Lyman Bridges, the civil engineer, SUBJ

intersection of Montgomery avenue and
Taylor street to Van Ness avenue. The
tunnel, the engineer stated, would be 5000
feet in length, "A feet in width, would take
six months TO construct and cost $500. All

posed tunnel, and committee, consisting

pointed to wait on the Supervisors and OBJ

Charles WillmOtt called the attention of
the club to the fact that the rainy season is
approaching, and that the POwell-street
sewer, from Chestnut street to the bay, is
largely filed up with silt He said that
when the rains set in the adjacent cellars
and streets would be flooded, and he hoped
the club, through its Secretary, would call
the attention of the Superintendent OF

Secretary was notified to request the Super

MORROW'S SILENCE.
1t Is Construed as Favorable to
His Acceptance.
BuckIey's Dividend at the San Jose Conven-
tion-The Reform Democrats Falling
Into the Buckley Line.

So far as can be learned, no definite word
has been received from Mr.. Morrow that
would indicate his exact attitude regarding
the proffered denomination in the Fourth
Congressional District.
kilograms have been poured in upon him
by the hundred, urging him to accept, but
thus far the only intimation of his inten-
tions was embodied in an interview tele-
graphed from Washington. In that he was
far from explicit, and LETT the Impression
that he had not fully decided upon the best
course to pursue. He was evidently halt
ing between two opinions, and was in
position to be brought about by little
urging.
The urging has been done, and by wire
his friends have assured him that his cam
paign expenses will be paid by them to the
uttermost farthing. One large manufacture
Ing firm has wired him Offering to stand the
entire amount, while the merchants have
come to the front with the most fiattering
proffers Of assistance. This, it is claimed,
is the reason for Mr.. MorroW's silence, and
the prevailing opinion now is that he will
consent to run.
Those who know him best say that in the
event of his having made up his mind pos
itiyely to retire he would so have wired ere
this, and that his silence is the result of a
careful consideration of the subject on his
part. They say, too. that the pressure be-
ing brought to bear upon him is so strong
that he cannot afford to withstand it, and
he will, it is believed, end by accepting the
nomination.

A BAD STEPFATHER.

'Addle Brown, pretty and intelligent girl OF

Arthur HumplIries, at 522 Fifth street. Hum

for some time. Last night lie came home about

The girl went into the room. when Humphries
drew loaded revolver, and, closing the door,
pointed the muzze of the weapon at Adde'S
head, saying that lie wanted to say some serious
thugs 10 her.
The young lady had the presence OF mind to
talk 10 the whisky-laden man In calm tone and
kept hin from pulling The trigger, although he
abused her rouDdiy.
The mother OF the girl, Mrs. Humpbries, saw
Addie 60 into the room and caught signt Of the

BUCKLEY'S DIVIDEND.

The "Boss'" Contribution to the State
Campaign Fund.
To every one of his "heelers" who at
tended the Democratic State Convention at
San Jose "Boss" buckley presented,
through his private secretary, the sum of
$50, together with ticket to San Jose and
return. In this way he was compelled to
disburse several thousand dollars, in re-
turrrfor which lie was allowed to vote them
as be chose. 1t may be, of course, that
Buckley with the addition of wealth has
grown generous, and out OF pure kindness
of heart saw fit to aid the ''IamhS" i'll this
way, but the conclusion that is finding the
most general acceptance is that some aspir-
ing candidate, ana not the boss" himself,
furnished the money that was thus distrib
uted to the faithful.
What was at first a mere suspicion is
crystallizing into a firm belief in the public
mind that not one candidate, but several,
contributed to the fund. The people are
beginning to realize, in fact, that Buckley
is not philanthrOpist, and that his De-
mocracy is not of such sincere nature that
be is willing 10 devote his private income to
the advancement. &c .tie party,

Accident to Mountain Freiebters.

NEVADA CITY. Aug. 2S.-Thomas Jones
and Charles Cleveland, freighters between
this city and North Bloomfield, had mirac-
ulous escape this morning from frightful
death. They were descending the northern
grade of the South Yuba River. Jones
drove six horses attached to two wagons
loaded with 5000 pounds of sacked barley.
Cleveland had six horses and one wagon
loaded with baled hay, driving 200 yards be-
hind Jones. A tree came thun dering down
toward the road from the mountain side
above, where a Chinaman had cut It,
Cleveland's horses SHE'D, and one front
wheel went off thegrade. Cleveland jumped
from the wagon, and the horses, spring
Ing suddenly forward, pulled the wheel
back on the road, and breaking into a run
soon collided with Jones' outfit. Jones,
the three wagons and eight of the horses
were precipitated over the bank and went
rolling down the steep declivity toward the
river 200 feet below. The wagons were
totally wrecked. Jones and the horses
rolled over and over to the river. Two OF
the horses were perhaps fatally hurt, the
others escaping uninjured. The man was
unscratched, except having one finger
mashed. Two years ago similar accident
from like cause occurred there to a ped
dler's wagon, S. M. Shurtiiff receiving in
juries that ultimately caused his death.

A Plan OF Action Said to Have Been

A Plan OF Action Said to Have Been
Already Agreed Upon.
There is a growing sentiment among the
Republicans in favor of postponing the
holding of the municipal convention until
about thirty days prior to the election.
This will be done, it is claimed, to save an
noyance to the various candidates. 1t is
also claimed that the various elements Of
the party have been completely harmon
lied. and that the primary will be as free
from strife as was that held to elect dele
gates to the State Convention. An under
standing has been reached, it is said,
whereby all factions will be given proper
recognition, and no one will seek to secure
more than the share agreed upon. This
will. in the estimation of the politicians,
enable the Republicans to place ticket
in the field composed Of the very best ma
terial to be found, and will prevent any
plan of action. if carried out, bids fair to
be winning one.

PRECINCT BOARDS,
Writ of Mandate Against tho Election
mmissiOners.

A Writ of Mandate Against tho Election
Conn issiOners.
The Republican County Committee has
decided not to prepare an agreed case with
the Election Commissioners upon which to
test the law about precinct boards, but to
bring the whole matter at once and in the
usual legal form directly before the Su-
preme Court. To that end the Chair
man of the committee applied to the
Supreme Court yesterday afternoon for
writ OF mandate compelling the Elec-
ton Commissioners to appoint precinct
boards Of registration and election In ac-
cordance with Section 1142 of the Political
Code as amended at the last session of the
Legislature. To this writ the Commission
ers have ten days in which to answer, and
then argument with a speedy decision will
likely follow. 1t is believed the whole mat
ter can be disposed of in fifteen days at the
outside. and that will give the board plenty
of time to make the extra appointments in
case the court so directs.

Eindley May Be Induced to Withdraw

The contest which has been waged at
Fresno for the Republican nomination for
Congress in the Sixth District has been
watched with intense interest in this city,
and there was sigh OF relief when the ad-
journment was taken last night. The
candidacy of Lindley is not regarded
with favor here, as it is believed
that the nomination, in the interest
OF good politics. should not go to Los Ange-
les. Bowers has the sympathy of local
Republicans, while DR.. Rowell, who is
known to be man Of excellent qualifica-
tions, is the second choice. While Lindley
has many warm personal friends, they do
not approve Of his present course, and the
probabilities are that before the reassem-
bling of the convention he will withdraw
from the fight
An effort will be made to secure his con-
sent to the nomination of either Bowers or
Rowell, and it is believed that he will be
made to see the wisdom Of such course.

There is suspicion abroad, whether i'll or

N. Deuprey is Chairman, has accepted
"Boss" Buckley's terms, and gone over to

by Buckley some time ago, TO allow them to
name four of the Democratic nominees for
Superior Judges, has not been accepted.
There is a prevalent belief that it mas, and
that henceforth MIR. Deuprey and his Spartan
band of '.reformers" will cease to oppose the
corrupt methods of the ''boss." In fact
their precipitate' haste in indorsing the
nomination Of Mayor Pond, which was due
to Buckley alone, is taken in evidence of
the fact that they have arrived at an under
