Others Declared to Be on the Payroll of the | Monopoly—A Big Sensation Is Prom- ised in Oakland. OAKLAND, Feb. 11.—The accusations that distinguished the fixing of water rates last year are to be repeated, but in 2 more pronounced manner. It is . said that documentary evi- dence is in existence and will be produced at the proper time that will startle the city and make certain people tremble for their future. One Councilman, at least, is pledged in writing, so it is said, antedating his advent to the Council, to vote for the water rate question precisely as dictated by the water monop- olies: Promises over the signa- ture. of a high dignitary of oné of the companies made to 8 certain Councilman are said to-be in existence, and a petty cashbook showing the month- 1y allowance to three members of the Council will, it is said, also be forthcoming.

Captain Nlelson salled her in through the heads with a good breeze, but off Fort Point the wind fell light and the vessel drifted up the bay with the tide. At one time she was dangerously near to Shag rock, but, luckily, a puft of wind carried her out of trouble, and then the captain decided to anchor. The Wrestler had a somewhat similar experience to the Rodertck Dhu. The first | few days out from Kahulul the vessel | rushed through the water before a fair ! wind, but off the coast nothing but con- | trary winds were encountered. | _The British ship Balmoral salled for Portland to load wheat for Europe yes- | terday. The vessel arrived here in Oc- tober last after having been in colllston with the British ship Glenericht off Cape Horn. The Glenericht was so badly dam- | aged that she had to put back to Monte- | video, where she was afterward sold by | the underwriters. The Balmoral came on to Ban Francisco, and for the last two months has been at the Unlon Iron Works | undergoing repairs. | _ Before getting away Officers Shaw and | McGowan of the Harbor Police went ‘ aboard the Balmoral and arrested an | ex-convict named Martin Brady on a charge of grand larceny. Brady was | aloft helping to bend the sails when he saw the police boat coming. He imme- | diately .“vlmywd down a backstay and took refuge in the vessel's fore peak. It took the ship's crew and the two officers near- |1y an hour to unearth the ex-convict. A few weeks ago Brady saw a bale of | blankets, belonging to Brown Bros., ly- ! ing in front of the Gibraltar Warehouse. The warehouseman was away at lunch, s0 Brady loaded the bale of blankets onto a hand truck and trundled it along San- some to Bay street. There he hired a man for four bits to help him, and be- | tween them they got the blankets along | Bay to Mason street. There the helper | was paid off and Brady and the blankets | disappeared. The next time they were | heard of the blankets were being sold to | hack drivers; but in spite of the best ef- { forts of the police the ex-convict could not be caught. Finally he was located on the Baimoral and arrested. | The O. and O. Company's Coptic sailed { for the Orient )‘esterda%.

The ceremony was fol- lowed by a well arranged and interesting programme of musical and literary ef- forts, closing with the singing of “March- ing Through Georgia” by the member- ship and the audience, and the offering of a prayer by Rev. L. A. Hazlett. Then followed a ¥mn uet, at which there was “a feast of good things,” and two hours were pleasantly spent after the dinner in listening to toasts and responses, vocal and instrumental selections and social chat.

A GOOD DAY’S COURSING HARES LEAD THE HOUNDS MANY EXCITING CHASES. | Olympus Beat Susie and Old Glory St. Michael a Long Course. Lost to in The first run-down of the open stakes was run off at Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday afternoon. Though the weather was none too fine the dogs and hares ran well, and the spectators were treated to gomo unusually enjoyable sport. The sur- prise of the day was the defeat of Con- nemara, Jimmie Deane's crack hound, by Lady Emma, against whom odds of § to 1 were laid by the “talent.” Lady Emma led throughout the course, scoring seven- teen points to Connemara’s five. For a star performer Connemara made a miserable course. Her heart-breaking course with Rathbone, who died two hours after the race which took place a few weeks ago, probably sapped the gin- ger out of Connemara. At any rate that is the only way her poor showing can be accounted for. The hares which were turned loose were exceedingly fleet, and they led the dogs merry chases all over the field. Olympus, at 6 to 1, beat Susie. Nearly everybody thought the latter dog had an easy thing of the course. Old Glory lost to St. Michael in an exciting course that lasted fully two minutes. The ties will be run off to-day, and as there are some ex- citing courses’ in prospect a large crowd will probably attend. FolYowing is a list of the winners and the points scored by each dog: J. P.

There was an atmosphere for favorites at Unlon Coursing Park yesterday. The dogs picked, by reason of some superior advantage, to win invariably got the de- cision. The best odds gathered in during the day fell in the course betwéen Golden Russett and Van Needa, in which the former dog was a 6 to 1 favorite. Van Needa won by close working. The cours- ing was good and the Saturday crowd was largely increased. Two pool boxes han- dled the coin of the betting crowd and a third box would have been welcome, Many ladies were in evidence and played money freely on the favorites. Resuits: Puppy stake—R. E. de B.

ANOTHER DOSE - FOR THE DOGTORS _'_._____ A Second Broadside Against the Men of Pills, Potions and Purgatives. The Energetic Promoter of Dr. Sanden’s Great Electro-Medical Invention Determined to Fight fo a Finish, - The readers of THE CALL were last week treated to an advance copy of a circular that Dr. McLaughlin, the Western representative of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt, was about to address to the physiclans of this city and coast. The following hassince been received for publication: 702 Market st., San Franclsco, Feb. 11th, 1899. TO THE PHYSICIANS OF THE PACIFIC COAST—Gentlemen: It was without my personal knowledge and desire that this paper published a circular letter I was about to address to you. The publication, however, obviates the necessity of sending It. Now that the ball has been started rolling I am willing to bowl It further along. I again ask: What have yow to say? Have | stated the case correctly? Are you trying to suppress Dr. Sanden’s Invention for the benefit of humanity? or Is It on account of the narrow, selfish fear that your incoies are in danger? How much longer do you suppose you can keep the world in ignorance of what can be done for human suffering by this practical method of applying vital electricity? Is not your policy shortsighted? After thousands have obtained relief by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt will not the knowledge thereof gradually percolate through all strata of the community? And are you not driving nails Into your own financlal coffins? The prudent policy would be to accept the Inevitable grace- fully and co-operate with the new order of things. I make no claim that Dr. Sanden’s apparatus can supplant all medicines and all doctors. You are daily saving people from premature death or chronic Invalidism by prompt and proper medication, and you must always continue to do so. The one and only practical ap- plication of electric currents Is not advertised as a cure for all diseases. Its principal efficacy is against troubles of a chronl¢ nature and of the nervous system, In which, as you know, drugs are a notorious failure. But even in these cases it must be used under directions of a competent physician. These directions I am now compelled to issue direct from my office, upon diagnosis made upon careful statements of patients. You would be ustified in asking a fee for prescribing and directing the use of Dr. San- den’s Electric Belt. I must admit, however, that you would often have but one fee where now you have ten or a hundred. But can such considerations cause you to Ignore your plain duty? Come! Be manly and honest to yourselves! Is It not better to face a disagreeable situation and make the most of It, rather than to avoid it until It grows much worse?

Never sold MET AT THE DOOR BY A LOADED GUN AN UNWELCOME STRANGER AT JOHN DUFFEY’S HOME. His Wife Had Gone and Left Behind Her a Dangerous Burglar Trap. John Duffey, a bartender, who until a few days ago, was employed in a saloon j on Kearny street, had a narrow escape from death by a trap, set, as he believes, by his own wife. o Duffey has for many $ears been earn- ing his living as a drayman. Business re- verses finally forced him to look to some- thing else for a livellhood and he finally procured employment as a bartender. About eight months ago he made the ac- juaintance- of and married a girl from the tenderloin generally known_ as Eva. Her true name is a mystery, but it is known that she has wealthy relatives in France. s The marital relations of the young cou- ple were at first most amicable. “Jack’” is one of the handsomest as well as most popular, young men who ever mixed a steam beer for one of the rising genera- tion. A few days ago he lost his position and at the same time his trouble began. Friday night he was walking up Market street with his wife, when he met a cou- le of friends. He saluted, as is proper, ut, as soon as he had %asse‘d them, hi: wife charged him with being unfaithful to his marriage vows. He denied the ac- cusation, and thought no more of the matter. Last night he went home as usual and ‘was surprised by the report of a pistol as soon as he entered the room. On making an examination he found that a small pis- tal had been connected with the door in such a manner that it would _explode as soon as the door was opened. Fortunately he escaped the bullet. An examination shewed him that the room had been completely rifled. All the valuables as well as the greater portion of his clothing were gone, and in their place was a note from his wife, which read as follows: “My Dear Husband: I have left you. If you ever want to see me again call at Ruby’s room to-night or I will be gone forever.” Mr. Duffey did not call at “Ruby’s room” and says he does not care whether he ever sees the erring Eva again, but he ardently hopes that she will never set an- other loaded trap for him. He is not afraid to face any man or loaded gun, but he does object to a door which is iiable to inject leaden missiles into his system as soon as he opens it. —_———— CONSUMPTION CURED.
