TRIAL OF UNCLE GEORGE,
The Stolen Goat Is Now Fat.
tening on DR.. Pardee's

PANEL OF JURORS.
The Case Is on the Calendar for
Saturday Night at the
Macdonough.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Fp.vc7sco Cav,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,)
9O8 Broadway, Jan. 16.
For several days past Uncle George
Bromley of the Bohemian and several
other clubs has been preparing for his de-
tense against the charge of petit larceny
in stealing goat that has been preferred
against him. Uncle George has been in
many scrapes, but he confesses he sees less
hope OF getting out of this one without
some loss of dignity than out of the many
others. The trial IS arranged for Saturday
evening at the Macdonough Theater. as
Judge Woods courtroom would be far too
plebeian for the social aggregation which is
anxious to see Uncle George "sent down"
for few days, so that the enforced absence
from his Office work will enable him to add
couple of new variations to his favorite
recitation, ''When the Cows Come Home"
According to the complaint George
Bromley was driving through the Watts
Tract in North Oakland on New Years
day. On passing the house of Widow
OGrady Uncle George was regaled by the
lady with glass of goats milk, and in re-
turn for the kindness he showed his graft
tude by stealing her goat. Uncle George
has set up in his answer that the goat was
giving such poor milk that it would not
stand the Babcock test, and that to prevent

OF the various buildings with reference to
the lighting plant, it was decided to run
an arc line from the Mechanics building TO
that section OF the campus near the Scenic
Park, and then down through the gardens
to the proposed new Center-street en-
trance. Lights will be located at inter
mediate points along this line. Poles will
be placed at various points over the
campus where lamps are needed.
The library will have incandescent lights
IN every alcove. There will be no lights,
however, in the art gallery until some
later date. All the other buildings are to
be equipped with complete incandescent
system.
The 100 settees which Regent Reinstein
secured for the grounds from friend OF

his name published were distributed over

THE BALFE-MOORE CLUB,
New Literary and Musical Soci-
ETY. of Prominent Irish.
men.
Founded on Principles Similar to
Those of the Notable Par.
liamentary Club.

A number of gentlemen prominent in
Irish literary and social circles of this City
have organized the Balfe-M Moore Club with
the avowed purpose of promoting Irish
and American music and literature. Their
object also includes the giving of select
social entertainments.
A large number of those engaged in this
NOV vement were formerly active mem bers
OF the Irish Parliamentary Club, and the
popularity of the balls and other social
gatherings given under the auspices OF
that club has prompted them to make such
social gatherings special feature in the
programme OF this new society.
On Shrove Tuesday evening, February
18, the club will make its first appearance
at Metropolitan Temple.
The programme on that occasion will
consist OF an address on ''Balfe and
Moore" by William Greer Harrison, and q
grand vocal and instrumental concert OF
Irish music.
The club has already secured several OF
the best artists of the City. Its first con-
cert will be devoted to Irish music-chiehy
selections from Balfe and Moore-but its
second entertainment, which will take
place at an early date, will be entitled
"An Evening With Longfellow," and will
embrace an address on the poet and a con-
cert of American music.
The proceeds of the first entertainment
will be presented to the Sisters of the Holy
Cross OF St. Charles parish. whose work
among the poor in the Mission has en-
deared them to the people OF that district.
Prominent among those interested in
this newly formed club are: David J. Cos

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, Jan. 16. !
A few weeks ago an Indictment was re-
turned by the Grand Jury against Edward
McFadden of Alameda for alleged frauds
in stuffing the school census returns in
Alameda.
The trial was on the calendar to-day.
and many ladies were present to testify.
The case has caused good deal of inter-
est, because the stuffing of school census
returns would result in the obtaining of a
larger appropriation from the State than
the city is entitled to. A jury was secured,
and L. A. Ballantyne, the Census Marshal,
was put on the stand, and after the intro
duction of some books, the defense made
an objection to the further hearing OF the
case that somewhat startled the prosecu-
tion and the court.
The objection was made on the ground
that it had not been shown that the law
contemplated such an Office as that of
Deputy Census Marshal. The District
Attorney, after some consideration, said
they were unable to produce any proof as
to the authorization of such an Office, and
Judge Greene admitted that he could find
nothing affirmative in the code.
The defendants attorney held that if no
such office existed a person could not be
punished for any act performed while
discharge of the defendant, and the Dis
trict Attorney not obiecting, McFadden
was set at liberty, and the large number
of witnesses from across the estuary, who
had wasted much time before the Grand
July some time ago, were discharged.

over his Imprisonment" said DR.. Jones
to-day. II know him well, and he is too
well posted on the way politics are run by
the Boer Government to feel alarmed.
We met frequently, and there is not a
jollier American in South Africa. He
owns considerable mining property, but it
would be a hard job to confiscate it, for
there is peculiar fashion in vogue in the
Transvaal
knowing how unstable the Boer Gov
eminent is the Americans and English
take precautions against surprises. The
deeds TO property are often held by two or
three people, so that in case of .attem pied
conhscatlon the ownership could never be
determined by the Government. 1t is not
at all surprising that 4 few were arrested,
and l am surprised so many are yet free.
Amencans and English are the same there
as everywhere else, and frequently when
little hilarious they will enter a public
hotel or place Of amusement and give ut
terance to the most reasonable senti-
ments.
Then the Boer police will attempt to
make some arrests and will always get the
worst of 1t, for the Beers do not care for
fist fights, while the white people do. l
am expecting to hear every day of the ar
rest of an American named Manning He
is the most outspOken fellow in Pretoria
ana Is always the leaQer IN anything
against the Beers. He is, however. inter-
ested in stocks, and as President Kruger
is also interested in stocks, perhaps Man
ming is safe.
"The Boer officials have learned from the
English and Americans the game of bluff
The arrest of these men Is only big bluff
Joubert and Kruger are adopts at the art,
and one look at Joubert's face will show
that he is man OF high order of intellect.
He is Just the man TO advise the arrest
OF lot OF white people for the sake OF Civ
ing Germany an opportunity to come in.
He never intended TO shoot them, but will
keep them IL prison for time to intimi-
date others. Joubert moves slowly and
viii not be caught mapping. He is as brave
as a lion and as polite as knave. The
prisoners will probably be sentenced to
banishment. That means nothing as there
are many banished people III the Trans
vasI. A visit to President Kruger is more
powerful than an edict of banishment"

Rev. Father McNally read the mass, as

! spoke few words. ''It is impossib ble," he
said, ''to express my profound respect for
| him who lately was among US. Nor can [
] find words to express the sympathy for
/ the bereft family. In our late brother the
church lost a Jealous, conscientious
worker, the world lost brave, active,
honest and upright business man, and the
family lost a kind and considerate father

whom we now mourn lived up to his belief.
| Though your sorrow is great at losing
such man, yet your comfort should be
great in the remembrance of his grand and
noble character.
He lived a pure, unblemished life in
this world. Now he has gone on high to
take that place which is awaiting him.

nounced the prayers for the dead the body

ALAMEDA SCHOOL CENSUS,
MCFadden Too Lazy and Indif:
ferent to Properly Take
the Names.
Encinal Ministers to Get Up a Mass.
Meeting to Sympathize With
Armenia.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 16.-The dis
charge from custody of Edward McFad-
den recalls the scandal in the school
census taken in Alameda in 1894. The
rolls were found to be badly stuffed in that
part of Alameda which was canvassed by
McFadden. There was no mistake about
that, but it was the result of laziness and
indifference rather than hope of pecuniary
gain. Instead of laboriously making the
rounds and getting the census exact he
took the say-so of neighbors or guessed at
it. He was indicted by the Grand Jury,
but kept out of the way of arrest for a
time A domestic complication finally
put him in the hands of the authorities,
however He neglected to support his
family here, and his wife put the officers
on his trail When his case came up for
trialit was thrown out of court. 1t was
found that he was never legally consti-
tuted a deputy census marshall" his ap-
pointment having been made by Census
Marshal Ballentine, who had no authority
to appoint.
Sympathy With Armenia.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 16.-Some of the
Alameda ministers are moving to organize
an auxiliary to the Armenian Relief
Society, whose headquarters are in New

odist.
Rev. Mr.. Bovard will preach next Sun
day on the Armenian outrages. He will
have at hand maps and diagrams to illus
trate the subject.
A Pair of Runaways.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 16.-Two boys
were found by Policeman Lawrence sleep
Ing in the little open station building at
Webster street last Thursday night, They
gave their names as Monnell and Thomp-
son, and told plausible story-how they
had come to Alameda from San Francisco
with the mother OF one of them, became
accidentally separated from her and then
got lost. They were brought to the police
office and on the following morning inquiry
was made which developed they had not
told the truth. The name of one was Gray
and the other Mugan. Gray's father came
for his son, but did not know the other boy.
The boys ran away from home, and when
they landed in Alameda they had but 10
cents between them.
A New Church.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 16.-Work will
soon be commenced on new building for
the First Christian Church. Rev. Henry
Victor Morgan announces that favorable
answers have been received from the

which makes a business of aiding new
churches to build, and very soon work will
be commenced on the lot recently pur-
chased at the northeast corner of Park and
San Jose avenues.

Object to the Ordinance.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 16.-A fight is
about to be instituted against the town Or
dinance recently passed which provides
pations. Among those who are TO be as
sessed are merchants and teamsters, and
they are the ones who are about to begin
concerted action against the new law. A
meeting has been called for next Saturday
evening at w. D. Schmidt's office on Shat
tuck avenue, at which those affected by
the ordinance will outline plans for pro-
testing it. The main arguments against
the measure seem to be that the average
teamster and merchant has a hard enough
time to support families without being
taxed for the privilege OF so doing.
To Consider the Bond Problem.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 16.-The West
Berkeley Progressive Club has appointed a
committee TO attend the special meeting OF
the Good Government Club to be held
next Saturday evening for the purpose of
discussing the merits of the coming bond
elections. The appointment was made at
the request of the Good Government Club,
which is desirous of harmonizing the
various sections of the town so that said
elections will carry. The committee ap-
pointed consists of c.. H. Spear, Town
Trustee Hoff and Ed Neihaus. They pur-
pose stating at the meeting West Berke-
ley s reasons for wanting a wharf.
Nuisances to Be Abatcd.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 16. = Next
Monday, Sanitary Inspector Thompson
VIII commence an inspection OF the block
bounded by Dana street, Bancroft way,
Telegraph avenue and Allston way.
Numerous complaints have been entered
from this section of nuisances caused by
the Keeping OF cattle and the lack of proper
attention TO sewers.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 16.-William
Wlttland, the defaulting cashier of the
Changers Bank in San Francisco, was a
resident OF Berkeley, where he had lived
Tor several years past with his family on
University avenue. The theory is ad-
Yanced here that he has committed sui
eide as no trace of his whereabouts has
yet been reported.
Too Much Water.
BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 16.-Tbe rain
fell in such torrents last night that the
sewer on Holyoke street was not large
enough to carry off the water. This
morning it broke, and the neighborhood
was soon flooded. A force of men under
the Superintendent of Streets repaired the
damage after considerable effort

Across the Bay.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 16 = Deputy
Sheriff Quinlan arrested All 10y at Fruit
vale last night with forty five-tael cans OF
unstamped opium in his possession. In
formation was sent to the Sheriff's Office
some weeks ago that there was a cooking
plant somewhere in the vicinity of San
Leandro. Quinlan was on the lookout and
saw the Chinaman board the car at Fruit
vale, when he arrested him. He examined
his pack and was rewarded by finding the
contraband dope and accompanied the
coolie to the County Jail.
Some time ago the United States
Revenue Agents located an opium cooking
outfit on creekbed near Iryington. The
theory of the officers is that the crude stuff
is smuggled across the bay in boats, run
into some of tho sloughs, and after being
refined is sent back to Chinatown in San
Francisco to be sold. The Deputy Sheriff
will reap handsome reward for his can
ture.

A THOUSAND OBJECTIONS.
They Are Being Agreed Upon by Water
Front Attorneys.

AIIoEHeySs
OAKLAND, CAL. Jan. 16-The attor-
neys engaged in the waterfront cases are
holding long consultations every day, set
tling the many hundreds of objections to
the motion of new trial proposed by the
railroad attorneys.
About HOO of these objections have been
gone over and an agreement reached upon
nearly all of them. There is about one
more weeks work to be done, and at the
eud of that time it is believed there will
have been an agreement upon nearly 1900
out of the 400. The remainder will have
to be argued before Judge Ogden. The
citys appeal in reference to small pieces
of water front excepted from the general
division will be perfected in about two
weeks, and the railroads appeal on the
main issues will be finished up in couple
of months. All the waterfront cases will
go upon the calendar of the Supreme
Court for next July.
