2 GRIST FROM THE MILL Caught From the Grewsome Grind of Politics. Democratic Contest for Governor— ■■■ ■■ at an Exquisite — Waterman's B uff— Club Heelings. ' While the Republican candidates for the nomination for Governor are working like beavers the Democratic aspirants are not •'■ idle by any means. The latter are not making a great deal of noise; in fact, they • seem to depend more upon work than talk. So quiet are they that it is extremely dit ■ iieult to arrive at anything like a tellable ■ estimate of the situation, and the only definite claim made thus far is by the friends of Coleman, who assert that they have assurances of 149 votes on the first ballot. Of this number they are looking to San Francisco for about 100, it being their belief that the delegation, or the greater >■ rtion of it, at least, from this city "will be divided between their candidate and En glish. Pond they Bay will secure probably i a few scattering votes at the send-off. This they predicate on the belief that Buckley is secretly favoring Colfinau'S candidacy and is opposed to Pond. The knowing ones, however, me laughing in their sleeves over tic matter and call attention to the fact t!>at if Buckley really favored Coleman's candidacy lie would certainly not give him the delegation or any Urge part of it on the first ballot They regard Ibis, on the con trary, as a certain indication that he de sires the nomination to go to Pond. If reports from the interior are to bo credited it wiuld k>ok to a man up a tree as if Pond would go to San Jose with an ele ment at his back that would be hard to de feat. Be has remained at home while English and Culeman have taken off their .coats and sallied cut to do or die, but just the same, he is rallying to his standard supporters from all sections of the State. iiis followers assert that lie will come over JVliachapi and uu through the San Joaquiu Valley with an army of strength that will scatter consternation among his opponents. The latter section is supposed to be friendly to Paulsell. but when ueces ;-ary his votes will gravitate to Pond. His candidacy, in fact, is regarded as a Pond movement, ana so in the same sense is that ot ex-senator John Hoggs of Colusa, whose influence will all be thrown to the Mayor. No . :ie believes that any candidate can secure anything like a nominatine vote on the lii - 1 ballot, and knowing this, Buckley, us has been suggested, can hold his forces until he has bad a chance to see bow the country districts stand and then wheel into line for Pond, claiming of course the credit of having nominated him. There is a rumor, however, to the effect ' that a combination has been formed be tween English ana Coleman whereby the latter is to Lave tbe second place on the ticket, provided that the two by uniting ' forces can control the convention. This is hardly to lie credited, and is, moreover, highly improbable, as from the fact that Tarpey, who is one of Coleman's managers, ■ is at war with English ; it is safe In assume that he would not consent to any such coa lition. SOt'GHEEII AS A DUDE. 11. m lie Appeared »t a Meeting of the County Cunimittef* The first meeting of the Democratic County Committee for more than a month [was In Id last night, and when ex-Senator . ]John Dougherty took the chair some one ■ remarked that he was arrayed In a brand new suit of clothes of fashionable cut. It was also observed that he wore an iuimacn late collar and was freshly shaved. His boots were carefully polished, and he bore every outward appearance of having come .direct from an interview with Buckley. llt was plainly evident that the social aspi rations, if the "boss "had boron fruit, and the wily Chairman is sufficiently cunning to kfep bis bead above water. It was noticed, however, that a number of the members wore flannel shirts, audit was no doubt the fear of this that kept Buckley away. At the hour of the meet ing it is apprehended that he was closeted at the Manhattan Club with me choicer spirits of the party. lies Chairman Dougherty had smoothed down liis snowy cuffs and adjusted hisguld riuimed classes", be rapped fur order, usine iiisivitu ol it gavel a small book that resembled ,i well-known work on etiquette, and politely requested the Secretary to pro • reed with the reading of the minutes. Those present noticed that in referring to the latter he dropped the familiar "Jimmy" of d.iv.> gone by, and addressed the Secre tary instead as "Mr. Long." These facts gave rise to a whispered rumor that the Chairman, like his benefactor, 15iickley,was becoming imbued with social aspirations. 'II ,• mellow tones of the Secretary had . scarcely died away on the air at the con clusion of the reading of the minutes when A. T. Spotts arose and stated that as Chair man ol the Executive Committee he would say that two meetings bad been held ot late. As a result he would report the following resolution: ItesUved, That each and all ot toe Demo ci nne Dieclnci clubs hernlolore organized under 11. constitution and plan of the Democratic party ol the city and county of Baa Francisco are instructed to meet on the following dates, tor tiie purposes herein specified, viz.: • First— Thursday.

He also read the call for the primaries, recommending that they be held under the provisions of the primary law, and both ■ were adopted unanimously. ... Ci>mmittei'uiaii liroderick from the Com mittee on Naturalization and liegistration 'reported that excellent progress had been made, and asked the co-operation of all - members present. The committee then ad . journed and a meeting of Hie Finance Com mittee was held. It whs reported t'.iat they would fix the assessments to be levied against the various candidates for I (flee, but Chairman Dougherty denied that the time fur that had arrived. i ■— i INDEPENDENT CLUBS.

This is why the quick-witted gentleman has been absent from his desk in the little partltioned-off office on Market street lately. He has been carefully laying the rods in a big fence that is to corral the dele gates to the Second Congressional District Convention. It is said ttiHt he has them so well put up that no guilty votes can slip through the Interstices. The Republicans of his district are hunt ins for a man popular enough to beat him should he carry oil the Democratic plum, but some of them say that their longest telescope has as yet failed to locate the de sired man. Others, again, smile and shrug their shoulders. Meanwhile the Secretary grins blandly and says nothing. SUGGESTIVE FIGGISES. In What (Section Are the Republicans Strongest? The Daily Sentinel, published at Red Bluff, is in favor of General Cliipuian for the nomination for Governor, and takes the friends of Colonel Markham to task for claiming that the" southern counties fur nished the greatest Republican, majority, and carried the State for Harrison. It points to the fact that Alameda, Sacra mento and Humboldt east a larger majority for Harrison than the combined south coun ties, and that while the total Republican vote in the State lor Harrison was 124,782, the south cave of these 36,664 only. li is also shown that the counties ot Alameda, Sacramento. Sonoma, San Joaquin and Ilumboidt cast 289 Republican votes more than the combined south; and again, that while the entire Republican majority of all counties was 11,036, the south gave of that only 1264. ill' inference i- drawn that the Beat of Republican empire in California is not, as . .i- been claimed, south of Te hachapi but in the north. SINKING TO BEST. The Executive Commute* Is In Its lilt Throes. The struggles of the Republican Execu tive Committee grow weaker as the days succeed 1 ach other, and at last night's meet ing the usual high-sounding resolutions failed to materialize. It was a quiet crowd that wanned the chairs in front of Presi dent Dunn's table. The only thing of im portance done was to puss the following resolution, and the ayes that carried it were given in a perfunctory sort of way that showed lack of interest or enthusiasm: Jltsolvcd, Tlmt a committee consisting of five members be appointed by Hie Chair to confer willi tin- piediici oigiiiizatious 111 me several Assembly Districts I'm- [lie purpose of pi«|iuiio«! ami submitting to Hill body a plan to be pursued in tin- selection ol delegates to the municipal, legislative and judicial conventions. The Chair named A. A. Louderhack, Charles Metzler, Edgar Dria;s, James Cunningham and Thomas Muthews, and tin- meeting adjourned. Nothing was said about the representation which bad been denied. WATERMAN'S liLUFF. lie >ny* lie Couiil Have the Nomination If lie So l).!.ir<-tl. Governor Waterman has broken out in a new place. He has just been interviewed at San Diego, and is quoted as saying: " I am not asking the nomination, but I feel confident 1 could get it if 1 so desired. My business interests are too extensive, aud 1 am preparing to spend a large amount of money in San Diegu County." "Who is your candidate lor Governor, .Mr. Waterman?" " Well, 1 don't mind telling you. My choice is General Chipmau of Red Bluff, lie is as fine a man as there is in the Mate and lias a war record second only to General Grant. He was a brave soldier and lay all night in his own blood upon the battle-lieid for his country. He would make California an excellent Governor." It is evident the Governor lias not yet heard from the primaries in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Girm-.ii Republicans Fraternize. Dr. C.

PIONEERS YIELD After an Exceedingly Stormy and Excited Discussion. Native Eons of the Golden West Whip the Veterans Icto Line and Secure Moral acd Financial Support. A special meeting of the Society of Cali fornia Pioneers was held last night in Pio neer llall to make arrangements for cele brating the anniversary of the admission of the State on September 9th next. Alexan der Muntgom cry presided and made his in. augural speech. The attendance was very lugs. J. P. Pameron moved that a committee be appointed to confer with theN. S. G. \V., that the Pioneers may participate with them in the celebration of Admission day. ( • 1. Del yon Schmidt moved as au amend ment that the minutes of the special meet ing of the Bourd of Directors held yester day morning be read, but he was ruled out of order. S. 11. Daniels wished to present a set of resolutions which objected to the Hoard of liiieotors having charge of the celebration, but he too was ruled out of order. Several members rose to a point of order, and all hud a different idea of how the Chairman should conduct the meeting, but Captain Swasey"s stcntoriau voice com manded silence, while he told his follow- Pionpers tiiat he deprecated undignified discussion, and he insisted that the min utes of the meeting ol the Board of Direct ors shu uld he read. S. H. Daniels said the call for the meet ing was not in consonance with the desire ol the Pioneers, and lie agaiu pressed his right to read the resolutions he continued to huld on high in his left band. COTJIJJ NOT CONTAIN I>Y N'AM] rK. Cries of "Read! Bead]" lnterspersed with yells of "1 rise to a point of order I" brought the Chairman to his feet, aud he announced that inasmuch as the resolutions could not contain dynamite he would permit their be ine rt-ad. Jlr. Daniels, therefore, carried his point and read the follow ing: \\ iuki.as, Tne aiiion taken by ihe society at IU ai j turned meeting held Monday.

Captain Swasey said he was willing to do what he could to calm the ruffled waters, but ho was opposed to being arraigned be fore the society for doing wrong. The ap plause was too loud and continuous to per mit the captain to hi heard, and every time his voice ruse above the uproar, the ap plause became louder, lie fulded his arms stood erect in the aisle, anil Hashed his eyes i "i_::it and left as he waited fur a lull iv or der that he might be heard, but the lull was a long time in coming, and when it did ar rive, the doughty captain again stated his objection to being arraigned belore the Si ciety fot di'iiig wrout;. uud theu tiiumph a&Uj sank into his seat. Motions, amendments aud substitutes for the whole were hurled promiscuously at tlie Chairman, in the midst ol which Mr. Dan iels kept noon his feet and met every ob jection to his resolutions with resolute if necessarily brief replies. Ex-President Ktuse asked f<.r a hearing andwasEiven It with re-peetful silence, which was a mighty change from the mo rn, m before he spoke, lie advised au iin tueili.it" vute upon the resolutions. Then L. L. Baker rose to a point of order, bnt when he snowed that he Intended op nosiofi Urn resolutions, Mr. Daniels talked him down. The Chairman then put the motion that the resolutions be read, and although it was carried, a storm was raised that augured ill for a quiet reception to the Secretary as he readied for the document to read it. How ever, lie succeeded in time, and the resolu tions were almost unanimously adopted. THE SKYLIGHTS IX DAXGIiR. A motion to read the foil win;; created objections that rose like a whirlwind and threatened to shatter the skylights: WiiKßwm, Tim Society of California Pioneers recognizes its duty aud pr ■<< game to I -ad in the eel- bunion the events ot iim early history of ihe Stale; and whereas, the .Native Sous nf ihe Golden \\est iuteud to parade oil tie fortieth anniversary of tnv admission of the State Into the Union, the l>:h day of September next, and desire the Society of California Pioneers to join them in then parade on IBM day, therefore bo it i -,../ rust .society of California Pio nee - | arncipaie iv (he line of match of laid celebration, being assigned lolls usual position, ami that aitei the conclusion the Pioueers re itini lv ii. in hall for the lunqn tto be prepared by the committee appointed fur that purpose, and lliat the Itoaid of Directors be requested to appropriate the funds in discharge i ln- expenses to be incurred by the committee in carrying out the loiegoinc plan or celebration.

SNEAK AWAY TO A BANQUET. Mr. Daniels asked if the Pioneers had sunk so low that they would accept the prominent position in parade of the Native Sons of the Golden West and then sneak away to hold a banquet all to themselves, and not assist the Native Sous with a cent of money for the celebration. He then offered the following resolution iv amend ment to the previous one: Wiii.m.AS, The approaching celebration of the foil lelh anniversary of the admission of the Slate promises to be more glorious than any that has preceded it. and wheiea'. It Is important that mis society he properly represented on that occasion. Therefore, be it Jtesolveit, That a committee of nine members, all of whom are now and have been favorable to lire movement, be appointed by the President to wait upon, consult and act with the committee limn 11. N..live .Sons of Hie Golden West, with tin- Intention of placing this society iv a proper position before the citizen of California. Mr. Kru>e said the Pioueers must unite with the Native Suns of the Golden West for tin' celebratiou of Admission day, and tin- Chairman must appoint a committee of nine to arrange the matter, "and that's all there is about it." General Hammond saiil he was one of a committee sent by 'he Native Sous of the Golden West to request a bearing. lie in- ~ tro-.tuci'il his colleagues : William 11. Miller, Grand Piebideul; If. A. Dom, Past Grand President; . J. A. Steinbach, Past Grand President; C. W. Decker, Past Grand President; W. 11. Chamberlain, Chairman of Joint Committee; and 11. P. Hammond Jr. I.IKE FATHKK AND SON. The meeting signified its willingness to listen, nnd the committee filed ou to the platform. The first speaker was Mr. Miller, who said lie understood the Pioneers would help the Native Sons, baud In hand, like father and son, In the celebration of Ad- I mission Day, ami he hoped that he had not been misinformed. Mr. Chamberlain explained that the spokesman lor the occasion was Mr. Don, whom he called to take his place. Mr. Horn said be was not afraid to look all the Pio neers straight in the eye and tell them that they must help the boys. He was not afraid to leave the affair in their bands, ana assured them that they would not be in volved in any expense, for the citizens would be liberal enough to provide suf ficient money for th« celebration. He did not want any banquet: lie wanted the Pio neers to join with Native Sons in the celebration and testify to the world what California is by seeing the founders of the State march at the head of the procession. A communication was read from L. J. Hardy Jr., Secretary Territorial Pioneers of California, and was as follows: The Tenlloilal Pioneers of California, an as sociation composed of pioneers who arrived In California prior lo September 9, 18&0. feeling an Interest in common with your society In cele brating Admission day, would be pleased to par ticipate with your society Iv the celebration of the fortieth anniversary or the admission of Cali fornia Into the Union. Hoping that some joint and agreeablu action may be taken in the mat ter, etc. It was referred to a special committee. I'Jo.m:i:j:s KXTEXD theib SUITOIiT. ' XL P. Hammond Jr. then proposed that the Pioneers allow their name to be used in connection with the celebration of Admis sion day by the Native Sous of the Golden West, and «a motion, the proposition was heartily accepted. ..-:• - Mr. Daniels again read bis resolutions to appoint a committee to confer with the Native Sons of the Golden West in order that the Pioneers may participate in the celebration. Joseph Wood moved that the matter be referred to the Board . of Directors, and while the assembly was yelling " no," Mr. Daniels said he was willing to call for a di vision on a question as to ■ whether the so ciety or the Board of Directors would have charge of the celebration. . . Samuel J. Clarke moved In amendment to Mr. Daniels' resolution that the committee of nine be selected from the body of the so ciety. A division was taken, and this amendment to Mr. Daniels' resolution was adopted. A. M. Ebbets then presented a resolu tion to the effect that tbe Pioneers vote $1000 to the Native Sons of the Golden West for their celebration, but afterward withdrew it. . Mr. Wood wanted Mr. Daniels' resolution to be rescinded, but he was shouted down. Mr. Kruse said the old Board of Directors had promised the Native Sons $1000 or £2000 for the celebration, and he wanted the Pioneers to head tbe subscription-list with $1000. Mr. Ebbets then renewed his motion for an appropriation of SIOOO, and on a general call it was raised to $2000 and adopted. The motion of Major A. Sherman that the Veterans of the Mexican War be invited to act as r.u escort to the Pioneers in the parade on Admission day was referred to a special committee, and the meeting ad journed. ON 'ill I. WAVE. The Native Sons Will Furnish an Excur sion on the Bay. The Excursion Committee of the Native Sons met at Room 0, Grand Hotel, last night. The following members v.ere pres ent: G. W. Lees (Chairman), William Gil christ and Messrs. Alexander, Lacombe, Martin, Willis, Eberbardt and Hooper. It was decided to recommend to the joint committee that the Excursion Committee be allowed three ferry-boats for the excur sion. These boats have already been of fered the committee. The committee decided to recommend that they be allowed to invite all the local yacht clubs to accompany the excursion on its trip to the chief points of interest. They will have to be towed at least part of the distance, but their presence will add mate rially to the appearance of the excursion. Free lunch will be spread on the boats, but there will be no liquor. Some talk of a couple of overland excur sions to Monterey and Ukiab was indulged in, but nothing decisive was done, as the various railroads are contemplating similar excursions. It was decided to have the excursion on the lOtli of September, instead of on the Bth, and that change will be recommended at the next meeting of the joint committee. '1 be Ball Committee decided at a meeting held last nlsht to engage the Third In fantry Baud, composed of forty pieces. SEDITIOUS RIOTS. San Salvador Has Been Ihe Scene of au Uprising. General Barries, Ccnunacder-in-Chief of the GnaUmalan Forces, Discredits the Late Rumors of War. Like all first rumors of disasters and acci dents, the recently published dispatches from the City of Mexico to the effect that war had been declared between the Guate malans and San Salvadoriaus aud that one bloody engagement had taken place, are greatly exaggerated, if not wholly uutrue. That there had been blood shed is true, but biter dispatches fail to connect the Guatemalans with it, and interviews with citizens of ettch country, who are now iv this city, tend to show that it is no more than a local insurrection. General Harnos, Conimander-in-Cliief of the Guatemalan army, who is new ou a leave of absence, was seen last evening at the Occidental Hotel, where he is stopping. In an interview, he said: " 1 dob't put the least credit iv there hav ing been a buttle between the troops of San Salvador and Guatemala. General Villa viceiicio is stated as being the leader of the onslaughtins Guatemalan troops, when the fact is be was the- Chief of the rural police, under the Menendez regime, and is a citi zen of San Salvador. 1! AMI:- liKi OME FACTIONAL. "The Menendez government was, as was announced, brought to an cud by the un timely death of General ilenendez. He fell a victim to bis political enemies, and died by poison. The Viee-PrwrMimt Gfi>«riil t/.eta, was tnerelore sworn in as Provision al President. ' "Immediately the people disunited. The leaders of the city became factional, and General Villaviceiulo, being the Chief of the rural police, who have ever been antag onistic to the city authorities, but a friend of the dead ruler, was made the object of their factional feeling. "At last the General made an open fiaht for the fast expiring government he had loved so well, and the result was an in surreetlon on the JUd tilt., at night Gen eral Maeial aud fourteen of his followers, all of whom, 1 believe, were policemen, were killed. "1 have been informed that Geueral Vil laviceucio was not in the insurrection, but was in the Department of Cfaalatcmaraco on the night it took place. So not only was he not thu leader ot Guatemalans, but of no one else." XO TKI.LIXIi WHAT WILL, HAI'PKN. "Is war likely to happen between Guate rnela and San Salvador, General?" "Ol course, 1 do not know what may happen. We have a policy, and that is the confederation of the southern govern ments. San Salvador objects to it, but what thu result may be lam uot able to fay. The report that President liarrillas thinks of resigning," continued the Gen eral, "is absurd. He is too well contented with his position to do that. The head of the San Salvadoriau army is General Ezeta, "But that country could not make a suc cessful invasion into oura. We can raise 7(i.ijoO meu, well armed, to their 16,000. Be sides not fearing the results of a possible war, Ido not fear that it will be brought about." Among the arrivals by the Acauulco last Sunday was Albert B.iructi of the tirm of Bloom, Barucli A Co., enffee dealers of San Salvador. Mr, Barucli Is a brother of Vice- Consul I'rederick Barueh of San Salvador. XHKBB HAS BKKB AS EM.OLMI.iI. When approached for an interview, Mr. liaruch declined to say much fnr fear, as he expressed it, he "might Inconvenience the firm hi their business in San Salvador" or do his brother an injury politically. He did -ay, however, thai an encounter had taken place in the city of San Salvador while he was at a ball. "Tho atfair was," he said, "wholly insur rectional, and was a protest against the Government. Ido not know of au attack upon the Government from without, but 1 did not stay until tlie matter was fully de veloped." Dispatches arrive almost daily to several citizens of both countries interested by re port iv the matter, and it is thought, that a couple of days will not only clear Guate mala's skirts of any participation in au at tempt at subjection, but will show that the trouble had ended without further blood shed. DrSLIVKKED HIMSELF UP. Kusi'wnlil Lombard* Condition Still ■ « "'>- in i■ rl Onngorouii. John Madden appeared at the Central Station last night and stated that lie was the driver of the buggy which knocked down and almost killed ltosewald Lombard on Eleventh and Howard streets, on Sunday afternoon. Madden, who la a young man, speedily found himself behind the bars with two charges against his name on the prison register, the first being that of fast driviug and the second that of assault to murder. The condition of Lombard is still con sidered dangerous. Besides the severe fractures of his skull, nis apine is also in jured. Secretary IJunter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is in teresting himself in t in- case, and should Lombard die will have him decently buried by the (i. A.

Effective Tableaux and Clever Athletic Ex hibitions at Woodward's Gardens— Games for the Children. After such a large attendance as thronged Woodward's Gardens to their fullest ca pacity on Sunday, the order of Hermann Sons did not expect that the visitors yester day, on the second day of the celebration, would be as great. Their expectations were correct, for when the doors were opened yesterday mornine at 8 o'clock few celebrants made their appearance. It was not until the afternoon that the crowd commenced to gather, and then it was mostly confined to the wives and chil dren of the Sons. For their special benefit the Arrangement Committee had provided a number of games for the youngsters and prizes were offered ad libitum to the suc cessful contestants. With proper German thrift the winners were awarded things that would be most useful in the family housekeeping. This was specially instanced in the contest of climbing the pole. At the summit of the stick and suspended from a ring were brushes, tin-pans, tire-shovels aud colan ders, with a few drums and trumpets added.- CLIMBING THE POLE. As each junior Son of Hermann climbed to the top he crabbed for a pen or brush, as he remembered the most needed useful article around tho hearth. Sometimes he made a grand success, and sometimes he didn't. When ho didn't he slid down like a Hash and was properly condoled with by his immediate family connections. When he did great was the joy of the Hermann Sons, wives, daughters, sisters and brother?. As there were plenty of contests for the children, none but were fortunate enough to secure some prize, either first, second or third, aud accordingly a gpucral joy pre vailed among the juveniles. During the afternoon two good bauds performed pleas iug selections in the Casino and in the amphitheater where the sports were held. No exercises of any kind were held In the pavilion, which was securely closed, proba bly to give it a rest after its immense exer tions of the preceding day. KEGAKDING THE ATTENDANCE. The Finance Committee of the celebration feels quite jubilant over the success of the celebration, the gate receipts discounting all past records. It is stated that 10,000 per sons paid an admission leo of 25 cents on Sunday lo the gardens. bo much enthusiasm having been ex pended by the Sons of Hermann on the previous day and evening in fully observ ing all the celebration ceremonies, quite a number remained at home last night. Compared with the crowd ou Sunday night there was a marked diminution in the attendance, but still there were visitors enough to comfortably till the pavilion. The somewhat chilly evening and the heavy fog also had their effect and there were but few promenaders about the grounds. However, the exercises at t!ie pavilion, which consisted of tableaux and gymnastic exhibitions, were, as on Sunday night, very interesting and much applauded by the au dience. Tlie staging and grouping ot the various sets were quite artistic, and re llected much credit on Slanager Ilenry .">!;■ let. who handled all the multitudinous matters pertaining to the stasze in a very able manner. SHOWN IK THHEE SETS. The first number on the programme was entitled "Friendship, Truth and l.ove, or From the Cradle to the Grave," Miss M. Biedenbach reuresentine"Fiiendship,"Miss S. lirill "Truth" and Miss A. Koemer "hove." Fifteen young ladles filled the subordinate parts. The first set showed the birth of "Love" and the mother and child of a lleruiunn Sou greeting him on his return hmne. "Friendship," in the sec ond set, .-bowed a brother waiting ou an other who was sick and destitute, aud "Truth," in the. last set, depleted a Her mann Son being laid In the grave by tho brethren with appropriate ceremonies.' The following members of tiie Ein tracht Verein section, under tho leader ship of A. Iloffman, gave an excellent ath letic exhibition of their skill on the hori zontal bars, parallel bar 3 aud horse: li. 3out»o*, Mmv Mevet. U. Larrisnn. P. Knack, C. Krause, K. Buckhausen, Max Fisher. Louis Iliuz, of the Eiutracht turn sec tion, the champion amateur club-swinger of the Coast, then gave nn entertaining do b-s winging exhibition, which was much applauded. lIKKMANN" SONS CROUP. The closing tableau showed the repre sentations of the Hermann Sons from l!>40 to 1800 grouped on the stage and around "Germauia," Miss Emilia Zwierlin; "Thus neldii," Miss M. Peterson; "Hope," Miss L. Gerke, and "Eureka," Miss Frieda Schmiedeke, and a large number of young ladies representing subordinate characters. Among the representative Hermann Sous were 11. Phoran, from the last lodge ad mitted to the order. California, No. 18, of Livermore, and L. Kurzof Teutonia Lodge, No. 1, of Now York, organized in 1840. In the center of the group were the Grand Lodge of California officials, headed by John U. schuur, the Grand President. The group was quite effective, and the curtain had to be raised three times in re sponse to the repeated applause, the audi ence in its enthusiasm singing "Die Wacbt am Khein" with a will. President Schuur then, in a brief address, thanked the audience for its attendance, and nil the committees and managers tor their untiring efforts that made the celebration such a signal success. Tlie floor was then cleared for dancing, which was continued until an early hour in the morning; ONE DaY IK Til IS CITY. Joseph Webber Already Bewails the Lass of Ills Watch .ii, Chain. Joseph Webber, a rather thick-headed and country-reared laborer of German ex. traction, came to town yesterday from Seattle with his pockets holding a greater or less amount of money. One of the first things that Joseph did upon lauding was to ' buy himself a nice new watch and chain, ' and the next thing was to imbibe sundry and divers schooners of beer. Between the beer and the watch Joseph grew very proud. lie imagined himself a man of some consequence, and late, last night this idea grew upon him. lie threw back tbe lapels of bis coat so that all might see his glittering new chain, and then saun tered down Brannan street to the corner of Fifth. A hungry - looking hoodlum sharply turned the corner, and the glitter of Jo seph's chain caught his eye. With a quick bound and a cry of joy be wrapped his arms about the stocky form of the German, exclaiming, with many protestations, that he was delighted to see his friend again, from whom he had so long been separated. Joseph was afraid that he was going to kiss him and rudely pushed from him the demonstrative stranger, who, after looking more closely at Joseph's face, declared that he bad been mistaken, apologized and van ished round the corner. Congratulating himself at' being rid of a disagreeable man Joseph once more threw back the lapels of his coat. Hi! Btrnightened up his form, pursed out his breast so as to bring tho chin into prom inent view, and then glanced down tc ob serve the effect. Alas ! his new watch and bright new chain were gone. AKKESIKD AT THE PHESIDIO. A Dragoon Sui rendered to the Civil An thoritlei. Police Officer Stanton had a delicate job on his hands yesterday, but he is proud of his success, for he upheld the majesty of the civil law and boldly invaded tlie lines of Federal jurisdiction to do so. The difficulty of his task consisted in the red tape re quired to arrest a United Stales soldier at the Presidio. Some days ago William S. Mcllßhon, a young !-oldier, entered a resort on Howard street, between Third and Kourth^and pro ceeded to make things lively. \.>t being satisfied with his treatment by a woman named Dolly Wheeler McMahun began to use her aa he would a foot-ball, and for a time tlio young dragoon terrorized tbc place, but finally walked out. The next day tint woman had a warrant issued for McMahon, on the charges of bat tery and malicious mischief, and Stanton was detailed to serve the document. When the officer arrived at the Presidio, McMahon was found sober, leaning on a carbine. lie was ou duty, guarding a gang ol military prisoners working on the reservation. Hi- represented the United States, and he thought tiiat while doing so he wa3 as free as the blue space above him. Guarding captives as he was, he did not anticipate that he would soon be in the same condition himself. The policeman also appreciated his position and knew fully well he could not snatch up bis man and march him off. A l 'it a good deal of running around, vis iting a large number of superior officers, and necessitating the signing and counter signing of numerous documents, SUnton at last received bis man, who was sur rendered by the commandant of the post. The cavalryman now languishes in a cell In the City Prison, but appears consid erably crushed in spirit. ALMOST READY. Action of the Y. M. I. in Grand Council Affairs.
