The CoIitornin Wine Crop

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-The Mer-
chant aud Viticulturist estimates that
the wine product of California will not
exceed 10000, 900 gallons this year. This
is reduction of 5000, 900 gallons from
early estimates. The reduction is due
partly to damage by sunburn and mil
dew. The same paper estimates that
the state will produce 100000 gallons
of brandy this year.

The San Francisco "AhG California;
makes a very good illustration of the
right and necessity that officers of the
Federal Government be efficiently pro-

when it says that elf man in the state
of New York, through which the Presi-
dent will pass in short time on his re-
turn to Washington, had threatened the
Presidents life, or declare an intention
to assault him and follow resistance with
murder, and during his journey through
that State, attended by the United
States Marshal for the District of Column
bia, this threatener approach HIM from
behind, while seated at table, and as
sault him, and prepare to repeat the
blow with violence supplied by rising
passion, is the United States Marshal to
content himself with commanding the
peace, and protesting against the imprO-
pTiety of such conduct, or is he to act
upon his knowledge that ais assailant
has threatened the Presidents life.
and shoot him? If he shoot, will the

owing to lack of space. At the last
spring election in that wsrd, it was
generally understood the ward was
not entitled to q Justice this year, but
this was a mistake, and was over
Hooked by all concerned Notwith-
standing this fact some friends of Isaac
Saxton put in their votes for him for
Justice, and were counted. Now Mr..
Saxton is to look after his commission,
and will get it if possible, claiming that
he was legally elected as the successor
to Squire Woodruff. The latter has
been practising as a Justice since the
first of May, but he has had no i'm
portant cases that are likely to lead to
trouble. He has a right to finish all
cases that were commenced previous
to that date.

SUING IRON HALL.
The Supreme Sitting Charged
With Running the Order
tor Personal Gain.

Harry Beckwith, of indianapolis,
Ind, has instituted proceedings
against the Supreme Sitting, Order of
the iron Hall, asking for the appoint
ment of d Receiver and an eXamina-
ton of the books of the Order.
In his complaint Beckwith says
that he became a member OF Local
Branch No. | of the Order on
April 26, 1888, and that he received
for valuable consideration a certif-
cate in accordance with the constitu-
tional laws and bylaws OF the Order
He alleges that he has compiled with
all the requirements Of the Order, and
that when he became sick the Order
paid him about S75, leaving still due
to him $425.
The defendant" the complaint
says is insoivent, and the officers of
thesame have appropriated the money
of the Order to their own use, and are
carrying on the Order for their own
pereonal benefit and behoof, and the
officers of the Order are paying ito
themselves encemous-salaries, and run
ming the expenses Of the Order beyond
their proper linait, and are wasting the
revenues of the Order in unnecessary
expenses and large salaries. The de-
fendant and its officers refuse to pay
the claim of the plaintiff because they
have wasted end appropriated to their
own use the money belonging to the
Order and tie members thereof, in
Guiding the money belonging to this
plaintiff
Supreme Justice Somerby and Su-
!, ,preme Accountant w. F. Lander were
aasked concerning the suit of Beckwith.
They unqUalifedly denied all the
charges. They said that aBeckwith
was sick, and received $75 10 benefits,
after which he was sent to the insane
hospital. At this time it was learned
he had been insane before and had
been Ineligible for membership at
the time he was received. After that
the payment OF further benefits was
refused. All this was between Beck
with and the subordinate lodge of
which he was a. member. The case
has never been appealed to the Su-
preme Lodge, though the plaintiff has
the right Of appear. 1t il had been
appealed it would have received i'm
mediate attention.
For these reasons a Receiver was
asked for, and the Court was requested
to grant an order upon F. D. Somerby,
w. A. Callamere and the other officers
of the Order, requiring them to pro-
duce their books for examination.
