THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.

SUCCESS OF THE REPUBLICAN TICKET IN THE
srATE-KALLocH ELECTED MAYOR OF SAN
FRANCISCO.
SAN FRAScIsco. Sept. 81 80 p. NJ.
Three-fourths Of the vote in tho city and
State has been counted. Perkins is leading
Glenn by about 1880 and White by
about the same. The> completion of the
count will increase Perkins plurality to 22.oOo or
900 probably. In the city he will gain Glenn.
and in the country White. during the remain
der of the count. All the State ticket will go
with the head except the Justices, whose posi-
tions cannot yet be determined. 1t Us now probable
that the republicans will elect all their Congress
men, although the contest IL very close in the city
districts. The republicans have elected their rail
road commissioner In the Northern district and tho
workingmen theirs in the city and southern dis
trict. The Legislature il still in doubt.
kALLoCH EIECTED.
Kalloch continues to increase his lead, and is
elected beyond doubt. The workingmcn's cand-
dates have the best chances for sheriff auditor, col
lccor and county attorney and their candidate for
district attorney Is sure of election. The repub
cans will probably get the balance. except perhaps
two or three supervisors and school directors. The
superior judges ticket is divided.

Mayor Cooper yesterday received all the docu-
mcnts from the Park Department in relation to the
contract for the improvement Of Riverside avenue
and the charges growing out of the same which
have been iully recorded in the HERALD. His Honor
said that it would take some time to examine thcm
and after he had done this he would make up his
mind what course he should pursue. The Mayor
subsequently announced that he would give the
Park Commissioners the investigation they de-
manded and that he would communicate with them
on the subject IA soon as possible. 1t was deemed
probable that he would send them communication
to day The Mayor is in favor of having the exam
ination conducted with open doors.

dence of his father, No. 2l2 Alabama

rial fever, after an illness of about
one week. His attending physician

these excellent physicians, and in
spite Of their best efforts his young
life was extinguished. MI. Malloy

friends and acquaintance IN this city
where he was reared. A fsy years
since he married Miss Ella, daughter
of the late G. W. Jones, and upon the
death of his father-in-law he succeed

Picnic Row.

AT the French picnic late last night
a shooting jubilee was interspersed
with the other festivities. While Of
ticer Dougherty was trying to quell a n
incipient disturbance, Deputy Sheriff
Peter Bradley entered the bar -ro
where the threatened row was brew
ing, and, it is charged that he fred
the murderous shot at Charles Mar
shall, not, however, until the latter
had twice struck Bradley with his fist
and blackened his eyes. The pistol
was turned loose while Bradley
stood on a bench, and the ball
passed through Marshall's cloth
ing, grazing the flesh at his
stomach, but doing no serious
harm. Passing onward, however, the
pistol ball plowed a hole into the foot
of an innocent boy of eleyen,years old
named Buck, whose parents reside on
Beal street. The boy is painfully but
not dangerously hurt, though he may
be crippled for life. Bradley denies
having done the shooting, but parties
near him at the time declare that thew
saw him blaze away, and they cannot
be mistaken.

Ssengerfest OF the Sengerbund,
The twenty. first Sengerfest Of the
North American Sengerbund, or sing.
ing feast Of the German singing
brotherhood, clsscd at Cincinnati on
Saturday last. Since 1919 annual
singing feasts have heen held in va.
rious Western cities, including that Of
last year at Louisville, and those pre-
ceding at Cleveland, St. Louis, Chi.
cago, indianapolis, Columbus, Ohio.
Buffalo, n. Y, Pittsburg, Detroit.
Canton and Dayton, Ohio. The first
festival of the bund was at Cincinnati
five societies and 11S singers being
present. Since then the annual at
tendance has been from seven to sixty
one societies Of from l25 to 1900 sing
ers. The earlier meetings of the sing
ing societies in this country were d.
minutive in comparison to those held
in Europe, or those of the Sa~ngerbund
in late years. In a libretto of the re.
cent feast held at Cincinnati in
teresting biographical sketches of
the leading singers participating
appear also programmes Of each
days performances. A historical
account is also given Of the musical
festival, at which societies from seve-
raj cities meet for the purpose of eff
fecting by united efforts greater re-
suits than could be obtained by the
musical talent Of any one place. They
had their origin in Germany, and the
first festival was'held at Wuerzburg,
Bavaria, in 1915. The pamphlet says /;
The number of singers present from
all parts of Germany and Austria was
l773. The second festival was held at
Passau in 1851, where se~venty-four
societies with altogether HOO singers
present. The third festival at
Nuremburg in 1861 was visited by
singing societies from all parts of
Germany, Austria and Switzerland,
and even from England, France, Rus
STA, Turkey, America and Australia
musical organizations we're present,
embracing together over 400 societies
with $500 singers. The fourth festi-
val in Dresden, in 1865, however, ex-
celled all the previous efforts. 1t was
really a monster festival in its proper
tons. Delegations from over 1000
singing societies, from all parts of the
globe, were present, and the immense
concerts were participated in by from
5000 to 10000 singers

The case Of Miss Lizzie Voss against
Mr.. James O'Brien, on a charge of
seduction, is on trial to. day before
Special Judge w. S. Flippin, In the
Circuit Court, A jury was impanel-
ed as follows Messrs. j. w. billiard.
N. Foutaine, H. B. Howell, j. P.
Carey, John Toomey, C. Kunkle, w.
E. Boyd, S. j. Camp, L. B. Suggs, W.
W. Ware, 7. P. Duncan and j. D.
Dowell.
1t was neal the hour of noon
when the trial was opened by placing
Miss Voss on the stand as a witness.
The courtroom was crowded with
spectators, and much interest was
manifested. Miss Voss stated in her
testimony that she had never been
guilty of immortality with any other
than O'Brien. She had no other
beau or sweetheart, though she adj
mitted having gone out with another
man. The defendant was represented
by Gen, Luke Wright and Mr.. W. c..
Folkes, and Miss Voss was represented
by r. d. Frayser. The defense were
trying to establish that the girl voss
was loose with others than O'Rrien.
Miss Yoss isa very pleasant, not to
say prepossessing young lady, speaks
English rather fuently, and is of
modest demeanor. She was dressed
in deep mourning, in respect to the
memory of her father who committed
suicide on account of his daughter 5
troubles, and her face was covered
with a black veil. Witnesses were in
attendance, by whom it is said proof
will be offered that the girl frequeuted
public resorts and beer gardens at
night time with other men besides

No shame AbOut Her.

A comely-looking and neatly
dressed young woman named Smith,
not owe 20 years of age, whose
mother resides in Nashville, was
placed in the dark cell at the station
house to-day with a view Of tanning
her down and trying to enforce a
reformation or a consent to return to
her widowed parent. She was arrest
ed at the den of Nate Edwards on
DeSoto street, and as the officer
placed her in the dungeon she de-
clared most emphatically that nothing
would deter her from continuing a
life Of prostitution. They may keop
her in the dungeon a month and then
she viii 80 back to her shameful
traffic in spite Of all the mothers and
police in the universe. Not much
chance to reform that girl.

The breeze this forenoon came from

The range yesterday was from 72' to

erly winds throughout the day.
The short session of the public
schools, running as they did from
January to June, a series of FIVE
months, has rendered it necessary for
parents to send their children to pri-
vate schools during the summer, and
a number of public school teachers
have established themselves as tutors
in the school buildings of the city.
A rumor is current that a certain
gentleman, well-known in financial
circles, who departed Eastward a few
days since, will not return alone also
that the expectant partner Of his joys
is a widow of this city. There is a
romance connected with the affair
which is really interesting, and it
would render several pages of a first
class novel highly Entertaining if prop
erly woven within it.
After a law-breaker disgraces his
family and himself by some grave mis-
demeanor, then he desires to shield
the good name of those he ought to
have thought of before, and he sends
to the newspaper Offices to keep his
name from being ventilated. 1t is a
wicked world in many respects, or at
least many people in it are wild and
dishonest. The news reporters gener-
ally know an evil-doer by the cut of
his jib, OF the glance of his eye. Some
times, too, by association.
One of the marked features of this
fast period is the unfeigned reluctance
manifested by the fourteen-year-old
girl to attend school during the sum
mer months. The e~nbryotic young
lady fancies she knows a thing or two
now, and that even though she lost
the whole of last fall in idleness, an
other long season of nothing to do
should now be Afforded her. Give
children their own way aud more than
half would come to nothing. while the
the rest wouldn't be much at the best.
Girls should thirst for knowledge and
acquire a good education when the
chance is offered.

CITY AFFAIRS.
Council Meeting Yesterday Aftsrnosv

The legislative council, or cit,
managers, held a business meetins
yesterday afternoon. Among othel
items considered were the following
A paper was fled to be considered
regarding the sending of Engineer
Niles Meriwether to Cleveland, Ohio
to an engineers convention, which
viii meet there to-day and at which
something may be learned regarding
stone or other pavements, a species oil
knowledge our authorities have so far
been very deficient in, if our paved
streets are to be considered as any
evidence of their proficiency.
A contract for hundred carloads of
Alabama limestone, for paving, is
recommended by the engineer to be
given to w. II. Order, a hundred
carloads Of sample limestone to John
A. Denie, and seven hundred car
loads of sand stone to A. NJ. Adams.
This stone will be needed to do paving
work expected to be laid during the
summer and fall, The engineer
recommendation tproperty ownersa along
the Madison street front of the Ma
sonic Temple be offered a chance to
experiment with Arkansas Fouche
granite as a pavement, provided they
make up about a dollar a square yard,
in addition to a dollar and a half TO
be paid by the city. The work will
cost about $3.50 per yard there is
about five thousand square yards to be
laid, and it is believed it will supply a
good street for forty years. This kind
of pavement is now in course of trial
at st. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore and
New Orleans.
The engineer calculates that the
cost of altering the grade of Calhoun
street will be $4,000. 1t will hardly be
done for the present. He also report
ed regarding Mr.. Montgomery's pro-
posal to supply stone.
The proposal Of Mrs. Smith relating
to the city caring for Winchester Gem
etery, the same to be decided thereto,
was declined.
An ordinance to prevent private
scales being erected about the landing
was referred for future investigation.
An ordinance to regulate cotton
buyers aud prevent thieving was
passed on a first reading.
An ordinance relating to hacks
passed its first reading. It's first sec
ton Ordains that every hack owner or
driver shall have a proper number on.
his vehicle also shall have a certain
stand assigned by the chief of police,
which he must keep clean, by sweep
ing to the center of the street, each
day and he shall not feed horses in
the streets. A fine of from one
to fifty dollars is to be charged for
violations Of this measure.
S. A. StOvall's petition to close a
portion of Madison street and open a
new highway was referred for future
consideration.
Bids for paving Madison street we're
read from Larkin, Il. G. Robinson,
VIM. D%Onnelly, Fogerty & Co., j.
w. Alley, W. j. Hare, jr., and J. c..
Nolan.
The council will meet again to-
morrow.

THE GLENCOE RIOTERS.
Examination Before a Peace Justice.

Three of the rioting DULLES mixed
up in the Sunday row at the corner
stone laying, near Glencoe, eighteen
miles up the Paducah railroad, have
been placed under arrest. They live
between Leroy and Glencoe, in the
noted Big creek country, and their
names are w. S. Curtis, H. H. Elem
ing and r. L. Oglesby. The man
Fleming was recognized among the
spectators during the examination of
Curtis yesterday, before Esquire
Spellman, and it is claimed
that he is the person who
stabbed jesse Kirby in the shoulder
with a knife. Jim Neil, against whom
the charge Of cutting was first made,
is still at large. The trio we're each
placed under five hundred dollars
bond on yesterday, and are to have
thelr dolngs further ventilated on
Friday morning next. John T. Moss
has been employed as prosecuting
counsel and Colonel A. II. Douglass
appears for the defense. An effort
was made by the parties to have the
case carried before a magistrate in the
vicinity Of where the parties reside,
but the trick was too plain and would
not work. From the particulars SO
far revealed it appears that the muir
derous gang attacked the colored
people without the shadow of an ex-
cuse, as no provocation was offered by
the latter.
