WAITED TO BUY SECRECY,
A Nervous Letter-Carrier Crosses the
Bay to Be Welded

OAKLAND. CAL, June Edward ID.
Finley and Miss Kate Bannon came from
San Francisco this morning TO be secretly
welded. They might have carried out
their plans but for the fact that when the
groom procured the license he pushed q
$50 gold piece toward the newspaper man
to insure silence. After procuring the
license the young people were nervous,
appeared before Judge Wood and asked
him to perform the ceremony. The groom
was painfully Ill at ease, and after entsr.
ing the Judges chambers he carefully
closed the windows and drew down the
shades.
Ex-senator Moffitt and Police Officer
Rheinhart, who were in the court, con-
sented 10 act as witnesses and the cere-
mony proceeded. When the time arrived
for producing the ring. the groom asked if
it were necessary. Mr.. Mofflt replied that
it was decidedly customary and the bride
consented to have the golden band placed
on her finer.
II don't think we ought to do this" said
the bride, ''for we are going 10 be married
by a minister later on, and that will be
time enou for the ring"
"Weli, take the gold ring at this time"

Livermors Valley is to have its own
special day at the County Exposition,
which will open July 5. Livermore is the
center of the northeastern portion of the
county, and is in a sense the metropolis
OF the Livermore and adjacent valleys
The League of Progress of that city is
now preparing to have a special exhibit
and also to supply special features and
talent from its district for a day 10 be
hereafter set apart for their special bene-
tit. 1t has long been argued that there is
mucn too little of soHa Dility between
the various sections OF Alameda County.
Social lines have been drawn aItoge ther
too fine. and there is practically no bond
of friendship between the different cities
and towns.
1t IS for the purpose of overcoming in a
measure this disadvantage that Liver
more day mas been established and will
n the future have a permanent place on
the programme.
A communication has been sent by the
exposition directors 10 the Livermore
League suggesting that all the interior
towns unite on separate days for the pur-
pose of having township celebrations.
Livermore is naturally the center OF all
OF Murray Township, Haywards of Eden
Township. Berkeley of Brooklyn Town
ship and Irvingron of Washington Town
ship. These various PLACES have been
communicated with and there is no doubt
that they will now all take advantage of
the opportunity to have special exhibits.

IRISH CHAMPION PUGS.

pic Clubs Last Entertainment.
According to the feeling that exists
among leading club mem bers of the
Olympic Club against professional boxing
contests it is sale to say that the next en-
tertainment which will be given by the
cl lub at the Mechanics Pavilion will bring
to a conclusion the Olympic Clubs series
of professional exhibitions of isticuffs.
With few exceptions the members are
opposed to the scheme recently inaug-
urated by the club for the purpose of
adding little money to a rather depleted
treasury. They contend that a club can
be made financially successful without
having to go outside the purely amateur
lines and that if fisticuffs are really neces-
sarY TO the success of the club a series of
boxing matches between men selected
from the ranks of local pugdom may be
given in the gymnasium of the club
monthly and that a small fee be exacted
from those who desire to witness the
sport.
Alexander Greggains and Steve ODon-
nell will be the next brace of professional
pugilists who will box twenty rounds un-
der the clubs auspices, and as they are
scientific and light punchers the sports
look for run TO finish. Possibly o Dom
nell may cut out a fast pace when he finds
toat Greggsins' blows are not very pun
ishlng.
Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher will ap-
pear before the sports OF New York on
Wednesday evening, and the battle will
prove beyond a doubt whether Sharkey is
really dub or a very much underrated
fighter.

like good fashion his stock in trade will

Charles Topper OF Fruitvale has erected
$40, 900 hotel, but will not be granted a
license to sell liquor. This matter was
decided this morning by a unanimous vote
of the Supervisors.
a v4ry active and organized fight has
been made by the res dents OF Fruityale
against the granting of this license. 1t
has been postponed before the Supervis-
ors for several weeks anu this morning
was brought up for settlement.
protest against granting the license
was signed by sky residents, while two
OF the slgners of the original etition for
the saloon have Withdrawn their sigma
lures. Professor T. O. Crawford of the
public school, who appeared for the pro-
testants, made a vigorous attack on the
personal character OF Mr.. Topper
Ihat man used language TO me
before my wife and a young lady" SAID
Mr.. Crawford, That would cause many
men 10 have an occasion 10 call in coro-
ner's jury. Miss Maud Squires nv wife
and 1 were walking along when Topper
saw US. We were al ut one hundred feet
away when he commenced his TRADE,
which was partly in German, but end ed
with this vile sentence in English" Mr.
Crawford handed 10 the chairman slip
OF paper which was passed around TO the
Supervisors on which the sentence was
written.
Since then Topper has met me several
times. Recently he met ne and shouted
L will kill you dead !! ACCOMMODATING the
words with vie epithets. He threw rocks
at me and called me brother of Durrant
Yesterday be met me and told me l had
but one day to live, and at the same time
made threatening gestures. There is 40
word too foul or too obscene for him to
use. Instead OF being al bic to apply for a
Aquor license he ought TO be in some other
place"
Attorney Bradley, who appeared for
Topper, offered a letter from Sergeant
Nollwe bier of San Francisco testlfying 10
Iepper's good character.
Professor Crawford stated that the pro-
test was not church affair, but that peo-
pie OF all faiths were represented on it.
There are five houses of this kind al
ready IN our district within a stone =
throw OF each other, and we want no
more"
Tepper's attorney called Frank Wood
ward, real estate agent as witness
the trouble with Topper is that he talks
too much, said Woodward. III he would
keep quiet there would be no objection to
his house" Subsequent testimo ony showed
that Woodward had sold the property to
Topper and mad promised him that he
would help TO secure a liquor license
Woodward also stated, when asked by
Attorney Moore, that he would not like 10
live where these saloons were located.
AT the conclusion of the testimony Su-
pervisor Talcott moved and Church sec
Onded the motion denying the applica.
tion, and it was carried by unanimous

The Young Architect Believed to Have
Perished Near Point Bonita.
No news has so far been obtained of
Otto d Erach. the young artist and archi-
tect. who is supposed to have been lost
over the cliff north of Point Bonita on
Sunday morning. The young man re-
sided with his parents at 1921 Twentieth
street. He was employed by Percy &
Hamilton, architects, and he also attended
the Hopkins Institute of Art. On Satur-
day he went out camping with three
young men al point half a mile north of
the Point Bonita lighthouse, the inten-
ton bsing TO spend Sunday sketching
interesting points along the shore. He
expressed a desire TO reach a particular
point that was very difficult to reach and
started out Soon after d'Eriach dis
appeared from sight and late in the after
noon his hat was found on the rocks by

no purpose. He said that be started out
in team from Sausalito accompanied by
Mr.. NJ ohr and Mr.. Cohen, two OF his sons
companions. The thiru, George Apple
garth, remained in the city, having been
up near the cliff all night. The three
searched along The cliffs and beach but
without success. To-day the old man will
endeavor to search the shore in boat
from the ocean side, but yesterday such a
thing was impraclicable as the surf and
waves were running high. 1t Is generally
conceded that the worst has happened and
that young d Erlach fell over the cliff
and his body was washed out TO sea.
Otto 'Erlach was born in this City. He
attended the Horace Mann Grammar
School and the Polytechnic High School.
He chose the vocation of his father, that
of arch lecture. and he was highly res.
pecied for his pleasant ways and steady
ha bits. He was nineteen years of age.
