9OS Broadway, Nov. ?.
J. S. Emery Of Golden Gate was greatly
surprised recently TO find that P. Z
Bowles of the Firs' National Bank had
sold cola eral securities of his valued al
over SIS, 900 for the paltry sum of $50.
Still greater was his astonIshment when
he found that Bowles hal bid it in him
self. For time Emery thought that an
old and trusted friend had taken advan-
tage OF his tenn porary embarrassment and
turned il 10 his own vantage. How
ever. This story proved TO be false, and
after a ta!k with Mr.. BowIes Mr.. Emery
decided that his friend had done naught
10 cause suspicion of an Unfair deal, al
though he did buy in the stock as stated.
The status CT the matter as related by Mr..
Emery this evening is as follows:
Years ago l owed the bank as much as
$50 000 L paid interest on this several
years, and for the last year while | did
this l had $50 900 OF a corporation money
on deposit. When McNear bought in he
wanted a settlement. l paid no $40 600
and gave my collateral for $1,000 more
Thirteen thousand dollars was lett unse-
cured, and have paid all that, ard am
sure they need have no fear of the Sc
cured $1,000.
However, l was greatly surprised last
week 10 hear that the collateral had been
sold to Mr. Bowles.
Il had not been consulted alb ut the
sale. | knew that there must be some
reason or such a proceeding. | sought
for an explanation, and when | saw Mr..
BowleS he tolu me he was forced 10 take
the action he did by the bank directors;
that he had bG 1t II at nominal price 10
save the iee-, and that | cOu.u have them
al TO transfer or deal with in order to
realizs their value. He said he would
give me tie credit on nv account OF aIy-
I ing they brought or give me any excess.
l don't see any use o: sIch a procedure
when they we're 20 well secured, after
having $13 coo unsecuTei pal n a D oper
manner. But | guess it IS all rient and
will come out in the right way. While at
first l thought lie was doing me sharp
trick 10 get The security, | now believe
that II is d perfectly proper proceeding.
II tells mo hat | can have any time l
desire 10 settle the matter now.
Il consider he collateral of much more
value than the uebt. / would not let it
60 for three times the amount of the note,
and | know that ! can raise the necessary
amount If given little time. | have been
EN- barrasseu OF late years Sy the failure of
a mining scheme and the loss cf several
notes that indorsed. AL tnis has made

Keeping the City Accounts.
ALAMEDA, Nov. 2-There was lively
tilt at the meeting OF the City Trustees last
night during a discussion preclpitated By
Mr. Brick, who desires TO inaugurate a
mum Ger OF extensive changes in the sys-
tenn OF keeping the clty's accounts. He
began by declaring that be had been sat
on ever since he entered the board and
that he did not propose 10 be sat on any
longer. Then be began talking about the
electric light accounts and said he was
never bic 10 obtain the information he
wan ted 10 about them. He thought the
accounts should be Kept differently. City
Clerk Lam born wa called on for an ex-
PLANTATION anu in reply said that the sys-
tenn in use here was the same pursued in
all large municipalities owning their own
plants. He ad 8 that the objection to that
system came from the corporations and
their hackers who wanted to kill the muni-
clpal plant. Mr.. B lex took this a a per-
sonal reference himself and warmly re-
torted, whereupon Mr.. Lamborn said that
he meant a personal reference. This
closed the incident, and the city's ac-
past.

s winter approaches the Associated
Charities is taking ste ps to provide for the
usual needy class that is always found at
this season.
President H. NJ. Mcknight has been
making inquiry and finds that the num-
Der OF healthy beggars in this city at the
present time as shown by police records is
unusually large. He asks that promis-
cuous charity be not given them, as it only
increases their mum ber and tends to make
them abusive when help is refused.
Some of the best people n Oakland. 4"
said Rev. H. NJ. Mcknight, have secured
help through the Associated Charities,
which has been entirely satisfactory. Dur
ing the past year employment was iound
for 252 persons, and we are better prepared
than ever to attend to this branch of the
work.
The woodward has remained open
during the whole of the year and 224S
men have worked in 1t. We have seen
the wisdom OF owning tools to loan to work
men, and by this means several men who
could not otherwise obtain situations
have procured permanent positions. There
is gradual decrease IN the annual num-
Der of persons asking relief, which we be-
leve i. a good sign, as showing that the
industrial method of relieving the needy
is better than rromiscuous giving.
LAS winter approaches the number OF
applicants IS increa >ing. 1t Is far better
for the public, and much cheaper o refer
all ble-bodled men to the woodward
rather than TO degrade them by giving
hem food at your door or money on the
street, because such beggars finally de-
grade into vagrants or become insoen;.
AT the woodward they can earn meals,
lodgings and groceries, and as much is
paid them as anywhere else for the same
work. BY this method honesty is en-
couraged and vagrancy and pauperism are
discouraged"
