At a regular meeting of the fire companies last night the Weber and Eureka oompanles decided to withdraw their machines from tbe publio service on Tuesday next unless on tho preceding night the City Council votes to puichase them. What the result of this action will be not known. Councilman themselves cannot say. It Is probable that terms demanded by the companies will be acceded to. This would be the caso almost without questiqn were there moans to be temporarily used In case suoh a withdrawal.

But It happens that even If the two engine companies go out of service, the city will not be completely helpless in case of fire. There are uow two fire engines available in case of emergency. Oue of them the Old Betsy, which belongs to the city; the other is a second-hand machino brought from the East by a man named Hall. Hall offered it to the oity for $1,800, and the offer is still open. At present the engine is boused at the Weber house.

It works well, apparently, but of course Us durability is not known. Tbe Old Betsy is also serviceable. During the big fire at Moore Smiths lumber yard she worked two days and did well. Even if the Eureka and Weber companies withdraw, the San Joaquin Babcock engine and the Hook and Ladder truck will still remain. As the city owns the hose and hose-carts and bouses It could take possession of all the apparatus except the horses and steamers, and put the two engines into tbe places left vacant by the' withdrawal.

At 2 oclock to-morrow afternoon the interested parlies will meet at Lodi and tbe transfer will be made.

Several of the old company members will remain in the new organization, but tho capitalists (of whom there aro four) are to purchase a controlling share of the stock. As contemplated the scheme of irrigation is to be carried out mainly in that region lying between the Mokelumne and Calaveras rivers. The water will be conducted from tbe former in a canal fifty feet wide, and will taken theuco in ditches for which tho light of way bas already been obtained. The San Diego capitalists interested in the project have had considerable experience in irrigating in the southern country, and have made foi tunes there. They have ample funds to carry out the scheme, and state that they are willing to expend hundreds of thousands of dollars in tbe project.

They are of the opiniou that this county is the place for a boom, and that irrigation will bring it. It is tbe general opinion that the present scheme will result in others, so that within a short time after this project has been carried out, irrigation will be established over the whole eastern half of tbe couuty Tbe new company proposes to begin the work of constructing the canal and ditches immediately.

At a regular meetiog of tbe Free Library Trustees last night Belding moved that the library be closed on Sunday evenings during the warm weather.

It was his opinion that the employes should be granted that evening a respite from their work; and he argued that, owing to the limited funds band, it was not feasible to hire substitutes for them. The motion was seoonded by Hook. President Gower opposed the proposition. He argued that tbe convenience the publio, and not that of the library employes, should be consulted. Miss Mints, Librarian, asserted that few people visited the rooms on Sunday evonings during the hot weather.

She cited the fact that in San Franoisco tbe free library is closed at 5 o'clock Sunday evening. Mr. Gower called the Trustees attention to tbe fact that the proposition must be put to a vote of the full Board. As only three, including himself, were present, the matter was dropped to be taken up at the next regular meeting. DIED.

The Remains of the Drowned Boy Recovered this Afternoon.

Patent Improved, Steamless and Odorless, Non-BoiUOver Kettles. Stockton has an enviable reputation for the cultivation and eneouragement of various healthful athleiio sports. She has sevoral clubs that are champions in their lines, and now a flourishing bioyole olub is uuder way, that will soon con tend for honors in the wheeling arena. For some years there have been a number of good wheelmen here, but not until the I5th of November of last year was an organization effected. The olub qtyled itself The Oak Leaf Wheelmen, and immediately oonnected Itself with the National League of American Wheelmen.

In this State there are four dislriots of the league council, and 0. G. Moore Is the representative from this distrlot. There are now about 15,000 members of the League of Amerioan Wheelmen in this country. At the first meeting of the Oak Leaf Wheelmeu the following-named officers were eleoted: Captain, J.

E. Clifford; Lieutenant, Bert W. Moore; President, 0. C. Moore; Vice-President, Wm.

McKee; Secretary and Treasurer, George W. Hickinbotbam; Color Bearer, Lincoln H. Cook; Bugler, J. E. Hlckin-botham; Local Council, Ben.

B. Lyon. BICYCLE OWNERS. The club meetings are held on the first Friday in each month. There are now twenty members, the following sixteen of whom have their own machines: Charles C.

Moore, John E. Clifford, John E. Hickin botham, George W. Hickinbotbam, William McKee, Frank Esb-baob, Theodore Stelny, Lincoln Cook, Mark Lano, Bert W. Moore, Ben.

B. Lyon, Dave Creaner, Ed. Haas, Harry West and Carl Brueok. Charles Hutchinson and A. L.

Wulff have ordered machines, and they will arrive from the East in a few days. Frank Elliott and John Graham, the only two remaining members of the club, have no machines at present, but they contemplate ordering some soon. Besides, there are four wheelmen in this city who own machines and do not belong to the club. Fred. Baird has an old style Columbia; George Clark, Premier, English make; Barry L.

West, a Columbia Expert, and William Buckly has a new American Challenge maobine. The latter two are too young to obtain admission to the dub. Leroy Moore has a machine on the road from the East, hut his youth will also debar him for a while from the privileges of the olub. Besides those mentioned the following-named wheelmen have no maohlnes and are not members of the club: Fred Clark, William Trethway, George L. Wolf, Albert Smallfield, William Hiok-man, William Thresher and Ira Ladd.

THE RCBBEBED BINGS. In the East quite a number' of ladies who ride tricycles have joined the league. In San Francisco a few have also become members, and recently Mrs. C. C.

Moore of this city sent her application for membership to the league headquarters in the East. The wheels owned id the club have been obtained through the agent in this city, John E. Clifford, and they are all of the Columbia Expert make. They are full nickel plated and their bright and uniform appearance enables the club to produce a striking effoot when they ap pear in a body in publio. Many of the wheelmen here have had bells and lamps attached to tbeir machines.

These are Intended to give warning to passing pedestrians. 4ulte serious accidents have often happened by collisions, especially in the night time. In England and in many cities of the East ordinances have been passed, requiring the use of these warning lamps and bells. The club has deolded to adopt the official league uniform. The color is a light brown, and the suit consists of a coal, knee trousers, cap, shirt and hose.

John Wanamaker of Philadelphia has the contraot from the league to furnish all the suits required by all of Its mem bars in the country. The cloth, which is very peculiar in obaraoter, is kept only by Wanamaker, and no one but league member oau obtain it. On the buttons is stamped the league emblem of the club three wings surrounded by wheel. Bert W. Moore of the olub has recently Invented and put iuto use something of novelty.

It consists of a canopy, which is fastened by of a curved iron rod to tbe head of his machine. On trial trip it proved quite successful and comfortable until an accidental header almost demolished it. EXPERT RIDERS. Cycling is as yet, comparatively speaking, in its infancy in this city, and no very remarkable time has been made, but there are some promising wheelmen in the club. C.

C. Moore once made quarter of a mile on a heavy track in loss than forty seconds. Tbe same wheelman once rode from Waterloo to this city (eight mile9) in thirty-five minutes. This is a remarkably flue and level road, and will probably always be tbe favorite raoing track of local wheelmen. No doubt some excellent time will be made on it in the future.

The road from Lodi (fourteen miles distant) also promises to be a fast track. Charles C. Moore and John E. Hickinbotbam once made the distance in one hour and forty. two minutes.

Bert W. Moore and Mr. Hickinbotbam are also excellent trick riders. They now perform a number of difficult trioke with as muob ease as is displayed by the fancy trick riders of San Franoiaco. THE COMING MEET.

The league of American Wheelmen California division, will hold Us second annual meet at Santa Cruz, beginning Saturday, July 2d, and ending Monday evening, July 4th, of this year. Stockton will be represented at this event by four members of tbe club: District Council Charles C. Moore, Dave Creanor, John E. Clifford and John E. Hickiubotbam.

Mr. Moore and his wife will go to the meet on a new tandem tricycle that will arrive in this city in a few days. It Is so constructed that two can ride on It, one in front of the other. Tbe machine is a very fine one, oostlng $250. After it arrives two lamps and a boll will be attached.

A canopy is also to be put over it. This can be much more easily and seourely attached to a tricycle tbao to a bicycle, and no doubt it will make the machine a comfortable traveling vehicle. The club of Oak Loaf Wheelmen is now in a flourishing coudition, The members are all enthusiastic and active, a number of new people are about to join, and no doubt there will soon be as large and efficient a cycling organization in Stock-ton as is to be found in the State.

A reporter of the Mail interviewed Mrs. Charles Dohrmaun this morning to learn something of interest concerning the past work and the future prospects of the Ladies Aid Society of this oly. Mrs. Dohrmann has been Treasurer of the society since its reorganization, about two years ago. It is an incorporated society, supported by private parties, and Is of a non-sectarian character.

Only occasional aid has been given by the Supervisors of tbe county, and a donation of $75 in March Is all that was given by them this year. The society depends for funds on the monthly subscriptions of merchants and other citizens, and the collections that are made every three months among tbe people. The subscribers (who at presont number fifty-five) pay from 50 cents to $1 a month apiece. Entertainments are also often given for the benefit of tho society, aud they are usually quite liberally patronized by tbe public. Last year $405.65 was raised in this way $227.50 at a picnic, $25 at the Donation Union service and $53.15 at a benefit given at the Stock-ton theater.

In April of last year $75 was given by tbe Supervisors. Tbe money raised by subscriptions and collections was $604.50, the whole amounting to $1,010 25. THIS YEARS FUNDS, This year, so far, the society has received $408.75 as tbe proceeds of benefit entertaiumeuts $167.50 from the Firemens ball in January, aud $301.25 from the baseball game on Decoration Day. Tbe funds of the society are eutirely Insufficient to meet the growing demauds for aid. The only charitable institution supported by the county is the hospital, but practically ouly those can gain ad mission to it who are ill or physically disabled.

THE WORK. The charitable work of the society takes a wide range. It is only iutended to help women and children In case of tbe sickness, death or desertion of husbands and fathers. On accouut of the limited funds this aid is iutended to be only temporary, but the society has had to support a number of families ever since its oxistence. Mothers with families of three or four children have been supported for months at a lime.

Situations are also often obtained for men who have largo families depending upon them, and are out of work, where necessary clothing is collected and distributed lo the poor of all sexes and conditions. In many cases tbe publio does not know just how ueb good the society is doing. Worthy families are often brought to destitution through want. They receive aid from the society, but, being sensitive about having their condition made publio, nothing is ever said about it. Through the efforts of the society homes are also found for many orphan children.

IMPOSTERS. Since the introduction of tbe low fares on tbe steamers from San Franoisco, the tax on the funds of the organization has been very materially increased. Many families come here to obtain work, arriving eotirely without funds, and are soon appealing for charity. Then again, the society is often unwittingly imposed upon by traveling imposters, who make a business of going from towu to town and remaining as long as some aid sooiety will support them. As soon as this fact is ascertained all aid is withdrawn, but it is impossible to tell Immediately whether or not applicants are worthy, lienee oft-repealed loss from imposition is unavoidable AIDING THE CHILDREN.

Mrs. Dohrmann informed the reporter that she has been at some pains to ascertain the condition of the childien whose mothers are being supported by tbe society. It is, in tbe great majority of cases, truly deplorable. The children are ragged, dirty and dissolute, and among them are many boys and girls who have reached the age of 14 years, and who are not able to read or write. They are being brought up without any moral restraint, and many of them have, at tender years, already begun a career of orlme.

Mrs. Dohrmann is very earnest iu her efforts to apply some remedy to this evil. Such children should be oompelled to go to publio sebool, and tho mothers should be given some aaeful work. This work could often be obtaioed, but the women usually make various excuses, and refuse to take it. The principal excuse of mothers is that they cannot go out to work on account of having a houseful of small children tbat they cannot leave alone.

This la a very good excuse, and Mrs. Dohrmann is anxious to remove it by providing a home and infauts shelter for the accommodation of the children during the daytime while tbeir mothers areaway at work. Such institutions have been very successful elsewhere. INFANTS SHELTER. Besides reoeivlug the ordinary sohool instruction, the children are taught to be clean and to employ themselves in various useful household duties.

In this mauner it is thought that tbe source of supply of tbe future criminal classes will be cut off. It has been contemplated to fouud such an institution for some time, but the funds of the sooiety are barely sufficient to meet current ex-i. It is hoped, however, that some means will shortly be provided for its establishment. Iq December of lAst year a meeting of tbe Pacific Conference of Charities was held at the Union Square ball in San Francisco. Mrs.

Dohrmann was the representative from tbe Stockton society. The meeting lasted a week. The Ladies Aid Society is now iu conjunction with the Boys aud Girls Aid Society of San Francisco. THE MEMBERSHIP. The society is very anxious to secure additional members.

Even if the ladies do not feel able on account of other duties to become active members, their assistance in the way of dues will be very material aid. The dues are only fifty cents a month. But six new members have joined the society during the present year, making thirty-six in all. The present officers are: President, Mrs. J.

Goldsworthy, Uerlach A Wagner, in in a Sheriff Cunningham has issuod an interesting little pamphlet for the benefit of peace officers, giving various laws of this Slate bearing on arrests. The pamphlet is not only interesting to all officers, but to the public as well, for it shows in a concise form the extent to which the power of arrest goes, and the rights of individuals to resist arrest under certain ciroumstauces. Generally speaking, if an officer has do authority to make an arrest (or if, having tbe authority, lie is not known to be an officer and does not notify tbe party that be Is an officer and has the authority) the party whose arrest is attempted may lawfully resist But he must not take the officer's life unless bis own is imminently threatened. He may stand bis ground and repel force by force, bub he must take care that the force ho uses does not exceed tho bounds of mere defense and prevention, and tbat it does not become enormously disproportionate to the injury tbreatoued. Evon after being arrested (if the arrest is unlawful) the prisoner is jut-tifiabld In escaping; but he must use no more force than is uecessary to accomplish this object.

Of course, the party whose arrest is attempted is responsible iu cae he resists under a fa We impression tbat tbe law is on his sido. If it turns out that the al tempted arrest was lawful, the party has been guilty of a felony. SHOOTING BY OFFICERS. Iu making a lawful arrest tbe officer must use no more force than is necessary. If it is necessary, however, he Is justifiable in taking tbe life of the porsou whom he is endeavoring to arrest, and the homicide will be justifiable.

This rule applies to cases both of mia-demeauors and felonies where resistance is made. But if no resistance is offered, and tbe party simply trios to escapo, tho officer has a right lo atop him with a pistol-bullet (after a warning) only iu cases of felony, In eases of misdemeanor, however, the officer has no right to shoot the fugitive because be will not stop. The fugitive has a perfect right to protect under these circumstances. Thus, if a police officer were to shoot at a fugitive tramp whose arrest was contemplated ou a misdemeanor, the tramp would be justified in turning aud killing him. If, however, the contemplated arrest was for a felony, the case would be different.

(Felony iu this State means a crime for which the accused is liable to hanging or imprisonment in the State Prison. Misdemeanor means crime punishable by imprisonment in (he County or City Jail. High misdemeanor signifies crimes punishable by imprisonment either in jail or in State Prison, according tohe option of the Court.) ARRESTING WITHOUT A WARRANT. Officers have no authority to arrest people accused simply of misdemeanor, unless they are armed with warrants. They have authority to arrest without a warrant under the following circumstances: For a public offence committed or attempted in their presence; when the person to be arrested has commuted a felony, although not in their presence; when a felony has iu fact been committed and there Is reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrested is tbe one who committed it; on a charge made upon reasonable cause of the commission of a felony by the party to bo arrested; and at uigbt, wbeu there is reasonable ground for believing tbat he has committed some folouy.

But iu case a misdemeanor is commuted tbe presence of an officor and he fails to arrest the offender immediately, he cannot arrest him afterwards unless authorized by a warrant. ARRESTS BY PRIVATE PERSONS. The idea tbat only officors have the right of making arrests is wide spread, notwithstanding the fact that it is altogether erroneous. Private individuals have almost as much power as have officers. The main difforonco between tbe two that the private citizen may make the arrest if he choses to, whereas tho officer must make it whether he chose or not; in the former cue It is a right that should be exercised, in the second a duty that must be.

This is the practical view taken of it, although it has been decided that a private citizen who fails to arrest a person committing a felony in his presence is liable lo punishment for his neglect. The private individual may make arrests under the following circumstances: For a publio offense committed or attempted in his presenco; wheu the person arrested has committed a felouy, although not In his preseuce; when a felony has been in fact committed and be bas reasonable cause for believing that the person arrested is the one who committed it. However, the citizen runs more risk than tho officer in the latter case. Although be bas reasonable cause for what he does, he is not justifiable should it turn out that as a matter of fact uo felony has been committed; an officer, on the other band, is justified under the like circumstance. But if a felony has been committed tbe citizon is justified in making the arrest (provided he was actuated by reasonable suspicion) even though tbe prisoner is not the guilty party But the private individual has no authority to arrest on a warrant; only officers can do that.

SUMMONING ASSISTANCE. It is not alone the officer who bas a right to summon assistance to aid him in making arrests; the private individual has the same authority. True, the laws do not specifically mention the latter in providing for the punishment of those who refuse to obey the summous, but by implication a refusal to obey such a summons when given by a private person is punishable under section 839 of the Peual Code, which reals: Any person making an arrest may orally summon as many persons as be dooms necessary to aid him therein. Any male person over 18 yoars of age who refuses to obey a summons to aid in making an atrest or in rotakiug an escaped prisoner is punishable by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $1,000. FORCIHLE ENTRY.

In making an arrest for foiony, even a private individual has a right to break open a door or a window of the houe iu which tho person to be arrested is found, or in which there is reasonable ground for believing he will be found. But he must first dernaud admittance aud explain his business. Officers or others have no right, of course, to break into a house in case of misdemeanor unless armed with a warrant. And in case an officer has a warrant for the arrest of anyoue on a charge of misdemeanor, be cannot make the arrest at night unless upon the direction of a magistrate, in dorsed upon the warrant. MISCELLANEOUS.

A lawful arrest may be made at any place evon at tbe church or in tbe graveyard. If acting on a arrant, the officer must show the warrant if asked lo do so. Private individuals making arrests mut take tho prisoners, without unnecessary delay, before a magistrate or deliver them over to officers. The person (officer or private citizen) making an arrest must inform tbe person to he arrested of tbe intention to arrest him aud of tbe cause of tbe arrest unless the offense is committed in bis preseuce, or the porson is pursued inline diately after its commission. If a prisoner for misdemeanor is shot while attempting to escape, tbe officer Is by The is tbe no of do is 8T of 25 I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A FULL LINE OF the best Imported and Domestic Cigars, And continue to sell the STOCKTON MAIL as the BIST FIVE-CENT CIGAR on the coast, M.
