TOOK THE EXAMINER TIP.
L. Ripkind Bet on Corbstt and
Is Now in the County
Jail.
Refused to Tell in Justice Kerrigsn's
Court Where Disastrou Wagers
Were Laid.

An echo OF the recent great pugilistic
encounter sounded in Justice Kerrigan's
court yesterday. and sent L. Ripkind, a
cap-maker, to Jail for twenty-four hours
for contempt.
Ripkind was sued recently in the Justice
Court, and judgment for $S5 against him
and in favor of one StrunsKy rendered.
An execution failed to find anything to
satisfy the judgment, and the plaintiff was
about to give up in despair OF being able
to get his money when, to his joy, he
learned that Ripkind had recently received
$500 from the order of Beth Abraham, and
hastened to haul the defendant into court
to tel! where the money vas concealed.
The gay cap-maker admitted receiving
the money, but denied that he had any Of
1t left.
He had taken the Examiners sure-thing
tips that Corbstt couldn't lose to the
lankv Cornishman and be had bet his
pile on the pom padour slogger
Result-An empty pocket and huge
disgust for tho monarch of the takers.
Then the attorney for Strunsky at
tempted to ascertain whore the money
had been bet, but Ripkind suddenly be-
came reticent and refused to answer any
more questions. He was told by the
court that he would DO expected to an
swer, but he still declined to answer and
Justice Kerrigan sent him to Jail for
twenty-four hours or until he signifies his
readiness to relate the circumstances sur
rounding those disastrous wagers.

THEIR FIGHT RENEWED,
College Y. M. C. A. Members
Take Time by the
Forelock.
They Will Endeavor to Keep Liquor
"Ads" Fr m the Poges of 'eo's
Blue and Gold"

BERKELEY. CAL, March 19. - The
Young Mems Christian Association at the
State University has taken time by the
forelock in an effort to prevent liquor
''ads" from being published in '99's Blue
and Gold. Having lost the battle in their
effort 10 keep ''ads'' of this character out
of '9S's yearbook, they are none the less
daunted, but have bobbed up serenely,
and say they VIII fight their CAUSE this
time to finish. They have already CON-
menced action, though the officers of the
book in question have not been elected.
There is some talk of putting Y M. G. A..
candidate in the field for the manager
ship, who will be pledged If elected to
keep the liquor ads out entirely.
In their contention with the class of '98
the Christian Association did not cast
their first bomb until the book was we'll
under way and the plans of the manager
and editor had fully matured. Then reso-
lutions were introduced before the class
and the members were called upon to de-
eide the question. The young women
rallied to the support OF the Y. M. c. A.
and the meeting was attended by the
largest delegation of co-eds that ever at
tended a class meeting at Berkeley. But
the proposition of excluding the adver-
tisements was lost by close vote.

PASSENGERS WERE ALARMED.

A Broken Wheel on an Overland Train
Causes Quite a Commo otion.
The passengers on the Western bound
overland train, which arrived in this City
yesterday at 30 o'clock, received quite
good shaking up after the train had left
the summit of the Sierra Nevadas on its
journey to Sacramento.
When near Gold Hill, which is a small
station in the mountains on the railroad,
the passengers who were sleeping were
awakened by humping and humping
on the track, which racket kept up for
quite distance before the. train came TO
a halt. On inquiry it was ascertained that
wheel under one of the open cars, which
was next to the baggage-car, had broken,
and was tearing along the ties. Those
who were on board the car which lost its
wheel became very much excited, as the
train was moving along at pretty good
rate OF speed.
Some one pulled the bell rope, but it
failed to work, and as result the broken
wheel and very much Jared car tore along
over the ties for at least mile before the
engineer discovered that some thing was
wrong.
1t appears that the train was stopped in
good season. Had the broken wheel
caught on any of the bridges which span
culverts on the road an accident fearful TO
contemplat might have happened. A
delay of over three hours resulted until
the necessary changes and repairs were
made.

D0UGHERTY's EXAMINATION.
Judge Campbell Does Not Think tn,
Offense Constituted Murder.

Judge Campbell Does Not Think the
Offenso Constituted Murder.
George Dougherty, the policeman who
on the morning of March shot and killed
Henry E. Sullivan, fellow-officer, and
then attempted to end his own life, was
held yesterday before Judge Campbell.
The testimony was to the effect that
both men were in saloon on O'Farrell
street and were some what under the in
fuence of liquor. Sullivan, who was an
al hlete, wished TO indulge in friendly
boxing match without gloves and per-
suaded Dougherty to stand up before him.
The latter was somewhat bruised and
refused to go on with the sport. Sullivan
insisted, and when Dougherty attempted
to leave the place his companion became
angry and barred his way in a threaten
ing manner. Thereupon Dougherty fired
two shots at Sullivan and one at his own
head. The shots directed at Sullivan took
deadly effect, but Dougherty was able to
be in the courtroom yesterday.
After listening to short arguments by
Prosecuting Attorney Spinetti and Peter
+. Dunno for the defendant Judge
Camrbell stated that there was no evil
dence to hold the defendant for murder in
the first degree. and he would take into
consideration until to-day whether he
would hold him for mansIaughter or mur-
der in the first degree.

EIGHT VIOLENT DEATHS.
Inquests on Suicide and Other Cases
Held by Coroner Hawkins.

Inquests on Suicide and Other Cases
Held by Coroner Hawkins.
Several inquests were held by Coroner
Hawkins yesterday. In the case of Dam
iel D. Elery a verdict of suicide was
given. Ellery was a watch man, and lived

On the 18th inst. Patrick Conway.
teamster living at 1165 Howard street,
died from injuries to his spine caused by
his having fallen from the roof of a shed
several days before. The verdict was acci-
dental death.
A similar finding was given in the case
of John Bennett. carpenter living at
1851 Minna street. He fell from the roof
of building on the corner of Fibert and
Pierce streets on March 13 and ruptured
the right muscle of his heart.
Suicide while temporarily insane was

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, March 10.
The afhdavits of election expenses filed
by the finance committee of the various
candidates are now pouring into the
Clerks Office, and many OF them tell in
teresting chapters of how the battle for
Office was fought prior to the public's de-
cision at the polls.
This afternoon the statement OF John L.
Davie was filed. Mr.. Davie spent $26S 45.
He could legally have spent $500. His
vouchers are interesting, and show just
how much of the iulsome notices pub
lished in all manner of publications were
spontaneous on the part of the editor and
just how many were articles of commerce.
One of the most interesting items in Mr.
Davies account is that for 15, 900 "Davie
dollars" These dollars were spread all
over Oakland two or three days before
election. They we're cardboard coins,
with head of the Mayer on one side and
a reference to his dollar-tax limit on the
other. They were generously distributed,
and the number printed showed that there
were one and two-thirds for every name
on the Great Register.
City Attorney Peirsol, who received a
very light VOTE paid $266 for the privilege
of trying to succeed himself. Mr.. Peirsol
seemed to do little business with nearly
every house in San Francisco and Oak
land, but the most com plete biography ap-
peared in the Elevator.
The citizens who inspected these state
ments in the Clerks Office learned great
lesson in politics. Many of them were
surprised to find that the elaborately
written defense of a candidates public
record was worth just so many sordid
cents per line. In the case of defeated
candidates it is very amusing to read on
the vouchers, "Mr. Smith will certainly
be the next Mayor of Oakland" and then
to glance at the complete returns and find
that Mr.. Smith received about one vote
in every fifty that were cast.
Martin Esan, member of the Repub-
lican Alliance, who appeared on the bal
lot as Democratic candidate for library
trustee, polled over 5000 votes without the
expenditure of a cent. MIR. Egan called
on the County Clerk this afternoon and
was informed that where man had paid
nothing out it is not legally necessary for
him to file Estate ment of expenses"
There are several other candidates yet
to hear from, but none whose method of
expending the limit allowed by the purity
OF election law is likely to create any
trouble.

ALAMEDA. CAL, March 19.-At 1 40
O. clock this morning an alarm was turned
in for fire in the dwelling of w. Meyer
hotter at 1852 Verdi street. The flames
had made good headway before the de-
partment reached the scene and the ad-
joining houses on both sides were also
burning to slight extent. These were
first attended to by the engines and then
the streams were turned on the Meyer
hotter house. The upper part of the house
was badly damaged before the fire was
controlled. 1t is the property OF F. F.
Baker of San Francisco and was insured
for $4,000, with $500 additional on the con-
tents. The dwelling of Felix Marcuse,
adjoining on the corner of Verdi street
and Railroad avenue, also caught fire and
was damaged several hundred dollars.
While the fire was burning many of the
articles in the house were removed,
strangers assisting. and after the flames
had been extinguished Mr.. Marcuse found
that some one had stolen valuable dia.
mond ring. There is no clew to the thief.
The residence of G. A. Smith, at 154S Verdi
street, was also damaged several hundred
dollars.

A QUIET CAMPAIGN.
No Mass Meeting and but Very Little
Interest Being Taken in the
Canvass,

ALAMEDA, CAL, March 19.-There
was quite little squirt of interest in the
municipal campaign while the nomination
of candidates was in allegiance or going
on, but now that the tickets are all made
up apathy seems to have seized the poll
tcians, and no one except he was posted
would believe from any outward indica-
tions that it is only about three weeks to
election day. Such thing as mass
meeting has not been held or even sug-
gested, and it seems altogether likely that
none will be called.
Some of the candidates are doing little
hustling on their own account. but other
wise matters in the political field are yer y
quiet, stagnant in fact. and it is not ap-
parent that there will be much difference,
unless the saloon question should be taken
hold of more actively than now seem s
probable.

The departure of her husband for Texas

not yet been signed the city electrician, G.

stringing the wires and arranging the
lights. The majority OF the applicants
appear to fancy that no special knowledge
is required beyond the ability to climb the
poles which will support the electric wires.

9OS Broadway, March 19.
One of the most earnest fights for place
In the new municipal administration has
been that for the Office OF assistant to the
City Attorney. This contest has been
very bitter and not without some humor
during the past two weeks. As soon as
the election was over TWO candidates ap-
peared, each of whom claimed the Office.
1t was not exactly clear by what right
thew intended to establish their claims,
but each man told his friends that he
would be the next deputy to the City At
torney.
These claims went so far as to affect
