A STATE QUARRY.
4 Valuable Deposit Of Granite in Dis
puto.

SACRAMENTO, June 29.-Whep the Can
trail Pacific Railroad was being built he
State gave certain rights and privileges I
the company, and in consideration thereof
the company decided to the State yalu-
able piece of granite land in Placer County.
1t was thought at the time the granite
would prove useful in building the State
Capitol, but it was not used. Several
years afterward the land was Jumped
by John and Mary Quinn, and was
worked by them for some time before
the Attorney General brought suit on be-
half of the State to oust them. They
however, abandoned the claim and the suit
was dismissed. For ten years the quarries
lay idle, although the QuinnS still claimed
the property was theirs. In the mean time
the husband died. Six months ago Mrs
Quinn and her husbands brother, Thomas
Quinn, re-entered upon the property and
began working the Quarries. The matter
was reported recently to Attorney-General
johnson and he commenced injunction
proceedings in behalf of the people In
the Superior Court of Placer County.
1t was learned, however, that Superior
ney for the QuiGns, and was disqualified
from hearing the case. Accordingly an pr
der transferring the case TO Sacramento
County was made, and District Attorney
Tuttle yesterday came with the necessary
papers ana turned them over to District
Attorney Bruner, who formally flied them
in the Superior Court. Mrs. Quinn
has succeeded in having several bills
introduced in the Legislature authorizing
the conveyance of the property from the
State TO her, setting forth that she and her
husband had made many improvements
and were entitled to the property. but none
of the bills were carried through. One did
pass both houses, but Governor Bartlett
vetoed it. 1t is understood that the Quinns
will not abandon the QuarrieS this time,
but will make a vigorous fight for them,
using as their main weapons the provisions
of the statute of limitations.

PERSONAL RIGHTS.
Letter From Judge Murry F. Tully to the
Chicago Turner's.

CHICAGO. June 29-Ten thousand people
who attended the annual games or the Tur-
ners' societies of Chicago listened to letter
from the well-known jurist, Judge Murry
F. Tully, which aroused decided interest.
The letter was addressed to the Chicago
District Turner's, as members OF the Per
sonal Rights League, and was read by
President Dyrenfurth of the league. In
the letter Judge Tully says he regards the
organization as one of the most important
factors in the preservation Of the liberties
of the people now existing.
"Just so far" says the Judge. as an indi-
vldua Is deprived Of his personal rights, just 10
that extent Is he enslaved. In slavery every law
which directly or indirectly forbids the exercise
of, or abrdges mans personal rights, depriyes
him TO that extent OF his liberty. But the danger
TO liberty IL not so much from unequal, tyran-
nical legislation as from the Ignoring OF written
laws, and the usurpation by executive officers OF
powers al any tlme or authority not granted by
the law. When, as In the city OF Chicago, ar.
rests are made upon bare suspicion and without
warrants OF persons not found 10 the act

cisions fayoring the personal rights and frer dom
OF commerce; when upon almost every article or

made by means OF unlawful trusts and cOmblna-
tions, it is time, say, not only 10 call halt, but
to establish personal rights leagues in every

Don't refuse TO hear me, Miss Pether-

DISAPPOINTED OFFICERS.
The Pensacola 10 Be Sent 10 the South
Atlantic Station.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Secretary Tracy
tried his hand last week at surprising the
people. When he ordered the fitting out of
the Pensacola as a flagship it was gener-
ally expected that she would go to Europe
with Commodore Mccain as Admiral of
that station, and there was an immediate
rush of officers with influence to get berths
on her. Several who we're assigned to her
made arrangements to lease their houses
here and send their wives over to
join them on the other side. But
now all is changed, and the officers
of the Pensacola are very sad,
including her Commander, for the Secre-
tary has decided to send Commodore Nc
Cam TO command the South Atlantic Sta
ton, with the Pensacola as his flagship.
He will leave New York in company with
the Enterprise in about month, and will
sail direct for Brazil. The Essex, after the
celebration at Portland, Me-, will return to
New York, and will soon after sail for
Europe, bearing the body Of John Ericsson.
Afterward she will proceed to Brazil to
join the South Atlantic squadron, which
will then consist of four ships.

A MATTER OF SURVIVAL.
An Interesting Decision In a Suit Grow
ing Out of the j Jnhnst % Mn Elnod.

An Interesting Decision In a Suit Crow
ing Out of the Johnstown Flood.
Judge Dennis recently delivered an in
teresting opinion in the case of Bertha II.
Cowman against Bertha Fl. Cowman as ad-
ministratrix of Walter E. Hopes and G.
Lloyd Rogers. in which the Supreme Lodge,
Order of the Golden Chain, filed bill of in
terpleader.
The case arose out of the Johnstown dis
aster to determine who was entitled to the
$1,000 to be paid on the death of Walter E.
Hopes, Secretary of the Johnstown Steel
Company, member of the order, and who
with his wife and two children was drowned
in the flood. Mrs. Cowman is a sis r of
Mr.. Hopes and claimed the fund, while
Mr.. Rodgers, as administrator of the two
children of Mr.. Hopes, cOntended that
they belonged to both parents and the fund
to their estate.
There was only one survivor of the flood
who knew anything of the manner in
which the Hopes family persisted. He
testified that he was In the dwelling of Mr..
Hopes, in the parlor with Mr.. and Mrs.
Hopes, when he saw dark body covering
the windows. He rushed out and upstairs,
and never saw Mr.. and Mrs. Hopes after
that. Upstairs were his own wife and
child and the two children of Mr. Hopes
He got them all together and drove them
before him up to the top of the attic steps.
Then the house was swept away, and all
were drowned except himself.
Under the old Roman law, Judge Dennis
remarked, all sorts of presumptions as to
survivorship were taken into cons idera-
ton. as to sex and strength, being an ex-
pert swimmer, etc., but the English law
swept all this away, and the courts now do
not consider presumption in such case.
The leading case in this country, cited by
Judge Dennis, is that of Ball. in Cheeve's
South Carolina Reports, arising out of
the blowing up of the steamer Pulaski,
plying between Savannah and Charles
ton. In this case Mrs. Ball was heard,
some ten minutes after the explosion, to
call loudly for her husband aud she re-
ceived no response, and as he was known
as a brave man and devoted husband the
court decided that the evidence was suffi-
cient to establish that she survived, throwing
out as not so conclusive the fact that some
minutes after the explosion man rushed to
the side and threw coat into a small boat,
and then disappeared and never was seen
afterward, and that the coat would fit Ball,
a large man. and that il bore his initials
The Court held that the man might be other
than Ball himself.
Judge Dennis, acting on the only tangible
evidence, decided that the children of
Hopes survived their parents. and awarded
the fund to their estate.-Baltimore Ameri-

TO GET 1926 FOR HIS HAIR.
The Strange Way in Which Antrim W o,
rillow Became Bald.

The Strange Way in Which Antrim Wor-
riIIow Became Bald.
Media, Pa, has been treated to novel en-
tertainment in the Court House for several
days, and it has attracted large audiences.
Antrim Worrillow was driving along the
public road in Lower Chicester some time
ago and came upon scene that is seldom
witnessed outside of Spain and her older
colonies. 1t was bull fight. With locked
horns and foaming mouths two gentlemen
cows were engaged IN duel in the kings
highway, to the delectation Of a bevy of
feminine Jerseys who were enjoying the
sport near by.
His horse, fearing bulls, as all his kind
do, slid sidewise to the farthest admissible
place and endeavored to pass by, regardless
of consequences and the restraint of his
master. All would have been well but for
a solitary tree that sent its branches over
hanging the road, and il was these that tore
the top OIL the Dearborn, broke the traces
and shot Mr.. WOrrillOw out into the road.
He was picked up insensibe, and suffered
for weeks before being able to get about
again. Mr.. Worrillow brought suit against
the Road Supervisors for $1,000 damages for
negligence In permitting the highway to
be obstructed by the tree, and Judge Clay
ton had wrestled with this for two full
days, uncertain whether the blame rested
on the bulls, the road. the tree or the horse,
but with inclination toward the bulls.
N0rrll0w produced many witnesses as
to the facts, and DR.. Stellwagen of Phila-
delphia as to the cause of his badness, for
his hair had all fallen out. The doctor
called his disease allopRcla areata, which
he told the court meant badness in patches
caused by the shock.
The defense had also an array of wit
nesses, and among these DR.. d. Lannoy of
Chester, who differed with Stelwagen. as
doctors invariably do. He said Mr.. Wor-
rlllOw's disease was not as stated on the
other side, so he thought, but it was para
sitical and could be cured, the shock hay-
ing nothing to do with it,
The Judge hardly knew what to do, and
especially did he know nothing at all about
medical matters. AS he was brought up on
farm he did know all about bulls, and
there were many of these in his charge.
He told the jury they were twelve sensible
men and could settle the question by the
facts, although these were somewhat mixed.
Ii the bulls smashed the wagon and the
tree did not touch it, then the bulls were
clearly liable; but il the tree was the sole
cause OF the accident and the bulls did not
run against it, then the tree should bear
the blame; but if the bulls scared the horse
into the tree and all together contributed to
the general wreck, 1t was for the jury to di-
vide the conspirators and lay the damages
accordingly. As the bulls had no money
and could not be assessed the tree should
only be charged with it's share and this
would fall on the Supervisors to pay,
therefore no excessive amount should be
awarded.
The jury retired for half hour and gave

COAL OIL IN SUMNER.
It Is specially Dangerous to Handle at
This Season.

It Is spe cially Dangerous to Handle at
This Season.
A frightful succession of coal oil calami-
ties again compels attention to the fact that
in hot weather the products of petroleum
become increasingly dangerous. AS the
temperature rises, all these products, from
the heaviest crude oil to the most volatile
naphtha, expand rapidly and give off gas
that mixed with the air becomes explosive.
dealers in kerosene illustrate the safety
of their high test Illuminating oils by
throwing lighted match into a vessel filled
with the article they especially recommend.
That can be done as long as 10 W tempera-
ture is carefully maintained, but the in
slant the temperature reaches the point
where evaporation begins then danger
threatens. Gas is generated, and, as it
spreads abroad, fills the vicinity with
an explosive compound which, coming
in contact with fire communicates in
flashing combustion with the body Of the
fluid, aud an OutburSt of fame follows
which it is almost impossible for any
human agency to deal with. This was
undoubtedly the cause of the calamity to
the tank steamer Hans and Hurts at the
wharf on Wednesday, as it was of the SINH
lar catastrophe resulting in the destruction
of the steam schooner Louis Bucki at sea.
The gasoline accident yesterday at Almond
and Adams streets was of the same charac-
ter, and was attributable, as were the Others
mentioned, to the effect of the hot weather
on petroleum products. The accident to
oil tanks by lightning are due to the
same agency, electricity exploding the gas
generated from the oil, and the flash setting
the tank on fire. 1t is difficult to imagine
how these dangers can be provided against
when the products of petroleum are of ne
cessity stored in large quantities; but it is
at least plain requisite that the dangers
should be recognized and understood. to the
end that extraordinary care may be exer-
cised during the summer seasOn.-Philadel-

A Story illustrating the Explorers
Readiness of Resource.
Herbert Ward tells story illustrating
Stanley'S readiness Of resource in dealing
with crafty savage trying to Overreach
him. When the explorer reached Stanley
Pool on his last expedition the big Bateke
chief Ngalyema, who figured conspicuously
In Stanley's book on the Congo State, came
to him demanding big present on the
ground that some of his carriers had taken
bananas from his plantation. Stanley had
good reason to believe the willy ivory-trader
was lying, and he did not propose to fall
into his trap. Almost any one else would
have told the chief he was a prevaricator,
and there would have been an angry dis
cussion and bad feeling on all sides; but
that was not Stanley's way. He at once
summoned all his men into lire, and walked
up and down in front Of it with the chief.
asking him to pick out the culprits. Ngal-
yema said he could not do it.
Now look here, Ngalyema," said STAN
ley, how can | pay you for stolen BAN
anas unless you give me proof that my men
have stolen them; and how can l panish
thieves unless l know who they are? Wait
a minute"
Stanley withdrew into his tent and pres
emily emerged with piece of chalk. ''See
here, Ngalyema," he said, This little thing
in my hand makes a white mark on the
black skin. Take it. The next time you
catch my men stealing your bananas you
mark the thieves on the back with this piece
of chalk. Then l will know who the
thieves are, and can punish them, and l
will pay you for the bananas they have
stolen"

when he went away. for he had the chalk
