NEW LEAGUE ORGANIZED.
To Do Away With Portisunship in Municipal Mutters-Mony
 Members Join.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 7.-An organization called the Municipal League has been formed in this city. and its first meeting was held on Saturday night last. It came into existence without being herald ed through the press, and for time at least will work very quietly and unos- tentatiously. It expects. however. to play a prominent part in the city election in 1899 The principles of the club, as an- nounced by it, are as follows:
 ''The nomination and election of honest and competent persons to the various of fees of the city of Alameda, without re- gard to party utilization. The mainte- nance of the referendum principle in mu- nicipal politics. The approval or disap- proval and criticism of the acts of munici- pal officers The discussion of any and all matters affecting the good and well being of the municipality"
 The roll is open for signatures, and al- ready a number of prominent citizens have joined. IL is a requisite that anyone signing the roll must not be a member of any other political party or club, and must not vote at any other primary ex- cept that of this league. The Good Gov ernment Club, which has done such good work at the two last city campaigns. is still in good order. and is working on similar lines Exactly the reason for the new organization is not at present appa- rent

HER IDENTITY
 IS ESTABLISHED
The Young Woman Who Com rnitted Suicide in Los Ange-
 les Was Mary Hegle.
Charles Raabe of the Park House in the Mission Was Her Stepfather
 and Notified the Police.

The identity of the young woman who committed suicide in Los Angeles Janu- ary by swallowing a dose of carbolic acid was made known yesterday and Chief Lees wired the information to the chief of police there.
 She went under the name of Mrs. Gladys Harris in Los Angeles and in Denver, where she had been living before going to the former city, her husband be- ing Charles Harris, a dry goods clerk.
 Yesterday morning Charles Raabe of the Park House, Twenty-fourth and Mis- sion streets, called upon Chief Lees and said that he had seen the dispatch in the death of Mrs. Harris in Los Angeles. She was his stepdaughter, and her name was Mary Hegle. Her mother died May 27, last year. At that time she was keeping company with Charles Harris, a clerk in the Chicago Clothing House. Harris left the city about d year ago and she left shortly afterward to join Harris. He had not heard of her from that time un- til he saw her death mentioned in the newspapers
 From the dispatch 1t appeared that jealousy drove the young woman to com init suicide. While she and Harris were living in Denver she attempted to com init suicide by swallowing carbolic acid, but as she had eaten a hearty meal shortly before the poison did not have the desired effect and her life was saved
 Her stepfather did not know whether she had been married to Harris, and

RELIANCE BOXING.
Several Good Settos at the Oak
 land Athletic Club.

OAKLAND, Jan. 1.-The gentlemen's night at the Reliance Club produced some first-class boxing and the decisions met general satisfaction. The large gymnasium was packed and a big con- tingent came over from San Francisco. Billy Hughes was the referee and Billy Jordan master of ceremonies.
 Charlie I've and Joe Walton and F. W. Osgood and J. Sullivan figured in the pre- liminaries Then Mir. Jordan introduced Tony Williams and Fred Maynard. They were very evenly matched and the de- cision was draw. George Baker and Jack McMahon next met for eight rounds. McMahon did all the leading and finished good and strong and was given the decision. One of Bakers sec onds objected. but everybody approved the decision, which was fair and just.
 The main event of the evening was the eight-round go between Billy Decourcy of Los Angeles and Marty McCue of New York. McCue was seen to be the best man from the start. He had things his own way, and it was plain that it was only through courtesy he did not knock his opponent out. McCue got the decis- ion, being far away the best man.
 Before entering the ring McCue an- nounced that if he won he would fight any one on the coast for $500. The chal- lenge was accepted on behalf of Jin.ny I.aWler.

SAN LEANDRO
 IS ANXIOUS The Cannery Question to Be Decided Next
 Wednesday.
Wealthy Men Not Doing Any More Than Are the
 Preachers.
The Ten Thousand Dollars Still e Long Way From Being
 Raised.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

JVo D4Oe0H1 1yy OeAA- A''
 A meeting that means much to the future of San Leandro is to be held in that town on Wednesday evening next. It is the final gathering of the citizens to decide the question as to whether the town shall have a cannery or whether the movement shall be aban- doned.
 For several weeks the committee in charge of the scheme has been trying to raise a bonus of S10,000 with which to approach cannery owners seeking to locate at San Leandro. A great deal of interest has been aroused, and many subscriptions have been promised, but the encouragement has not been what was expected, nor has it come from the very quarters in which it might be sup posed the most substantial donations would be given.
 Rev. Father McAvoy, the parish priest, and Rev. Barton Berry, the Presbyterian minister, have worked en- ergetically for the furtherance of the project. They have contributed literally according to their means, and have per suaded many others to do likewise. The public schools have also borne part of the burden, but there is still much more than half the required amount to be raised.
 Some of the citizens have been look ing into the state of affairs, and they have discovered that the wealthy resi- dents who own a good portion of the town and have a lucrative interest in another portion have not done what the people have a moral right to sup pose they would do. It is recounted that Rev. MT. Berry, with a salary of $75 a month, has promised as much as Banker Farelly, who is interested in several capitalistic schemes, and who is generally rated as a millionaire. Father McAvoy, anxious to see the lit tie town go ahead, has contributed equally with l.. c. Morehouse, the wealthy banker and State Equalizer, and Socrates Huff, the president of the ] local bank, has done no better. It was l thought when the scheme started that these wealthy people would be the main contributors, but public expecta- ! tionS have been disappointed. In San Leandro at the present time l 1t is said there are about eighty vacant 1 houses, and a permanent cannery would bring enough residents to fill ! them. As most of the houses are under some obligation to the local capitalists l the citizens think that more encourage ment should be given to the cannery movement in proportion to the wealth l of the contributors.
 1 Wednesday evening the matter will
 be brought up, and it will be decided
 whether the affair is to be a success o1 ! not

THROUGH A WINDOW.
FotoI Jump of John Lowhorn
 While Delirious.

OAKLAND. Jan. 17.-John William Lawhorn jumped through a third-story window of the East Bay Sanitarium this evening and died two minutes after being picked up from the sidewalk
 Lawhorn has been living in Oakland for several months and has been a confirmed invalid. He came from Visalia with his family and has been cared for almost since his arrival by the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church. His family con sists of a wife and three daughters and one son who reside on Market street.
 About two years ago, while residing in Visalia Lawhorn fell from hay wagon onto a pitchfork. He was struck over the heart and since that time he has been subject to attacks of heart failure. After his arrival in Oakland he was attacked with pneumania and for several days past he has been unconscious. He was sent to the East Bay Sanitarium by the church ladies and was in charge of a nurse. This afternoon Lawhorn was still unconscious and became very. delirious His nurse was In constant attendance, but while she was opening door the pa uent sprang out of bed.
 The nurse rushed to the delirious man, who made straight for the window IL was open little, and the maniac, quick as lightning threw it up and jumped through onto the sidewalk.
 Lawhorn landed on his shoulders and the fearful fall broke his neck and his pack ana fractured other bones. When picked up he was still gasping, but he died as soon as he was carried into the sanitarium. The patient had never shown any maniacal tendencies before, and his movements to the window were so quick they could not be prevented
 Dr. kron, who is in charge of the sani- tarium, says the nurse was in the room, with the door open, when Lawhorn rushed to the window.
 The deceased was 42 years of age and his family is completely destitute.

sos Broadway. Jan. r.
 Thus cid the Supervisors to-day unanimously warn all their employees that they must not neglect their work during the coming months for the pur- pose of doing politics.
 When the resolution was read no names were mentioned, but it was re- cited that the law requires all the de- partments of the county government to be kept open during certain hours, and by inference it was stated that in some instances this law has been violated. A statement follows that there are under the direct supervision of the Supervi- sors many appointees who should be at their posts so as to give the best ac- cOmmodation and assistance to the gen eral public. and it is at these that the resolution is aimed.
 This new rule Of the board has been variously interpreted at the county buildings this afternoon. It includes all the staff of the City and County Hos pital, the Receiving Hospital, county expert additional department clerk, courthouse gardening and engineering staff, janitOrs and watchmen and af- fects altogether about forty people. There are some who think that there is a joker in the resolution and that its intent is to give a foundation for cer- tain changes that could not diplomat iCally be made otherwise It has no bearing. of course, on the heads of de- partments, but it is known that many complaints have been made in certain quarters that the attention is not what 1t should be. 4 few weeks ago some new rules were made for the government of the Receiving Hospital, and to-day's proceeding is along the same line.
 There are many politicians in the em- plOy of the Board of Supervisors and now that politics are daily becoming more active, there Is a general inclina- tion on the part of the fins" to neglect their duties and go around town and county repairing fences. Any one caught doing this hereafter knows the penalty, although there is a very gen eraI impression that the carrying out of the resolution will depend a great deal on whose OK is gored.
