Another Merchant Succumbs.
Financial trouble has overtaken another
Oakland dry-goods merchant. lnlS tiine
it is j. S. McShane, who ran an extensive
establishment at the corner OF Ihlrteenth
street and Broadway. In the canning
block.
Mr.. McShane has been in business there
for quite while, and up to last year the
establishment was run under the name OF
the Kennedy McSbaDe Company. Inc
latter purchased the interest OF MI. hen-
nedy, and it was supposed was on pretty
good foundation; hut yesterday the SnerlH
received the following telegram:
To Robert McKilIican, Sheriff: Under the
accompanying writ attach the store and con
tents Of delendant at 1921 Broadway. Take
books OF account into possession. hee1 store
closed. JOSEPH Kirk.
Kirk is an attorney acting for Joseph A.
Ford, with Murphy, Grant & Co., VINO
recently brought an action In San FRAN,
cisco against McShane for S10,319 n, and
in whose favor an attachment was issued.
There was second attachment issued 10
the same party for $780, The attach
ments were issued by Judge HebDard ana
as soon as the Sheriff got the telegram he
put big paddock on the door OF the store.
He was ordered to release the attachment
only when McShane put up sufficient
bond to cover the Indebtedness.
Colonel Irish and the Speakers.
The strike has borne fruit in meetings by
friends and enemies of the strikers, and
John p lrish's name has figured TO a
greater or less degree in remarks by
speakers at these meetings. He was
speaker himself at the Mayors meeting.
and was pretty roughly handle ed by speak
ers at the strikers meeting at the Taber-
nacle on Thursday night
Yesterday ColoRel Irish had this to say
In an Oakland journal:
Editor Enqu,rsrs note with entire indier-
ence the attitude of the morning organ of the
strike in this city and with equal indifference

night not 10 Interfere with the strike nor TO ad-
Indicate It's causes, but 10 see the law enforced
and It's violations, urtiul TO the interests and
reputation OF Oakland siOpped.
They stopped next day and every good citl-
zen hopes that they Will not be revived. The
strikers, like the rest OF US, must attain their
ends by lawful means or not at all. To con-
cede 10 them or anybody else any more means
anarchy instead Of law. Burning the Mayor in
eft1gy is harmless ebullition of lawless
spirit, which only Increases the respect in
which he is held by orderly citizens. IL the
strikers confne themselves to such expressions
OF opinion and 10 verbal abuse OF the law and
order element OF the city IN meetings, aud
through their organ, no one cares.
l am firm in the belief that these mistaken
fellow citizens OF ours will finally realize their
equal stake in the enforcement OF the law. and
then all differences will vanish with The dis.
appearance Of their cause. Very truly.
JOHN L. IRISH.
The Parents Insane.
Samuel Samuels, who represents himself
as a friend, has petitioned for letters of

real property valued at $500, and that
Mrs Caldwell has no relatives who are
here to attend to matters for the two minor
children of the unfortunate woman, and
that her husband and the father of the
children. Charles W. Caldwell, is also an
inmate of the asylum for insane at Stock
ton.
The case of the Caldwells is very sad
one. About eight months ago Caldwell,
who was q hard working carpenter In East
Oakland, became mentally unbalanced,

money in bank. He was adjudged insane
and sent to the asylum. His wife brooded
over her husbands commitment. aud re-

examined and also sent TO the asylum.
The two little children of the couple are
in the hands Of kind people.
