Hi STRUCK ANDY CLUNIE.
Sensational End to l. Sternberg's
Second Trial.
When a Verdict Of Guilty Was Rendered
He Assaulted the Lawyer Who
Prosecuted Him.

For the second time Louis Sternberg has
been convicted of a charge of felony for
violation of the purity of election laws,
and he expressed his disapproval of the
verdict of the jury by hitting Andy
Clunie, who prosecuted the last charge, on
the temple. He would have followed this
up with more of the same kind had not the
bailiff of the court seized his shoulders and
held him.
The case went to the jury about o'clock
in the afternoon, after a short charge by
Judge Wallace and brief arguments by
counsel for either side. Attorney Cross,
who appeared for Sternberg, made the
point raised in all similar trials, that the
evidence relied on by the prosecution was
given by accomplices and therefore the
defendant could not be convicted upon it.
This point had already been passed upon
in the trial of Louis Cohen, and also in
Sternberg's first trial, it being then decided
by the verdicts of the juries that the wit
nesses were not all accomplices.
Mr.. Cross also raised the point that
Sternberg could not be convicted because
he was to give testimony in the Stilwell-
Evans case, and under the purity of cleo
ton laws he should have immunity from
punishment. The point was set aside by
Judge Wallace, however.
The jury was not out over ten minutes.
When the jury came back to court, the
room was crowded, as no one expected a
long wait for the jury, and so the idlers
stayed in court Clunie was standing be-
hind the lawyers table, with his back
parity turned to Sternberg.
When the jury rendered its verdict, Mr..
Cross requested that they be polled, and
just as the last Juror announced that his
verdict was guilty, Sternberg sprang from
his seat, and, with muttered oath, struck
Clunie just in front of his ear. Sternberg
was preparing for another blow when the
bailiff stopped him. No notice was taken
of the affair, and it was all over in mo-
ment. Sternberg will be sentenced next

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

a Lady Boarder and Her Landlady at
Loggerheads.
The dispute between Mrs L. Sanford of
the Devonshire, TBS Pine street, and Mrs.
M. a. Wilson, one of her recent boarders,
was yesterday transferred from Judge
Lows court to the Justices Court.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughter boarded
at the Devonshire but about two weeks
ago they decided to leave. They owed a
weeks board, and Mrs. Wilson rendered
the amount, SIS, which Mrs. Sandford de-
cllned to take. She refused to allow them
to remove their boxes unless she was paid
for months board, on the ground that
they were monthly boarders.
Mrs. Wilson week ago last Monday OBJ
tanned a search warrant from Judge Low
for her boxes, and the following day, act
ing under instructions of the Judge, Mrs.
Wilson deposited the $1S with him and he
gave her an order for her boxes, which she
removed to another house, where she and
her daughter are now boarding.
All last week the Judge listened to hosts
of witnesses who gave their opinions as to
what was the rule in fashionable boarding
houses. He got so mixed up with the con-
flicting opinions that yesterday he decided
that the Justices Court was the proper
place for the case and handed the SIS to
the clerk of one of the courts.
Mrs. Sandford's husband had Mrs. Will
son arrested last Wednesday for disturbing
the peace. The case came before Judge
Conlan yesterday and was continued till
next TueSdaV

THE MAYOR Up ALOFT.
He Takes a Trip on the City
Hall Roof.
THROUGH DARK LABYRINTHS.
Fire Marshal TOWe Discovers a Rocket
Partly Burned.
NIGHT HAVE DESTROYED THE HALL.
The Mayor in Favor Of Asking the LegiS-
lature for New Levy for a
Permanent Roof.

Mayor Sutro made his first trip on the
roof of the new City Hall yesterday, the
journey extending under all temporary
rafters up to the top of the dome, now in
process of construction. Fire Marshal
Towe and City and County Attorney Cres-
well accompanied his Honor, while Archi-
tect Shea acted as guide.
The trip first led through the dark pas
sages constituting the attic, interspersed
with a thousand iron pipes and huge VEN
tilators. The passageway consisted of a
few planks, the main body of the floor
being made up of laths and plastering. To
have slipped on these would have pIecipi-
tated one below on the third floor, as the
plaster would have given way. Mayor
Sutro picked his way like one accustomed
to travel on pieces of scantling, and in
spected every portion of the temporary
roof.
The journey had not proceeded very far
when Fire Marshal Towe's foot struck
against something in the dark. Picking
it up he held it to the light and found it to
be part of skyrocket.
"See" he exclaimed, ''this fell through
one of the openings, and if it had burned
near the wooden rafters it would have set
the roof on fire." The Fire Marshal took
possession of the rocket and will hang it
up IN his Office with an appropriate inscrip-
ton.
Architect Shea led the party through all
the intricate windings, showing the Mayor
all the temporary wooden structures built
to support the corrugated iron roof. The
heat and dust were sitting.
City and County Attorney Creswell was
prepared for the occasion, having on
negligee shirt and an alpine walkingstick.
He found no difficulty in climbing ladders
and crossing thin planks. He frequently
handed the end of his cane to the Mayor
to hold as a support while traversing a
piece of scantGng. The Mayors white hat,
brushing against the sooty rafters, was
ruined on the journey, and his broadcloth
suit was transformed into gray by falling
pieces Of plaster and cement. His Honor's
hands, in grabbing hold of pipes to pre-
vent himself from falling, were covered
with rust and dirt as if he had plunged
them in an ash barrel
After the tour of inspection Mayor Sutro
said he was glad he had taken the trip as
he could see for himself the requirements
of the hall in the way of its completion.
"The discovery l made" he said, sis
that the walls should be carried up, which
will give eleven feet rise on the sides.
From these points we construct the per-
! manent roof, which will give us another
story without any additional cost. The
mansard roof would cost 81 100000. A
permanent roof as designed by the archi-
tect will only cost $500, 600, but it can be
built on such lines as will practically give
US another story without any additional
cost"
The City Hall Commissioners will meet
this morning and take some action in the
way of preparing a bill to be submitted to
the Legislature asking for another levy to
complete the hall on the lines mentioned.

the San Francisco business men and capitalists
in the proposed building of competing road
through the San Joaquin Valley with the
utmost satisfaction, hoping that the long
looked-for relief in the moving of the products
of this valley to market will at last be real
lied.
Believing that the promoters of this proposed
road will exercise the best Judgment in the
selection of a route for said road and make
thorough investigation of all sections of this
county before deciding on the line of route to
be adopted, as the success of this road to its
promoters financially and as benefit to this
great valley depends in measure in its loca-
ton being such that it will not only draw the
traffic from the valley and benefit the grain
and fruit growers, but be so located that it will
secure the traffic of the mining counties and
secure not only the mining interests, but the
cattle and wool raisers' freight as well.
And, to accomplish this object we would call
the attention of the directors of this road to
the policy of running this road direct from
Stockton to Oakdale, across the Stockton and
MERGED road of the Southern Pacific at this point,
thence running on the east side of the valley
to the point of destination, thereby obtaining
all the mining counties traffic. besides running
through as rich and prosperous a piece of the
San Joaquin valley as can be selected.
A thorough investigation OF this statement
will prove beyond doubt these facts aS stated.
The projectors of this proposed road should
not overlook this fact-that the traffic that
would be derived from these mining counties
adjacent to the San Joaquin valley will in
crease in value each year, and unless this line
of route is selected, there is no probability of
obtaining it.
We extend an invitation to the directors of
this company, as soon as organized, to visit
Oakdale end investigate for themselves. Should
this line be selected by the directors of the
proposed new road the citizens of Oakdale and
the farmers and orchardists of this section will
do all in their power to advance the interests
of the new road and donate necessary ground
for depot. A. S. EMERY Chairman.

In the lists already published the name
of Mrs. Hannah Sachs inadvertently crept
in, while the subscription of $4,000 should
have been credited to her son. Sanford

of the newspapers several of them simply

The members of the committee are quite
confident that the total amount required
before incorporation will be secured by the
expiration of the week. The enthusiasm
of w. f. Whittier on this point has led
him to solemnly aver that he will not eat
his dinner on Saturday until the total
81, 000, 900 is on the books-at least Thomas
Magee makes the assertion, and Mr.. Magee
is usually pretty accurate in anything that
he says and does.
Indications of an aroused public senti-
ment in the interior still continue to pour
in upon the committee. and if the new road
were to touch all the localities which seek
to secure recognition it would necessarily
involve the construction of many branches.

Was in Question.

The Title to the Buena Vista Ranch
Was in Question.
The sensational suit commenced in the
United States Circuit Court some months
ago by John A. Barclay of London, Eng
land, and Gothold Frankel of New York
against Henry Miller, the cattle king, was
dismissed yesterday for want of prosecu-
ton. The complaint charges Miller with
fraudulent intention to deceive the heirs of
the late Charles Lux as to the worth of
some property belonging to the firm of
Miller & Lux. 1t also charged Miller with
putting the plaintiffs to heavy expense in
investigating the value of the property,
which Miller falsely represented he was
willing to sell at low figure. The plain
tiffs made an agreement with Miller to
purchase the Buena Vista ranch OF 10000
acres, situated in Kern, Tulare and San
Luis Obispo counties, for 100000. Mil
Ter, according to the complaint, violated
his agreement. The plaintiffs asked that
the court declare them to be the owners of
the land.

DISAPPOINTED FOOTPADS.
James Reynolds Knocked Down by
Three Men.
Two Of Them Arrested The Trio Sus.
peeted Of Committing Another
Hold Up.

James Reynolds, who lives on Larkin
street, between Suffer and Post, was on his
way home on Monday morning about 2
o'clock, and when near Bush street on
Larkin three men attacked him. He was
knocked down by blow from a club and
his pockets searched for money or valu-
ables, but fortunately at the time he was
not possessed of either. Reynolds was
under the influence of liquor and the three
men considerably led him to his own
door and left him.
Policemen w. F. Brophy and J. Kelly
heard of the affair and about an hour later
arrested Phillip Broad and Thomas Wat
son. While taking them to the City Prison
one of them threw away gold chain and
a bunch of keys. The action was observed
by citizen, who told the officers, and they
yet be the means of proving another case
of robbery against the prisoners.
After Brophy and Kelly had taken the
two men to the City Prison they were ac-
costed by milkman. The milkman told
them he had spoken to man on Leaven-
worth street earlier in the morning. There
was blood on the mans face and he said
footpads. The officers believe the same
three who held up Reynolds did the job,
and that the watch-chain and keys be-
longed to the victim.
Yesterday Reynolds identified Broad
and Watson as two of his assailants, and
said the third man was known as
s'Toughy" Nolan. AS Reynolds mental
condition is impaired and there were no
witnesses to back up his statement, the
warrant clerks declined to issue warrant,
so Broad and Watson were booked on the
charge of vagrancy. The police are search
ing for "Toughy" Nolan, and they would
like to find an owner for the watch-chain
and KEYS.

The Second Regiment Artillery, n. G. c.,
has instituted an innovation in military
circles and will have a gymnasium of its
own. A committee consisting of Captain
T. ]. Cunningham, Battery E, Lieutenant
c. f. Seitz, Battery D, and Lieutenant H.
Cranston, Battery G, was appointed at the
last meeting of the regiment, with instruc-
tons to procure gymnasium paraphernalia
at an expense not exceeding $1,000. The
committee yesterday decided to procure
bids for an outfit, including bars, horses,
bucks, ladders, trapeze, rowing machines,
punching bags, boxing, fencing and broad.
sword outfits, a dozen or more patterns OF
chest weights, including q quarter-clrcie
chest weight, rings and shower baths.
The proposed gymnasium VIII pc the
ONLY one in the State owned by military
organization, and will be placed IN the
main drill hall. The gallery, which
extends entirely around the hail and IS
425 feet long, has been rounded at the
corners aud will be used as a running
track.
1t is expected that arrangements will be
made with the Market-street Railroad
Company for the heating of water for the

FUR-BEARING ANIMALS.

No Foundation for the Report That
They Are Being Exterminated.
"There is nothing in the assertion that a
rise in the fur market is caused by the ex-
termination of fur-bearing animals" said
l. Liebes of H. Liebes & Co., yesterday,
upon being shown dispatch from London,
which set forth that scarcity of animals by
reason of determination was the cause of
the increase of price of some skins at the
annual sale held there.
'Fur-bearing animals are no scarcer now
than they have been for several years past,
and this talk about the determination of
the animals is all nonsense. Every now
and then there is an unusual demand for
saws Saws 90 pai and when that occurs then that
particular kind brings a higher price. That

'We don't have to talk to people now, as

them" said Thos. Magee yesterday. This
has been the busiest day we have expert
enced since the collection of subscriptions
commenced. We have raised large
amounts, it is true, in a single day, but
they represented more actual labor by far
than the sum subscribed to-day. A good
many of these people came up voluntarily,

The Citizens of 0akdale Take Action
With a View Of Securing
the New Line.

Seven miles more of the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley road were fgura-
lively contributed yesterday, when 100000
was added to the subscription-lists of the
company. This includes the $4,000 do
mated by the Hibernia Bank, which was
not credited to the amount received the
day previous.
It is q noteworthy fact that this large
amount represents the subscriptions given
by less than $50 persons, and does not in
clude any amount less than $1,000. There
have been a number of smaller subscrip-
tons received-and which, it may be said,
were received gratefully-thath have not yet
been formally recognized. This is due to
feeling on the part of the committee that
it is desirable to secure all the large
amounts possible before considering the
smaller sums. of which there will doubt
less be large number.
Men who are interested in the success Of
the undertaking do not wait for the ap-
pearance of a committeeman with list
| these DAYS, but they are evidencing dis
| position to go up to the rooms where that
| body meets and place their names on the

And it is not only the men who do this
but the women also. The published lists
show the names of a number of public
spirited women, and there are doubles;

portunity to take block of stock.
