THE UNITED STATES COURT.

Three Important Cases Decided
Against tho Railroad Co.
Judge Ross yesterday handed down a
decision covering three land cases against
the Southern Pacific Company. The
railroad brought suit to ejec; John T.
Tilley, nj. s. Walker and ]. M. Pallman
from lands claimed by the company.
The court decided in favor of all three
settlers, as the cases were exactly SIM
liar. The land in question is part of the
old Atlantic and Pacific grant, to which
the Southern Pacific succeeded The
| Secretary OF the Interior, about 1866, de-
cided that the Southern Pacific Com
pany were the successors of the Atlantic
and Pacific. and ordered that the former
corporation had right to make selec-
tions in the districts where the settlers
lands lie. -Four years later these people
settled on the lands and the Secretary of
the Interior, after the filings had been
refused in the Los Angeles Office, ruled
that it was error to so refuse and ordered
the claims Of these parties to issue,
which was done, and in due time patents
were issued. The company sued,
claiming that the. order of the
previous Secretary allowing them to
select the lands took precedence of the
later order allowing the settlers to file on
them. The court holds that the com.
pany not having made the selection at
the time these settlers came on, the
Secretary of the Interior had the right to
infer the company didsnot intend to make
a selection of these lands, and that
therefore the settlers had right to them.
The decision is on new points not here
tofore raised in this State and is very
important. The case was tried for the
company by Hon. Joseph Redding, and
the settlers were represented by Joseph
FL. Call, Esq, OF this city, who won his
caee.
E. A. Meserve, Esq, was admitted tc
practice before the United States courts

NOT UP TO kAVANAGH.
Harry Truax and the st. Johns
Male Choir Concert-An Artistic

Harry Truax and the st. Johns
Male Choir Concert-An Artistic
Success.
The initial concert of the season given
last evening by the st. Johns church
male choir at the Peoples church drew
a very large audience, who were pre-
pared to hear in Master Harry Truax,
boy soprano. q successor to the famous
kavan lgh. The lad has voice of re-
markable range, but, Judging from his
efforts last evening, it is patent that his
vocal gifts have been oyerestimated. A
comparison is naturally invited
between TruaX and Kavanagh,
but while the latter possessed
a pure soprano, voice, powerful and
sympathetic, TruaX has very boyish
style of execution, and lacks tone.
Moreover, last evening his voice sounded
very heady, and it will be charitable to
assume that the sudden cold weather
was the cause of his not coming up to
the expectations of his audience. In
Loves Golden Dream" by Lennox,
and ''Old Madrid" by Trotere, he gave
evidence of the careful training he had
received, and was loudly applauded by
the sympathetic audience, the ma
Jority being ladies. Art, however,
must be judged Oh its own merits,
and those persons in whose care the
Young singer is placed will aid him in
his career if they refrain from an-
nounciag him as the successor of Kay-
anagh, thereby placing him in a posi-
ton perilouS to himself and unfair 10
the public. The day is past when any
child who can sing fairly Well or recte
correctly can be placed before the pub
lie as phenomenal.
The programme presented at the con-
cert was most artistic in its conception
and rendering. In the first part the
magnificent choir of forty voices. under
the able direction of Fletcher A. Wheel
er. sang i'll most finished style "a Sal
lor'S Song" by Hatton, and "a Frank
!yn'S DOgge." by Mackenzie, being COM
PEELED to repeat the quaint old English
legend written by Ingodsby. J.F. Merrill
rendered in exquisite style This Is My
Dream" by Sheppera. and was COM
PEELED by his delighted audience to re-
Spond with an encore. G, L. Reynolds.
of st. James church, Chicago, once
again demonstrated his skill as an Or
ganist and his mastery of the king of
instruments by his grand rendering of
LA Fantastic Triomphale," by Dubois,
and 1.-The Pilgrim Chorus" from Wag-
ner's ''Lohengrin."
The Jackdaw of Rheims an ora
torio. formed the second part of the
programme. 1t was most successful.
and reflected the greatest credit upon
all who took part. The arias for So
prano were sung by Master TruaX those
for contralto by Master Bertram Edey,
the tenor being j. F. Merrill. and BASES
a. S. Willoughby and f. I'll. Garland.
The full choir rendered the various
choruses, accompanied by Mr.. Rey-
nolds OH the organ, while Mr.. Wheeler
conducted in his effective manner.

She Eanders About the City in an
AimieSs Manner.
Eva Peterson, twelve-year-o girl,
who has two or three times before been
taken charge of by the police for wan
dering about the city without an ap-
parent home, was yesterday again taken
in charge by the police. Her fathers
name is John Peterson, and he lives in
New London. An uncle named Ed
ward Peterson is said sto be a contractor
living on Pane avenue. She was turned
over to Relief Agent AZ. l.. Hutchins,
who recognized her as the same girl who
was taken care of one night some months
ago by the family of a druggist at the
corner of Case and Miller streets, and
who found her sleeping under their
porch. She was subsequently taken care
of by the police, when she told pitiful
story about being discharged by family
in st. Paul. 1t afterwards turned out
that she had stolen about $40 worth of
jewelry from that family and had left of
her own accord. Mr.. Hutchihs saws
that she is unworthy of belief, and on
each occasion referred to has told in
credible stories. He wanted to send
her to a reform school before, but she
was taken i'll charge by some friend,
and thinks that such should be done
now.
