TrfaI ON Appeal Probable.
ESPECIAL TO THE sESTINEL.1
SANTA Rosa, CAL, Oct. 6.-The opinion
Of Judge Jackson Temple in the celebrated
case of Mrs. Ellen M. Cotton vs. Leland
Stanford and other Directors Of the Gen
trail Pacific railroad was filed this morn
ing. Judgment is ordered for the de-
PENDANTS.
~LArER-Judgo Temple filed his opinion
in the case of Cotton vs. Stanford OF oil. at
$50 O'Clock this morning. 1t is in favor
OF the defendants. and is 470 folios in
length. The opinion commences: "This
action is brought to rescind a contrac,
made by the plaintiff as executrix and
general legatee of David D. Cotton with
the individual defendants on August ~,
1879. This was q settlement made by
such defendants acting for various cor
porations, in which Cotton had been q
stockholder and had held various official
positions with the estate of Cotton. 1t
was also an agreement by which such de-
PENDANTS acquired from the plaintiff GER
tain stocks and bonds. 1t is here charged
that this contract was obtained from her
by fraud, both actual and constructive,
through misrepresentation, coneealment,
undue influence and under a mistake of
both law and fact" The Court indicates
that the allegations Of the plaintiff In
reference TO fraud. ETC., were not sustained
by evidence. lin accordance with the
views / nave reached in this case Of the
relations of the parties to each other at
the time of the impeached transaction
and Of the law applicable to that
relation, judgment must be entered
for the defendants, though if the
plaintiff be found correct in regard to the
law of trusts the judgment on the find
ings may probably be entered for her
without further trial in the Appellate
Court. There are still q great many points
in the case on which / have not touched.
The conclusions to which I have come
render it unnecessary to inquire whether
the parties could not be placed in the po-
sition they could have occupied had q COM.
promise not been made, or whether for
other reasons it would not be inequitable
to cancel the compromise agreement.
Much that hag been said, however, has q
bearing upon the question. and I end as
commenced by expressing my satisfaction
in the con yiction that all the questions in
volved, both OF law and fact, can be fully |
considered in the Supreme Court"
SAN Francisco, Oct. George r.. B,
Hayes, OF Mrs. Colton's counsel in the
case, said to-day that undoubtedly there
would be a motion for new trial OF sp-
peal to the Supreme Court.

Marches Back.
A Carson correspondent OF the Sacra-
mento Bee tells OF Nevada's luckiest pros
there resided in Carson a ~prospector
named T. J.. Bradley. When be came
here he had some money and he spent it
lsvishly. He owned q mine near Haw-
thorne, Esmeralda county, and when his
money was gone he went out to do his
annual assessment work. He gave to
Messrs. Knapp Il Laws and John Forbes,
Of Hawthorne, 500 feet OF the 1900 which
constituted the mine, for q " grub stake"
In u short time he uncovered q very rich
ledge. Last Tuesday H. N. Yerrington.
Superintendent Of the Virginia and Truckee
and Carson and Colorado railroads, visited
the mine and gave him $40. 900 for SEQ
feet, and the next day Archie Fsringson,
the principal owner OF the rich and pro-
dnc.ive mines of Garfield, gave him $685.
600 for the remaining 500 feet. Sew
eral experts nave visited the property,
and they all pronounce il the rich
est gold discovery ever made in
Nevada. An old resident OF Esmeralds
county tells me that in a little more
than six years Bradley has sold
mines in that county for various
sum a~ggregsting $95, 900. He il
really one Of the luckiest prospectors il
the world. Ali that he has to do, ap.
parently. when he gets broke is to go on
In the hills and strike a mine that brings
him from 81, 500 TO S35. 900. According
10 my informant, he differs somewhatfron
the general run OF prpspectors. In tina
ne possesses a little bit OF frugality. 1t il
SAID that whenever he sells . mine he
sendsthe bulk Of the money to his mother
IN Ireland, holding ont q thousand or 81
ior a big time with the boys. He paints
everything in sight red until his purse il
empty and then runs in debt for as much
more as he pleases. When he thinks il
ume 70 brace up, he shoulders his pros
peeting tools aud starts out in the mount

The True Heaven ON Earth.

heaven ON earth, it is where just the right
man marries just the right woman, and
there is no way to be happy except with
perfect liberty. l hate . man who thinks
. woman should obey him. l had rather
be Il slave than q master. / had rather be
robbed than be q robber. All that / ask
for womankind is simple liberty, and let
the man love the woman as she should be
loved. Az one Of the old sacred books Of
the Hindus says: MAR 10 strength
n is beauty; man 10 courage-woman
is prudence; man 10 strength and woman
is wisdom, and where there is n man
loving one woman, and u woman loving
one man, in that house the very angels
love to come and sit and sing" believe,
then, In perfect freedom; l believe in per-
feet justice, and when a man loves q
woman she never grows old to him.
Through the wrinkles Of age and through
the mass Of time he sees the sweet maiden
face that he loved and won And where a
woman really loves q man be does not
grow gray; he does not grow decrepit, he
is not old. but to her he is the same for
ever that won her heart and hand.

great care from the finest and largest
stocks Of goods just opened from the East

our arrangements with one OF the largest
wholesale houses in the world, to con-
stantly secure for us the best OF bargains
and the first selection OF new goods in

ton we will come out ahead. We
have one price, and mark every ar
ticle in plain figures, so that every
man, woman OF child can see for
themselves just what every article sells

crowded constantly, and each buyer has
left with the verdict that they had been
squarely treated, and served good goods al
low prices. By SPECIAL FAVOR we
have been given inducements by O'Connor,

of obtaining goods from their house.
