That the girl was not instantly killed was considered a miracle by her rescuers, who were attracted by the faint cries for assistance which they heard. She was very badly bruised and cut, but suffered no serious external injury. After the girl had been hauled out of the pit she fainted, but up to that time she had maintained her presence of mind sufficiently to assist th, cuing party in their work.

The City Council decided to-night that the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland shall no longer be allowed to act as surety for any employe of the city of Oakland. This action was taken be- cause of the stand of the company with regard to its alleged liability on a bond furnished to the city by Roland W. Snow while he was Auditor and ex-officio As- sessor. When suit was filed against Snow and his sureties for the collection of money alleged to have been illegally withheld, the Fidelity and Deposit Company filed an answer declaring irresponsibility in the matter. It was stated that as the city was In the possession of nothing to show that such a bond ever existed the surety company refused to be considered a party to the suit. This action was taken be- cause it was learned that the bond fur- nished the city had been lost. A resolution was introduced by Council- man Rowe, deciaring the bonds forfeited of any city official whose surety was the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Mary- jand and prohibiting the company from agaln appearing on the bond of an em- loye of the city of Oakland. The reso- ution was adopted unanimously. Councilman Cuvellier submitted a report of his conference with A. W. Von Schmidt of the Lake Tahoe and San Francisco Water Works with regard to a water sup. ly for Oakland. He said that the city of lE’hm Francisco would probably purchase the rights of the water company and this city could purchase water at a reasonable rate from the city across the bay. Oak- land would be directly on the pipe line and might easily be supplied. —_——— City’s Answer to Water Company. OAKLAND, May 21.—The answer of the city of Oakland to the suit of the Contra Costa Water Company will be a general denial of the allegations contained in the complaint filed by the corporation. The trial of the case will not be commenced for some time, as Superior Judge Hart of Sacramento, who is to preside, is a del- egate to the Republican convention at Philadelphia, and will not return from the East until after its adjournment. sl ol o s Death of Henry Smythe.

Fink was denied a divorce this afternoon by Judge Hall. She sought | a separation from her husband, Alonzo | W. Fink, on the ground of extrere cruel- ty. In denying the divorce, Judge Hall took occasion to roundly score both par- | ties to the suit. He said that they were | | both to blame for the present condition | of thelr domestic affairs and that the | wife was not entitled to a decree. | “You have chesen your paths and you | must continue to travel them,” sald the court. “‘Both you, Mrs. Fink, and your husband are at fault in this matter and I do not consider that you are entitled to a divorce from him. The faults of each | of you have been aggravatéd by the ac- tion of the other. The charges of ex- treme cruelty made by the plaintiff are not substantiated. The petition for di- vorce is denied.” When the decision was announced Fink | left the courtroom jn company with his| counsel, Attorneys Reed and Frick. He wore a broad smile of satisfaction, seem- ing pleased at the turn of affairs. A few moments later the plaintiff, ac- companied by her attorney, H. C. Mec- Pike, and her daughter, who had been on | her side all through the trial, left the | Courthouse. The question of a monthly allowance for the support of Mrs. Fink and her | daughter will come up for consideration | | before Judge Hall on June 2. It is not ex- | pected that a contest will ensue over the amount to be paid, but that an amicable | | settlement will be made and the troubles | | of the Fink family be closed in the legal calendar. | The suit of Fink against Fink, who is | a well-known commission merchant of | San Francisco with a handsome home in | Alameda, was stubborniy fought by the | | husband. Soon after the filing of the | complaint charging him with cruelty, he | came forward with an answer accusing | his wife of being too gay for a married woman of her years. She was accused | of ignoring Fink and accepting the com- | pany of other men. A number of letters and photographs were placed in evidence | by Fink in an attempt to prove his allega- | | tions.

P P ALAMEDA, May 21 vesterday afternoon young Harry Horst battled with a swarm of bees at his apl- ary, %02 Santa Clara avenue, and before he finally got rid of the enraged insects | had been rendered blind by their stings. The same bees that attacked Horst alighted on a valuable horse and when the coachman, Fred Schrieber, attempted to drive them away they turned on him. Horst is interested in bees and puts in his letsure time on the several swarms which compose his apiary. He prepared yesterday to remove the honey from one of the hives. He was fully protected against the objections of the bees, hav- ing provided himself with canvas cloth- ing and a mask for the face. All would have gone well with him if an unforeseen accident had not occurred. The mask slipped off at a critical time, exposing his face to the attacks of the bees. Thousands alighted on his flesh and sent their deadly little weapons home. Horst tried to brush the insects oft with his gloved hands, throwing sand on them and running through brush, but th(?‘ kept a-coming. Finally, after a prolonged fight, Gustave, an elder brother, discov- ered Horst's plight. Directing him to a hose, he turned a strong stream of water on his brother and socon had the bees beaten off. The unfortunate's face, neck and head swelled to immense proportions after the encounter. He was unabie to see, as his eyes were closed, his brother having to lead him home. A physician was sum- moned to attend the wounds and prescribe against bloodpoisoning. “it must have been over an hour that I fought before attracting my brother’s at- tention,” said Herst to-day. “I don’t know what would have haj sistance hadn’t reached me. After having their fill of Horst swarm made it warm for a trotting horse belonging to Henry Wichman, which was tied in a lot a block away from the scene of the first onslaught. The frantic ef- forts of the horse to shake the bees off attracted the attention of the coachman, Fred Schrieber, who trigd to assist the animal with the busine: nd of a broom. Schrieber saw things coming his way then and made tracks for the barn, receiving a number of remembrances from the bees himself. Lange’'s Mother-in-Law Objected. OAKLAND, May 21.—Fred W. Lange, the well-known baseball player, was to- day appointed guardian of his daughter, Diulcie Lange, 8 years old. Lange's moth- er-in-law, Mrs. Adeline Tyack, opposed his appointment. When placed on the stand mother-in-law _had been a_constant cause of trouble to him. After Mrs. Tyack had been heard Judge Greene issued letters of uardianship to Lange, with a bond of 1200. The child bas an income of $250 a year. — e Suit to Recover Taxes.
