ACCORDING 40 THE CODE.
Two Californians Fight With Ra-
piers for a Girl.

PEMoNA, Cal, Dec. ga duel was
fought near this city Tuesday evening
in strict accordance with the code. The
affair was kept secret, but nOtwith-
standing the care exercised to keep it
from the public, the facts came out.
Since October last two prominent young
men of Pemona-HarTy Lucas, formerly
of Louisiana, and Herbert Priestly. both
aged nineteen-have been rivals for the
hand of a young lady of excellent fam
fly. They have had frequent quarrels,
and came to blows. Finally Lucas chal-
lenged Priestly to fight with Spanish
rapiers. The challenge was accepted,
and the two men met in the ball grounds.
Lucas. who is both why and quick and
a practiced fencer, was quickly seen to
be the better of the two. The arrange
mentS were for three-minute bouts. At
the END of the second bout, when
PTiestly had been cut in the breast and
head and twice in the shoulder, the sec
ondS became alarmed and stopped the
fight. Priestly'S wounds were dressed,
and he was taken away from town.
Lucas has also disappeared. The sec
Onds are here and known, but no arrests
have been made. The young men are
of good families, and the story of the
fight has caused mucn excitement.

too drunk to realize the nature of his
acts.
The kirmess was fully inaugurated
last evening at Music hall, which, with
its gayly decorated booths, represent

key VS.. The Travellers Accident Insur-
ance company. Fhe jury found for the
plaintiff III the sum of S. 995, the entire
amount asked. The company will proba-

accident policy for S., 1000. The plaintiffs

return to the hall In an hour. A few
hours after his wife became alarmed,

The REALM OF Music.

Concerts Headed Ivy Iiberan ana
Pottgeiser, Respectively, Con-
tended Yesterday.
The audience which gathered last
evening to listen to the Liberati con-
cert at the Peoples church was much
larger one than the previous evening,
and, if possible. more enthusiastic. Inc
programme opened with the 'Mareh
IIberati." which, performed by the
full band, is one of the grandeSt mill
tarv pieces eXtant. and the effect on the
house was magnetic. Round after round
of applause followed each successive
number on the card, while Llberati
himself was compelled to respond again
and again to encOreS following his cor
net solos. Nine. Romani. who at
her first appearance here Sprang
at once into popular favor, sustained
her reputation last evening III so
pranO solo, being applauded to the
echo. Her voice is SWeety SyInpa-
thetic and clear toned, a voice when
appeals 10 the hearts as we'll as the ears
of her listeners. The rendltlon OF Tue
Wagner overture 'RienZi,' was a mag
ni6eent one. and on par with it was
the performance of the MendelSSOhn
overture Alfalfa The entree concert
was of a high degree of merit, and
that the audience was appreciative OF
the fact was placed beyond doubt by
the enthusiasm displayt d. This after
noon a matinee performance Will be
given, and this evening the closing per-
Torrance will occur. An entirely ar
ferent programme will be given at eacn
performance. including solo work by
SgrS. Liberati and Tyreu.
The concert recital given last evening
at Turner hall by Prof. Charles Is. Pott-
geiSser and a brilliant array of local tai
ent, was listened to by an audience
which filled the house 10 the doors. Inc
opening number of the programme was
the Hensell concerto in r minor by
Prof. PottgiesSer with second piano ac-
commandment by Prof. Frank Wood.
The performance was grand one and
elected great applause. The singing OF
Verdi's "Ernani InyiOlami," by Mrs.
Nettie Fuller Snyder, calls for further
Endorsement of the praises she has re-
ceiyed on numerous occasions. Frank
Lee recited WILDLY Breen' in manner
which won him considerable applause,
and Prof Aug Tilleman in cOTnet solo
work gained his share of laurelS.
AIr. McFeeters sang a bass solo, The
Wolf" and sang it so well as 10 neceSsl-
tate considerable subsequent bowling to
the house in response to the Jurors he
was receiving therefrOm. McFeeters
possesses a bass voice which should
make him heard in vocal circles to
greater extent than has hitherto been
the case. a. NJ. DohertY's ''Snutf
Son." sung in his usual inimitable man
ner. was on par with the remainder OF
the programme, which included many
quartette selections, ae well as long
list of classic selections in piano music
by members of the company. MesSrS.
Donanue, CongdOn. Nilsson and Gehan
in ouartette selections were warmly re-
eeived. and deserved the applause given
them.

proving the West side.
The Citizens Union of the West Side
met last night at the corner of Dakota
avenue and Isabel street. William A.
Somers presided and E. r. Bryant acted
as secretary. An executive committee,
consisting of Peter Daily, c. B. Stanley,
George 3. Evins. z. d. Winchel and w.
Il. Burns. was chosen, to whom was
referred the business of seeking capital
TO invest in canning factory or such
other enterprise as would pro-
mote the industrial status of the
Sixth ward, and furnish employment TO
the largest possible number of working
men. The business men of that portion
of the city are live, energetic persons,
and are working with a will for the OBJ
jects of the organization. which con-
templates the material prosperity of the
people. The best use af the money APP
prOpriated by the legislature for i'm
prOvement of the Mississippi leyee is
nnder discussion by the union, and the
waste ground is intended to be. built
upon and used as coal and wood yards.
The next meeting will be the first Fri

Augusta, Name, apr. /, 1889.
Hon. Edwin G.. Burleigh, Governor.
Sir-Your communication of date
March 30, 1888, asking the opinion of the
Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court,
whether, in their opinion, upon the state
ment in your communication the act of
the legislature of Maine, approved March
18th, A. ID. 1883, being Chapter 30S of
the Public Laws of 1889, is constitution
al and whether bonds issued under that
act would be valid, was duly received and
has been fully considered.
In answer to your inquiry, we respect
fully reply, that it is the opinion of all
the Justices that the Act referred to is
constitutional, and that the bonds issued
in pursuance of said act would be valid
Article ., Section Il of the constitu-
ton, declares that the legislature shall
not create any debt exceeding limited
amount named, except to suppress in
surrection, repel invasion, or for purpo
SEES of war" The issue of bonds which
by the act of 1859, is to be dated as of
June LIST, 1889, will vastly exceed the
constitutional limit, should it be regarded
as a new debt. In our opinion, 1t cannot,
in constitutional sense, be so regarded.
1t will rather he the old debt in a new
form. The issue of bonds soon to ma
ture was originally provided "for purpo-
ses of war, and represents war debt of
the State. But the bonds to be issued
will just as much represent the war debt
as do the bonds to be retired. 1t will be,
as the act denominates it, a renewal anu
extension of the bonded Indebtedness of
the State.
A new credit or borrowing is substitu-
ted for the old upon favorable terms to
the State.
If the new bonds be exchanged for the
old, bond for bond, it would be a renewal
and extension of the debt, and if the new
bonds are sold to obtain means with
which to liquidate the old, it will in all
essential respects amount to the same
thing.
The same result will be reached as far
as the State is concerned. The old bonds
were evidence of the war debt, The new
bonds will become such evidence by sub
stitution. The holders of the old bonds
would in equity, be considered as receiv-
ing payment of their debt from the pur-

chasers of the new bonds, when the mon
ey received from the new is applied to
take up the old bonds, and the act pro-
vides that the receipts of sale shall be so
applied. and judicial remedy may be had,
If need be, to prevent misapplicaton.
Whether the debt of the State be repre-
sented by the one set of bonds, or the
other, it is one and the same debt SO far
as the constitutional provision affects the
question. The new issue postpones pay
ment of the debt, but d pes not eXtinguish
it. Final payment must come, as the act
intends, from gradual taxation of the
the people and property of the State.
The issue of bonds to bear date of Oc-
tober first, 1859, is to be appropriated for
the payment or renewal of another in
debtedness of the State. which was origi-
nally authorized by section Ii, of article
of the constitution. That section au-
thorzed the State to issue bonds payable
within u years, with six per cent, inter
est, the bonds or their proceeds to be de-
voted towards the reimbursement of the
towns aud cities of the State for the ex-
penditure of moneys for the purposes of
war during the rebellion.
Now that these bonds are nearly due.
we can perceive no constitution. or other
ahinrtlons ia a rsnat.4s ,ssg -
them by new issues. The constitutional
clause provides that the original issue
should be at i per cent. on no longer time
than twenty-one years But it does not
in terms, or by implication limit the
means by which the Indebtedness should
be finally paid. No sinking fund is re-
quired, nor mode of taxation prescribed,
by the constitutional clause, to insure an
extinguishment of the debt before or at
the end of the twenty-one years. The
debt is valid constitutional obligation
of the State, and the legislature is not
prevented from resorting to any practical
methods for keeping the credit of the
State unsullied.
1t follows that the Legislature has the
power to prescribe such means for the
payment or renewal of this branch of the
State Indebtedness, as it deems proper,
without infringing upon other constitu
tional provisions.
