Eihla Iecinras.

One i'm Bishop Nichols Series of Lenten
Bible Lectures.
There was very good attendance at Grace
Church Wednesday night, on the occasion of
the second in the series of Wednesday
lenten Bible lectures delivered by Right
Rev. Bishop Nichols The subjects are
taken from the Book of Joel. that of last
evening being "a Study of His Prophe-
cies."
In opening his theme the Bishop said
that there are three distinct prophecies in
the three books of Joel-frst, of the lccusts /;
second, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and
thrd, the prophecy Of the day of judgment.
While each is distinct and complete in it
sell, they are interviewer in the poetic style
OF the ancient Jewish prophets. All through
the Bible GOD plainly tells his people that
he will reward the righteous.and punish the
wicked, and all history bears witness to the
power of this warning. In the Old Tesla
not individual, but collective; nation suf-
fering for national sin, while individual
chastlsemeDt was often uDacc0mpanied by
personal wr0ng-doing.
The right reverend gentleman then gave o
critical analysis of the passages. which he
explained by verses, applying them to our
modern conceptions of right and wrong.
personal conservation and for greater free
Gom from worldiness and PRIDE The rev.
erberatiOns of the last nineteen centuries,
he said, showed the fearful sinfuness of
sin, and the records were full of Gods judg-
ments upon those who violated his conf
mands.
Next Wednesday evening the Bishop will
deliver his third lecture in Grace Church,
the subject being The Release from the
Plague Of Locusts."

ferred one month. The Mayor, Drs David
son and LIE Tourneux all said they had been
out to examine the places and found that
one OF them was as clean and healthy as
any establishment could be. They did not
see how it was possible to condemn it as a

other two, but it would be delicate task to
condemn one and not all.
Tie complaint of Engineer Monaghan
that he had been discharged from the Aims
house by Superintendent Weaver unjustly
was dropped. Mayor Sanderson said he had
looked into the matter and found that the
man had left because he could not run the
place to suit himself. His place had been

cause of increased needs and greatly i'm
proved appliances for sanitary drainage.

constructed bill, requiring plumbers to reg
iSter their names and address and to pass
satisfactory practical examination at the
Health Office, and to comply with regula-
tons of the board in reference to the drain
age of buildings.
Another set of rules prepared by the
master plumbers and jOurneymen plumbers
was also submitted, and both will be re-
ferred to the Board Of Supervisors for adop-
ton.

IN CASEBOLT'S FAVOR.

Deeds to a Fifty yara AnnuIled by a
Jnry's Findings.
The case of Henry Casebolt against WILL
lam F. Lewis, which has been on trial for
two weeks before a jury in Judge Hunt de-
partment of the Superior Court, was term
mated yesterday by the jury's findings on
issues submitted to it.
The suit involved the validity of certain
deeds to a 50-vara lot on Laguna and Fibert
streets, it being commended that Lewis had
fraudulently procured them from Casebolt,
the latter believing at the time he signed
them that he was executing lease. The
principal witnesses in the case were experts
Piper and Hyde, who testified as to the genu-
ineness of an alleged copy of the disputed
instruments, and of certain receipts also
offered in evidence.
The jury found for the plaintiff in the
negative on four of the issues and in the
Affirmative on the other two. namely: did
the plaintiff sign and acknowledge the deed,
believing that he was signing and acknowl-
eding lease?" and WAS that belief in
duced by the fraud of the defendant?"
The verdict practically declares that Lewis
forged the old mans name to the lease and
