LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Evangelist Henry VarIey De-
liverS a Sermon on Sim
fulneSS.
Some Talk of Moving the Postoffice
to the City Hall After Mo-
yember 1.

| Rev. Henry Marley delivered an address
of two hours duration at Linderman Opera
! house yesterday afternoon to men only.
Mr.. Marley was particularly severe upon
San Francisco, and placed America second
to France in immortality. He made a
strong plea to the young men to walk the
straight and narrow path of virtue and
avoid reading the columns of crime and sin
as reported in the big papers and pay
more attention to their Bibles.
At 8 o'clock, in the same hall, Union
services were resumed. Mr.. Varley will
speak on the Second Coming of Christ"
this afternoon at the Congregational
Church and on Tuesday evening will close
his series of lectures in this city. On Sun
day Mr.. Marley will commence service to
continue one week at Metropolitan Temple
in San Francisco. On the 10Th inst he will
terminate his visit for the present in this
country and return to Melbourne, Aus
tralia. Evangelist Marley says he has
hopes of returning to the United States in
the near future, accompanied by his wife
and one of his sons, to renew his fight
against waywardness and sinfulness.
Larger Quarters Demanded.
The lease of the premises occupied by
the postoffice in this city will expire on
November /. The present lease is for five
years and the new one will be for similar
term. 1t is reported that inspectors con-
nected with the postal department will
visit Alameda this week on business re-
lating to the securing of new lease. A
movement is on foot to move the postoffice
to the New City Hall, in the quarters in
tended for the free library. City ATTORNEY
Taylor has given an opinion that the
Trustees can lease quarters in a public
building for other than mum ;ipai pur-
poses. The present Office is badly ar
ranged and no attention has been paid to
convenience as to room. The postoffice
inspectors will invite proposals for loca-
ton.
Postmaster Stoddard is in favor of a
change from the present quarters and has

Making Idols.

A little unnecessary excitement has
been aroused lately by the discovery that
some Birmingham metal manufacturers
have been making idols to be worshiped
by the heather in India. They probably
executed orders for which they were we'll
paid. and it was hardly their business to
stipulate that their wares should be used
for ornament only. Besides, before we
are too hard on the heather, we should re-
member that if their idols of gold and sill
yer were melted down and sent to the mint
they would reappear disguised as coin of
the realm and good many Christians
would worship them then.-Iron Age.

The opposing teams were the Alamedas

The Alamedas went in first and, thanks
to the excellent batting of Morey, Sloman
and their captain, E. Hood, put up the
creditable total of 1853 runs.
This ought not to have been an intimi-
dating amount for the Pacifics to fight
against, but nervousness Tor i'll lucky was

disposed of for "a runs, leaving the cup

A Close Call.

A terrible accident, narrowing in
its details, occurred at the Goetz har-
ness factory in this place on Thursday
morning last about 7 o'clock. A
young boy by the name of Glenn, aged
about Is years, an employee, went to
the cellar with bag Of waste rags to
empty into a large box kept there for
that purpose. In dumping the rags
out, according to his version Of the
story, the bag caught into some shaft
ing, over his head, drawing him along
with it, and whirling him at very
rapid speed around it. The shafting
has only about two and a-half feet
play between the ceiling of the cellar
and a stone wall, and in making the
revolution in this short space be was
terribly bruised and otherwise injured.
His right arm was broken in two
places and the right leg broken above
the knee. One shoe was torn entirely
off and it is feared internal injuries
were received. Mr.. A. c. Glaise, the
engineer, informs us that the engine
was running at low speed, having
Just started up for the day work, but
for this the Supposition is that he
would have been killed outright. Drs.
Neil and Perry rendered surgical at
tention. Young Glenn, we understand,
has been in the habit of going into the
cellar and taking hold of the shaftingr
and has been repeatedly warned of the
seriousness of the undertaking.
