8 ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. VOTERS BORED BY ORATIONS AND HARANGUES Patience Must Last a Week More. OLD CLOTHES ARE AN ISSUE THE AFFIDAVIT MAN IS IN THE POLITICAL ARENA. Many Unusual Incidents Make the Election Next Week One of the Most Interesting in Years. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | -, 308 Broadway. March 5. j 1 If a hundred candidates want to earn j J the undying gratitude of a suffering city i they should resolve not to inflict a single j ■ speech on their victims during the coming i •week. I don't think a hundred votes will be | « changed by tlfe oratory, argument, facts ; , .and fancies and vilification promised dur ing the last seven days of the campaign. j 1 For a year and a half Oakland has been ; ' upset by political campaigns of one kind , or another, and by special elections. Now ! the only people who are attending the meetings are the followers of the speak- ; < era, who go to make a snowing and cer- ] tainly not to be convinced or entertained. ■ It is surprising how few can be induced to • spend the evening listening to denuncia- ' turns and promises, even when a few na- ' tional firebrands are thrown in. Nothing I new Is brought up, and each side is kept | • busy contradicting what the other camp j ' says, so that in the end everybody winds | i up pretty much where they started out. ■ I can conceive of there being va.ue to the I orators in some 01 the stump speeches | ] made, if Barnum were alive and looking ' : out for freaks for the cap and bells ap- | _ pendix to his circus, but outside of this : . field some of the ambitious declaim are ' very much out of place. One of the most amusing "issues" -* the ; campaign so far has been a suit of the 1 , Street Superintendent's r»'-* clothes. Une • issue was set up by Mr. Miller's political . opponents, who declared that H» had once , j employed a man who was broke ♦■» do gome work at his home and had paid him : with a suit of old clothes. The inference i ) ■was made that Mr. Miller had employed ! , the man on the streets and had paid him • •with old clothes, to the financial advan- ■ tape of said Mr. Miller. This was very se- j rious and although I doubt if anybody i ' ■who will help to elect Mr. Miller placed ! ; any reliance on the story, it was consid- i ' ered necessary to resort to the affidavit ! ■ man, and when all the sworn testimony ' ] •was in it appeared that a certain man had | been employed by Mr. Miller to work at ] his home and that Mr. Miller had given ( him for his day's work, a dollar, some meals, and a suit of clothes "of as much : 1 value as a new $15 suit," and that said ] man had afterward been given work on ' '•■ the streets, for which he received his j ; .■warrant.-; and was regularly paid. The ; • next tirr.»». Miller wants a 'lay's work done j \ •around h'.a home I wish he would let me i ; know. ! J ' Then) hare been more than rumors dur- j j Ing the past two days of certain nasty | . prevoiailons to be sprung this week con- ! i cerninsr Home of the candidates now run- I Jiing for -ward Counetlmen. Details of ■ •<iivorc«« suits and of squandered fortunes jj me promised, with all the attendant evils. ] I sincerely hope that any candidate wno ■will open up such a campaign will be j , juried so deeply next Monday that he wni Jiever be heard from in public -ife again. The public heart goes out to Auditor Enow in his greatest sorrow. Sometimes, In the busy humdrum of public life we are apt to acquire the habit of regarding an j official as a machine— or a register of facts and figures. Such men are found to be I convenient in daily life, especially to j newspaper men, but it is not easy always j to associate the individual with the of- j fice. With Mr. Snow, tm9 is not true. ! It is no trouble to him to enter into the j spirit of a visitor's query and to explain j anything that may be insufficiently under- j stood. The Auditor has seemed to Know ] his business so thoroughly that it is a | pleasure to know him and to note me | sincerity with which he enters Into his : duties " Still, to the mass of the public I he was "Auditor" Snow, a man of figures i and practical ideas. Now it is different, j "We know another Mr. Snow. The unwel come hand of Death has reveale^ the bet ter side of this worthy official's char acter and the secrets of his home nave i been, of necessity, brought out. Now it j Is known that for years he has been tak- , Ing a part in the human drama more I noble even than serving the public and of •which few knew anything. And — <th this load of added anxiety the busy work of his office went on with unfailing regu larity This is manhood and represents the character of the Republican nominee for Mayor. Perhaps for the first time since <_o.,viand Was a big city, her political complexion is j to be definitely determined next Monday. ] to a single vote. On looking at tna cample ballot it is seen that there are but two names for City Attorney. This is the most important office in the city gov ernment, not even excepting the Mayor. The two candidates are City Attorney Dow, the choice of the Republicans and Municipal League, and Thomas F. Gar- | rity the choice of the Independents and i the Democrats. In former years there have always been three leading candi dates and "some others, but this time tne line is drawn squarely. It is one of the most interesting points to be decided at the election. Mr. Dem's friends claim 1000 majority. Mr . Garrlty's friends say "walk over." t , . , . Another cause of much speculation Is the vote Councilman "Woodward will re ceive in his ward. One of the shrewdest politicians has said seventy-five. I am in clined to double that estimate, it being a big ward. Mr. Woodward is confident he •will succeed himself. Here is the- latest piece of campaign experience that has come my way. I will give It verbatim. "There ie a certain place in town where there are about thirty citi zens who will vote as you tell them to if ' you do the right thing. Hire a room down there and, you know, the saloons are closed on election days. Well, put a few gallons of wine in there and a few sand- I wiches, and during the lunch hour march in your men. Let them have plenty of 'dago red' and then give them your num ber and march them to the polls. You can do it easily with a trustworthy man and about eight dollars. Remember, Da vie was only beaten art: the last election by about forty men." This was all said in such evident good faith, or I would give away all the details. If I should re " ceivc thirty-one votes I hope 1 shall not be credited with the purchase of the other thirty for eight dollars handled by a "trustworthy" man. STUART W. BOOTH. Funeral of Thomas A.

ALL KINDS OF JOKERS MAY BE EXPECTED Water Rates WiH Be Fixed To-Night. OAKLAND'S ANNUAL STRIFE THE SOLID SIX APPEAR TO BE BEPENTANT. After the Experience of Past Years Any Kind of a Surprise May Be Confidently Looked Tor. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 5. The most important meeting of the year will be held by the City Council on Mon day night. The business of fixing the wa ter rates will be taken up and no one is able to guess what may happen. There have been some most remarkable Bur prises in the Council chamber over the fixing of water rates, and last year it was the cause of several riots. The ordinance handed in to the commit tee last night by Councilman Earl has up set all the calculations regarding the pro gramme of the "solid six." Everybody had expected that Earl's ordinance would be a high one, especially as only two of the members of the six are seeking re election. It is, in reality, the well-known "non-partisan" ordinance of 1897, gener ally considered to be the low-st rates ever passed by the Council. Mr. Upton, on the other hand, has introduced an ordinance ' much higher than that of Mr. Earl; but | j much lower than the rates in the infam- j i ous document passed last year. There will undoubtedly be some warm debating at the meeting. If indications • ; are faithful the "solid six" have gone to I pieces and the city can depend upon a j fair rate for both public and private use. j i Whether the Earl or tfle Upton ordinance \ will pass is doubtful. If the six stand ■ • t'.rm for the low rates they can pass them ; ! and the lobby will be regaled with the pc- j ; culiar exhibition of the men who voted to j j rob the citizens last year fixin- a lower > ! rate than that favored by the five men , who have been loy-l to their trusts throughout. There are those, however, who would not be surprised to see U»e six spring a totally new ordinance to-morrow night. Such "things have hannencHi before. Independents Meet To-Night. OAKLAND, March s.— There -will be a j meeting of the Independents at Gibbs' store, North Oakland, to-morrow night. Hon. John L. Davie. R. M. Clement, Colonel Thomas F. Garrity and others will address the voters on that occasion. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, j THE VAUDEVILLE STAGE— C. D. H.. Los Angeles. Cal. If you have an ambi tion to appear on the vaudeville stage j file an application with the manager of I the theater at which you would like to | I appear. HOMES FOR CHILDREN— A. S., City. i A person who is unable to support a child I by reason of misfortune and inability to obtain employment should notify the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to I Ch'ldren and it will take steps to have the child cared for. PROPERTY AND POLlCY— Subscriber, Sierra Valley, Cal. The question asked in regard to property and Insurance is not sufficiently clear to enable this depart ment to ascertain what the writer wishes to have answered. This department c;in not guess the meaning of correspondents. THE SHARKEY-JEFFRIES FIGHT— A reader, Redding, Cal. The published reports of the match between Sharkey ! and Jeffries in San Francisco May 6, 1898, ' fail to show that Sharkey was knocked ! down by what is known as "a square blow." ~lf that had occurred it certainly I would appear in the reports. KANSAS CITY— T. J. L., City. There Is a Kansas City in Kansas and one in Mis souri. The reason why there is a general i belief that there is but one city of that ; name Is explained in an answer to another ! correspondent published under the head lof "As to Kansas City," February 8, | 1899. in Answers to Correspondents in The Call. A LANDLORD'S RIGHT— E. S. G., City. The question as to a landlord's : rights in the matter of a tenant holding over for a short period beyond the time for which rent was paid would depend ' on the contract or understanding between ! the tenant and the landlord, and without a knowledge of the terms of the contract a. definite answer cannot be given. EVERETT AND BELL— E. M. L., City. It was not W. M. Everett, but Edward Everett of Massachusetts who was a can j didate for Vice President in ISGO with ! John Bell of Tennessee, and It was not M. W. Everett who was Secretary of i State in the Cabinet of President Hayes; but the Secretary of State who served in the Haves Cabinet from 1877 to 1S&1 was William Maxwell Evarts. FOUNDATIONS.— A correspondent who believes that the answer given recently in this department in relation to founda tions was not full enough writes: An owner may excavate to any depth under fourteen feet below the curb level and shall notify the adjoining owner to sup port his building during said excavation. ! On the other hand, if the owner desires | to excavate below a depth of fourteen feet he is compelled to support the house adjoining, which is not down to a depth of fourteen feet. DYING INTESTATE— Subscribers, Car ter, Cal. "If a woman dies, leaving no will, no debts and a piece of property, say 320 acres of land, can the three chil dren, the only heirs, by any procesß of deeding the property to one another avoid the trouble and expense of probating the estate in court, and could they give a clear title to an intending purchaser?" Is a question that is answered by stating that it cannot be done. The estate must go to probate In order that the heirs may Becure their legal rights. THE NEXT LEAP YEAR-Subscriber, Canyon, El Dorado County, Cal. In order to correct the slight variation of time, which takes place every year since the adoption of the present calendar, it was ordered that to make the time as nearly correct as possible every hundredth year, except such as is dlvisable by four hun dred, should not be a leap year. The year 1896 was a leap year, but as 1900 cannot be divided by 400 there will not be twenty nine days in the February of that year. The next leap year will fall In the year 1904. ELECTRIC RAILWAY-J. M. 8., City. In the overhead circuit system of elec tric railways one or two conducting wires are carried along the road or by its side or directly over the center of the track. Each motor car takes its current from the conductor by a flexible wire or other connection attached to a little car or trol ley that rolls along the conductor. In some systems two parallel wires are carried from tho dynamo station, and the trolley by double lead 3 throws the car motor into a bridge circuit from wire to wire. In other cases but a single overhead con ductor is provided ana the motor takes current from it, and then through the wheels, rails and perhaps WRter and gas mains connected with the rails Is ground ed. Then the current passing from wheel to rail increases the tractive force of the wheels, but if the rails are dirty the grounding is imperfect and resistance is set up. CENTURY RACE WON BY LAWSON "Terrible Swede" Breaks the Record. RIDERS BUNCHED AT FINISH TEN CONTESTANTSONLY INCHES APART. Fournier's "Infernal" Tandem Does a Third of a Mile at a 1 :28 4-5 Clip — Exciting Events a* San Jose. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, March s.— John Lawson of Chicago, known as the "Terrible Swede," won the great long distance race here this afternoon by a narrow margin, and thousands of throats cheered him and thousands of eyes saw him to it. Not only did he win it. but in so doing he established a new world's record for 100 miles of 4 hours 34 minutes and 30 seconds, the best pre vious mark being 4:40. The cycle meet, which commenced here s'esterday, was continued to -ri w befo-" nn Immense audience, remind ing one of the halcyon clays of cycling in 1896-7, when the Garden City Club had to enlarge its grandstands after every meet to accommodate the in creasing crowds. It augers well for the season of 1899, and the club here is quite pleased in consequence. The principal event on to-day's pro gramme was the 100-mile race between all the long-distance cracks who have j recently been competing in San Fran csico. Added interest wa3 given the \ race because "Charley" Wells, the big Bay City rider, started, and considering that this was his first long distance race he did phenomenally well. A spe- t cial prize had been offered by the man- j agement for the man leading the most i number of laps, and Wells won it, head ing the bunch eighty-seven times, against Barnaby's seventy and Fred- | cricks' forty-seven. Wells finished the j race in sixth position. At one time, on j the forty-fourth mile, it looked as if he would gain a lap and thereby win, j as no one could hope to regain it on j him. An amateur sprint race was on, \ and as the men flew by the hundred- j milers on the last lap, Wells, who was leading the long distance men, tacked i on behind the sprinters and by follow ing them gained half a lap on his op ponents. The sprint race ended then, ! however, and as he had no one to pace him further the bunch soon caught up again and he was back in his old posi- j tion. The starters in ... the big race were i Nawn, Stevens, Goodman, Chapman, ; Clem Turville, Charles Turville, Barna by, Wells, John Lawson, Iver Lawson, Pilkington, Fredericks, Ashinger, Aron- ! son and Julius, fifteen in all. They i were sent away at 1:20 p. m. Ashinger and Aronson dropped out at eleven j miles on account of the killing pace, I and Pilkington lost a lap on the nine j teenth mile from the same cause. Clem ' Turville lost two laps on the thirty fifth and then quit, and spent the re mainder of the afternoon on the front ! seat of Fournler's "infernal machine. Iver Lawson and Fredericks gave it up j at sixty-five miles, and the remaining ten finished the race. The finish was wildly exciting, the ten men all being bunched on the last lap. Barnaby and Chapman were in front and started the sprint. Barnaby I rode wide to let his team mate, Chap | man, through to win, but it also let I Lawson through, and the sturdy Swede beat out the Georgian by less than a foot right at the tape. The order at the finish was: Lawson, Chapman, Good- I man, Stevens, Charles Turville, Wells, j Julius, Barnaby, Nawn and Pilkington, ! and they all finished within inches of I each other.

He is looked upon as a coming man. The Bay City Wheelmen's riders cap- | tured both the short distance open j events. W. G. Furman of that club won the mile open professional in two j straight heats from a field composed of Weinig, Gibson, Cotter. Downing, Leon art Eaton and Wyman, paced by Ald ridge Downing was second and Leon art third in both heats, and they hal 'it out with Furman each time. Furman is in wonderful shape, as he must well be to beat those men. He won the mile open Saturday from a similarly fast Ralph Robinson, a recent addition to the Bay City Club, won the amateur mile his closest competitors being M. E Francis, George Doll and "Brother in-law" Wastle. Robinson showed rare speed and used good judgment, win ning two straight heats. ' Henri Fournier and Clem Turville put up an astounding ride on the "in fernal" tandem. They covered a third of a mile in 29 3-5 seconds, which is at the rate of 1:28 4-5 for the mile. Four nier's seat came loose and they did not : atempt a mile, for, as the Frenchman j expressed it, at the gait they were yo ing he preferred his saddle more secure, because Turville did not know how to manage the motor, and if he (Henri) fell off there was no telling what might become of the outfit. Fournier was offered and refused $2000 In cash to-day for his "infernal" tandem. He sets no price on it. He sold his motor tricycle for $500 to Miller, the six-day champion, and his motor bicycle for $1000 to a San Francisco millionaire, whose name he says he was requested not to disclose for the pres ent. To add to the record breaking fea tures of the splendid day's sport, Or lando L. Stevens of lowa went a mila paced by Fournier & Co. In 1:40 3-5, which beats McFarland's California record six seconds. The San Francisco wheelmen all re turned home on to-night's train, but the Easterners will remain here for several weeks to complete their training for the: Eastern circuit, as the track and climatic conditions suit them per fectly. Another meet will be held here next Sunday under the same conditions, including a long distance event, prob ably at 100 miles, and several short dis tance races. Floyd McFarland, jvho has been ill, will go into the competi tion to show his San Jose friends -what he can do, and some good sport Is looked for. MAY FIGHT AT BERGEN BEACH Big Purse Offered for Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. CHICAGO, March s.— Fitzsimmons and Jeffries may decide the championship at Bergen Beach, near New York. Martin Julian said to-day the owners of the re eort had offered $4<\ooo for the fight, and it would be given them unless something better should turn up this week. Fitz simmons and Julian arrived in Chicago to-day and will remain for a week. Offr-rs for the fight will not be received after this week. The time really expires to day, but has been extended for a few days. The ■ rletors of Bergen Beach are anxious to secure the contest and are willing to give the gate receipts as a purse In case the $40.n0u is not accepted. Watsonville Beats Troop C. SAUNAS, March .".—One of the most interesting and exciting parties of base ball ever witnessed In this city took place to-day at Recreation Park between the Watsonvllle team and Troop C nine of Salinas. It was the third of a series of three games between the two teams, each having won one game. A large number of spectators were present and witnessed a ten-inning game. Watson ville was victorious. McCarthy and Pe ters constituted Watsonville's battery, while Palmtag and C.reen occupied like positions for the troopers. The score was 9 to S. Gilt Edges Defeat Seattle. SACRAMENTO, March s.— About 1200 people enjoyed a crand game of base hall here to-day between the (Jilt Beiges of this city and the Seattle champions. It was a fast and snappy game from start to finish, and was won by the Gilt Edges by a score of 7 to 5. Doyle was signed by Manager Kripp of the local team to-day and will pitch the coming season. When the War in the South Ended. During the Civil AVar the majority of volunteers enlisted for "three years or during the war." In the popular minds that conflict ended at Appornattox. with the surrender of General Lee. Of course it did not end then, because General John ston kept the field for pome days after that event and General E. Klrby Smith did not surrender the troops west oi the Mississippi until still later. The Supreme Court in one of its derisions where the question arose decided that the Civil War both began and ended, legally, on the dates of certain proclamations by the President. The legal beginning was held to be April 19, 1861, as to South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas, and as to Virginia and North Carolina April 27, 1-1. April •' IKC.6 President Johnson issued a procla mation declaring the war at an end In Virginia, North Carolina, South < arolina, Georgia Florida. Mississippi. Tennessee. Alabama. Louisiana and Arkansas and August 30 of that year another proclaim ing the war at an end In Texas. As Lee Bun-endered April ?. 1865, the popu.ar .imp for the end oi the Civil War.it will be seen thai a year, less a week, elapsea from that event and the first .of the Presi dent's proclamations f°™al£ proclaim ing the war at an end in Virginia and certain other States and more than six teen months till Texas was Proclaimed l to be In a pacific frame of mind.— Chicago Post. a t A Bailroad's Bed Aflame. A portion of the Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburg Railroad will have to be rebuilt at Punxsutawney, Pa. When the work was started last spring the contractors mok a lot <>f cinders and cuke dust from the Walston cokeyarda for the foundation of a large tilling at the lower end of the town Dirt was piled on top of this arid the road apparently completed. Recently clouds of smoke Issued from under the ilirt pile, the filling began to Bag, and it became apparent that the coke pile under the dirt was on fire. Holes were dug in the mound and thousands of gallons of water poured \ n to quench the fire. It had r.o effect, and now the whole dirt pile will have to be removed or a new track built.— Pittsrmrg (Pa.) Times. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
