OAKLAND, CAL, April 5.-The road
side house owned by Mrs. Holt was totally
destroyed early this morning by fire.
Mrs. Holt and a servant lived in the
house, and about o'clock they were
reused by the noise of burning tim bers.
They discovered that their rooms were
full of smoke, and they had only time to
pa rtially robe before flames drove them
out.
The fire had made such headway be-
fore it was discovered that nothing could
be done to arrest its progress. Mrs. Holt
and servant rushed into the road and
watched everything burn, meanwhile con-
with their lives. The house is situated
about halfway between Haywards and
Decoto. The damage is about $4,000 and
the origin unknown.

STILL NO AGREEMENT.
Long Distance TeIephonists at Outs
With the Council

The assembly committee on streets
met yesterday afternoon and further
considered the proposed ordinance
granting franchise to the long dis
lance telephone company, known as
the American Telegraph and Telephone
company, to use the streets of this CITY.
At the meeting of the committee a
week ago Monday, Mr.. Johnston the
representative of the company. de-
cllned to accept an ordinance proyid-
Ing that the company should pay the
city $500 year for a franchise.
Mr.. Johnson again protested that 1t
was unfair for the city to charge the
telephone company compensation for
a franchise. Mr.. Johnson had called
at the state auditors office and as
certained, in looking over the reports
on the various telegraph and telephone
companies In the state, that they were
paying their full share Of taxes.
Therefore no extra charge ought to be
made. Mr.. Johnson contended that
the city should not charge a telephone
company a fee for the privilege of
transacting business any more than it
charged a grocer or any other class of
business men. Streets were intended
for the transmission of intelligence as
well as for travel. If the state or city
afterwards decided to tax the fran,
chise. his company would not object.
Mr.. Reardon moved that a consider.
alton Of $500 year be exacted from
the telephone company, but Mr.. John
son Informed the committee that it
would be of no avail to pass the ordin-
ance, as his company would never ac-
cept such an ordinance. The commit
tee then laid over the ordinance until
It's next regular meeting.
