STREET ASSESSMENTS.
An important Supreme Court Ruling
on the Subject.
A Decision That May Upset a Con-
tractors Claim-Necessity for
Official Carefulness.

p. A. Miller of this city sued Eli Mayo
to foreclose lien for a street assessment
and secured judgment Mayo de-
INJURED that the complaint was defective
in alleging that the assessment was made
upon the property benefited by the
street improvement" and that such de-
scription was not in conformity with the
statute. The demurrer was overruled, u
new trial refused and Mayo appealed.
The Supreme Court yesterday reversed
the Superior Court and sent the case back
with orders to sustain the demurrer and
to permit Miller to amend his complaint
if he can.
The work was done under the Act of
March IS, 1886. Section of that law
provides that the expenses incurred for
work under the Act shall be assessed
upon the lots or lands fronting thereon,
each lot or portion of a lot being separately
assessed i'll proportion to the frontage.
] Assessment therefore as described in the
| complaint is not in compliance with the
| law.
| The order of the Trustees was to grade
| Twelfth street from to l.. The Street
| Commissioner posted these notices Of in
tention to grade at distances less than 800
feet apart. Mayo objected that that was
insufficient, but the Supreme Court saws
| it was compliance with the law, which
says the notices shall not be more than
800 feet apart, and not less than three i'll
number, and that when an entire cross
ing is to be improved a notice shall be
/ posted in front of each quarter block to
! be assessed.
Mayo contended that as the crossing
of Twelfth and * streets was included,
notices should have been posted in front
of each quarter of block as well as upon
the line of the street to be improved. at
intervals Of 800 feet.
The Supreme Court decides that the
! statute does not require this, because Sec
ton 3 of the Act provides for the 300 feet
posting, or" when an entire crossing is
to be improved, then the quarter block
posting. This is distinctive, and is a
separate direction. That is, if crossing
is to be improved, quarter block posting
must be had, but for any other work the
posting is to be ''along the line of the con-
templated work. in this case along
Twelfth, from to l. street. and in this
case that posting was sufficient
The bond of Miller, the contractor, was
approved by the Trustees, instead of by
the Superintendent of Streets. Mayo
claimed that such action was non-com-
pliance with the law. But the Supreme
Court says it was immaterial, because
after the work is completed and approved
by the superintendent Of Streers, prop

Commissioner Quinton's staff is Sup

SIMLA, April Further particulars
have been received from the scene of the
massacre. The insurgents captured Chief
Commissioner Quinton, Mr.. Grimwood
British political agent at Manipur, and
Colonel Skene, commander of detach-
ments from the Forty-second and Forty
fourth Ghoorkhas, which defended the
camp of Commissioner Pitcher between
kohima and Manipur. The opinion is
that the military authorities will have to
punish the insurgent tribes severely and
promptly in order to avert more seri-
Gus revolt which might follow any hesi-
fancy or display of weakness upon the
part of the British officials.
Six hundred Ghookhas and Cowley's
missing detachment have arrived at
Lakipur on the direct route from Silchor
to Manipur. 1t is believed all the mem
bers of Chief Commissioner Quinton's
staff are safe except Brackenbury.

milton was exhausted and that Commits

Oakland four runs. Then the San Fran
ciscos began to hit the ball in a lively
manner, and in the eighth punched their
batting, and O'Neill's low throw to first
base allowed three members of the visit

.sThe Spy"
A more elegant appliance than either
the bug" or ''hold-out," and one that
can be used to great advantage in con-
nection with these contriYances is the
"Spy." A person who deals over the
''spy'' has the privilege of knowing all
the hands of the other players, so that
they really play against him faces up.
Thus, if he wishes to avoid loss, be can
stay out whenever his hand is bad
one, and by only coming in once IN
every three or four deals can establish a
reputation for fair playing. In fact, by
using the spy" and the bug" when a
dealer, and the bug" or ''hold-out''
when net a dealer, dishonest player
can absolutely control the events OF the
game. The manufacturer does not over
rate It's usefulness when he says:
This simple and valuable little adj
vantage tool, with which you can read
each card as it leaves the pack, has now
reached perfection as far as we are con-
cerned, as we have steadily improved
upon it until we can improve no fur
Their"
The specuIum of the ''spy" is a mar
vel of reflective brilliancy, and since its
use does not involve the withdrawal of
any of the cards from the pack IAN i'm
pOrtant condition in a game where a
count of the cards is liable to be de-
manded as matter of right at any
time), it is perhaps the most effective
and deadly of all the dishonest appli-
anceS used at cards.
