MRS. SLOAN'S
 FATAL FALL Both Collar Bones and Also the Skull Frac-
 tuPed. She Lost Her Balance and Fell From Third-S Story
 Window.

Mrs Sloan, who resides at 416 O'Farrell street, fell from the third-story window of her house late last night and sus tained injuries which will prove fatal.
 At about Il 30 o'clock she left her room and went into the bathroom, accidentally locking the door behind her, with the key inside. Not caring to arouse any of the inmates it is presumed that she tried to regain her room by crawling out of the window, over an air shaft and into the window of her room. In some way she missed her hold and fell to the ground She was picked up unconscious and taken to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that she had sustained fractures of both clavicles and the base of the skull. The doctors have no hope of her recovery.
 The woman's husband is employed on the steamer Umatilla, which is hourly ex- pected into port.

PHOTOGRAPH OF
 AN OLD BULLET
Unique Application of Alonzo Bradford for the Post
 office.
A Souvenir of Fort DOnelson Was Something New in Pe-
 titiOnS.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 sos Broadway Feh 26

The following paragraph shows what William E. Curtis, Washington corre- spondent of the Chicago Record, thinks of one of Alamede County's applicants for office:
 The most unique application for of flee that has been filed under this ad- ministration comes from Alonzo Brad ford, who wishes to be postmaster at Haywards, Cal. Accompanying his ap- plication is a letter of recommendation, signed by large number of Repub- lican politicians and citizens of the place, together with an X-ray photo graph of his left knee. The photo graph shows that bullet entered his knee at the joint, pushed up the knee cap and lodged between the bones of the upper and lower parts of the leg. The bullet is still there, it being inn possible to dislodge it by probing, and the only way in which it can be re- moved is by amputation of the leg Mir Bradford stated that the bullet was received at the battle of Fort Donel- son, and that he had carried it ever since. MT. Bradford was postmaster under the Harrison administration"
 When seen at his house he said: Yes, l sent that picture on to show them how I was fixed and that I still carried one of Jeff Davis bullets around with me. I did not have the photograph made at first with the idea of sending it to Washington, however. The ball has caused me considerable trouble at times and I wanted to have it extracted, if possible. So I went to a doctor of San Francisco, who put my knee under the X ray to locate the bullet.
 T sent the picture to Washington to the Postmaster General on the third of this month, together with three peti- tions containing a long list of names of Haywards people. I also sent a photograph to Congressman Hilborn with a letter explaining the situation"
 George OakeS already had the office when this reached Washington, but 1t opens up a new field for applicants for Federal positions.

any testimony and without any consid- eration as required by law would be in- valid, and he also said he would not defend the resolution if it should be taken into the courts. To-day he re- peated that opinion.
 It was stated to-day that the Mayor had not the power to revoke the ap- pointment of Councilman after hav- ing once made it. Although he ap- pointed a Police Judge and revoked the appointment the revocation simply changed the name of the Judge, making him a Justice of the Peace but did not put him out of office or in any way change his standing. In the matter of tbe Councilmen it is different. Having made the appointment flor the unex- pired term" the appointee has the same powers as any other Councilman, and can only be removed by the process of law namely. impeachment for maj feasance in office. The Council meets again next Monday night, but although the water rates will not come up. there will undoubtedly be large crowd on hand to give an ovation to the mem hers who are so grossly violating their trusts by saddling an illegal steal upon the city.
 Throughout all the talk and argu- ment made by the agents of the water companies. not one of them has re- ferred to the fact that the rates as es- tablished by the committee provide a clear interest of per cent on the in vestment. and in addition allow S3S 900 which the Jaw does not demand in the interest of the corporations.
 Extraordinary pressure is being brought on Councilman Woodward to induce him to change his vote when the ordinance comes back for final passage. No one has much hope that such will be the case, but there is of course a chance that he may vote with the five who are mindful of their obligations.

Two Men Working the Stores of Ala
 meda-Some Clothing Stolen.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 26.-A couple of men, apparently from Oakland, have been working the stores of Alameda recently and taking advantage of the inattention of the proprietors to help themselves to things that attracted their fancy On Thursday they called at a clothing-store on Park street, and while one of them asked for some goods that required the proprietor's presence in the back part of the store the other presumably helped himself to several pairs of trousers lying in a pile in the front part. He must have hidden them under his coat, for the pro- prietor noticed nothing especially out of the way until he began thinking the mat ter over, and on making. an investiga- tion found the trousers missing.
 Two men answering the description of this couple also visited the store of Julius Brown, on Webster street, and attempted to steal several pairs of trousers. MT. Brown was waiting on another customer in the rear of the store, and the thieves coolly started to make up package of the clothes. Mrs. Brown was in the rear room, from which there is a peephole into the store, and chancing to look through this, she saw the fellows in the very act of stealing the. goods. She at once alarmed her husband, who started after policeman; but the men ran down Web ster street and escaped. Two fellows an swering their description have been mo- ticed on the Oakland cars coming this
