A pistol with blood on it and some of
the cartridges discharged has been found
near the Hermitage, and it is believed that
the two bold robbers who held up an
officer near the City Hall have been sep

now seriously wounded in some part of
East Oakland.

SUPPORT of entry and given a Collector.
At the time it was stated that the Office
was created for a Democratic politician
who had failed to be returned to Congress,
and the result is taken as proof that such
was the case.
a few weeks ago 1HE CALL called atten-
ton 10 the fact that the custom house has
been closed Tor six months and that not
even the tlag was hoisted on Memorial
day. Twenty-four hours laIer Collector
Jackson, who probably found nothing in
his Office to inform him that Oakland
had customhouse, appointed a CO..
lector.
This morning the new Collector swept
his floor, busted the seal, hoisIed the flag
fixed the windows SO that the sun can
enter and waited for business. A glance
at The rec0rus show that so far the Gus
TOM house has been rather an extensive
luxury. During the incum bency of War
rem B. English the salary was $25OO per
year, and Mr.. English drew this salary ior
about year and a half
The records show that Mr. English re-
ceived greater amount OF money for the
quantity Of WORK done than any othe- of
ticial on record. There has just teen one
entry of cargo from foreign port in

On the 1st of June, 1896, the schooner
Laura May came down from Vancouver
with a load OF lum ber. Toe amount of
duty payable was less than $50, and this
Is al the direct work that Mr.. English
was required o do for the $3.50 he got out
OF the office. Not one pound of bonded
material has ever soiled the fireproof

There are notes tackled on the
wall which show that two consign-
ments by The railroad passed through The
custom house, but beyond this nothing

unk nd enough to say that the place was
made for be sake of pensioning q dlsap-
pointed Democrat.
In explaining the cause for the lack of
importations NJ. j. Keller said to-day:
When we asked for a custom house il
was supposed that the harbor would be
completed at the same time and that
many cargoes, especially of lumber and
coal, would be brought by cesp-drauEht
vessels TO oakland wharves. Instead OF
this, people started quarrehng. with the
result that all work on the harbor was
delsvpd Tor fully two years Then, again,
the Wilson tariff bill worked havoc with
ommerce, and. on account of the al
valorem duties, merchants in Oakland
found it cheaper TO buy THROUGH New
York houses than direct from Europe.
There is no doubt that when business is
settled there wi be ample work for q
local custom house"

Professor Moran's Quick Move That
Lift the Other Out in

BERKELEY, CAL, June 15-The suit
OF Professor George Bates against Proies-
sors B!ackledge and Moran of the Peralta
University Academy IS not the only
trouble which the pedagogues have met
with in settling their affairs.
The diss olution Of partnership Of Black
ledge and Moran was followed by an in
teresting little contest in which the
former came out second, wherein is
thought to lie the reason for his abandon
ment OF the profession of teas hing for
mining. The two professors did not
agree IN the conduct of the Reralta school.
Separation was therefore discussed be-
tween them. Each had the same idea as
TO what should be done after his relations
with the other had been severed. The
idea was to secure the big Peralta Hall
for himself and carry on the preparatory
school.
Professor Moran was the quicker at car
rying his intentions into effect, however.
No sooner were the articles of agreement
dIssolving Il ne partnership drawn up anG
signed than he boarded train for San
Francisco and secured lease on the hall.
Then he returnei to Berkeley, ready to
carry on the Peralta school, of which be
is now the head. The other teacher ar
rived at the office of the owner of Peralta
Hail but short time after Moran had
com pleted his coup. He found the build
ing leased to his late partner. and has
gone TO mining.

Two Texas Girls Present Captain Glass
with n Rabbits Foot.
Admiral Bunc. and the officers of the
north Atlantic squadron have reason to
believe that ~the hoodoo will be re-
moved from the unfortunate battleship
Texas. They base their belief upon a re-
port made by Captain Henry Glass of a
presentation made to the ship just be-
fore it sailed from the Brooklyn navy
yard for Galveston.
1t seems that two young women from
Austin, the Texan capital, were stop
ping in New York. They were proud of
their state and felt deeply the disgrace
which the hoodooed battleship was
bringing upon it. One of them conceived
a brilliant idea. The other approved Of
it. So these two young women went to
a Union square silversmith, where they
had rabbits foot handsomely mounted
in solid silver. The single word "Texas"
was engraved upon the metal.
This rabbits foot was put into box
and sent over to the Brooklyn navy
yard, where it was delivered to Captain
Glass. Inclosed was a card, which read
like this:
To Captain Glass
Of the United States batt1eship Texas, with
the best wishes o.. two Texas girls who arc
stopping in New York. Hoping that tho
hoodoo may DO removed from OUR ship.
