifics went in first and put together 168 runs, to which score the principal contributors were A. Dickinson 41, J. J. Theobald 31, F. Sewell 19, H. C. Cassidy 16, and J. H. Har- bour 11. No fewer than seven of the Ala- meda team were tried as bowlers, and of these F. C. Driftleld took 3 wickets for 25 runs, A. Price 2 for 23, J. J. R. Peel 2 for 33, and F. Croll 2 for 34. At the call of time the Alameda team had scored 71 for three wickets, F. Croll being not out 26, and G. Croll not out 14 R. B. Hogue § and J. H. Spiro 15 were both caught off Sewell’s .bowling, and H. Bird, 3, was bowled by Wallace. The match will be continued to-morrow, and, if the remaining wickets of the Ala- medas prove slow to fall, may end in be- ing drawn, as a two-day match which is not played out is not decided by the score in the first inning. Should the match | be unfinished it is to be hoped that both captains will agree to play it out on the 19th, which is an open date, no matter in whose favor the game may be when stumps are drawn at 5:30 to-morrow aft- ernoon. SMASHERS OF THE IRISH HANDBALL.
