Mix's Petition Withdrawn.
Lady Yarde-Buller will not have
chance to protest against the application
of GuStave Mix, her uncle. To have her
mother, his sister, Mrs. General Kirkaam,
declared incompetent, and to have himself
appointed guardian over her person and
estate, and Incidentally the lady will have
to postpone the threatened exhibition of
suDdTy family skeletons. When the mat
Ter OF the hearing Of the application came
Up In court yesterday morning, the petit
I'm was ulsHisSeu at tne request of Mr.,
MIX, who said that neither he nor the
hrkham family desired any trouble over
the estate Of the late general or any con-
troversy with Lady Yarde-Bulsr OF Lon

VIII Build Anyhow.
The Alameda, Oakland ana Piedmont
Railway Company have practically aban-
doned all hope Of securing a franchise an
l.
day ordered that the work of laying the
track be resumed on Eleventh street in
such places as are not covered Dv the
many injunctions which have been issued
to property-owners.
Both the Highland Park and Alameda
companies characterize as absurd the con-
tention of those EleveDth-stree objectors
who say that the franchises which they
have along the street ia question are in-
valid, and they hold, and so do many
leading ATTORNEYS, that these franchises
are just as valid as any which have ever
been gran ed by any Council in this city.
The railroad people seem to feel very con-
fdent that all tne injunclions will be dis
solved.
70 Please the Veterans.
Oakland has made generous answer to
the appeal of the oil soldiers il the Vets-
rams Home at Yountvile for reading
matter. The appeal was printed in the
columns of the Enquirer, in which it was
also announced that its office could be
used as depot. where ali donations of
books would be received. AS a rcsut of
the appeal. Major Z. w. Woodward. vice.

home twenty eases n( books Oi all desciir-
ttons. The contents OF the cases weighed
