The following verses on the Samoa

Daggett:
The embittered winds like God of wrath,
6uite thy isle with a savage might;
And the palm COOS down in the tempests
pain;
And the mango reels in flight.
Now the thunder ships. with their anchors
cast.
Are white with the driving spray.
Are tossed and rent by the battling blast,
Entombcd by the Eeefribbed bay.
Stalwart and strong hearts cling to every
deck,
With the circling bills In view:
To stay 10 to leap from the storm swept deck,
To dy, to die In the blue.
New a hope forlorn with defiant scream.
IL storming the gates Of death;
Its weapons are nre. It's armor is IL steam,
It's trumpet the engines breath.
The struggle is fierce. but with triumph near,
With a will TO dare and to die,
From the sinking Trenton bursts forth cheer,
As the Briton battles by.
Stout voices that up through the tempest rise!
Brave cheers of the Yankee tarsi
o, blazon their notes In the western skies,
And scroll them among the stars

IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Yolo County Ruling Affecting Agree
ments on Book Sales

Judge G. H. Garoutte, of the Yolo
county Superior Court has filed a notable
decision in the case of j. n. Decker of this
county, against The History Company, a
publishing concern in San Francisco. Ii
seems that during June, 1856, Mr.. Decker,
through an agent, agreed to take set OF
Hubert Howe Bancroft's histories consist
ing of thirty. nine volumes, at S. so each.
He signed the usual agreement in such
cases. After the agreement had been
duly signed and a number of the books
sent to Mr.. Decker, the Bancroft Company
sold out to The History Company, and the
latter corporation took up outstanding
agreements, Decker's being among the rest.
The new company soon demsnded of Mr..
Decker payment for the books, and upon
refusal brought suit. A demurrer was
entered to the complaint by Decker's at
torneys, Baker and Grant, and this objec-
ton was sustained by the Court, he hold
ing that the agreement was not contract,
as it had only been signed by one party
DECKER, and that even if it were a con-
tract it was a personal one and therefore
not transferable from one company to the
other.
The importance of this decision is easily
apparent. There are at the present time
no less than five hundred agreements sim
liar to that of Mr.. Decker's standing out in
California alone, and the ruling from Yolo
county will have more or less influence
upon them all. The case is sure to be ap-
pealed, and if the Supreme Court sustains
the ruling there will be shaking up in
the big History building in San Francisco
heretofore unprecedented.- Woodland Mail.

A Convicted Burglars Intellectual Peti
ton for a New Trial.

A Convicted Burglars Intellectual Peti-
tiOn for New Trial.
George Rogers was sentenced in the
Butte county Superior Court in November,
1888, to twelve years imprisonment in the
Folsom State Prison for burglary. He ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court for a new
trial. and that tribunal yesterday handed
down the following decision in the case
which was filed in the office of Deputy
Supreme Court Clerk Williams:
The People (respondenD VS.. Rogers, ap-
pellant-Information and conviction of
burglary. The appeal is from the judg-
ment, and comes up on the judgment roll.
The first point made by appellant is that
the information failed to state facts constf-
tuung a public offense, and that the de-
murrer thereto should therefore have been
sustained. The alleged defect consists in
the omission of the word "feloniously."
The information charges the offense in the
language of the statute and is sufficient.
People VS.. Lewis, 81 Cal, 336
The charge is that defendant burglari-
ously entered the store occupied by Jones
& Harding with intent to commit larceny,
etc. A point is made that it is not alleged
tnat Jones O hardlDg were partners, or
that they were the owners of the building
or its contents. Under the code definition
of burglary it was not necessary to allege
the partnership, and the ownership of the
building and its contents were sufficiently
designated. People VS.. Henry, II Cal,
445.)
1t is claimed that the Court erred in re-
fusing to give certain instructions asked by
the defendant, which are set out in the
transcript, numbered respectively IL, Ill,
and V. The transcript does not show
whether these instructions were given or
refused. They are in no manner anthem
ticated by the Judge. There is no bill of
exceptions in or by which to make them a
part of the record. They are, therefore, not
a part of the judgment roll people VS..
January, II Cal, 179), and cannot be con-
sidered by this Court. These are the only
points made.

ANOTHER AUSTRALIAN VICTORY.
Mccarthy Whips Kelleher in Twenty
one Rounds.

SAN Francisco, November 20th.-Denny
Kelleher, the well-known Boston middle
weight pugilist, and Billy Mccarthy, cham
pion middleweight of Australia, met in a
finish contest for 81 800 purse at the
rooms of the California Athletic Club this
evening. Five ounce gloves were used.
Mccarthy was slight favorite in betting.
Mccarthy weighed 156 pounds. Kelleher's
weight was 154. Hiram Cook was referee.
Time was called at $50 P NJ.
Round mccarthy seemed to be in
splendid shape, while kelieher looked to
be little too fine. The Australian started
after Kelleher and got in on his body and
face but doing little damage. Both en-
gagged in some harmless swings. The round
ended without advantage to either.
Round 2 The Australian kept working
on Kelleher, and just before the call of
time he got in a nasty upper cut on Kelle-
hers mouth.
Round 3.-McCarthy seemed to have
gauged Kelleher, and again forcing matters,
got in a terrific swiIger on Kelleher's
neck, bringing him to the floor. He arose,
however, before the ten seconds, but was
weak. He about managed to hold his own
until the call of time.
Rounds 4 and 5-McCarthy continued
his chasing without effect, Kelleher being
very cool and seemed to regain his
strength.
Rounds and were repetition of the
others. No apparent damage was done to
either.
Round S.-But few blows were ex-
changed. Both men were waiting for
right-hand swings. Some fine work was
done in this round on both Sides
Round 9.-McCarthy started in savagely
and got on to Kelleher's face badly, with
out return. The round was much in favor
of the Australian.
Round 10.-Kelleher evened matters up
a little, but his blows seemed to lack
steam.
Rounds II to 15 werevery even. Both
men wasted wind. In the 18th Kelleher
had the advantage, catching the Australian
with several hot ones on the mouth and
nose, starting the blood.
Round 16 was uneventful
In the 17tb, Mccarthy got in swing on
Kelleher's neck, staggering him, but the
latter came to quickly. The Australian
tried TO follow his advantage. Kelleher
was all there, however, and the round
closed without further damage.
Rounds Is and 10 KelleheE seemed to
grow tired under the continuous chasing of
the Australian, who kept getting in some
heavy ones on his wind.
In the 10th round Mccarthy again landed
on Kelleher's neck, bringing him to the
floor. The latter was up, however. in a
few seconds, but on the call of time Kelle-
her was very weak.
Round 21-McCarthy followed Kelleher
into his corner. Kelleher led with his
right. but missed. McCarty pivoted and
swung his right catching Kelleher on the
chin and knocking him out.

was put on the stand for examiI alton. The
examination developed that Beggs told the
States Attorney of correspondence between
defendant and Spellman, and in pursuance
OF that Information the States Attorney
caused Spellman to be examined and sub
penaed to produce letters he he'd written to
Beggs. Up to the time of receiving the in
formation the States Attorney did not
know that Beggs had written any letters to
Spellman.
Foster then asked if the testimony of
Beggs before the Grand Jury was not the
first information the States Attorney had
that there had been such correspondence.
Judge Longenecker said this question
was putting words in his mouth, and he
would not answer it; but he finally said
that Beggs said there were letters that
would explain the whole thing, or some
thing to that effect; letters written to SPELL
man and replies to explain the secret COM
mission arrangement. The States Attor-
Dey further admitted, in reply to a ques-
ton, that Beggs wanted him 10 obtain those
letters.
Chief of Police Hubbard was called and
admitted that after Beggs arrest they bad
had conversation regarding the Spellman
correspondence, and that Beggs had di-
rected him where in his (Beggs') desk to
find letters which he wished taken to Judge
Longenecker.
The Court then adjourned until to-mor-
row.

Los ANGELES, November 20th.-Charles
Curtis was shot and instantly killed by his
brother-in-law, Philip Engle. this evening.
They quarreled over book which Engle's
wife was reading. Engle threw the book
out of the window and spoke sharply to his
wife.
Curtis said: "You can talk to my sister
that way" and knocked Engle out of doors
and pummeled him. Engles wife sepa-
rated them.
Curtis then went home, about half a
block distant, and returned few minutes
later. When he came into the house Engle
seized Winchester rifle, and said he would
kill him if he came any further
Curtis then followed him into the dining
