The Board OF Trustees met 10 annual

entirely unreliable. often leaving the town
in complete darkness. A new plant was
promised by the proprietor by the 18th ID
the present month, but 1t has not appeared.
The board passed resolution TO the effect
that the contract or city lighting would be
rescinded unless the lighting was made
satisfactory within ten days. a protest
against granting franchise for an electric
road on Durant avenue was read, but the
board granted the franchise.
The event OF the evening was the motion
of Trustee Whitney, advocated by Clerk
Spear, 10 appoint an expert to examine the
Treasurer books. The Treasurer Mr..
Thomas Ham. Is one of Berkeley's oldest
and most respected citizens, having been
reelected Town Treasurer for term after
term. Mr.. Hams friends have known of
his shortage for some time, and by the
transfer of the Ham block on Center street
and Nh. Hams property on Vine street
and Shattuck avenue have endeavOred to
meet the demands. 1t is thought he is short
for some So. 600; the money has been used
for the erection and equipping OF the Ham
block, the first $1,000 drawn from the treas
ury being used to purchase the block on
which the building stands. None Of the
money has been used in personal extrav-
agance. Mr.. Ham appeared as follows in
the Berkeley Advocate Of last evening:
BERKELEY, Jan. II, 1898.
To the people of the tO'cil Of Berkeley: AS 1t
is now generally known that there Is some trou-
bic IN my accounts with The town aud that there
is a shortage, j ask the part of my fellow
citizens a suspension OF judgment until the facts
are fully shown. My books and the towns will

pleted 1t would be impossible for me or any one
to state In what condition my affairs are. BY

may be found and shall be able TO pay all claims

OVER IN OAKLAND.
Testimony Taken in the
Drowning Case.
An Apparent Shortage Discovered in
the Berkeley City Treasury.
Political rlatters.

Some peculiar testimony not bearing on
the case was given yesterday at the inquest
over the body of Fred PucBelwartZ,
drowned at the city wharf Sunday night.
j. Waybick said: II was returning 10 the
barge about midnight when l saw three
men sitting on the wharf pulling q rope.
When they saw me they stopped. and |
passed, not wishing to modest them
G. A. Thompson, who testified immedi-
ately afterward. said: II was returning a
little in advance of Puckelwartz, and after
Waybck was in bed. On the wharf | met
two men who we're carrying a pole, and on
the pole were six or eight cans that looked
like opium-cans. did not speak to them"
City Wharfnger HoughtOn was seen in
regard to this testimony yesterday, and he
said that the only vessels at the city wharf
on Sunday night were the seow schoOners
Etna and Mignionett 1t was not likely
that either had opium. but 1t was not at ali
unlikely, he said, that smuggling was going
on.
There is no easier place." said Mr..
Houghlon, than the Oakland Creek for
smuggling. A slOop can easily run INTO the
place. dump its load and clear out with but
little fear Of discovery. There is no one on
watch, and the water front IS lonely as a
jungle after nghttall. There are lots Of
places where a wagon can back down, take
It's load almost from the very how OF sloOp
at high tide. and get away without being
seen. The creek could be made the snug
gler'S paradise"
There is fatality about the PuckelwartZ
family. The wife of Fred Puckelwartz the
man who was drowned Sunday night, met
a violent death in East Oakland Oh October
10. 1887, by being run over by the local
train. Both lower limbs were cut of and
she died at the Receiving Hospital. A year
previous their only child was burned to
death. PuckelwaTiZ had been in the EN-
ploy Of the California Bridge Company for
several years. but took TO drink, and met
his own death by stepping Of the wharf in
the darkness.
The Municipal League held another meet
ing behind closed doors last night 10 discuss
the illegibility of various candidates. As at
the former meeting a motion was carried
that no newspaper should be given any in
formation. Ii is known that there is divi-
sion between Democrats and Republicans in
the league. which has caused a deadlock
about putting up candidates for the time
being. but this will soon be amicaby adj
justed, the leaders claim.

An Ocean Oddity.

There are scores upon scores of
different forms of marine animal life
that come within the category as
signed to "star fishes" but the most
singular specimen in the whole group
is the splendid Astrophyton--the
'.Sea Basket" OF the sailors 1t is
truly wonderful specimen of ma
rine life, having hundreds OF long
and short, straight, twisted and curled
tentacles; and, but for the geometric
precision Of the plan upon which the
star-like "boay" is fashioned. might
be mistaken for miniature, circular
specimen of the devil fish. The CEN
ter of the creature, tho "hub" from
which the five stout arms radiate, is
tho body, head and thinking ma.
chine" Of our curious Astrophyton.
The whole, not including the laby-
rinthine tentacles, which branch to
all points of the compass, looks for
all the world like an animated Fourth
Of July fire wheel The five main
arms are divided into three each
within short space from the astro's
body, and these three are almost i'm
mediately subdivided into innumer-
able other arms and tentacles, the
whole forming a net by means OF
which it captures its prey and hold s
it's victims until the life has been
sucked out OF them.

The Des Moines Fire.

Hardly any local interest shows more
markedly the increase in home patron
age than fire and life insurance. The
business sagacity which prompts Iowa
business men and farmers to keep their
money within the state shows fruit in
solldity and prosperity on all sides.
The Des Moines Fire Insurance COM
pany is a good illustration. A few
years ago, before the public sentiment
was aroused to this question, this com
pany could only secure Iowa patronage
to the extent of about 500, 900 per
annum. Last year it reached S276, 600,
and this year will easily reach over
$1,000 IN premiums. All of this
money will be disbursed in losses, ex-
penscs and benefits to Iowa people,
and thus within our own borders this
money is kept actively passing from
Fand to hand and directly benefit ting
every other local industry. The Des
Mojnes is strictly a home company,
confines ITS business to Iowa, and
strongly merits the liberal patronage
indicated by It's great gains in business,
This company shows larger gains aud a
smaller loss ratio for series of years
than any other company doing gen.
eral business in Iowa.
We patroniZe the Des Moines and
recommend it to our friends and Iowa

A Russian Dog Goes Into Hypnotic
frances and Eoes Strange Tricks.
All St. Petersburg has gone wild
over something new, dog which
goes off into hypnotic frances. This
remarkable animal belongs to NJ.
Durow, who was awarded a gold
medal by the Paris academy Of
sciences for his original investigation
! and discoveries in the science OF
hypnotism as applied to animals and
its effects upon them. Several tests
have been made OF the ami
NAL in the presence of no
less person than Dir Afanasiev, of
the war department One of the
tests, related by the New York Re-
corder, consisted in placing several
! articles, as pencil, cigar case,
handkerchief, cuff button, etc, on
the floor, Then the dog having been
! thrown into a hypnotic trance by
! him, Nj. Duroy requested one of the
audience, which consisted also of
several other physicians of renown
and some newspaper men, to think
about something and what tho dog
| was to do with it, then to write it out
on a piece of paper and show il to the
rest Of the audience, excepting, of
| course, himself This was done, AMI,
! the dog having boon brought in,
what was the establishment OF the
whole assemblage TO see the animal
go up to the cigar case, pick it up
and bring it to the one who had been
| indicated in the wish. Another test
consisted in laying several cubes
with figures ON them in certain or
| der in closed box. At the same
| time several pieces Of paper were
put upon the floor bearing like num-
bers on each. The dog was then
called in and required to place the
pieces of paper in the same order as
the cubes were laid in the closed and
sealed box. This he did, to the as
constituent of all assembled. Tie
strangeness of the whole procedure
is increased when it is remembered
that NJ. Duroy knows no more about
what is being done or wished than
does the dog, and is, therefore, en-
tirely unable to in any way prompt
| him.

may have often envied his canine
friends, whose lack of vocation gave
them greater freedom, and longed
to wander beyond the narrow
confines of his daily prison, but his
frolicsome tendencies and his prone

his relentless master. until he has
learned to regard freedom from care,
the right to frolic and the privilege
of idleness as beneath the dignity
