TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
Judge Van Eeynegom and Patrick Redd
ErNe a Few W ords.

Judge Van Eeynegom and Patrick Reddy
Have Few Words.
Judge Van Reynegom and Patrick Reddy
had little tilt in court yesterday that made
the air look smoky for few minutes. A
witness was being examined in the johnson
case, now on trial, and the ex-senator was
crowdiug him hard to the wall in a way
that brought loud protest from the oppo-
sition.
Finally the Judge stopped proceedings and
SOld Mr. Ready in hastily chosen words that
suCs. manner Of conducting his case would
not be tolerated any longer, and that lie
must employ respectable methods or suffer
the penalty OF his acts.
The word respectable" was not the one
the Judge really meant TO use, but it fell
like a spark IN magazine, and the newt
able explosion followed. Mr.. Reddy jumped
up and faiTly hONled. The windows actually
tremble1 while he was laundering to the
Judge his sentiments about respectability.
1t took less than ten seconds for every one
in that COURTROOM aud all surrounding
ones to find ont that Mr.. Reddy considered
himself quite as decent and respectable as
Judge Van lteynegom, or any other Judge.
He did not propose to be insulted in that
way, and the Judge or any one else that did
it would have to apologize.
II was Judge Van ReynngOm's turn now
10 become very pale, and be did so. lie ac-
knOwledged that he had made bad use of
the word respectable" and did not mean it
in the sense Mr.. Reddy had taken it; but
nevertheless be would have his court re-
spected, even at the cost of severe processes
MIR. Reddy seemed appedsed, and the storm
died down almost as suddenly as it rose.

THAT SEA-WALL CONTRACT.
Failure of Owens Brothers to Secure
Sureties on Their Bond.

Failure of Owens Brothers to Secure
Sureties Their Bond.
F. j. and j. K. Owens, who secured a few
days ago the contract for the construction of
Section Is of the sea-wall for S93,520, are
having hard time in finding bondsmen.
The bond required is $4,000, and they were
given until Saturday to procure sureties,
and this time has been extended until
Monday next.
On Thursday the Owens Brothers APP
pe2red before the HaTbOr Commissioners
with sureteS, who were verbally examined.
Among them was Richard McCanu. the con-
tractor, Who was accepted as a surety for
$1,000, but yesterday notified the Commits
sioneTs that he had withdrawn IRON the
bond. and would refuse to qualify.
The Commissioners again met yesterday,
AMI the Owens Brothers were represented
by Andrew j. ClunIe. There appeared 10
be a reluctance on the part of the Commits
sioners to accept the boudSmen of Owens.
The suretles who had testified on the day
before were not all accepted. The Commits
sOners had sent out to the New City Hall
and ascertained the amounts fGr Which they
were assessed.
In enc case q man named Sicily had quail
fed for $500 and he was only represented
by S1400 on the assessment roll. In cases
where the suretjes had only $4,000 worth of
property and had families or homestead in
cumbrauceS the Commissioners refused to
accept the sureties, except for small
amounts Clunie claimed that Owens had
to obtain sureties for S30,000 while the Com
misSioners hold that lie must have sureties
for double that amount \ number of the
suretes presented by Owens Brothers have
been rejected.
AS Commissioner English said: ave
must be careful about tins thing, and have
only responsible men on the bond, for the
contract price is n very low one and we
tnust he over cgutiOuS -
In regard to McCann's withdrawal from
the bond, Attorney Clunie showed the
board a telegram signed by McMullin of the
San Francisco Bridge Company asking Ne
Cam to come at once to his Office, as he
wanted to see him on important business.
The San Francisco Bridge Company is the
next loves bidder for the contract, and on
the following DAY Mccain withdrew from
Ovens bond.
Ovens side claim that the extra care of
the Commissioners and the stumbling blocks
put in their way is all the part of il plot to
prevent them from presenting their bond in
lime, and thus throwing the contract to the
next lowest bidder, who is 4 rich man and
can easily secure sureties at minutes
notice.

FLAG PRESENTATION.
Native Sons Award C0lOrs to
Three Vessels.

One of the most pleasant events OF the
Native Sons celebration took place at the
Baldwin yesterday afternoon. 1t was the
awarding Of flags to the best decorated ships
on Admission day by the Decoration Com
mittee. 1t was more than simple award OF
merit 1t was The extension of good feeling
from the Native Californians to the foreign
vessels whose appreciation of their celebra-
ton had led them to compete in making
their vessels respondent with bunting and
the night of the ninth brilliant with pyIo-
technic displays.
The lucky ships are the W. j. Pirrie.
British Merchant and Louise. The two flrst
are British and the last is German vessel.
All three were so nearly equal in their deco,
ration displays that to award a first second
and third prize to them, as at first intended,
was manifestly unjust. 1t was then de-
cided, on the recommendation OF Inc SUD
Committee on Waterfront Decorations,
comprising Captains BulgeT, Bingham and
Frcese, to make a uniform award to the
three This they decided should be bear
flag 6X10 feet in dimensions, made in the
most handsome manner possible.
Alter assembling at the headquarters the
party, about fifty in number. adjourned to
the parlOTS, where w. II. Nelson, wee
Chairman of the Joint Committee, made the
first presentation speech and gave the flag,
destined 10 fly at the masthead OF the w. j.
Pirric, into the hands of her master, Captain
H. Webster. The latter made a feeling re-
spouse, stating that the hospitality extended
the sailors at this FORT makes this nag,
souvenir Of past history, doubly dear.
Captain f. J. Mol0ny of the British Mer-
chant received his flag from the hands Of
Leo f. Hampton, Chairman of the Decora-
ton Committee, and responded IN very
neat speech.
Colonel Charles Crocker presented the
award of merit 20 the captain of the ship
Louise, Captain K. AlDerts. who lost sight
of his country and his language for the mo-
ment in his warm words OF appreciation Tor
the flag.
CAPTAINS Bulger, Freese and Bingham,
members of the Subcommittee, TO whose
efficient work is due great deal of the sue
cess of the water fronts decorations, each
made speeches, disclaiming any special
credit for their work, though their unanim-
ity during th5 past month really made
system in water decorations possible.
Dr. Charles w. Decker and John I.
Creamy made short addresses, after which
an adjournment was made 10 the dining
room, where a lunch was spread. There all
Formally was lost and toast upon toast was
proposed.
The Decoration Committee has made the
following awards for the best decorated
business houses: FIRST prize, Chicago Cloth
ing Company: general Northumberland

Colonel Andrews Diamond Palace and

Information ana Belief Cannot Be Taken


In the case of Mr.. Which of Santa Cruz,
who claimed to be unlawfully restrained of
his liberty under an order of arrest issued
by Justice of the Peace of Santa Cruz
County, Justice Fox of the Supreme Court
discharged
Winch was the former proprietor of
restaurant, and having sold his place was
arrested on the suspicion that he was about
to leave the State in order to defraud his
creditors. Justice Fox holds that the lower
arrest, because the affidavit upon which it
was based was fundamentally defective.
Justice Fox says: 1.-The allegations are upon
information and belief. But the Legislature
has deemed personal liberty too sacred to
allow a party to go into an inferior court
ana secure an order of arrest en- anything
less than proof, and information and belief
Is not proof"
