Notes From the Seaside, the
Mountains, the Lakes and
the Springs.

September still finds the interior resorts the
center of all social gayeties, and the indica.
lions are that the season will continue until
far into October.
One OF the chief charms OF this season OF 81
has been the constant movem ent thus max
ing the summer resorts the favorite spots of
all social delights. This shifting from spring
to mountain, from lake 10 interior resort is
still the characteristic OF the outing.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 7.-Frank Holt
and Miss Mamie Land came from San
Francisco to be married. They were ac-
companied by Herman Brockman and
Miss Katie O'Brien. AS they walked up
and down Broadway, evidently rather
reticent about going to the Clerks Office,
they attracted considerable attention as
they paraded two by two.
After while they asked the way to
the County Clerks Office, and the four
children, for they looked like school boys
and girls out for picnic, were directed to
the county buildings. Holt asked Deputy
Cal Ewing for license, and no sooner
had he spoken than Brockman very ab-
ruptly said, "Me, too" This declaration
on the part of the latter was evidently a
surprise 20 every body present except Miss
Katie O'Brien. A little inquiry developed
the fact that while parading Broadway
Herman and Katie had made up their
minds to follow the example of Frank
and Mamie.
Every hing being legal. and the young
men swearing that the young LADIES in
short dresses were Is years Of age, the
licenses were granted, and few min utes
later, amid giggling and joking, the quar-
tet appeared before Judge Cliff and were
duly joined in holy wedlock.
Judge Cliff would not have been sur
prised if the young ladies had told him
that they were but IA, for they certainly
looked nearer hat than Is. The young
body would have taken them for being
any older After the ceremony the quar-
tet took the first train back to San Fran
cisco.

No One Takes Any Interest in the

OAKLAND, CAL, April THE great
contest over the Mayoralty Is a dire fail
ure. Not only does it fail TO decrease
Mayor Thomas majority, but it fails to
interest the public, and Judge Halls
court is deserted, except for the teller
and caller.
None OF the alleged frauds are develop
ing and the recount shows that the officers
of election were not the venal people tn at
they were said to be. Instead, the ballots
show that the official count was very
ordinary one and that the officers made
the usual number of mistakes and no
more, and the discrepancies appear to
have been made as much in favor of one
candidate as another.
One precinct envelope was found on
which the seal was broken. AMI after an
argument Judge Hall admitted 1t and Or

forty ballots held in reserve, and these
will be held by the court until the recount

OAKLAND, CAL, April Fire Chief
Fair presented charges to-day to the Com
missioners against w. B. Smith. foreman
of chem ical No. l, who is at present under
suspension. The Chief states that Smith
is guilty of insubordination by causing the
publication of an article rejecting on the
Chief. and which he alleges is detrimental
to the discipline and welfare Of the de-
partment. In conclusion, Fair asked that
Smith be dismissed. The board will try
the charge next Saturday morning.
The struggle for the Chiefs position is
still being waged. This morning several
firms sent in petitions that he be retained.
William A. Townsend of West Oakland
also sent in an application to be made
chief OF the department.

Fred Chelson's Search for a Leak

OAKLAND, CAL, a pril Fred Chel-
son was severely burned to- night at the
Judson Iron Works by an explosion of
petroleum. Chelson is water-tender at
the works, and e was engaged this even
ing in drawing off petroleum from the
tank on a car into the tanks at the works.
There was leak in the pipe and Chelson
took lamp to locate 1t.
He found it sooner than he expected
and the escaping gas was ighited by the
lamp. There was an explosion, and for a
brief space Chelson, car and pipe were en-
veloped in flames AS the man-hoIe was
off the tank the flames were not confined,
but could escape, and so very little dam
age was done.
Chelsor was brought to the receiving
hospital and his hands, face and breast
were found to be severely burned. He
was able to go home after his wounds
were dressed.

FIREMEN MUCH EXCITED.
New Law Making the Office of Chief
Elective in Fifth Glass
Cities.

ALAMEDA, CAL, April Tho volun-
teer mem bers of the Fire Department of
this city are much wrought up this after
noon over the publication of a bill ap-
proved March 81, 1897, which provides
that in cities of the fifth class, which is
Alameoas rank, the Chief of the Fire De-
partment shall be elected by the mem.
bers subject to confirmation by the Board
of Trustees of the city. The joke lies in
the fact that few or none knew that such
a measure was before the last Legislature,
much less that it was enacted and ap-
proved. In Alan sda the Chief was al
ways elected until about year ago, when
to place greater responsibilities on his
shoulders the office was made appointive,
and Chief +. X. krauth Jr. was named TO
succeed himself. This was while q con-
test was pending between him and Max
Gundlach as 10 the result of the last pre-
viously held election in February, 1896,
when it was said that for that election
company rolls were swelled with men
who never seriously intended to do fire
duty, but were brought in to vote.
Chief Krauth, who knew of the exist
ence of some measure affecting fire de-
partments of cities of Alameda's class,
though having no knowledge of it's pro-
visions, is inclined 10 believe from a read
Ing OF the bill that II does away altogether
with the paid mem bers of the depart
ment, in that it refers only to volunteer
companies and makes provision for the
paid services of no one save the Chief.
He argues that it is faulty in various re-
spects, not the least of which is the one
that no tenure is prescribed for the Chief.
Chief Krauth says the effect of the bill
will be in Alameda to relegate its depart
ment to that of a rural community. City
