THE ASPECT 1T BEARS TO ALL
HONORABLE AND IMPAIR
TIAL MEN.

The narrow escape OF the Republi-
can party from naming negroes for the
Legislature, and the contemplate
breach of faith involved in it, reveals
to the intelligent and impartial observer
in their true colors the bad and dangerous
influences into whose final keeping the
affairs of our good old State may ire
vocably pass, if the present, and prob
ably the last, opportunity is not finally
and vigorously availed OF. But all fair
minded men, capable of discriminating
between the shadow and the substance,
will fail to see any greater Improperly
or humiliation in having the laws en-
acted and administered by the negroes
themselves than by the little band OF
white men who in several OF the coun-
ties have for rs years kept the negroes
banded solidly together as political
machine under the inspiration OF the
vilest prejudices against white mans
government" insidiously instilled into
their ears.
Nor will the intelligent locker on fail
to note the full significance OF the
shrewd suggestion on the part of the in
dependent press" which was relied on
by the Republicans, that it is only the
present emergency in contending with
the formidable and much-feared Cor
man Machine" that makes the naming
Of colored lawmakers inexpedient. 1t
goes without saying that when the
Democratic organization is broken
down by mother defeat at this critical
time, and the Republicans are placed
in practically undisputed control OF the
State, that negroes in the Legislature
and all the other concomitants of scala
wag rule will follow as the night the
day. The history OF that kind of domin
alton in the other Southern States, dur
ing the short period that it was toler-.
ated there, affords sufficient proof OF
this.

funds with which to pay them. general
howl followed and the Commissioners met
in session yesterday to settle the matter.
Chadbourne presented his side of the case
and then Major Harvey poured oil on the
troubled waters. He pointed out that
each of the contractors had been working
under ditficul ties, and when the represen-
latives of the various firms got up and
promised to do better Commissioner Chad
bourne agreed to sign the warrants for
last months work. Extra men have been
put to work and the chances are the de-
pot will be completed and dedicated before
the new year. In that event the names
OF Colnon, Chadbourne and Harvey will
appear on the corners tone, and there will
thus be one Repu blican's name which Will

chances are, however, tnat Chad bourne
will be euchered, and the only names
which will appear on the column next

On March she ran into hurricane and
the vessel was thrown on her beam ends,
the hulwarks were carried away, sails
were blown from the gaskets, every thing

From

Mrs. Matte Mason, who has been STOP
ping with a family named Ford at 2l3
Twelfth street for some time, has disar

has ended her life.
Mrs. Mason, who is the wife of ]. A.
Mason of Grass Valley, deserted him
about two weeks ago and went to live
with the Fords. After being there a few
days she told them she had procured en-
ployment and disappeared for two or
three days. On Tuesday of laso week she
agaln put in her appearance and on
wednesday packed up her belongings,
saying she was going back to her husband
IN Grass Valley. A few days later her
daughter, living In this City, received
letter from her intimating that she would
commit suicide, and since then she has
not been heard from. She is in a partly
demented condition, and when she disap-
peared was almost penniless.

ANOTHER FAULTY LAW.
The Supreme Court Punches a
Big Hole in the Clark
Road Bill.
A Very Fine Point Made in Deciding
a Mandamus Case From
Alameda County.

The Supreme Court has punched an
other hole in one of the laws enacted by
the late Legislature. The Clark road law was
introduced by Asse m byman Clark Of Ala
media, and provided for the election OF
boards of trustees to take charge OF all
road matters, the law to go into effect
sixty davs after approval. This time fell
on May 81 of this year. 1t also provided
that the election of trustees should take
place on the last Saturday of May. By
strange fate the asst Saturday Of May fell
on the Goth, or two days before the new
law was to 60 into effect. The Supervisors
of Alameda County construed this TO mean
that the election should be held, on the
date set OF the next year.
On this conclusion they proceeded TO go
on with the road work under the old law
and directed the superintendent of the
Piedmont road district to have certain
work done that amounted to about $50.
The work was performed by several men,
VIII assigned their claims for the pay ment
for the work to Fred A. Davis, who upon
receiving the order for the money from
the Supervisors applied to the County
Auditor for the warrant. This the Auditor
refused to give and Davis applied to the
Supreme Court for writ of mandate to
compel the Auditor TO issue the warrant.
The Supreme Court decided the matter
yesterday, but in order TO do SO it had to
resort to what might be called hair split
ting. AS stated the whole thing hung on
the matter of precedence. The first was
to find when the Governor signed the two
bills, and it seems the Governors sigma
ture was affixed to both bills on the same
day. The next move was search which
developed the fact that the Clark road law
was recorded on page 374 of the statutes of
1897 and that the county government bill
appears on page 452 of the same statutes.
AS the latter repealed all previous acts
the Supreme Court decided that the Clark
road law does not hold in this case. In
fact it was virtually repealed by the form
er act. Consequently the writ Of mandate
was issued as prayed for by MIR. Davis and
big hole was made in the much-talked-
of Clark road law. This decision is likely
to effect many of the other counties in
the State.

Thomas Cruise, a carpenter living at
139 Guerrero street, was before the In

but the hearing of the case was postponed
till his brother reached the City in day
or two.
Kruse had been acquainted for some
months with Miss Esther Mackie, $40

James Mackie. She was alone in the
house Tuesday morning, when Cruise
made his appearance. The front door
was locked, but Uruse broke open the
door, and on Miss Mackie hurrying along
the hallway TO see what was the matter
Cruise seized her by the throat and en-
deavored to drag her down the stairway
to the cellar, at the same time shouting
for some one to bring him an ak, as he
meant to Kill her.
The lady's loud screams attracted the
attention of men from Buckman's camp.
who ran to her assistance. When they
reached the hou,e Cruise was dragg ing
Miss Mackie into the basement, where he
knew an AK was kept. The men made q
rush upon the mad man and threw him to
the floor. He struggled desperately, bui
was held till the police were nci1fied, and
he was sent to the Receiving Hospii al,
where he was locked up in padded cell.
Mss Mackie is now suffering from
nervous prostration due to the shock, bu.
was able to be around yesterday.
Previous to his attack upon Miss Mackie,
Cruise had terrorized the neigh Dofhood.
He attacked a man on Guerrero street,
and throwing him down attempted TO
beat his brains out by humping his head
on the hard pavement. The man was
rescued Just as Cruise was dragging him
in the direction of the car-tracks as an
electrician was approaching.

his friends to the want CT sleep For sew

his dying mother and for three or four
nights had been without any sleep. He is
devotedly attached to her, and The con-
slant strain shattered his mind.
The doctors at the hospital say that
Cruise is suffering from acute mania caused
by lack OF nourishment and want of sleep.
In other words he Is a raving maniac and

CAPTURING AN ELEPHANT.
Something About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel Sport.

Something About This Dangerous and
Sometimes Cruel Sport.
When the two sons of the Prince of
Wales were on visit to Ceylon, grand
elephant hunt was projected to show
them how the animals were captured.
Here is an extract from Joseph Moore's
description of the hunt:
After long maneuvering the trained
elephants managed to separate a large
COW from the herd and so ranged them
selves about her that she was forced to
stand. This was the opportunity wanted,
and in fash an agile native slipped
under one of the friendly brutes, rope
in hand
Waiting until the restless prisoner
lifted her hind foot, he deity placed
the moose about her leg and withdrew.
Another venture fettered the second
limb, the decoys meanwhile warding off
with their trunks several wrathful
strokes at the man. The ropes were now
firmly secured to a stout tree and the
captive left entirely alone save her calf
Then began a titantic struggle for
liberty that no few words can justly
portray. Finding herself baffled in I'M
tying the many knots or in uprooting
the tree, she writhed, screamed, tore at
the foliage, paved the earth, tossed
clouds of dust over her back, flung her
trunk about fiercely and planted her
head upon the ground for leverage to
rend asunder the bonds.
At length she fell in exhaustion, an
guish and despair and lay motionless
and resigned. The natives well knew
that these symptoms forbode the loss of
their prize She painted for an hour or
more. sighed deeply and died-of "bro-
ken heart"
A male somewhat above medium
size was next submitted to the exciting
ordeal with minor variations. While he
stood jammed between two of the tame
elephants away from any tree, the
nooser induced him to raise his hind
foot by touching it gently, drew the
running knot about his leg and retreat
ed. IN this case the rope was attached
to the girth of one of the trained ami
mails, and the sagacious brute, knowing
exactly what was expected of him, be-
gan to drag the captive toward a tree
facing the spectators stands.
The wild one resisted violently, but
without avail, as the tame allies stead
ly pushed, butted and pulled him across
the Enclosure. When the tying was COM
plete, his contortions to free himself
were astonishing, though in the end he
Gained down, hopeless and covered with
soil.
