The suit Of Henry Weaver VS.. Matt.
Storms was heard by Superior Judge Van
Fleet and a jury yesterday. Weaver, it
appears, has been in the employ of Storms
for the past fifteen months or more, on the
latter's ranch, as a trainer. According to
the evidence given in the case there was
not very lucid agreement as regards the
salary Weaver was to receive. Stormsl6rst
offered him the position of trainer of a
certain stallion at salary of S25 per
month, with board ard lodging. Weaver
did not want this job so Storms put him to
work as 4 rubber of horses. The other
rubbers received $40 per month. Storms
went East, and was gone some time When
he returned, he informed Weaver and
the Others that he was DESTROYS of set
Ting up with them. Weaver protested at
only being allowed $50 per month. Storms
refused to pay S25, so Weaver brought suit
for the amount he claimed was due-about
Sl6O-in the Justices Court. The result of
this hearing was unsatisfactory to Weaver,
so he took the case to the Superior Court.
The jury brought in verdict last even
ing fer the full amount for plaintiff

ADJUSTMENTS.

Another full house was drawn by the
Lyceum Company ct the Metropolitan
Theater last evening, the play being the
comedy Sweet Lavender 1t by no
means rises TO the level of the drama The
Wife, but 1t is clever and very satisfac-
tory play, and was admirably given. The
burden of the piece devolved upon Mr.. LIE
Moyne, whose Dick Phenyl was one of
the most adroit and symmetrical bits of
character sketching that has been seen upon
the stage here. Miss Cayvan and Mr..
Kelley were presented in roles sharply in
contrast to those assumed in The
Wife" They did not afford them
opportunity for work of any brill
fancy but demonstrated their YER
sumo comedy parts. Miss Dillon's Sweet
Lavender I" scarcely does that little wo-
mans ability justice, for it is, on the whole
rather weak and pulseless part.
Friday and Saturday nights, at the
Clunie Opera House, Thatcher, Primrose
q Vests Minstrels will appear. The COM
pany is credited with being one of excep-
ton excellence. 1t is very large troupe
and gives an exceeding varied performance.
The costumery is very rich, and in the
first part is made radical innovation upon
minstrelsy of the usual order, the partici-
pants being costumed in the Court apparel
of some centuries ago. Shakespearian sug-
gestion as to costume prevails, and the
effect is. spoken OF as at once novel and
spectacular. The end men are Touch
stones" the interlocutor is King John"
and the others, respectively, "Othel-
To-" Romeo" Henry WILL" Hot
spur" "Timop," "Mercutio." and so
on. The recent engagement of the troupe
at the New California Theater, San Fran
cisco, was one of the most successful ever
played in that city. The press of that place
are unanimous in pronouncing the troupe
as unsteady, dramatically and otherwise
far above the average. 1t embraces such
old favorites as Dixon, Meyers, Frillman
and Whitmark, the comedians being
Thatcher, Primrose, Pagan and others.
The Examiner says the company embraces
some of the best minstrel talent of the day;
the C:U commends especially the athletes
and gymnasts of the company the Bulletin
says the entertainment is altogether too
good to be classed as a minstrel troupe.

George w. Fsylor, who was Sergeant.at-
Arms of the Senate at the last session of
the Legislature is in trouble at San Fran
cisco. Mrs. Elizabeth Glynn, an aged
widow lady, has brought suit against him
for money due her for mileage coming to
her as witness at the Yosemite investiga-
ton by the Senate and Assembly
committees. Taylor had the handling
of the money disbursed for witnesses
milesge, but when Mrs. Glynn called
for hers he told her that he had paid it
over to somebody named Crowley, who
held an order from her to pay over the
money. Mrs Glynn denies that she gave
anybody authority 10 collect her money,
and expresses her disbelief in Taylor
story. She says she called upon him re-
peatedly TO find Crowley and get her
money, but failed to do so.

Some Suburban Thoroughfares That Sadly
Need Sprinkling.
Someof the street sprinklers are evidently
having good thing at the expense of the
city, and are taking advantage of night
work. Nineteenth street, south of R,
which was finely graded about two years
ago, has not seen drop of water for long
time, and the Trustees will soon be pre-
scented with a lengthy petition, calling
attention 10 the fact. Twenty-first street is
nearly rs bad.
From the almost unbearably dusty con-
dition of that much-traveled highway. in
the daytime, it looks as if the sprinkler of
that district must have started his team
and load on a runaway, in order to cover
respectable piece of ground and say he
sprinkled It, which would be the truth
although no more dust were laid than one
could cover with a garden sprinkling pot.

ton, and if the Street Commissioner will

The man had either been pushed or had
fallen from the window of No. GIL ] street,
and he had afterward been secreted in that
building
1t appears now, however that the man
was never inside of No Cpl. He fell from

doubt, takeS back there. The landlady OF

New YORK, July 23d.-In the hearing be-
fore the Referee of the kemmler electri-
cal execution case, to-day, Thomas A. Edi-
son was put on the stand as a witness.
He said that If his testimony were to de-
eide the fate of Kemmler, the murderer
would surely meet death in the electrical
chair. The witness had no doubt what
ever of the power of the alternating cur
rent to kill man instantaneously and
painlessly, and he was sure it could be
done without burning. The case of Smith
was spoken of, who, it was said, received a

shock OF 1,500 volts without serious injury.
Edison said that be would pay Smith S100
If he would come over to his laboratory
and successfully Withstand a shock of 100
volts.
On cross examination, the witness said
the resistance of men is very close between
600 and ], 800 ohms. Obtaining the resist
ance of the human body by Wheatstone
bridge is not simply matter of late exper-
lment. The witness measured the resist
ance of the human body by it before the
question of electric execution was brought
up. He considered the bridge an accurate
means of measurement. a man could be
completely carbonized BY an electric cur
rent, but it would take 500 horse power
to do it. He said:
If you took Westinghouse current of
1850 volts and keptit applied to the human
body five or six minutes, it would not be
carbonized but mummitied. This is be-
cause of the water in the body being gradu-
ally absorbed"
