ALAMEDA.

The Good Government Club made almost
a clean sweep in the municipal election.
Only three of its candidates failed to pass
under the wire in the lead, and all three of
those were for minor offices. Mrs. Chap
man was defeated for School Director, E.
Minor Smith for City Treasurer and Robert
McGown for City Recorder was also de-
feated.
The Good Government candidates for
City Trustees won easily, polling 3527
votes to 1904 for the Nom Partisans.
F. j. Fletter polled the highest vote for
City Trustee. The other two successful
candidates were ]. f. Forderer, chairman
of the present board, and A. V. Clark, a
popular young native son of the West End
and vice-president of the Clark Pottery
Works.
The complexion of the School Board is
not changed except for the short term, E.
Fl. Bryan being elected without opposition.
School Directors Knowles, Tisdale and
Lanktree, who have held this Office for the
past four years, succeed themselves on the
School Board. Colonel Roswell G..
Wheeler, City Treasurer elect, was for
merly an Indian Agent in Arizona under
the Harrison administration. Oscar L..
Rogers, reelected City Marshal, has held
the position three terms, and had no oppo-
The Board of City Trustees will meet

suit and issue certificates of election to the
successful candidates, and the new Trus-
tees will enter upon their duties at once.
The following are the successful candi-
dates: City Trustees-F. J. Fletter, j. F..
Forderer and A. V. Clark; School Direc-
tors-Dr. W. a. L. Knowles, c. L. Tisdale

Benjamin F. Lamborn.
The new Board of Trustees will have the
appointment of Library Trustees and Board
of Health. The Library Board will elect
the Librarian. E. B. Bullock is mentioned
for the place.
E. Minor Smith, who was defeated for
City Treasurer, has held Office in Alameda
for the past twenty-four years. He was
appointed Assessor in 1871, and held the
position continuously until the first of the
year, when he was appointed to succeed
James B. Barber, who was elected County
Tax Collector. James Wilmington has held
the position of City Clerk since 1884.

Reliance Athletic Club, thinks the Good
Roads Association should be able to &C
complish wonders. He pointed to the fact
that the Alameda Driving Club had
already obtained boulevard several miles
in length.
There is no reason why we cannot ac-
complish more if we work in harmony"
he said. "Our club hold its annual cleo
ton of directors on Thursday, April Is.
AS soon as the new board comes in aggres-
siye work will begin.
1.-THE wheelmen of Oakland are all in
line. When they begin the fight the clubs
of San Jose will organize to influence their
Supervisors, and a well laid out boulevard
must eventually result, as il is an actual
necessity"
Fred E. Whitney of the Reliance Club is
an attorney as well as an enthusiastic
wheelman. He thinks the Good Roads
Association should be able not only to
build boulevard from Oakland to San
Jose, but ought to be able to better all the
roads about the city.
at is almost impossible to find good
road by which to get out of Oakland" he
said. 1.-THE road to San Pablo just as pres
ent is simply impossible. The road to
street dam, while the road to Alameda is
barred by the Webster-street DAM"
George a. Faulkner of the Acmes is an
expert on wheels and knows every road in
Alameda County. He thinks boulevard
from Oakland to San Jose one of the things
of the near future.
1.-The road from Niles to San Jose is very
fair now" said he. "Those about Oakland
are disgrace to the county. From Oak
land to San Leandro the roads are defec-
tive in many places. The road by way of
Alvarado we have had to abandon, and
now wheelmen take the hill road by way
of Haywards. These things" he added,
will be changed when our membership
roll has been signed by the non-wheeling
property-ownerso of the city as well as those
belonging to bicycle clubs"
L. G. Burpee, member of the Y. M. G.
A. wheelmen. is cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank. He also hopes for good roads.
He thinks that the Supervisors can be in
duced to make boulevard to Alameda as
we'll, as to San Jose, and has many argu-
ments to show that such improvements
would really be in the line of economy.

THE OAKLAND BOULEVARD
Wheelmen Unanimous in De-
handing Better Roads to
San Jose.
DEvIslNG GOOD ORDINANCES
Aid the Alameda County
Clubs.

Oakland is in earnest in her demand for
better roads. Her wheelmen initiated the
movement. They have since been joined
by all the athletic clubs and those inter-
ested in having good even highways.
The idea has proved more popular than
even its most ardent supporters hoped.
The wheelmen alone, being 1000 strong are
power. Reinforced by the general driv-
ing public and those in sympathy with
athletics in general, they rally an array of
enthusiasts sufficient to move the most
hardened silurian.

Edwin Crossley, late mem Der of Parliament

balls of ali who look in that direction,
'eyen though they be removed from the
fires by distance of 400 leagues. The 1856
divisions of the grand Naraka are again
grouped into twenty-eight superintend-
ences, each in charge OF an imp called
goulali, or "soul-eater." 1t is the business
of this goulali to keep his charges in per-
petual dread-impressing each with the
fact that as soon as he comes out of any of
apartments his soul may be cooked until it
is sufficiently tender to make dainty NOR

AS each soul is being ushered from one
apartment to the other it is invariably met

aggerated devil, 240 miles high, who has
hair on his body which stand out like palm
trees. Yamaki does not lay hands upon
the tortured being that is paraded before
him. but his fierce roars ''are such as to
cause the poor victims skin to crack so
that he leaks blood from every inch of his
body. In each of these twenty-eight sub
divisions the tortured one is treated TO
something new and unique in the line of
misery. In one he has his toe and finger
nails plucked out, and the empty sockets
which formerly neld his eyes filled with
melted wax and then has horns inserted in
the places which in other days were occu-
pied by the organs of vision. In another
he is forced to have his teeth pulled and

FINANCES OF INDIA.
a Smaller Deficit Than It's Government
Anticipated.

Anticipated.
A telegram was received by the Secretary
of State for India from the Viceroy on
Tuesday stating that the accounts for
1884 show a deficit of Rx.1, 547 900, being
Rx246, 900 better than anticipated last
year. The revised estimates for 1S94-95
show a surplus of Rx.99O, 900, giving an i'm
provement, apart from exchange, of
Rx.3, 156, 900.
The expenditure throughout is well
within the estimates, and army savings,
due to low prices, have been more than
enough to meet excess charges, namely,
Rx393, 600 for pay of the British army and
Ribs, 600 for Waziri expedition. This
last will cost an additional sum of Rx.90,0 900
in 1866.
A general increase in the rate of pay of
the native Sepoys is to take effect from
July next for 10000 men; the increased
cost will be Rx.260,0 900 per annum, and the
charge will add to the Budget Estimate
of next year Rx180,000 (The charge is
accepted as long foreseen and now urgent. }
A sum of Rx. $780, 600 is provided for mill
tary preparations in connection with the
disturbances in Chitral. These charges of
Rx 180, 900 and Rx.150,00 600 reduce the sur
plus of Rx. 376, 900 to Rx.46, 000 which is the
surplus announced in the Budget. Under
the circums stances, the Famine Insurance
Grant remains in allegiance in the same
way as last year.
In conclusion, the Government, while
claiming to have made a full year s
progress toward the restoration of the
financial position, express their sense of
the difficulties and anxieties which still
surround it.-London Graphic.

MANY HELLs,

SheoI an Immense Apartment House in
the HindoO Belief.
1t is mystery to enlightened Western
nations how the Hindoos ever managed to
evolve such frightfully exaggerated idea
OF hell-as much of an enigma, perhaps,
as our fantastic ideas of the internal re-
gions will be to the more enlightened
races of the coming ages. The Hindoos
believe in aplurality of hells, 136 in all, a
monstrous red-hot aggregation bearing
the name of "the Narakas." This gigan-
tic apartment-house, which has been espe-
cially prepared for the souls of the damned,
is of unthinkable length and BREADTH and
has walls more than 100 miles in thick
ness.
The intense heat of the interior keeps
these walls at white heat, and through

Locked Up for burglary.

James Hanley, hardened youth from Tele-
graph Hill, and Gus Anderson, a union sailor,
started out to indulge expensive appetites in
flowing wine. They stole case of champagne
out of Danforth & Gilman's warehouse, at Bat
terry street and Broadway, but before they
could open q small bottle the heavy hand Of
the law was laid upon them by Officers Crosby
and Henneberry, who locked them up at the
North Harbor station and charged them with

Hark was also held in 5000 bonds on the
charge OF assault to murder upon Jean Car

Bates Not to Blame.

Mrs. John Martin desires it to be known that,
in her opinion, Attorney ]. C. Bates was not
to blame in the supposed misconducting of her
affairs. She said last evening: at was the
fault of another attorney, who kept certain
for the presentation of the bill of exceptions
the other man kept them locked up in his
desk, and Mr.. Bates sent round for them five
times without success" Mrs. Martin concluded
by speaking of Judge Coffey in q very emphatic
and uncompl1mentary manner.

burg, 3. & r. and Lebanon Springs rail
roads.-Reformer.
The above is joyful news. Just VIII a
this village needs is something that will
act towards the dollars of our people III
the same way that fly paper does toward
the fly--to entice them to the spot and
hold them. To judge from the above
and from the operations of the past,
Manager Martin is to work the amuse-
ment scheme during the coming season
at his day and night and Sunday resort
for mixed crowds, for all it is worth
aimed to secure every possible dollar
from the community. Who doesn't
know the one universal weakness of
mankind-the desire to see everything
that is going? With widely advertised
attractions, day after day and week after
week, as mentioned above, the crowds
are drawn and their money secured.
This is drain that any community of
the size Of Bennington can i'll afford.
The harm particularly reaches the work
ing classes-for they seemed, the past
season, to be the heaviest patrons of the
Casino-who are hardly prepared In a
financial way to support any such series
of amusements as are there carried on.
The money can be more profitably ex-
pended in the village, to the welfare of
the community and of those expanding
it. We believe that the Casino as was
operated last season, and as we are lead
to expect will be the coming season, is a
positive harm to the community, as
there are plenty of attractions. with our
large Opera House, here in the village.
Manager Martin has, of course, perfect
right to conduct his Casino in whatever
lawful way he chooses, yet, we believe
that the schemes should be viewed in
their right light instead of as an unmt-
igated blessing, as some seem inclined
to believe them, to the community,
