But, notwithstanding they are now in tn. city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.

oughly considered in any arrangement
contemplated. On this matter l an

quarters.

hour.
lone word to disheartened Populists
The Peoples party of the Nation was never
more thoroughly organized than it is
to-day. The new National Committee
was selected by the same loyal forces that
changed the order of business in the con-
vention and nominated that gallant leader,
Thomas A. Watson. for Vice-President
atlng, are past, and clean-cut, vigorous,
honest, open and bold course will mark
the path of those now in control.
"In California every loyal Populist in
every voting precinct will work and vote
for our nominee for Lieutenant-Goyernor
and all the minor offices. While we meet
the Democrats on common ground on Ma
tional issues and work with them for a
common victory over common foes, we
nevertheless in tend to conduct clean-cut,
vigorous Peoples party campaign
While all these things are being ar
ranged, the Dem ocrats, the Populists say,
have not made any overtures to the Peo-
pIe's Party State Committee, but the fine
Italian hand of Senator Jones of Arkansas
and Johann Most Altgeld OF Illinois
may be plainly seen by any one who looks

AN OLD MANS PROPERTY,
His Children Engaged in a Fight
for It Before His
Death.
Trouble of Warning Step.Brothers
a"d Step.Sisters to Be Aired
in Court.

There is lively family row going on
among the children of John O'Brien, who
owns considerable property in Noe. Valley.
O'Brien was married twice, and the two
daughters of his first wife are arrayed
against son and two daughters of the
second spouse.
1t seems that O'Brien's youngest daugh-
ter, Sarah, kept house for him up to about
a year ago. Another daughter, Lizzie, up
to the time of her marriage also resided
with him. On November 20, 1891, o. 'Brien
made deed to all his property in favor OF
these two children, but stipulated that the
deed be not recorded until after his death.
His request was, however, disregarded and
on May l, 1895, the deeds were recorded
without his knowledge or consent
A bitter quarrel followed this action on
the part OF the children and resulted in
their leaving the old man to keep house
for himself. A settlement was afterward
effected by O'Brien signing a quitclaim
deed to one piece OF property and another
piece was reconveyed to him.
The old gentleman was, however. tired
of living alone, so he sent for Annie Perry,
his daughter by his first wife, and. so she
says. promised that if Mrs Perry would
come and live at his home ano take care
of him he would at his death will to her
the balance of his property, excepting
$4,000, which he stipulated should go to
certain named heirs. Mrs. Perry agreed
to this, the will was made accordingly, the
Perrys left their own home, which they
rented, and took up their residence at
1864 Noe street, with John O'Brien.
All went we'll for year, but then the
old man suddenly deserted the Perrys and
went to live with Mrs. Tierney. He has
since threatened to revoke the will and
have the Perry family ousted from the
fiat at 1861 Noe street.
Mrs. Perry and her husband yesterday
brought suit against Brien, praying that
he be enjoined from disposing of his prop
erty, reyoking his will or having the
Perrys erected from the fat at 1861 Noe
street.

Their Creditors Yesterday.
The carriage and harness dealing firm of
O. F. Wiley & Co., 81 Montgomery
street. went to the wall yesterday after a
hard but unavailing fight to stave off the
crisis.
The financial troubles of the firm, of
which o. F. Wiley, Chris Buckley's old
friend, is the head, were brought to a
focus Yesterday when H. H. Babcock of
the Babcock Manufacturing Company of
Watertown, N. Y, filed suit for $8373
and levied an attachment for that amonnt
against the stock carried in the Mont
gomery-street store
Mr.. Wiley attributes the trouble to the
failure of other concerns that held his
paper, and while not intending to give up
without struggle is under the impression
that the firm will not be able to get out of
the muddle.
This attachment" he said yesterday,

Company of Cincinnati. l owed them

Bryan Spurns the Peoples Party
Platform With Scorn and
Condemns It.
GATORS OPINION OF UNION
The Executive Committee Preparing
Plan to Save the Democracy
From Destruction.

The Northern Democrats, who, unlike
their brethren of the South, love the Pop
ullsts, are very much agitated because of a
statement made by Senator Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the National Com
mittee of the silver Democrats. to re-
porter of the New Y York World.
When asked by the World correspondent
the question, "Will Mr.. Bryan accept the
nomination offered him by the Popu-
ists?r he answered slowly and deIiber-
ately: How can he? He was nominated
with Sewall on the Democratic platform,
and he will do nothing that will reflect
upon him as gentleman or as the Demo-
cratic candidate. He appreciates very
highly the fact that the PopuIists honored
him with so many of their votes, but when
he sent that telegram to the ST. Louis con-
vention requesting the withdrawal of his
name he meant that he could not accept
the nomination. He is of the same mind
now.
81 see some of the Populists are declar-
ing that unless Bryan accepts their nomin-
alton by August the central committee
will withdraw his name and nominate
some one else in his place. Well, let them
do so. Mr.. Bryan having been the nomi-
nee of the Democrats and of the Silver
party common decency would at least sug-
gest the propriety OF his accepting those
nominations first. But suppose the Popu-
lists do nominate another candidate for
the Presidency, what would be the situa-
ton? Mr.. Bryan received 1000 votes in
their convention, and then this central
committee, composed of few men, comes
along and nominates new man. 1t will
simply mean the disruption and disorgan-
ization of the Populist party"
Middle-of-the-road Populists are rejoic-
ing over the news. It looks as if things
were coming their way after all for a
straight out and out Populist ticket. They
are laughing also over Senator Jones'
statement to the effect that the nomina
ton OF Watson for Vice President, fol-
lowed by the nomination of Norton for
President, would mean the disruption OF
the Populist party. They say that he
would rather have the party swallowed
twenty times over by the Democracy than
disrupted.
The straight Populists are saying more
than this. They say that the leaders of
the Peoples party stood in with the silver
Democrats at ST. Louis and emascuiated
the comprehensive platform OF principles
adopted at Omaha so that it would be
Democratic enough and non-Populistic
enough to allow Messrs. Bryan and Sewall
to stand upon, the job being at the outset
to have both nominated by the National
Peoples Party Convention. Every one of
the Populist Judases from General Weaver
down was as much in favor of Capitalist
Sewall as he was of Bryan. That was the
Democratic programme, but the slate was
smashed by the tirmness of North Caro-
lima with her ninety-two delegates stand
ing by Texas and the other middle Of the
road delegates and insisting on a Peoples
