The Chairman said that it was an assured fact that a stove factory would be established in this city. Stock to the amount of $60,000 was taken here now." Mr. Green, a gentleman from Arkansas, who is engsged in the cotton manufacturing business in Little Rock, said that he bad been inquiring into the conditions of manufacturing on this coast. He had found that labor cost somewhat more here than in Kansas; board and lodging cost about the same, but the climate was far better here. The Chairman said tnat the sale and control of the Water Front property had been placed in the hands of Mr.

Carpentier. He understood that this would not make any change in the rates asked for land in that location. A SAIL FACTORY PROPOSITION. The following proposition was received from the Pacific Iron and Nail Factory Company At a meeting of the Pacific Iron ami Nail Company, held at their office, the Secretary was instructed to make the following definite proposition to the citizens jf Oakland: If the people of Oakland will cause suitable deeds to be made to us of the lots of land pointed out by Messrs. Eichbtum and Blow to our Committee on Location, securing right-of-: way across the railroad track, we will immediately pr-ceed to build our factories ion the same, their acceptance of.

this pro)osition to be returned to the Pacific Iron and Nail Company daring the coming week. We beg to add that the estimated cost of the factory, including tools and machinery, will not be less than $100,000. The nmber of employees will not be less than 125, all of whom will be white, for no Chioamen will be employed under any circumstances. It is confidently e-pected that the Company will be enabled to enlarge its business that the number of employees will soon be greatly increased. As the necessity is 'for skilled labor, the operatives will be mostly new-comers from the States, and very largely married men, who will bring their families with them.

On motion of Mr. Martin, the proposition was referred to a Committee, consisting of Messrs. Moody, Efchbaum and Burnham. The lots in question are on the water front on First street, between Fil-. bert and Myrtle.

The Committee then adjourned. A QUEER STORY. The Indateenaents Which Mr. Jkn Potter Says Constable De Paryi Offered Hint to Serve oa'a Jary. The case of Prosper Godchaux, the proprietor of the Estudillo House at San dismissed to day by Justice Church, after the impanelling of the jury on the ground that the defendant's place of business is a hotel, and that a bar is a proper adjunct of a hotel, which, under the law exempting hotels, he is at liberty to keep open on Sunday.

It was noticed during the examination ot the jury, that the District Attorney ques-' tioned them closely as to what the i Constable had sid to 'them when delivering i summonses to serve on the jury, but nothing special was elicited. The Constable who summoned the jury was Victor de Parys. In- order to ascertain the meaning and drift of the question, a Tribune reporter waited upon the District Attorney and inquired, was the Constable suspected of tampering with the jury? District Attorney Gibson said that Mr. John Potter, citizen well known in this city, had waited upon his deputy (yesterday, and told him that De Parys had said to him (Potter) when serving the summons. "If you will find a verdict for the defendant there is $5 in it for you." Mr.

Potter is a man of considerable property, and it is quite possible that De Parvs may have said what he did in a joke. The District Attorney is engaged in investigating the affair. a a father Gleeaan Use Olftaren.ee mt Opiates with Mr. Allmm A Salt far Patty Lareaay miuniM Tn tha laat issue of the Weekly TidcUe r.hant aoDeered a strong editorial on the subject of the late assassination in Ireland, in which the editor used some decided and forcible Saxon. This aroused the indigna tion of Father Gleeson, who went to the Yidettt office with a marked copy of the issue and asked Mr.

Allum, the editor and proprietor, whether those (pointing to the words of the editorial in question) were the sentiments of the paper. Mr. Allum replied that they were. Father Gleeson then intimated, in decided terms, that be did not wish to have anything more to do with such a sheet, and would stop his paper. Subsequently, Father Gleeson stepped to the case where a compositor was setting up a piece of work, took the copy out of the printer's hand and carried it out or tne omce, enner saying, or ai, ihhv mu- mating tnat he oua not uo tne wora uoue there.

Mr. Allum started from the back room, where he was working at his engine, for the purpose of regaining the copy but the Father had by this time gotten out of the office. Mr. Allum states that the copy was that of a piece of job work, which had been ordered by uerson other than Father Gleeson, and that he had no right, claim or title to it, nd is therefore liable to the charge ef petty larceny. The job work was a pro gramme for an entertainment to De given at the close of the term by the pupils of the Convent of Our Lady of Liourdes About two-thirds of the composition had been completed and the printer was at work the rest when he was deprived of his copy.

Mr. Allum states that it is his in tention this afternoon to make complaint against the Father for petty larceny and take the case into the Courts. He will also sue him for his subscription to the pape A Tribune reporter called 1 ather Gleeson this afternoon, and that gentle man stated that the article in the VidMc aad made him verv indignant He asked Vlr. Allum if those were his sentiments, md Allura replied that they were. then told Allum that they were dis graceful and uncalled for, and far more bitter than he had read in any oaper, whatever might have been its sentiments or hatred of the people of whom the Vidette had spoken.

He (Glee son) then stopped his paper. He subsequently sent tor the manuscript of the Convent programme, but Allum refused to deliver it. He sent a second time, and it was aain refused. Yesterday afternoon he went to the Vidette office himself. and took the manuscript away, saying as le did so, "This endsall our relations, Mr.

Allum." Allum replied, "All right;" and this, according to Father Glee-son's statement, was all that occurred. In reply to a question by the reporter, Father Glesson said that the work had een ordered by the Convent and not by him. When told of Allum's alleged inten tions, Father Gleeson said, "Jf he attacks ne, I shall reply, and I do not thiuk I shall get the worst of it. I don't think he will attack me." He says Allum will be paid full for the job work on the pro gramme, and one year a suDscription. A SNAKE IN A MAN'S STOMACH.

Gentleman In Alameda Has a Snake Removed from his Stomach Three Feet Long Particulars of the Case. Mr. Alfred Wright, a mining expert, who resides tin Eagle avenue, between Park and Everett streets, Alameda, and who has, of late, been giving hi atten tion to the raising of fruit trees, lias been singularly ill fer two years past. He was troubled with strange movements his stomach, and afflicted, with an inordinate appetite. He tried various physicians without obtaining relief, most them pronouncing his malady dyspepsia.

He finally went to treating himself. Re cently he has had fears in leference t- some living tnmg wnnin mm, ana no-stained as far as possible from food. He then took some herbs. which effectually killed whatever it was. A day or two since he was relieved of a brown snake three or four feet long.

A portion of the skin by acnial measurement, was two feet in length and two inches in width. His impression is that he swallowed it while drinking water from a stream in the mountains. This is one of the most remarkable cases on record. Mr. Wright is doing well The (Quarantined Ship.

At one o'clock this afternoon Qurantine Officer Dr. Lawlor, Health Officer Dr. Meares and Dr. Foye 1 of the Pest House left the wharf on the quarantine steam launch for the quarantined steamer Altonower for the purpose of making a thorough inspection of that vessel. They will examine all persons on board, particularly the Chinese passengers, to determine how many are suffering from -small-pox and will consider such other matters as may be brought to their attention.

Dr. Foye says that several of the Chinese patients taken from the Alto-iwtccr to the Small-Pox Hospital will be discharged on Saturday or Monday next. They have behaved pretty well, but some of them, at times, have been noisy and demonstrative, but were quieted without much.tmuble. Caucasian members of one family were discharged to-day, leaving seventy -four patienti in the hospital. BVveapa Recaptured.

Officer Wright last evening arrested Isaac Burns, one of the clowns at Sherman's circus, as an escaped prisoner. He was sentenced, some time ago, by Judge Yule, to four month's imprisonment for exposure of person, and while acting as a trusty aliout the City Hall took advantage of the privilege to walk off. He was not seen again until officer Wright took him into custody last night. Judge Daniels, at the request of Mr. Sherman, allowed him to pay the balance of the fine due before he escaped, and the jester was allowed to proceed with his jesting as usual.

A Goad Showing for the Berkeley- Schools. At the last meeting of the Berkeley School Board, George D.

Dornin, the retiring Director, gave a abort history of the school system in that town. In 1877, when the town was incorporated, the charter donated one-half the entire revenue to the support of the and all fines for violating ordinances go into the same fund. The existing strong demand for school accommodations showed that all this revenue was needed and would be needed for years to come. I As a university town, will always need first-cfass schools, and they will pay as an investment. Families are being attracted to the town by its ex- cellent school system.

A year ago many children were studying the higher branches in Oakland and San rancisco, who had now returned to Berkeley because they found eiial advantages at home, and a number of non-resident pupils bad been enrolled, whose fees were a material help. There is new in Berkeley a perfected class system, which carries the pupil along from the primary classes to the high school. la Trouble A train. Julia Femald, the ex-wife of Joseph Fernald, the broker, was arrested last night in Francisco, on complaint of Fernald, locked up for drunkenness. The pair met on the Barbary Coast, where Fernald Annoyed her until she finally turned on! him and bit him severely on the hand.

The woman states that for some time Fernald has been following her about and annoying her, until she was unable to stand it any longer. He requested that she be charged with battery, but the arresting knowing something of the facts, let ber otlj with the charge stated. Julia and her husband are well known in Oakland, and the former has occupied a seat in the rdioe Court dock times without number. Fernald was at one time independently and master of a princely income, but circumstances have occurred to render the above item possible, and dashed bis hopes, ambitions and prospects irretrievably to the earth.

Daniel Swett, ot Bay Farm Island, Alameda, reports that ait active, slender, green caterpillar, about an inch in length, is making a great havoc in his cherry orchard. The insect builds its nest between the leaves of the tree, two or more of which it glues together.

In the nest the pest lies in chrysalis state, emerging later into the former, already described. As a caterpillar it roams over the foliage, which it eats voraciously, soon making the branches bare. The young fruit is also attacked soon after it is out of the blossom, and a large per centage is thus consumed before it obtains one-fourth of its growth. What fruit is not attacked in this way is destroyed for the want of foliage to protect it from the sun's rays. Some of Mr.

Swett's trees, he reports, look as if they had been struck by lightning, so effectively has the destructive pest done its work. The caterpillar is so active that when disturbed on the leaf, it will drop quickly to the ground, weaving, however, in its wake, spider-like, a silken thread, by which to return to its former pasturage."

John Daggett, of Siskiyou, is a Demo cratic candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. Ex-Governor Irwin states positively that he is a candidate for Congressman-at- arge.

C. E. Wilcoxson, ex-County Clerk of Sutter, is a candidate for the State Board Kqualizatlen. The country DemocBtic press is already beginning to predict the defeat of Hearst, nominated for Governor. The "shovelry" of the Democracy are crying out against the "chivalry" slate, with Wallace and.

Duke Gwin for Con-gressmen-at-large. Hon. W. T. Lewis, District Attorney of Calaveras, and formerly State Senator, is a candidate for Attorney-General on the Democratic ticket.

Hon. Jerry Schooling, State Senator from Washoe county and ex-State Treasurer, is mentioned as a Democratic candidate for Governor of Nevada. The Democratic County Central Committees of several counties will name the delegates to the State Convention, and no primaries will be called. The machine is working smoothly. Hon.

Charles Kent has been elected President of the Board of Trustees of Nevada City. Mr, Kent is a candidate for Senator, which position he has already held four years, from 1871 to 1875. It is now stated that General Stoneman will step down and out of the contest for the Democratic nomination for Governor, at the dictation of Hearst. As Hearst has formally announced himself a candidate, Stoneman will probably act promptly in this direction. Preparations are being made by the Democrats of San ose to receive the delegates to the State Convention, which meets in that city on the 20th of June, with distinguished hospitality.

Kentucky Blue Gras" will be the favorite brand of "hospitality" dispensed. The Lassen County Delegation to the State Convention, chosen last Monday, is for James A.
