POOR PICo.
End OF an Important Casc-A new
n-aE.,a an Practice.


Ruling 1n Practice.
For six years the suit OF Pic Pico, the
last Mexican Governor of California
against Ben. Cohn and others has been
in the courts. The action was com
nenced for the reconveyance of valuable
property in this city and in the country
son the ground that the Ex-Governor had
originally conveyed it to the defendants
as security for money borrowed, and also
on the ground that the conveyance was
procured by fraud. The defendants
having obtained judgment in their favor
in the lower court, an appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court, and this appeal
has just been decided by that tribunal.
The opinion settles point in practice
which reverses the rulings heretofore
had. The respondents, in their brief
contended that the statement on appeal
must bs disregarded for the reason that
no notice of intention to move for new
trial is set out therein, or in any way
shown to have been given. The Court
decided that formerly the notice of in
tentio was made part of the record on
appeal by express statutory provision ;
but under the present code there is no
provision providing that any such notice
shall ka brought up to the Supreme
Court by including it in the statement or
in any other manner. The Court then
cites a number of cases in which the
contrary ruling was maintained, and
then lays down the rule of practice
under the code as it now stands by over
ruling the conclusions upon this point OF
practice in the above eases. Hence the
exception of the respondents in the case
decided /, that the statement of record
from the Court below should embrace
the notice of intention of motion for a
n,w trial, is not we'll taken.
The Court then proceeds to the merits
of the case, and says: "But one question
is presented by the briefs, viz, whethc
certain findings of the Court are su
tanned by the evidence. Counsel for ap-
pellants contend, with great esrnestness,
that there is no evidence against them
as to some of these findings and then
proceed, in elaborate and able briefs to
prove that the evidence againt them is
unworthy of belief. We have carefully
examined the transcript and find that all
the findings attacked are supported by
some evidence. Counsel simply ask us
to enter upon an investigation of the
evidence to determine the credibility and
weight to be given to the testimony of the
witnesses sud especially that of the de-
fendant. Cohn. This we csunot do under
the well.established rule that where there
is substantial conflict in the evidence,
as there is here, this Court will not dis
turb the decision of the Court below"
The Court then affirms the judgment
and order appealed from.

The inaugural Rail- and Roman
Punch.


EDITORS HERALD-It is very amusing
to notice the substitution of Roman
punch for wine at the inaugural ball, es-
pecially since the wine was dispensed
with at the urgent request of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union. Of
course the ladies did not offer to let the
management substitute Roman punch,
but, when they find out its ingredients,
they will not feel SO fattered at their
victory at having the wine ban.
ished to private room, where
it was visited by twes and fours.
The duplicity practiced on the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
is, however, characteristic of the G. o. p.
in its dealing with the temperance ques-
ton. The following is the recipe for
making Roman punch: "One quart
lemon ice, add whites of three eggs, well
beaten with rum and brandy, till the ice
liquifes, in the proportion of three parts
of rum to one of brandy; water to taste;
add teacupfull OF strong green tea in
fusion strained also half pint cham
pagne." 1t is reported that 300 gallons,
(936 barrels, We're ordered for the ball,
a pretty large supply for the inaugura-
tion of temperance President. How
much longer can this kind of "good lord
and good devil" policy be carried on and
the g. o. p. still retain the preacher and
the prohibition role? Very respectfully,

THE LORDS AGENT.
He Weeps for the Real Estate
Agents.

He weeps for the Real Estate
Agents.
A citizen of Los Angeles named G. B.
Mcdowell was brought to the county jail
yesterday to be examined for insanity.
He has been ailing for five or six years,
but of late he has grown worse and is
now considered dangerous. About two
years ago he gave $4,000 of his property
to a charitable institution to the unfor-
tunate detriment of his wife and chill
dren.
Mr.. McDowell's illusion is that he is
the appointed agent OF the Lord in this
locality. 1t is said that he has been
attending the Moody meetings very reg
ularly, and that the religious element in
his mama is new thing. He Fays that
the Lord hes given him Los Angeles
county as his special territory. His par
ticular mission, he says, is to bring back
the real estate agents to grace who have
strayed further from the paths of recti-
tude than any other class of citizens. He
spends most of his time weeping for the
sins of those who are engaged in this
line of business. He will be taken be
fore the Commission tomorrow.

CALCULATING COST.

Interesting Practical Suggestions al
to street Paving--.The Advantage
as q Pavement Improvement.
In considering the subject of stree
pavements, as to the determination o.
relative economies, Capt. D. Torrey. il
the Engineering Nesos of Feb. 90, 1889
points out, with commendable fairness
the following basis of calculation upor
which to determine the annual cost t.
property holders of any pavement:
First-The annual interest on first cost
the first cost of the pavement being con.
sidered as permanent investment
Second-Average annual expense fol
maintenance aud renewal of pavement the
proper manner of ascertaining the ex
pense being to divide the gross expendi
ture for repairs and renewals which are
made, from time when the pavement il
new and perfect until such time when
by any treatment, it is again made il
equally good condition, by the number o.
years in that period. the pavements com
pared having been, of course, maintained
in equally good condition.
Third-The annual cost for sprinkline
and cleaning.
Fourth-The annual cost of service anG
use. which sis made up by combining sew
eral items of cost incidental to the use OF
streets for traffic" For instance, such a.
the limitations of the speed of movement
as in case when bad pavement cause!
slow driving and the consequent loss o.
time; or cases when the condition of {
pavement limits the weight of the loac
which team can haul and so compel.
the making of more trips or the use Of
more teams. or cases when it causes
greater wear and tear of vehicles, OF
equipage and horses.
Fifth-Annual cost of conseauentis
damages. including among others. dam.
ages arising from the use of defective OF
unsuitable pavements, by reason of the
noise produced by its roughness, the diff.
ficulties which prevent its being kept free
from dust and mud, one or the other be.
ing almost a necessity on all kinds Of
block pavement, and also the damages
arising from neglected sanitary condition
