Rates,

S. B. Hynes, general freight agent of
the Southern California Railway Com
pany has informed the agent of his
Company that articles for any exhibit OF
State, County, district or local fairs will
be way-billed at regular rates and
charges, to be collected on delivery.
Shipments, except race-horses, will be
returned free to the original point of
shipment under the following rules:
The original paid expense bill must
accompany the certificate OF the Secre-
tary of the Fair Association, stating that
the property was on exhibition and has
not changed ownership. Those who
have paid freight charges to the Fair on
perishable freight, which is worthless
for re-shipment, may have the same re-
funded by the receiving agent, provided
they surrender the original paid expense
bill accompanied by a certificate from
the Secretary of the Fair Association to
the effect that the property was on ex-
hibition, but has become worthless for
re-shipment owing to its perishable
nature.
Race-horses shipped under contract
will pay each way, tariff, or special rate
when provided. Sulkies and harness
may be carried free when loaded with
racing stock.

JUSTICE LOCKWOOD.
Interests himself about some Chinese
Gamblers

Last evening between 6 and o'c lock
Detectives Bosqui, Bowler, Auble and
Wallin raised Chinese tan game on
Los Angeles Street, capturing the dealer,
cashier and four players, but in getting
the gang into the wagon four of them
made their escape. The others were,
however, brought to the police Station,
when they were locked up. In a few
minutes after the Cinnamon were put in
the cell, Ching Wing, the leader of one OF
the factions, put in an appearance, and
wanted to bail them out. This was re-
fused by Chief Glass, and the heather
went out, saying that he would have to
see Justice of the Peace. In a few min
nutes he returned with an order to Capt.
Roberts, signed by Justice Lockwood,
ordering the men released, and stating
that he has fixed the bail. AS Capt.
Roberts is suspended, Chief Glass declin-
ed to honor the order and again the
Chinaman left the Station, returning in
few moments with Lockwood himself,
who personally ordered the men releas-
ed, saying that he had accepted the bail,
5000 each for the cashier and dealer, and
800 for the players.

CALIFORNIA WINES.
Viticultural Commissioner Wetmore' s
Opinion.

Clarence Wetmore, manager for the
Viticultural Commission, was in San
Jose recently, and reporter Of the
MORNING TINES CLEANED some very inter
esting facts and statistics, embracing
review of the grape industry for the
past thirteen years.
81 think" said Mr.. Wetmore, "that
the lowest notch was reached in the price
of grapes last year. The industry is now
on the up grade, and the feeling is that
the price will go yet higher. In 1876 the
growers of Napa, discouraged by the
prospects before them, pulled up their
vines and determined to abandon an
industry from which the returns were
so small. The result of this was that dur
ing the next two years there was turn
for the better, and a revival of good
prices for the grape and wine. The Napa
people took to grape growing again, and
between the years of 1880 and 1884 there
were thousands of acres planted with
the wine. Grapes advanced to from $25
to $35 ton, and new wine went up to
30 and 50 cents a gallon, and the demand
for it was good.
''In 1885 the natural result of the over
pIOuuCGlOH Was ltll dllu prices lell. L TOlu
1856 to 1889 there were very few wines
planted, and in the last named year the
lowest notch was reached, the price
going down to Sc and $S ton. Phyl
oxera spread through Napa and Sono-
ma, and over 20O0 acres of vines were
ruined. The ravages of the pest were
more visibly felt in Southern California,
from 5000 to 10000 acres having been
blighted. This is one cause for the ad-
vance, and another is that number of
the growers have become dried grape
producers. There is money for the pro-
ducer in this last industry. The dried
grape is used to take the place of the
cheap raisin, and fresh grapes dried will
bring from $14 to SIG ton. The feeling
is that the Zinfandel product for wine
use will reach $15 before long. The
growers in the early part of the season
secured good contracts from $40 to $12
ton.

good and is on the increase. The distil

AN INSANE MAN.
A German Laborer Distrusts His Sister
in-Law,

Wenzel Hahlerger, German SO years
of age and unmarried, was arrested at II
O'Clock yesterday by Officer Home on a
charge of insanity. The man has been
employed as laborer at Hyde Park for
some time and came into town yester-
day morning. He is not much of a
drinking man, and was not under the
influence of liquor when he repaired to
the house of his sister-in-law at 724 Laz-
ard street. There he became boisterous
to such an extent as to alarm the lady,
who called in Officer Home to arrest
him. He was conveyed to the county
Jail.
When interviewed by HERALD re-
porter yesterday afternoon the prisoner
appeared quiet and rational enough, al
though laboring under some nervous de-
preston. He will be examined by the
lunacy commissioners tomorrow.
According to his own account he is to
blame for his condition.

AT 2 o'clock Miss Latta was brought
into court. Justice Savage stated that
he had read the opinion of the Supreme
Court ex-parte Wolff, 81 Cal. p. "a,
who was charged with an identical Of
tense. The opinion decided that the
crime at the utmost could only be con-
strued as murder in the second degree
and would not amount to more than
manslaughter. The Supreme Court had
admitted that defendant to bail in the
sum of $4,000. Justice Savage, consider
ing all the circumstances OF this case,
said he would admit the prisoner to bail
in the sum of $500. This bail was
more than her friends cared to give and
she remains in the county Jail.

THE WALDRON DIVORCE.
The Wife's Decree Set Aside by the
Supreme Court.

Some time ago Mrs. Mary II. Wal
dron, wife of David V. Waldron, a well
known politician OF this city, sued for
divorce ON the ground of ''extreme cruel
ty." The case was bitterly contested in
the courts here, and caused quites a SEN
sation at the time, but finally resulted
in decree for Mrs. Waldron. Mr.. Wal
dron then took an appeal to the Supreme
Court, which has reversed the decision
of the lower court, and set aside the de-
cree. In commenting on the case, the
San Francisco Call says:
Mary H. Waldron, wife of David V.
Waldron Of Los Angeles County, will
not be pleased with the decision rendered
yesterday by the Supreme Court, which,
with cold eye to the legal aspect only
OF her claim for divore in suit in the
Los Angeles County Superior Court, set
aside the decree of the lower court
which granted her divorce, with 800
per month alimony as long as she re-
mained unmarried, besides $1,000 attor-
ney's fees.
Mrs. Waldron sued for divorce on the
ground of extreme cruelty, the extreme
cruelty consisting of the vile and
abusive names, which Waldron was in
the habit of calling her when he became
a little 'how came we So" and reeled
home in the still small hours of the
morning. The Superior Court however
found that he was not alone to blame in
their little domestic disturbances, that
Mrs. Waldron had temper of her own,
and habit of speaking her mind pretty
freely on all occasions when her liege
lord was not as he should be. The court
also found that the vile names aforesaid
did not have any tendency to injure her
health.
The Supreme Court on appeal ruled
that the findings of the lower court did
not establish case of extreme cruelty"
within the meaning Of the statute. EX-
treme cruelty, as laid down by the best
authorities, must, to constitute grounds
for divorce, be in the first place without
cause or provocation, and in the second,
endanger the mental or bodily health OF
the person complaining. Both the find
ing ofthe court and the testimony in the
case showed that the abusive language
to some degree, at least, was provoked,
and there is not the slightest evidence
that the abuse in any way endangered
her health.
Justice Patterson in dissenting opin-
ion declares that the reasoning of the
other Justices is on the basis that woman
is mere animal and fails to take into
account her mental and emotional quail
tiles, and in conclusion declares:
1t must be remembered that one rea-
son why more divorces are granted now
than formerly, is because formerly
wives had no remedy for many outrag-
eOuS wrongs

Colonel w. H. H. Russell let Gently
Down.

Colonel w. II. H. Russell is no longer
an officer of the National Guard OF Cali
fornia, and while the means resorted to
let him down easy have not met with pu-
bile approval the fact that he is no Ion
ger connected with the organization is
matter OF general congratulation among
the companies composing the Seventh
Regiment, the order setting aside the
court martial proceedings in Colonel
Russell's case, and giving that officer an
opportunity of going on the retired list,
was publish some days ago. 1t ap-
pears, however, that Russell did not
care to take advantage of it, and yester-
day the following order, which dispos-
ed OF the case, was received from Gen
eral Headquarters at Sacramento, bear
ing date of August 1st:
1.-Company G, Seventh Regiment
OF Infantry, First Brigade, National
Guard of California, is hereby transfer
red to the Ninth Regiment of Infantry,
same brigade. Captain S. o. Wood, COM
manding that company, will report for
manding Ninth Regiment of Infantry,
and will make his returns and reports
for the month of August as Captain of
pony ~, A>ilI ANs ". W
The above transfer is approved and
authorized by the Board of Location and
Organization, in accordance with the
power conferred upon it by Section 1918
of the Political Code of this State.
2 The transfer of Company & to the
Ninth Regiment of Infantry reduces the
Seventh Regiment of Infantry to bat
talon of five companies, and it will be
known hereafter as the Seventh battalion
of Infantry, N. &C. AS battalion OF
five companies is not permitted by law
(Section 1884 of the Political Code) to
have an officer higher in rank than Lieu
tenant Colonel, the position of Colonel
OF the Seventh Regiment of Infantry is
hereby declared vacant, and Col. w. H.
H. Russell will cease to be an officer in
the National Guard of this State from
and after the date of this order.
This leaves Lieut.. Col. A. T. Palmer in
command of the battalion.

The storage amounts to one cent a

sold. That is where the United States
government, in the opinion of wine men,
make mistake. We are obliged to nav
