ONE MORE SCANDAL.

1t Is dull week with the Harrison
administration that does not develop
fresh scandal to assaiI the nostrils OF
the country.
A Washington dispatch explains how
RAUM was saved from the fate that be-
fell his predecessor. 1t is said that
when the president returned from
Swinging around the circle" he was so
impressed with the general opposition
to RAUSl. which he found wherever he
went, that he was entirely convinced OF
the necessity of change in the admin
istration of the pension bureau. and he
resolved that the change should be
made Immediately after his return to
Washington. In the consultation which
he held with Boss QUAY at the White
house, he announced to that Republican
magnate his intention. The alarming
news was soon carried to RAUM, and he
went into executive session with that
chief Of the Washington sharks, LEMON.
He was not disappointed in his esti-
mate OF the influenced the boss shark
TO save him. He had lien upon LEMON
on account Of those completed files"
at government expense, which he had
managed for the boss shark. LEMON
at once consulted with DUDLEY, the
hero OF "the blocks-of-fve" scheme.
The result of the conference was emil
nently satisfactory. LEMON went to
HARRISON and told him that the pension
sharks, numbering 5000, were good for
5000 each for the next presidential cam
paign, and that he would pledge cor
ruption fund of S7OO,OO to help the
president towards reelection on the
sole condition of the retention of RAUM
in office. That seductive offer set
tied the business, and when Sec
rotary NOBLE, who hates RAUM
as heartily as he did TANNER,
called upon the president to get him to
demand RAUM's resignation, he was
met by rebuff of the most emphatic
kind. Even when he threatened to re-
sign, Mr.. NOBLE could not alter the
presidents determination. The work
Of compelling the removal Of the brand
ed official is left to the new Democratic
house of representatives.. 1t will be
necessary for the investigation COM
mittee to look closely into this alleged
compact between LEMON and the presi-
lent. 1t will furnish very interesting
chapter in the history Of the pension
office under the present administration.
There should be careful search made
after that corruption fund to be raised
by the Washington sharks. This last
scandal is the worst so far of the I'M
fortunate Harrison administration.

roledo stroet car Strike settlsd,

TOLEDO, o., 19.-The street car
strike was settled at o'clock this
morning, the result of a conference
among the companies, committee Of
strikers and the Mayor. All con-
ductors and motor men are to receive
sl.sO per day Of twelve hours; drivers
of horse cars S1.70. The men struck for
50, instead of S1.55 and S1.65, hence the
settlement Is a compromise. One Of the
noteworthy features Of the negotiations
was the rejection By the strikers Of an
offer by the Consolidated Co. to give
two cents out of every fve-z0 per
Of the gross receipts-to the drivers and

CHICAGO, July 19.-Wm. Leuthstrom,
manager of the Carey Lombard Lumber
Co., who has been missing from home
for more than week, is supposed to be
defaulter to the extent OF $40, 900. de
was last seen by his wife week ago
Tuesday at which time he told his wife
he had to make business trip. Satur-
day afternoon he left the Office OF the
lumber company with $4,000, which he
was going to deposit in the bank. Fall
ing to show up Tuesday inquiries as to
his whereabouts developed the fact that
Leuthstrom had left the city. A hasty
examination of the company's BOOKS
showed shortages amounting in The ag-
gregate TO over $4,000.
Although a married man and the
father of five children, Leuthstrom
when he left the city was accompanied
by woman with whom he has been &C.
casionally stopping at the Briggs House
since February last. 1t Is known that
the defaulter has been doing consider
able specializing on change OF late.
Yet the firm of whose interests he was
manager, had implicit confidence in his
honesty. He is believed 10 have started
for Australia. His wife and children
are left destitute.

the steerage passengers who arrived on
the La Bourgoyne from Havre to-day.
He had with q pretty little woman
whom he introduced as his wife, but a
few minutes later his statement was
found to be false. AS soon as he landed
an angry woman met him and began
belaboring him with an umbrella. 1t
nroved to be his wife whom he had left
In Paris two weeks ago. She followed
him to Havre, and took passage on the
same steamer, but could not find him on
board. The couple made up and went
off together, while wife No. 2 disap-
neared.

BERLIN, July 19.-The police made

in search of evidence OF treason. They
arrested many persons. and seized a
large number OF documents, which, II
is said, prove the existence OF treason
able unions and clubs, subsidized by the

The q. A. Il. Encampment.

DETROIT, MICH, July 19.-The Ohio
visitors to the G. A. R. Encanpment are
coming at the rate of one cent per
mile. The Columbus, Hooking Valley
e. Toledo, the Wheeling & Lake Erie
and Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
railroads, the three main north and
south lines through Ohio, have agreed
upon a one cent per mile rate, and the
transportation committee OF the Ohio
G.. A. r. have made these three roads
the official lines.
The influence OF the cut to one cent
per mile upon other roads is profile
NAUTICAL. A prominent member of the
Michigan Passenger Association said
last night that it would lead to gener-
al smash In rates on all lines. The d. 81
O., and Big Four will be compelled TO
meet the rate or surrender the bust
ness, and If several other big roads
should follow suit the passengers Asso-
Citations would have merry war upon

THE New York Tribune thus gives
itself away in speaking Of the new plate
glass factory at Irwin, Pa:
sThese works would have been impossi-
BILE but for the increase in the duty on glass
made by the new law, which serves TO
eoualize the condition Of manufacture here
and abroad"
The Tribune forgets that American
plate-glass corporations were coming
money before the Mckinley iniQuity
was thought Of. The concern at Pitts
burg, for instance, paid dividends Of
s4% per cent, aggregating about
81 ZOO. 900 in 1889. But may be the TTib-

dends.

They were interested in having a legal

to the plaintiff valid assessment. (Smith

the persons to whom the materials were
furnished, are matters of mere inference.
since it does not 7secessdfIly follow that
the owner of the land is the owner of the
building, and the materials might have
been furnished to sub-contractor or
other persons, seems to us to be not even
a plausible argument. So the terms of
the contract, we think, were sufficiently
stated. (See Hills VS.. Ohliz 63 CAL 1O4,
and Jewell VS.. Mckay, 81 Cal. 144.) And
the demand that the plaintiff have the
benefit of the law relating to liens was a
sufficient statement that it claimed a lien
on the described lot of land with the
building thereon.
1t is objected that there is variance be-
tween the contract set out in the COM
plant and that set out in the claim of
lien. We see no material variance. The
contract, as set out in both papers, seems
to be substantially the same.
1t is also objected that the findings of
the court ara insufficient TO support the
Judgment. This is rested upon the tenth
finding, which reads as follows: 'That
on the 18th day of July, 1888, plaintiff, for
the purpose of securing and perfecting
lien for the money so due it as aforesaid
upon the land and premises and building
aforesaid, hereinafter described, pursuant
tothe provisions of Chapter H., Tile w.,
Part III. of the Code OF Civil Procedure of
the State of California, filed for record in
the Office of the Recorder of San Diego

fed in it's behalf by it's manager. S. S.
Johnson, and that said claim Of lien is in
due form. and was filed in due time and is
a valid subsisting claim Of lien under the
liw.f'
We think the finding sufficient.
Lastly, il is said that there IS no judg-
ment against the parties personally liable,
and that such Judgment is necessary to
support the lien. We know of no law or
decision supporting this position. The
case of Phelps VS.. Nc. G. NJ. Co. {49 Cal.

This action was brought for the pur-
pose of forcing, by writ of mandate, the
respondent to pay the appellant, who was
police officer. one Pugh, the amount of
$256, principal, and costs and damages to
the amount of SIS.
This sum of money was claimed under
and by virtue of an Act of the Legislature
approved April 1, 1878. Statutes 1878, p.
1t is asserted that the 50 per month
which the police officer claims to have
paid into the fund held by the Treasurer
was money in which he had vested
right, and that on his discharge he was
entitled to have it returned to him or his
representative.
The petition was demurred to as not
stating facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action; the demurrer was sus-
tanned and the writ dismissed. From
the judgment rendered in the premises
this appeal is taken.
The statute, under which this right is
set up by the plaintiff, has received con-
struction from the appellate court of this
State in Pennie VS.. Refs $50 Cal. 269), and
from the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the same case, on writ of error
4S2 U. S. Rep, p. AID. These cases hold
that police officer, such as the
assignor of the appellant, never
had any claim on the fund involved
here, except upon the happening of GER
tain contingencies, mentioned in the Act
of the Legislature of California, to which
we have just adverted; under which Act
alone could any right have vested in
the plaintiff or his assignor.
The voluminous and argumentative pc
tition filed herein does not, in our opinion,
state such facts as bring the appellant
within any of the contingencies of the
statute which he invokes, and we there

COMPANY, Respondent,
G. A. GARRETTsoN EFT AL,
Appellants.
The plaintiff, a corporation, brought
this action to foreclose lien for materials
furnished for, and used in, the erection of
building on land owned by defendant,
Garrettson.
1t is alleged in the complaint that on
the 18th day of February, 1888, defendant
Garrettson entered into contract with
defendants Wanberg Il Nelson, where
by they agreed to erect and finish for him
a building on certain described piece of
land; that on various occasions between
the odd day of February and the Goth day
of May, 1888, the plaintiff, at the instance
and request of the contractors, furnished
materials, viz: lumber, 1aths, shingles
and windows, to be used and which were
actually used in the erection and con-
structien of the building specified in the
contract; that the market value of the
materials so furnished and the amount
agreed to be paid therefor is the sum of
81 ,ll2 Sc, of which sum $500 has been
paid, and the balance. of ssh Sc is still
due, owing and unpaid to the claimant;
that on the 23d day of February, 1888, the
plaintiff duly gave to Garrettson writ
ten notice that it had agreed to furnish
the materials as aforesaid for the
erection of said building, and there
after there became and was due
and owing from him to the con-
tractors, on account of the contract, an
amount largely in excess of the balance
