The An Excited Frenctanaii Kills Louis Gallagher. THE ALLEGED CAUSE OF THE CRIIE; 9. Betle Says He Was Bzasperatedl hyBoysamd Tbey Heeded Not Hi Warning. 3. M.

Serfs, a Frenchman, was lodged the County Jail this morning and charged with morder for having caused the death of Louis Gallagher, a lad fifteen years, at Temescal, Tbe pris oner seemed very much excited when -seen by a Xbibu-b reporter at the Jail this moraiag and was anxiows to know anything could be done with him. For tbe past 'fonr years Sens bas been residing with his wife and three children at tha corner of Forty-second street and Tele- graon avenue. He is a mattress repairer, and has a store in the front ot tbe building and lives in the rooms in tbe rear. He claims that for the past year a gang of boys, who Uve in the neighborhood, bave rendered his life a burden, and be has often warned them to aeep away. Home months ago, he says, they broke all tbe windows in his store and be was unable to get any sat -isfaction.

Yesterday afternoon tha gaug commenced their operations as usual. The boys would to tbe front door and push it open and cry, "Ot I you old Frenchman. Sens says that he chased them away several times, and when he would re turn to the bouse the boys would throw stones at the building, and in proof of ms statement be asserts that bis back yard is now covered with stones thrown by the gang. "ist nient about o'clock." said Serfs, "about six bova congregated in front of my house. "I paid no attention to them until ther kicked at mr door, and then "I came out and they ran away.

Tbis was repeated several times, and finally I warned them that if they came and opened my door again I would shook them, noticed a boy, lxuis Gallagher, among tbe gang and had seen him at my place several times before. He was contmuallv annoying me with the other boys. After I had given them, the warning I returned into tbe house, and bad not been tbere long before beard a racket' at my front door. Sam one opened tbe door and oom- menced to call me all kinds of names. I again went our and chased the boys away.

When I re turned t3 tbe house I got my shotgun. It has been about a year and a half since I ha ve used it, and I did not know whether it was loaded or not. I laid in wait to see if tbe boys would aeain re turn tomnoy me. I did not have to wait long, for the boys soon came in front of tbe store again. I saw Galla gher walk up and open my door, and as be did so ran oat and fired.

Gallagher fell to the ground, and returned to tbe store. I did not intend to shoot him, and my object in shooting was to scare the boys in or- der to prevent them from annoying me, 1 I did not know that tbe eun was loaded- Gallagher was the only boy shot be- w'. cause be was the only one wao happened to be in the line of the gun. I think I have a right to protect my property and believe I will come out of this all right." Tbe charee of bird shot struck tbe brr in the right knee, inflicting a painful wound. He was removed to his home we afore Remarks About the Girls When the Band Plays.

The Fifth Infantry Regiment band was playing its best in the City Hall park last Friday evening and a crowd of boys stood near the band stand. A couple of younggirls passed and one of the boys, A. J. Robinson, said, "Ain't sne got one nau-i umcer craft lighted upon him and arrested him for disturbing tbe peace. This morntnff he leaded guilty, but said he thoaght he isturbed nobody's peace.

He just made a remark about a young lady's hair. IX'Putv District Attorney Church said to the court that many young men are accustomed to gather in tbe City Hall park and adjacent streets when the band ia plaving and make remarks about passing yeung ladies, and sometimes their language is insulting. The police are determined to stop this practice, and Chief Tompkins instructed his officers to watch for tbe disturbers and to arrest any one who speaks to or about girls they do not know.

The latest feminine craze, that for wearing tne hair in a single braid, doubled up once and tied with a piece of ribbon, school girl fashion, bas sense on its Bide in this hot weather, although it is rather harrowing to see when adopted by a timid young mies of thirty or forty summers. It isn't fair for women with really long hair, though, for their braid is so long that it doesn't look nice, and is in the way besides. MRS. H.

I did not return to sees: a reconciliation, but to secure a divorce, anything said to tbe contrary notwithstanding. 1 do not wish for newspaper notoriety, and I think it a disgrace to some newspapers of Oakland that they cannot nil up their papers with something more honorable and instructing than falsely written hp interviews with people whose business should be their own when they do not wish to co rue before the public Mrs. F.VA38.

Dennig Bays the -Laundry Farm, the Ball road, andthe Ala- aueda County Terminal Company. I For a few days past a quiet gentleman in a blue suit, a grey flannel traveling shirt, russet shoes, and gold glasses, has been taking notes in Oakland. He has been out to tbe Laundry Farm and up to George De Golia's office, and to other places of interest in Oakland. He looked at the land aud water, front and right of way land and even surveys through the hill into Contra Costa county. After having done al this the quiet gentleman went back to Mr.

De Golia's office. i Who was the quiet gentleman? He was Rush B. Dennig New York." Who is Rush 8. Dennig. of New i He is a very prominent railroad con-tract3r.

Has he any money i Yes, or he wouldn't be investigating tbe Laundry Farm and its railroad. What did he want at the Laundry I He wanted the Laundry Farm and the Laundry Farm Has he got them? He bas got the Laundry Farm and tbe railroad he will get today. There will be a railroad deal In Oakland today. It may mean a great deal and it may mean nothing. This is the railroad deal, and by the time The TKIBU5Z is being read the deal will hare been made.

George De Golia. who has been nominally the owner of the Alameda County Railroad since it was sold at Sheriff's saiej will this afternoon sell that road to the Alameda County Terminal Company. At the same time a con-troliDg influence in the Alameda County Terminal Company will be transferred to R. S. Dennig of New York.

With the road Mr. Dennig trill take a contioling interest in the various land, water, and rock schemes that the various members of that company have engaged in. I The next question is Does Mr. Dennig represent an overland road, and if he does, -what road is it? That question is bardly answerable, but it may be well to go into a little history. It was about three years ego when Colonel J.

H. Woodard began to look with loosing eyes at tbe Laundry Farm. The colonel; who is a great railroad man, soon organized a railroad company to build a road to tbe Laundry Farm. Then the Alameda and Laundry Farm Railroad Company was; formed, and after several long waits and considerable trouble, operations i were begun on the road. The: operations were very simple, and i consisted, of buying a lot of land in the Laundry Farm, and some rights of way.

The land was cut up snd put on the market, and some of it sold. Then for some reason the Oakland, Alameda and Laundry Farm Railroad became a little incorporated aneel. It was succeeded by tbe Alameda County Railroad Company, who built tbe road to the tunnel and a short distance into the tunnel, and then went under. It helped to wreck the California National Bank and then was sold to De Golia. i This was all that appeared on tbe surface, but there was a great deal done besides.

When the Alameda County Railroad was actually built, everybody said: "It's the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad." For a wonder, the people were not far from wrong. R. W. Snow, the City Assessor, was then a director of the Alameda County Kail-road Company, and Mr. Snow says: "It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that negotiations were pend ing between tbe Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road and our company looking to tbe purchase of that road.

This would probably have been completed be'ore now if it bad not been for the fact that the1 Atchison people suddenly found themselves very seriously embarrassed. At that time tbey could noteven borrow money, and so it fell th lough." But to come back to Mr. Dennig. On Saturday a deed was filed from R. W.

Snow to Mr. Dennig, transferring 104.12 acres ia the Laundry Farm to the latter gentleman. Mr. Snow was this morning asked if he would tell why the land was sole, ana what be knew about it. "Since the other plan fell through, said Mr.

Snow, "I have held that piece of land, and while it might have been to my advantage to continue to hold it. ieit that could not stand in tbe way of a big improvement. Mr. Dennig is a heavy railroad contractor from new York, and be bas been contracting for the last twenty years. He has considerable money of his own, 1 understandnd represented some very moneyed gentle men in the East.

I understand that he has letters from Calvin Brtce. who, 1 believe, is estimated to be worth $22,000,000. 1 This land that I held was tne plot on which the tunnel is and the stone ouarrv." 1 "Had the Alameda County Railroad Company anv water front?" 1 -At tbe time the negotiations were tn progress with the Atchison road we had tbe water front along the south side of Alameda bonded, and that ia water front that can be obtained." "Couldn't thev have an outlet on tbe tidal canal or along the East Oakland basin?" "Very easily, for the right of way could be obtained without tronble."

SHE DOES NOT CARE. Martha Yu Arman's Strange Statement to the Court. 'Good By, Fapa," Says Baby Van Ar-man, ae She la About to Be Sepa-rated From Her Father. it? When John R. Van Annan entered Judge Greene's department of tbe Superior Court this morning he failed to say "good morning" to his pretty wite Martha, who Was seated in the lobby with her 8 year old daughter.

She, in turn, ignored her hushand. The little girl looked suspiciously at her father and seemed to fear, his presence. Mr. Van Arman was before Judge Greene in order to secure a divorce from his wife on a statutory ground which is seldom resorted to in cases wherein parties sue for a divorce. The husband told his story to the court, but hi? evidence alone was not sufficient.

Then the little girl was called upon to be sworn. "Oh no." remarked Mrs. Van Arman, as she pressed the little one to her breast. "Madam," remarked his Honor, "you will please take your arm away from the child and change your seat so that we can hear her testimony." The little girl then told what she knew about tbe troubles between Van Arman and his wife, but Judge Greene was still of the1' oninion that the evidence was insufficient upon which to grant a divorce. Then Mrs.

I Van Arman was called upon to testify. "You heard the testimony of your huband," remarked the court. "Yes. sir." i "Is it "It is all true," said tbe lady, as a slight b(ush passed over ber pretty face. Mrs.

Van Arman stated that during the past two years be had cooked her husband's meals, and they had eaten at the same table. It was not until a month ago that they bad separated. judge Greene stated that he would require- more evidence, and so the case was continued until tomorrow morning in order that tbe family nurse might be exam ined on the subject as to whether Mrs. Van Arman bad neglected to perform the duties of a wife. The couple and their attorneys held a consultation in the corridor and it was decided to hunt up the nurse and have her in court tomorrow morning.

Mr. Van Arman took his little girl by the hand and attempted to caress her, but the child withdrew from his embrace and ran to her mothers "Good by, papa." said tbe child as tbe father left tbe Courthouse. The parties have evidently had an understanding, and as Mrs. Van Arman failed to put in an answer to the complaint it would appear that she is quite willing to secure a separation from her husband.

JXew Tort Metropolis. Dininz one eveninar with WQkie Collins, he spoke of the difficulty of imagining a place, or character which had not its original in real life. After he bad described the house in "Armadale" a gentleman called upon him and upbraided him for putting his residence! into print. Tbe description was exact, althouzh Wilkie Collins had never seen the place. He invented a man who was so careful about his foodl that he weighed it in little scales at tame.

A gentleman was introduced! to Mr. Collins and said "You had no right, sir, to caricature me. I weigh myfood in little scales, Here theyaoe, sir! I always carry them about with me by advico of my physicians. But is that any reasonwhy I should be held up to ridicule, bitt" vain air. uoi-lins protested that he had never before heard of such a habit.

Comes' From Petaluma Mostly, Washington Prut. Lovers of Kocraefort cheese will not be pleased to hear that they often do not get the real article, thanks to the quantity of illegal imitations.
