The morning call., 1893-10-15
BERKELEY.

It is possible now that the Southern
Pacific has decided-in it's own mind, at
least-to put an end TO free riding in Oak
land, some similar action will be taken in
Berkeley. At present riding between the
three stations-Dwight. Berkeley proper
and Berryman-is free. From Bergman
TO Dwight is a distance of about two
miles, and the free service is quite con-
venience. The people have also griev-
ance against the railroad company and
object quite strongly to having to wait
more or less at the pier for the Slow
moving Oakland train 10 get in. If Oak
land ana the company must be "at outs"
Berkeleyites see 10 reason why they
should be made TO suffer.
At the Midnight Hour.
The 6rebell of the Columbia Volunteer
Fire Company tOlled at midnight Friday
night. L. G. Brotherton, night watchman.
discovered a FIRE in the rear of the fruit
store on Shattuck and University avenues.
hosecart was quickly gotten upon the
grounds and the fire, which was only in
refuse pile. was extinguIshed.
Beacon Company OF the West End had
q practice run on the same evening, run
ming from Fifth and Harrison avenue to
EiRUJU anu sun.
An Association Needed.
An association for the prevention of
cruelty to animals is needed in Berkeley
as frequent occasions of shameful beating
of horses occur. Two DAYS ago the horses of
one of the streets t-sprinkling carts refusing so
pull a filed cart we're beaten by the driver
and pelted with rocks by the bystanders
for several minutes before they were forced
10 move the cart. Yesterday complaint
was lodged with Judge Long against a
driver of an overloaded hay wagon who
shamefnlly beat his dumb servants for not
being able 10 move the load. He will have
the opportunity of answering for bis ac-
tion in court next week.

FIorfculturists.
Professor E. j. Wicks0n and Captain
Kelner of the university, who, with Mrs.
Croft from the committee TO devise means
for foo ting the bills should the State Floral
Society undertake the floral decoratloDs-
outside aud inside for the Mdwinter
Fair, hope to be able to find or make n
way. Berkeley fioricullursts have never
taken much interest in the society, and es-
pecialy in this latest project. but as the
floral society is already in debt, it is hard
TO foretell whence will come the sinews of
war.
