THE LATE BOND DECISION.
Fund Commissioner Beatty Explains Its
Full Significance

Fund Commissioner Beatty Explains Its
Full Significance.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Your synopsis of
the opinion of the Supreme Court in the
case of Davis vs.. the City of Sacramento
was a very excellent exposition of the
points settled, and much better than we
generally get ia newspaper report. In
deed, it is often the case that professional
reporters do not get so clear perception of
a case as you have shown. Yet your state
ment, and the opinion itself, do not give SO
clear view as to how far the decision af-
fects the question of interest on bonds af-
ter maturity, as it presents itselfto one who
is familiar with all steps taken in these
bond suits.
Upon that point am frequently ques-
TONED. and being perfectly familiar with
the question, l will make a stateme
through your paper, which hope will sat
isfy all Except the select few who can
never be satisfied with any decision that
does not destroy the Fund Commissionl
that there is no danger of our ever having
to pay interest on the bonds after they fall
due.
When the case of Davis VS.. Porter was
first before the Court the payment of the
coupons was resisted on these grounds !:
First, the city did not own the coupons
because they we're illegally issued, and sec

privileges of the town. Food was scarce

the place TO be wasted; but as far as any,
one suffering for the want of food goes,
do not know of a single case. do not be-
lieve the company could have done better
than it mas done.
If any of the passengers were short of
funds il made no difference, for they were
boarded at the expense of the company in
Reno, and got almost as good as those who
had plenty of money to psy for better. At
the Arcade Hotel, in Reno, great many
of the passengers boarded. They were not
confined to the train at all. They came
and went at their pleasure. The price for
meals at the Arcade was so cents, and do
not consider that it was extortionate To
passengers that made their wants known,
an agent of the railroad company disbnrsed
meal tickets. The stories of neglect are
highly colored. l feel personally inter-
ested in this matter. because not only did
the company do all in its power for the
passengers, but il assisted the railway mail
crews materially, transferring cur cars as
often as possible, so we could dispatch our
business with the prOmptness that the sur
roundings would permit. have heard of
the many stories that have been published
bat I must deny that the carelessness at
tributed TO the company existed at any
time during the fight with the snow. No
one can picture the sights to be found
among the drifts. Il looked ike noun
tain between Bonner and Cisco.
The Cyclone, as might be expected, had
some trouble at first getting through, be-
cause she was an entirely new piece of
work and The machinery was new. But
when il did get to working it made the
snow hy. Another thing to show how the
acted in the matter, there was
never an attempt inside to clear the track
that all the power that could be got was
not set to work. 1t is only just to say that
the company, so far as I know, and l was
around good deal, did all that any person
could expect. There was some erumhling,
of course, from those who were getting tired
of remaining there and they desired to go
the other way and come TO this city by the
Southern route. The company complied
with the request of the persons, and l am
satisfied thar it did all it could, and what
more could be expected, when the condi-
tons surrounding the blockade are taken
into consideration"

James Butler bad been shoveling snow
for three long weeks in the vicinity of
Shady Run, and came to town yesterday
and was paid off. He had close upon 800,
and had the good sense to first buy himself
suit of clothes. Then he went to find
friend with whom he used to room in the
Hotel Scroggs, at Tenth and K streets, but
fell in with three fellows who occupied an
adjoining room.
Butler was flush and didn't care for ex-
penses. so he put up lively for the
beer, and can after can disappeared
like q bank before the onslaught
of the shovel brigade. Finally Butler
got very drunk, and his three
new-found acquaintance thoughtfullv put
him to bed in his friends room. The lat
ter went there. last night and awoke his
old partner, and when Butler felt for his
money all he could find was a single cart
wheel dollar.
He sought the police last night, declar-
ing that he had upward of $50 when he
got through drinking the beer. He says
he would know the three men who put
him to bed if he could see them.

JUSTICE DAVIS
MADE THE OBJECT OF AN UNPROVOKED
ASSAULT,
Yesterday Afternoon, by Benz. Frazier, Local
TOugh-The Justice Makes vigorous
Defense, and Frazier Goes
to jail.

Justice w. II. Davis seems to nave III
CURED the hearty enmity of some of the
criminal classes of the city.
Not long agoh he was the subject OF an
attack upon his person, while in his
Office in the discharge of his duty, ana
he is frequently threatened and abused
by people brought before him. ,
Yesterday he was again the OBJECT OF
an unprovoked assault, instlgated by
some one as yet unknown, and IL Is not
the fault of the assailant that Mr.. Davis
was not seriously hurt.
About quarter past one O'Clock,
while the Justice was lying on lounge
in his private office, Benz. Frazier, we'll
known about town as character OF the
baser sort, entered the outer office and
passing through into the rear room,
came up to the Justice and made a
threatening emonstration.
'What do you want?" asked the
Squire. who was surprised and non
plussed by the actions of the intruder.
eve got it in for you, that is what l
want" said Frazier, who was under the
influence of liquor.
He made an attempt to catch hold OF
the Justice and strike him, but Davis
got away from the man, and Selling an
iron poker at the fireplace, succeeded
in driving Frazier out of the back Office
into the front room, and thence 10 the
street. On the sidewalk Frazier took adj
vantage of an opportunity afforded by
Davis turning his back, and jumping on
his back, succeeded in throwing him
down on all-fours, bruising one OF the
Justices arms. Frazier struggled TO
get hold of the poker, which Davis re-
tanned, but before any further injuries
were inflicted on either side Hon.
l.. 5. Jordan, who happened to be near,
ran to the rescue, and after Mr.. Jordan
had been accidentally hit with the
poker, Frazier was overpowered. More
help soon arrived, and Frazier was COM
mitted TO jail, on a warrant sworn out
before Justice Phillips, to await action
by the grand jury.
When asked why he made the assault,
Frazier said some one told him 'if he'd
60 up and whip Justice Davis, his fine
would be paid and he promptly I'M
dertook the job.
Justice Davis is at a loss to account
for the assault on other grounds than
that some one instigated Frazier to do
as he did. Frazier has not been before
the Justice for nearly year, he having
been put under bonds last August.

THE VERDICT A SURPRISE.
Jefferson County Farmers Excited Over a
Suit.

The condemnation suit of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie Railroad Company V.
A. d. and David Garden, in which the
Company asked for a right OF way
through the Garden farm, on the river
front of jefferson county, was decided
in Court at Steubenville Wednesday,
the jury returned the very small verdict
of 500 for two and three-fifths acres OF
land. The Messrs. Garden had sixteen
witnesses from the people in the neigh
borhood where the land is located, and
they substantially agreed the property
was worth 5000, per acre, they taking
into consideration that three-quarters OF
an acre of the land has three-year-old
asparagus bed, worth about ST. 900 addi-
tional. The Railroad Company had ex-
pected to pay 81, 500 for the land, and
were consequently as much surprised as
the Messrs. Garden when the jury re-
turned verdict for 500.
The Messrs. Garden will take an APP
peal, and all the farmers in the vicinity
will stand suit, as they claim their
property is worth more than the jury
allowed in this case.

Main Street Bridge.

In deciding TO erect stone bridge at
Main street our citizens certainly made
a wise selection, basing their decision
on the question of economy in the end
A steel bridge would have been cheaper
at first, but the certainty afforded by a
stone bridge was not overlooked. Our
people should follow this principle still
further and adopt tire-proof safes more
generally than has been the case here
tofore. The saving in insurance will
pay for the safes, while the annoyance
and inconvenience that will be saved in
case of fire cannot be estimated. The
Globe Contract Company, of this city,
carries the only stock of safes in this
State.

Mark Twsin.s Latest Book.

Mr.. w. II. Brown has secured the
agency for Mark Twan's latest book, "A
Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" and will canvass the city for it.
The book is keen and powerful satire
on the English nobility and royalty,
and appeals strongly TO all true Ameri-
cans. The volume is illustrated by
about two hundred and fifty drawings,
and is in all respects one of the best
things written by Mark Twain.
