A TAMALE-MAN IN COURT.
He Used Postal-Cards to Defame His
rIotIler-in-Law.

lie OSSO fOSIdf-AdEuS 10 DCiaI0e Ills
10tEer-in-Law.
James r. Swoffor1, alias James NJ VIII
liams, tamale merchant of 8 Hnckley
alley, was arrested yesterday on a warrant
issued by Commissioner Sawyer of the Cir-
cult Court for an illegal use of the mails.
For some time past the Postoffice authori-
ties have been on the alert to discover the
sender Of dozens of postalcards to r. NJ.
Miller, Gaven place.
1t was not until to-day that they were
able to find the offender in j. r. Swofford
The character of the contents of these
cards was in the highest manner defamatory
to the character of Mr.. Miler's wife, who
was mono other than the mother-in-law of
the libelist.
He claims to have communicated with the
burgomaster of Mrs. Mller's native town in
Germany, and go discovered the bad record
of his mOther-in-law.
AS il uncertain Of the number of bis
father-in-law's house at Gaven place, Swof-
ford had addressed his postals to score or
two of people in that neighborhood. to ac-
complish incidentally the wider publication
Of bis parents conduct.
As matter OF fact Miller has been living
In Alameda for some time past, and this
fact would appear not to have escaped the
attention of Swofford
He was very anxious to keep his father
in-law well informed upon the erring course
Of the wife and begs In each postal-card
that his new address be Immediately sent to
Swofford, that no beautiful developments
may PASS unnoted.
The authorities believe Miller owed Swof-
ford money and that the latter adopted this
course 10 recover his debt.
The offense Is direct violation OF an act
OF Congress OF June Is. 1888. amendatory to
the Revised.Statutes. which declares that no
obscene or defamatory language can pass
through the nails on postaLcard
II Swofford had paid a few cents more
aud used letters the law could not have
touched him.
As it Is he has incurred penalty not to
exceed $4,000 fine or five years Imprisonment
at hard labor or both.
His bond was fixed at $1,000.

Everything Indicates Its Speedy APP

Reports from Europe which are appearing IN the
papers show that the grip has broken out in most
violent form In England, and the indications ar
that Is commencing its fourth annual tour of the
world. The physicians here In America report
many people suffering from symptoms which iudi-

there may not as yet be epidemic. there are
enough cases and enough serious cases to demand
the greatest care and caution. The proverb. an

valuable sayings ever uttered. The grip, with all
It's unpleasantness with all Its seriousness with all
Its danger can be prevented II taken In time If
people properly prepare for it.
There is but one way to prepare for the coming

is A RAFT A SHIP?
Justice Britain Decides That 1t Is Not,
Legally.

S6ohys
William Patterson, who is working a
mining claim for gold on the beach, near the
Ocean House, saw some portion of the great
Fort Bragg raft of logs floating by on June
last.
He got some wire and. wading out. Sc
cured two logs, which were of valuable
redwood.
He claimed the chains by which the logs
were fastened together, but the Fort Bragg
Redwood Company took them away under
protest.
So Patterson brought suit for the CONVEX
sion by the defendants Of the chains, valued
at $40.
He claimed that under section 2405 OF the
Political Code he was entitled to lien for
expenses. the section reading: PARTIES hav-
ing just claims for salvage can claim ex-
pfnses."
The court. in considering the question,
quoted section 2079 Of the Civil Code, which
provides that ANY person who rescues a
ship or appurtenanees Is entitled to rsa-
sonable compensation therefor, and he has
lien for such claim"
Then came the question, Was raft
ship?
Judge Britain pointed out that section
$50 of the Civil Code defines a ship as "a
structure adapted to navigation from
place 10 place for the transportation OF
merchandise and persons"
The court therefore held that log raft,
being necessarily a temporary structure,
was not ship, which it must be to entitie
the plaintiff 10 lien. but that whether the
plaintiff could recover reward as a finder
of lost property was not involved In the
case.
Patterson will appeal.

ment. then sat down and ordered glass Of
milk. which was served. and a check for 10
cents was given him. Going to the counter
he presented the lucent check and five-
dollar gold coin. As he did so two OF the
stewards also approached tho desk aud
stood near him.
The cashier slid the coin into the drawer
and passed out 81 IS in change. The hand
some epicurean politely called attention to
the shortage OF SO 10 in the change. The
cashier said
You neglected to deliver the other check,
which Is for that amount.
Now CO." commanded one of the stew
ards. Both stewards seized the customer
and thrust him out OF doors with violence
that sent him staggering across the side
into the gutter and departed without any
resistance or remonstrance.
The cashier said that he had been watch
ing the fraud for several days.

An Expensive Sewer.

Two adjacent lots on Jones street were
formerly owned by Thomas Magee. who
permitted them to be drained by means of
a sewer running across them.
Magee sold the lots. one to NJ. B. Jones
and the other to Z. L. Sanders
The latter tore up portion OF the sewer
in improving his lot. thereby precluding
Jones from draining his property.
Jones therefore brought suit against San
ders, aud the case has been dragging in the
courts FOR years. Judge Hoge in 1889 found
for the defendant, but died while motion
for new trial was pending.
Yesterday Judge Sanders0n granted a
nav trial.

There was big crowd Of politicians and
witnesses in Department OF the Police
Court yesterday morning, when the cases Of
Registrar Brown and Deputy Ray Falk,
charged by C. G. O'Donneil with falsifying
sem-official election returns. were again
called. Judge Love said he was not pre-
pared to decide the point raised as to
whether or not semi-officaI returns were
public records. He desired to consult more
authorities and for that reason continued
the cases until tomorrow afternoon.

The Bimetallic Conference.

Mr.. GLADSTONE will not, as consequence
Of his return to power, substitute other
delegates to the Dresden conference for
those appointed by bis predecessor. 1t is
considered in England matter with
which political parties as political parties
ought to have nothing TO do. As has been
stated heretofore, the British delegates will
be Sir CHARLES FREExAsTLg. Deputy Mas
ter of tho Mint; Sir WILLIAM HoULDswoRTH,
Lancashire manufacturer and we'll
known bimetsllist, and MIR. BTRTBAM CUR
RTE, partner in the well-known banking firm
of GLYS, Mills, CURRIx & Co., one of the
sblest bankers in London. and member
of the India Council. Mr.. CURBIE is mo-
nometallist.
The British delegates are thus bimetal-
list, monometalllst. and an expert from
the mint. 1t is said. however, that the
feeling In England IL so strong against the
free coinage Of silver, OF any silver legisis-
ton in that direction, that there is no rea-
son TO hope that the wishes of the bimetal-
list delegates will be carried out or even
recommended TO favorable consideration
in or by the Dresden conference. We
deeply regret the poor prospect which sill
yer has. The international bimetallic con-
ference could easily make recommends
tons that would result in the tull relnone-
tizatlon OF silver. The United States
legislation once ran up the price OF silver
nearly to par with gold. Why should not

England, Austria, and the other countries
which will participate IN the Dresden con-
ference Join hands and so place oliver and
gold as that there will be in effect no DIFF
ference in value between the two metals
in any commercial country in the world !?
But so 1t is. There seems to be no good
reason to hope for any decided measures
from the Dresden conference. The finan-
ciers of those countries We have named
know it ALL" Nevertheless, the confer
ence may stumble upon some recon-
mendatlon worthy of universal adoption.
In this hope we still turn our eyes towards
