sLURRED JUDGE MURPHY.
Reel Terry Has to Retract a Statement
Made in Court.

ANCc1 10 u Statement
Made in Court.
During the progress of the Boogar trial
this morning Attorney Reel B. Terry got
into little conflict with Judge Prick re-
garding the effect of the press on Judge
Murphy OF San Francisco. 1.-The power OF
the press in the State of California" he
said, sis enormous. There is no politician
who does not fear it. Some of the Judges
OF the court in this State are afraid of it.
Only few days ago you saw in the Dur
rant case q female reporter go on the
stand and refuse to testify. She was
ordered by the court and she still refused.
The Judge found her guilty OF contempt,
but did not send her to jail. He took the
question under Amusement ana the next
day came into court and crawtished."
e. This statement angered Judge Prick
who SAID IN q determined manner: NO
reflection Of that kind will be allowed in
any Superior Court in this State and will
sir, to say any thing of that kind that will
reflect upon the Superior Judge OF this
State"
Il won't say another word on the SUD-
ject, your Honor" said Terry.
Il don't want you 10 say any more,
said Judge Frick.
''Well, I'll take it all back" said Terry,
but as a parting shot he said: Yes, you
can give me the press of Oakland and you
can have the bar of Oakland. You can
have cards and spades, too, and you won [
have a showdown"
Attorney Brearty made the opening ar
gument for the defense and was followed by
George 4. Knight. He reviewed the case
at length and made an eloquent effort on
behalf OF the defendant. His argument
lasted three hours. The case will probably
be given to the jury by noon tomorrow.
The court decided 10 hold n night ses-
sion. and the jury was charged at 9 o clock,
after which they retired. Up to midnight
they had not returned with verdict.
Ran the First Local.
James BatcheIder, known to every early
resident of Oakland as ''Old Batch" died
Tuesday, and this morning the services
over his remains were held at Masonic
Temp as the deceased was one OF the
oldest mem bers OF the lodge. Batchelder
was the man who ran the first locomotive
on Seventh street, and from 1868 TO 1888 he
never lost day and never had an accident.
The deceased was native OF New Hamp-
shire, aged 81 years. He was unmarried.
The remains were placed in the vault at
Mountain View to await word from his
relatives in the East.
4 Temporary Pastor.
The First Congregational Church has in
vited the Rev. S. NJ. Freeland of Seattle to
occupy its pulpit while they decide upon
permanent pastor. Mr.. Freeland is of
the evangelical school and a graduate of
Yale. His pulpit utterances are said to be
OF high order, but studiousy devoid of
sensationalism. He will preach morning
and evening next Sunday.
A Contractors Failure.
B. K. Allen, contractor and builder,
who has been in business in Oakland eight
years, was adiudged insolvent by Judge
Ogden to-day. Aliens debts amount to
$4,000, and with the exception of a note for
$500, secured by mortgage on his home,
there are no assets.

OAKLAND'S LEVY FIXED.
MAYOR DAVE HAS APPROVED THE
MEASURE AT THE DOLLAR
LIMIT.
HIS REMARKS ON THE ACTIONS OF
THE CITY COUNCIL WERE
POINTED.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL, |


9O8 Broad way, Oct. "a.
After two months of political maneuver-
ing tax levy of 81 was approved by the
Mayor tonight. AT last nights meeting
two of the Mayors supporters surprised
everyb body by voting with the Non-Parti-
sans. 1t was then thought that as the
power of the veto was broken. the Nom
Partisars could push through their ordi-
nance calling for 81 Is. The Mayor had
said that if the ordinance fixing 81 was
altered in any particular he would
veto it, and the Council explicitly trusted
that he would keep his word. Up to the
last minute the veto was expected, and the
moment it arrived the 81 Is ordinance
would have been passed over the veto
placed upon it several wee ks ago.
BY approving the ordinance Mayor
Davle has preserved the dollar limit, but
as the Council altered his appropriate ons,
he has not to shoulder the responsibility
OF any detclt that may occur, and he has
prevented the passing of the high levy.
His message contains some pungeDt para
graphs. He said:
Matters in relation to the manner in
which the Finance Committee of your
honorable body has conducted its investi-
cations OF the needs of the several depart
ments IN making the tax levy of 81 Is have
peen OF such an unbusinesslike character
mat further comments at this time are
unnecessary. The tax levy ordinance
submitted to me from your honorable
pody is not, to my judgment, for the
pest interests of the city. 1t takes
a large sum from the street-lght fund and
1t seems, for the sole purpose of rendering
the SAID fund insufficient for its proper
needs, thus in the near future throwing
the city in darkness, for the sole purpose
OF creating opinion against my admins
tratlon: In doing this you manifest an IN
excusable indifference to the clause of the
Federal constitution which prohibits Con-
gress from passing laws impairing the OBJ

and empty shells, pinchers, plyers,
bolts, strap and gate hinges,
monkey and buggy wrenches, hooks
and staples, boys iron wagons, Wes-
tern square washing machines, bar
rel churns, clothes wringers, in fact
have most everything in the hard
ware, tinware and woodenware line.
And while other parties in Butler
handling hardware, have threatened
the wholesale hardware house for
selling US goods, claiming we are
demoralizing the prices on hardware
by selling it at almost cost to draw
trade for grocery business, We will
say to the farmers, that we are not
only selling hardware at almost cost
to draw the trade for our groceries,
but We are also selling groceries at
almost cost to draw trade for our
hardware. To tell you the truth,
we are selling everything we carry
at the lowest possible price in order
to draw trade to our store, for any.
thing we carry in stock.
We have just gotten in over one
hundred of the finest vase and ban-
quet lamps ever seen in this county,
and we ale selling them at just half
what we sold the common lamps for
last year. We have sold from 5 to
6 lamps every day since we got
them in, and at that rate they will
not last long; so we advise all parties
wanting a nice lamp for little
money, to come before they are ali
picked over, for we cannot duplicate
these prices again this year, as we
contracted for these lamps from the
factory last spring before they were
made.
In order to further reduce our
stock of decorated porcelain dinner
sets we will again give zoe off on the
dollar until the 18th of November, as
we received notice that our holiday
goods would not be here before that
time. Now, this will be the last re-
duction of this kind we can possibly
make you this year, so if you can use
a set, buy it now. And we want to
say again in regard to our tinware,
that we are selling more tinware than
any house in Butler, and il you want
the best goods at the lowest price, be
sure to come to us. Our salt is the
best steamed, warranted not to hard
en-; all new, clean barrels, dry and in
our warehouse. We want to say in
justification to ourselves, that in
some way our coffee firm sent us a
barrel of coffee that was not our Java
Blend, and the clerks opened and sold
part of it before we noticed the mis-
take, and while we have not had any
complaints of it, still We know it is
not first class and if any Of our Gus
toners have it on hands please re-
turn it to us and get the best in it's
place, and we will promise to be
more watchful in tho future, for this
brand Of coffee we propose to keep
up to the top standard.
We are highly pleased with our
trade and the way the people of
Bates county are treating us, and we
promise you to do everything in our
power to furnish you the best goods
at the lowest prices, and give you
the highest possible price We can for
your produce. Thanking you for
past favors, we are Yours Truly,

A performance was in pro
gress in the great opera house,
which seats upward of 1000
persons, when the first shock
was felt. A great rambling was
heard and the structure seemed
to sway and rocks to It's found
ations. People jumped from
their seats and a great outcry
ensued, the people being in a
state OF utmost panic. Many
fled from the thealer with the
intention to make for open
space. The more plucky, how
ever, remained, and assuring
each other that the danger was
passed resumed their seats and
the performance was continued.
1t was still In progress when
the second and severer shock
was felt, and the whole au-
dience fled to the narrow
streets.

There was a babel of different
