Police Sergeant Al- & bert Kamp is responsible for the statement that it actually rained lz- & ards at an early hour this morning. The lizards that came from the sky, as Mr. Kamp firmly believes, are of the salamander variety, of pinkish color, unable to navigate on land and commonly known as a water lizard. Mr. Kamp noticed a number of these little reptiles on his way to the Clty Hall this morning and was somewhat astonished at the unusual occurrence. ‘As he passed down Oak street and when opposite the prison he felt some- thing strike his hat with considerable force and saw one of the salamanders bound off to the sidewalk. He looked heavenward to see if some one was playing a prank on him, but there was nothing above him but dark clouds. While he was still gazing skyward another lizard struck on his face and fell to the ground and then the police sergeant was firmly convinced that he was in a shower of salamanders. “I have scen lots of these things in mountain streams,” sald Mr. Kamp, “but never saw them around Alameda in such numbers before. I can’t help but think the pair that struck me came from the clouds, as I am sure thers was no place else for them to come from under the circumstances.” Mr. Kamp has saved one of the lizards and will preserve it as a curi- osity.

MOODY’S ADDRESS TO THE CHURCHGOER |A GENTLE EXHORTATION TO A | DEEPER FAITH. “There Is No Darkness to the De- parting Christian in the Valley of the Shadow of Death.” Evangelist Dwight L. Moody continued his sermon to religious people yesterday in the First Congregagion Church. Every seat in the large edific was filled, the aisles being crowded to the outer doors. The speaker, in his characteristic way, admonished both pa tor and people to be united in the service of the Master. Strangers would come in through the open gates of the church when they saw light and warmth within the place. It was a tender exhortation for a_ deeper religlous faith and the spreading of the divine truth around. The evening service Included the usual songs and prayers by the different minis- ters on the platform and a sermon by Mr. Moody drawn from the second chap- ter of Paul's epistle to Titus—the last eleven verses. It was a discourse upon the everlasting promise of the Ch life. Referring to_ the twenty Psalm, fourth verse, Mr. Moody dom was It read aright.

So far I am concerned I will fear no evil when the blaze of that glory comes down through the valley of the shadow of death.” There will be a service in the First Con- gregational Church this morning at 9 o'clock and also this afternoon at 3. —_———— PAWNED HER GOLD WATCH. How Henry Boggs Raised Money to Pay for a Dinner for Two. Henry Boggs, a_ commercial traveler, was arrested yesferday morning by De- tectives Ryan and O'Dea on a warrant charging him with felony embezzlement. The complaining witness is Lizzie Hart, 1532 Eddy street. Boggs until a few months ago lived at the same house with his wife, who finally left him. The day before Boggs departed e there is a There must be a Miss Hart had occasion to mentfon in his | hearing that she wanted her gold watch, valued at $130, repaired, and Boggs said he would have it attended to by a friend of his without cost. Miss Hart gave him the watch and since then she has not seen him. A few davs ago she learned that the watch had been pawned by Boggs for $5, and she swore to the complaint charg- ing him with embezzlement. Boggs says that he was_on friendly terms with Miss Hart and had asked her out to dine with him. He had no funds and he borrowed her watch, which he pawned to get money to pay for the din- ner. He intended to take it out of pawn as soon as he was able, but times had been hard with him. g The detectives say that Mrs. Miller, the landlady at 1532 Eddy street, will also swear out a warrant for Boggs’ arrest on the charge of defrauding an Innkeeper, as he is owing her abqut $40 for board and lodging. A dealer in notions named Hall is also after him for embezzling $40 worth of goods, which he got as samples and did not account fo: —_————— Murder or Manslaughter. The preliminary examination of Philip Ferttitta, charged with the murder of Jo- seph Sierro on Sansome street February 24, was held before Judge Graham yesterday. A number of witnesses were examined and for the defense it was claimed that the defendant acted in self-defense. The Judge sald he would give his decision to- day as to whether he would hold the de- fendant to answer on the charge of mur- der or manslaughter. —————— Knockea Down by a Hack. Peter Brandt, residing at 1226 Plerce street, was knocked down by a hack at Stockton and Market streets last night. The driver of the vehicle at once whipped up his horses and drove away. He was followed by Officer Smith, who found that the hack number was 208. Brandt was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where it was discovered that he had sustained a fracture of the forearm and his shoulder was dislocated. ——————— Wheelmen at the Ferry. Manager Fillmore of the Southern Pa- cific Company yesterday issued an order to go into effect to-day, allowing wheel- men to enter the ferry building by way of the carriage entrance on the south side instead of requiring them to force thelr ‘way through the passenger gates, as here- tofore, a_course which has been annoying to both the cyclers and pedestrians. —_— The Calvarian Society.

SugXei A | STOBR NN 012 I3 G SIS LI &G WILL MEET, BUT ONLY 10 SAY FAREWELL |Work of the Retiring Councilmen. VIRTUES OF THE “SOLID SIX” HENNEBERRY'S GOOD WORK ON THE STREETS. Woodward Has the Gratitude of the Fifth Ward—Heitman a Mas- ter Hand at the Gavel. Oakland Office San’ Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, March 24. Next Monday evening the City Council will meet for & few minutes, but no busi- ness will be transacted except approving the report of the last meeting. The mem- bers will then bid the council chamber farewell, and seven of the eleven will re- tire to private life. Now that the half dozen members con- stituting the majority are about to retire many expressions of approval ‘are heard regarding a large portion of their work as city officials. Of course it will be a long time before the memory of the water scandal of last spring is forgotten, and it would be useless for any one to attempt an explanation of that affalr, for the public mind formed its own opinion and it could not well be shaken. The six men who figure most promi- nently are Messrs. Henneberry, Earl, Watkinson, Heitman, Brosnahan ~and Woodward, Apart from the water rate business each of these men has a.record of much useful work. Councilman Henne- berry has been chairman of the Street Committee, and every one knows that Oakland’s streets are in a better condi- tion to-day than ever. While this 18 pri- marily due to the efforts of Street Super- intendent Miller, his work has beern con- siderably expedited and encouraged by Mr. Henneberry. Himself a teamster, the chairman of the committee gave much of | his time to personal inspection of street work and necessities, and retires from of- fice as one of the most efficient commit- tee_chairmen of the City Council. Major Woodward, who possessed the unhappy faculty of putting himself where he would be subject to most unpleasant- it is said, more for the | ness, has done, | Fifth Ward than Councilman_ from | that district. Members of the Lakeside Improvement Club have testified to Mr. Woodward's activity on behalf of -his dis- trict. Large {improvements have been | started, and he has obtained for Fifth Ward improvements more money than any of his predecessors. Councilman Heitman is known as one of the best parliamentarians that has ever held office at the City Hall. His methods of doing business have the respect of all of his fellow members, and his activity in behalf of certain improvements was recognized not long ago by the presenta- tion of a silver-mounted gavel. Councilman Brosnahan, with the excep- tion. of his unfortunate display of anger last spring and his vote on the water rates, has served four terms, which of i self Is proof that his constituency ap- proved of his course. “Billy” Watkinson has been_returned several times from the Sixth Ward and has attended to his duties well, and but for the one al exception he, too, might be his_own suc On Monday, the new Council will_take office and will organize with H D. Rowe as president. SUPERVISORS CONSIDER MANY WEIGHTY MATTERS WILL CALL FOR BIDS FOR NEW POLICE STATION. City and County Hospital May Be Located on Almshouse Tract. Hall of Justice. The Supervisors will have many weighty matters upon which to pass at their next meeting. The Bullding Com- mittee will recommend that bids be called for on the proposed police station in the M fon and also for the furnishing of the Hall of Justice. Under the modified plans presented by Architect Shea the station | can be built for the $40,000 which has been | set aside for the purpose. By simplifying | | the chairs d desks in the Hall of Jus- tice the original figures for its furnishing have been reduced $6400. It was decided at a meeting of the Building Committee yes- terday that separate bids would be called for for the different kinds of fitting sup- plied. Thus a dealer in desks will bid only on desks, and not on gas fittings and other materials. Chairman Holland informed his ciates on the Bullding Committes day that Contractor Bateman had assured ghn that the building wouid be reaay in uly. Among the other improvements to be recommended on Monday will be that of a new City and County Hospital to re- place the ramshackle affair now doing duty. Chairman Attridge has found fif- teen acres on the Almshouse tract which he believes would make an ideal site for this great public institution. Representatives of the Mutual Electric Light Company appeared before the Su- pervisors vesterday in support of their of- fer to light the City Hall 40 per cent cheaper than it is being done. The matter was taken under advisement. Supervisor Perrault endeavored to draw from Super- visors Collins and Attridge their majority report on' the gas question now pending before the board. Both declined to sign the minority report, saying they would present their figures on Monday. —_——————— ROUNDS GETS SIX MONTHS.

McCORMICK, the mnewly ap- pointed passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific Company, arrived here yesterday morning 1nd 1s stopping at the Palace Hotel. The position he will occupy is a new one with the Huntington corporation, and he will not undertake its duties until May 1. He is to have charge of the entire passenger business of the company, including that of the Sumset route, the Central Pacific, the Shasta route and all the 'various branches of the Southern Pacific s He will report to J. C. Stubbs, third vice president and traffic manager, and will relieve both the latter and General Pas- senger Agent Goodman of considerab of the work that now falls to them. No -hanges in the existing official personnel of the company are contemplated. | On Mr. McCormick’s arrival at the Pal- | ace he was met by a number of the gen- tlemen who are to be his confreres and given a cordial welcome. Later he vis-r‘ ited Mr. Stubbs and Mr. Goodman at their | respective offices and was in conference | with them for the purpose of familiariz- ing himself with the territory over which | he is to have jurisdiction and with the | juties of his position. Mr. McCormick is a comparatively | young man, and his rise in the railroad | world has been phenomenal. He is about | 11 years of age, and engaged in ralh’oz\d-i Ing for the first time about twenty years ago. Previous to that time he had done considerable newspaper work, his first| connection having been with the Jour- nal of Lafayette, Indiana. He entered the service of the Lake Erie and West- ern as ticket stock clerk in September, and was later timekeeper for the construction department of that road. After being employed in the freight de- partment of the Monon route he went to Loulisville, Kentucky, as the general agent of the Great Eastern Fast Freight line, and then found occupation in the city passenger and ticket agency of the same company, whence he was promoted successively to be the northern pa ger agent at Chicago and to service the general passenger and ticket agency of the road. His next position was gen- eral passenger and ticket -agent the Cincinnati, Hamilton and_Dayton, one of £ of the greatest local lines in the State of Ohio. He began his service with the Cleveland, Cincinnatl, Chicago and St. Loul Raflroad, popularly known as the Big Four, in September, 18 taking the on of passenger traffic manager, office he is now h ) been pr new duties. He has als of the American Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents, which com- prises every road In. the United States and Canada. In his new position Mr. McCormick will enter upon a much wider fleld of opera- tion. With the Big Four he has the su- pervision of passenger 2 traffic over 2 miles, while the trackage of the South- ern Pacific system is nearly 7500 miles.
