STATE INSANE ASYLUM.
NOT KIDNAPPING.

4 Decision Rendered in Case From
Los Angeles County.
At midnight on the 26th of February last,
F. C. Keil, Charles Miller, Fred Enewald-
sen, A. and j, A. Anderson boarded a
schooner that was lying at the wharf in
San Pedro harbor, and, partly by threats
and show OF pistols aud partly by brute
force, abducted two sailors named Bush
aud Kemp, who were on the schooner.
The sailors were taken in small boat to
the Island of Santa Catalina, and the par
ties to the outrage were held for kidnapping
and an assault with deadly weapon. They
appealed on habeas corpus TO the Supreme
Court, on the ground that their act was not
kidnapping
The Supreme Court in its decision held
that the case was not one of kidnapping,
which is defined as the foreible abduction
OF a person with intent to take him out of
the county or State, while San Pedro and
Santa Catalina Island are both in Los An
geles County.
The Supreme Court, however, refused to
release them from custody, saying that their
detention for assault with deadly weapon
and for false imprisonment was perfectly
legal.

ODD FELLOWS CEMETERY,

Purchase of New Grounds,

The Order Does Not Contemplate the
Purchase of New Grounds.
A report has been circulated that the Odd
Fellows contemplate the purchase of 200
acres of land near Colma, in San Mateo
County. Tor the purpose of establishing a
cemetery site. George T. Bohen, who is
President of the Odd Fellows Cemetery
Association, gives this a most emphatic
denial, and says that no purchase of land
has been made or contemplated at Colma or
any other station by the Board of Directors.
The laws under which the association's
charter was granted will not permit the
purchase of any land outside of the city
and county of San Francisco for cemetery
or for any other purpose, and the statement
that such purchase is in contemplation is
wholly unauthorized by the Board of
Trustees, which alone has the power to
make purchases or exrend money. The
Trustees are now expanding from $4,000
to $4,000 in building walls and making
other improvements on the line of Point
Lobos avenue. Their object is to take care
of what property they are now in possess
sion of and not 10 accumulate any other

The rapid transit problem which has been
absorbing the attention of Detroit, Mich,
for some time has resulted in the Offering of
another solution. The Detroit City Railway
company have been for some months exper-
imenting with storage batteries and while
very satisfactory results have been attained,
the company have been at the same time
conducting other experiments, the result of
which is the proposed new system, of which
Mr.. X. Van RENSSELAER, Sill is the inventor.
Trolley wires, whether overhead or in con-
Quits. and storage batteries, have no place
in the new system, the current being car
ried from the dynamo through an
insulated wire placed underground be-
tween the rails of the track. The
track is divided electrically into sections
and the current passes from the main
line by means of conductors through n
converter and switch on the surface and to
one rail, thence through the wheels on that
side to the motor on the car. and returns
by means of the wheels and rail on the
other side. Mr.. Sill has been experiment.
ing with the system for year, and 1t is said
to work to the entire satisfaction OF the
company, experimentally. An 50 amper
volts, according to the speed at which the
car is running operates the system, and
the current will pass through only that
section of the track over which the car Is
passing. It is estimated that $4,000 per
mile will equip road exclusive of cal
equipments. trial will be made on the
company's road within a month or two.
