READY FOR HUNTINGTON.
All the Railroad Property in West
Oakland Being Daubed a
Fiery Red.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
408 Broadway Anonst Il

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, August ID.
A score of men armed with buckets of
red paint and big brushes started to-day to
decorate the miles of fences alongside the
moles at West Oakland ready for the ex-
pected visit of Mr.. G. P. Huntington.
Every year prior to Mr.. Huntington's an
nual inspection of his system the fences,
which have been plastered all over by the
peripatetic advertising fend, have been
covered with whitewash, which has lasted
till the magnate went East again.
This year a change has taken place.
The whitewash has been replaced by mix
ture OF fiery red color and everything is
being plastered over with it. There are
several miles of fence to be painted, and
when the local trains fly along the pier
the passenger will see on either side of
him thin red lines.
The ferry boats are loaded with all kinds
of advertisements, SO are the trains and
depots, and the outside of the sheds are
also rented to advertisers. These do not
prove offensive to Mr.. Huntington, but the
long rows of advertisements along the
piers that are added to, or re-painted each
day, have proved great annoyance to
him, and he has given strict orders that
before he visits the coast each year these
unseemly eyesores shall all be plotted out.
His orders have never been disobeyed re-
garding the advertisements that produced
no income.
In the spring of this year Mr.. Hunting
ton gave out as his intention that he was
about to visit the coast, but he changed his
mind and went to Europe, just about the
time the Federal Grand Jury returned an
indictment against him. At that time the
red paint came out. and a start was made
but after a few hundred yards had been
painted the president changed his mind,
and the roseate job ceased.

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL
SsS Broadway, August ID.
Inspector Lyon, who is in charge of the
new sewer being laid in North Oakland,
ran amuck this afternoon and had he been
less wild than he was a murder or two
might now be- charged up against him.
Lyon has charge OF about Z hundred men,
and for several days has been acting
aueerly, as the result OF over-indulgence
in liquor.
saloon and had few drinks. Without
giving any warning he gave vent to wild
whoop and drew his pistol. The bar
tender tried to quiet him, but Lyon was
not amenable to anything but main
strength. He fired at the bartender, but
his unsteady aim only succeeded in shat.
tering few glasses. Barbarias tried to get
from behind the counter, but the crazy in
spector followed him with his gun and
fred several shots. Finally some passers-by
were attracted by the shooting and went
into the saloon. They soon rushed out
when they saw Lyon firing into the ceiling
and walls, but their entrance had attracted
his attention sufficiently to give the bar
tender chance to grasp Ratchet and
leap over the counter.
Lyon was. apparently sensible enough to
fear the man with a hatchet, and he ran
into the street. The murderous inspector
was chased several blocks by the bartender
with the Ratchet, and occasionally fired a
shot behind him. When he had emptied
his pistol he was overpowered by friends
and carried off. Barbarias was pacified
and his damage will be made good, so he
will not have Lyon arrested but the resi-
dents who witnessed the exciting chase
think the case one for official investiga-
ton. The place where it happened is out
side the city limiIs of Oakland.

BITTER FEELINGS.
Another Row Over the Piedmont Cable
Company.


Company.
The troubles between Receiver Bishop
of the old Consolidated Piedmont Gable
Company and some of the original stock
holders, including H. P. Garthwaite and
Mrs. Phoebe Blair, had another airing in
court to-day. The hearing OF the contest
against the acceptance of the receivers
second annual account brought Mr.. Garth
waite to the stand as a witness for the con-
testants. Mr.. Garthwaite accused Mr.
Bishop of peculiar tricks with reference to
a franchise which had been obtained from
the Council for few blocks down Wash
ington street. He stated that Mr.. Bishop,
claimed that he had obtained this
franchise personally from the Council
in connection with Mr.. Heron When
other roads were given the privilege of
travelling over the road covered by the
franchise Mr.. Garthwaite affirmed that he
lad collected The money at Mr.. Bishops
request and had turned it over to him.
Mr.. Garthwaite was cross-examlned by
Attorney Wilson as to his personal rela-
lions with Mr.. Bishop. He acknowledged
that he had been discharged by that
gentleman, but limited that it was because
he had circulated a petition among the
bondhoIders asking for the removal of the
receiver.
''They did not take your advice and have
him removed?' queried the attorney.
Unfortunately not, was the sharp reply.
