ONE DAY In THE CITY.
Joseph Weber Already Bewails the
Loss of His Watch and Chain.

Joseph Weber Already Bewails the
Loss of His Watch and Chain.
Joseph Weber. a rather thick-headed
and country-reared laborer of German ex.
traction, came to town yesterday from
or less amount of money. One of the first
things that Joseph did upon landing was to
buy himself 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. He imagined himself
man Of some consequence, and late last
night this idea grew upon him. He threw
back the lapelS of his 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 quick
bound and cry of joy he 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 had been mistaken, apologZed and van
ished round the corner. Congratulatng
himself at being rid of disagreeable man
Joseph once more threw back the lapels of
his coat
He Strengthened up his form, pursed out
his breast so as to bring the chin into PROM
ihent view, and then glanced down tc OBJ
serve the effect. Alas his new watch and
bright new chain were gone.

SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.
In What section Are the Republicans
strongest?

In What Section Are the Republicans
strongest?
The Daily Sentinel, published at Red
Bluff, Is in favor of General Chapman 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. 1t
points TO the fact that Alameda, Sacra-
mento and Humboldt cast a larger majority
for Harrison than the combined south coun-
ties, and that while the total Republican
vote in the state Tor Harrison was 124, 1S2,
the south gave of these 26,664 only. II Is
also shown that the counties OF Alameda,
Sacramento, Sonoma, san joaquin and
Humboldt cast 80 Republican votes more
than the combined south; and again, that
while the entire Republican majority OF all
counties was II ,026. the south gave OF that
only 4264 The inference is drawn that the
seat of Republican empire In California Is
not, as has been claimed, south OF Te-
hachaD buL In the north.

GRIST FROM THE MILL
Caught From the GreWsOme Grind
of Politics.
Democratic Contest for Governor-Dougherty
as an Exquisite - Waterman's
Buff Club Meetings.

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 diff
licult to arrive at anything like reliable
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, II being their
belief that The delegation, or the greater
portion Of il, at least, from this city Will be
divided between their candidate and In
glish. Pond they say will secure probably
few scattering votes at the send-Ott. This
they predicate on the belief that Buckley is
secretly fayuTing Coieman's candidacy and
is ourOsed 10 Pond. The knowing ones,
however, ale laughing in their sleeves over
the matter and call attention TO the fact
that if buckley really favored Coleman's
candidacy lie would certainly not give him
the delegation or any large part Of it on the
FIRST ballet. They regard this, On the con-
trary, as Il certain indication that he de-
sires the nomination TO go to Pond.
If reports from the interior are to be
credited it would look 10 a man up tree as
il Pond would 60 to San Jose with an ele
ment at his back that would be hard to de-
feat He has remained at home while
English and Coleman have taken off their
coats and sailed out to do or die, but just
the same, he is rallying to his standard
supporters from all sections Of the State.
Ills followers assert that he Will come
over Tehachapi and up through the San
Joaquin Valley with an army Of strength
that viii scatter CONSERVATION among his
opponents. The latter section is supposed
to be friendly to Paulsell. but when neces-
Sary his votes will grayltate to Pond. bis
candidacy, in fact, is regarded as Pond
movement, ana SO in the same sense Is that
OF ex-senator John Boggs OF Colusa, whose
influence will all be thrown TO the Mayor.
No one believes that any candidate can
secure anything like nominating vote on
the first ballot, and knowing this, Buckley,
as has been suggested, can hold his forces
until he has had a chance to see how the
country districts stand and then wheel into
line for Pond, claiming Of course the credit
Of having nominated HIM.
There is rumor, however, to the effect
that a combination has been formed be-
tween English and Coleman whereby the
latter IS TO have the second place on the
ticket, provided that the two by uniting
forces can control the convention. This is
hardy to be credited, and is, moreover,
highly improbable, as from the fact that
Iarpey, who is one of Coleman's managers,
is at war with English; it is safe to assume
that he would not consent to any such Goa
lltiOu.

ARRESTED AT THE PRESIDE.
A Dragon Surrendered to the Civil Au-


A Dragon Surrendered to the Civil Au-
thorities.
Police Officer Stanton had 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 the lines of
Federal jurisdiction to do so. The difficulty
of his task consisted in the red tape re-
uulred to arrest United States soldier at
the Preside.
Some days ago William S. Mcmahon, a
Young soldier, entered resort ON Howard
street, between Third and Fourth, and pro-
ceeded to make things lively. Not being
satisfied with his treatment by n woman
named Dolly Wheeler Mcmahon began to
use her as he would a football, and for
time the young dragon terroriZed the place,
but finally walked out.
The next day the woman had warrant
issued for Mcmahon, on the charges of bat
terry and malicious mischief, and Stanton
was detailed to serve the document When
the officer arrived at the Preside, Mcmahon
was found sober, leaning on carbine. lie
was ON duty, guarding gang of military
prisoners working on the reservation.
He represented the United States, and he
thought that while doing SO he was 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 we'll he could
not snatch up his man and march him of.

The Native Sons VIII Furnish an Excur-
sion on the Bay.
The Excursion Committee of the Native
Sons met at Room 8, Grand Hotel, last
night. The following members were pres
ent: u. w. Lees (Chairman), William Gil
christ and Messrs. Alexander, Lacombe,
Martin, Willis Eberhardt and Hooper.
1t 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 lowed at least part of the
distance. but their presence will add mate
rally to the appearance of the excursion.
Free lunch will be spread on the boats,
but there will be no liquor.
Some talk of couple OF overland eXcur-
siOns to Monterey and Ukiah was INDUCED
in, but nothing decisive was done, as the
various railroads are contemplating similar
excursions
1t was decided to have the excursion on
the 10th Of September, instead of on the
8th, and that change will be recommended
at the next meeting of the joint committee.

vision on 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. NJ. Ebbets then presented resolu.
ton to the effect that the Pioneers vote
$1,000 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 $1,000 or
$1,000 for the celebration, and he wanted
the Pioneers to head the subscription-list
with $1,000.
Mr.. Ebbets then renewed his motion for
an appropriation of $1,000, and on general
call it was raised to $1,000 and adopted.
The motion of Major A. Sherman that the
Veterans of the Mexican War be invited to
act as an escort to the Pioneers in the
parade on Admission day was referred to
special committee. and the meeting ad-
j0urned.

SINKING 20 REST.

The Executive Committee Is in Its Last
ThroeS.
The struggles of the Republican Exeeu-
tive Committee grow weaker as the days
succeed each other. and at last nights meet
ing the usual high-Sounding resolutions
failed TO materalize. 1t was a quiet crowd
that warmed the chairs in front of Presi-
dent Dunn's table. The only thing of i'm
portance done was. to pass the following
resolution, and the ayes that carried it we're
given in a perfunctory sort OF way that
showed lack of interest or enthusiasm:
Reso}red, That committee consisting of five
members be appointed by The Chair TO confer
with The precinct organizations IN the several
Assembly Districts for the purpose OF preparing
aud submitting 10 this body plan TO be pursued
in the selection of delegates 10 The municipal
legislative ana judicial conventions.
The Chair named A. a. Louderback,
Charles Metzler, Edgar Briggs, James
Cunningham and Thomas Mathews, and
the meeting adjourned. Nothing was said
about the representation which had been
denied.

Rosewald Lombard's Condition Still

Rosewald Lombard's Condition Still
Considered Dangerous.
John Madden appeared at the Central
Station last night and stated that he was the
driver of the buggy which knocked down
and almost killed Rosewald Lombard on
Eleventh and Howard streets, on Sunday
afternoon.
Madden, who is 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 driving
and the second that of assault to murder.
The condition Of Lombard is still con-
sidered dangerous. Besides the severe
fractures of his skull, his spine is also in
jured. Secretary Hunter of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is in
teresting himself in the case, and should
Lombard die will have him decently buried

knocked down until yesterday morning. but

has been absent from his desk in the little
partitioned-off Office on Market street

rods in big fence that is TO corral the dele

through the interstices.

but some of them say that their longest
telescope has as yet failed to locate the de-
sired man. Others, again, smile ard snrug
their shoulders. Meanwhile the Secretary
grins bIandIy and SAYS nothing.
