The Work on the South Bound Being
Pushed.
The grading of the South Bound railroad
on the south side of the Savannah river, a
distance of thirty-nine miles, is nearly fin
ished, and it is expected that the rails will
be laid and cars win be running to the
bridge by the middle Of next month. The
work on the iron bridge across the river has
been greatly retarded by the continued
freshets, and it is impossible to predict
when the contractor will complete his con-
tract.
In South Carolina, where the work of
construction is being done by Chief En-
gineer Wadley, everything is progressing
rapidly along the entire line from the
Savannah river to Columbia. The South
Bound is, as has been already stated. being
built Ia the best manner, and viii be in
every respect first class railroad.

SPRING VALLEY.
The Supreme Court Grants Mrs
DrinkhOuse a Retrial.

The Supreme Court has reversed the judg-
ment and ordered a new trial of the case of
the Spring Valley Water Works agail g.
Mrs. Drinkhouse 70 condemn certain lands
claimed as part of reservoir site, which is
alleged by the Spring Valley 10 DE neces-
sary for its business in supplying the peo-
pie with water.
Tie Supreme Court ordered a retrial of
the issue as to the value of the land not
taken, and thereupon to enter judgment in
accordance with the prayer of the COM
plant. The case has been under advise
ment since April -, 1890, and involved til G
condemnation of about fourteen acres of
land in San AndIeas Valley, San Mateo
County, for reservoir purposes, by the
Spring Valley Company. The land in
question forms part of what is known as
the Lower Crystal Springs reservoir. The
water company purchased all the available
land in the vicinity for reservoir purposes,
but refused to pay the price asked by Mrs.
Mary Drlnkhouse for her fourteen acres.
\ condemnation suit was commenced and
decided by the lower court in favor of the
company. Mrs. Drinkhouse appealed on
the ground that the law did not give the
company the right to condemn the land for
reservoir purposes. even if the company
should use its supplies to furnish the city
with water. 1t could not, in any crcu
stances, be designated as public use. If
the company wanted to use that land for
reservoir purposes they would have to pay
her her price for 1t.

WING AGAIN FREE.
He Is at Last Acquitted of the
Murder Charge.

Chew Sing Wing, the aged Chinese, who
spent over two years in the County Jail, is
again a free man. On the night of July Is,
1889, Lew Jipg, worthless Mongol and a
member of the Suey Sing Tong. was shot
and mortally wounded. While dying in the
Receiving Hospital, Jing said he did not
know who had shot him. A few days later,
Chew Sing Wing, an eXpressman, who had
always been regarded rs an inoffenSive man,
was pointed out as the murderer and ar
rested.
During the trial in Department 2 of the
Superior Court, half dozen members of the
Suey Sing Tong testified that they had seen
Wing fire the fatal shot. There was other
corroboratiye testimony, and Wing was
found guilty of murder and sentenced by ex-
Judge Shafter to life imprisonment at San
Quentin. An appeal to the Supreme Court
resulted in new trial being granted. A
great mass of testimony for the prosecution
was ruled out, and for that reason. when
the second trial was held in Judge Murphy's
department yesterday, the evidence for the
prosecution was meager.
All that was shown was that Lew Jing
was murdered and that the defendant was
accused of the crime. The horde of greasy-
coated, blood-thirsty highbinders who testi-
fed so glibly during the first trial were con-
spcuous by their absence. They were
afraid to appear for the reason that they
would have been arrested for perjury.
Judge Murphy instructed the jury to acqult
the defendant, saying that no evidence had
been introduced to show that the accused
had killed the deceased.
80 the jury found old Chew Sing Wing
not guilty, and the aged Celestial fairly
danced with joy when informed of the good
news. The next minute he became very
sad, when he remembered that he had not
seen his wife and children for two years aud
a hano n, l.
long Imprisonment and he does not know
Where they are.

DOODLE IN CANADA.

The trifljng circumstance that the Mer-

have impressed the people unfavorably. A
Montreal dis patch says that the new Min

many of those invited called at Mercier's
residence and rendered him an ovation.
The bOodler who is wise enough to divide
rarely falls to command a certain follow
ing. A good many men who find opportu-
mites to make money rapidly and easily do
not question the Government methods which
open these new sources to wealth. But the
boodler who wants it all for himself is apt
to.cOme to grief. 1t Is this class of boOdlers
who have to make frequent trips abroad.
The fact that Mercier is 80 popular in Can
ada indicates an all-rouud liberality which
serves him well in adversely. There is al

HIS MODESTY.

A Californian syndicate scribbler is en-
gagged in the amusing task Of trying to con-
vince the public that NJ II. de Young is
being doomed for The Vice-P esidency on a
ticket headed by James G. Blaine. The
sapient syndieater referred to, after several
s;ckfuls of fulsome comment upon the
salleged fact, says:
But Mr.. de Young is handicapped in his public
career by his modesty. He feels that he is yet
too young for so great station as the Vice.
Presidency, with the chance which the office
ives OF the Presidency Itself. Not until he has
proved his abilities as Senator will he consent
10 aim definitely at the White House. He has
explained In private TO bis friends that he is in
Rowise responsible for the Minneapolis boom
and has no present desire to encourage 1t.
The spectacle of II. II. de Young handi-
capped in any effort by quality so spirit
uelle as his own modesty is truly instruct
i've.
1t is quite true that Mr.. de Young is too
young Tor the Vice Presidency or any other
Office of honor in this country, but even
time cannot help him in this regard. He is
very young, with younguess of that all
pervasiye perennial quality of mature I'M
ripeness that does not disappear beneath
the weight Of added years.

do not remember having seen. for very
long time, so graceful tribute to unpresum-
