THE
CASH STORE.

When taking inventory at
the first of the year we
found we were carrying ell
tirely too large a stock of
Tea. In order to reduce
this stock we will, during
the remainder of January,
take off &c per pound on all
grades except the 1oc goods,
upon which we will make
a reduction of &c per pound.
We believe it is generally
conceded that we carry the
finest line of Teas and Cof-
fees in this part of the
state. In our stock OF Tea
there is some low-priced
goods, some medium, but
the bulk is high-class goods,
our regular price of which
is considerably below its
actual value.

MRS. TUNNEL FOUND.
Matte Overman Was Not With
Her, but Expected Any
Time.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March 19.-Mrs.
Tunnel arrived from Ensenada this morn
ing. She boarded a car at the Santa Fe
wharf and came UP town. The next seen
OF her was at National City, where she
waited in the n. G. and o. depot for three
hours expecting to meet some one, pre-
sumably Matte Overman. But Matte
did not appear. 1t is believed that Miss
Overman changed her mind about going to
Ensenada by stage and communicated
with Mrs Tunnel to that effect, fixing a
meeting for to-day.
Miss Overman has not been seen since
her departure from Tia Juana. She has
displayed great shrewdness in her efforts to
keep dark. Mrs. TunnelI was very impa-
tient when Miss Overman did not appear
to-day and she told the station man that she
would have to do some telegraphing.
Later she said she would write. She left
the depot after while and that is the last
seen of her.
1t is reported that she met Matte later
and that they took the Los Angeles train
at ESQ O'Clock. This report could not be
verified. Mrs. Tunnel travels under the
name of Mrs. NJ. Fowler. She knows San
Diego quite well, having lived here some
years ago. soon after her elopement with a
young man twenty years her junior. She
taught school here few months.

purpose of inquiring into the charges
against Rev. Mr.. Brown, in answer to a
question as to what had been that gentle
mans attitude toward the council said:
AT first it was very apparent that Brown
was extremely antagonistic to us. He

OF enemies and that instead of being there
Tor the purpose of ascertaining the truth
OF the charges that we had gathered for
the sole purpose of condemning him.
In fact, during the first two weeks of
The trial, there were times when he would
hardly deign to answer our questions in
respectful manner. Later he either was
informed by his counsel that his conduct
would prejudice his cause or else he at last
began to comprehend that we were acting
In justice and equity and not from sense
OF malice. and everything went smoother.
No, there was not the slightest evidence

terry, and it is my private opinion that

painters. It was decided to request the
master painters so meet the executive
committee of the wholesalers club next
Monday night when a conference will be
arranged between the two associations
and possibly some plan may be evolved
by which the strike may be brought to
close.
After the meeting adjourned Secretary
Magner spoke upon the situation quite
freely. He was Joined in thee onversation
by the chairman and members of the COM
mittee.
'srhere has been some informal talk, !"
he said, "of raising the price OF painting,
but that was not discussed at to-night's
meeting of the committee
what. then, is the ultimate aim OF the
conference?"
THAT has yet to be determined. though
1 have no doubt it is to put a stop to the
strike ii a feasible plan of action can be
devised"
Another member of the committee in
terrupted the secretary at this point and
explained that the proposition was to es-
tablish q "three-cornered arrangement"
among the journeymen painters, the mas
ter painters and the wholesale dealers in
painters supplies which would result in
peaceful conclusion of the present diff
Guilty. 1t may be that the price of paints,
etc., will be so arranged as to favor the
master painters, who will thus be enabled
to give their workmen concessions now de-
manded and still continue in business
with profit equal TO the old one. Any
how there is a distinct sentiment in favor
of meeting the strikers like men.

M'CORD FAVORS THE UNION
One Master Painter Who Would
Grant the Journeymen's
Demands

Mark L. McCord of 1871 Market street is
one member of the Master Painters Asso-
citation who favors granting all the union
demands, even including the card system.
With two others he made a hard though
unsuccessful fight for the union in the
meeting of the bosses last Tuesday night.
when their ultimatum discountenancing
the card system was promulgated. Mr..
McCord's enthusiasm is, however, likely
to be somewhat dampened, for though he
has championed the journeymen in sea-
son and out of season he was notified last
night that his men too would be called out
SIT doesn't seem quite the fair thing to
me-" said Mr.. McCord yesterday. "Here
1 have made these fellows fight and it
surely was not my fault that / could not
control the other sixty members; and yet
l am to be left in the lurch entirely. 1
would not care except that mine is inside
work, and the carpets are up and the
whole house torn up for this work. Three
days would finish it, too.
"But / am union man and always have
been, and / believe that the demands of
the journeymen are well within reason.
The other bosses seem to be very much
afraid of the card system, yet 1 be-
lieve it has worked we'll in other trades,
including the printers. So l believe their
demands are just, and | favor granting
them. However, a great majority of the
bosses are against me on that, and of
course, / shall stand by the association"

MAY BECOME GENERAL.
Building Trades Set In Motion the
Machinery for a General
Strike.

Strike.
The principal matter discussed at the
meeting of the Building Trades Council
last night was the painters strike. Dele
gates from the Painters Union explained
the situation and gave the necessary
notice that they would call upon all the
unions in the building trades to come out
in general strike to enforce the working
caro- system. The council s working-card
system will not go into effect until April l..
1t will be at least week before the stu
alton can be placed before the several
unions and answers received therefrom by
the council. In conformity to the council
rules the matter was referred to the inves-
tigating committee, consisting OF Saun-
ders, Mccartney, Bailey, Schuetz and
Burns, who will also look into the lathers'
strike for the same purpose.
Individually every member indorsed the
strike, but as representatives of unions
they were, much to their regret, obliged to
pursue the slower plan laid down in their
laws.
President Kerrigan of the Lathers' Union
asked the financial assistan ce of the coun-
Gil in the matter of the striking lathers
who were arrested for murder in the
Fourth-street troubles week ago. 1t was
decided 10 appoint as committee dele
gate from each union in the council to
investigate the murder charge before max
ing any recommendation to the union.

.REPUBL| leans IN HARMONY
The County Committee Is Pre-
pairing to Go Ahead With
the Primary.
A MAH0NEY-KELLY RUMOR.
RousiDg Republican Mass.Meeting in
the Forty first Last
Night.
MAH0NEY-KELLY RUM0R.

Local Republican affairs gave no new
developments yesterday. 1t was not
definitely decided when the County Com
mittee shall meet to issue the call for the
primary and otherwise perform the duties
imposed on it by the Congressional COM
mittees of the Fourth and Fifth districts.
AS the County Committee has officially
been given charge of the selection of dele
gates to the State Convention, and as the
committee will act in harmony in holding
primary in the regular way. the tangle
which followed the meeting of the State
Central Committee has been Strengthened
out in a. way that insures party success
and the practically unanimous approval OF
the Republicans of the City.
The County Committee will act as sort
of dual body, agreeing upon the same date
for the municipal primaries in the Fourth
and Fifth districts and upon the general
course of affairs, while the members
representing each district will constitute
separate bodies for the doing of official acts.
The Mahoney-Kelly committee of the
Fourth District, created by the use of two
forged proxies at snap meeting held IN
Senator Mahoney's rooms, has been qui-
escent for several days. 1t appears likely
ported yesterday that Senator Mahoney
and Martin Kelly had a plan to wait until
the date for the regular primary is an
nounced and then call a rival primary for
the same day.
Although practically the entire party in
the Fourth District approves the course OF
the regular committee and will recognize
the regular primary as the one which rep
resents the party and its best interests, it
is said that Mahouey and Kelly hope that
by naming delegation of prominent men
they may be able to seat portion OF them
in the State Convention, and so get some
thing for themselves out of the situation.
Meanwhile the leading Republicans of
the City and the masses of the party are
in increasing numbers expressing their
pleasure individually and in district and
club meetings all over the City at the out
come. The primary election will be held
in the regular way by the regular party
authority, and it will be fair and open
election, al which the voters will select
their delegates to the convention.

RICHMOND SEWERS.

The Board of Health Has Taken Action
in Regard to Their Condition.
The members of the Board of Health
are wondering how it is that the residents
of the vicinity OF Twelfth avenue and Cali
fornia street, who recently complained OF
the sewerage in that section, did not know
that Health Inspector called the next
day after the complaint was filed. and,
after confirming the reports of the bad
condition of the sewer, reported the mat
ter to the board as a nuisance. AS mat
ter of fact the subject was given immedi-
ate consideration by the board, and also
the Street Superintendent and the Board
OF Supervisors notified that the sewer was
in need OF repairs.
The complaint was received on March
IL, and on the following day a commu-
nication relative to the affair was in the
hands of the Supervisors.

Rescue of His Ministerial
Friend.

A. T. Ruthrauff sends the following
communication in defense of DR.. Pond:
Editor Call: In the interview with Mrs S. B.
Cooper, published this morning, in speaking
Of the members OF the council she says: ''They
did their duty, in view of ell the circum-
stances. I would make but one exception, and
that is DR.. Pond. His motive can no longer be
in question, if the newspaper expose be true
l wish TO state the newspaper expose or re-
ports purporting to give his opinions in regard
TO DR.. Browns guilt or innocence have not
been correct, especially those in a certain
evening paper. DR.. Ponds motives are known
TO be pure, not only in regard to the case con-
sidered by the council, but in regard to all
other matters. He attempted no leadership,
as has been stated. In fact, he took much
less active part in the discussions of the coun-
Gil than would naturally be expected from one
so prominent in the work of the Congrega-
tional churches of this coast
DR.. Pond was challenged on the first day of
the council by DR.. Brown, who believed that
he had been biased by call from Mrs. Cooper.
DR.. POND, rightly, was unwilling to concede
DR.. Browns guilt in advance. His actions
realized the grave responsibility resting upon
hem as a member of the council, and who was
resolved. by the help of Almighty God to de-
his whole duty in the matter
As motives are SO often impugned, want 1t

nor any one else has been consulted in regard
to this, but feel it but an act of justice to

that all might be amicably united in the

that all might be amicably united in the
campaign.
C. w. Kyle advised organization, har-
mony and proper leadership in districts,
and said that bimetallism and protection
are the fundamental principles of the
party and will be adhered to, no matter
what great Republican may be the party's
candidate.
Addle L. Ballou, president of the
Woman's Republican Club, aroused great
applause during her speech when she
declared: "Aa old bachelor kingdom
wouldn't be worth cent; an old maid
kingdom wouldn't be worth cent; it
takes union of men and women to make
a successful home, and they make the
Government. The woman is to be an
actor in the next campaign"
Silas White, principal of the Spring
Valley School, pledged himself publicly to
vote for woman suffrage at the very first
opportunity he should have, and then
created humorous furor by pointing to
placard OH the wall-"In God We Trust =
and exclaiming, How long would it take
to empty this room if either the Rainey or
the Buckley gang had that before them
They'd turn it toward the wall or leave
the hail. He concluded with a plea for
the new charter.
Field of the Thirty-seventh District cited
a particular instance of local firm that
had lost $150,000 in one year through the
repeal of the Mckinley tariff, and had to
release all its high salaried men to econo-
mize, thus causing unemployed men to
walk the streets. He asserted that every
Republican administration had paid, while
Cleveland's had borrowed $262, 900, 900
extra and still wanted more for admins
tration expenses.
Judge NJ Cooney, president of the Re-
publican Executive League, said This
club, as we'll as William Mckinley, will
heartily support the Republican party's
candidate, no matter who he may be-
He hoped that the next and the two or
three succeeding administrations might be
Republican, in order that enough money
| might be saved to pay off Cleveland's 8
debts.
Hon. Henry c. Dibbe crystallized the
purpose of the meeting in this phrase:
"Division and defeat; unity and success. !"
He then went on to say that "since the
second coming of Cleveland values have
shrunk 20 to 30per cent.
Hon. Frank II. Powers, Assemblyman
| from the forty-first in the course of his
stirring speech, said: ''The prophetic
finger of history indicates that Grover
Cleveland, like Buchanan before him, will
be the last Democrat for twenty-four years
to warm the chair
Jack Stevens in jovial way denied that
he had on the evening before, as quoted
In morning paper, SAID, III ladleS want
to do politics they must get in wild de
gang" He had simply remarked as he re-
peated again TO the women, Fellows. be
with us; we're with you." He explained
that a gaspipe cinch is cinch open at both
ends and that the Republicans would have
one in the next campaign if they would all
stand together.
Other speakers were DR.. Ayre President
Stone of the Union League Club, Major
Whiteside and Benjamin Tehlemann.
The Veteran Firemen's band early sur
prised the meeting with serenade and
followed it up with music after each speech.
