10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1899 MUCH MYSTERY SURROUNDS A CREWSOME FIND Amputated Arm Puz- zles Authorities. NO INQUEST WILL BE HELD POLICE AND CORONER ARE BAFFLED. Theory That It Gives a Clew to the Fate o. Goetz Is Apparently the Only Solu- tion. ALAMEDA, Jan ~— The police and Deputy Coroner Fowler are baffled in thelr efforts to clear up the mystery of the amputated arm found yesterday In un empty boxear near the oll works, Ab- solutely no clow has been obtalned to the identity of the person who deposited the grewsome parcel in the car. The uncan- ny Hmb Is still at the Alameda Morgue and Is apparently a white elephant on the hands of the Deputy Coroner, The officials have spent a day Inspect- Ing the vacant bulldings in the vicinity of the oll works hoping to secure some clew that might serve to clear up the mystery, but they gathered little infor- mation of a tangible nature, They have practically given up hope of solving the matter, The arm gives evidence of having been dismemoered for at least two months.

Everything to Date Is a Great Secret. MAYOR YET NO NAMED FITZGERALD FACTION HAS NO VOICE IN CONVENTION. The Laymance Wing Has Everything Its Own Way and There Will Be War Until the Election. Oakland Ofice San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 30. To-morrow evening the Democrats will hold a city convention, and there {8 much speculation regarding the candidate who will be nominated. So far no names ap- pear to have sufficient support to justify calling them candldates. Yet those In control of the convention declare that a ticket will be nominated that will be a credit to the Democratic party of Oakland and which will merit the confidence of all the voters. The situation is very puzzling. The ma- chinery of the party has passed from one wing to another and i{s now controlled by those who were formerly in the minor- ity on the city committee but not in the party at large. It is interesting to note that Con Brosnahan, who was chalrman of the County Central Committee while R. M. Fitzgerald was in power as a Dem- ocratic leader, Is now chalfman of the Committee of Twenty-one, which is com- posed of anti-Fitzgerald forces. Brosna- han is not now a candidate for any office and s therefore free to do all the politics he pleases, and apparently he pleases to do a great deal. Many names have been suggested for the offices at the head of the ticket, but no one seems to know anything definite. Those In control of the convention ex- press great confldence that they will be able to put up a strong Democratic tick- ot. The Uflpufll(luu declares that this is an impossibility, for no strong Democrat- lc ticket can be nominated under such near the Park-street station of the narrow | auspices.

ERKELEY, Jan. 30. — Roy Nye, a member of the present grad- uating class of the University of California, was to-day elected class president in one of the most closely con- tested elections the college has known. Four candidates were in the field when the class held its meeting for t pur- pose of nominating officers for the last term of the college course. Of these, two withdrew this morning. Of the two re- maining Nye secured the honor, defeating | his opponent by a vote of §4 to 76. Nye Is looked upon by his assoclates as being well qualified to fill the position of executive responsibility to which he has been elected, having already served with distinction upon several of his class committees. He is one of the five students who were the first to be elected to the honorary fraternity of Phl Beta Kappa from the present senior class.

MO4040404040404040404040404040404040404040404040M REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 30.—This city was startled at 8:30 o’clock last * night by what apparently was a great explosion in the direction of the city water and eectric light works, but which upon investigation proved to be the collapse of a 50,000 gallon tank full of water. The Town Trustees had recently replaced an old tank with a new one upon the framework fifty feet above the ground. The work of setting the tank up had been completed, and yesterday It was for the first time fllled with water. Woodwork of the tank was kiln-dried lumber and as dry as tinder, and in putting it together sufficient allowance was not made for swelling. The result was the bursting of the heavy iron bands as though they were The engine and boller room are located beside the framework, and unfortunately the side of the tank toward the building gave way first, precipitating the entire 50,000 gallons of water and the greater part of the tank {tself directly upon that portion of the buillding containing the pumps, machinery and dynamo, crushing the building as though it were The boller room fortunately escaped with little damage. Besides the wrecking of that portion of the building completely, the en- gine, pumps and dynamo were all damaged to a greater or less extent. The pipes connecting with the tank were wrenched and twisted and The place was flooded with water, which ran out’upon the streets As luck would have it no one was in the engine room when the accident occurred, Engineer James Stalter having gone home to his supper and his son, Gus, being busy with the fires in the boiler room. It was remarkable that no person was killed, for usually on Suhday even- ings there are numerous parties inspecting the works. which are run from the water works were immediately extinguished and the town left in darkness until the moon appeared. The water works system here consists of a large framework upon which are situated three 50,000 gallon tanks, two of them being about fifty feet above the ground and the other about twenty-five feet higher. The collapsed tank was the lower one on the east side. It is a complete loss. building and machinery will probably amount to at least $1000 more. Steps will be taken immediately to rebuild and procure another tank. 040404040404040404040404+ °¢0¢00000¢00000004040¢o.° The The electric lights The tank was The loss to the 4040404040404040404040+0404040404040404C404040M DEPUTIES AND DREYFUS CASE Progress on the Revision - Bill. TURNED OVER TO COMMITTEE PREMIER DUPUY DOES NOT WANT TO ACT IN THE DARK. Major Esterhazy Refuses to Give Tes- timony Until Heard by the Entire Court of Cas- sation. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Jan. 30.—The Chamber of Deputies to-day, by a vote of 346 to 189, adopted the Government's proposal to submit a speclal committee of the Chamber the bill providing that cases of trial revision shall be brought before the united sections of the Court of Cas- sation. The report of M. Maseau, First Presi- dent of the Court of Cassation, on the charges of M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire, the former president of the civil section of that body, will be read before the committee. The Minister of Justice, M. Lebret, introduced the bill and asked that it be sent to a committee. It was read amid profound silence. The preamble of the measure declaring that the bill was one of necessity for peace and to restore calm in the country, was greeted with applause from the center and murmurs from the extreme left. M. George de Berry, representing the first division of the Seine, said the chairman was not aware why the Gov- ernment introduced the bill and asked for the official publication of the evi- dence in the case of M. Bard, who re- ported on the Dreyfus case to the Court (Cheers.) The Premier, M. Dupuy, said he did not wish the Chamber to vote in the dark. He was desirous that full light be thrown on the subject, and there- fore the Government would submit to the committee the complete documents in the case. (Cheers.) It developed to-day that the Govern- ment proposed at first that only cer- tain revision judgments should be sub- mitted to the entire Court of Cassation, but the bill, as introduced, provides that all revisions are to be submitted to’ the entire court The preamble, after advancing Jjudicial reasons for introducing the bill, concludes as fol- lows: “The new blill applies directly to an affair which is now profoundly dividing the nation. Doubtless the ob- jection will Dbe - raised that the law is made to fit a certain circumstance. But it is above all a law of necessity and appeasement. We believe that the judgment of the entire Court of Cassa- tion will appeal to every one with irre- sistible force and end the agitation and difference which have too long dis- | turbed the nation.” The committee to which the bill was submitted, will éxamine M. Maseau to-morrow and several of the commit- teemen intend also to examine the sus- pended judges. Major Count Esterhazy has again been before the criminal sectlon of the Court of Cassation, but it is under- stood that he refuses to give any fur- ther testimony before the section and insists upon being heard by the entire court. HIS HOUSE FIRED UPON. Home of a Yolo Farmer the Target for Rifle Bullets. WOODLAND, Jan. 30.—George Sidwell and family live on the Plainfield road, five miles south of Woodland. The in- formation comes to this city that on Fri- day evening, about 8:30 o'clock, five shots were fired at the residence, the balls lodg- ing in the door. The shots were evidently fired from the county road, 20 yards away. A 32-caliber rifle was used, which accounts for the failure of the bullets to penetrate the door.
