DUPONT-STREET BONDS.

A Decision Reached In the United States
Supreme Court.
The Washington dispatch relative to the
Supreme Court decision in the case of
William NJ. Lent versus the City and County
OF San Francisco is so meager that its full
force and effect cannot be determined until
the text of the decision is received. The
information at hand, however, is sufficient
tOshow that the law under which the WIDEN
ing OF Dupont street was conducted is con-
stitutiOnal, that property owners were not
unlaWfully deprived of their property, and
consequently that the decision of the State
courts sustaining The legality of all the pro-
ceedings must be upheld

DYNAMITE SHELLS.
By way Of comment on the suggestion

new wharf is being rapidly constructed
at Fort Point for the landing OF engineering
material to be used in the construction of
Notifications. The new guns will be S-inch,
10-inch and 12-inch breech-loading rifles,
with a few 12-inch breech-loading rifed
mortars, the whole outfit most effectively
replacing the cumbrous and useless 15-inch
smOoth-bore guns, OF which about eighty are
now strewed around the Enclosures at Black
Point, AlcatraZ and Fort Point. AS soon
as the new guns begin to arrive the out-of-
date batteries erected during the Civil War
will pass away to Join the happily buried
bitterness of that struggle, and San Fran

position, will be as safe as the Bay OF
Gibraltar.
A few torpedo-boats and a coast-defense
vessel can keep the most aggressive cruiser
outside tile heads, and If she should 90
further it would assuredly be to fare worse.
The submarine mines will come into play,
an unseen operator will press the button,
and, as before remarked, the mine will do

COnWay's case had been fully entered ana

his name on the index would refer direct to
the page wherein was written the record of
dismissal.
1t is always customary when a case is
finally disposed of to prepare Judgment
roll and file the papers away among the
criminal records in the County Clerks
Office. It is rare, indeed that the Judgment
roll is more than few days later than the
final disposition of the case.
Inquiry at the County Clerks Office de-
velOped the curious fact that the papers
were missing. Further inquiry Of the court
room clerk failed TO discover them The
search was extended into the District At
torney's Office, and there all knowledge of
the papers was denied. 1t was stated by
Assistant Hinkle, however, that the case
was still pending. One of the other at

declared that the case was still pending, and
