It is| tfue’that a majority of them large ma- | jority—has become either Republican or | socialist, but there are enough left to harbor an ambition that the party name shail: appear on the city ticket. A m meeting, at which there was more meeting than mass, was held, to which all those who wished to attend were welcome. As soon as the meeting was called to order a pall was thrown over the pro-| ceedings by the receipt of the resignation of Chairman C. T. Johns, who resigned as | president of the Popullst City Committee | some: time ago, and who has since boasted that he was an ardent supporter of the | Republican ticket last November. Judge Liucas called the meeting to order and an- notnced that plans would be considered to.'be adopted by the party during the camapign. L. Barkman, W. F. Bliss, Dr. K. Hesse, J. Hennessey, A. Hoernisch, E. | A Moody and Adna A. Dennison were | present. Following the resignation of the chairman, Mr. Dennison resigned as com- mifteeman of the Fourth Ward, explain- ing that his duties as a newspaper man made it inexpedient for him to take an act{ve part in the campaign. Mr.. Hennessey called attention to the | fict ‘that Populists, after having been electid to office, were Populists no longer.

OAKLAND, Jan. 6. a public boulevard was discussed at a Joint meeting of the park committees of 1he Board of Trade, Merchants' Exchange and. Board of Public Works this morning. | In reference to the dredgings to be taken | from Lake Merritt, Mayor Thomas said | that it was very desirable to have the | area between Eighth and Twelfth strects filled,. and that that was the understand- ing when the dredghg project’ was con- sidered. Colonel Edwards and others fa- | vored putting a bulkhead on the outside | line of the boulevard and then fill inside | of that. He suggested that deeds would | be given by private owners, so that the boulevard would be made to continue around the lake.

He was | employed by Chief Lloyd to secure con- | victions of people for selling liquor ille- gally at $20 per conviction. Kruger’s | methods were not after a while quite so | atisfactory, and people came into court and said that Kruger had tried to act as | judge and jury himself and to try the | lawbreakers on his own account. After | this Kruger's services were dispensed | with. A few weeks ago License Inspector Ma- | loon discovered that Kruger was running | a saloon without a license at Temescal.s He was arrested and to-day was on trial. Many of his neighbors testified that he gold them steam beer, and Mrs. Nelson told of much neighborhood gossip, which not bearing upon the case, was ignore by the Judge. Maloon put up a very strong case, show- ing that Kruger had for some time sup- | plied all the steam his nelghbors wanted. Judge Mortimer Smith is a failure as a nurse. Although the small father of a large family he did not demonstrate to the attorneys and lobby in the Police Court that he is any better hand at sub- duing a tumultuous baby than a bachelor | would be. | The Judge's attempt to act as nurse | was occasioned by the behavior of the in fant brought into court by Mrs. Nelson, who was a witness in the trial of A. C. Kruger, charged with supplying Teme: jans with liquor without having a li- cense. Mrs, Nelson marched on to the stand armed with her two-year-old child, and the youngster did all in his power to prevent the mother’s testimony from be- ing heard. The mother, however, was equal to the occasion, but Prosecuting | Attorney Harry Melvin'and modest Judge Smith could not hope to make themselves heard, and finally the Judge undertook to look after the baby. He made a dire failure of it, and after about three sec, onds and a half he requested Bailiff | Mitchell to see if there were not some la dies_hanging around the courtroom who would relieve the court and the mother | temporarily of the_responsibility | The jury found Kruger guilty ommended him to the mercy of the court.

The contagiousness of the Sacramento job-chasing fever is by no means con- fined to the adept and adult politician but has broken out in virulent form among the juvenile element in Onk]und.‘ Justice of the Peace James Larue of Brooklyn Township had lined up before six boys—Homer Marshall, | Jack Walker, George Colbath, H. Smith, Frank Carter and Mike Moran—aged from | 9 to 12 years, and all charged with trying | to beat the Southern Pacific Company by | riding the brakebeams to evade the pa: ment of fares from Oakland to Sac mento. The boys were arrested near San Lean- dro last night by Constable Harry Cramer and his deputy, Jerry Quinlan, and spent | They admitted before | Justice Larue to-day that they were on | their way to Sacramento when arrested d that their purpose was “to see what the Legislature was doing and to try to | get a job.” | Mrs. Carter, the mother of one of the | lads, had already packed her Saratoga, | and expected to go to Sacramento to-day to be near her boy, who seemed to be confident of sucess in his job-chasing pur- | suit. { The bovs claimed that they had heard | there were always plenty of juvenile jobs | Iying around loose during the session of | the Legislature. They had evidently never heard of the Belshaw law, that cut down | and relegated to the shades most of these | odd jobs, clerkships, etc. | Justice Larue had compassion on the young prisoners and discharged them. | Carter, Moran and Marshall are the | leaders of the sextet. The latter is a remarkably clever colored boy from New York. He came to Oakland recently with | a theatrical troupe, which stranded and | cast him out upon his own resources. Moran known among the juvenile ele- | ment as “Fatty Marle.” Some time ago | he and_several other boys traveled to| Santa Rosa, ostensibly to work in the hop | fields. Instead, some of them played the | role of young hoboes, visiting a number of farmhouses and carrylng off personal property. They were arrested for bur- glary, and subsequently Moran’s parents sued the county authorities for falsely imprisoning their son e Oakland News Items. OAKLAND, Jan. 6.—Professor E. L. Knowl- ton has been elected secretary of the Alameda County Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, vice Mrs. O. M. Sanford, who re- “igned, and who contemplates moving out of this city. Rev. H. B. McBride, who died suddenly at Merced Wednesday last, served six vears as pastor of the Presbyterfan church at Haywards, Where the funeral services were conducted to- day by the local pator, assisted by others from Alameda and Oakland. His death comes as | a great shock to his many friends. Deceased leaves a_widow _and five children. Mrs, Hattie Bartlett, aged SI years, dled to- day from Injurfes suftained by a fall while going upstalrs at her home, 128 Twenty-third avenue, a few days ago. Her hip was frac- tured, and_owing to her age her heart became affected, Dr. N. K. Foster did not sign the death certificate, hence Coroner Mehrmann Leah Ellen Stutt has been granted a divorce from Joseph A. Stutt by Juage Greene. The decree, signed to-day, directs defendant to pay $0 monthly allmony from August 1, 1595, $100 counsel fees and $750 costs. This must be pald within ten days from service of de- ree. Willlam McCurdy, member of Engine Com- pany No. 2 of the Fire Department, died at the Infirmary to-day, a vietim of con- sumption.

Mrs. Charles C. Hughes and a lecture on | surrouna: companies’ offices to pay their bills they are daily becoming more impressed with the extent of the extortionate Woodward schedule of rates. The latest raise is 41 | per cent, and is a fair sample of the rest. A year ago Willlam Wehr of Piedmont paid a dollar a month for his house. December his bill was $1 8, yesterday his January bill was found to be $2 75. And yet President Dingee of one branch H tkinson | : of the consolidation and J. H. Watkins |/ in ttint shelwas Hot ablsto leep upiwith of the other branch have both declared that they are not charging anything like the rates permitted by Councilman Wood- ‘ward's ordinance. There is considerable doubt as to the legality of the manner Woodward ordinance was passed. The law distinctly provides that the rate shall be fixed after taking testimony from the water companies regarding their original cost, operating and maintenance expenses. Last year this was not done. The water companies did appear before the commit- tee and were closely questioned, but the report of that committee was thrown aside entirely and the Woodward ordi- nance was presented and passed without any testimony being taken. At the time of its passage as his cial study of the case, that such an ordi- nance is not valid. In the municiral campaign the water question will be the most prominent issue.

WANT CHANGE OF NAME. Temescal Signifies a Sweathouse and Residents Seriously Object. OAKLAND, Jan. 6.—The citizens of Temescal are in a flurry over the discov- ery that the name of this beautiful sub- urb means a “sweathouse,” a place where Digger Indians took sweat baths before plunging into the river. The executive committee of the North- ern Oakland Improvement Association has taken the subject up, and last night ceso- lutions were passed to the effect tnat the appellation of Temescal be changed to ome name more euphonious and more appropriate to the present conditions and prospects of the locality. The citizens are now invited to make suggestions, to be sent in writing to W. G. ‘Wallace, secretary of the association. A committee, consisting of Professor Lem- mon, M. 8. Dewing, R. J. Montgomery H. A. Ingalls, W. C. Wallace and L. N Hager, was appointed to draft a petition and circulate the same for signatures, asking the Supervisors for permission to change the name of Temescal ——————————— Sues Ex-Husband on a Note. OAKLAND, Jan. 6.—Elizabeth L. Sim- mons filed suit this afternoon against her | ex-husband, R. 1. Auld, for the recovery of 3700 on a promissory note, dated Oc- tober 5, 1895, without interest. Auld is in the employ of the railway mail service, and the plaintiff was divorced from him about sixteen months ago on the ground of cruelt. The loan was made while the parties were still husband and wife. The divorced plaintiff is now the wife of Dr. Simmons, a School Trustee of Haywards. Pt oAb i i, A LIBRARY FIRE. The Books of the Berkeley Free Read- ing-Room in Danger. BERKELEY, Jan. 6—Fire broke out this morning in the new brick building on the Shattuck estate occupled by the Berkeley Free Public Library, and for a while both the library and the Commer- cial Bank were in danger of being de- stroyed. The blaze was discovered shortly before 11 o’clock by Librarian D. R. Moore, who noticed smoke issuing from the three ra- diators which heat the reading room. Go- ing to the furnace in the basement below he found the place on fire, and at once turned in the alarm. The Columbia Com- pany responded immediately, followed by the” Alert, Peralta and North Berkeley. It was found that the flames were con- fined chiefly to the radiator pipes, and that they were being carried over all parts of the building. After extinguish- ing the fire in the basement the library floor was torn up and the blaze was brought under control. The damage done to the books was due entirely to the effect of smoke; through the care exercised by the firemen they were not touched by either fire or water. As soon as the flames were discovered the doors of the Commer- clal Bank were closed and ail the books and money put in the safety vault. The bank resumed business as soon as the | danger had passed. The damage is estimated at $1000. The lih{ary will be closed several days for re- pairs. —_— e Alameda Pound in a Tangle. ALAMEDA, Jan. 6.—Alameda is without a public {)()und owing to the legal tangle ng the ownership of the para- hernalia used by the late Poundmaster, Victorine Joseph, who died last month. Alfred Ewing was appointed Poundmaster at the last meeting of the City Trustees. When he went to take possession of the Pound a son of the deceased Josephs was in charge and refused to vacate the prem- ises. He is laboring under the idea that he inherited his father’'s property without will or an apreal to the probate court. The bulldings in dispute are on city prop- erty, with the exception of a barn, which stands in the middle of Court street.

There were the regular Friday night services at Congregation Emanu-El Syn- agogue on Sutter street last evening. Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger preached a ser- mon on “Gratitude,” and drew an inter- esting object lesson from the rainfall with which the State Is now being blessed. “These golden drops,” he said, ‘‘are mes- sages from God. Without Divine Provi- dence man would be helpless and could | accomplish nothing. ~What would the farmer and the merchant do if the rain | did not fall? This shows their utter de- pendence on the Creator. Let the senti- ment of gratitude which pervades every heart be translated into deeds of good- ness and kindness. Let these beneficial raindrops be an incentive to that grati- tude to God who has been beneficent to us.” ——————— In the Divorce Courts.

He always acts as if he were very drunk. Sometimes he really is, sometimes he isn't; but at any rate he is continual- ly singing darky songs at the top of nis volce,” whether he be on the street or off it. The other day as he was rolling down the street to Lis usual accompaniment a youngster of 4 years turned up iis aris- tocratic little nose from the safeguard of a tall fence and remarked: ““Andy, you're a dreat bid fool!” Andy stopped and was quiet for the | space of a whole second; then grinned cheerfully as he remarked: “Heh, you youngster, if you call me a fool ag'in’ I'll kick you up so high dat when you comes down yo' clothes'll be all out o’ style.” The boy looked scared a moment, then, recovering, suddenly yelled out: “I don’t care if you do—¥'d det a new suit then.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. e Hooley a Better Floater That Noah.
