Illegal. This admission is enough to
impeach anybody, but Woodward is
running around the town smiling all
the time and talking of his stand"
His celebrated expression, Il have no
strings on me-" has been more quoted
than anything else in this connection.
Everybody you meet, instead of pass
ing the customary salutation, refers to
strings. Some of his fellow tenants in
his office draped his picture with
strings, and if Woodward lacks any
material string for the rest of his life
he certainly will not lack verbal
String" as long as he is in Oakland.
One little feature of his peculiar be-
havior is amusing, if it were not
serious, involving steal from the peo-
pie in the interest of the allied corpo-
rations of 100000 During the cele-
brated Council meeting, the first Coun-
ell Woodward ever attended, he
was very delicate regarding his vote
in some things. A little matter was
being voted upon, and Mr.. Woodward
begged to be excused because 1 am
not fully informed, Mr. Chairman. q"
Within ten minutes he had recorded a
vote on a matter regarding which he
had also said he was not informed and
which has brought down upon him the
just Indignation of his fellow citizens
and fellow-veterans.
Councilman Brosnahan's position is
not so surprising, for although he had
expressed himself as being in favor of
the ordinance that the committee had
worked on, he had not rushed into
print and from a self constructed
white throne announced that he had
no strings on him, but has all along
left the impression that he might be
expected to do anything at any time
1t is now very evident that he has
buried the Ratchet and is in the same
camp as the man who has sold the in
terests of the city on every possible
occasion.

Arrival of Bishop TAYLOR.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 23.-Bshop Taylor, the
famous African missionary and pioneer
preacher of '49 in San Francisco, arrived
in this city this morning for the purpose
of City Attorney E. K. Taylor, Attorney
NJ. S. Taylor and Harry Taylor. well
known local newspaper man. His wife is
also resident of this city. Accompany
lor and wife of New York City The lat
ter is publisher of the Illustrated Chris
tian World. He will remain about a
month, but the bishop will stay a year,
and will recuperate from his arduous ex-
periences in the Dark Continent. AL
though in his seventy-sixth year, and
having had most remarkable experience
as a missionary in this country, as well
as in India and Africa. the bishop is still
hale and hearty and apparently good for
many years to come.

the girl, and that her signature is not


genuine.
Williams was employed by EthePs
brother Ulysses Gray, and last night
the two men went to the Gray home
together, both somewhat under the in
fiuence of liquor. Shortly afterward
Ethel came in and announced that she
had been walking with male COM
panion. Williams and the girl sat by
the stove in the kitchen, conversing till
about an hour after midnight. Sud
denly he jumped to his feet and ex-
claimed loud enough for her mother to
hear, did you mean that?" The girls
reply was not audible to Mrs. Gray,
but moment later Williams drew his
gun and fired at the girls head. A
second shot went through her heart.
He then fired two shots at himself and
both died instantly.
Williams has long been in love with
the girl, and in his pocket was found
a little clipping from an Alameda news
paper which undoubtedly instigated
the murder, although it has taken him
a long while to carry out what he evil
IDENTIFY planned last September. The
clipping referred to is as follows: Miss
Ethel Gray of East Oakland and J..
C. Smith of this city will be married
September 2. After the honeymoon
they will make their home in East
Oakland"
Another letter was found written by
Williams to EthePs mother on January
10, this year. 1t says: She is my
false heart. I write this to let you
know that the reason L took her life
was because she went with. that Smith
that came to your house, and last
night l saw him sitting on a box with
her on his knee kissing her. She is
better off dead than alive, SO do not be
angry with me, because l am tired of
life anyhow"
There were two other letters. one Of
which was signed by Williams and an
other one by the girl. Her letter re-
ferred to an intended marriage and
shows that the dead people have been
very close friends, perhaps lovers, for
many months.
Williams is well-known young
criminal, and has a place in the rogue's
gallery He has been arrested a num-
Der of times, and once served six
months for burglary

OAKLAND, Feb 23.-The Supreme
Court has sustained Judge S. P Hall in
his decision declining to hear the appica-
ton of George A. Aldrich who sought to
be restored to capacity after Judge Ogden
had refused him. In the decision the
Justices, with Henshaw and Temple dis
senting, say: 1.-The provision in section
1866, C. C. p, authorizing the court to re-
store the person adjudged insane or in
competent to capacity is only applicable
to persons adjudged insane or incompe-
tent and for whom guardians have been
appointed under section 1854, c. G. F. The
application of 1t to persons committed to
asylums is utterly inconsistent with the
