BLYTHE'S MONEY.

Adverse to Florence.

The Supreme Court Renders a Decision
Adverse to Florence.
Under Judge Coffey's decision that Flor
ence Blythe is the lawful heir to the millions
OF the late Thomas Ii. Blythe she was allowed
$500 per month for expenses. The syndi-
cate of claimants appealed from the decision
awarding this amount for expenses pending
the disposition of the property In deciding
the appeal the judgment was reversed, ami
the court said:
We tbInk that the question here presented
Chat the appeal OF the Williams claimants from
the decision declaring Florence Blythe the right
ful heir OF Thomas II. Bly, lie was. in Itself, "a
stay OF all proceedings Ia The case was definitely
settled In favor Of Tie petitioners contention by
lie decision OF the court Ia the estate OF Schedel
(69 Cal, PAD We see no sound distinction be-
tween the case cited ana the one al bar. Such a
distinction is commended for by respondent on the
ground that the policy Of the law puts an order
for q family allowance" on different footing
from any otner order which gives property OF the
estate one litgan against the claims OF others
but the alleged distinction Is not dIscernIble.
The main point OF litigation seems TO have been
whether there was any family. The main fact
upon which the Schedel case was decided Is
Identical with tile case at bar, namely: That IN
neither case was the appellant required to per
form the directions OF the judgment OF order APP
pealed from. The general rule, as declared In
Section 949, Is that the $500 undertaking men

Another Increase in Coast Pas.
senger Rates.

The next California rate-sheet from the
Transcontinental Association. which will
be issued about the 18th inst, will quote
heavy increase in passenger rates between
California and Missouri River points. ms
advance will amount to So on second-class
tickets and $40 on the thirty days limited
tickets, making the second-class rate De-
tween California and Missouri River Sl0
and advancing the thirty-day limited from
$50 to so. The regular limited and I'M
limited tickets will not be effected by this
months rate-sheet, but will probably re-
ceiYe the attention of the TranScontlnentaI
Association later on, for while the tendency
among the Western railroads toward gen.
eral Increase in rates on California business
is gradual, 1t is nevertheless dppreclaOle
and sure to be widely felt within TIE next
SIX or eight months.
Some time ago the transcOntinental INES
concluded that Pacific Coast business was
being handled at a very low figure, and set
themselves to the task Of inStltuung re-
form. As result TIE issue for April OF the
California rate-Sneet showed an increase
In unlimited tickets to the amount OF local
rates. This month the secOGd-class rates
are advanced for the first time in seven
years, and in pursuance Of the avowed pol
icy of the lines interested it is talr TO pre-

K0WALSKY FAINTS.
The Stout Attorney Collapses in COfey's


The Stout Attorney COllapses in COffey's
COURTROOM.
Attorney KowalSky, counsel for the con-
testantS in the Dana will case, enlivened
the proceedings in Judge Coffey' courtroom
yesterday by fainting. He was questioning
Mrs. Harris in rebuttal, and appeared to be
somewhat excited. Suddenly he turned
from the witness and addressed the Judge,
saying that he telt faint, and then sank into
a chair. The court at once adjourned. and
the ex-Colonel. who had somewhat revived,
was taken to his hotel. 1t was rumored
about the City Hall that he had been
stricken with apOpleXy, but there was no
foundation for this report.
Little of Importance was revealed in the
questioning of witnesses for rebuttal in the
case. Files of the daily papers were pro-
duced as evidence that no notice of the de-
ceased musicians death appeared on Janu-
arv p, 1888.
Mrs Anna NJ. Harris testified that she
heard W. L. Cummins state that if he said
in court in February, 1885, that ne doubted
the genuinenesS of the alleged will, it
would have been said that he was pIqued
because the property had not been left TO
mem beers of his family.

for Him.
AS an Illustration OF confidence in his fell
bowman the winner Of the One-tWentieth
part of the grand prize in the Louisiana State
Lottery drawing of March 18th may well be
cited. The old gentleman has been for
many years in the employ Of the Alaska
Commercial Company, travelling between
this city and that northern possession of the
United States in one of the cOmpany's steam
ers. During a recent visit the gentleman re-
ferred to tried his luck" as he called it,
and as he had done often before. Just prior
to sailing the reSutOf the drawing Of March
II, 1891, was made known. and the capital
prize was won by No. 16 9jS. The old gentle
man was OVeTjOyed when he produced his
coupon bearing the same number The news
went around the cOmpanys offices in no
time, but it got no further. as he particu-
larry requested that 1t should not be made
known. a young man in the company's
employ was intrusted with getting the cOu-
pom cashed. b. ArnhOld is the gentleman in
whom so much confidence was repOsed. He
took the coupon to Wells, Fargo Il Co. s
Bank, asking that the company draw on
New Orleans for the amount
This was done, End a few days ago the
money was paid 10 Mr.. Arnh0ld, who forth
with deposited the $4,000 in another bank
to the credit of the real winner. These facts
were recited by one of the partners in the
Alaska Commercial Company. and no higher
evidence of their accuracy could he asked.
Just what the winner intends doing with
his winnings no one knows. He has not
even been apprised that the money is all
safe in the bank for him. The gentleman
referred to as Offering the information said
that the winner is one Of tie most deserving
men in the cOmpanY's employ. and to no
one could the happy windfall occur and the
announcement of it give more general pleas
ure.
California contained another lucky indi-
Yidual at the same drawing, for he also went
to Wells, Fargo 81 Co. and eashed his cou-
pom through them: He succeeded, however,
in very effectually concealng his identity,
as all efforts to discover his name or where
about have proved quite unavailing. All
that could be learned is that he is hard
working mechanic living in the Missions.
