The Election Commissioners Again
Settle Down to Work.

Settle Down to Work.
There is always calm after storm. and
this was never truer than when applied to the
doings of the Election Commission yester-
day. Attorney Clunie was on hand as
usual, as if nothing had happened. and took
up his accustomed stand. and scanned the
returns as they were called off. Commits
sioners Smiley and burst were the only
members Of the board present during the
forenoon, and neither of them seemed 10

torney went the Commissioners found some.
thing more attractive to look at in an oppo-
site direction.
In the afternoon Mr.. Clunie was not pres
ert, as he had other business to attend to,
and Attorney Sullivan took his place. This
intelligence was conveyed to Mr.. O'Brien
and he came into the room, but was ready
to leave 1t as soon as Mr.. Clunie appeared.
He made VOW the night before not to be
in the room with the distasteful attorney.
and 1t looks as though he intended to
keep it,
Mr.. Smiley made good speed with the can.

cincts had been counted.

Central GospeI Mission.

Another successful year has just ended
for the Central Gospel Mission, located at
the corner of Third and Stevenson streets.
A. z. Sheriff and his wife are in charge OF
the mission and have made the following
report:
I'm presenting our second annual report
we can but express our hearty thanks to
those who have SO generously aided US In
THIS important work, and express the
nope that they as we'll as others may con-
tinue to help us. The work has had three
principal features connected with il from its
beginning-temporary relief in lodging and
meals Tor the worthy and employment fees
paid Tor those who wanted to find work.
But the chief characteristic Of the work has
been. and will continue 10 be, the entire
reformation of men and women who have
gone astray.
About 200 persons have been hopefully
reformed during the past year, making 400
since the hall was first opened, chiefly young
men. There have been 72S services held
during the year, reaching. in the aggregate,
10000 persons. The services are very plain
and the work is undenominationai.
FOR the fiscal year ending November 80,
lS92, there has been received from all
sources S1674 Ga. There has been paid out
SlSl7 q. The mission is sustained by VOL
untary subscriptions and donations.
FOR the information of those who may
wish to know we add that the superintend-
and house rent There are four persons in
the family. The hungry have been fed, the
destitute relieved, the sick visited and the
erring reclaimed. We ask the sympathy
and the prayers OF all who wish well to the
purity and well-being OF our city,"

Manager Leeds Is Back,

Traffic Manager j. S. Leeds has returned
from his trip to the East much improved in
health. Two weeks absence from the cares
Of business did him world OF good, and he
is now in condition to resume work with
renewed vigor.
He reached Oakland early Yesterday
morning, his train having been compelled to
remain at the mole all night. owing 10 de-
lays caused by washout. Most of the
time away was spent on his farm in Ohio.
but he managed TO visit other places and
talk with Eastern railroad men.
Mr.. Leeds has q de finite information re-
garding the Atchison. Topeka aud Santa Fe
extension, but he thought Ii probable that
the road would eventually reach San Fran
cisco. The best thing for the State, he con-
slcered, would be the construction OF the
Salt Lake road. Eastern roads cannot be
expected 10 operate directly In the Interest
of San Francisco, and to make the country
what IL ought u be il must control trans
portatlon throughout that section contrib
buting TO the Pacific seaboard. There is
considerable talk throughout the East in
regard TO the situation here.

fight for miserable existence.

FOUR LIVES LOST.
Drowned i'm the Swollen
Arroyo Creek.
Rancher Nicholson, His Wife and Two
Children Perish-Narrow Escape
of Others.

Ernest Nicholson, a ranchman near Liy-
ermore, tried to escape with his family from
the flood Friday night, but met death in the
swift currents of the swollen Arroyo Vale
Creek, while attempting to cross In a
wagon.
There were seven in the wagon, five of
the family. the hired man and Nicholsen's
sister-in-law. TIE family lived on the
banks of the creek, and with the incessant
rain OF Friday and Friday night their house
became surrounded by water. The creek
had overlooked its banks and threatened to
sweep the dwelling away.
None of the inmates had retired, and the
danger growing momentarily greater they
started to the home of George Trues, situ-
ated on higher ground across the creek
The horses began 10 swim and In the center
of the stream the wagon sunk. The cur
rent carried them all away.
The hired man, who could swim. caught
the eldest son, aged 9. and reached the
shore with him. The father tried to save
the other son. but both persisted.
The vile and little daughter were never
sern alive afterward, and the sister-in-law
with the aid of the hired man, managed to
struggle TO the bank.
Early In the morning the bodies OF the
mother and child " ere found lodged against
a barbed- wire fence, near Pleasanton, and
those of the father and son were recovered
further down the stream. The horses sue
ceeded In reaching the shore.
An inquest was held on the bodies BY
Justice BrophY yesterday afternoon, and
they viii be buried to-day.
The house which they abandoned. fea ring

began 10 reee1e from it before morning
The rain ceased shortly after they had lett
il to go to their death. The house stands
near winding tributary of the main stream,
which. when filed with water, forms an
island.
The upper portion OF San Antonio Val
ley. where the fatality occurred, was flooded
with water. Near Livermore the Mocho
dam broke and the streets and cellars of
the town became flooded. At AlYarado il
was but little better. and had the rain con-
tinued a brief time longer much destruction
would have resulted.
A thousand feet of the railroad track
near Pleasanton was washed away, and
the trains were DELAYED for i've hours until
the damage could be hastily repaired.
Work had to be stopped in the foundry,
(which became flooded.
The Remillard brick yard was Inundated
and the machinery badly damaged.
Twenty thousand uuburned bricks were
carried away. The total loss to the yards
Is estimated at $40 900.
Ii is the biggest food experienced in the
valley since 1863. aud the wonder is that
greater destruction was not wrought

The signals flying from the roof OF the
Mills building yesterday were q puzzle to
many who tried to read them by the cards
furnished from the United States Weather
Bureau.
Only two flags were displayed-a square
blue one above and square white one be-
low. The cards state that a square blue
flag means rain or snow and white one Of
the same shape clear or fair weather.
As these appeared a contradiction CALL
reporter went nD into the signal service
office and found simple explanation.
The upper flag where there are two of
the same shape refers TO the weather al the
time the signals are hoisted. and the one
below to ths weather expected within the
next twelve hours.
In other words, the blue flag meant that
there would be rainy weather for several
hours. while the white flag meant that the
weather would clear up during the day and
that 1t would continue fair.
There was no temperature signal hoisted
because no material change in the tempera-
ture was expected, and no wind signal be-
