OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
9O8 Broadway, March II.
A dead man was found at Miller's lodg-
ing-house on lower Wash ington street
last night. He had engaged room at tho
house and given his name as Hutchinson
and nothing was known of him except
that he was hard drinker.
The matter was reported to the officer
on the be at and message was sent to the
Coroner's Office. Deputy Quellin went to
the lod odging-house with the Morgue wagon.
where several people were standing
around the dead man, who was found on
the rear step.
Quellin told the landlord what he had
come tor, and was at once shown the
corpse. The casket which is carried for
use on such occasions was taken through
the clearinghouse. and two or three men
helped the deputy to place the dead man
in it.
AS they were returning to the wagon
the corpse rubbed his eyes and expressed
surprise at his surroundings. A little
closer investigation showed that Mr.
Hutchinson had merely been indulging In
his favorite habit. Landlord Miller was
SO taken aback to see his dead guest sit
up in the coffin that he nearly tainted.
After placing Hutchinson In his room to
sleep off the debauch the wagon drove
lack, and the Coroner will get no fee for
some time out OF Hutchinson.

Prefers Horse-R ding and Bunting to

OAKLAND, CAL, March II. - Mrs.
Douglas of Fruitvale is free. This morn
ing George Douglas was granted divorce
on the ground OF cruelty.
The husband told the court OF the
manner in which he was neglected and OF
his wife's many unkind acts, and also
described how thoroughly their tastes
were at variance. Mrs. Douglas did not
put in an app earance, either in person or
by counsel, and Judge Hall awarded the
decree.
Mrs. Douglas recently left Oakland for
Los Angeles, where she will in future re-
side. 1t will be recalled that she came
into public notice a couple of months ago
by being arrested at San Jose at the in
stance of her husband, and charged with
stealing her wedd ng ring. This incident
led to an expose of the romantic career of
Mrs. Douglas, who acknowledged that
horse-riding, hunting and outdoor sports
were far more congenial to her than do
mestic life.
The little boy will. remain with his
father. Before her marriage, eight years
ago, Mrs. Douglas was Miss Jennie Van
Pelt of East Oakland.

A fight is in progress for the presidency
at the City Council. 1t has been stated
that William B. Pringle is certain to be
elected, but this is denied by some Coun-
cilmen who are anxious 10 see w. D. Heit-
mann in that position. Regarding the
City Hall patronage, nothing definite is
as yet known, although there are multi
tudes OF people out for each Office.
DR.. Buckland, who will retire as Coun-
Gilman from the Fifth Ward next month,
is anxious to be elected Health Officer, to
succeed DR.. Bradley. DR.. Buckland, how
ever, has no claim on the Republican adj
mnistraton. He failed 10 receive the
nomination for Councilman in the Repub-
lican convention, ran independently and
can nominee to insure the elec ion of q
Democrat.
The Army and Navy Republican League
is very busy body just now. At last
nights meeting four prominent members
were expelled for working against the Re-
publican ticket in the last campaign.
They were Colonel ]. P. McElroy, Edward
McElroy, Ira Underwood and John L.
Roundy.
The oath of the league is: ITO unite in
the active support of the principles OF the
Republican party and aid in the election
OF Republican municipal, State and Ma
tional nominees" The four expelled men
worked hard for A. c. henry, an inde-
pendent candidate Tor Mavor, and nearly
succeeded in defeating Captain Thom as,
the regular Republican nominee, and a
respected veteran.
John A. Brltton spent just $22 to secure
the largest vote for School ID Drector.
H. D. Rowe, who was elected Council
man from the Seventh Ward, spent but

A. A. Bretz paid $40 to run as Popu-

was the honor.
Colonel Garrity must be given the badge
as the gamest loser in the city. He has
been in several political fights in this city
and county and has always been within

WILL GET CHEAPER GAS.
Now Have the IHuminator Furnished
to Them for 81 75 Per 1000 Feet.

The People of Alameda and Oakland
Now Have the IlIuminator Furnished
to Them for 81 75 Per 1000 Feet
ALAMEDA, CAL. March 1.-THE peo-
pie OF Alameda were pleased to-day to
hear that of Its own volition the OAKLAND
Gas, Light and Heat Company had re-
duced the rate which it charges for gas
from 81, the present rate, 10 81 IS per
1000 feet for Illuminating purposes, and
from 81 IS to 81 60 for fuel. This makes
the cost to the consumer the same as in
San Francisco, although it costs more to
produce gas here than in the City, while
the plant needed to supply the territory
covered is fully as extensive as in San
Francisco. As the amount disposed of
across the bay is many times that used
here, it is believed that the rate there
could be much lower than at present.
When gas was first introduced here it cost
the high price of 81 so per 1000. 1t was
gradually reduced until in October, 1896
the rate was made 50 per 1000. and this
was thought very low price. As stated
the company has not been forced to re-
duce the price at this juncture, but has
done it OF its own free will.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 1.-THE fig
ures com piled by Manager Bristol of the
Students Aid Society showing how many
students of the university reside outside
of Berkeley have created q good deal OF
stir and it is generally conceded that the
often repeated charge of lack of college
spirit at Berkeley finds its justification in
such state of affairs. The matter is be-
ing good deal agitated and it is likely
that efforts will be made to induce q
larger proportion of new students to take
up their homes in Berkeley.
The TACT that q very large number of
Berkeley collegians are only in the uni
versity town for recitations is regarded as
responsible for much of the difficulty
usually encountered in the carrying out
of student enterprises.
