Mr.. Touhey, the contractor, said that

claimed that in spring it would be one of

Mr. Touhey and the Board demanded
that MIR. Scott produce the name of any

Mr.. Scott at first hesitsted. but afterwards
said that Mr.. Touhey had influenced
Thomas Lynn, the grocer at Fourteenth
end streets, by giving him an order fer
$3.50 worth of groceries just after the work
en- the street had been completed. Mr.
Scott claimed that Mr.. Lynn at first made
strong objections to the manner in which
Mr. Toubey had performed his contract,
but after he had been given the order for
a large amount of goods. he ceased to
interpose any objection. He had stated
that he could not afford TO oppose the pay
ment of Mr.. Toubey claims.
Mr.. Touhey said he had always been a
customer OF Mr.. Lynn, and lie simply paid
an honest debt.
Al er further argument, the Board de-
cided TO visit the street and see what kind
of material had been used.

robbed a passenger Of an overcoat and
valise on one of the east-bound overland
trains between Benicia and Suisun, and
afterwards made sensational escape from
the train by jumping through window
while the train was going at high speed,
appeared before Superior Judge Van Fleet
yesterday afternoon for arraignment.
District Attorney Ryan stated to the
Court that his predecessor, Mr.. Bruner, had
consented to allow Clarkson to plead guilty
TO petty larceny, instead of burglary. MI.
Ryan said he did not know anything about
the case, but was satisfied such DISPOSE
ton would be proper.
Detective Ben. True, who arrested Clark
son, stated that he and Mr. Bruner had
agreed not to push the charge of burglary
as Clarkson was very repentant, and besides
it was his first ofense. The property stolen
had all been recovered, ana they were satis-
fed that the crime was only the result Of d
drunken freak"

The Board of Education and Certain
Street Assessments.
While the City Trustees were in session
yesterday communication was received
from Albert Hart, Superintendent Of
Schools, stating that the Board of Educa.
ton had been again presented with bill
for street work around school property, and
had refused to pay it. The Directors de.
cided not to pay for any street work per.
formed on property belonging to the city,
unless the Trustees gave then the means
with which to do it or confirmed the sale
of the Perry Seminary for sum not less
than $4,000.
&. W. Parker, the street contractor, stated
that the Board of Education was emphatic
in its refusal TO pay bis claim of $3.50 AZ.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he thought the
School Directors were trying to get the
Trustees to dispose of the seminary build
ing, and cared little whether the sale
would be fair one
The Mayor and Trustee Wolf thought
that $4,000, which had been offered for
the property, was reasonable price for it.
Action on the matter was postponed uE.
til the afternoon session, when the 1rus-
tees consented to the sale of the seminary

AT the afternoon session of the Board of
City Trustees yesterday a number of the
property-owners on Fourteenth street. be
tween N and o, were present to give their
reasons for objecting to the manner in
which the grading and graveling had been
done.
P. T. Scott, who resides on Fourteenth
and streets, said he had no fault to find
as regards the amount of gravel, but he
thought that more dirt might have been
hauled away than the specifications called
for. and the grade of the street would
thereby be made lower than the inter-
sections. The almost impossible condi-
tio1, of the street after the late rain showed
) that Che work had not been properly done.
Mr.. Scott stated that loads of cobbies had
been hs1 led on the street and dumped in
different places without being spread.
