TROUBLE OVER A CONSTABLE.
Third Ward Democrats We're Sup
porting q Republican.

The Aldermen last night appointed
Thomas Doyle constable of the Third
ward, to succeed George Schaeffer, who
failed to qualify. Robert D. O'Beirne and
John Jelly sought the appointment.
Some trouble was caused in the Third
Ward Democratic Club by two or three
of it's prominent members supporting
Jelly. who is a Republican. Jelly was be-
ing doomed under cover When the
movement was discovered ex-Alderman
A. M. Henry, who was at the head of it,
was hauled over the Goals. He explained
that he did not know any Democrat want
ed the place. Harmony prevails now.

FOR THE MURDER
 OF MRS. CLUTE Albert Hoff, Who Is Accused of the Crime, Placed on
 Trial.
Seven Jurors Havo Already Beer Secured and Testimony Can
 Soon Be Taken.

Albert Frederick George eVereneseckoek- ockhoff, otherwise known for various req sons under the abbreviated title of Albert Hoff, was placed on trial before Judge Cook yesterday morning for the murder of Mrs. Mary A. Cute. On the morning of December 10 the murdered woman was found in her residence on Guerrero street, her skull crushed in by some L-unt in strument. Near the body lay coupnng pin, stained with blood. This was the only clew left by the murderer. Hoff was seen leaving her house, and 1t was after ward found that ne was the owner of a coupling pin similar to the one with which Mrs. Cute had been killed. Other developments pointed toward Hoi- as the murderer, and he was arrested.
 When the work of drawing jury was commenced Hoff was all attention. He would lean forward and peer anXfously at each new laee, an. would then busy him self working his bony fingers through each other. During the day twenty-six taleSmen were examined, and all were questioned at length by Attorney W. H. Schooler, who represents the defendant, and Assistant District Attorney Hosmer, who is prosecuting in the interests of the people. At the end of the days work seven Jurors had been accepted, and 1t Is thought that tne jury will be completed to-day. Those who now occupy the box are: l. M Merrill, l.. Lasar, A. s. Lown- des, w. F. Doane, J. Bremen, F. O. and J. F. Murray.

WAS NOT A TASTY ACTION. Woodward and Thomas Given the Same Treatment They Accorded

OAKLAND March 9.-J. w. Osborne Of
 the Army and Navy Republican League answers Councilman E. w. Woodward s attack upon that organization with lengthy open letter. The principal points are herewith presented:
 If Woodward was desirouS of attempt ing to cast odium on the action Of. or impugn the motives that actuated his
 one hundred and twenty ex-comrades and bowed heads performed a painful but just duty last Saturday evening and
 one that was demanded by public, press and pulpit why did he not speak for him self and in his own behalf and leave MT. Thomas to plead his own case or com-
 mend him to the tender mercies of an outraged community?
 The meeting was called (not by Colonel
 Hoguet, as. Woodward would have his
 readers believe, but was upon petition
 signed by seventeen members of the league), two-thirds of whom were fast friends of Woodward and Thomas, when our league require but five. And even then after the petition was presented to
 the colonel commanding, for fear that a
 criticism of the two guilty officials. the colonel referred the same to the council
 of administrator of the league 1g anlI and that at call the comrades together.
 Had Woodward desired fair play and
 n the o his bs own sandns aGs his resignation to, the league when no charges had ever been presented against him was of itself an evidence of guilt.
 And why was he absent when his honor
 and reputation Qf any he has) were at

 The Police and Fire Commissioners caused surprise to-day by passing unanimously the above resolution. It has been known for a long time that the Oakland Fire Department has not been an aggregation of John Coughs s disciples, but no such stringent rule was expected.
 The individualizing of the Chief and the fire warden has caused much con- ment and is the result of an incident that occurred on the exciting night when Councilman Brosnahan was es- corted from saloon to saloon by a squad of police, while the mob reviled him. At Thayer's saloon on that evening Fire Warden Murdoch was on hand, and in some manner he was embroiled In fight and was arrested the next day. The Commissioners agreed to-day that if Murdoch is in danger of being arrested when his services are needed 1t is best to make such a dilemma impossible.
 The sweeping nature of the new rule can be understood when it is consid- cred that the Fire Department Is on duty all the time, and consequently the resolution is absolutely prohibitive.
 The department was shaken up this morning and six heads dropped into the basket They are the heads of Stephen Towne, stoker of Engine Company |; Louis Walker, tillerman of Truck Com pany 8; Robert Grant, extraman of En- zine Company 2; Charles Croft, extra man of Engine Hose Company; Thoma Dolan, extraman of Hose Company 1; Samuel Short, steward of Chemical Company 3.
 The men were dropped on recommen- dation of Chief Fair, and the following appointments were made: J. H. Ayers as stoker of Engine Company 1, W. B. Scribner as tillerman of Truck 3, Will liam Laughland as steward of Chemf- cal No 3, William Backus as extraman of Engine Company g. T. Pulls as ex- traman of Hose Company 1, John Do- Ian as extraman of Hose Company 1, William Gamble as extraman of Truck Company 2, George Weaver as foreman of Engine Company 6, Thomas Gilmore transferred from Truck to Engine Company 6.
 A rule was also adopted by which the fines imposed for punishment on mem bers of the department will be placed to the credit of the Oakland Bremen s relief fund Bert Swan, foreman of Hose Company 3, was fined $10 for a starter
 Commissioner Dow said the Fire De- partment needs. stiffening up, and hinted that the work of reform would produce some unexpected results.
