SCHAFFER YIELDS HIS KEYS.
The Haywards Line Cannot Collect
Fares From Mail-Carriers.
Postal Expenses.
The Oakland, San Leandro and Hay
wards road is bound by its franchise to
carry postmen free within the city limits
of Oakland. Postal Inspector Irwin visited
Oakland yesterday and obtained informa
tion that will be forwarded to the depart
ment at Washington regarding the convey
ing of mail-carriers while on duty.
For several weeks past Secretary Stone
of the Oakland, San Leandro and Hay
wards road has been gathering information
from the various streetcar companies in
the county regarding the carrying of post
men. He has found that in several cities
mail-carriers ride free and in many the
Government pays, while in others the mail
carriers pay their own fares. In a few
days a petition will be sent to the authori
ties asking that the roads be remunerated.
"This move on the part of the railroad
companies to collect fare will do a lot of
harm to the postal service in this city,"
said Postmaster J. J. White yesterday.
"At the present time nearly all the re- \
ceipts of the office are used for expenses as
Oakland is the worst paying office for its
size of any in the country.
"Mr. Stone's position is not very clear.
About a year ago he wanted a franchise
along the water front somewhere and was
y prepared to give anything for it to keep
out competition. At that time the letter
carriers' transportation was being consid
ered and Mr. tone was granted the fran
chise on consideration of carrying the
postmen free inside the city limits. If the
railroads refuse to carry the men we shall
have to arrange matters so that we can take
the greatest advantage of our rights on the ;
Haywards line."
TO DEVELOP OIL FIELDS.
A Company Formed to Bring Petroleum
to Oakland.
Articles of incorporation have been pre
pared and will be filed with the Secretary
of State to-day for the development of the
oil fields in Contra Costa County. Since
the matter was investigated by the fuel
committee of the Manufacturers' and Pro
ducers' Association of San Francisco about
two months ago the development of the
oil-bearing sba.e has occupied the atten
tion of capitalists, and a company has
been formed to push the new industry.
The samples carried off by the committee
were thoroughly inspected and tested and
found to be very valuable and' to contain
enough oil to warrant working the field.
The district within which the oil has been
found covers several thousands of acres,
and prolific as were the places inspected it
is the opinion of experts that the main
field has not vet been located.
A. L. McPnerson. who has had several
years' experience in mining in Los
Angeles County, is at the head of the com
pany and said yesterday that the develop
ment of the wells was "only a matter of a ;
short time.
** For Decent Streets.
The practice of rushing a four-horse
sweeping machine through the streets
every evening, that has prevailed in Oak
' land for years past, has at last met with
opposition. The contract for sweeping
bituminized streets will soon expire, and
the merchants on the main thoroughfares
are anxious to adopt the block patrol sys
tem, which seeks to keep the streets clean
by preventing them from becoming dirty.
With a few minor exceptions the system
proposed is similar to that put in use by
• the Merchants' Association of San Fran
cisco. If this move can be carried through
the next step will be to have the cross
streets on each side of Broadway bitumin
ized for about three blocks.
The Board of Works favors the new
plan if it can be proved to be practicable.
A petition will be presented to it in a few
days asking that the change be made, or
that a test be made before the contract is
awarded for another year.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1895.
AN OFFICE IN DISPUTE.
County Detective Herbert's
Warrant Is Rejected
as Illegal.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
An Attempt Made to Legalize the
Function of the Last
Legislature.
County Treasurer Sanford of Alameda
County refused yesterday to pay the first
warrant presented to him by _.. V. Her
bert for a month's salary as county detec
tive. This action of the Treasurer will
take a very interesting case into court.
Mr. Sanford had given the matter some
attention, and when Mr. Herbert presented
his warrant he was shown two Supreme
Court decisions that the Treasurer said he
had been advised of by his bondsmen.
The office of county detective was created
by the Supervisors a month ago. It created
much surprise, and called forth much dis
pleasure all over the county, and was con-
demned as a waste of public money. The
salary was fixed at $125 per month, and H.
V. Herbert, the discharged claims adjuster
of the Southern Pacific Company, was ap
pointed to the office. At that time ther«
was less criminal business before the courts
than at any time for the past two years.
When the office was made it was stated by
Supervisor Church that it was necessary
for the District Attorney's office to have a
detective at its disposal to assist in gather
ing evidence for criminal prosecutions.
The Sheriff's office was said to be inade
quate, and additional help was necessary.
It was not known till last night that an
attempt was made during the last session
of the Legislature to introduce a clause
into the county government bill providing
for the creation of the office of county de
tective. The measure was championed by
ex-Chief of Police Schaffer, who tried to
get the support of the Alameda County
delegation. A member of the delegation
said last night that the inquiry they made
convinced them that such an office would
be a wanton waste of public money.
"Assemblyman North, myself and Sen
ator Earl," said he, "were approached and
asked to aid the bill. We made a little in
vestigation and found that the Sheriff of
Alameda County was netting from $7000 to
$10,000 after all expenses. The District
Attorney was making $5000 clear and was
supplied with offices and a typewriter.
'•We concluded that with such margins
the allowance must be very ample, and
positively refused to aid the measure,
which died. When the appointment was
made Mr. Sanford's bondsmen warned
him of his liability if he paid any warrants
to a county detective, and he decided not
to do so. The place was created solely for
the incumbent, to whom the Supervisors
are under personal obligations, and it was
an outrage, but fortunately the remedy is
so simple that nobody will suffer, 'the
salary proposed in the addition to the
county government bill was $150, but I see
the Supervisors fixed it at $125."
Mr. Sanford says he is absolutely sure of
his position, and has the best of legal ad
vice. The Supreme Court opinions that
he handed Mr. Herbert are: County of El
Dorado vs. Meirs, 100 Cal., p. 203, and
County of Los Angeles vs. Lopez, 104
CaL, p*. 257. ln each of these cases the
Supervisors created the office of County
License Collector, and the Treasurer re
fused to pay the warrants. The Supreme
Court said in each instance: "The Board
of Supervisors has no power to create any
office except that power be delegated to it
by the Legislature." In each case it de
cided against the License Collector.
THE OCCIDENTAL CLUB
Democrats From Bernal
Heights Held an Animated
Conference.
President John McCarthy on the
Subject of Party Organiza
tion.
One hundred or more Democrats, mainly
young men, came in from Bernal Heights
last evening to attend the Thirty-fifth
Assembly District meeting at the Occi
dental Club on the hill. The number that
went in filled the basement hall and made
the meeting quite animated.
P. F. Dundon, chairman of the organiza
tion committee of the Occidental, called
his guests from Bernal Heights to order
aud explained in the smoothest style of
eloquence the necessity of * harmony and
unity among the Democrats of the City.
In a lucid mariner he outlined the meth
ods of organization which the Occidentals
had adopted and endeavored to impress
upon his hearers the idea that the meeting
which he was then addressing was pre
liminary; that it was to be guided by de
liberation in the initial proceedings and to
keep deliberation in mind throughout sub
sequent transactions.
William Bell, an impulsive partisan who
had .riven his time and car fare to attend
the conference, proposed to proceed im
mediately to the business of the organiza
tion: but he was restrained, ruled out of
order and very nearly suppressed by the
diplomatic Dundon, who kept insisting oa
Ereliminary deliberation, with a direct
int that no permanent officers could be
chosen without the approval of the di
rectors of the Occidental.
A motion to make Michael Kernan
temporary chairman prevailed. A nice
looking 'young Democrat arose t_» address
his fellow-citizens of the district, when a
thundering voice shouted:
"What are you doing here? You voted
the prohibition ticket at the last elec
tion!"
•Another voice: "Yes; he has no busi
ness here. . He ought to be in jail
The temporary chairman restored de
liberation without delay and the meeting
with a rush elected district and precinct
captains. _B_-3_3lgi?^fifl^^
In due time the board of directors of the
Occidental will pass upon the qualification
of the captains chosen.
John McCarthy, president of the Occi
dental, said in an interview last night: "It
is not the intention of the club to interfere
in local affairs. Contentions in the various
districts and precincts must be settled In
the respective localities." To assist the
party in organization the conveniences of
the bouse will be tendered to Democrats.
Our purpose mainly is to deal with Na
tional and State affairs of the party and to
effect as far as possible permanent club
organizations in the various districts. The
club is in a prosperous condition and its
membership is constantly increasing. :\ We
recognize that there must be a bead and a
method for organization, but beyond pre
scribing certain regulations to govern the
formation of district clubs we shall not in
terfere in local matters.".

Edwards was very prominent in Toronto,
Canada. Burr Edwards of Chicago has re
quested that the surviving member of the hap
less family, little Lois Edwards, be sent on to
him, as he desires to adopt her. ,-
CALAVERAS MINING DEAL.
An Accident to the Hoisting Machinery
of the Stickles Mine Temporarily
Suspends Operations.
An important mining deal was closed in
Calaveras County, Smith Flat mining dis
trict, a few days ago by the sale of the
Fred Bruno mine to an English syndicate,
composed of prominent mining men hail
ing from New York and Boston. The price
realized from the sale of the mine is $75,000.
Otto Doling, the proprietor of the Angels
Hotel at Angels Camp, was in the City
yesterday and reported that the pumps
have been placed in position at the Stickles
shaft and that the work of draining the
mine was rapidly progressing, but owing
to an accident, which might have resulted
fatally to a number of miners, the work of
hoisting water by means of the skips, has
been temporarily suspended.
A skip borrowed from the Fox mine was
placed underneath the water skip in the
Stickles shaft, and by that means, double
the amount of water was hoisted at each
trip of the skip, when by an unlooked-for
breakage of the machinery the water-hoist
could not be stopped. The skips, with 1400
gallons of water aboard, crashed up into
the sheaves of the galley-frame, breaking
the rope and dropping the skips to the bot
tom— feet— rapid descent tearing
the guides from the wall plates and remov
ing a number of the timbers.

COLONEL BARRY'S BOOKS.
Ills Officers Want to See Them and Are
Holding; Meetings to That
End.
The finances of the Third Infantry Regi
ment, N. G. C, are causing trouble, and
many and bitter are the words being ban
died over the regimental books. There are
charges that Colonel Barry, the retiring
commander, is not accounting for the
money which has been placed in his hands,
and the officers have met, and will meet
again, to sift the trouble to the bottom and
arrive at a conclusion that will satisfacto
rily explain the trouble.
The principal cause of contention 's over
the whereabouts of $400 camp money which
has been received by Colonel Barry, but
about which the line officers claim to know
nothing. As a matter of fact it is State
money and Colonel Barry is bound to ac
count only to the adjutant-general for it,
but some circumstances surroundine the
case make the company officers feel justi
fied in inquiring into it.
In 1893 the Third Regiment went to
camp upon a fund which was made up in
the regiment. Each of the seven companies
subscribed $50, and the staff subscribed $50
more, making an even $400. This amount
the $400 received by the colonel was sup
posed to pay back, but there has been no
payment made, although the money ar
rived here some months ago. !
This fund the company officers want to
know something about. Colonel Barry
says it was expended m camp expenses,
but the strike camp was the only one since
the camp of 1893, and all expenses of the
strike were borne by the State. The officers
do not charge irregularity in the books of
the regiment, but they do want to see how
the money was expended. Hence the
trouble.
An. Arizona Murder.
: William Larkin of Kingman, Ariz., has
written to The Call in regard to the re
ported murder of four prospector?, about
thirty miles from that . place. Mr. Lurkin
has made investigation, but has found no
confirmation of this item of news.
The origin of the story probably lies in
the fact that a man named Hall was found
unconscious near Kingman," but after due
care and attention from the county physi
cian he has quite recovered his health.

neryes have lost their healthy tone. Per
sons suffering from rheumatism, neuralgia
and any of the countless results of loss of
nerve power find a marked change for the
better almost at once upon faithfully using
Paine's celery compound.
Mrs. James Arthur, whose portrait i*
given above, writing from her home in
Spokane, Wash., says:
"I suffered for three years with neuralgia
and rheumatism. I tried different remedies
which would give me only temporary relief.
Last year in January and through the
spring months I suffered terribly. I could
walk only a short distance, and some days
not at all. But then I began for the first
time to use Paine's celery compound. It
cured me permanently, and I have not been
troubled since! My knees were so bad last
year that I could not sit down or get up
alone. Now I walk every day, and it causes
no stiffness or lameness in the joints."
Testimonials from men and women in
every State and county and town in the
country might be published telling of sim-
ilar speedy cures. They carry this plain
advice to other sufferers:
Take Paine's celery compound!
