notable men. Mr. Carothers has
long been a leading lawyer, not only
in Chattanooga, but over the entire
State of Tennessee, He has written
several papers on the financial con
dition of the country, for the press,
that have caused many to pause
and think. He is the author Of the
"Fifty-Cent Dollar book of over
hundred pages, written on the
currency and coin of our country.
1t is one of the ablest books favora-
BILE to silver yet issued, gotten up
in good style and the diction is per-
feet. Mr., Carothers hascome here
for the purpose of associating him
self in the practice of law with
Messrs. ]. D. Cook and Minor Wal
lace, Mr.. Wallace being related to
him through marriage. We have
met the gentleman and we must
say we were more than pleased with
his address and easy manners, and
we believe he will make himself pop
ular from the start. We certainly
wish for him success in this, his new
home.

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 5-John Taylor,

he could There was struggle between
the two men, but Monroe held on until
assistance came. The first 10 arrive was
Mr. Dennison, the proprietor, and he was
quickly followed by several others. When
the burglar saw them ne ceased struggling

At the police station he was recognized
as the man who served short term in

brella. After being locked up be sent
word to Chief LLOYD from his cell tn at he
wished to make a confession, and in the
presence of the Chief and the detectives
he admitted that he had carried out
eighteen burglaries this fall. He seemed
to have good memory, and remem bered
the details OF each crime. He did not use
skeleton keys and never forced his way

in the morning at a time when there was
sure TO be several room doors open.

These figures represent vast amount,

themselves everything that was not

SUCCESS WITH TOBACCO,
San Leandro Board of Trade
Makes an Interesting Ex-
pertinent,
The First Crop Is Now Being Dried
and Is Pronounced to Be of
an Excellent Grade.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANc1sco CALL,


sos Broadway, Dec. s.
After many experiments, the San Lee
andre Board of Trade has proved the pos
sinility of raising tobacco in the vicinity
of San Leandro in sufficient quantities and
of such qualify as to make its cultivation
profitable.
When this industry was first mooted a
grave trouble faced the projectors OF the
movement. 1t was the difficulty of pro-
curing the services of man familiar with
the raising ard curing of tobacco. At
length the acquaintance was made of
Charles Napier of San Francisco. He at
once examined into the conditions OF soil
and climate at San Leandro, and reported
that both were favorable for the propaga-
ton of the weed
Some months ago he agreed to make a
trial and was thereupon furnished with
the necessary seed and ground.
A portion of the seed be planted on the
ground of ]. a. Gallet and a larger part on
the Hastings place. The seed sprouted and
the plant thr1ved, and i'll due time ripened.
The experiment was successful and now
about 300 pounds of fine looking tobacco
are undergoing the process of drying.
Mr.. Napier has carefully examined it and
Is confident that 1t can be successf fully
cured and will make an excellent grade
of tobacco. Mr.. Napier is also expert
menting at Haywards San Jose and Napa,
and in each case ne already sees sufficient
encouragement to warrant him in saying
that the tobacco growing industry can be
aided with pronounced profit to the
other industries of this State.

Time Politics.

Time Politics.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 5.-The Young
Mems Republican Club, which held
very stormy election last night, will not
be disrupted by the two factions who were
anxious 10 elect their men for president.
Although the struggle was keen it was not
bitter, and to-day all hands are treating
last nights scrimmage in the nature OF
good joke.
President Stetson, who was elected after
ex-Presdent Walsh had left the chair,
may have TO go through the formality OF
another election if it is shown that last
nights proceedings were irregular, but if
this be the case he will certainly be re-
elected, as it was proved coDclusively that
his friends are largely in the majority.
Harry Pulcifer, Stetson's rival, refused
to recognize the authority OF the meeting
at which MIR. Stetson was elected. But
there is no doubt that he will not push
his fight under the circumstances.
President Stetson has appointed the
following executive com mittee: First
Ward, John Mott and Oscar Breiling;
Third, Marston Campbell and j. /.
Palmer; Fourth, 0. J. Mullen and O..
Tobriner; Fifth, j. Cal Ewing and F. r.

Ex-President Walsh declares that he
will meet next week with his followers
and elect officers who will in reality be the
officers of the club. But it is generally
supposed that he will change his mind
before that time.

: The bridge across San Leandro Creek
: that was built by the electric railroad will
BE a scene of considerable interest during
1.-THE next few days. Its not at all unlikely
that court injunctions and armed watch
:. men will be necessary to protect the
bridge from being sawed asunder.
About five years ago, when the electric
road built the bridge, it purchased from
the. owner, David Moves, several feet of
:: his ground as a right of way. 1t was nee
. iessafy 10 acquire this land so that foot

'>'to enough land for their bridge, but not
. for the sidewalk, and that at the present
time the sidewalk is entirely upon his
:: property, and also that one OF the piers is
::sunk in his land. Some time ago he
recalled the attention of the company TO the
:alleged trespass, but the company did not
look on his claim with any degree of
: INERT nor accord him any satisfaction.

settlement. Five years possession of the

:, and Mr.. Moyes does not intend to sleep

The curtain-raiser was entitled "Seven

masked ball in an old Virginia dining
room, and the parts of He and She, which
were taken by Walter Starr and Miss Gen.
tennia Barto. We're highly amusing.
The farce was written by Walter Starr
'98, and was entitled 1.-THE Black Colt"
There was but one act, and it was verv
