90S Broadway, Oct. 8.
The police in North Oakland had an in
teresting search last night. They were
charged with the duty of recovering
woman. a child and a house, and Of unit
ing all three.
Lase last night the message was sent to
headquarters that little girl was miss
ing During the afternoon Mrs. Blum and
her young daughter went to a house she
had rented on Grace avenue, Lorin. Some
how or other the woman could not find
the house, and she left the child on the
corner of Calais street while she tried to
find the place she had rented. The mother
wandered off and lost her way. A police
man saw a little girl quietly sleeping on
the grass near a street corner and carried
her to the house of the nearest family,
where she was given into the care of
Mrs. Simpson. 1t was nearly midnight
when the mother ceased hunting for her
child, and still had not found her house,
having no other direction than faint
idea of it's appearance. A coed. of the
university met the young mother and took
her to her home for the night. This morn
ing the police reunited mother and child,
and after a search found their home for
them. The officer tackled a large pencil
number on the front door before leaving,
so that the mothers forgetfuness would
not give the police department another
nights work.

He THREATE NED
HER LIFE WITH
GUN AND RAZOR
Divorce Granted to
Florence Kelly.
!. a.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway. Oct. s.
The unhappy matrimonial experience of
Mrs. Florence Kelly was terminated this
afternoon, when Superior Judge Greene
granted to her a divorce from James
Kelly on the grounds of willful neglect
extreme cruelty and habitual intemper-
ance.
The unhappy womans story, as related
in her complaint and in her testimony
teemed with cruelty and abuse dating al
most from the time of the marriage in
May, 1885. Shortly after the nuptials the
husband, who earns a salary of 800 per
month, became addicted to the liquor
habit. On one occasion, so Mrs. Kelly's
story goes. he came home late one night
and dragged her about the house by her
hair. Her submission to such acts ap
parently emboldened the husband, for at
another time, she says, he threatened TO
cut her throat with razor; and in April
of 1898 he welded q revolver, threatening
to shoot her. But for the timely interfer-
ence of bystanders Kelly might have
ended her life. Finally one day, Mrs.
Kelly claims, her husband sold out all
the household furniture and abandoned
her and their little three-year-old child.
In granting the decree Judge Greene
awarded the custody of the child to the
mother and directed the husband to pay
monthly alimony in the sum of $50.
George E. Moenning commenced suit for
a divorce to-day against Emma j. Moen-
ming. The complaint prepared by Attor-
ney H. c. Schaertzer, recites desertion.
Kate Lucy Myrick commenced suit to-
day against Robert Luther Myrick for
$35 per month alimony pending her divorce
suit and $3.50 for expenses. She asks also
that a receiver be appointed to collect the
rents from the homestead property.
In the divorce suit of May E. Fink
against Alonzo w. Fink, defendant, by his
attorney, r. r. Ragland, to-day filed
motion to strike out from the complaint
certain paragraphs also demurrer to
the insufficiency of facts alleged.

X OVERNOR Gage has revived the
political gold brick industry in this
| r county. The latest recipient of one
~ of these treasures is james P. Oliver
of Berkeley, who had been positively
promised the position of Deputy Labor
Commissioner.
Several weeks ago his frierds, who in
clude the most prominent Republicans in
this county, were given assurance that
Oliver would get the job. Several mem
bers of the State Central Committee were
also assured by Mr.. Gage, or possibly
Colonel Burns, that Oliver would be re-
warded for his work in the last campaign.
The promises given all of them were gold
bricks.
The disappointment of A. J. Reid, who
had been called by the Governor to the
Palace Hotel to receive the Labor Com
missionership, and who was then given
a gold brick, was as nothing compared
to the surprise and disappointment of the
friends of Mr.. oliver. In addition to the
Endorsements already referred to every
Senator and Assembyman in this county,
including the four who stood Loyalty by
Burns, requested the Governor to ap-
point Oliver, and received assurances of
compliance.
When It was announced that Mr.. Kelsey
of Santa Clara was to be the Assistant
State Labor Commissioner Alameda
County Republicans wondered to what
end they had worked so Loyalty last fall
to swell the majority of Mr. Gage. In
this instance as in that of Mr.. Reid. di-
rect promises were given with the same
result.
Oliver during the last two campaigns,
has gone on the stump at the suggestion
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee, and made a very successful cam
paigner. He was promised a reward, and
the whole county united in his indorse-
ment. only to find that Governor Cages
promises are like the proverbial pie
crust.
So much indignation has been expressed
at the latest action of the Governor
toward Alameda County that an assur-
ance has teen given that Oliver will be
taken care Of but no more faith is put
in this promise than the last. Mr.. Oliver
comes from Berkeley, which district was
nisrepresented in the last Assembly by
Mr. Howard Wright. 1t is possible that
Mr.. Oliver may have at some time or
other expressed his disapproval of the
manner in which Mr.. Wright acted, and
that he is now being punished for his
grave indiscretion.
Oliver was one Of the foremost leaders
of the movement in the interest of DR..
G. c. Par1ee for Governor. 1t is said that
he had hand in composing that cele-
brated ode first sung at Sacramento.
