SAN Francisco, Oct. 8.-Edgar B.
Raymond, who was convicted of con-
tempt OF court by Judge Wallace and
sentenced to fine and imprisonment for
refusing to answer a summons of the
grand Jury, appeared before the supreme
court today on writ of habeas corpus.
Creed Raymond, his uncle, filed an APP
plication for writ of prohibition to
prohibit Judge Wallace from enforcing
the sentence. District Attorney Barnes
objected to the taking of any evidence
regarding the legality of the grand jury,
on the ground that the petitioner had
not been indicted, and that only indicted
persons had power to challenge the
validity of that body, and Attorney
General Hart supported this opinion.
The court took recess for deliberation.
The court finally decided to admit the
evidence. A dispute occurred as to this
evidence, and it was agreed to stipulate
that the facts as set forth in the attor-
ney-general's application last Friday be
offered. Edgar B. Raymond, the petit
toner, then gave his reasons for believ-
ing the grand jury is illegal. He simply
contended that the appointment of an
elisor was illegal.
Attorney Raymond asked for writ
of prohibition to prevent Stephen I:
Gage from being fined and imprisoned
for contempt tomorrow. The court took
the matter under advisement. Chief
Justice Beatty said it was doubtful if a
decision could be given before the court
reaches Los Angeles.

MASKELL MISSING.
He Left Home on Sunday and Has Since
Not Been Heard From.

He Left Home on Sunday and Has Since
Not Been Heard From.
John Maskell, an old and well-known
resident of this city, left his home last
Sunday, and has not since returned.
Mr.. Maskell is about 55 years of age,
about feet 10 in height, and ITO to 175
pounds in weight. He is very chunky,
round built and we'll preserved for his
age. The family of Mr.. Maskell are in
great distress, and fear that something
serious has happened to him.
John Osborne, a friend of the family,
is at loss to account for the disappear
ance of Maskell. He Says that the Miss
iEg man is very temperate. He has
been in business in Los Angeles eleven
years. Recently he ran the grocery
store at the corner of Main and Thir-
tieth streets. Maskell was personal
friend of John Rosenfeld, of San Fran
cisco, the millionaire coal man, and was
at one time connected with him in the
coal business. He owned property in
this county to the extent of $4,000,
which was encountered for less than
81 900, therefore it is not thought that
he has committed any rash act. His
circumstances were good and his domes-
tic relations were known to be very
happy.
He was last seen at the Arcade depot
at 1890 pm. on Sunday, where he went
to meet Capt. John Birmingham, of
San Francisco, since which time there
is absolutely no trace of the missing
man. AS far as can be learned the miss
ing man made no attempt to dispose of
his property. Maskell never left home
before and his family apprehend that he
has met with foul play.

Williams made a special report to the
Secretary of the Treasury in regard to
the allegation that this government vio-

Commercial company to catch seals in
excess OF the limit. The report shows
that nearly 5000 seals were taken by
the company in the season, but since
the date of the agreement, the catch
has been less than 1000. The amount
allowed to be caught by the agreement
was only 800.

CONTRACTORS OPINIONS.
A Way to Secure a Guarantee on
Street Paving.

Street Paving.
The method for securing a guarantee
for the faithful performance of street
paving contracts, as proposed by Coun-
Gilman Tufts at the last session, has
been talked about a great deal within
the last few days. Mr.. Tufts's PROPOSE
ton was to demand from street paving
contractors a deposit of 10 per cent. of
the cost of paving with the city treas
urer, to guarantee that the street would
be kept in repairs for five years. That
some effort should be made to secure
such result is certain, as any one using
the streets can testify.
Several contractors have been inter-
viewed by the HERALD on the subject,
and the general impression seems to be
that the method proposed by Mr.. Tufts
would not be effective. Thus, Mr.. John
H. Drain, manager of the Bituminous
Lime Rock Paving company, said :
"The guarantee system proposed
by Mr.. Tufts cannot possibly
achieve the result aimed at.
OF course such condition must be add
ed to the specifications, and the adver-
tisements for bids. The contractors will
simply consider it, and will uniformly
add 10 per cent. to their bids. They
will do it, and in the end the matter
will simply amount to this, that the
people themselves furnish the guaran-
tee, and that the contractor is not at
all held by it. AS long as present
methods are in vogue, the whole bust
ness is an imposition on the contractor,
if they bind him to keep streets in re-
pair. The reason is obvious. All sorts
OF causes necessitate the tearing up of
pavements, water, gas, sewer, electric
conduits.
Mr.. Charles +. Munson, of the Por-
phyry Paving company, has practically
the same ideas. He suggests, however,
method of guarantee which he consid-
ers holding one. He said: ''The only
way to secure proper repairs is to sepa-
rate the building of street from the
contract to keep it in repair. Let the
contract of paving be fulfilled to the
letter under careful inspection. Let the
street be completed. examined and ac-
cepted. Then advertise for bids to keep
it in repair for term of years, and COM
pei the one making the repair-contract
to furnish bonds in the persons of re-
sponsible realty owners of the city.

THE YELLOWs.
Hortic ulturists Warned Against tn
Peach Tree Disease.

ii critic ultur1et6 warned Against tDo
Peach Tree Disease.
SAN Francisco, Oct. S.--Seeretafy Le-
long, of the state board OF agriculture,
has issued report treating on the dis
ease known as the 'yellows," which has
attacked the peach trees of the eastern
states,- urging upon fruit growers the
recommendation of the board that pur-
chasers of peach stock examine all roots
and trees imported, and that all horti-
cultural commissioners quarantine their
districts against importations. A map
accompanying the report shows that the
disease now prevails from Massachusetts,
to Virginia, and westward to the great
lakes and the Mississippi, and is threat
ening everywhere the destruction of the
peach industry.
