PLANTING FOOD FISH.
Many Big Mouth Black Bass Put in Public Waters.

Tn the fall of 1895 the California Fish Commissioners brought from the East 1000 big mouth black bass fry, which were placed at the hatchery at Sissons to at- tain sufficient growth to battle for them selves in the streams of California The first distribution of these fish in the pub- lie waters is now taking place.
 A few days ago 100 two-year-old fish were put into the Russian River, near Duncans Mills. One hundred more were placed in the San Joaquin River near Tracy and 250 in the same stream in Fresno County. Yesterday Lake Merced received 100 fish, and 50 were put into Tule River in Tulare County. To-day 400 fish will be shipped to the San Joaquin River to be placed in the water near the mouths of the Stanislasus and Mokolumne Rivers.
 The big mouth black bass are specially adapted to warm waters and they grow to be much larger than the small mouth variety, now common in many of the streams of the State. The Commissioners believe they will flourish in the water of the San Joaquin River and it's many tri- butaries and sloughs that branch far out from it into all of the surrounding coun- try. There is no doubt that in a few years these streams will be filled with fine food and game fish. The Commissioners make the urgent request that anglers In any of the streams mentioned, and espec- ially in the Russian River, will refrain from taking any big mouth black bass for few years until the fish have chance to increase. Every fish returned to the water will mean plenty of sport in the future. The big mouth black bass Is easy to distinguish from any of the other of the fnny tribe.
 It is larger than the small mouth vari- ety and the size of the mouth is most distinguishing feature. It is also of a much brighter silvery color.

HARRY MURRAY'S DISCOVERY A Four-Inch Shell Found at the Late
 Residence of Mrs. Shields.

Harry Murray, paperhanger residing at 1 Ewer place, made a peculiar find while engaged in papering the residence lately occupied by Mrs. Shields at POI Vir- ginia avenue-the place 1t Is alleged the woman attempted to burn on the night of September 25 last, and for which she Is now awaiting trial on the charge of arson. While clearing away some rubbish in a Kitchen on the lower floor Murray dis- covered a four-inch shell under some shelving The death dealing missile was covered by a lot of old rags and paper.
 Murray removed the shell and took it to his home.
 Had the house been burned down, as Mrs Shields intended, this shell would un- doubtedly have exploded and in doing so would in all probability, have brought death to one or more persons engaged in extinguishing the fire Whether Mrs. Shields knew of the shell being in the kitchen closet or not Is a question not likely to be discovered soon. At all events Harry Murray has brought it to his home as a souvenir of Mrs. Shields late residence

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.

nECENTLY published statistics show that up to H( the first day of October nearly 22oo miles of railroad had been laid in the United States during the year, and enough work is under way, is said to justify the belief that the total construc- ton for the whole year will exceed 5000 miles.
 While this mileage is below the accomplishments of some of the great railroad building years of the past it is marked advance anything attained since the panic of 1893. In year between 1893 and the present year did the construction of new roads equal 2ooo miles. It will be seen, therefore that the revival of prosperity has already attained good head way in railway enterprises well in other lines industry.
 It is to be noted that the figures given refer only to railways be traversed by locomotives and do not include any of the numerous electric lines which in the thickly populated sections of the country are radiating from the cities and ex- tending farther and farther into the suburbs Some of these electric lines in the East are of sufficient

ROGERS HAS MANY FAT VACAN- GEES TO DISPOSE OF.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

SO6 BroadWay, NOV. 1u
 Already the candidates-elect for county offices have given indications of how the patronage of their offices will be distrib- uted.
 Some time ago at the San Leandro con- vention The Call stated how many of the deputyships would be filled. and recent developments prove the correctness of that information.
 Under District Attorney J. J. Allen his chief deputy will be H. A. Melvin, who has been in the office for four years; At torney Phil M. Walsh will be another deputy; George Samuels who nominated Judge Allen in the convention, another. while it is said that Abe Leach and T. w. Harris of Pleasanton will complete the list. In the Auditors office J. Cal Ewing has signified his intention of appointing J. J. Hannifin Jr. as his chief deputy, and James B. Dean an assistant.
 Mortimer Smith and J. w. Stetson. who have been elected City Justices, will be Police Judge and Justice respectively, the choice being reposed in the Mayor. The Police Judge will have to appoint clerk of his court and an official stenographer.
 When Oscar L. Rogers assumes the duties of the Sheriff he will have to ap- point an Under Sheriff, two jailers, four bailiffs of the Superior Court and a host of other deputies. w. s. Harlow, who has been Under Sheriff for twenty-three years, does not expect to be succeeded by a stranger.
 The other deputyships will be scattered all over the county. Louis Schoneau or Alameda, George Taylor of Livermore, George Wales of Newark and Sam Heller, who was a candidate for Sheriff but re- signed in favor of Rogers, are also declar- ing they have the inside track to the Sheriff's office.
 Assessor Dalton will make no changes in his office, and 1t is said that County Clerk Jordan will also retain all his pres ent deputies, although he will have to ap- point a chief deputy to succeed Auditor elect Cal Ewing.
 The reelection of Messrs. Church and Talcott for Supervisors guarantees a continuation of the terms of office of the county employees.
 Recorder-elect Grim requires two dep uties and he will undoubtedly take one of them from the street railroad men, who organized for the sole purpose of electing their old superintendent.
 Coroner-elect Mehrmann has some deputies to appoint throughout the coun- ty. Deputy Quellin will probably not be disturbed, as he has done good service. The morgue will remain at Albert Browns establishment.
 The township offices have been filled as
 Eden Township-Justice of the Peace. Pimental fnsion), Quinn (fusion); Con- stables Gallett fusion, Ramage (R9. Peace, Richmond (fusion), Sandholdt (R0; .Constables, Vanderwoort R.), Ire fry fusion).

length and do sufficient business to be counted as more than street railways. If such lines as these had been included in the report the showing for our railroad enterprises would have been far better even than 1t IS.
 Railway construction affords fairly accurate gauge of business conditions in this country. The work demands all kinds of material from cross-ties to equipments for palace cars, and nearly all classes of people benefited in their trade. The record ot increased construction is therefore doubly gratifying as an evidence of the increased prosperity of both labor and capital.

Seeks a New Trial.

Carlotta Quackenbush, who claims to be the widow of the late Thomas Quacken- bush, filed two affidavits yesterday in the Superior Court in support of her motion for new trial. In her affidavit Mrs Quackenbush ayers that she was greatly handicapped during the last trial in being financially unable to get witnesses she required. Since that time she has com pleted her case and asks another hearing. Simon Levy, who at one time resided in the same house occupied by the Quacken- bushes, made affidavit that he recollected that Quackenbush recognized the plain tiff as his wife and lived with her as her husband.

A JUSTIFIABLE BOYCOTT.

~ RDINARILY the boycott is a detestable { weapon, yet on the principle of fighting the V devil with fire it may reasonably be employed, No one will find fault with the marriageabe young ladies of Alameda who have united for the elimination from social life of a certain bachelors club, lot of men banded in defiance of the Alamedan charmer and the Embellishments of Hymen.
 If bachelors choose to meet for jolly time, to smoke even to drink in moderate quantity, there is no rebuke due But combination for the evil pur- pose of evading matrimony verges upon the crim- nal The young ladies have undertaken a work of moral as well as social reform. II a bachelor feels that he cannot unasssted resist the inclination to propose he has no business to remain in Alameda, where the temptation is so strong Let him flee to the wilderness. It is cowardly for him to collect others of his kind about him Some of them if left alone, might reform and live happily after, but l the companionship of seasoned, hardened, woman hating sinners, have chance of leading better lives.
 To succeed in their efforts, and fttingy punish the transgressors the young ladies must not only break up the club but, having brought the penitent mem bers their knees simply promise in every instance, to be sister

JAMES GOT MAD
And Hit Wingate Lindsay in the
Neck


The Lindsay adultery case came to an
abrupt termination yesterday morning in
Justice Morrison's court, but 1t Is proba-
BILE that there may be more arrests as the
result of the affair. Wingate Lindsay, the
husband of the defendant, was the only
material witness the prosecution had, and
he failed to prove that Mrs. Lindsay had
been guilty of having illict relations with
Frank Reposo, a tamale manufacturer on
Boyd street. The woman's friends and re-
lations gave her an excellent character,
and at the conclusion of their testimony
I. B. Dockweiler, who conducted the de-
tense, moved that the jury be instructed
to acQuit. Attorney Ladd followed for the
prosecution and scored the woman very
severely. Mrs. Lindsay was on the point
several times of making some sort of
demonstration, but was persuaded not by
her attorney. The court instructed the
jury to acquit the woman, which was done
without leaving their seats.
Mrs. Lindsay went out of the room sur
rounded by her friends, and she threatened
to slap the faces of her husband and Ladd
for their assaults on her character. She
did not do so, however, but AL James, a
relative of the defendant, met Lindsay at
the foot of the stairs and proceeded to tell
him what he thought of him as prose-
cutting witness. James finally smashed
Lindsay in the neck and then started in to
do him up in good style. but Lindsay and
Ladd beat a hasty retreat down the street.
Deputy Constable Mugnemi was on the
scene promptly, but did not arrest James
because the other fellow ran away. Lind
say is likely to hear from James again,
however.

NO ONE IN COURT
Joralamen Divorce Suit Postponed
Owing to Lack of Presentation

The divorce suit of Mrs. Sarah N. Jora-
lamen against her husband, Jacob c., was
to have been tried yesterday in Department
six, but as neither the litigants nor their
attorneys showed up the trial had to be
postponed. This is one of those sad cases
where couple, after having been married
nearly forty years and having reared
children, who themselves have offspring,
find the matrimonial ties which bind them
so unbcarable that nothing but divorce
can satisfy them. The loathing which they
have for one another cannot be kept con-
cealed, but even that does not deter them
from appealing to the courts and exposing
the skeleton In the closet to the public.
Mrs. Joralamen is nearly "a years old and
her husband Is ten years younger. They
were married in 1866 in Mclean county
Illinois. At that time the wifa owned a
240-acre ranch. which was valued at $4,000.
Years ago the Joralamens moved to Cali
fornia with their children and took up their
residence In this county, purchasing sew
eral lots in the Hoover-street tract. Hus-
band and wife have not been able to agree
for a long time. Mrs. Joralamen ascribed

1t all to her lords high temper and abusive
tongue. He called her q crank, a lunatic
and an imbecile whenever his rage over
whelmed him and threatened to have her
bottled up in an insane asylum. He not
only abused her, but subjected the child
rem to like indlgnities, she claims Specific
acts are not quite SO convincing as the
eeneralities of Mrs. Joralamen's complaint
For instance, she alleges that one time her
grandson George brought her blackberry
pie and other delicaces. The old man flew
into q high temper at once and refused to
allow the things to be brought to the house.
Another instance cited by the wife was
that her husband deliberately discharged
hired girl who had shown her sympathy
about the end OF last year. 1t will take
something more than ordinary willingness
to have another alleged act of old Jorala-
mems construed as extreme cruelty. This
is his habit Of smoking cigarettes in her
presence.
The plaintiff wants a decree of divorce, q
half interest In the Hoover-street lots and
$4,000 alimony. The case is to be contested
hotly.
