ALAMEDA, Sept. 18.—Oliver Young, the baggageman who was murdered at Pen- dleton, Or., vesterday, was formerly a resident of this city, where he lived up to about three and a half years ago,when he went to Oregon to take a position on a railroad. He was a plumber by trade, and had ‘many friends here, i)ein a steady and well respected man. %lls brother, Edgar Young, lives' here, and is a carpenter and bullder. —_——————— Burned With Gasoline. ALAMEDA, Sept. 18.—E. B. Owens, a plumber doing business at 1442 Webster reet, was painfully burned about the face yeslerduf‘ afternoon by the explosion of a heater In which gasoline was used for fuel. The machine did not ‘work and Owens was examining it, when it blew up. ATE POISONED ICE CREAM. Mary McGuire the Victim—Swim- ming Contests at Sutro’s Baths. The park police were led to belleve.yes- terday that they had a case on their hands that was rivaled only by the Delaware poisoning mystery. Miss Mary McGuire of 513 Hayes 'street, while en- joying herself strolling though the city’s playground, was taken suddenly ill and was removed by some friends to the Emergency Hospital. The young woman was apparently suffering from the effects of some mineral poison. Her suffering was intense, and for a time the physi- clans who labored over her were not over-confldent that the sufferer would re- cover. Finally, however, the remedies administered had the prw?er effect and the patient rallied. She stated that she had partaken heartily of ice-cream in‘a downtown establishment and was taken‘ ill not long after leaving the place. She| went to the park thinking that the pain she was suffering would soon’pass away, but she was mistaken. The physicians are of the opinion that the ice-cream was | allowed to stand too lon% in the can in which it was made -and hereh{‘ became poisoned. As soon as the police heard the young woman’s story they were greatly relieved, as it would go hard with the/ officer who unfortunately dug up another mystery for Lees to solve at the present time. ;“]housands of pleasure-seekers spent an | enjoyable day ‘at’ the park and Cclff. | Sutro’s Baths also provided entertain- | ment for amultitude of lovers of aquatic | sports. Sld Cavill again defeated Dan | Green. The two champlons ewam a race | of 440 yards. Cavill got a start of about six feet and at the line marking the end | of the swim he had not gained a foot. | Green’s feat of pressing the Australian | so closely caused considerable excitement, | and many who witnessed the match are | confident that with an even start the local | man can defeat Cavill. They aré willing to back him if anothér match ts arranged. George Kroug won the 50-yard dash, Ralph Simpson second. The under-water swimming contest was won A J. Baker, James Jackson second. R. Cor- nell won the obstacle race, A. J. Baker second. Otto Schulte won the prize in the | springboard diving and Fred Green was declared victor in the trick and fancy trapeze dlving.

Judge Maguire Uttered Some Truth When He Addressed His Sec- tional Audience Last Friday. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 18. There is more than dn indication—there is an apparent probability—that the Re- publican County convention will, to-mor- row, follow the example of the ostrich, and, hiding its head behind the screen of ite desires, attempt to argue with itself that what it refuses to see does not exist. No county convention has ever met in Alameda with more responsibility, with a higher duty to perform, or surrounded by more unpleasant. environments than that which will meet at San Leandro to-mor- row. The fate of Henry Gage—if Ala- meda again is to be the pivotal county in the State—depends on to-morrow’s work. The fate of George C. Pardee in his march to the governorship, begun so aus- piclously, will also be decided by the delegates- to-morrow. This year more than all other years the State will watch Alameda County critically, to note if her protestations of gany sincerity and harmony made at acramento be bubbles or material. Al- ready there are indications that a few selfish, unprineipled politicians are agalin laying the foundation for the ruin of the party as they have so often” done in the past. - Unless some definite changes be made, men will be nominated to-morrow whom even the party managers admit cannot be elected. This condition is being eagerly watch- ed by a great number of independent, Democratic_and fusion candidates, who are doing their best to disrupt the Re- publican organization, and apparently with some success. It is realized more clearly than ever that until there be a| capable Frxmary law no proper represen- tation of the party’s choice can be had in the matter of electing delegates to a county convention, and it {s this knowl- edge that {s yearly increasing the desire of men to make independent campaigns. There is great encouragement offered by past experience to men who, if honorable, run independently of their party ticket, | and their ultimate careers have proved | that the voters rather regard such actions as worthy of reward for daring to brav: and oOvercome the party machinery rather than of censure for being a bolter. Some years ago Dr; Pardee, realizing that it would be folly to attempt to do anything with the influences that com- bined to use the Republican arty for selfish purposes, started out independent- ly, fought the railroad and the manipu- lators tooth and nail, and when he had demonstrated that Hhe < could vanquish thém at every” turn they ackmowledged him as the leader and made frantic ef- forts to-get into the band-wagon. After Dr. Pardee came Henry Dalton. He fol- lowed the leader’s cue, ran indepen- dently, was successful, beat the railroad, and now politically can have anything he wants. nother example of this same g:olltlcs was Senator Earl. Six years ago arl braved the powers that then were in his fight for State Senator. His war cry was “Down with De Young for the United States Senate,” and he won in a | 1t be assigned to whatever regiment the walkover, although the railroad influence | was organized against him, After a few years each of these men became recog- nized, not as bolters, but as reformers, | and the seal of public aproval was placed | upon their acts. This idea which they to bring about party corruption are now following the ‘“Independent” example with but poor chances of success. On the eve of the primaries four years ago exactly the same conditions pre- valled as now. Some programmes had been prepared, which it was the inten- tion of the manipulatérs to force through the convention. Counsel was thrown to the wind, the obnoxious schemers pre- vailed, and in November this great Re- publican county was disgraced. The only offices having any patronage were lost to Republicans because of selfishness and indecency practiced by those who pro- fessed to be faithful party leaders. Should this fatal mistake be made to- morrow there will be just as decided a rejection of the unworthy portion of the ticket next November as there was in There is a lesson to be learned from the rimary held yesterday in the Seventh Ward. It was clearly demonstrated that when a grievance is belleved to exist, elther rightly or wrongly, - the afleged cause of it must suffer. It will probably be found evemnall{ that Mr. Jordan is entirely innocent of any intention or ef- fort at the Congressional primary to help the chances of one man more than another, but it Is very evident that at this time his home ward is just equally divided on the question. This presents a proposition which cannot fail to have an effect’ on the election. One-half of the great Seventh Ward containing over 2000 votes' plainly sald yesterday that they believed Mr. Hilborn did not have a square deal, and this condition of mind must be reversed before November or the result will be even more painfully ap- parent. To my mind there {s not any reliable foundation for this unreasonable opposi- tion to Mr. Jordan. It is true that the Hilborn men have produced suspicious certificates contalning the stamp of the Clerk's office and also an alleged signa- ture of one of his deputies. These signa- tures have been declared by an expert to be forgeries, but—and it is not surpris- ing—the Feople of the Seventh Ward do not pin their faith to expert testimony. It would perhaps have” been’ better had Mr. Jordan kept his hands out of pelitics since he was elected, but it is not always possible for an official to do this. It is true he has been in nearly every political fight, city, county or State, since he be- came County Clerk, and even his best friends -admit that this -policy, though perhaps of use to his favorites, must of necessity make political enemies. Mr. Metcalf had an abundance of clever and acute political managers without Mr. Jotdn.n.lDr. Palr((lee c’ouégl have won his great primary victory in this county with- out tga help of Mr. Jordan. City At- torney Dow, whose campalgn was Yn re- ality made by Dr. Pardee, could have been elected City Attorney without the Many other political ictorfes could have been won .had Mr, Jordan not left his office. .In each of these cases Mr. Jordan has:been alleged to have 'done something which his pofiu. cal enemies declare to have been im- g;oruuc if not positively uncalled for and ong. - This anxiety to is the sum-of Frank delinquencies. On' therother hand, for four-years Mr Jordan has glven Al a County an administration of which no man need be ashamed. ~His office would* serve as a model for every County Clerk’s office’ in the State. On no. occasion .has business been neglected or has it been that Hx)‘ Jordan's expenditure of cou money has“béen extravagant.

Mrs. F. “Harris delivered a very en- of all political and religious creeds in! Ml:fl jure on “The Reincarnating | have testified-that Jordan is a manager Self,” which she explained most lucidly, | of the most up-to-date type. The records help -his fri Jer!n.n'l ;u:’.“els of the office were never complete until Mr. Jordan took them in hand ana brought order out of tons and toms of documenm}' chaos. His- great registers. have been faultless and this in spite of the fact that the last Legislature made it impossible for him to recelve any extra ?pxizopnanon to accomplish such a big as ; Jordan is always willing to put himself to_inconvenience to serve others in his official capacity. His conduct as clerk of the Board of Supervisors has on more than one occasion caused that body to commend his work, and when the reck- lessness, carelessness and wanton ex- travagance of past administrations in the County Clerk’s office are taken into con- sideration there would seem to be no valid argument why Frank Jordan, if nominated to-morrow, should not be elected, These are the two sides of Mr. Jordan’s character which are before the voters and the result will be watched with interest. Judge Maguire has been in Oakland and gone. Two years ago he was in Oakland and went. "On the former occasion nhe attempted to- impress a vast' audience with the fact that free silver was an ai- tar and Bryan a god which innocent Oak- landers would do well to worship. Tom Reed came later and spoke at thé race- track for half an hour. Each of his 4 minutes helped to produce a majority of 200 sound money votes. r. Maguire spoke for over an hour at the Macdon- ough Theater and — General Barnes will be in Oakland be- fore many weeks, and people are wonder- ing what will be the effect of his speech over the egotistical tirade delivered by the man of many political colors last Friday evening. Oakland has never seen such a meeting as the one in which Mr. Maguire was the leading figure. It was truly a remark- able meeting. Everybody was uncom- fortable on the platform and off. It is a very hard thing to talk on definite is- sues {o which such conflicting elements are listening as Cleveland Democrats and rabid Populists, and preservé the peace. Mr. Maguire’s speech was & fallure In that he avolded everything that would enlighten ~his audience ref ng his ideas on the ‘“‘issues” of the joint parties, It was a success in that he sald nothing to hurt anybody’s feelings or to cause anybody to feel elated. e Judge talked about himself, the railroad company and recited a chapter from the Congressional Record and occasfonally, with perfect safety, referred to Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. These two last ‘“ideas” and “issues’” were all that could induce more than a fifth of the conglomerate audlence to cheer at one time. The paragraph in Mr. Maguire’s speech that tmpressed me most th its truth- fulness was this: ‘“There have been in the history of the world, the history of civilization—I think it came in with ctv- {lization—Pharisees; Pharisees who have always been going about wglnx in on form or another ‘I am holler than thou' .
