Nominated.

Nominated.
The Continental (Republican) League is
only few months old, but it has big
and growing membership and will make
its influence felt in the campaign. Frank
D. Worth is president of the league, Will
E. Fisher and W. T. Kibbler vice. presi-
dents, Maurice L. Asher recording secre-
tary, w. r. Jost Jr. treasurer and B. L.
Hesseltine financial secretary.
At its session last night 165 new mem
bers were admitted and applications were
received from seventy-six citizens and re-
ferred to the membership com mittee.
President Worth stated that the Presi-
Dental ratification would be held in this
City next Saturday. All preparations for
q grand parade on that occasion have been
made by the league.
is Large and handsome satin banner
will be carried by four men. Badges, flags
and lanterns will be provided, and all
members are requested to be on hand
when formally notified, and also to bring
their friends with them. The finances Of
the league are in highly prosperous con-
dition, its members are active and enthusi-
astic, and big and imposing turnout is
confidently anticipated.
After the routine business had been
transacted there were short speeches by
! w. E. Fisher, DR.. B. F. Fleming, Amos
Currier and songs and Rotations by the
Glee Club and Messrs. Coyey, ConIey,
Roney and Sharp.

part in the parade be given small Ameri-

firecrackers to be fired along the line Of
march.
The Fourth of July Committee has pre-
to the merchants:
To the Merchants and Business Men OF San
Observation-Disclosures: The committee on
decorations OF the Fourth of July celebration,
1896, have under consideration several plans
in connection with the patriotic displays to be
made on that occasion, and it is their desire to
advance the interests of the City generally,
with which your individual interests are so
intimately blended.
At the last meeting of the committee the
Oh airman was instructe TO issue circular
address inviting you to attend meeting to be
held in the Assembly rooms, Mills building
on Tuesday evening" June 16, at z 80 O'Clock,
to discuss the plans referred to.
One plan proposes an artistic patriotic
illumination of the central part OF the City, to
be ready and In operation on the evening of
July and to continue through the night OF
July 4. This being extensively advertised i'm
mediately will, it is believed, not only en-
nance the patriotic zeal OF our own citizens
but viii attract from all parts of the State to
this City during the three days of the illumi-
nation large crowds of visitors anxious 10 wit
ness this patriotic display. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to suggest that this large influx of visitors
will result in pecuniary advantages to our
business men very largely in excess of the out
lay incurred.
1t has also been decided that in lieu of the
old plan having set pieces of fireworks in re-
mote and comparatively inaccessible parts of
the City the executive committee be requested
to provide for setting off bombs, rockets and
Illuminating fires on the public squares and
suitable places contiguous to the central, busy
parts of the City during the illuminatioas
On these and kindred topics free discussion
will be had, in which you are cordially in
yited to participate. AS this is OF great inter-
est to you individually do not fail 10 attend.
Respectfully yours, w. II. DAVIS,
Chairman Committee on Decorations.

Secretary Fourth of July Committee.

The Thirty Fifth Distri ct Will Turn Out

The Assessor Prefers to Have a
Chance to Prove His In.
nocence.
MANY AUTHORITIES QUOTED
The Court Took the Motion Under
Amusement and Will Pass on
1t Next Week.

District Attorney Barnes sprung a sem
sation in the Siebe case yesterday. When
Judge Wallace opened court, and before
Attorney A. ]. Clunie could present his
prepared order of commitment Mr. Barnes
knocked out all calculations by announc-
ing that he wished to submit motion to
dismiss the charge of perjury against the
Assessor.
Nearly every one in the courtroom was
completely surprised. Judge Wallace
stared and the attorneys looked most I'M
easy. A. ]. Clunie was the first to regain
bis speech.
Il object to the District Attorney max
ing an argument of any kind in this case"
said he. He is not interested here, and l
submit that he has no right to make any
such argument as he proposes"
Judge Wallace, however, decided to
hear what Mr.. Barnes had to say, remark
ing that the District Attorney has right
as chief of the criminal department of the
City and County, to take part in any
criminal case.
Barnes then told how the siebe perjury
case has oceasioned him great anxiety by
clogglng the criminal calendar in Depart
ment 6 and interfering with the working
said he, 1.-The Assessor is a quasi-judicial
officer and as such responsible and cannot
be brought to trial for an error of iudg-
ment. 1t must be shown that he has
acted corruptly first"
A large number of authorities were
quoted by Mr.. Barnes to show that this is
the state of the present case, and then At
torney Clunie showed that he had not
been taken entirely by surprise by getting
right in and giibly quoting a few authori-
ties that seemed to show the District At
torney to be wrong.
Clunie referred to the perjury charge
against Siebe in Judge CampbeI's court,
and Mr.. Barnes promptly announced that
he intended to also move its dismissal.
Then Clunie attacked Barnes argument
on another side.
There have been no new propositions
of law raised" said he. Cali this has been
discussed before by Mr.. Pillsbury and Mr..
MeEnerney, and it has been passed upon
by your Honor. Mr.. Barnes has no right
to make this motion unless he claims the
right to dismiss the case"
Attorney Friedenrich, representing
Siebe said that the Assessor would prefer
that he be given q chance to prove the
value of the railroad property by calling
expert witnesses, but that the District
Attorneys motion was agreeable to him.
Judge Wallace finally took the motion
under advisement and will pass upon the
matter on Wednesday next.

Place at Central Park at

proposition was received favorably and the
two affairs will probably take place on the
mo evening.

IT'S BUT A MEMORY NOW
The Lick Old Ladies Home
Is a Thing of the
Past.
1t Will Be Known Hereafter as the
University Mound Old Ladies'
Home.

Judge Murphy yesterday granted the
application of the Lick Old Ladies'
Home" praying that the name of that in
stitution be changed to 1.-THE University
Mound Old Ladies' Home"
The petition was presented by the sur
vivlng executors of the trust of James
Lick, who established the home-A. B.
Forbes, Robert McElroy and E. w. New
hall. The reasons given for the desired
change were:
"Firs.-That the name of a person being
connected with or forming part of the
corporate name of an eIeemosynary 1nsul-
tuition initiates against and interferes
with and prevents many charitable be-
quests coming to the support of the lnsti-
tuition, which would otherwise be made
to it if the institution bore a general
name.
tSecond-That general name would
promote the interests of the institution
and be in keeping with the intent and pur.
pose of the founder"
When James Lick founded the Old
Ladies' Home he created a trust OF $780,
600 to support it. The State OF California
also allowed it 500 month. The Legis-
lature's aid was, however, withdrawn and
the income from the original investment
has been found insufficient to meet the
current expenses. The 100000 has
dw1ndled until now only 100000 remains.
This is invested at per cent, bringing q
monthly return OF $500.
There have been in all about eighty-five
inmates cared for in the Lick Home, but
there are at present only thirty.
Judge Murphy, before he granted the Pc
tition, said he did not see why the name of
the man who originally endowed a charit-
able institution should not be perpetuated
in the title of that institution. However,
as it probably would be advantageous to
the institution, and on that ground ac-
ceptable to its founder, he would grant
the request.

AN INDUSTRIAL THIEF.

An Unemployed Major General Arrested
for Stealing Bicycle.
William Martin, also known as Van r.
Carpenter, was arrested on Thursday
night oil Sixth street by Sergeant Davis
and Detective Harper, while trying to dis
pose of q bicycle that had evidently been
stolen.
Martin has had decidedly checkered
career In 1884 he was sent from Ventura
County to the State Prison for grand lar
eeny and three years later from Contra
COSTA County for similar offense. Since
then he has served several terms for

Finally finding that thieving was not a
profitable business Martin started out to
win military honors for himself, and the
first opening that presented itself was in
