4 CALIFORNIA JUSTICE.

The Oakland Police Justice who some time
ago solsmnly went through the ceremony OF
hnding himself $50 for being drunk has been
relieved OF his judicial duties, but he Is still
devoted to the bottle. This passion for liquor
made him noisy and abusive Sunday night,
and he was arrested and thrown into one OF
the very cells to which he had confined scores
OF prisoners. This Oakland Dogberry fur
nishes an awful example OF the effects of
liquor, but there is nothing impressive in his
case because 1t Is so ludicrous. s.--San Frua-
cisco Chronicle.

MILES OF DEAD WIRE
That Are Not Removed From Tele-
graph Poles and Housetops.
GREAT DANGER ARISES FROM THEM
After They Have Outlived Their Usefulness
it Costs Too Much to
CUT THEM DOWN AND CART THEMAWAY

Manager 7. II. Hughes, of the Postal
Telegraph Company, who is an electrician
of well-known ability, had few remarks
dead wires, during long conversation, last
night.
"Are you aware of the fact that there are
thousands of miles of dead wires in this
city?" he began. "Well, sir, it is fact,
and, 1 might add. lamentable one, at that.
Ask all the companies in this city how many
wires they are using, add them up, and then
make count of the wires actually strung
throughout the town, and you will find that
my assertion is correct.
"They are to be found everywhere, and,
as a rule, they make all the mischief. Live
wires seldom ever do any damage. This is
owing to the fact that they are constantly In
use, and in consequence, must be watched
with care all the time. The dead ones are
the nuisances. Take the case of that fire in
the Dickson block recently, where two per-
sons lost their lives. The hook and ladder
companies were unable to get their ladders
up owing to the mass Of wires about the
corner. Now, two-thirds of them are as
dead as a door nail. Had they been weeded
out, the fremen would not have had any
trouble at all. The same thing is largely
true of every big fire down town."
HOW THE WIRES GET LEFT.
"How do you account for the presence OF
these wires?"
"That is very easily done. You know
the business of a city like this is constantly
changing. Brokers and various trades peo-
pie string wires here, there, and in every
direction. They may use them one month
or five years, but one by one they are aban-
doned, and that settles it They are never
taken down, because it costs more to do that
than to put them up, and the old wire is
practically worth nothing. In most in
stances the wire used is OF an inferior quail
ity, and much more liable to break than
good wire. This makes them doubly dan
gerous and they are a constant menace to
the public. Some two years ago Chief
Bigelow began a war on this class of wirer,
and the result was that any amount of them
were cleaned out, but the Introduction of

the grand jury, and people opposed to the
formation Of borough have hired counsel
and are making a strenuous protest. Their
present condition Is extremely bad, but
many of them fail to see how it would be
bettered by making the village borough.
County Commissioner Mckee seems to
think that the people of Oakdale, who now
want to have the place erected into bor-
ough, had better go slowly until they have
thoroughly digested the subject. He has
been studying the road improvement law
of Jefferson county, O., with COM
ments thereon by A. w. Mcdonald,
late of Corsopolis, this county, and thinks
it would produce as good result here as it
has done in Ohio. The people there are
getting good macsdamized roads, "a feet
wide, and paying for them without feeling
the burden to any erievous extent.
Strongly in Favor of a Change.
n. W. Shafer, ESQ.,, is strongly in favor
of something that will take the place
of the existing boroughs, as he says it
is generally ruled by cliques of people
whose ruling passion is a desire to get
possession OF as much of the tax levied as
possible, and give no return therefor. He
is in favor of something like township
government, and largely because it would
give the courts veto on many objection
able measures that are difficult to reach
under borough government
Henry Meyer, Esq, thought it somewhat
difficult to balance advantages and disad-
vantages of city government.
WV. Thomson, Esq, said nothing could
be done to prevent the wreckers who have
little or no stake in the public welfare, but
who cultivate politics for what there is in it.
except, possibly, a reorganization of the
whole system of the elective franchise. and
he seemed to think this can never be accom-
plished.

With oil at IS. say, the premium puts it up

than mining coal at the current rates. and if
I were not coal operator think might be

35 cents barrel. That makes a very large
margin of profit. I wish could say there

did at times?"

which have from the field, it would not
surprise me to see oil selling at 30 cents. 1
do not say it will 60 there. 1 hope it won't,
but the field is certainly bearish at this

Mr.. Hartwell had some letters from q
well-informed man, who was scouting
through the new territory south of the Ohio.
Two of the letters he had just received and
had not yet opened. He handed them to me
to read. 1 know the writer we'll as a man
exceptionally well informed on oil territory,
resident OF Oil City, and an operator for
25 years. The letters were based on personal
inspection of the field south of Pittsburg,
and could find nothing in them to encour-
age the hope of better prices. They told Of
amazing activity among oil men and men
who hoped to become oil men in an en-
deavor to get hold of territory and drill on

Pleas of Some People Who Have to Call at
the Court House-The McKee's Rocks
Struggle for Incorporation as Borough.
Wesley Greer, of Bakerstown, charged
with felonious assault and battery on R. S.
HARRISON, was tried Yesterday, and after the
evidence for the prosecution was in, Judge
Stowe allowed plea of simple assault and
battery to be entered. The testimony de-
veloped the fact that the prosecutor had
been the aggressor. and the row was the re-
suit of an old grudge. After hearing some
witnesses for the defense, Judge Stowe ordered
Mr.. HARRISON, the prosecutor, to give bond in
the sum of $500 to keep the peace, sentence
meanwhile being suspended on the defendant
Sandy Taylor, a colored man, pleaded guilty
to a charge of aggravated assault and battery
on John Williams and was sent to the work

electric motor cars and other things put
stop to the work. think the city has
right to order these wires down, and it GER
tainly should be done"
What are your views on the subject OF
overhead wires in general?"
81 think this is question that will have
to be dealt with by the Legislature before it
will ever be in proper shape. At present it
is hard to tell where the authority of various
municipalities begins and where it ends.
One thing has been clearly demonstrated,
however, and that is underground wires are
no earthly good in the same territory where
overhead wires are allowed for electric cars
and lights. They must all 60 one way or
the other.
A wedding OUT NECESSARY.
"But great deal of good can be accom-
plished BY wedding out the dead wires that
now cling to the poles The big storm that
has just passed over the city shows how
dangerous and what nuisances they are.
Take the case of the killing of two horses on
Third avenue. Now, it was really remark
able that human lives were not also sacri-
feed. Many people had wonderfully close
calls, and all because these dead wires are
allowed to remain where they are.
"Take again, the case of the Second Ave-
nue. Electric line. They were tied up for
nearly three days, chiefly because their live
wires were tangled up with useless ones, in
majority of instances Reform this evil,
and most of the disagreeable features of the
overhead problem will be done away with. I"
During further investigation of the sub
ject of overhead wires, i. was freely stated
that the telephone company's wires were in
very bad shape. To begin with, they were not
frst-class material when put up, and many
of them had been strung for 10 years. where
as the life of the wire was only about eight
or nine years. None of the officials of the
company could be seen, all being so busy
repairing storm damages, but it was stated
that they made no denials on this score.
One reason why more repairs had not been
made was that arising out of the uncertainty
attached to the overhead question.
