ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. TOOK HIS CHILD IN EARLY MORN :.A Mission San Jose Coach -.. - man Being Sought by His Wife. b -Lewis Fredericks on Said His Boy Had Swallowed a Needle. j. Hitched Up His Employer's Buggy and Drove Away Long Before llil Daylight. 'Oakland Office Pax Francisco Call,) 906 Broadway, July 27. | A little woman at the Salazar ranch, near Mission San Jose, is looking for her husband and little boy, but only for the former because of her interest in the lat ter. . Lewis Frederickson, the coachman for Mr. -alazar, was missing from the ranch yesterday mornine-, and so was his boy and a horse and buggy. A search was made, and late in the day Mr. Salazar re ceived a dispatch from Ban Francisco, signed by Frederickson, statins that the horse and buggy would be found at Mar tin's livery-stable at Haywards. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning Freder ickson drove into Haywards and aroused the proprietor of Martin's stable. Frederickson said his baby had swal lowed a needle and was in danger of dying. He was very much excited, and said he was very anxious to get to San Francisco as fast as possible so as to have the best medical treatment. Martin pat up the rig and Frederickson took the first car for Oakland accompanied by his child. Soon alter his departure word was re ceived from Mission .San Jose that Fred erickson and his child were missing, and it was at once made known to Mr?. Frederickson that the lost ones had been through Havwards on their way to San Francisco. Later in the day. alter re ceiving the telegram, Mr. Salazar came to Haywards and found his rig. He told a .very different story from that of Fred erickson. Salazar laughed at the needle story, as no one had heard of it, not even the child's mother. Frederickson lived on the ranch with his wife and went off without saying a word to anybody. Having charge of the stables, he could easily takeout a horse nud buggy and drive -to Haywards, which he .lid. Mrs. Frederickson, said Mr. Salazar, is not nt all anxious about the return of her husband, but she intends to make every ef fort to recover the child. Mr. Salazar says "Frederi okson's departure was not alto gether unexpectea. ADMIRED HIS MANLY WORTH, Valuable Testimonials by Carmen to Their Late .Employer. OAKLAND, Cal., July 27.— W. M.

Stewart, who served lor live v- ars as the conductor of the First Congregational hun lay-, orchestra, has been secured lor a similar position in the First M. E. Church.

His ffou«e on Fire and No Desire to Quench the Flames. OAKLAND, Cal., July 27.— Joseph I. Legault was arrested thi< morning on a charge of arson. Officer Layton was pa., in*: Legault's store, on the corner of Thirty-fourth Adeline streets, when he noticed a light within.

"Your store is on fire," said the officer. "Do what you can to put out the blaze and I will turn in an alarm." "Don't pother yourself," said Legault, I'll turn in the alarm myself when it is necessary. " . '.-'-O . . : Tne officer ran back to the frontdoor, which he ;ound open.

The Garbage Crematory Closed to All but the Company's Gatherers. i Peremptory Action Taken Because the Council Did Not Pasa an Ordinance. OAKLAND, Cal., July 27.-The gar bage trouble reached a crisis to-day, when the crematory closed its works as far as the scavengers are concerned. This action was brought about by the refusal of the Council last night to pass over the May or's veto the ordinance providing a pen alty for scavengers who did not deliver to the crematory. Before the erection of the crematory the city paid $600 per month to have the gar bage carried out of the city limit*. The crematory company offered to pay tho ciiy $250 for the exclusive right of collecting tb.e garbage ior live years, and the offer was accepted. The ordinance, however, did not provide a penalty. County Recorder Spear, who is presi dent of the company, said to-day: The company has been a losing institution ever since it was organized, simply because it has not succeeded in getting the exclusive franchise to gather garbage, which it was the intention of the ordinance to convey. Our stockholders are tired of putting up money ! and a halt had to be called somewhere. We could not understand why the Council j was not as well prepared to act in the matter Monday night as it will be next Monday. | In regard to the constitutionality of the act there can be no question, as the same legal objection was raise in the Alpers fifty-year franchise In San Francisco, where the Su preme Court held that the granting of an ex- j elusive franchise was perfectly legal. As to tbe cost i fall to see where tbe city has any complaint to make. In thirteen months prior to the tiro.3 we took the contract thecity paid $7402 to have the garbage re moved from the city. Since we have nad the contract it has not cost the city a cent, and besides we have agreed to pay into thecity $250 lor the five years for the exclusive fran chise. Ho far as the city is financially con cerned it should not take the Council long to decide upon a course of action. | GIRARD GOES TOR ROETH. j The Councilm n Writes About Second Ward Sprinklers.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1897. ELOPERS ARE AT HONOLULU Young Mrs. Arendt Writes of Her Romantic Trip to the Islands. . All Doubt the Mar riage and Flight Is Now Removed, Enjoying the Honeymoon, but Make No Mention of Their Return. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) rap«fi 908 Broadway, July 27. ) All doubt regarding the destination of Mi.s Dora Abhoff, the telegraph operator at Haywards who disappeared so sud denly about six weeks ago, has been set at res'. Tho young lady, as told exclu sively in 'J he Call, was married to Henry ArenJt of Pleasanton before the latter left 0:1 a tour of the world, taken at his father's request, and for the purpose of breaking up the love match between the young couple. The young lady has written to her family at Haywards from Honolulu, and says they are having a delightful honeymoon. The letter is a very romantic one. and al though it has not been made public, there has been enough told to let out the secret. Miss Dora, or rather Mrs. Arendt Jr., went to San Rafael many months before it was known and was quietly married to Henry Arendt. Then came the time when Henry's father thought the young people were altogether too fond of each other. Henry's father, who is a wealthy and highly respected merchant of I'leasanton, was oppo* ed to the match chiefly because of a difference of the religions of the two families. He was away on a tour of" Eu rope when the wedding took place, and he thought it would be a good thing to send Henry away on a like tiip. It was all arranged and Henry started for Honolulu, as was published at th? time. New comes the story of the voting wife; of how they decided not to be pa rated and hoy.- .lie went tf_ San francisco and took passage on the steamer, and of how she peeped through a stat room win dow and saw her husband's father wish ing his boy good luck and congratulating himself that Henry was being removed from her presence. Then there is a short chapter of the trip to the Islands, and a description of the pleasant apartments they are now occupying at 135 King street, Honolulu. TherMs no mention of returning, and us the groom had money enough to la.t a few months, the honeymoon will not end till the tall. ■"" * ff- DAIRYMEN PROTEST, The Claim Mnde That- Berkeley Milk Has Been Urjuatly i-.xcl ruled from San Krancisco. BERKELEY, Cal., July 27.— ac- j tion of Food Inspector Dockery with re- . gard to cutting off the supply to San Francisco of Alamßda County milk is causing a material loss to Berkeley dairy men, though their cattlo have all been in spected and tested Dy Dr. Rowell, the local health officer. The dairymen do j not propose to suffer through Oakland's j failure to adopt a tuberculin ordinance, but will strive to secure a modification ot I Dockery's order in i_vor of Berkeley. This atternoon a committee consisting of George S-.-hmidt, Joe Smith and P. Guic_.arn_.nd went to San Francisco with the purpose of interviewing the inspector and securing the privilege of putting Berkeley mi.k on the entry list. N THEY WANT MORE WATER. Berkeley Trustees Score tha Local Company for Their Poor Supply, BERKELEY, Cal., July 27.— Around scoring was administered to the Alameda Water Company by the Board of Town Trustees 1a..'., night. The latter decided to put the screws to the company, and either farce it to furnish a larger supply or give up the field to some one else. Trustee M arston, who had made an ex amination of the reservoir, stated that there is much danger for shortage before the rains replenish the supply. He said, furthermore, that the flow in some part* of the town is poor all the year. President Richards and Trustees Hoff and Frank declared that the company had been frte and liberal in making promises of a better supply, but had fallen to fulfill them. It is understood that Trustees Frame and Maloney, when they request the put ting In of six mains on University avenue, will at the same time require a definite written agreement from the Alameda company to supply more water. In the event of a refusal to give such an agree ment overtures will be made to another company, presumably the Contra Costa. Only lv Name. BERKELEY, Cal., July 27.— Berkeley day nt me Oakland Exposition will be a "day* in name and not in reality. A vig orous effort was made on the part of the director-* to interest the citizensof the college town in the plan for a grand dis play on the 29ih, but to no purpose. Twice they nm to Berkeley on set dates, but were received with little enthusiasm. Next. Thursday, through the courtesy of the exposition authorities, will be known as "Berkeley day," but nothing will le done to distinguish ii from any other oc casion, excepting, perhaps, the singing of one or two selections by a Berkeley quar tet. The prime cause of the lack of inter est seems tO be that Berkeley has but lit tle of an industrial nature to exhibit, and because the exposition was at first repre sented to tie an Oakland affair, no'refer ence having been made to Berkeley until very recently. ltf>rkolev Press Club. BERKELEY, Cal., July 27.— A press club is about to be formed in Berkeley. The college town has about twenty-five newspaper men alone. who are eligible for membership. The promotes of the or ganization intend fitting upaclubroom with a suite of sleeping apartments for the accommodation of visitors from other kindred organizations. Those interested in the formation of the order are: C. C. .'nisi George W. Henshall, W. E. Creed, W. N. Friend, Will C. Russell. B. H. Berk helm, Edward Rawlins, F. W. Marqoaad and Charles L. Andrews. " ..-.:'.- Another Wave Motor. * BERKELEY, Cal., July* 27.— A. H.

If successful, the motor will he used to pump water front the bay ana to furni power for. milling aud other purposes.., . The invention consists of a box eight feei lone immersed in the water and stand inconend. Inside is a float and th. mo tion imparted to it is supposed to furnish the power. POLITICS AND THE CHARTER Workers . Scan the Creeds /of Mayor Phelan's Committee. Not a Buckley Democrat Named in the List of One Hundred. Reformers Claim Rainey Has the Best ' of It— How the Parties Are Divided. The politicians have begun to scan the personnel of the newly appointed charter committee very carefu I. Pretty nearly every shade of political party is repre sented in the list of 100 names selected by Mayor Phelan to draft tho groundwork for a new city constitution, ana to a casual observer it would seem that the loaves had been pretty generally distributed. Still there is some grumbling going about and it comes principally from the Refoim and Buckley Democrats. It may have teen an oversight on the part of the Mayor that the followers of the dethroned blind boss of Livermore find themselves without a solitary representative in the lons list, but they will not look upon it tnat way. The wise ones say nothing, but wink the other eye at the lamentations of the Buckley people, as if to insinuate that it could not be otherwise if Mayor Phelan is sincere in his endeavors in behalf of a new and good charter. But how of the Reformers? How is it, they are asking, that of the three dozen Democrats on the committee their num ber can be counted on the two hands? And to make matters worse, the majority of this number are known as the "busi ness element," who are too much en grossed in their own affairs to give much attention to a carter or anything else that brings them in contact with the working politicians. Of course Gavin Mc- Nab and E. P. E. Troy may be counted for some steady drilling, but Rainey has such stalwart followers to oppose them as Sammy Braunhart, Charles Wesley Reed, Co. in M. Boyd, J. J. Dwyer, "Joe" O'Con nor, Ed -•'.iz.er.ilu and Jim Butler. That's a working force that is enough to put fear into Max Popper and Colonel Sullivan and the other purists who are aiming to get the better of th. big stable boss. Rainey conned his list carefully yester day and" he was not heard to complain. With the present City government under his thumb it may be taken for granted that he will see that all the member, of any department on the committee will not be anxious to oppose his bidding. The School Department is well repre sented, there being no . less than six teachers in the hundred names, and the school board Will see to it that nothing creeps into the document that the free holders will submit to the people for ap proval that is at variance with the ideas of the present powers on how to run a big City. . fy'y \"~.Z: All in all, however, the selections of Mayor Phelan me*?*., with general ap proval. If the practical politicians have beet) taKen care of the business element has not been forgotten. The list of the committee embraces some of the best people in the City. The Republicans are well represented, and it is the general opinion that they are of much better political timber than was expected. There is a tendency, in some quarters to decry the presence of two many of the "kid clove" element on the committee on the ground that .thi- class will take but little interest in the doings ot the association, thus leaving the way open for the bosses to accomplish their purposes. The Non partisans have an unusually large element on the committee, headed by that stal wart champion of reform, George K. Fitch. Among the Republicans whose names appear on the committee are P. A. Ber flerot,Madison Babcock, A. C. Boldemann, Joseph Britton, 0. D. Baldwin, A. S. Baldwin, Hugh Cmi;:, W. J. Cuihbert-on, Harbor Commissioner Ci.adbourne, Hor ace Dayi ■■. Colonel E. A.

Van Reynegom, Al Bouvier, Irving M. Scott, Julian Sonn tag, Vanderlynn Stow and Horace Wilson. . The Not*- Partisans have in their num ber George K. Fitcn, Dr. Jerome A. An derson, GeOrge L. Center, L. R. Ellert, F. W. Dohrmann, Richard I. Freud, I. J. Truman, James 8. Webster, Frank J. Sul livan and A.

WOULD USE A SHOTGUN. Two Men Who Tried to Hold Their Po.itions by Force. OAKLAND, Cal., July 27—Two war rants have been sworn out, the circum stances leading up to which approached murder. Ben Shields and his son Irving own tho Eucalyptus Oil Works at Fruit vale. A lew days ago they quarreled and a constable was pin in charge.

Glaze also produced his eun, and Mrs. Shields ran in between them and prevented any bloodshed. To day Glaze swore out warrants against the Shields charging . exhibiting deadly weapons and b.ittery. .

The Newspapers Give Reasons Why Their Valuations Should Not Be Increased. The Supervisor*, sitting as a board of equalization, heard the heavy business m n, representatives of several corpora tions and the daily newspapers yesterday on the question of their assessments, but made no changes, for the reason that they desire to consider the matter further before acting. Those who appeared before the board were impressed with the Idea voiced by M yor Phelan, that it is not the intention of the equalizers to make raises arbitrar ily, but merely to fix assessments at such a figure that ihe State Board of Equaliza tion will have no cxcu.e for putting on a horizontal raise, as was the case last year. ""We would liko to impress upon you, gentlemen," stated Mayor Phelan, "that it is our desire to get as many data as pos sible and good sound reasoning to present to the State Board of Equalization our claim that the assessment of this City and County should not be raised. Hence wo invite you. If you will, to join our com mittee in meeting the State Board." Several members of heavy firms prom ised to be on hand when the time comes to present cogent reasons why the total assessed value of San Francisco should not be raised. Representatives from the various morn ing and afternoon newspapers were pres ent to explain their respective positions as to tho assessment, already settled upon. The same action was taken in their cases as in all the others, the board taking the matter under advisement until some fu ture date, when the question of making raises will be settled. El Milo Club's ilebt*. ALAMEDA, Cal., July 27.— The muddle over El Nido's debts still remains un solved. Some time ago I. P. Allen, an officer of the dead club, was jriv author ity to sell the properly of ihe institution and pay as much of the debts as .he pro ceeds would cover. It is said that the property was sold, bnt that no settlement has been made with creditors. Wnen Akesson <fc Co. brought suit for certain wet goods sold and del. vered. it was sougtit to ascertain the whereabouts of the funds in question, but the attempt was not suc cessful. Accordingly Air. Alien Is to be put on the stand before Recorder St. Sure and mude to tell what has become of the clhb's belongings or their proceeds. It is probable that suits will be brought against the members, as the club incorporated and they are individually responsible. C. 11. Naylor'a Funeral. ALAMEDA, Cal., July 27.— The funeral of the late C. H. Naylor, chief accountant of the maintenance of wny department of the Southern Pacific, will be held 10-mor row.
