Judge Saawell's Ruling May Result
in Dismissal of the Pro.

The seven Supervisors who were &C
cused by the late Grand Jury Of corruption
in lowering the assessments of the Spring
Valley Water Works, the Market-street
Railway Company and the San Francisco
Gaslight Company have escaped. The OBJ
jections raised by Counsel ]. G. Campbell,
Patrick Reddy and j. II. Dickinson
against the introduction of testimony
tending to show that the valuation OF the
franchises runs too low were sustained by
Judge Seawell in Department OF the Su-
perior Court yesterday.
The court held in view Judge Wallace's
ruling in the Siebe case that the act of the
Board of Equalization in fixing the assess
ment was the exercise of purely judicial
function and, therefore, could not be at
tackled by evidence showing that in the
opinion of others the Judgment of the
board was incorrect.

actually prove corruptionP'' asked Mr..
Hosmer for the prosecution.
The court replied: ~ do not believe that
the mere Judgment of an officer exercising
judicial functions, no matter how errone-
Gus, is evidence of corruption"
District Attorney Barnes, who was in
court yesterday, saw at once, and 80 did
his assistant, Mr.. Hosmer, that the task
of proving corruption by direct testimony
was greater burden than the prosecution
could sustain.

MORE GOLD BRICKS.
A Small Incident That Shows the Great
Interest in the Cam
paipn.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 2.--There was a
clash between commerce and politics last
night, and early this morning and to-day
the billboards all over town are decorated
with silver and gold as they were never
before.
During yesterday a billposter was busy
on little sign that was printed in gold
and consisted solely Of the two words
''gold brick" When Oakland awoke earIy
this morning "gold brick" was all over
town. Two or three energetic Populists
or rfDemocrats, or both, saw them and at
once concluded that IL was device o the
enemy of their 50-cent dollar campaign
and at once started out to obliterate the
offensive gold signs By noon large pla-
cards printed in silver and representing q
dollar were posted over the gold signs.
The off nding "gold brick man is a
man named Buss of East Oakland.
He thought he had fortune in sight in
some small article that he manufactures
and had spent bis small savings in gold
signs which angered the Populists. To add
to his discontinue Buss is also Populist.

to find witness to swear positively that
any Supervisor had been corruptly ap-
preached. The weakness OF the case was
understood in the District Attorneys
office, where the accusation was filed, but
there was hope that course OF Judicial
inquiry would be permitted in behalf of
the people which would reveal the true
motive for reducing corporate franchises
to figure far below that returned by the
Assessor.
The ruling of Judge Seawell practically
amounted to dismissal OF the case. A
few questions were propounded to Mr..
Farquaharson, clerk in the office OF the
Board of Supervisors, and then the Dis
trict Attorney rested

said: 1--WE move that your Honor instruct

favor of the defendants you will find the
defendants not guilty on each count"
The foreman of the jury responded:
"We find tue defendants not guilty on

The court then discharged the jury.

The Supervisors were not compelled
under oath to explain why they rated
Spring Valley property worth $20, 900, 600
in February, when the company was to
receive revenue on its investment from the
taxpayers, and in March, when the COM
pany's investment was to be taxed for the
benefit of the Clty,it was worth less than
half that sum. According to the law
transactions of this character are errors OF
Judgment committed by the Supervisors
in judicial capacity.
Tbe verdict rendered by instruction does
not obscure the fact that the seven ac-
cused Supervisors reduced the assessments
on the franchises of rich corporations and
thereby compelled home-owners and mer-
chants to bear an unequal burden of taxa
ton. 1t may console the plundered tax
PAYERS, however, to know that they have

The men at work on the Wetherbee
place removing stumps of large trees
startled the community this morning by
an explosion of giant powder that shattered
glass in a dozen adjacent houses, broke
roofs and parted electric wires.
Tom West, an experienced man in the
handling OF explosives, was in charge, and
placed seven sticks of No. 2 giant powder
under big stump, arranged to 60 off one
after the other, as he had done for weeks
before. But his well-prepared plans failed,
and three OF the sticks went off at once.
He and his assistant were standing only
forty feet from the stump and were un-
harmed, as was the Wetherbee house in
the lot. but the neig h bors were startled by
cracking glass in every direction. Only
half of the stump came out, but part OF
that took soutbwesterly course. cutting
the span-wires of the Haywards electric
road and breaking the glass in car stand
ing about 300 feet from the scene. The
first piece landed 900 feet from the starting
point in vacant lot. The other piece
went about 500 feet east and stopped just
short of striking a cottage.
A drugstore, butcher shop and grocery
each had two windows broken, besides
two hoies puncLuIeu IN tne grocery TOOL.
The residence of Mr.. Farnum had four
large window-pane broken, and Mr..
AIdrich had large window nearly ten
feet square shattered.
Mr.. Cordes was thrown out of his bed
600 feet away from the scene and was de-
posted on the floor amid shower of
broken glass.
The work was being done by E. B.
Stone, who visited the damaged houses
as soon as he learned of the accident,
and gave orders to have all repairs made
at his expense. He said he was glad no
lives were lost.

Three beautiful little children, aged one,
three and five years, and their petite
mother, all of whom had been deserted,
were made happy to-day. Just when
hardship and privation seemed about to
overwhelm the plucky little woman she
found a helping hand where she least ex-

Mrs. Truesdeil of Alameda, young
wife and mother, told her story to the
secretary of the Children's Society and
asked for aid. 1t is very difficult matter
for Mrs Prescott to find q good home for
a woman with one child and it may fairly
be regarded as an impossibility to find q
place for a mother with three. Mrs.
Prescott applied at all the houses, but
there were. no vacancies ana the little
mother was almost heartbroken.
"But help came from an unexpected
quarter" said Mrs. Prescott to-day. MRS.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 2.-The presence
of mind and prompt action of Conductor
Buchanan of the broad-gaug local train
to-day was the means of saving the life of
S. B. Swan, engineer of the Hayes-street
cable line, San Francisco. As it was
Swan had his clothes badly torn. his
shoes ripped, and was nearly dead from
fright.
Mr.. Swan had been visiting here and
attempted to catch the O'Clock train for

on a run and caught the handle rails Of
the middle car as it crossed the street,
and was thrown off his feet. He chung to
the rail and was dragged along with his
feet nearly under the wheels.
The attention OF Conductor Buchanan
was attracted to the unfortunate man by
the cries of the school children He
promptly pulled the signal cord and
grabbed the man by the coat-coilar just
as his hold on the railing failed. He held
him until the train stopped, when Mr..
Swan was taken aboard, exhausted with
fright. He is a man of 2c0 pounds and
seemed grateful for the timely aid of the
