attorney and officers formal notice of a
motion 10 remove Receiver Frost. q
The motion was accompanied by a
lengthy statement of the grounds on which
the court will be asked TO Gust him.
Among the reasons given are that the
facts did not justify the appointment of a
receiver and that if one we're appointed
Frost, as an interested party, was dis
qualified from serving in that capacity.
Amoug the more pointed allegations is
The following:
Because Alice Longfellow (plaintiff in
the suit in which the receiver was ap-
pointed) and the Riverside Water Company
unnecessarily and without proper or legal
cause cOnspired and agreed together to
have the property of the Riverside Water
Company placed in the hands of re-
ceiver."
Notice is also given that pending hear
ing on the motion, which Is set for the oath
inst. the testimony of Receiver Frost will
be taken.
1t is alleged that prior to Mrs Long

him appointed receiver, and it IS proposed
TO show this fact by his own statement

MARKHAM ON GUNsT.
Really He Does Not See What the
Row Is All About.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10.-GOvernor Mark
hams atten ton was directed this morning
to the public upheaval that his appoint
ment of Nose GuBst as Police Commits
sioner was causing in that city, but the
volcanic action did not In the least disturb
the Governor. He soaced himself by the
remark that the only signs Of dissatisfac-
ton in the matter he saw in the news
papers and said that he had not received
any official notice of 1t, nor had he heard
any expressions Of disapproval here.
When it was mentioned that Sacramento
was not likely to concern itself over the
Affections, by whomsoever placed, upon
San Francisco, be replied simply that
Colonel Burns. who held the Office. came
to him and resigned, and at the same time
suggested the name of his successor. AS
one who voluntarily gave I'D the office his
wishes in regard to who should take his
place were entitled to respect.

the Governor. "but had heard of him very
frequently as one of San Franchises most
en- terprisiDg and energetic business men,
and / was told that he would be good
man for the place. have been told since
by a leading citizen that he would make
one of the best Commissioners the city
ever had" The Governor declined to
mention the leading citizens name.
did you not know that his ENTERPRISE is
directed in those lines that il is the prin-
cipal business Of the police to watch and
suppress?" was asked.
81 did not" replied the Governor. "In
any case" he said, 81 don't suppose /
could have appointed any man who would
not have been objected to by some."
Governor Budd declines to discuss the
appointment of Nose Gunst as Police
Commissioner for san Francisco and the
uprising in that city against the new
official or in any way to criticize the ac-
tiuns of the man whom he is to succeed in
Office at noon tomorrow, but he does OF
hesitate 10 discuss the Police Commission
in general way.
THE Governor should not have the
right to appoint Police Commissioners tor
San Francisco" said Budd. "What rig hit
have We to appoint Police Commission
for San Francisco any more than for
Stockton? The law is faulty. 1t should
be amended. The Mayor should appoint
the Police Commissioners. The right of
self-government should not be taken from
the cities. The Legislature should amend
the law"

enactment would have upon the presen t

vided for the appointment of such officers

gresham James McLachlan and Judge
Clark of the Superior Court were at once
informed of the fact, and they called upon
Mr., Willard at his home and administered
the oath of office. A report from Sacrs-

LAW OF THE CHURCH.
PRONUNCIATION of the Order Against
Certain Societies.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 10.-Archbishop Elder
to-day promulgated the order against Odd
Fellows. Knights ofa Pythias and Sons of
Temperance, and accompanied the text
of the order with a statement of reasons
why good Catholics should obey. The
fact that tie reasons for the order are not
understood. he says. Is no excuse for dis
obedience any more than 1t is for violation
of civil law when the reason for the enact
ment is lot understood. Just as the State
must enforce its laws for the preservation
of order. so must the church enforce such
rules as are essential for the welfare of
souls. He went on, however. to state
some Of the reasons In this case. One was
that to belong to these orders made Cath
olics more tolerant of Freemasonry. which
had long been declared inimical TO the
church. Another was that in the case of
the knights of Pythias, pagan is selected
10 be treated as a saint.
