INDIGNANT ALAMEDANS
They Have No Use for Horse
Car Lines.
A Street Railway Magnats Has His Line
Boycotted in Consequence Of Thwart-
ing the Peoples Desires.

There is an amusing rivalry going on in
Alameda between the Park-street car line
and the bus company.
Until several months ago the people of
Alameda were compelled either TO take the
tortuous and slow-going ear line to Oakland
or pay 10 cents 10 make the journey by rail-
road.
relief was afforded. however, much to
The horror Of the railroad company. by an
anterprising individual. who put on bus
line between Park-street station on the mar
row-gauge and Twenty third avenue sta
ton.
The bus line bridged the chasm between
both cities and made connection with the
local trains. on which the traveller can in
dulge in free riding ad libitum.
There was only mile stretch between
points and over this distance the buses
carried passengers for five cents
This enterprise solved the difficulties of
communication between Oakland and Ala
media at once.
AT about the time the bus line went into
operation w. NJ. Rank appeared on the
scene.
he purchased the Alameda car line, that
had been an eyesore and heartscold to the
people OF that city for many years.
Rank stated lie was going TO turn the road
into an electric line. He also gave further
evidence Of his great enterprise by asking
Tor franchise for a stree t-railway line
along Park street, 10 connect with Twenty
third avenue station in Brooklyn.
This was granted him and Rank immedi-
aieiy began laying the rails for the new line.
The road was completed yesterday and
cars began running on the route. But 10 !
they were drawn by horses and the citizens
OF Alameda grew wrathy at the sight.
Rank thought bis car line would drive the
buses out OF the business, but he was sadly
mistaken.
The people of Alameda want an electric
line and they have taken the contract to
compel Rank TO accede to their wishes by
avoiding the horsecars The consequence
is that the buses ply along the route
crowded TO the limit with passengers. The
cars have no one on board but the drivers
To all appearances they look as If they were
being run TO keep the axles from rusiiDg.
The horsecars are jeered and tbe buses
cheered as they come driving I'D Park
street at a peimell gait
The merchants On Park street say they
will do all they can TO withhold traffic from
the cars. Ii the line Is patronized, they say,
Rank Will never put up his electric wires,
and Alameda Is too progressive n city to
have any further use for horsecars

The Citizens Anti-Dive League, Rev DR.. A.

The indignation of the Auti-Dive League
against the Chronicle is bursting the bonds

The faxed" speeches published by De
Young and attributed to this or that clergy
man have excited storm OF disgust.
To forge name is penal, but to forge
clergyman's sentiments-the sentiments of
leader in the church-is considered fair by
De Young.
That unscrupulous individual is straning
every nerve to support bis case by some
testimony other than his own say-so or that
of his low dive friends.
He is a veniriloQuist who selects his vic

Then the tall building on Market street,
where the Chronicle is published and
which looks like factory-and 1t is Il fac

mouths of respectable men.
The people know ii is Mike yentriloQuiz-

spected citizens used as mediums for the
incoDgruous stuff attributed to them object
very strongly.
Their names have been unwarrantably
used TO try and persuade the people that the
Anti-Diye League is opposed to Ellert and

These clergymen and others maligned

terday afternoon. The occasion was The
sale OF the standard and high-bred brood
mares. colts and fllies of John l.. McCord,
the well-known Sacramento breeder.
The bidding was not so lively as might
have been expected from the class and
breeding of the horses catalogued. still
Auctloneers killip and Dave Eisemsn were
kept hard at work disposing of the tifty-one
lots. The three particular stars of the sale
went remarkably cheap. The first was

pected 10 bring a phenomenal figure, but
when 500 had been reached she was
bought in.
When Mary Lou, by Tom Benton out of
Brown Jennie, was led out there was some
spirited bidding. and finally she was knocked
down, dirt cheap, to DIR. Eckles for $1,000.
Then Shylock, the well-known campsiener

Mr.. GEORGE OsaooDBY, of Pomona.
author of the Murchison letter which
cut 30 important figure in the election
OF Mr.. Harrison four years ago, was in
the city yesterday, and now claims that
he has letters written by the president
which will, when made public, have an
important influence upon the present
campaign. We are led to believe that
these letters would prove injurious TO
Mr.. Harrieon's chances if given to the
public; but we can only guess at the
tenor Of the epistles. They probably will
disclose that there was a conspiracy to
entrap Sir Lionel Sackville West into the
unfortunate step he took during the
campaign to compromise himself in
American politics whilst holding the po-
sition OF British minister at Washing
ton, and from which he was promptly
retired as person non grata by the
American government. Doubtless the
letters Mn Osgoodby has will be made
public before the sth of November.

This was good selection. Mr.. Brooks
has faculty of ''gettiDg there"
and his preferment is not only an
honor to himself, but good augury for
his party's success. 1t means that the

conducted with sagacity and vigor. He
was leading member of the late city

efforts. the precincts hereafter, instead
OF the wards, will be the great factors in

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE GRANDPA fair house greeted
Geoge w. Lederer's stock c. medians in
Mrs. Romualdo Pacheco's comedy of
Nothing But Money. The play is an
amusing extravaganza, abounding in
funny situations and sprightly dialogue.
1t preserves one of the dramatic unities,
that of place, in striking manner, for the
whole action of the piece takes place in
a country house near New York, and it's
duration is limited to morning and
evening and afternoon of the next day.
The dramatis persona embrace harum
scarum American, one David Wilder, an
idiotic Englishman named Lord Her
bert Craven, several grass widows, a
senile Russian fop, an ingenue, crazy
Cuban and his wife and a gentleman in
love with the iDgenue, and servant.
Mr.. E. S. Davenport as David Wilder
proved himself an easy and finished
actor, who, without exceptional talent,
pleased his audience by his naturalness
and sang .froid. He probably has latent
abilities which might recall his illus
trious father or sister Fanny. but, if he
has, this piece does not admit OF his
showing them to great advantage. His
brother, Mr.. Harry Davenport, oe-
velops quite line of eccen-
trio comedy capabilities, giving
the traditional fool English noble-
man "a very strained conceit by
the way) with a good deal of comical
effect. Mr.. Louis Mann rendered the
ineanely jealous Cuban with intelli-
gence and maniac energy. This charac-
ter is somewhat exaggerated, or, rather,
the action is frequently out of the line
of the probable. Mr.. William Norris
gave a quite satisfactory Interpretation
of Baron Alexander Popoff. doddering
old beau who still regards himself as in
the swim. The lover of Mr.. Julian
Steger, who played the role of Frederick
Carleton, was in many respects consci-
entious although not ambitious piece OF
acting.
Beyond all question the honors of the
evening were carried off by Miss Ellen
Burg, who made much of the character
of Zoe de Brissac, Wilder's first wife. A
statuesqpe figure and handsome and
piouant face add charms to her really
clever rendition of versatile and inn
pulsive French woman, who talks Eng
lish in musical cadences, with delicious
French accent. There was no end of
fascination in her spirited and well sus-
tanned dialectic effort. The other ladies
of the troupe acquitted themselves &C.
ceptably, and the ingenue, Miss Grace
Thornton, is exceedingly pretty and
winning. The play runs for the rest oi
the week, with Saturday matinee.

There is here 70 possible question Of

more particularly the case when the
