GRAND JURY WORK.
The Cruel Murder of Robert Allen
Being Looked Into.
Probability Of Several Indictments
Witnesses in the 'sWaste-Basket''
ScandaI-Etc.

The Grand Jury was in session again
yesterday, and disposed of considerable
business.
In the forenoon the investigators looked
into the charges ofembezzlement brought
by t. a. Lauder against a young man
named Wasson, who lives near Florin.
The trouble is over buggy.
In the afternoon the Grand Jury took
up the matter of Robert Aliens murder
by footpads. A number of witnesses
were examined, including the District
Attorney, David Falconer, the wife and
daughter Of the deceased, and John Nc
Caig, alias "Casey." The latter is the
young man who made the first confession
to the officers, and upon whose informa-
ton DiVe-keeper Smith, and Aliens bar
keeper, Furlong, were arrested. Harry
Gordon, the young thug who with the
missing Haley, struck poor Allen down
with blacksmith's hammer, and then
robbed him, is at present in the County
Jail, having been brought down several
days ago to be examined by the Grand
jury. 1t will be remembered that prior
to Aliens death, Gordon also made con-
fesslon, and pleaded guilty TO the charge
Of robbery preferred against him.
1t is probable that Gordon, Smith, Fur
long and Haley will be indicted for muir
der.
The Grand Jury did not conclude its
Investigation OF the case, but probably
viii to-day.
Preparations are being made to send
out subpenaes for witnesses whose testi-
mony is wanted in the waste basket
scandal. There will be a large number Of
them, and the investigation will probably
consume considerable time. The investi
CATION will not be taken up until some
time next week.
In the meantime the Grand Jury takes
advantage of every opportunity to visit
between the various Investigations the
various county offices, as well as city in
stItutious, and examine into the methods
of conducting business thnrn

Judge Cravens gave the boys talking

Assessor does not require it's payment
The language of the sections quoted is
clear and indicates an intention that de-
mand shall be first made on the person
sought to be charged with the tax be-
fore liability attaches, or a penalty is in
CURED, for its non-payment.
DID NOT BIND HIM.
"Upon the third point am of opinion
that the garnishment or notice served
upon defendant neither bound him nor
the corporation. It certainly did not
bind him Individually, for he was not in
debeted to Newton. 1t did not bind the
corporation for the reason that the de-
tendant was not such an officer of the
corporation, that notice or garnishment
served on him would be taken in law to
be service upon it. At common law
service OF process on corporation must
be made on the President or
principal officer. Defendant was not the
President or the head of the corporation,
nor one Of its principal officers or manag-
ing agents. The Master Mechanic of the
corporation, the Chief Clerk, the Division
superintendent are all agents, in the or
dinary sense of the word, of the corpora
ton, yet | do not think they are princi-
pal officers or managing agents of the cor
poratiOn, so that d summons, garniSh-
ment under writ Of attachment or other
process served upon them would be held
TO be service on the corporation.
''As is said by our Supreme Court in
Kennedy VS.. Hibernia $. and l.. Society,
80 Cal, l5I: Corporations usually have
numerous agents for the different depart
ments of their business. An insurance
company may have, besides its chief Off
GERS, numerous soliciting agents in yari-
Gus portions of the State, and, in one sense,
every superintendent or conductor on a
railroad is the agent Of the company, and
every master ,or clerk of a steam
boat is, to a certain extent, the agent Of
the owner. And yet. it would be scarcely
claimed that an insurance company
would be bound by garnishlnent served
on one Of its travelling agents, or rail-
road company by a service on its con-
ductor, or a navigation company by a
service on the master, clerk or mate of
one of its boats. Such a practice would
lead to the
MOST PERPLEXING
Results The provisions of the Political
Code referring to the service Of the notice
or garnishment by the Assessor upon a
third person are silent upon the method
OF service where the garnishee is cor
pOration. / conclude, however, that under
the common law rule, and by analogy to
the provisions Of the Code OF Civil Pro-
cedure providing for service of summons
and garnishments in attachment proceed
ings upon corporations, that the notice in
this ease should have been served to bind
the corporation, upon its President, Sec
retary, Cashier, or other managing agent.
Judgment will be entered in favor of
plaintiff for the return and delivery of
the property sued for, or for SO 80, its
value. in case a delivery thereof cannot
be had, and costs of suit to be taxed"

A Wonderful Shoe Shaped Violin.

The Paris Figaro announces the sale
of one of the most curious viollns known
to the music fanciers of the world. 1t is
now ON exhibition in Paris, where the
American tourist can take a peep at it
for few centimes. 1t formerly be-
longed to Paganini, the great violinist,
and at first sight merely presents the
appearance of a misshapen wooden shoe.
Its history is curious. During the win
ter Of 1888 Paganini was living in a
maison de sante called Les Neothermes,
48 Rue de la Victoria. One day large
box was brought here by the Normandy
diligence, on opening which he found
Enclosed two inner boxes, and, wrapped
carefully in several folds of tissue paper,
a wooden shoe and letter stating that
the writer, having heard much of the
wonderful genius of the violinist,
begged, as a proof of his devotion to
music, that Paganini would play in pub
lie on the oddly constructed instrument
inclosed.
At first Paganini felt this to be an i'm
pertinent satire, and mentioned the
facts, with some show Of temper. to his
friend, the Chevalier de Baride. The
latter took the shoe to violinmakcr,
who converted it into remarkably
sweet toned instrument. Pagauini was
pressed to try the shoe violin in public.
He not only did so, but performed upon
it some of his most difficult fantasias,
which facts, in the handwriting Of the
violinist, are now to be seen on the curl
Gus violin.

One enterprising youth made the phe-
nomenal record of knocking down" S25
q day while in charge of construction
train, which, it need hardly be said, is
never supposed to carry passengers.
Under the rigid rules of the average
auditing department it is doubtful
whether money turned in from such Il
source would be accepted by the presid-
ing Solons.
But the carrying of passengers fell
under the eye Of the construction de-
partment and q dismissal followed. Dis
charged for this violation of rules, our
promising tinancier re-entered the ser
vice on another division of the road,
where his industry and patience were
rewarded in time with passenger
train. 1t would appear that he stood
better in the confidence of his superiors
than in that of his fellow conductors,
the more cynical of whom expressed
doubts about the company's ever getting
the train back after he had left town
with it.-Frank H. Spearman in Har-
Der'S Weekly.

MEMORY.

Out through the trees you rode that day,
To keep the tryst that our hearts bad made;
Or was it u chance that went that way,
And met you there in the shade?
Along the lane with no break of sky,
Together we measured our horses pace,
And the shadows came through the branches
high
Over your downcast face.
Was it true what you told me then, sweetheart
In the golden glow of the days thas passed,
Was it false what you said when twas time to
From a dream too sweet to last'
Tonight you sit in the candles glare
And greet the man that they say you'll wed;
Is there no thought Of the summer thera
Or the old, old love long dead!
Tho violin's playing that old love tune
Makes me think OF the past again,
The tender words in my fancy Groom
And see you now-as then,
When out through the trees you rode that day,
To keep the tryst that our hearts had made;
Or was it a chance that went that way.
And met you there in the shade!

A Storm Wave,

A great storm wave is peculiar to cy-
clones. Atthe center of the disturbance
the mercury in good barometer may
be lower by three inches than that in a
similar instrument on the verge of the
cyclone. This is owing to the diminution
of atmospheric pressure consequent on
the rotation of the air wheel; and as
nature abhors a vacuum, the sea in the
vortex rises above its usual level until
equilibrium is restored. This storm
wave advances with the hurricane, and
rolls in upon the low land like q solid
wall. In the Backergunge cyclone of
1876 the storm wave covered the land at
the eastern end of the Ganges delta at
heights varying from ten to forty-fve
feet, as measured by marks on the trees.
One hundred thousand lives We're lost on
this occasion.-Chambers' Journal.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING, April %.

The ruling prices in the wholesale market, with
the exception of flour and gram, have not changed
materially from last weeks quotations. Dealers
report good supply Of general merchandise, with
fair trade. The flour market is very firm, and
an advance Of 15@25c per Dbl on all brands will
be noticed. The demand for flour for the past
week has been active, but the higher prices asked
by millers have served to restrict business, ana
tue advance has made the market very unsettled.
The higher prices are due to the scarcity and
high price of wheat In the grain market corn
and corn products, and oats are 3a5c per bush
higher. In Provisions pork is firm and unchanged;
beef is firm and little higher; lard has advanced
