AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES AN
IRRIGATION DISTRICT CASE.
The Constitutionality of the Act Author
izing Irrigation Districts Confirmed.
The Points of the Decision.

decision of vast Importance to irri-
CATION districts in various counties of
California was filed with the clerk of the
supreme court at Sacramento on Satur-
dav, says the Chronicle. The decision
is in the matter of the bonds of the
MADEIRA irrigation district OF Fresno
county, and though a reversal of judg-
ment is ordered on the ground OF error
in the lower court proceedings, the con-
stitutionality OF the act authorizing the
erection of irrigation districts is sus-
tanned.
The litigation in the MADEIRA irrigation
district project has awakened wide
spread interest in every part of the state
where irrigation is necessity. A brief
history of the case will be of general in
teresf.
Under the act providing for the
organization and government OF irriga-
ton districts and providing for the ac-
QUESTION of water and other property
and for the distribution of water there
by for irrigation purposes" the board
of supervisors of Fresno county appoint
ed board of directors in 1887 to define
q district under the name of the MADEIRA
irrigation district. This action was
based on petition signed by large
number OF property owners OF that
county, and in February, 1887, the
directors decided to issue bonds to the
amount of $3.50, 900 to raise funds for the
construction of canals, works, etc. In
order to proceed regularly the directors
applied TO the superior court of Fresno
for a confirmation of the act of the
board, thus giving protestants, if any
were present, an opportunity to file
demurrers.
Among the large land owners OF Fresno
county who were opposed to the forma-
ton OF the irrigation district, on the
ground that the assessment upon them
would prove excessive and unjust, were
James b. Haggin and Miller & Lux, the
Vista Vineyard company, George d.
Bliss and the California Pastoral and
Agricultural company. Each of these
persons and corporations filed demurrers
IN court and asked the court to declare
the action OF the supervisors in defining
the irrigation district invalid and OF no
effect.
The demurrers were overruled in the
superior court on July 81, 1889, and,
after hearing, judgment was given on
June 5, 1890, for the MADEIRA irrigation
district. The large property holders
previously specified appealed to the SUI
preme court Immediately, and the de-
cision has for some weeks been looked
for with anxiety.
The details of the decision, which is
by Justice Harrison, will not be known
until it is officially filed at Sacramento
today. Justice Harrison declares, how
ever, that the act authorizing the crea-
ton of irrigation districts is constitu-
tional, but as the lower court erred in
admitting certain records in evidence, a
reversal Is ordered. The opinion com
prises 175 pages of closely typewriter
matter.

Good information comes in from the

at one Of his horses, which was too
poor and thin to work, and almost
beat it to death. He came up to the
camp and got supper, and Dragged OF
what he did, stating that he was going
back to finish the job. The miners
did not like his talk. A couple OF them
went down to where the team was,
and found the horse almost dead, with
one eye knocked out. They organized
a mock court, and sentenced Mr.. Adj

A STORY OF JEwELRY LOST IN THE
QUINCY DISASTER.
The Daughter of a Prominent Citizen Wear
ing Sparklers beyond Her Station Causes
a Sensational Detective Gets Into the
Young Lady's Confidence.

BOSTON, Jan. 31.-An air of mystery
has dropped over Quincy. For weeks past
the residents of that city have been rolling
under their tongues choice morsel of gos-
sip about one of their citizens that vividly
recalls the day OF the Quincy disaster on
the Old Colony Railroad last summer. On
that day it was whispered about that much
jeweIry belonging to passengers on the i'll
fated train was missing. and it was even
stated that some of the jewelry consisted Of
diamonds. From that time on the story
gained widespread circulation, until to-
day it is in evervbody's mouth, not only in
Quincy, but in the neighboring towns.
The story OF the alleged stolen jewelry as
retailed to-day is that since the time of the
accident the daughter of well-known
Quincy man has been seen wearing dia-
monds. The story gains a decidedly
romantic flavor, as it goes on to state that a
young and good-looking private detective
hired by the railroad, had been living in
Quincy near to the home of the young lady
and that he deliberately formed the young
lady's acquaintance for the purpose of
making an investigation.
He escorted her to various entertainments,
so the rumor had it, and finally he invited
her to ball in Boston. The detective was
said to have finally succeeded in getting into
his hand ring, inside of which be found
marked the letter F. As these alleged
stolen diamonds were said to have been the
property of the Fenley family of Louisville,
nearly all of whom lost their lives, the
marked letter was sufficient evidence to con-
firm the detectives suspicious, and he forced
surrender of the jewels.
1t would be unfair to mention the names
of the parties at whom the gossip is directed,
as the rumor that the father of the young
lady is under bonds is denied by the Dis
trlct Attorney.

A Western Citizen Thinks He Encounters

At the Fifth Avenue Hotel the other day
party Of gentlemen were talking about
their experiences with confidence men, when
Colonel c. A. Broadwater, the Montana
millionaire, remarked with laugh that he
had tried for years to meet one, and that
when he thought he had succeeded, found
be was fooled, says the New York Press. He
told his experience, which was ludIcrous. He
looks enough like James G.. Breslin, of the
Gilsey House, to be Breslin's brother. When
he lets his goatee grow to the same length as
Breslin's their facial expressions become so
much alike that they might be mistaken for
twins. Colonel Broadwater was sitting in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel one day, several years
ago, when a half seedy, half respectable
stranger with a bad breath dropped down
alongside Of him and addressed him in this
familiar manner:
"Hello, Jim; how are you? It's a fine
day, isn't it? When are you coming up the
river again?"
The Colonel had often read of confidence
men approaching their victims in this man
ner to get them to tell their names and
then report to a confederate, and he had
been wishing for years that a confidence
man would tackle him, so he might see the
operation for himself He thought his time
had come and he replied cautiously, expect
ing every minute that he would be asked
his name in one way or another, Finally
the conversation turned to q point where
this encounter took place:
"Well, L say, Breslin, that was -"
II beg your pardon, but my name is not
Breslin-it's Broadwater."
The stranger slowed around until he
looked the Colonel square in the face and
shouted out:
"Why, SO it is, and mistook you for
Jim Breslln. Why, Broad. don't you re-
member me, Jim Mabbitt?"
The Colonel concluded his experience as
follows: "And hang me if it wasn't Jim
Mabbitt, who used to be in the diggings IN
Montana with me in the early days, and he
had made clear case of mistaken identity.
Mabbitt was in the hotel business in
Poughkeepsie then, but has since died,
am told" "

WASHINGTON, Jan. T.-Though some
months have elapsed since any public stir
was made in regard to the great Protestant
University initiated by leading divines OF
the Methodist Church, to be built in this
city as counter educational opportunity to
the new Catholic University, the work of
raising money to pay for the site has been
going steadily on. The project is meeting
with cordial reception in all quarters, and
under the enthusiastic management of
Bishop Hurst is growing daily in the direc-
tion of successful accomplishment 1t is
understood that the fund of $50, 900 for the
payment Of the site at Wesley Heights is
within few thousand dollars oil compile
tion.
Raising the money for the erection of the
extensive buildings and for the endowment
of the university will be the next work of
the managers of the great undertaking. It
is believed by those who are in position to
know that ample funds will be forthcoming
for this purpose in due time. The enter
prise is moving forward in business way
and is enlisting the capital and cordial COM
mendation of educators and moneyed men
in various parts of the country, and GER
tainly not many years will pass before the
Methodist University at the National Cap
ital is a solid reality.
The Georgetown and Tenleytown Electric
Railroad now passes the site of the univer-
sity, and prominent and wealthy gentlemen
connected with church circles are investing
in surrounding property and erecting resi-
denees for themselves and for sale. C. c.

about to erect a country residence there,
which will cost upward Of $25, o0O and a

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The West End is
slander, involving persons very we'll known
at the Turf Club and on the turf. The mat
ter arises out of an incident which occurred
at the time of the last Doncaster meeting.
Mrs. Arthur Wilson, of Grosvenor square,
the wife OF the well-known millionaire, had
offered her house near Doncaster to The
Prince of Wales for race week, His Royal
Highness, of course, inviting the party who
were to occupy it. Among the guests was
Sir William Gordon Cumming, whose en-
gagement to the second daughter of the late
William Gardner, of New York, has re-
Gently been announced, and who is a par
ticular friend of the Prince and of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill.
The company at Mrs. Wilson's amused
themselves in the evening after the races with
baccarat. Some question arising as to whether
certain bets had or had not been made,
one gentleman present got the impression
that Sir Gordon Cummings bets were not
made as plainly as they should have been.
The Prince, who is very sensitive on all
such subjects, insisted that this should be
inquired into. An investigation was ac-
cordinglv made, and Lord Coventry and
Owen Williams are said TO have decided
tory that the best and kindest thing that
could be done would be to drop the whole
business into Oblivion on Sir William Cor
don Cumming promising the Prince that he
would have nothing more to do with playing
cards.
Mrs. Wilson's party broke up earlier than
was expected, the Prince OF Wales going
over to spend the end OF the week with his
son, Prince Edward, at York. This gave
rise to mach tittle-tattle, and sundry ladies
chose to attribute the fiasco OF Mrs. Wilson's
party 10 some personal dissatisfaction on the
part of His Royal Highness with the pres
ence there of one or another particular
ladv.
This by degrees has led to all manner of
imputations and charges in connection with
haccarst and Mrs Wilson's party and the
Turf Club, and it is now understood that
Sir Gordon Cumming is determined to bring
the whole business before the law courts in
the form of suit for SANDER as it is now
stated that he intends to present as defend
ants his friends, Owen Williams and Lord

TRAVEL IN RUSSIA.

Why Round Trip Railroad Tickets Are
Never Sold There.
There was a meeting of representative
railroad men and steamship managers in St.
Petersburg to discuss the feasibility of in.
Producing ''round trip" tickets in the
interior of Russia, says an Eastern exchange.
Such tickets would be of great benefit to
those who have business in the Volga dis
trict and make short trips from ore city to
another by the steamers on that river, and
also to excursionists along the railroad lines.
But this measure is discountenanced by the
police authorities.
AT present there is an officer stationed by
every ticket Office who may examine the
passports Of the travellers, without whose
permission no ticket can be sold. But, if
round trip tickets should be issued, the
holder OF a return ticket to anv place may
sell 1T to another person, and the police
would be unable to keep its eye on the
travelling public.
