By a vote of 6 to 2 the City Council to- night overruled the protest against the erection of a garbage crematory in the Ward., The vote was as follows: ain the protest—Courtney, cond Wixson. t sustaining—Bishop, Cadman, Cu- vellier, Fitzgerald, Wallace, Schaffer. It was not until the entire subject had ) sus! been rehashed in Cotncil before the decis- | action was taken. The lobby was n crowded with Sccond Warders, and ive a several hot speeches from interested prop- | erty owners were interspersed with a va- reports that were presented. The n of securing a site at the foot of Adeline street was disposed of by a state- ment from Councilman Cadman that the Crocker Estate Company refused to give the city an option on the land.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Feb. 1. Further fusion was accomplished be- tween the Republica H. Lake, the Municipal League nominee for the City Council in the Second Ward, re- signed from the ticket and the Municipal League committee named A. H. Elliott, the Republican nominee, in his place. E. P. Flint resigned his nomination for library trustee on the Municipal League ticket and the name of W. H. Gorrill, the Democratic nominee, wa the Republicans also placing Mr. rill's name upon their list of trustees. The retirement of the two Municipal T.eague nominees was entirely voluntary, and was done because the two gentle- men in question were in search of good government and not of office. Both Mr. Lake and Mr. Flint felt that it was bet- ter that the election of a good man be made certain than that an undesirable Gor- library man should creep in between them. This {s the second time that Mr. Lake has regigned a nomination that had been given him solely because he desired rather than to hold office himself. An effort has been made to settle the City Attorney fight in some way, but both James A. Johnson, the Republican nominee, and R. H. E. Espey, the Mun cipal League nominee, refuse to with- draw, and so the fight will be a three- cornered one with J. E. McElroy holding the Democratic and Unifon Labor nomina- tions. There are now only four important dif- ferences between the Republican and Municipal League tickets, the for City Attorney, one Councilman at large and the Ward Council nominees in the First and Sixth Wards. It is un- likely that there will be any fusion upon these offices, and the different nominees will be left to fight it out among them- selves. The Independent Republican party filed its ticket to-day with Z. T. Gilpin for Mayor and W. H. Brown as candidate for the Council in the First Ward, the other nominees desire to go on the ticket they will have to do so by petition, as the Independent Republicans have not yet become & party under the law. Niles Searls Jr. has filed a notice of his withdrawal from the Democratic and Union Labor nominations for library trustee. The Socialist party will hold the open- ing rally of its municipal campaign at Kohler & Chase Hall on the corner of Eleventh street and Broadway to-mor- Tow evening. Licensed to Marry.

Simpson Jumps Between Men Bent on Murder. | ) | POINT RICHMOND, Feb. 15.—Pistols were flashed this afternoon in Simpson's drugstore and but for the bravery of a plucky woman murder would have been | done. Just at tue critical moment Mrs. E. M. Simpson, the.heroine of the affray, hurled herself between the combatants and prevented their shooting each other. A Jealous husband, a young wifte and a resentful father were the chief actors in this stirring drama. The husbard is E. M. Simpson, the leading druggist of the settlement; the young wife is his pouse of a few years and the father is | G. B. Price, who makes his home with his daughter and son-in-law. | Simpson was in a jealous mood this | afternoon and proceeded to relieve him- self a little by summarily chastising his | wife. That was too much for her father, | who got a pistol and followed his son-in- law into the drugstore below. Mrs. Simp- | son followed at a respectful distance. By the time Price got into the drugstore Simpson was prepared to repel him with the ald of another pistol. High words ensued and quicker than it takes to tell it the men had leveled their weapons at each other. They were jusc about to fire | when Mrs. Simpson jumped between them | and cried, *“Don’t. | News of the ruction in the Simpson family spread fast, and soon & great crowd gathered, including Constable Moi- toza. Moitoza took the pistols away from the men but not until after a struggle with Simpson, who threatened to blow the officer’s brains out. Both men wera arrested for disturbing the peace. Mrs. Simpson left for San Francisco to-night. Mother Makes Grave Charges. | OAKLAND, Feb. 16—On behalf of her 13-year-old daughter, Emily Alves, Mrs. Felizmenia A.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 16 M. Wall, a2 ma- | chinist, who mysteriously disappeared from here six months ago after drawing his savings from a local bank and whose wife and three children belleved that he had met with foul play, has been heard from. He has written to his family in this city from Pittsburg, Pa., stating that he is alfve and well and employed there. Wall vouchsafed no excuse for his strange action. Inclosed in the epistle was a request that his wife and children join him and also a check with which to purchase railroad tickets. Mrs. Wall lost no time in complying with her hus- band's wishes, and with her little ones 13 now on the way to meet the spouse whom she had given up for lost, .« When Wall dropped from sight the po lice in the cities around the bay were notified to be on the lookout for him.
