BASEBALL TRANSFER.
Report That The Stockton Club Will Locate
in San Jose

Report That The Stockton Club viii Locate
in San jose.
SAN JOSE, June 1.-The Herald states
this afternoon that the Stockton Base ball
Club is to be transferred to San Jose.
Coughlin and Sharpe of Stockton were in
San Jose last week and made proposition
to transfer the club to this city if suitable
grounds were secured. J. II. Henry of the
Electric Railroad accepted the proposition
and is now attempting TO secure grounds on
the Alameda, which will be fitted up in
superb manner. The lovers of baseball in
this city are greatly elated over the pros
pect. Business men generally will assist
In meeting all the requirements for the
transfer. It is stated that $500, in addi-
ton TO the grounds, is required for the
transfer OF the franchise Of the StocktOns,
but this is not verified. 1t is probable, If
this is SO, that the money will be ready
when the transfer is made. 1t is the inten-
tion to strengthen the club by the addition
Of other frst-class players as soon as San
Jose secures the franchise. There will be
no failure on the part Of Mr.. Henry to Sc
cure the grounds and fit them up in the best
manner, as he is one of the most enterpTis-
ing citizens Of the Garden City.
STOCKTON. June 23.-A proposition to
buy the Stockton Baseball Club came from
San Jose people recently and Director
Sharp went to see them. He made prop
osition on a cash basis, which they have
till the 1st Of July TO accept. The amount
Is said TO be about 5000. Lack Of support
Of tie club has somewhat discouraged the
managers of the Stocktons. There is a
vigorous objection to the sale, and if the
local magnates will decide to keep up the

CH0KED In HER BED.

Mrs. Margaret Whites Charges Against
Contractor.
Garret Burke was arrested on complaints
sworn out by Margaret White and locked
up in the Seventeenth-street Police Station
last night on charges of battery and dis
turbing the peace. The accused was re-
leased on 500 cash boil.
Mrs. White tells rather peculiar story
that Burke entered her house about mid
night Oh the 1lth of this month and, COM
ing to the bed, where she was sleeping with
her little son. seized her by the throat and
choked her. She screamed for help, wax
ing up her little son, who joined in her
cries. Burke, she says, then choked her
harder. dragged her from her bed to the
floor and threw at her a sewing-machine
and lamp. which latter set fire TO the
roOm
Becoming frightened at what he had
done Burke threw pail of water over the
fire, partially cxtinguishing it, then ran
out and blew whistle, which summoned
several policemen, who put out the fire.
Burke meanwhile escaping to his own
house. Mrs. White further says that Burke
and she had had quarrel over sewer,
which ne claimed she had ordered him to
build and which she refused to pay for.

GOVERNOR OR WARDEN.
The Struggle for Supremacy a
San Quentin.
Secretary Boruck Verihes an Interview by
Denying It - j. F. English Says He
Has Been Willfully Traduced.

John F. English and Charles Sonntag, the
former of whom is one of the contractors
and the latter one of the Directors of the
State Prison at San Quentin, are indignant
over publication in a morning paper in
regard to the nature Of the potatoes fur
nished by English for the inmates of the
prison. 1t was charged that Mr.. Sonntag
had used his official position to compel the
acceptance Of decayed tubers.
Mr.. English was seen yesterday in refer
ence to it, and said: " l can only denOunce
it as a willful and malicious falsehood.
The potatoes furnished by me under my
contract were all of the best quality, and
that l can easily prove. l took the contract
year ago to furnish potatoes to the prison
at 67R cents per hundred pounds, for the
fulfllment of which / was required to give
a bond in the sum of S567 So Had | so de-
sired l could have forfeited my bond and
thus have absolved myself from my con-
tract, but as matter of business pride
preferred to stand to my bargain in spite
of the fact that l was losing from $500 to
5000 a month. For the last eight months
have been furnishing potatoes that ccst me
from So to 81 so a hundred, and | make * a
point to furnish only the best to be had in
the market. Once | had 100 sacks refused,
and when they were returned l sent for
Mr.. Sonntag, who went with me TO inspect
them. He found them in good condition,
and my bill was allowed. Frequently, OF
course, small amounts were charged back
to me for decayed potatoes. In nearly all
lots of 100 or more sacks there would be 200
or 500 pounds of bad potatoes, and these are
always weighed and debited against me.
Mr.. SOnntag was too strict if anything,
and you can say that so far as am con-
cerned l think all the charges against him
false"
Mr.. SoDntag preferred not to be quoted,
as he had already branded the charges as
Infamous. They were SO utterly false, he
said, that he did not care to reply to them.

LOCAL POLITICS.
Various Matters of Interest to
Party Workers.
The Cry Is Still for Open Primaries-M Mayor
Rucker and the San Jose Conven-
tion-Club Meetings.

The members of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee profess to be copgratulating
themselves on the fact that they have al
ready gained partial victory. They claim
that their only object in inaugurating the
present N ovemenr was to secure open pri-
maries, with the ballot-box in sight," and
that the Kelly Crimmins wing of the party
through the County Committee have al
ready announced their intention OF conced-
ing the point in question. They will not,
they say, take any ones promise. but will
hold their organization intact until the del
egates to the various conventions shall have
been chosen. In this way, they urge, they
will prevent double dealing and compel the
opposition to give them fair showing.
Said one of them yesterday: " Ii they
give US open primaries, with everything
open and above. board, and then beat us,
we will fall into line and help to elect the
ticket, but if, on tie contrary, they adopt
any of their old methods with us, we will do
all we can to lay them out. They may as
well bear this in mind, for we are thor
oughly in earnest"
This kind of talk doesn't amount to
much, said a member of the County Com
mittee. Those fellows" Indicating the
corner Of Stockton and Ellis streets with
contemptuouS nod OF his head "had bet
ter walt until primaries have been denied
them before they make such howl about
it. First they kicked for certain plan OF
organization, and we took the wind out of
their sails by adopting it. They had moth
ing more in that direction to cry about, and
now they are screeching for primaries. So
far as l know it has been the intention
from the first to hold open primaries, and
knowing this L can see no reason for their
constant yapOrings about il. :"

A Car-Driver's Suit Against Street Railroad
Company.
STOCKTON, June 23.-A street car-driver
named Mckee to-day brought suit against

brought under a section of the code which
provides that twelve hours shall constitute
days work for drivers, conductors and
gripmen on street-cars; that drivers shall
be paid thirty cents an hour for all extra
time that they work, and that any person
or corporation employing driver to
labor more than twelve hours per day
in violation of the act shall forfeit
the sum of $50 for each day the
man works, the forfeit to 90 TO
the person prosecuting the action. Mckee

claimed that the Common Council had the
right to let whatever contracts 1t pleased,
provided proper steps were taken. The
court denies this and decides that it has a

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

Los ANGELES, June 23.-At 1850 o'clock
this afternoon, Southern Pacific freight
train No. q, from San Francisco East
bound, in two sections, was coming down the
mountain near the south side of this county,
when the engineer of the forward section
saw a hand-car on the track, on which we're
Section Foreman Jack Sullivan and seven
men on their way to Soledad Canyon to
work on bridge. The engineer
slowed up, and the men then took
the hand-car of the track and al
lowed the train to pass. They failed,
however, to notice the flag at the end of the
train warning them that another sec
ton was close behind. The men re-
placed the hand-car on the track and
proceeded on their way for i've minutes
when, on high trestle, the locomotive OF
the second section appeared, coming around
q curve only a few rods ahead.
The hand-car men became anic-stricken
and the entire party OF eight leaped from
the trestle to the ground below, a distance
of fifty feet. Four were badly injured. Jack
Sullivan, the foreman, had his breast bruised
and right arm broken, but will probably
recover. John Murray had his back broken,
and is dying. William Smith had his skull
fractured and received other injuries,
and cannot recover. Furlong had his
shoulder mangled and received internal in
1uries which will result fatally. The other
four escaped with severe bruises.
The trestle from which the men Jumped
spread out on each side for a considerable
distance and four Of the men above
named did not jump far enough
from it. their injuries being caused
by striking the woodwork in their fall,
reboundlng and again striking the timberS.
The four who escaped fatal injuries jumped
far oct and landed safely in the soft sand
at the foot Of the treStle.
The injured men were all brought to this
city on q freight tram and taken to the
Sisters Hospital. Murray, Smith and
Furlong are not eXLected TO live
until the morning. The saddest
part Of the affair is that the accident might
have easily been averted, had not
the men on the hand-car been COM
pletely beside themselves with fright.
Conductor Sturgeon of the freight train
says his train was only going at the rate of
six or seven miles an hour, and he sue
ceeded in stopping it before the
engine reached the hand = car. There
was no occasion for the leap from
the tresIle, even had the train been coming
at rapid rate, as they could easily have
