Tho sheriR outmitted.

Here is story of how a clever Kentucky
woman outwitted a Sheriff, as told by q
correspondent at the classic town of Pine
top, in that State: A short time ago q
leading Deputy Sheriff of Letcher County
only a short distance from here, had a
claim for taxes against citizen of Mill
Creek, amounting 10 so cents, and as the
citizen was a desp rate character the
deputy induced brave man 10 go with
him, both being armed to the teeth. Ar
irving at their destination, the deputy de-
manded his money, but the citizen in
formed him that he did not have it.
The deputy proceeded to levy on a cow,
and started TO drive the 'criIter" off, when
the citizens wife prevailed on him to stay
and take dinner with them. After dinner,
being in happy and kindly mood, he in
vited the citizen and wife to make him q
visit, and as ne was about to taks his
leave the gentle wife told him she had a
settlement to make with him.
"Wha-what settlement do you refer to,
MADAME"
"You have not paid for your dinner.
sir?' she replied.
"Ohl why, certainly: Wh-whats my
BILL my good womanP"
'One dollar, if you please"
He wrote receipt for the taxes and
gave it to her, with 20 cents, and returned
home sadGer but wiser man.-Buffalo

REAL ESTATE
MARKET REVIEW
No Sales of Special I'm
portance Reported Dur
ing the Week.
Activity in Building Still Con.
tinues in All Sec ions of
the City.
Holders Are Stubborn in r gard to
Their Iieas of Value and R.fuse
TO Maxi Concessions.

The week has developed nothing of special
importance in real-estate matters. Every
thing of a cheerful character peryades the
surroundings, and the impression among
brokers is that this summer will prove to be
the best, from resl-estate standpoint, that
we hsve had since the hoom OF 1890.
Building is in progress in all directions and
some of it is OF magnificent and costly char
acter. House materials have been so abun-
dant and cheap during the past year or so that
the temptation TO build has been hard TO re-
sist when there has been an intention to do
such work.
There is increasing inquiry for well-located
property at the various agencies, yet the
amount of actual trading is far from being
considerable. This anomaly is easily ex-
planned by the fact that bargains are still be-
ing looked for with lingering fondness while
holders are stubborn in regard TO their ideas
OF value and positively decline TO make con-
cessions on asking prices.
This is another indication that property
owners are not lacking in faith and conf
dence, being well content TO anchor their
money in real estate in preference to any
other kind OF security.
According to Wolfe's Building Review the
record of building operations for the month
OF March during the past ten years is as fol-

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9OS Broadway, April 4.
A perfectly feasible plan of dispensing
with one drawbridge, and one in close
touch with President Huntington's syste.
matte policy Of railway management. is
submitted by Thaddeus s. Fiicn OF this
City. He proposes to run the broad and
narrow gauge boats from the foot of Mar
ket street to their resp ctive piers on this
side OF ths bay. as at present, with the
short additional run between the pier:
to complete the triangle-one boat to run
from Market street to Oakland pier
thence to the Alameda mole and back to
San Francisco, the other boat to run on
the opposite course, viz. from Market
street to the Alameda mole, thence to the
Oakland pier and back to the starting
point, passing one another a long dis
tance apart and thereby lessening the risk
of collision in fogsy weather.
BY this plan it is believed that three
boats could perform the service now re.
quired of four.
The very light expense of laying a third
rail from Pacific avenne station on the
narrow-gauge roadD bel to the end of the
mole would connect the piers of the Ala.
media road-guage line and the Oakland
Seventh-street line, forming q horseshoe
bend at or near High street. All broad
gauge trains could thus run in opposite
directions from pier to mole around the
horseshoe track through Alameda, Fruit.
vale and Seventh street, Oakland, and
vice versa.
This would involve long and short
trip, differing in time only TWO or three
minutes on the boats only, instead of fif-
teen or twenty minutes on the trains as
proposed by Engineer von Schmidt in
The CALL of March 81. Passengers could.
however, avail themselves of the swing
around the all-rail circle If they chose for
such a trip would doubtless become yery
popular.
The abandonment of the narrow.gauee
trains over a drawbridge into Oakland
would necessarily follow, but the addi-
tional trips on the Seventh street line.
together with the increased comfort and
novelty OF taking the train going in either
direction and avoiding the tedious wait at
stations, would more than compensate
for the loss OF the short line from First to
Fourteenth streets. The present run OF
the narrow-gauge trains through Aiamed a
need not be interfered with.
All broad-gauge trains would then run
in opposite directions from pier to mole
around the horseshoe track through Ala.
media to High street. Fruitvale, and Sew.
enth street, Oakland, and return. The
Alioe-street drawbridge could be dispensed
with, while the Webster-street structure
could stand and serve the purpose for
which it was built.
