MARTIN WHITES CLAIM.
The Case ON Trial for Third Time
Verdict Against the Plaintiff.

The Case ON Trial for the Third Time
Verdict Against the Plaintiff.
The trial of the case of NJ artin White
vs.. Annis Merrill, John A. Hooper. T.
2. Hooper, E. D. Sawyer and George
d. Hickox, was resumed in San FranA
cisco on the Sd instant before Judge
Spencer of Santa Clara county, sitting
In place of Judge Wilson, who is diss
qualified, and a jury. The case was
tried before Judge Mcguire and ajury
about two years ago, aud = verdict
was rendered in favor of plaintiff for
SAG, $50. The verdict was set aside
and a new trial granted. In August
last the action was again tried before
Judge Hamilton of Alameda county,
sitting in place of Judge Wilson, and
a jury which failed to agree upon a
verdict.
The complaint alleges that on the
26th of April, 1877, the Martin White
Mining Company was in debt to the
extent of $1,000 300; that White, the
promoter of the company, owned S.
625 IF the 100, 900 shares ofthe capital
stock and he was anxious to prevent
the leyying OF an assessment upon the
stock; that the defendants, Merrill,
Hooper. Sawyer and Hickox, agreed
with White that in consideration Of his
delivering to them 10000 shares of
the stock, valued at SO to SIS a share,
and turning v to them the control
of the company affairs by the use of
$4,000 additional shares, they would
I'M tho responsibility and pay off
the company indebtedness, which
included $68, 900 due to White, and
that no assessment should be levied
upon the stock; that they agreed to
take the risk of reimbursing thsm~
selves for their outlay out of the pros
duet of the mine; that after they had
been so reimbursed they would pay
White So "a share for the 10000 shares
and redeliver to him the $4,000 shares.
Ii il charged in the complaint that
the defendants violated their contract
by assessing the stock and by such
means reimbursed themselves, con-
trary to the agreement; that finding
the mine did not meet their sxpecta-
tions as tn dividends, they continued
To levy assessments until the $6S, 900
due White was by this means wiped
out, and that then they refused to
return his stock tn him. The prayer
of the complaint is for $375,000 dam
ages for breach of contract. The case
involves not only n large amount Of
money but many legal questions.
The counsel employed in the case are
II. n. Clement and T. NJ. Osment for
plaintiff and Missick & Maxwell.
Lloyd & Wood and Jarboe & Harrison
for the defendants.
Later-Last Saturday the iurv in the
above case. in which was involved the
sun of $375,000, returned q verdict
in favor of the defendants. Martin
White will no doubt appeal the case.

PERFECT BLISS AT A PICNIC.

oh, come to the picnic with me- love,
Ills there you'll find plenty to eat,
The sandwich, the pie and the pickles
All mixed up so nice and so sweet.
The pepper will season the custard,
The blanc-mange be floating in tea,
And while we discuss these queer viands,
How happy, my own, we will be.
The dainty mosquito will MARBLE
And kiss us with tenderness true,
While the food that we eat from our laps,lo
The trees shall with pine needles strew.
The fields green and tender, my treasure,
VIII bring up the time that is near,
When we two shall keep house together
And picnic forever, my dear!
For I'm sure you know nothing of cooking,
No more than the bird on the wing,
But the honey that lies on your lips, love,
Shall sweeten the bought bread bring.

At the regular election held on the first

feace seYelal districts failed to act
while others have since held elections.
and the question arose as to whether the
elections held later are valid, or if in the
districts where elections were not held
the present incumbents hold over. To
settle these questions Attorney General
Anderson upon being asked has rendered
an opinion that when districts failed 10
elect the present incumbents can hold
over untll the next regular election. and
all otner elections are illegal. He says
that failure to act on the day
prescribed by law leaves the office
nlled, and that an election
cannot be held until there is a vacancy.
The opinion also states that the incum-
bent holds Office until his term expires
and a successor is elected and qualified.

vacancy.
There are number Of districts all over
the State where no elections were held on
the regular day, or where elections have
since been held, and this opinion will be
OF general Importance in consequence.

recommendations Made by the National
Board of Health in its Report.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The report of
the National Board of Health for 1884
was to-day transmitted to Congress. The
rendering of the report was delayed in
the hope that the results of the inVestiga-
tiOns of yellow fever might be included.
but as the work Is not sufficiently com
plete the publication of these results is
necessarily deferred. The report gives
an outline OF the movements of several
epldemIcs of cholera which occurred
IN this country in 1882, 40, '54. '66, '73, and
calls particular attention to the dangers
to which the country is exposed bv
the recent prevalence of the disease i'm
Western Europe. The report says the
importance of cOntin ing the investiga-
tons into matters affecting public health.
and OF providing means for aiding State
and local health authOTitie 5 in preventing
the introduction and spread of pestilent
diseases from distant countries, cannot
be exaggerated. Tie results to be at
tanned are Of incalculable value in pro-
mOtlng the general welfare of the people
In the absence of specific appropriation
all investigations have been suspended.
An appropriation Of $4,000 is asked Tor
TINS work. In addition to this il is earn
estly recommended that an appropriation
OF $5OO,O0O be made to be expended in aid
OF State and local boards of health in pre-
venting the introduction and spread of
contagious diseases. AsIatic cholera, the
report says, Is disease which is not
limited IN Its raYages by latitude or longi-
tude, and In the event OF it's appearance
In the United States will require the
utmost vigilance to prevent its spread.
