NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-Lord Dunraven
aud his friend, Arthur Glennie, sailed
this afternoon on board the Umbris for
England. In answer: to questions put
to him at the steamer pier by an Aeso-
cfated Press reporter, Lord DunrSyen
SAID -! really don's want to talk"
MT Glennie was little more com
muniossive, and when esked what WAS
the Cause OF Lord Dunraven's sudden
departure, said ominously: sit fs q
very sad ending;" but was not inclined
to qualify nor define this statement
when urged to do so.
AS the ship moved out of the dock a
few of those who knew the titled visitor
shouted: Good bye, Lord Dunraven, I"
but the moment the cry went up his
lordship hurried to the other side OF the
steamer. Mr.. Glennie, however. re-
naming leaning over the rail and bowed
his acknowledgements to the cheers and
greetings, derisive or otherwise, which
were sent up for the Irish earl. The
committee OF the New York Yacht Club
was In session to-day. What effect Lord
Dunraven's seemingly unceremonious
departure will have in determining the
committees course cannot be foretold.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITIES.

The year 1895 is drawing rapidly to q
close and before the arrival of another
Sabbath day 1t Will have dropped back
into the dreamy vista Of time TO be num-
bered with the years that will never
moro return. To many 1t has bsen q
season of doubt and uncertainty, of con.
atant toll and continued anxiety. Others,
it may be, whose lines were cast In
pleasant places, have found comfort
and pleasure, but even to thu most
fortunate the year has hardly been one
OF uninterrupted enjoyment and success.
ALI, however, no matter what their
experiences may have been, will find
in looking over the past much food for
reflection and abundant room for resolu-
tions to improve the opportunities OF the
year to come. They must know after
all that life Ia uncertain, and that
fortune, in the bestowment of her
fsvors, ia tickle, and cannot be relied
upon in any calculations as to the
future, with the inevitable conclusion
that the suress rosd to happiness is over
paths suggested by an approving con-
science. Thus, in making AN estimate
of our own conduct and in forming
judgment on the course OF others, we
must remember that in the main the
trials which beses US were such as come
to all, and that, while i. is the duty OF
everyone to aim at high mark OF rec
iitude, but few are able to reach it.
To the weak and erring then we
should extend, as far as our obligations
to society will permit, charity that
suffers long and is kind, remembering
at the same timo that all ace not alike
strong in their ability to resist tempta-
tion and rise superior to their environ
mont and attendant ciIc ANS tances. To
lift up the fallen, comfort the miserar
BILE and assist the unfortunate Ia a duty
enjoined by the Savior of Mankind, and
in resolving within ourselves, as every
one should, to improve upon the past
and lead more worthy lives, we should
watch we'll lest we shut up ourselves in

A Prisoner Escapes From the

LiVermore.

Thomas Brown, young man who has
been IN the Alameda County Jail awaiting
trial on a charge of attempted burglary for
a month past, escaped from the dock in
Judge Tricks court yesterday morning,
and up to late hour last night was still
at liberty.
Bailiff Smith went to the jail before
court convened and brought Brown and
two other prisoners over to be arraigned.
When they were placed in the dock and
the handouts removed, it was discovered
that one of the men had been mistaken for
prisoner still in the jail, and Bailiff
Smith went over to the District Attorney
to see which one was wanted, and get an
order on the jailer for him.
Brown, who is a small man, slipped from
the dock the instant Smiths back was
turned, and made for the door leading into
the corridor. The deputy saw him Just as
the door was closing on his retreating
form, and made dart for the exit. The
corridor was crowded with witnesses and
spectators in the Lambert case, and Brown
managed to dodge among them and was
lost to view.
From that moment he seemed to sink
into the earth. Bailiff Smith searched the
building tho roughly, but could find no
trace OF the escape, and then the custom

THE NEW CLIFF HOUSE.
An Army of Carpenters Working on the
Frame, Which Presents Many
Odd Features.

Odd Features.
The frame work of the new Cliff House
will be completed inside of ten days.
This part of the work would have been
more forward had it not been discovered
that inferior brick was being furnished
the contractors. This necessitated the
pulling down the ehimneys, which were
half built.
A small army of men are working on
the frame of the building, which is of pecu-
liar strength. The stills of the house
proper are 12x12 pieces of timber cemented
into the solid rock. These timbers are
covered with double coating of tar and
asphaltum to prevent decay.
On either side of the building are eight
steel rods III inches thick. These are
buried into the rock from twenty to forty
feet and extend to the joists in the roof.
They are 80 constructed that in the case OF
shrinkage in the woodwork the rods can
be shortened and the house kept firm.
At each outer corner the floor joists radi-
ate from a great iron rod. Each joist is
bolted to heavy iron plate made fast to
the rod. This would prevent the falling
of the house even though large portion
of the cliff might give way.
The balconies which extend over the
cliff are supported by heavy uimbers
braced as for bridge-building, and sunk
deep into the rocks. Though no part Of
the building rests on these they are further
supported by cross studding.
The entire building is being built with
hurricane that might blow. As soon as
the frame work is completed the finishing
Of the house will be taken up, but moi

TRAMPED TO BERKELEY,
Beers and Hughes of Los An
geleS Arrive at the Uni
verSity.
TWO Poor Scholars Who Are Willing
to Work for Their Edu-
cation.

Louis E. Beers and Ural S. Hughes, the
two yong men who started from Los An
geles fifty-four days ago to tramp to Berke-
ley, with the hopes of securing something
to do in the university town whereby they
might acquire college education, arrived
at their destination yesterday afternoon.
Though they left home penniless and
have walked the entire distance, with the
exception of nine miles, they appeared as
fresh and clean as if they had only been
out for morning constitutional"
They were clad in rather picturesque
garb, with broad brimmed som breros,
knickerbockers, white sweaters, brown
canvas leggings and heavy shoes. Their
travelling outfit consisted of blanket,
knapsack, canteen, tield-glasses, a light
rife, some fishing tackle and several cook
ing utensils.
1t was against their religious principles
to do any tramping on Sundays, and
Hughes, who is theological student, con-
Quoted religious services on SUNDAYS
wherever it was possible to do so.
They carried letters from the Young
Mems Christian Association of Los AM
geles and credentials from the Chief of Po-
lice, stating that they were no ordinary
tramps and beggars. Upon several &C.
casions they were suspected of vagrancy
aud their letters were found to be con
venient.
Beers is locksmith and carried with
him bunch of keys and several small
tools, with which he managed to earn
enough money on the trip to defray good
part of their expenses. A number Of en-.
tertainments were given in the small towns
on their way, at which they in turn re-
lated their experiences, and varied the
program me with music and comic recita-
tions.
Upon being questioned as to their plans
in Berkeley, the hardy pilgrims stated
that they were going to work at ANYTHING
and everything they could find to do, from
waiting at table to doing errands, and
would turn away from nothing that was
honorable and that would assist them to
acquire an education.
Immediately upon arriving they COM
menced to look around for something to
do, and Beers inquired at several places if
there were "any keys to be fitted, made or
mended."
The weather was such that it was pos
sible for them to spend nearly every night
out OF doors, and they say they rather pre-
ferred it.
While at the Venetian water carnival at
Santa Cruz they met several Berkeley
wheelmen, and their trip yesterday to the
college town was not only to complete
their journey, but also to see their newly
made friends, and to take look at the
university buildings. After walking

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
George Lang, the Champagne Agent,
Comes to Trial This
Morning.

The case of George Lang, arrested for
selling goods under false pretenses, is set
for trial to-day. 1t is not known just how
long the traffic has been carried on, as he
is reported to have gone, about it very
shrewdly. 1t is charged that Lang made
a practice of labelling California cham
psagnes costing So per case with the labels
of Pommery Sec. the swell brand of cham
payne, and selling it for SIS per case while
the price of the genuine Pommery is $36
per case.
The fraud was first detected by Gus
toner at Frank Gobey's saloon on Suffer
street. The patron thought he had been
served Pommery Sec from the appearance
of the bottle, but when he tasted the con-
made known his suspicious to Mr.. Cooley,
who at once informed William Wolff & Co.,

the arrest.

cute the case, which will come up this

WATSON Is FREE AGAIN.
Judge Wallace Decides That He Was
Not in Contempt OF
Court.


Judge Wallace has discharged Ambrose
Watson, the clerk of Police Court 2,
who will again be at his desk until Alfred
Morgenstern can bring quo-warranto
proceeding against him.
Watson came before Judge Wallace on a
writ of habeas corpus, secured while he
was in the custody of the Sheriff under
sentence by Judge Conlan for contempt.
Judge CONAN had ordered him to turn
over the books to Morgenstern, and upon
Watson's refusal had cited him for con-
tempt.
Judge Wallace decided that quo-war-
ranto proceeding is the only way to test
the title to an Office and, therefore, that
when Judge Conlan cited Watson Tor re-
fusing to obey an order which should not
have been made, the court exceeded its
authority.
The decision of Judge Wallace virtually
amounts to declaration that the title to
a public Office cannot be tried under q
