THE COUNTY CLERKS DEPUTIES.
The Auditor Asked to withhold Their
Salary Warrants.

Salary Warrants.
Auditor Broderick yesterday received a
letter from Attorney Otto tum SUDDEN, in
which the latter sets up the remarkable
claim that County Clerk Curry has no
right to employ deputies under the law,
and the Board of Supervisors no power to
authorize their compensation. In his
communication he says: ''Permit me to
call your attention to the fact that G.. F.
Curry, County Clerk, is now demanding
and collecting fees according to the
schedule contained in section 169 of the
county government act.
The writer goes on to state that the law
is general one, and as such provides for
the appointment of certain officers in all
counties, but not for the appointment of
deputies. Neither does it provide for COM
pensation to deputies in counties of the
first class, but on the contrary it does pro-
vide specifically that the salary of the
County Clerk shall be in full payment of
all services rendered by him, including
those of his deputies and assistants. He is
to pay his deputies out of the salary pro-
vided for him, and that is fixed by the act
at $4,000. Therefore, concludes Otto tum
SUDDEN, the present force of the County
Clerks Office is not entitled to pay out of
the county funds, and the Auditor is not
authorized to audit demands of that kind.
The claim is also made that the Board of
Supervisors has no authority to allow the
appointment of deputies.
Auditor Broderick does not think there
is anything in the lawyers argument. The
county government act divides the coun-
ties into fifty-three classes. The officers
and deputies are mentioned and their COM
pensation specifically fixed by the act for
all classes except that of the first, which is
San Francisco. In the act, however, is a
clause which Attorney tum SUDDEN forgot
to read and which is as follows: Section
1853. In counties of the first class the officers
shall receive as compensation for the SER
vices required of them by law, or by virtue
of their Office, the salaries fixed by law"
relating to the County Clerks office and it's
deputies are still in force. These provide
for the appointment of deputies and fix
their CONDENSATION.

m1ttee of the Council last night and made
an lmpassioned address, protesting against
the passage of the ordinance forbidding
his company to haul coal through the
streets. He spoke of the lack OF enterprise
OF Oakland officials in trying to hamper
move his capital to the other side OF the
bay If his way should continue to be
blocked by adverse legislation. Mr..
Sanders said his road had done more to
BRING outside trade to Oakland than any
other enterprise ever inaugurated and he
did not consider this ordinance treated
MN fairly. After Mr.. Sanders finished
Mr. Manuel protested that the Council was
ever ready to reach out helping hand to
any enterprise. The committee laid the
ordinance on the table.
A Verdict of Insanity.
An inquest was held by Coroner Baldwin
yesterday on the remains OF Mrs. Dr..
Loughridge of Berkeley, wife of the uni
versity professor, who died from the effects
OF carbolic acid poisoning yesterday.
After hearing the testimony of the hus-
band and several witnesses who were well
acquainted with the deceased, the jury rem
dered verdict that she came to her death
by means OF carbolic acid administered by
herself while temporarily insane.
No Reception to Senator Perkins.
At the request of United States Senator
Perkins the Oakland committee which con-
templated giving reception to him have
concluded to abandon the idea. The Sena-
tor expressed the wish that his friends
would not put themselves to the trouble,
saying, that he would prefer to meet them
individually. He intends leaving early
next week for Washington.
Electric Car Accident.
An electric car on the cemetery line
jumped the track near the Fabiola Hospi-
tai yesterday afternoon, and Mrs. G. Rau
OF l214 Chestnut street was injured. Two
children, who accompanied her, were
thrown from the car, but escaped unhurt.
A New Secret Society.

ALAMEDA.

The Good Government Club, political
organization that will no doubt cut quite
figure in the coming municipal election,
held meeting last night. Invitations
were sent out to six residents in each of
the nine precincts and were responded to
generally. The club will hold big mass
meeting in the near future.
FL. Fletter, who succeeded Joe Lanktree
on the Republican County Central Com
mittee, is doomed by his friends for mem
Der of the Board of Trustees, and little
doubt is entertained that he will get the
clubs Endorsement. There is no doubt
whatever but that Joseph f. Forderer,
the present chairman of the Board of
Trustees, will be a candidate. His friends
point to his record on the board with
pride: He has been leader in all matters
of public improvement.
There is going to be hot four-cornered
fight for the nomination for City Treas
urer. The candidates are E. Minor Smith,
who was recently appointed to the office;
ex-City Trustee Charles S. Neal, Colonel
Roscoe Wheeler, who was the recent
chairman of the Committee of Safety, and
William Highly, the last-named represent
ing the younger element.
will try to get the Non-Partisan nomina-
ton. Justice Swasey and ex-Justice Innes
are both mentioned also.
Prominent Contractor Injured.
A. R. Denke one of the most prominent
citizens of the West End, had his spine
severely injured yesterday morning in
being thrown out of his buggy. His
spirited horse SHE'D on Central avenue at
building being moved on that thorough
fare and collided with another buggy,
with the above result. As he is quite
heavy man it is surprising that something
more serious did not occur.

Harry Troy Causes Scare on Geary
and Larkin Streets.

Harry Troy Causes Scare on Geary
and. Larkin Streets.
There was an exciting time at the corner
of Geary and Larkin streets yesterday
morning. A man named Harry Troy, who
was considerably under the influence OF
liquor, was brandishing large cheese
knife and attempting to close IN COMBAT
with A. Gourdon, a plumber at 8O8 Larkln
street. An expressman and several other
men rushed to Gourdon's assistance and
took the knife from Troy. :,
Gourdon said he was standing at the
door of his store when Troy went up, TO
him and called him vile name. Gourdon
struck him in the face and Troy ran into
the corner grocery, seized a cheeseknlfe
that was lying on the counter and at
tempted to plunge it into Gourdon.
After Troy was disarmed he went away,
but returned after the crowd had dis
persed and broke one of the windows in
Gourdon's store. Gourdon swore out 9
warrant for his arrest on the charge OF
malicious mischief.
The more serious charge of assault to
murder appears to have been overlooked
by the officers of the law.

ago appointed committee to investigate

Must Pay the Railroad for Meals Eateu
During the Strike.

The voice of discomfort resounds through
the soldiers quarters at the Preside, and
the Southern Pacific is the cause of the
clamor. While the troops were protecting
the railroads property last summer some
of them were detailed to guard trains
going out of Sacramento. They did not
have time to prepare their meals while on
the road and were invited by Superin-
tendent Wells to eat at the company's
restaurants.
When the cruel war was over the
thrifty company sent bill to Uncle Sam
for the meals eaten by the men, but the
Government denied all responsibility and
declared that those who had done the
eating should do the paying.
The men refused to pay and the COM
pany declared that it would sue the
Government, so Lieutenant CORN was de-
tailed to investigate the matter and tell
the commanding officer that should the
railroads demand be just payment would
have to be made out of the funds of the
troop. The railroad claims about $4,000
for these meals.

We know of but one community in the world
where dyspepsia is practically unknown. and
that is the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y.
These good people have been studying the
subject of digestion for more than q hundred
years, and that they understand it pretty
thoroughly. is evidenced in the foregoing fact.
Their Digestive Cordial is the safest and best
remedy in cases OF indigestion that we know
druggists for the trifiing sum of 10 cents.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies the
system with food already digcsted, and at the
same time aids the digestion of other foods.
1t will almost instantly relieve the ordinary
symptoms of indigestion, and no sufferer need
to be told what these are.
