politicians, and although at one time there
were ten members of the committee to be
seen, when the roll was called 1t was evil
dent that Job had been put up to defeat
the reorganizers. as only seven answered
to their names. The other three had van
lshed and could not be found.
The present county committee is COM
posed as follows: Alameda, F. J. Fetter;
Brooklyn, J. H. w. Riley; Eden, B. c.
Hawes; Murray. Y. Z. Bernal; Oakland,
J. w. Striker; Washington, w. II. Ford
First Ward, Phil NJ. Walsh; Second Ward,
j, Mitchell; Third Ward A L. McPher-
son; Fourth Ward, r. w. Church; Fifth
Ward, B. F. Armstrong; Sixth Ward,
Charles Mautalen; Seventh Ward, j. w.
Evans.
When the roll was called Fletter, Hawes,
Mitchell, Mcpherson. Armstrong, NJ auta-
len and Evans were present. Messrs.
Walsh, Bernal and Striker had been seen
previously, and the other members were
not in town.
Chairman Mautalen announced that
there was no quorum present, as the rules
recently adopted require eight members to
transact business. Several members
claimed that a majority was sufficient, but
the chairman said that a special rule took
precedence over general rules. This was
questioned, and the secretary read from
the book rule g. 1t stated clearly that not
less than eight members should form
quorum, and SO few minutes were al
lowed to elapse in hope that the eighth man
might come in; but the plans had been too
carefully laid. Church was sick and in
bed, Riley was busy at the courthouse, Ford
missed the train from Niles, and Walsh,
Bernal and Striker forgot about the meet
ing at the last minute and did not recover
their memories till Chairman Mautalen
bad declared the meeting adjourned sine
die.
The county committee is in position
now that is not at all uncommon IN Ala
media County politics. Chairman Maui
talen has not sufficient votes to re-elect
him chairman if full board were present,
but he has just enough to prevent quo
rum from getting together and ousting
him. J. w Evans controls enough votes
to elect him, but not enough to form
quorum. How long the deadlock may
continue not a politician on the street can
be induced to say. One vote will change
the whole situation, but even then the
blocking of quorum will prevent reor-
ganiZatlon.

The finding of the will OF the late Ida
Duffy is the last chapter in life to which
fate seemed to be particularly unkind.
Several years ago Andrew Duffy her hus-
band, who is now serving a term in San
Quentin, was a well-known Oakland poll
tician. Among the street-corner set his
word carried weight, and he was a boss
whose friendship was more to be desired
than his enmity.
About ten years ago Duffy met Miss Ida
Lussier, young lady who had already
contracted an early marriage that had
proved unfortunate, and she had resumed
her maiden name. Miss Ida's first hus-
band was a man of means named Meyers,
but before she was long a wife her husband
died. When Ida met Andy Duffy she still
had some money left, and the pair opened
the Palace cigar-store on Seventh street.
Here Mrs. Duffy attended to the business
and her husband did politics.
After the birth of a blind son Mrs. Duffy
and her husband went to Tracy, and Mrs.
Duffy went insane and was sent to Ag-
news. Some time later she was pronounced
cured and went to live at Stockton. All
went well for while until a man came
across their path and aroused the jealousy
OF Duffy by his marked attentions to his
wife. On one occasion there was a quarrel
between the two men, and Duffy In ft of
jealousy killed the man who was pursuing
his wife. For this crime he was sent to
the penitentiary for a long term. His wife's
insanity returned and she was again sent
to Agnews, where she recently died. The
boy is now at the Berkeley Blind Asylum.
Thousands OF Oaklanders remember the ex
citable Duffy and the really beautiful
young woman whom he married and who
ran the Seyenth-street cigar-stand.

Park-street Methodist Church, wherein he
denounced the clubs OF Alameda as "man-
traps" Rev. Mr.. Morgan's congregation
holds its services every Sunday in rooms
adjoining those occupied by Alameda's
only club. He is expected to have some
thing to say in defense of this club, and to
see something good in the general club

lutely as being corrupting and demoraliz-
ing. His subject is announced to be.
