away from where people can see us, ex-

Schwartz, Kingsley, Driscoll. Israel, Hall

equally interested and will conduct bust

town is a nuisance we have therefore
reduced the nuisance to minimum"
Mr.. Corbett and his associates are still
waiting for Judge Wallace's decision as to
their right to violate the Ellert ordinance
prohibiting the sale of pool tickets outside
OF the track where the races take place.
They expect that when this decision is
given Edward Corrigan of the Ingleside
track and Thomas H. Williams Jr of the
Bay District track will allow them to get
direct telegraphlc wire from these courses.
But they may be counting without their
host. Neither Mr.. CorrIgan nor Mr.. Will
iams will allow any but their own private
wire to enter the racetracks IN which they
are interested.
In the meantime, however, the Anna
street poolmen have arranged for quiet
service of their own. They have rented
the tower-like building on the south
westerly side Of the track, whence the races
may easily be seen and the results wired

Harry Il. Corbett, one of the leading
spirits in the new combine, gave his
reasons for the move, which is calcu-

poolselling regardless of the Ellert ordi-

SCHOOL FOR SUNNYSIDE.
A Building for the District to
Be Erected Before Next
July.
Land to Be Decided to the City for
a Site-A New Improvement
Club.

Sunnyside, Castro-street Addition and
Branch County Jail, are to have school
house. That was practically decided last
night at ma8s-meeting of property
owners in Dssse's Hall, 26 Circular avenue.
The school building is not to be erected
Immediately, but while the Board of Edu-
cation will have plans in preparation
temporary house for classes will be used.
With such prospects in view the people OF
the growing district out near Ocean View
were highly pleased last night and con-
graduated themselves on their good for
tune.
School Director Clinton addressed the
meeting last night. he stated that if the
land company would offer to deed to the
City sufficient land for 2 schOolhouse site
he would bring the matter before the
board at its next meeting. He assured the
property owners that the board would in
that case establish school in the district
within week and have suitable school
building ready for use by next July.
This statement from member of the
Board OF Education was received with
great applause, and S. J. Hill, on behalf
of the land company most directly il
terested, announced that two lots 100x112
feet would be decided to the City this week
for the site needed.
u cOl6lStlIIS Oh D. f1lll, A.
j. Johnson and Eugene Dasse was APP
pointed to attend to the matter in its
various details and given full power to act
and represent the property-owners.
1t was then proposed that the people of
the district organize permanent associa-
ton, having for its object the improve
ment of that portion OF town. John Bar
retJ and Joseph Ferrea, who acted as
president and secretary respectively of the
mass-meetlng, were elected temporary
officers.
The needs of the district were presented
by different speakers, and it was stated
that street work, electric lights and many
other facilities were absolutely necessary
for the welfare of the district and the COM
fort of its residents
The new organization was named the
Sunnyside Improvement Club.
Temporary organization having been
effected, the club adjourned to meet at the
call OF the chair and permanently organize
and begin the work of improvement.

WITH A NEW FACE.

The Litigation over the Transfer of the
Pacific Bank Property Open Again.
H. W. Hutton has commenced suit
aga inst the Peoples Home Savings Bank
and the PacifcBank, which has for its object
the setting aside of the transfer of the Pa
cific Bank property to the Peoples Home
Bank. There has been much litigation
over this transfer, and the suit just brought
merely presents the matter in a new
light.
The new suit is brought under that law
which makes the rights of stockholders in
an insolvent corporation subordinate to the
RIGHTS of outsiders. The theory of the
suit is that the Peoples Home Bank,
being a stockholder in the Pacific Bank,
could not secure to itself tina Pacific Bank
property to the injury of the depositors
who we're not stockholders, A. j. Clunie
is plaintiffs attorney.

into town. In addition to this they have
engaged score of young men to enter the
grounds and leave there in relays with the
opening and closing odds on each horse,
the weights, the names of the jockeys and
the results as given from the judges
stand. The races, as they occur, will be
seen from the tower and telegraphed into
town just as they used to be before the
poolmen were refused Geographic service.
The poolmen have evidently got shade
the best of the controversy since the races
at the Bay District Track have begun, but
this advantage will cease as soon as the
races at Ingleside are resumed in ten days.
at the latter place there are no towers or
outside wires which may be used.

The proposed guarantee by the Canadian
Pacific would not compensate for the loss
of the Boston connection, and hence the
reCeivership, with himself as one OF the
receivers. 1t was an effective checkmate
to the Canadian Pacihc's plans. The

There is no doubt that the "re-
ceptive candidacy" of ex-presi-
dent Harrison is inspired by
these foes. Once more they feel
the sting of anticipated defeat;
again they are resorting to plots
to divide the forces of the anti
boss Republicans; once more
they will fail. General Harrison
is too wise and too patriotic to
allow the use of his name as an
ambush behind which the plot
tiers who sought to discredit his
administration may couspire to
rout his real friends.

to be a candidate, and his de-

FOR GOVERNOR,
Major Josiah circuit of Derby.

MAJOR JOSIAH urout on Defpy'
We have hitherto said nothing
concerning the gubernatorial
question simply because there
was no occasion to say any thing.
Major Grout has resided in this
county several years, he is well
known to the people of the
county, he has been before them
in public, also in his profession as
a lawyer, and is well known here
as citizen. 1t is and has been
from the beginning conceded that
Essex County would be entirely
content with his nomination and
election so that no words of ours
have seemed necessary. We have
had occasion to be recently with
most of the leading men in the
county and much with the people
and they are naturally, and so
far as we have been able to dis
cover, unanimously, in favor OF
the Majors candidacy. So far as
the various questions and con-
siderations concerning his candi-
dacv and that of others through
out the state are concerned our
people seem to care very little.
Rivalries among candidates do
not in this instance reach the
people here. Mr.. Stickney as a
speaker of the House of repre-
sentatives was very popular i'll
this county, and nothing but
the best of feeling exists towards
him. Our people have no particu-
lar fear that the Major will com,
nit any gross nepotism, but be.
lieving from their acquaintance
with him and with his proofs OF
fidelity to the country, in times
of war as we'll as peace, that he
will make consistent, dignifed
and becoming governor for the
state they are and will remain en-.
tirely content with his candidacy
