A WRIT OF ERROR.
A Decision That Iuterests the Merchants
of California.

OF CatttOr4I8s
SAN Francisco, Sept. 30.-The first
writ of error issued by the supreme
court since the adoption of the conati-
tuition in 1879 was ordered issued this
afternoon in the case OF F. II. Widher
against the supreme court of San
Joaquin county and Judge Budd. 1t
appears that certain creditors of w. w.
Stockwell petitioned the San Joaquin
county court in February last to adjud-
icate him insolvent. Three days after
the filing OF creditors petition, the
debtor filed his own petition. whereon
he was Immediately adindicated
insolvent. Stockwell having ten
days in which to answer the creditors
petition, he filed his voluntary petition
to defeat the order OF adjudication on
the creditors petition. Judge Budd
refused to adjudicate Stockwell insol-
vent upon the creditors petition, and
also permitted the secured creditors to
vote for an assignee in the amount of
their secured claims. Hence the writ
of error, which was granted by the su-
preme court upon the ground that it has
appellant Jurisdiction in insolvency, al
though the errors committed by Judge
Budd were not appealable. and that a
writ of review will not reach errors The
decision in this case will be awaited
with great interest by the mercantile
world of California.

Foreign cold RegulatIons,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80 The director
OF the mint, with the approval of the
secretary OF the treasury, has issued in
structions to the superintendent of the
assay Office at New York. in cases OF de-
posits Of foreign gold or bars, that such
an approximation of their value, as
in the discretion of the superin-
tendent may be regarded safe, not
to exceed ninety per cent. of the
value, be paid pending melt and
assay. The purpose of this regulation
is to encourage, as far as can be legally
done by the government, the importa-
tion of foreign gold into the United States
by allowing importers spot cash value
for foreign gold as soon as received. in.
stead of requiring them to wait while
the deposits are being melted and the
exact gold determined.

WORLD OF SPORT.
The BOstOnians Assume the
Lead in the Race.

2:09 Flat at Richmond.
Allerton Trots an Exhibition Mile
in 2:1Oh.
E.cin0 at Gravesend-strathmea the
Amerfcan Derby Winner, Beaten.
Sporting News from
Many POints.

The Bostonians are now in the lead in
the race for the pennant in the National
league by a slender margin. 1t has now
settled down to race between Chicago
and Boston, and it will be royal one,
too. New York should finish third.
The Bostonians have been putting up
the stiffest kind of ball for 8 month
past.
The second annual fair of Orange
county is now in full blast at Santa Ana.
Quite a number of .Angelefios go down
every day to see the sport. Friday and
Saturday promise to be the two best
days of the week. On Saturday Lucy
R., Glendine and Mckinney come to-
gether. The railroad company has
made epecial rate.
Richmond, Indiana, was yesterday the
scene of two wonderful performances
Nancy Hanks came within a quar-
ter of a second of equaling the
long-standing record of Maud S. of
2O8A. Nancy Hanks is undoubtedly
the greatest trotter in the world. She
is a race mare, and in the coming match
the writer predicts that Allerton Will
meet his Waterloo. Nancy Hanks beat
Allerton once before, and can do the
trick again. The Richmond track is not
as fast as the Independence track, over
which Allerton made his record, and
these conditions must be considered in
comparing records.
The kite-shaped track is anyway from
two to three seconds faster than the
ellipiical track. This is generally ac-
knowledged and is susceptible of proof
Nancy Hanks is only years old. Maud
S.,was Ii when she made the worlds
record of 2:08M. 1t certainly looks as
if Nancy Hanks will be crowned queen
in the very near future. Readers OF
this column will remember that the
prediction was made in this paper that
Maud S. was liable to he dethroned, and
Nancy Hanks was mentioned as the
one most likely to do it, although the
record was five seconds slower than now.
There is now only half second diff
ference between the records of Maud s.,
Nancy Hanks and Allerton.
The record made by Faustino should
not be overlooked. III the writer's
memory is not at fault it is the fastest
time ever made by a 3.year-old in a
race, Faustino was bred in California,
and is by Sidney, the premier stallion
at the Valensin stock farm.
Nancy Hanks enjoys the distinction OF
never having lost race. She holds the
record for the fastest three heats, and
has trotted the second fastest mile on
record. Nancy Hanks also holds the
5.vear-old record of the world.

The ssMonarcll of the DaIlies" Plays His
Honor Alive.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 30.-The Ex-
aminer will say editorially tomorrow:
"Judge Murphy has done what was
expected OF him. He has appointed
himself supreme court to review and
overrule the decisions of the presiding
Judge of the court of which he is one of
the least important and least reputable
members"
After scoring Murphy, characterizing
his conduct as scanda GUS indecencv,
the Examiner says: "The next thing
is to continue the fight and keep on
fighting until honesty has possession of
the field, and when the accounts of the
grand jury with the people are closed,
we may have city government without
boss, a legislative delegation with
out bribe-taker, and superior court
without traitor"

Brazilians Regret His Death, but VIII
Not Tolerate Any of His Family.
PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE accounts of the
scenes at the death-bed of Dom Pedro
show that to the very last his thoughts
were of the country over which he had
so long ruled and whose welfare, des-
pite the treatment accorded to him and
his family, he had so closely at heart
The eX-emperor was conscious to the
end. At almost the last moment he
exhorted the Countess D. Eu, his daugh-
ter and formerly heiress apparent
to the Brazilian throne, and
her husband to bear up against
sorrow and to pray with him
for the greatness and prosperity
of Brazil The Countess D'Eu has no
present intention to protest to the Bra
lillian government against her exile
from the country, but she maintains
all her rights in connection with the
crown. She says she is ready to re-
turn to Brazil at the first summons
sent her
Immediately after the death of the
ex-emperor all present in the room
knelt and kissed the hand of Countess
D'Eu who, upon her fathers death, in
stantly became invested with all rights
to the throne of Brazil
A Rio de Janeiro dispatch says that
the news of Dom Pedro's death was re-
ceived with sincere grief by the Brazil
ians. But while all unite in regret for
the former emperor there is a deep and
strong determination that the en-
pire should never be revived.
Should the Princess Isabella and the
Count d'Eu make and persist in any
demand for the imperial succession the
result will probably be the confscation
of all the property of the imperial fam
