MRS. MARY HOLDEN Is
NOW REPORTED DEAD
SHE MYSTERIoUSLY DISAP-
FEARED LAST AUGUST.
Left a Letter Threatening Suicide,
but It Proved to Be Ruse to
Fool Her Creditors.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 21-The Alameda rel
atives of Mrs. Mary Holden, who disap-
peared from here last August, gave out
the statement to-day that the woman
died January 8 at Allegheny. Pa. Mrs. A.
B. Andrews, sister of Mrs. Holden, states
that the news came in letter sent to
parties in San Francisco. According to
the information Mrs. Holden was sick
but a day, pneumonia being the cause
of death.
When Mrs. Holden disappeared she left
a letter intimating that she intended to
commit suicide by jumping into the ocean
from the Cliff House. Later it developed
that she was heavily in debt and short in
her accounts with Thomas A. Smith, for
whom she acted as bookkeeper.
Some weeks ago The Call published ex-
clusively the fact that the woman was
not dead, but that her letter threatening
suicide was ruse to keep her creditors
from tracking her.
Some of the Alameda creditors refuse to
believe the story that Mrs. Holden is
dead. They are very bitter against her,
and assert their belief that she is the
author of the letter announcing her own
death.

A little paper recently filed with the
City Clerk is proving of considerable in
terest TO the merchants and landlords who
are anxious to prevent shops being built
on the sidewalk. The paper is clam
from Joseph Mangini, who asks that the
city pay him 1882 for damages sustained
by forcibly removing his old-time fruit
store at Seventh and Washington streets.
For many years there has been a small
market maintained at this point. In other
parts of the city similar stores have been
conducted, some of them being fitted out
with mirrors, ice-eream fountains and
shutters, making them practically the
same as any permanent place or business.
few months ago the Merchants Elk
change was largely instrumental in the
passage of an ordinance authorizing the
Street Superintendent to remove all such
distractions. Mangini was among the
victims.
If his complaint be true, 1t is a very
profitable business to run stand on a
street corner. He segregates his bill for
the loss of his stock and his loss of
profits; and for the month of December
he declares that his profits would have
been, judging by precedent, over 5000. The
merchants declare that any store making
such profits should not be permitted TO
do business on the sidewalk, but should
carry it on in a legitimate store and be
required to pay it's share of taxes.
There is however, another feature to
this case which is being watched with
equal interest. On September 80 Mangini
was granted a license by the city of Oak
land, for which he paid the proper fee,
giving him permission to transact his
business. This license did not expire till
December 81. Before he had had his IL
cense one month his place of business was
forcibly removed, and his demand on the
city for $592 is, of course simply the ini-
tial proceeding toward bringing suit, un-
less the city should decide to pay it,
which it certainly will not.

San Leandro's latest ambition is TO have
a paid fire department, and, it will prob
ably be gratified by the trustees. This
move is considered necessary on account
of the locating of a large cannery in that
town, and the prospect that other estab-
lishments will follow.
Trustee Cary has framed an ordinance
which has been submitted to the town
trustees, providing for the fire depart
ment An objection has been made that
if the fire department become paid in
stitution it will undoubtedly exercise an
influence in the politics of the town, as
there will certainly be a scramble for the
patronage.
formed that $500 wads are used freely in
their midst in politics, it is very anus
ing to note the financial value of the
patronage scramble in the proposed ire
department in San Leandro.
Trustee Cary'S ordinance proposes to
nav each member of the department 81 %
her month, or total of SIS per yeai.
The department is to consist of twenty
members, who shall not be under is nor
more than 45 years of age. In addition
70 this remuneration the firemen shall
receive 81 for each fire which they may
attend It is expected that at the next
meeting of the board the ordinance will
become a law and that the scramble for
those 81 25 places will commence.

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
USE THEIR REV0LVERS
VEGETABLE VENDER MISTAK-
EN- FOR A SMUGGLER.
Mr.. Gighilone Has an Unpleasant Ex-
perience on the Bay Farm
Island Bridge.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 21.-Customs officials
from San Francisco made an attempt this
morning to locate opium smugglers, sup
posed to have their headquarters on Bay
Farm Island, and in their efforts came
near shooting vegetable peddler named
Gighilone.
For some months suspicious craft has
been making periodical visits along the
western shore of the island, and once or
twice has ventured up to the arm of the
bay toward the Bay Farm Island bridge.
The movements of the vessel created con-
siderable comment, and gave rise to the
impression that she was engaged in some
that some of the Italian or Chinese yege-
table gardeners on the island were in
league with the supposed smugglers.
Last night three customs officers came
gauge boat, prepared to make an investi-
cation. The mysterious boat had been
seen along the island shore the day be-
fore, and 1t was surmised that the Snug
gled goods would be brought to Alameda
in the loads of vegetables that come from
the island every morning for shipment to
San Francisco and the towns around the
bay. The officials hid themselves ON the
bridge leading into town to intercept the
wagons coming this way. About o'clock
Gighilone came along, and the officials
shouted to him to throw up his hands
and halt Thinking the men were foot
pads. the vegetable vender whipped up his
horses to make his escape. The officials
drew their revolVerS and began hiring.
After several bullets had whizzed uncom-
fortably near the Italians head he con-
Guided it was time to stop. He prepared
to yield up his valuables when the three
men surrounded him. He was greatly re-
lieved when they announced they We're
officers and that they suspected him of
being a smuggler.
The men made thorough search of
Gfghilone's vegetables, but found no evil
de9ce that he was following anything but
a legal occupation. They then gave up
their plan of action and went to the
island to try and locate the headquarters
of the alleged smugglers, but in this they
were also unsuccessful.

Arcadia and Timothy Mahoney. through
their attorneys, Crowell & Leach, to-day
filed their answer to the suit of Jose G.
Moraga, brought some time ago for the
recovery of $500 which plaintiff claims
the defendants induced him to part with
as an investment in an electrical ma
chine of perpetual motion.
Moraga is a well to do rancher in the
valley which claims his name and Tim.
othy Mahoney was formerly employed by
the Southern Pacific Company at FL Paso,
Texas. There Timothy began delying
into the secrets of perpetual motion
Last January Timothy believed that
he had discovered the secret whereby per-
tricity could be, constructed" says the
answer filed to-day, but the feasibility
and practicability of the idea had not
been demonstrated. but the plaintiff be,
came greatly exercised over perpetual
motion, and in view of soon reaping fab
ulous. wealth offered to contribute the
$500 for experiments"
The answer then goes on to aver that
Timothy soon quit his employment and
he and his mother were induced to re-
move TO San Francisco, where he opened
a small shop on Mission street. There
he has ever since been studying and ex-
perimenting and working out his idea Of
perfecting perpetual motion machine,
and the $500 has thus been applied.
So earnestly did Timothy work that in
June. 1898, so says the answer, near the
beginning Of the Spanish-American war,
he was arrested by secret service officers
and accused of being a Spanish spy con-
structlng. an internal and destructive ma

his ardor, but the perpetual motion ma
chine has not yet been Matched, though
when it does, the answer sets forth, No
raga shall have a one-fourth interest in
the same. according to their agreement.
The defendants vigorously deny all allu-
sion to fraud or inconsistency, and ask
that Moraga take nothing by his suit.
