| PITS. Among so large a body of chill

Mayor Ward wrote to Mr.. Brom-
berg, in which 1t was stated that in
asmuch as the "Edisonia" had not been
proved nuisance. there was no longer
reason for the Withholding of the Ii

for the dropping of the third and last
charge against Mr.. Bromberg. that of
operating without a license.

Santa Cruz, CAL, January 5.-Nothing
has been received here confirming the re-
port that the steamer City of Panama has
been wrecked off Pigeon Point.
This afternoon a number of officials of
the Portland Cement company assembled
the mountains in the neighborhood of
their plant, which is located ten miles
south of Waddell Creek, and searched the
horizon with pair of heavy field glasses.
The quest was fruitless. and they scout
the idea that the City of Panama, or any
other vessel is aground off Pigeon Point,
claiming that there are no rocks in those
waters except those in the immediate vi
entity of the lighthouse, which is easily
distinguished from the beach.

San Francisco, January 5.-The life
RATS which drifted ashore at Waddell
Beach on the coast north Of Santa Cruz,
and which were supposed to have come
from the Pacific mail liner City of Pan
anna, was inspected this afternono by a
representative of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company and identified as belonging
to that steamer. The finding of the RATS
with cask of water and crackers last
night caused serious apprehension here
that the City of Panama had foundered,
and during the day conflicting reports
We're received.
The theory is gaining ground that the
life RATS were washed overheard from the
City of Panama by a high sea. This is
strengthened by the fact that it is known
that the steamer encountered strong gales
and heavy seas after leaving this port.

an application for a writ of man

to compel the recent city election

engaged for the relator were Rol-
Inns g. Crawford and j. G.. Hunt.
Those appearing for the respon-

fore denied. A similar case,
amended to suit this ruling of
the court was instituted immedi-
ately and is to be tried at ANA
