10 THE ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. LITTLE HOPE FOR ANY BUT REPUBLICANS Race for Office Now Clearly Defined. “SOLID SIX” ARE TABOOED MAY YET ATTEMPT TO GET UPON i THE TICKET. Prohibitionists Will Not Name Any Candidates, But May Later Desire to Be eard. Oakland Office San Franicsco Call, 98 Broadway, Feb. 3. The Democratic convention of last night is being generally discussed among the politicians. Certainly no such convention was ever before held in Oakland. The nominations m e not in any way | affected the political situation, nor can any appreciable results follow from the filling of any vacancies by the committee. It has been rumoreu that some of the nominees for the Council will not serve | and that some of the *‘solid six” of the present Council will strive with the City Central Committee to get on the ticket. This is denied by many members 6f the committee, who realize that it would be absolute suicide to allow any of the names of the disgraced six on the ballot. The nomination of Davie has now nar- rowed the race. of Mayor to two can- didates—Davie with the Independents and Democrats, Auditor Snow with the Mu- nicipal Leaguers and Republicans. There are only two candidates for City Engi- neer: R. M. Clement, the incumbent, and cholce of Democrats and Indepenuents, is opposed by M. K. Miller, the Street Su- perintende whose work has been in- dorsed by rly every merchant and r in the city. v Dow should go for a holi- a he has no campaign to make. The Independents could not find a man to take the nomination, and although the Democrats nominated T. F. Garrity, it is as yet uncertain wnether he will run or decline. Arthur H. Breed, the Republican ndbm- inee, and D. C. Hinsdale, the Municipal League candidate, will have to fight it | out between them, for the Democrats and Independents have left the office vacant. For Treasurer T. Gilpin will run | against James A. Salpaugh, the nominee of the Independents. As a Populist four years ago, Salpaugh made a great run on | the county ticket, but there is no doubt that the Republicans will have a big ma- jority. So” far nothing has been heard of the Prohibitionists and it is believed that they will make no nominations. During the | ast two years the temperance workers | fave been doing much organizing, and it is not unlikely that during the next two | years they will attempt to secure the passage of some legislation by the Coun- cfl of measures in accordance with their ideas. Withing the past year an attempt was made to decrease the liquor license, and another attempt was made to regu- late the cost of licenses according to the sections of town in which the saloons are placed. Nearly every, Council has, in some way or other, to deal with the llquor question. But the result of the special election held about a year ago_to decide as to whether prohibition is desired or | not, resulted in the negative, and many merchants have stated that it is not like- | Iy that existing ordinances will bechanged | during the coming two years, because it is unwise from a commercial point of view to be continually agitating such matters. The City Central Committee of the In- dependents completed thelr ticket to- night by nominating Alfred G. Swain for City Auditor. For ward School Directors —David Rutherford, Fifth Ward; Henry Menges, Sixth Ward. At large—Charles L. Ingler and J. Lemon. T. F. Garrity was indorsed for City Attorney. The com- mittee will meet the nominees next Mon- day night to arrange for the campaign. OAKLAND, Feb. 3.—The Republican City Central Committee met to-night and recelved the resignation of C. A. Chiches- ter as Councilman at large. B. H. Welch of the Seventh Warl was placed on the ticket. Chichester has also resigned from the Municipal League ticket. WILL CONTEST THE LANDLADY’S CLAIM GEORGE WHITE TO FIGHT HIS COUSIN’S WILL. A Fourteen-Year-0ld Boy Who Claims to Be Heir to a Fortune of $82,000. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 3. The initial step in a contest that will prove decidedly interesting was taken to-day, when George Cox, through his attorney, Phil M. Walsh, filed a petition to be appointed guardian of the person | and estate of his grandson, George C.| White, aged 14 years. The estate consists | of a claim of unknown value against the estate of the late Charles Walter Willey. ‘Willey's father died some years ago in San Francisco, cutting his son off without | a cent. He contested the will and_ was | awarded a judgment for $82,000 in Judge | Coffey’s court. The executors of the elder Willey's will, however, carried the case | to the Supreme Court, where it is now pending. Only about a year ago young Willey was found dead in a San Francisco lodg- ing-house. Death was due to asphyxia- tion, and it was stated at the time that he had committed suicide. Young Willey left a will _bequeathing his entire estate to the landlady in whose house he had been stopping, and in which instrument he averred that he had neither kith nor Now young White, Who is a cousin of young Willey, will' bring a contest to break the will and obtain a share of the estate. The petition for the appointment of Cox as guardlan will be heard before Judge Hall on February 13. ' Fabiola’s Success.

The Aggrieved Wife Is Advised to Sue for a Divorce to Rid Her- self of Him. =l Oskland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Feb. 3. The Lunacy Commissioners to-day ex- amined Charles W. Webley for insanity, but refused to recommend his commit- ment to an asylum. From the testimony adduced at the ex- amination it appears that Webley made things exceedingly lively at his wife's boarding-house because, as he put it, “she always wanted to boss the ranch.” Mrs. Webley testified that while was trying to make a I ing-house at 83 Wood refused to do a stroke of work, but would torment her. She did not propose to stand it any longer, and concluded to have him sent to an asylum. The prisoner wered all questions in- telligently and ir ted that his wife was trying to railroad him to an asylum so that she could get a younger and. hand- somer husband. Mrs. Webley, who appeared to be disap- pointed over 'the refusal of the exam- ;:ers to recommend her husband’'s com- nitment, was advised to sue for a divorce if she wished to get rid of him. —_— MUSH WRECKS A FAMILY. Mrs. Ruth Caflning Deserts Her Jus- band Because of a Breakfast Dish. ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Ruth Can- ning, a bride of three months, has de- serted her youthful spouse and the home of the couple at 1643 Park street is deso- late and lonesome. The husband, Walter Canning, accounts for the departure of his wife from the fact that he found fault -with the manner In which she pre- pared the mush for Wednesday morning’s breakfast. In the evening, when he returned home, the breakfast dishes were still on the table. There was no supper and no wife. Mrs. Canning left no word behind and her husband has been unable to find a trace | of her. Acquaintances, however, express the belief that she has returned to the home of her father at Raymond, Tuol- umne County. ‘When the war broke out young Can- ning was a member of Company G and wanted to offer his services to Uncle Sam. His sweetheart, Ruth Dennis, ob- jected. She said she could not live if he left her, and the thought of Spanish bul- lets perforating his precious being almost drove her to distraction.. Canning yielded to her entreaties and stayed at home while his comrades went to Vancouver Barracks. So it came to pass, as stories go, that ‘Walter Canning and Ruth Dennis were married. There was decided objection to the match on the part of the groom’s parents, but -they cut no figure in the case. Scarcely is the honeymoon passed and the young wife’s dream of love is o'er. The husband is left to shift for himself and prepare his own mush for breakfast. ———————— Funeral of Engineer Jonas. ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.—The remains of Engineer Henry H, Jonas were borne to the grave to-day, followed by as large a funeral cortege as Alameda ever wit- nessed. The services were held at Ma- sonic Temple, the halls and corridors of which were crowded with the friends of the deceased, eager to pay a final tribute to_the memory of the dead hero. Oak Grove Lodge No. 215, F. and A. M., conducted the services. Worshipful Mas- ter Elmer Johnston officiated. and Chap- lain Richard Crooks read the prayers. A quartet ' consisting of Mrs. Marguerite Wilbourn, Mrs. F. H. McCormick, Dr. J. G. Humphrey and E. D. Crandall sang “By Cool Siloam’s Shady Rill,” ‘“Abide With Me” and ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The pallbearers were: Eugene ‘Woodin and George Clark for the Masons, E. A. Randlett and Fred Payson for the Odd Fellows, Augustus Hotchkiss and John McCauley for tite Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Among the floral offerings was a tall shaft from the Broth- erhood, a gate ajar from the Masons and a sickle from the Odd Fellows. ———— Fighting Shoe Thieves. OAKLAND, Feb. 3.—George Dawson en- tered’a shoe store at the corner of Wash- ington and Eighth streets shortly after 7 o’clock to-night and stole a pair of shoes. He was apprehended just outside the door by the proprietor, W. J. Sears, who im- mediately called for the police. In the fracas Ernest Colby and two others came to their pal’s rescue and attacked Sears in order to release Dawson. ° During the scuffle that followed Dawson was shoved through a plate-glass window and badly cut about the hands and face, put man- aged to escape before the police arrived. The officers traced the men to a cheap lodging-house on Seventh street near Broadway and Franklin street, where Dawson was captured on the roof. Colby ‘was also arrested. = e Death of Mrs. George Miller. ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Isadore Rose- lett Miller, wife of George R.

The Valne of Plants and Cost cf Running Them Now Reaches Figures That Are Without Precedent. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 3. Within a fef days the City Council Wil commence its ax..ual task of fixing water rates. There is some doubt as to whether the Council will tackle the mat- ter at all, several of the members declar- ing that thé legality of their work is in such a muddled condition that they do not see the use of laboring for nothing. A comparison of the incomes of the two water companies for the past ten years shows that at the present time the com- bined companies will derive an income fully one-third greater than the highest SAN FRANCISCO CALL ATURDAY, AIMED T0 KILL, THEN CUT HIS OWN THROAT Luigi Piccioli Becomes a Slaughterer. PERFORATED HIS PARTNER THEN HE ENDED HIS OWN EXISTENCE. Money Matters of No Particular Moment Were the Principal Cause of the Bloody Tragedy. Lulgl Pleclolt, a barber, fired four bul- lets into the body of his former partner, Manuel Silva, last evening, and afterward walked back to his own shop and cut his throat. Silva was taken to the Harbor Hospital, where it was found that his wounds, though serlous, were not neces- sarily fatal. Piccloli died almost instantly and his body was taken to the Morgue by Deputy Coroner LaComb. The shooting took place at the barber shop of Silva, 1343 Dupont street, shortly before 6 o'clock. Piccioli, whose place of business is at 1317 Dupont street, left his shop and walked up the street to that of Silva. No one except the principals was in either place at the time of the tragedy, and just what happened is not known, but the supposition is that Piccloll went there income ever pald in one year by Oakland for water. The highest income ever re- ceived for water was $407,926 20, which was received by the Contra Costa. Company before theé opposition started in 1894. Last year the conditions were peculiar. For the first six months the combined companies charged anything they could get, and prices were very low. They ar- rived at an agreement by which a mod- erate price was charged, and after June they charged under the schedule of 1897. Although ~entitled during the last six months of last year to charge the ‘““Wood- ward” rates, they did not do so until Jan- uary of this year. Consequently no por- tion of the combined income has been de- rived from the schedule over which there was such a bitter fight last spring. Last year the income of the two com- panies from the sale of water was $324,851, The increase in the rates over the aver- age rate charged last year is, as near as can be ascertaind from a comparison of bills, about one-third greater than in 1898. Consequently if no change occurs in the charge for water during 1899 the total income of the combined companies for this year will not be less than $460,000. In 1888 the income of the Contra Costa Company was $316,199 and the operating expensés $84,551. In 1893 the operating ex- penses were nearly $89,000. Then competi- tion commenced and in 1898 it cost $63,000 to earn $192,200. The Oakland, or Dingee, company earned an income last year of $132,661 at a cost for operating expenses of $48,783. These figures show that the two companies last year spent $111,644 in operating expenses to earn $324 851, while in 1893 the old company alone earned $408,- 000 at a cost of $88,762. In view of the doubt as to the total amount of plant upon which the City Council must allow the water companies ¢ per cent in addition to operating ex- penses, the above comparisons are of spe- cial interest, RED CROSS LADIES ON THE VERGE OF WAR TREATMENT OF COMPANY G STARTS A BIG ROW. Mrs. Mary McGurn Thinks Mrs. Baurhyte’s Remarks Were In- tended for Her, and Retaliates. ALAMEDA, Feb. 3.—There is an open breech in the ranks of the local Red Cross Society, growing out of the lack of a pub- lic demonstration upon the return of the boys of Company G. The society has broken up into factions, therefore, and it is hard to speculate on the outcome. Un- pleasant remarks are being made ‘with total disregard of effect. > The statement of Mrs. William Baur- hyte, published in this morning’s Call, acted like a firebrand in the ranks of the society. It was the talk of the town. Mrs. Baurhyte asserted that the treat- ment of the -soldiers was ‘“a c¢rying shame” and that Alameda stood alone among the cities of the State as the only locality ‘that did not give the returning boys in blue a royal welcome. he lady, it seems, gave\xpreulon to the sentiments of one faction of the Red Cross_Society. The other wing, repre- sented by Mrs. Mary McGurn and Mrs. S, A. O'Neii, take'an entirely different view of the situation. Mrs. McGurn has the idea that Mrs. Baurhyte's remarks were di- rected at her and retaliates by assertin that the lady is inclined to be jealous an only represents the minority of the mem- bers any way. . Mrs. McGurn and Mrs. O'Neil were sent to Vancouver to look after the wants of Company G. Mrs. Baurhyte did not go. Mrs. McGurn asserts that the society never thought of such a thing as giving Company a reception. Mrs. Baurhyte says they did. Mrs. McGurn says the so- ciety has no money and did not desire to ask the citizens for assistance. 'Mrs. Baurhyte says they should have $60 or $70 in the treasury, and the merchants and business men say that they were waiting for the ladies to come around for contri- butions and that they were all ready to | do the handsome thing. with the iIntention of killing Silva, and after entering the place lost no time in emptying his revolver into the body of the unfortunate man. Five shots were heard by Police Officer Mullender and Victor de Martini, who were on the street, and they immediately rushed to Silva’s shop, where they found the proprietor lying on the floor, unxle to speak. The wounded man wrote a piece of paper, which he handed to Mul- lender, that Piccioli had shot him. When the officer learned who was guilty of the | attempted murder he went to the shop of | Picciol and found him.dead. He was seated in a chair, with his head lying on a table. There was a gash six inches long on the right side of his neck, from ‘which | the blood was pouring, and the razor with which he did the work was lying on the floor in front of him. The pistol he had | used to shoot Silva was in the dead man's pocket. Lieutenant Esola of the California-street police station was notified of the case, and | detailed Sergeant Helms to make an in- Vestigation. As near as can be learned, there had been an ill feeling existing be- tween Piccioli and Silva for some time, but just what the trouble was none of the friends of the two men seemed to know. At one time the two had been partners in the barber business at the place run by Silva. Two years ago the partnership was dissolved, Piccioli sell- ing Silva his interest. The retiring part- ner opened a shop at the corner of Broad- way and Kearny street, which he oper- ated until about six months ago, whén he formed a partnership with Joe Silva, a brother of the wounded man, and they conducted a business at_ 1317 Dupont street. Two weeks ago Picecioli bought out the interest of Silva, and since then has been running the shop for himself. It is believed that in the two business transactions between Piccioli _and the Silva brothers there ‘was some dispute as to money matters which have never been settled,and this disagreement is probably the primary cause of the occurrence of last night. The immediate reason of the shooting may be a little incident which happened yesterday afternoon. One of Silva’s old customers had been patroniz- ing Piccioll, and kept his shaving mug at the shop of the latter. A few days ago he decided to patronize Silva, and yes- terday a porter was sent from Silva’s place to that of Piccloli with an order for the mug. This circumstance robably stirred up again the old {ll feellng Pic- cioli had for Silva, and after brooding over the imagined wrong he decided to des’!roi" his rival. At the Harbor Hospital Silva was at- tended by Drs. von der Lieth and True- holtz. Four of the bullets took effect and the fifth passed through Silva's clothes. Two entered the neck on the right side, one fractured the lower jaw and an- other lodged Jn the back. The physicians ‘would not allow the injured man to speak, S0 no exslflnatlon of the Bhnoflng could be secured from him. His wife, who lives at 1603 Dupont streef, visited Silva at the hoflsgltal, but could throw no light on the affair. 3 Pitcioli was born in Italy. He is about 30 years of age, and leaves a wife, who 18\ at present living in Ttaly. A Party Without a Platform. .

It expects to pull out the litical plum by gm{xg a ticket independent of the other The subject was discussed at a general meeting held last night. The drift of all the speeches was in the direction out- lined, but no definite conclusion was reached.
