THE BICYCLE ROW.
1t Came With Great Uproar and the
Bay CitYs Won.

Bay Citys Won.
The row foreshadowed in yesterday
mornings CALL came along with the annual
meeting of the California division of the
League Of American Wheelmen at Odd
Fellows Hall last night. George H. Strong,
ch1ef consul OF the division, presided.
The row began early with the demand
for the report Of the credentials committee,
ana IL kept the meeting in an uprOar until
midnight when the Bay Citys won the an
nual meet at their own terms, because SO
many frcm across the bay had to go home.
When after much trouble the report was
submitted. the majority report threw out
S67 proxies held by those present and ad-
mitted 500 proxies. A minority report by a
member of the Bay City Club of San Fran
cisco declared all the proxies correct.
1he majority report was adopted, and so
the Bay Cttys were shOrn of their strength.
Noisy opposition to all propositions kept
the meeting al a standstill, but finally the
selection OF a place for holding the annual
meet in July came up.
The Bay Ciys proposed to provide a
track and entertainment and take the prof.
It's. The Garden City cyclers offered half
the profits to the division, and the Alameda
Club offered a track free.
The Bay Citys DELAYED the vote by their
uproar until after midnight, when they car
ried the day amid their own cheers aud the
groans and misses of their opponents.
Another election is possibility.

RICHMOND SEWER.
Heated Meeting of the
District Club.
Charges of Corruption, Extortion and
Fraud Banded by Opposing Rep
resentativeS.

The Richmond Improvement Club met
again last evening to discuss matters aD-
pertaining to the much-longed-for sewer
outlet for that district. All parties inter-
ested in the tangled affair had been re-
quested to be present, and when the chair
man called the assemblage to order every
seat in the large hall on the corner of
Tenth and Point Lobos avenues was occu-
pied and large crowd filed the aisles and
all available nooks and corners, while
many failed to even gain admission. 1t
was gala night for the club, and it was
thought that at least some form of COM
promise would be effected.
On either side of the chairman's desk
were seated throDg of legal lights. street
contractors. city and county officials and a
number of advisers who seemed to take a
profound interest in the proceedings. Rev.
Father McGinty, rector of the Star of the
Ocean Parish. sat at the table with Chair
man Charles Il. Hubbs.
Attorney +. A. Orr, representing Nc.
C0rmlck, opened the discussion, outlining
the facts Of the case, as have heretofore
been published in THE CALL. He claimed
that 1t was not only unjust, but illegal, for
the Superintendent Of Streets to dem land
such enormous sums for so-called incl
signing the contract, which had been duly
awarded by the Board of Supervisors.
Inc sums IN question include printing,
surveying, etc, since the first order for the
work. in 1889. The bills claimed are as
follows: Printing, $S26; Surveyor Tilton's
fees. $500; Surveyor Fi.Zhugh's fees,
$1,000, making in all SIG, ,326.
MIR. Orr declared that Fitzhugh's de-
mands were ridiculous. as he had done
nothing besides tracing Mr.. Tilton's plan
Tor the course of the main which could be
done by schoolboy.
Mccormick followed. and went off like a
frecracker. He accused all interested in
the affair OF crookedness. and wound up
0y declaring that the people OF Richmond
were being fraudulently assessedsfor VIC X
which has never been done.
Larry Welsh, Deputy Street Superin-
tendent. jumped to his feet, and In forci BILE
tones denounced McCormick's statements
as untrue. He denied that be was in
league with Ackerso or any one else in
the sewer trouble. &
Deputy Surveyor Hokum then gave his
version of the affair. endeavoring to
squelch the Mccormick faction, but was
interrupted by Chairman Hubbs, who en-
deavOred to pacify the contractor and form
some agreement whereby the work could
be gone on with at once. Mccormick,
however. bitterly protested against any
compromise.
A general tilt followed. Mccormick put
on his hat and left, although his attorney
wanted him to remain. Welsh held the
floor for some time, but receiving little en-
couragemenv, he too departed. One by
one gradually dropped out, and after the
confusion had subsided an adjournment
was taken for two weeks and in the mean
time committee will endeavor to secure
speedy bearing of the mandamus suit be-
fore Judge Wallace, which. it is hoped,
will end the long dispute.

BRANSON-SALINGER.
A Midnight Marriage at Saratoga
Hall.

opera 10 the evening, and then before the
midnight hour has chimed out 10 20

unusual to say the least.
Ali this did Miss Tilie Salinger yesterday
the Mrs. Branson of to-day. AtSaratoga
Hall last night the throng of weli-wishers
was large enough to comfortably I'LL the
apartment. The decorations were simple,
and consisted of immense poDpons OF
variegated flowers suspended from the
chandeliers and mass of chrvsanthemums
gracefully arranged on the dais where the
ceremony was performed. Overhead
swung a marriage-bell composed ntirely
of white roses. Around the dais the chairs
had been arranged in horseshoe form
emil blem of good luck-leaving large open
space in the center of the hall.
AT a quarter before II o'clock the first
notes of the bridal chorus from "L0hen-
grin" swelled upon the air and were taken
up the Tiv0li chorus under the able leader
ship OF Adolph Bauer. A moment later
Miss Salinger entered the hall leaning On
two bridesmaids, Miss Lena Saiinger and
Miss Fanny Liddiard. The groom. Phil
BransOn, with George Lask and o. b.
Fyfe as groOmsmeD, received the bride In
front of the dais, where Rev. Leslie w.
Sprague of the Second Unitarian Church
ned already taken bis stand. The group
formed pretty picture.
The bride was charmingly arrayed in
robe Of shell-pnk faile Franchise made
with long court train and trimmed wich
duchess lace and chiffon and silver passe-
menterie. Her coiffure was adorned with
orange blossoms from which flowed in
graceful folds the veil. She held bou-
quet of orange blossoms also 10 her hand;
Miss Fanny LiddiaId wore robe of
deep pink, cut decollete, with wide sleeves
dantily trimmed with chiffon.
Miss Lena Salinger, sister of the bride,
appeared charming In a gown of blue
faille Francaise, made dancing length and
cut decollete. The elbow sleeves were
very bouffant and were met by gloves Of
undressed kid to match the dress. She
carried fan and bouquet of roses.
The service was very short, the cere-
mony proper being prefaced by most
poetical description OF the marriage obli-
cations, which was forcefully given by
DR.. Sprague. The last words having been
spoken, the groom was quick to claim
loves tribute from his bride, and then

made wife and wish her all kinds of
happiness.
Supper was served at 1890 la buffet
and the wedding cake cut by the bride.
The wedding presents the happy couple
have received are numerous enough to fill
three wagons, and congratulations have
been pouring in from the four quarters of
the globe. The gentlemen of the Tivoli
chorus gave An elegant dinner service of
132 pieces; the ladies handsome set of
knives and forks.
After supper the floor was cleared for
dancing. which was kept up until an ad-
vanced hour in the morning.

STILL A MYSTERR.
George Schroeder's Death Beins
Investigated,

The inquest on the body of George
Schroeder, the sailor who was found dead
in bed last Saturday afternoon at 32e
Kearny street. was commenced yesterday.
AS Schroeder's room was full of gas
when his body was found, it was concluded
that he had been asphyXiated. but the cir
cumstances detailed in Tuesdays CALL
led to the suspicion that he might have
met with foul play.
The only important fact brought out
yesterday, which was not known till the
analysis Of the stomach had been made
by DR.. Charles l.. Darlington, was
that about thirty grains of opium
were found in the stomach, FIVE grains
being suffic ent to kill man not habituated
to its use 1t had been administered in a
LIQUID form. Another thing is that the
presence of alcohol was found not In the
stomach.
Several witnesses were examined but
their testimony did not throw mucn light
on the case.
The inquest will be resumed tomorrow
morning al O:30 o'clock, when two other
witnesses will be examined, but iJ is doubt
full if their evidence will throw any more
light on the mystery.
