SHIELDS LITTLE JOKE.

Stopping the Cable = Cars on Market
Street for the Fun OF It..
When j. II. Shields has not had a drink
all day he is one OF the gloOmiest of ex-
pressmen. Mark Twain could not draw
laugh from him, and even the payment of
dollar fee when he only expected 80 cents
could not produce the suggestion of smiFe
around the corners of his mouth. On the
contrary. when j. ii. Shields has had
drink he is filed with a keen sense of
humor. which fairly beams from his whole
countenance.
He was in one Of those genial moods last
evening, as he was going home from his
days work, and it led to his playing on the
Market-street Cable Company a practical
joke which he conceived to be eXcruciaI-
ingly funny. He drove his express wagon
across the cable-car track and stopped. AS
the car came up he discovered something
wrong about the harness of his horse, and
alighted to fix it. The cars drew up, one
behind the other, and the grpmen swore
big, round oaths, but not peg would j. Ii.
Shields move for laughing over the good
joke.
Officer C. f. Castro came along about that
time, and appreciated the joke so highly
that he escorted j. II. Shields up to the
new City Hall Police Station, and gave j.
II. Shields a chance to laugh over it all by
himself ia one OF the cells, after having
caused the words Constructing the street"
to be written opposite j. Ii. Shields name
in the big book that lies on the prison.

AMONG THE HUSTLERS
Politicians Busy Preparing for
the Conventions.
Markham's Supporters Making Great Deal Of
No!se-Men5ocino for Waterman.
Quiet Primaries Expected.

1t is expected that Colonel Markham.
who returned to Los Angeles on Sunday,
will arrive here again o-morrow night and
will proceed at once to take active charge
of his own campaign. In the meantime
his supporters are shouting for him with
lusty lungs and are making the most eX-
traordinary claims as to the strength of
their candidate
The most radical of his followers are not
asking but are demanding his nomination
and are going in on the "Markham-or-
burst principle of action. Among this
class of men is Judge Carpenter Of Los
Angeles, who says that if Markham is not
given the nomination the south will refuse
to accept anything at the hands of the Re-
publican party. They will. he asserts, go
10 Sacramento and ask the convention to
give them the head of the ticket. and if
this is denied them they will refuse to allow
another nomination to 20 south Of the
ichachapi mountains.
They are Sanguine of success without
having to resort to coercion, and one of
them openly stated yesterday that the fight
was virtually over and that their only
sulicitude now was concerning tie Sena-
t0rial contest. The gentleman in ques-
ton gave it as lis opinion that Mark
hams strength would be so great that
Morrow would in all probability see fit,
when the time arrived, to refuse to allow
his name TO 20 before the convention.
When these statements are repeated to
them the Morrow men smile knowingly
and Intimate that time will show a different
result.
The Markham men seem to have the
most exaggerated ideas of the formers real

day: they were claiming Santa Cruz a

mans son.
Mr. E. b. CantreI of the National Iron Works
makes the statement that the Novelty Works and
George III. Mixer never belonged to the Foundry
mems Association and, therefore, the fact of Its
having opened yesterday with union molders
under union regulations is no victory whatever
for the mOders and no indication whatever OF
the weakening Of the FOundrymeu's Association i.
To offset Mr. Cantrelps statement, President
Valentine Of the Molders' Union produces the
list OF the association, among which appears the
Novelty Works. The fact that this foundry
closed up when the strike occurred, has not run
a day since and Is now the first to start uD with
a full force Of union men is regarded by the
molders as complete victory.

Those who were of the opinion that Gov

in the State Convention will be surprised
to learn that he is the choice Of the delega-
ton from Mendocino County. AT least such
was the information given out last night at
the Palace Hotel by prominent politician
of that county, and the reasons he gave for
it was that the people of that section felt
indebted to the Governor for the locating of
the Insane Asylum at Ukiah. The state
ment was listened to by a group of poll

that little, if any, disturbance will be ere
ated in any Of the districts, although there
are vague TumOrs Of trouble brewing in
the Thirty-eighth. A committee called on
Chairman Meyers of the County Commit
tee last night and complained that Commit
leemun McD0ugal had changed the polling
places, and had. in one instance, made
arrangements to place the balloI-box in
stable, which was only accessible By pass
ing through an alley way. This they
claimed was virtually a barricade.
Secretary Lee was instructed to commu-
nicate with Mr., AIcDougal and to inform
him that any change in the pOlling-places
would render the election void.
1t is also intimated that there will be
something in the nature of contest in the
Ihifty-1irst District, which may give rise
to more or less trouble, but this is denied
by the committeeman representing it. On
the whole, however, there is little reason to
apprehend trouble of serious nature, as
there is little or no opposition to the regu-
lar tickets. AS precautiOn extra squads
