Tie question of jute bags then came up.
and General McComb wanted the price
reduced from rs cents, the present price, to
6A cents, to meet the market. The measure
was opposed by Director Sonntag, on the
ground that the bags being sold on the
market at 81 cents were all old or damaged !;
but he offered resolution, which was
adopted, that 100000 sacks be sold at not
less than 81 cents.
IT Is ALL FIXED.
Then the quarry matter was taken IN,
and w. w. Foote attorney for Daniel
Sheerin, took the floor and urged the claims

Mr.. Dare spoke for Warren 81 Co., and
the board took a recess for thirty minutes.
There was much connubiating among
both the Directors and contractors during
this recess, and 1t was all fixed" when Mr.
-Keddy called the body to order again.
Messrs. Sonntag and De Pue, after hear
ing the statements Of the contractors,
favored a modification Of the -'license" in
some points. but for some reason best
known to themselves did not press the mat
ter.
1t was then moved that the question be
postponed and that special meeting be
called to take action on it, but this was de-
feated.
Mr.. Sonntag thought it would be proper
TO receive bids and for the board to DELFT

VERY TRANSPARENT.
The clause in the specifications OF the
license" requiring a certihed check of
$1,000 with each bid was eliminated, ana
MIR. Dare tried to speak.
He was called down by Mr.. Reddy, how
ever, who told him to bid and not talk, as
the time for the latter was passed.
Mr.. Dare objected TO the powers invested
by the Specifications in the board to revoke
the license" on such slight provocation.
and said that to yield the State revenue of
SS3 SO a month the license would have to
take 1865 tons of stone every thirty days.
Warren & Co. said that they would not
like to take a 100000 contract when the
license was liable to be revoked at any time.
| All the contractors except SheeTin then
refused to bid and special meeting to act
on the matter was called for next Monday
night.
Bills were allowed as follows: Jute
Fund, SIG 90; Fund Support, SlS,772 SO;

A MILD MINORITY.
Mr.. de Pue said that he would continue TO
oppose the license" and would vote against
it next Monday night, and Mr.. Sonntag
remarked that he would also vote against it.
During the meeting the question OF legal
ty of the license" came up and Mr.. Foote
said that he had the opinion of the At
torney- General in the matter, and that he
had said that it was legal at the time that
the quarries were about to be let to j. S.
Tibbles, but Mr.. Tibbles' death prevented
the consummation of the lease.
The meeting then adjourned until next
Monday night.
LINING THE SACK.
A number of contractors have expressed
desire to submit sealed bids for the quarry
privilege, but the course pursued by the
Board of Directors is so transparent that
they decline TO be made parties to a transac-

bosses and their hired attorneys. who APP

When Grand Secretary Henry Lunstedt
called the meeting to order the hail was

The Boycott Case on Hearing Before
Judge Armstrong.
The injunction suit of James McClatchy
& Co. vs. Mckay and others, better known
as the boycott case" was resumed before
Superior Judge Armstrong yesterday morn
ing.
Judge benson and Add C. Hinkson, at
torneys for the plaintiff, occupied the en-
tire day in making their arguments for the
granting Of an injunction restraining the
Federated Trades and members of the
Typographical Union from using their
efforts in detracting patronage from the
Bee. Voluminous authorities were cited
with the view of upholding this petition.
Judge James g. Mcguire, who with At
torney Grove L. johnson represents the
trades unions, will make the closing argu-
ment for his clients on Monday, after
which the case will be submitted to the
Court for decision.
During yesterdays session Judge benson
stated in Court that he had been informed
by his clients that committee had waited
on q prominent business house, and after
representing that the temporary Injunction
granted by Judge Van Fleet had been dis
solved by Judge Armstrong on Friday,
asked that that house withdraw its adver-
Using from the Bee.
Judge Armstrong said his decision on
Friday did not go this far. The temporary
Injunction was still in force until the case
was finally disposed of.

1t looks a. if some alleged 'prfvate de-
tective" had got lost from the mnagerie
and become stranded in the vicinity Of
Calf. In its issue of Saturday the GSette
relates the following story of how some
body armed with q star robbed rather
verdant individual in that burg on Thurs.
day last. According to that paper, man
named Harris stated that he was beating
his way on the passenger train from Sac
ramento to San Francisco. and on its ar
rival in Salt about o'clock in the even
ing the trainmen put him OFF the: front end
of the baggage car, where he was riding.
While the engine was taking winter and
Harris standing waiting for thetrain to
start again, he got into conversation with a
young man standing there. who finally
told Harris to come with him, that he
wanted to send him back to Sacramento.
Harris asked him by what authority he
was acting, and the fellow opened his coat
and displayed star or badge which Harris
took to be that of a policeman or some
such officer, and accordingly went with
him. The pretended officer appeared to
hhON thc iOWbt NC tOOh
Harris directly to. the callsboose, a small
building standing alone about the distance
of block from the water tank where the
train was standing.
On arriving at the Jail the alleged officer
said he would search Harris before he
locked him up. which he proceeded to do,
taking purse containing SIS in gold and ST.
In silver, silver watch and chain, and a
pocket-knife from him. The officer then
commenced to search in his pockets for the
key to the jail, which he appeared unable
TO find, and having expressed his disgust
in very emphatic terms at not being able to
produce it, he shouted to Jim" some
imaginary person in the direction of the
depot, to bring him toe key. But Jim"
did not ans wer, and the officer" then told
Harris to remain where he was until he
went for the key. and to stand out clear
from the building and not to move till he
came back or he wouldput bullet through
him, at the same timedisplayipg revolver.
The officer" then disappeared in the
darkness in the direction of the depot, and
it is supposed he boarded the train, which
was then just starting out, and left for
parts unknown. Harris remained standing
where he was put for fifteen or twenty
minutes waiting for the officer" to come
back and lock him up, but that worthy
failed to make his appearance, and citi-
zen happening to pass that way, Harris
told him of the circumstance and made in
quiries as to where an officer could be
found. He was directed to Constable Phil
lips, who went with him in search of the
pretended officer who had relieved him of
his valuables, but no such person could be
found.
The man Harris appeared to tell an hon.
est and straightforward story, and did not
have the appearance of dead-beat or COM
mon tramp, and it is probable his tale is
true.

ONE OF THE SUCCESSFUL.
A Former Sacramentan Elected to Omt
in San Francisco.

Former sacramentan Elected to Once
in San Francisco.
E. E. Ames, who was for many years a
merchant in this city, has been elected a
member of the San Francisco Board of
Education. Of course he is a Republican.
Sacramentans seem to be in demand in
that city. Several who have removed
thither have been successful in business
and politics of late years, to say nothing of
the large number of early-day residents of
this city who have for many years been
prominent in business and professional
circles there.
Among those that can be named are M.
s. Koran and James G. Nealon. The
former is said to have prospered as a law
yer, and at the late election was candi-
date for Superior Judge. While here,
Nealon was content with the modest posi-
ton of sexton of church, but he was not
long in San Francisco until he was elected
Assessor, and served two terms.
Several instances could be mentioned in
which ladies who had failed to secure posi-
tons here as teachers went to San Fran
cisco or Oakland, where they had little
difficulty in securing recognition of their
abilities, leaving our own people to expert
ment with strangers.
Some years ago the voters of this city
decided that Mr.. Ames did not suit them
for one of the members of the Board of
Trustees, but he seems to suit the people of
the metropolis. Prophets are often with
out honor at home.

Burglar Kelly Sentenced to Serve Four
teen Years.

burglar Kelly sentenced 20 serve FOUR
teen Years.
W. R. Kelly, who with Thomas Downie
and Con. O'Neill was convicted of burglary,
in having broken into one of the Southern
Pacifc's freight cars at Recklin in Septem-
Der, and stealing quantity of clothing,
was sentenced by Judge Armstrong yester-
day to fourteen years imprisonment at San
Quentin.
Kelly had evidently anticipated getting
of with something like two or three years,
and was in quite merry mood when he
entered Court. His CONSERVATION knew no
bounds, however, when he heard the
Judges decree. He lost his breath and
looked dszsd-
Say, that's pretty tough sentence" he
remarked to the Judge, after he had recov-
cred from the shock.
The Judge calmly explained that people
who INDUCED in the kind of business en-
gagged in by Kelly and his pals should be
kept out of mischief.
The attorney for O'Neill and Downie
evidently thought the wind was blowing in
the wrong direction, and asked that the
passing of sentence upon his clients be
postponed until Monday. He explained
by way of excuse, that he was thinking of
making a motion for new trials. His re-
quest was granted.

The presence of these gentlemen, says

are that the affair will be highly successful.
