LIBRARY GUARANTOKS.

The Trustees VIII Force Them to Paw
for Lost Books.
At the meeting of the Free Library Trus-
tees last evening. Librarian Cheney ex-
planned that since November, 1887, when he
assumed charge, the loss of books in two
sections of the library had been found, by
investigation, to aggregate eighty-six vol
umes, or a possible loss in the entire library
of 600 books.
There were formerly three methods by
which loss of books was entailed: First,
those taken out on cards and unreturned :;
second, those taken out on duplicate door
checks. made by splitting the pasteboard
check used, and third, those stolen by en-
plOyes. The latter cause Mr.. Cheney re-
garded as very slight indeed. Since the in
PRODUCTION of brass checks, the second cause
has been overcome. The main difficulty
still remains, viz, the loss by cards.
OF the eighty-stX volumes lost, ffty-eight
were by this means, and MI Cheney sug-
gested to the board that it take measures to
compel guarantors to pay the value of lost
books. The three lawyers on the board
thought II might be well to enforce the
library's claims through the courts, and be-
sides recovering the money due the library
force the guarantorS to pay more money as
costs. With this idea in view, the matter
was referred to the Book Committee, with
power to act.
The branch librarians were directed to
prepare complete lists Of the books under
their charge for use in the main library.
A set of rules regulating The forfeiture of
pay by employees for absence and the COM
pensation of substitutes was reported by
Trustee Joseph O'Connor, and, after con-
siderable discussion, was again referred to
the special committee having it in charge.
Augustus LAYER was allowed $50 for
services as architect IN fitting up the new
library, and demands amounting to
S303S 30 were audited.

M'CANN PUNISHED.


Sentence OF n Druggist Who Mailed I'm
proper Circulars.
Thomas 7. Mccain, the Stockton drug
gist. charged by the Society for the Pre-
ventiOn of Vice last July with mailing
medical circulars containing indecent
literature, was sentenced by Judge Roff-
man yesterday to two years Imprisonment
in the State Prison with hard labor:
Mccain fled to Canada last August, when
out on bonds of $1,000, but on April Sd was
arrested by Postoffice Inspector Fleming at
Bloomington, ILL.,, and returned to this
city. He pleaded guilty week ago and
was ordered to appear for sentence yester-
day. Judge Hoffman gave McCann a lee
ture, which the prisoner will, no DOUBT,
consider in his cell. The Judge considered
the distribution of these circulars a source
of decentralization and dissemination of a
knowledge Of practices from which every
father would carefully guard his child
There was no telling into whose hands the
hurtful circulars might fall when sent
through the mails, or what the result might
be.
Mccain is the father Of two small
children now in the San Francisco Found
ling Home, one of whom is pining away be-
cause she cannot see him. He left the
courtroom without betraying any emotion.

A DIAMOND TRANSACTION.
Suit to Recover Money Paid for Some o
the Precious Stones.

Suit to Recover Money Paid for Some of
the Precious Stones.
Suit was begun in the Superior Court
yesterday by George NJ. Perine against A
w. Stott to recover $1,000 and to cancel an
agreement between the parties. 1t is al
legged that on August q, 1889, it was agreed
that the defendant would sell TO the plain
tiff two diamond EARRINGS for which $1,000
would be paid in installments of $500, it be-
ing provided, however, that upon the re-
turn of plaintiffs father to this State the
diamonds should be submitted to him for
his opinion as to their value. If the father
gave it as his opinion that the diamonds
were OF less value than $1,000 the plaintiff
should have the option within a reasonable
time thereafter to ca noel said agreement,
and defendant would upon the delivery of
the diamonds return all sums that had been
paid.
Perine's father upon his return said that
the diamonds were not worth over S1400.
AT this time plaintiff had paid $1,000 On
the 18th of last month he visited Stott and
expressed his dissatisfaction with the bar
gain and requested the return of the $1,000
in exchange for the diamonds. Stott re-
fused TO pay over the money, hence the suit.
