Steil (for the nonce Porter Ashe) might de-
sire to bet larger sum than $1,000. The
only way to overcome this difficulty was
to resort to trickery.
The stakeholder, friend of his, was to
pass the neatly rolled package of bills
back to him. Flynn would then be In a
position to bet another thousand. This
could be done any number of times, re-
sulting, of course, in SteiPs putting up his
good money against nothing. The ambi-
tious tailor, however, could only raise the
original sum agreed on, and so the matter
went at that.
Flynn insisted on the perfect honesty
and squareness of the race. Burchard, be-
fore loaning him the money, had insisted
on knowing if the race was straight, and
Flynn had assured him that everything
was on the dead level.
In addition to Flynn and Ryan, Frank
Brochard, w. P. Gilpin. J. c. Tracy and S.
G. Bowley were also called as witnesses,
their testimony being substantially the
same as that of the principals. The ac-
cused men had not succeeded in securing
bail up to late hour last night.
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-04

election to secure bonds for $50, 600 for
school purposes will be held tomorrow,
under the school district election law,
which allows only one polling place.
The voting will be done at the Kellogg
school building, on Center street, East
Berkeley. The polls open at o'clock and
close at sundown. J. Donahue and II. F.
Greenough will be judges of election, and
w. III. Kerrison will be inspector.
Friends OF the bonding measure express
confidence in the result of the vote. though
q two-thirds majority is required to carry
the proposition. So far the only opposers
OF bonds are the authors of the anonymous
Civic Federation" circulars. The latter
have been distributed in large numbers.
The Civic Federation" objects to bonds
for any sum, and proposes to raise $40, 900
or $4,000 by direct taxation for school
purposes. Those who oppose the ''federa-
Iion's" plan say that the amount would
be much too small, and that as direct
tax could not be collected before June,
1897, a long period of inconvenience and
poor school accommodations must follow if
bonds are now defeated.
Two replies to the ''Civic Federation" s"
circulars were issued to-day. One is cir
cular signed Anti Civic Federation" and
the other an extra of the Weekly Herald.

ing the strength of Stanford's nine with
that of Berkeley.

California and Watson of Stanford will
meet to arrange dates for the intercol-
legiate games ana to discuss the question
of having a freshman game. Both sides

ARIZOKA'S LiTicAL ROW.
Clark Found Not Guilty of Assauiting Coy
emor Hughes-Secretary Jor-
dan Resf0DS.

PHOENIX, ARIz., April 3.-P. ]. Clark
was to-day tried before jury in Justice
Morris court for assaulting Governor
Hughes last Monday, and a verdict of not
guilty was rendered,
1t seems that immediately after the
assault Clark went before Recorder Jobs,
pleaded guilty to assault and battery and
his friends paid his fine of SIS. Whether
the jury took this into account or not is
not known, but it was developed during
the trial that no one saw the blow struck,
and hence there was no direct testimony
on which to convict.
Eldridge Johnson, private secretary to
Governor Hughes, handed his resignation
to Acting Governor Bruce to-day and it
was accepted. It is unofficially announced
that ]. NJ Burnett, lawyer of this city,
will be appointed to. fill the vacancy. He
was formerly resident of Gila Bend,
where he practiced law and edited the
Arizonan.
The news that the Senate committee
had voted to recommend Governor Frank
Inns confirmation was received with salts
faction by all, as the people are tired of so
much political fighting. 1t is learned on
good authority that Congressman Murphy
withdrew his protest at the solicitation of
business men of Phoenix, regardless of
political belief, as they desired the unset
tied condition of affairs terminated.

A rumor was current to-day to the effect
that Johnson is already weakening and

surprise many people if the evangelist

Schaefer easily defeated Albert GARNER,
the Belgian champion. for the second time
in the series of the ner-Schaefer-Ives
1S-inch balk line billiard tournament at
Madison Square Garden tonight.
The fifth and semi-final game Of
the series was slower than any
of the previous games and did not
attract much public interest. GARNER
had already been worsted in all the other
games in which he had participated and
his defeat by Schaefer was anticipated.
Garniel was exceedingly nervous and
seemed unable to keep control of the balls
for any length of time. Schaefer did not
have to extend himself and as conse-
quence the game was long drawn out.

Education Is not a stutfing or era mining
process, but drawing out, developing of
what is in person. 1t is mistake to fancy
that large education is only for the pro-
fessional man. Why should not all persons
want generous education? But unless edu-
cation Strengthens manhood it is fruitless.
Man is intended to do something for the
world. He must not be satisfied with the
leaves.-Bishop n. S. Rulison, Episcopalian,
