The San Francisco call., 1896-11-04

twenty years it has been customary to see
the kid-gloved electors of this fashions ole
territory gallantly led to the polls by the
RIO OF English brothers. So quiet was it
IN this ward that not even dog dared to
bark. But the appearance of harmony
was deceitful. For the first time in the
English history the three brothers voted
not the same ticket. John English sided
with Warren and perhaps voted the BRYAN
electoral ticket, as they certainly did the
Warren B. Congressional ticket. William
D., however, athouah it is probably only
generous to suppose that he gave vote to
his brother for Congress, wore gold
badge and SO far as the Presidential vote
is concerned was on the other side of the
fence from his esteemed brethren.
In the interior of the county a large vote
was polled, but nothing exciting was re :
ported. The main fights were those Of
Supervisor and AssembIyman, especially
in Eden Township, where Thomas D.
Wells, who succeeded in polling a larger
vote in this county than MIR. Morehouse at
the last election for stare Equalizer. was
running strongly against the Republican
candidate. f. G. Jarvis.
Interest in local fights died out entirely
about o'clock, when some of the earIy
returns from the East were posted on the
local bulletin boards. The quiet of the
day was broken up and vast crowds gath
cred wherever they couldeee or hear any
news from the great battlefield in the
East. For several hours the popuiace was
as the wrist of a patient in the hand of a
physician. The crisis was reached and the
verdict was awaited breathlessly.

SEEKING A PARK SITE.

Oakland Board OF Trade Going About

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,)
90S Broadway, November 3.
The park committee of the Oakland
Board of Trade is now undertaking the
actual work necessary to procure an
appropriate public park for this city.
e. c. Sessions. James P. Taylor, NJ. J.
Keller, d. E. Collins and A. d. Pryal have
the matter in hand. Before they take any
further steps they are anxious to be in
formed of all the available sites.
The following circular was issued to-
day, and will doubtless be the means of
inducing many persons to send the COM
mittee the desired information:
The Oakland Board OF Trade, having after
much careful consideration concluded that
the time has arrived when, for various reasons,
it Is expedient for the city OF Oakland to ac-
quire public park OF ample dimensions, say
500 acres, more or less, with suitable ap-
proaches thereto, in the suburbs of the city or
in the vicinity thereof, the committee charged
with the duty of securing propositions are
now ready to receive and do hereby solicit
proposals from owners of real estate suitable
for this purpose.

FOOL |SH TRAIN ROBBERS,
Told the Engineer to Run Ahead
and He Forgot to Come
Back.
Then He Gave the Alarm and the
Robbers Took to the Brush
Without Any Booty.

FORT WORTH, TEX, Nov. 3.-From
those on the northbound Katy train,
due at 9:15 P. M, but which arrived late
one hour last night, the details of a hold
up at Alvarado were learned. 1t was a
comedy of errors. Nothing was secured
by the would-be robbers, either from the
United States mail, express or passen-
gers.
The robbers, three in number, tagged
the train about mile south of Alvarado.
When it stopped they made the train por-
ter, with persuasive eloquence of leveled
six-shooters, cut the baggage, mali and
express cars from the rest of the train
These cars were moved forward a little
and then the robbers tried to force the ex-
press messenger to open the car. He re-
fuse d.. Then the engineer was ordered to
run his train forward far enough to get
good start back into the standing cars at
full speed, and thus smash in the express
car SO 1t could be entered.
Gail right" said the engineer, shut as
me and my fireman will jump as soon as
we get her under good speed backing, you
had better go back to the coaches and
wait until the smash comes. If you don't
you stand a good chance of being killed."
They did not want to be killed. They
wanted to get the money in the express
car. They took the engineers advice and
waited. The engineer pulled ahead to get
his distance, forgot to stop, and went on
ahead until he got to Granville. Tele-
grams were sent out for aid in capturing
come alarmed and taken to the brush.
Afterward the engine was backed down,
and the train proceeded on its Journey
with about one hours delaV.

HfeKBiEDERs IN CHICAGO.
San Francisco Methods of Extortion Not
Tolerated by the Police of the
Lake Cify

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. Sit is thought
at the Central police station that the Chi
cago highbinders' feud which has terror
lied the Chinese quarter of San Francisco
has reached Chicago, and Inspector Fitz-
patrick is taking action to promptly sup
press any trouble that may arise among
the 1900 subjects OF the Emperor of China
who reside in this city.
Several days ago Chinaman named
Soong Gee Tong secured a warrant for the
arrest of Holy Woy, who had, Soong
claimed, embeZzled some money from him
two years ago. When Woy was taken tn
the station he declared he was the victim
of highbinders. He said he left Chicago
two years ago and went to Pittsburg,
where he opened a laundry. He made
money, and few days ago started to re-
turn to China to get married and live in
comfort. The highbinders, he claims
thought he knew too much of their meth
DDS to be allowed to tell them at home,
especially as the Emperor had threatened
to decapitate all relatives of the highbind-
ers in China. They therefore sent Tong
to Chicago to have Woy arrested and thus
prevent him from returning home.
Inspector Fitzpatrick believes the Chi
naman is telling the truth. and says if he
finds there are highpinders in Chicago
they will have 10 leave town.

Mons. Charles f. Brouard, member of

He is touring the world, having started

$4,000 francs, or $4,000, that he will be

Brouard now, for he showed the contents

Yet he has compassed great deal of the

Colonel Garrity is making the fight Of his
life. He believes that there are always a
number of voters who hesitate to make
choice until they get the rubber stamp in

make him their choice for Superior Judge.
1t meant great deal of work, but the
colonel was equal to it and went about
his task as good -naturedly as though he
were making speech before friendly
society. He seemed to have many friends
and was very much in evidence, but, of
course, this was no indication of what the
ballot-box might reveal.

Promises.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 3.-More of

deemed last evening at the Academy when

memb bers Of his company were heard for
the first time.
Nine. Harriclee- Darclee made distinct
success. Her voice. though trife husky
in the opening last night. is normally
clear and pure, and she is generally accu-
rate in intonetion. In quality it is metal
lie and not intrinsicalfy sympathetic,
though her art as an actress supplied its
deficiencies in that respect in the pathetic
scenes of the second act. Her voice has,
however, some really beautiful notes. and
is very thoroughly trained.
Her execution OF difficult passages was
recognized by hearty applause, and by
the more deliberate and monumental
"foral tributes" under whicn the ushers
labored down the aisle and which they
finally capsized into the orchestra.
The tenor OF the occasion, Signor Betti
made, it was announced, his first appear
ance on any stage. The announcement
was not incredible. Though it was plain
that he had pleasant and weil-trained
voice, and that as concert performance
his singing of the music of Alfredo
would have been very acceptable he has
not as yet found himself on the stage. In
the first act his nervousness affected his
singing, which was notably more effective
when he was behind the scenes than when
he was in front OF them. But, although
In the subsequent scenes he was able TO
do himself more justice as singer, the
efforts of dialogue and perceptress did not
suffice to make him really personate
Alfredo. Siguor Ughetto gave conscien-
tious and not very noteworthy Go-mont.
