MORE PARK CARRIAGES.
Merchants and Commissioners Are
Pleased With the Cheap Con-
Veyances

The members of the Merchants Asso-
citation and Park Commissioners are
highly pleased with the success reported
for the cheap buses and carriages in
Golden Gate Park. When Superintendent
King of the association was in the East
he found that such passenger convey.
ances are in use in all of the parks of the
larger cities and public grounds, and he
concluded that they would be as much
appreciated here as elsewhere. After a
number OF interviews with the Park Com
missioners fHe latter decided to give the
project a trial. A route about four miles
in length was laid out taking in the prin-
cipal places Of interest and arrangements
We're made for the issuing of stOp-over
checks so that the trip could be made by
the sight-seers by slow stages.
The carriages were started on the first
of the month. and those who have charge
Of the vehicles report to the assOcia ton
that the result of the experiment is more
than satisfactory. The first carriages put
into service have been running full ever
since the first day. Arrangements are
being made to increase the number as
fast as the management can learn what
to expect from the public in the way of
a steady patronage. This will be learned
within very few days.

THE CANNON BURST.

Joseph Shelton. a shoemaker. was ar
rested yesterday by Detective Ryan and
Policeman Heffernan and booked at the
City Prison on charge OF discharging
firearms within the city limits. 1t is a
wonder that he was not in the Morgue
instead of the prison.
James T. MCManus got a permit from
the Mayor TO fire off cannon made of
cast-iron and weighing thirty-five pounds
on the Fourth at Tenth and Harrison
streets. After firing off the cannon a
number of times it was placed in the yard
in the rear of William Smiths saloon, on
the corner.
Wednesday afternon Shelton took the
cannon out of the yard and he and Smith
and Peterson, the blacksmith, loaded 1t
in the blacksmiths shop. Shelton carried
it to the northeast corner, close to Nc
Dermotts butcher shop, and fired 1t off.
1t was reloaded and again fred off. but
burst into pieces. One of the pieces.
weighing about five pounds, was hurled
through third-story window of the
house occupied by Mrs. II. GetChen,
knocked down the cage containing a
canary and struck the wall in the room,
breaking the plastering. Another piece
went through the weather boards of the
butcher shop. Still another piece struck
Shelton on the leg, causing an abrasion.

90S Broadway, July 6.
Now il is a 1agpole.
It has often been said that nothing can
be done in Oakland. from feeding a pris-
oner to improving a street, but what is
dominated by politics. Now the lofty flag
pole which with its handsome flag forms
the only public ornament in Oakland is a
bone of contention. Nobody will own it.
Some think 1t is dangerous. and the beau
tiful large flag. which can be seen all over
the city, is the innocent cause of much
contention.
The Mayor wants to know who gave the
Fourth of July committee permission to
erect fiagpOie in the middle of public
street. City Attorney Dow and City En-
gineer Clement gave permission for il to
be erected in the City Hall Park, but
without any further authority the 200 feet
of timber was carried to Telegraph ave
nue. and New Broadway and there erect

Craigie Sharp. who was one of the
prime movers in the fagpole incident, is
indignant that any one should criticize
the work of the committee.
Oakland needed a fiagpole.' said Mr..
Sharp, and now we have as good one
rs there is in the country. We are pay
ing no attention to GROWERS, of whom
there are bound to be some in Oakland 1t
would have been folly TO have placed the
pole in the City Hall Park which might
be sold at any time. 1t will stay where
it is until the city wants it removed"
John A. Britton laughs at the fears of
those who think that the big pole may
tOpple over. He says that it is just bare
ly possible that should a cyclone strike
Oakland the top of the pole might be
blown off, but that he is perfectly willing
to sleep in the shadow of the pole all the
rest of his days.
Mayor Snow is not quite sure who the
paraphernalia belongs to. There has been
no dedication of the pole to the city, and
he is not in favor of accepting it. Not
that the Mayor is unpatriotic. but his
commercial mind has already given to him
the idea that if the city should own the
pole and it should topple over and kill
somebody or break few roofs the city
would have to pay the damages As mat
ters now stand poor litigant would have
an endless job seeking to place the re-
spOnsibilty for the accident.
The fiagpole will probably be an issue
in the next city campaign.
The Christian Endeavorers, through
their county president are incensed that
the pole should have been raised and
painted on the Sabbath, and this leads G.
a. Blank of the committee to remark that
Sampson and SChley did something on the
Sabbath last July and were not criticized
for their conduct.
