A FAMILY JAR.
Charley Sneider Arrested on Complaint
of His Wife,

Charley Sneider Arrested on Complaint
of His Wife.
The life OF hack driver is not always
monotonous, as Charley Sneider is no
doubt rejecting in cell at the city Jail,
where he was placed yesterday after
noon by virtue OF complaint sworn out
by a good-looking woman who gives her
name as Mrs. Charley Sneider. She
has been living at lodging house on
South Spring street, and yesterday do
mestic squabble took place which, ac-
cording to her version, resulted in a
vicious assault upon her by the hack
man.
She states that she came into her
room and found Sneioer there. When
she came close to him he took his hand
from behind his back and she saw that
he had piece of iron. He raised it as
II to strike her, and she turned quickly
around and ran out of the door. She
went down stairs at a lively rate, tum-
bling down several steps, and ran into
a saloon near by, Sneider following her.
He attempted, she says, to get
at her, but was prevented
by the man in charge, and
was put out OF the house. She remain
ed in the saloon, afraid to go out for
fear she would be again attacked.
Finally she managed to get up to the
police station, and gave the statement
to the police. Sneider was arrested
shortly afterwards and brought to the
station. His bail had been fixed at
500 cash or $500 ball. which he could
not give, and was locked up.
When asked at the station what was
the matter, he said he had been run in
for assaulting the "old woman" 1t
was intimated by Mrs. Sneider that she
had read the riot act to him for remarks
she had heard he had made about her,
to the effect that he was going to put
her in house OF i'll fame and secure
the money which she might make. The
case will probably be lively one when
1T comes up for trial.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
News Notes Gathered From the Ex.
hibit Rooms.

AiDAt ANOOAlSs
The chamber of CO nmerce is actively
engaged in getting ups carload of South
ern California products to be sent to the
National Alliance convention soon to be
held at indianapolis. Notices have been
sent out in every direction to farmers
and local Alliances requesting them to
send in products. The time is short,
and all exhibits must be on hand by
November 9th, as the car will be started
on the night of November 9TH.
The chamber is very desirous of hav-
ing fine carload to send on, because
Northern California will send carload,
and Southern California should not be
second best, particularly at convention
of this kind, where there will be from
10000 to $4,000 delegates from all parts
of the United States.
Several letters were received yesterday
from San Diego county with reference to
the project by that county of making a
county exhibit in the permanent ex-
hibit in this city. The board of super
visors of San Diego county have signi-
fed their willingness to assist in the
matter, and there is no longer any
doubt that San Diego will soon be in the
ring. This will make permanent ex-
hibit in this city of all the counties in
Southern California with the exception
of Orange, and it is hoped that it will
soon join the procession, thus enlarging
