ALAMEDA.

The case OF Andrew McNamee, charged
with selling liquor to minors, came up yes
terday afternoon in the Justice court on a
hearing of the defendants demurrer to the
complaint. The demurrer was based on
the ground that the complaint does not
state sufficient facts to constitute cause of
action. Attorney Baker further holds that
the law under which the complaint was
made is unconstitutional, in that il pro-
WOES lot no maximum punishment
The statute, after making the offense a.
misdemeanor, fixes the penalty at fine
not less than 500 or more than $500. and
in default imprisonment in the Comfy
Jail for period of not less than 100 DAYS.
The demurrer was sustained and the case
dismissed.
Mrs. Sanford, who represents the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
has sworn to two new complaints, in which
Men aimee is charged with having sold in
toxicating liquor to minors named Ed
Thorning and Winfield Kearney. These
com plants are brought under the old law
of 1872, which, after making the offense a
misdemeanor, fixes punishment at fine
of $500, and in default of payment fixes
the term of Imprisonment in the County
Jail not to exceed three months. Mrs.
Sanford will prosecute McNamee to the
full extent of the law, with the object of
closing the Objectionable resort.

SAN FRANCISCO HARD HIT.

Oakland Wheelmen Refuse to Parade
Here Because the Streets Are Bad.
The California associated cycling clubs
will not ride in the Fourth Of July parade
in San Francisco on account of their poor
opinion of the condition of the citv's
thoroughfares.
The association had meeting last even
ing at the Reliance Club rooms in Oakland.
Nearly all the clubs belonging to the
organization were present. An invitation
was read from Secretary Foster of the San
Francisco Fourth of July committee asking
the association to join in the Fourth of
July parade to be held there. The invita-
ton was unanimously refused.
Len D. Owens in making the motion for
refusal said: Gentlemen, I move you that
the secretary be instructed to reply to tho
honorable gentlemen that we refuse the
invitation not because we are uppatriotic,
but because the streets are positively unfit
for us to ride on, and furthermore say that
We shall accept no further invitation until
the streets are got into passable
condition"
In seconding the motion a member said
that the communication to the committee
should be made particularly strong so as to
leave no doubt in the minus of those who
rendered the invitations as to the feelings
of the wheelmen regarding San Francisco

THE ANTI-MATRIMONY CLUB.
1t Started Out BraveIy, but Did Not
Last.

1t Started Out Bravely, but Did Not
Last.
Ten years ago there existed in Chicago a
club of unmarried men, who were united
with the sole object of avoiding matrimony
as long as possible. The club was an in
formal affair. 1t consisted of barely a
dozen members, and it met once week at
No. "a, think, Center avenue, on the west
side, for the purpose of frequently enthus-
ing its members in their efforts to remain
in a state of single blessedness.
When the meeting was called to order
the first thing usually done was to nomi-
nate chairman, and upon him devolved
the duties of examiner. He would select a
victim in turn and put to him this kind of
questions;
"Take your glass in your right hand.
questions put to you concerning your &C.
tons during the past week?'
81 ann
'Have you associated with any girls
since we last metz"
81 was compelled to take one to the
theater last Monday"
'sYou are fined round OF drinks"
The examiner would then put another
victim on the rack.
Have you kissed girl this week."
81 have not"
tHave you tried to?"
'.You-er-let me explain, please"
s'You are fined two rounds of drinks"
Next member. Have you taken or sent
any flowers or jewelry to any girl this
week ?"
"Not to girl. 1 sent some roses to a
married woman"
''Mr. Secretary, give him cigar. The
club will now sing, He's the Boy for Me. 7"
1t may be gathered from this that the
rules of the club were pretty strict.
Things ran on this way for year. At the
end of that time | got married myself and
went to Europe. When my wife and / re-
turned one of the first people we met was
Frank Gridley.
Elbows the club, Frank?" I asked.
TITS busted" he replied. "You see, the
boys got to be very artful in answering the
questions and they beat the examiner
every time. Then some of them fell in
love and were ashamed to own it,
"How about Mansfield2" 1 asked
Hes married"
"Why didn't he send US his wedding
cards?''
He says he did, He sent them to the
Hotel Prince d'Albert, Rue de Rivoi."
"What nonsense. He knew we were
stopping at Nine. Cecile's pension"
"Weli, he was afraid you might chaff,
you know"
whats become of Gruethn ?''
"He took up with North side girl He's
grown very fat and says he wouldn t
change his position for anything"
well, what became of LIE Clerque3'
Il don't want to say much against
Pete" replied Frank slowly. He may
have been driven to il"
".What do you mean? Did he commit
suicide?"
''Not much, but the week he was treas
urer and had charge Of the club funds
about 800 nearly-he fell in love with a
girl in Hyde Park and he eloped with both
the girl and the money. Come up to the
clubrooms. I'll show you the box"

"Come home and have dinner with US and
we'll hunt around and find you wife,

BA|L|FF OF JUDGE Low,
John O'COnnor Will No Longer
Occupy the Lucrative
Position.
The Judge Appoints His Own
Father-in-LaW to Fill the
Vacancy.

Ever since Police Court was estab-
lished John OConnor, Familiarity known as
"Fat jack" has been bailiff of the court.
For the past eight months his brother has
been representing him as bailiff, as his
time has been occupied in other pursuits
There was CONSERVATION among O'Con-
nor's political friends yesterday when it was
announced that Judge Low had dismissed
him from the position OF bailiff and had
appointed John e. Clark to fill the va
cancy.
Mr.. Clark is Judge Lows father-in-law
and he will begin the duties of his new
office tomorrow morning.
O'Connor's brother feels sore over his re-
moval, and did not hesitate to give express
sion to his feelings yesterday. He said
that if it had not been for him and his
brother Judge Low would not have been q
Police Judge, as it was largely through
their influence that fourth Police Court
was established, and Judge Low was made
to clearly understand by the push tina
O'Connor was to remain bailiff of the
court.
He has not only turned us down." said
O'Connor, "but also Burns, Crimmins and
all those who have supported him. Tt
wouldn't have been SO bad If he had waited
till after vacation, but after being eight
months bailiff of the court think was
entitled to the benefit of the vacation.
81 can control the delegates in my dis
trict and my brother has the control of two
districts. 1t will be our work from now on
to get even with Judge Low. He may get
the nomination at next election, but that
remains to be seen. If he gets the nomi-
nation l suppose there is chance for his
election; but we will see. We have
eighteen months yet to work in. and lots
can be done within that time. [ have been
twelve years in politics and have held
positions in the Mint and other places, so
I know something about how to work
things in politics.
"What do think about the Judge ap-
pointing his father-in-law2 Well, he can
appoint whoever he likes, suppose; but
don't think it looks well for him to put in
his father-in-law. At any rate, he should
have waited till vacation was over"

there is to be no ''rush," and it is curious
that only one local man applied for a claim,
the rest hailing from Edinburgh, Glasgow
and London. Operations were to have be-

for three months, each digger having a
claim of forty feet square. The expert.
ment will be watched with interest. for.
while the existence Of gold in the district
has been proved, doubts prevail as to the
quantity. 1t, was in 1869 that the metal
was first discovered in that district. A
native of the county who had spent a long

creelss on their backs, might be seen at the
diggings. The present Duke of Suther-

Council, stated that 'during 1862 70-71 the
goldfields were systematically worked,

some hundreds of residents in the county,

BERKELEY.

The Board of Town Trustees met last
Friday night
Town Attorney Hayne made a report
showing that the liquor license affairs at
the present time are in a bad condition
owing to the fact that, in his opinion, the
last liquor license ordinance passed by the
board is null and void. A committee was
appointed to investigate the matter and
report later.
A new ordinance, providing for the sale
or redemption of property upon which
taxes are delinquent, was read and passed
to print.
The bonds of Treasurer Squires, in the
sum of $4,000, Engineer Higgins, in the
sum of $1,000, and of Guy H. Chick, in the
sum OF $4,000, were accepted.
Bills to the amount of $1427 Sc were
favorably reported by the financial COM
mittee, but owing to the depleted condi-
ton of the treasury, no bills other than
those for salaries were ordered paid.
Loot of a Butcher-Shop.
The butcher-shop of G. M. Gropp, on
Dwight way, was robbed early yesterday
morning. Entrance was gained through a
hole made in the screen door. Two clocks
which had been hanging on the wall were
thrown upon the floor and completely de-
molished. Two straw hats, recently pur-
chased, were smashed beyond recognition.
The prime parts of the beeves and NUT
tons were cut out and carried away, and
the saws and knives bent so entirely out
of shape that they were rendered useless.
Mr.. Crop believes that former en-
ploye by the name of Brand is responsible
for the work, as on the day of his discharge
he threatened to come back and 'tget even"
A warrant was sworn out for the arrest OF
Brand and placed in the hands of Deputy
Marshal Kerns
Not more than six weeks ago two burg
lars entered the same shop through rear
window and opened the safe, but secured
only few cents.

A Lady Chosen President of
the Fourth of July
Celebration.
MRS. C. W. HOWARD DECLINES
p. J. Tormey viii Represent the
Whist Club at the Minneapolis
Congress-.

Oakland gave the new woman substan
tial recognition last evening, when the
committee having in charge the coming
Fourth of July celebration elected Mrs
Charles W. Howard president of the day
The committee, which is composed Of
the substantial business and professional
men OF the city, met at the Merchants
Exchange and was presided over by d. c.
Brown
When the question of naming a presi-
dent was taken up DIR. Mayor took the
floor and announced that it was high time
that the ladies were given a chance to show
what they could do as the executive head
of the celebration. He thought that lady
of recognized standing and ability could
give more time and attention and fill the
place better than many men of business,
who would be compelled at times to neg
Iect the celebration to look after their own
affairs.
This seemed TO strike the members OF
the committee favorably and o. NJ. Fisher
nominated Mrs. Howard. He spoke OF
her public spirit, patriotism and executive
ability and said that he could find among
the ladies of Oakland no one more fitted
for the duties which would devolYe upon
the office.
No other names were presented and Mrs.
Howard was declared unanimously elected
to the place.
Mrs Howard was not present at the
meeting and when committee appointed
for the purpose called upon her to notify
her of the honor she had been rendered
their hopes were crushed when she courte-
ously but firmly declined the Office.
She said that she did not care to court
the observation to which the occupancy OF
such position would necessarily subject
her and asked them to excuse her, express
ing at the same time the deepest interest IN
the celebration and pledging herself to dc
all in her power to make it success.
Another president will be chosen at the
next meeting.

of the celebration are as follows:

AN ERRATIC OFFICER.
q. P. Brundson Arrested on a Charge
of Stealing Bicycle.

OF stealing a Bicycle
U. P. Brundson, a night watchman at
the Courthouse, and nephew of Super
visor Pelouze, was arrested by Detectives
Holland and Shorey last evening on a
charge of grand larceny for stealing a
bicycle belonging to Frank Woodward, an
employe of e. c. Sessions.
Woodward was a iuryman on the Ben
nett case, and left his wheel in Tax-Collee-
tor Barber's Office while in court When
the jury brought in its verdict the office
was locked, and Woodward could not get
his wheel.
The next day was Memorial day, and the
Office was closed. When the place was
opened on Thursday last the wheel was
missing. Yesterday Brundson was seen
riding a wheel, and as he was not in the
habit of cycling it was suspected that he
knew something about the missing bicycle
His home at Nineteenth street and San
Pablo avenue was searched, and the miss
ing wheel, with the number defaced and
other alterations made, was found in the
house.
Brundson claimed to have bought the
bicycle for $34, but refused to say from
whom.
The prisoner, who is also a Deputy
Sheriff appointed at the instance of the
Board of Supervisors, is considered to be
somewhat cratic, About year ago.
while acting as Waterman at the Court
house, he fired several shots In the hall.
claiming that he had been attacked bv
robbers. No trace of thieves was ever
found, and it is believed that he made the
noise with his pistol to show that he was
on deck at time when his removal from
his position was being talked of
