THE LAST GUESS COURT,
Several Decisions From 1t Yes
terday.
The Rapid Transit Company Wins a
Case.
A RAILROAD Case Decided-A Matter of
Alimony settled-ReA1 Estate.
Other Court News
and Notes.

Clerk Ashmore, of the supreme court
received the following decisions of the
supreme court in local cases yesterday !:
d. Amestoy, appellant, vs. Electric
Rapid Transit Co., respondent.
This appeal is from a judgment en-
tered upon demurrer. From complaint
it appears plaintiff, city of Los Angeles,
owns lot in Los Angeles street fronting
SO feet. In 1886, city granted franchise
for street railroad extending through
Los Angeles and other streets. The
road was only partly constructed and Of
course was operated only for portion
of the distance for which the franchise
was granted. The franchise was granted
upon consideration.
that the grantees would have to keep in
repair the street between tracks and for
two feet on each side, the same to be
paved whenever ordered paved by the
city council, or when the street was
paved by owners of frontage. The street
was ordered paved, and the company
did not comply with it, and the council
declared their franchise forfeited. The
decision of the lower court was against
Amestoy, and the decision of the lower
court is affirmed.
Delos M. Dominick, administrator of
the estate Of Julia A. Dominick deceased,
appellant, VS.. Sarah Smith Dominick,
respondent-Thi an equitable action to
cancel and set aside deed of certain
realty. The judgment of the lower court
is affirmed.
Matte E. Merrill appellant VS.. F. HI.
Merrill respondent. This was a suit to
recover the amount paid on contract
for the purchase of property. Judg-
ment of the lower court is reversed,
with leave to defendant to answer, and
also, with leave to plaintiff to amend
her complaint if SO advised.
Latten, appellant VS.. Gillett ct al, re-
spondents suit relating to title OF real
estate. Judgment of the lower court
affirmed.
G. III. Poole appellant vs. Alice s.
Wilbey respondent. This appeal is from
an order granting respondent alimony
pendente lite and counsel fees, upon her
motion for that purpose. The order ap-
pealed from is affirmed.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-07-19
REGISTRATION CLERKS.


County Clerk Ward Makes State
ment.
County Clerk Ward, in reference to
the appointment of registration clerks,
spoke as follows yesterday:
"In reference to the registration of
voters this fall, there seems to be mis-
understanding as to the deputy clerks to
be employed for that purpose. As the
new registration will require extra help
under the new Australian ballot law,
and as now have the preparation and
distribution of the tickets, an extra
force will be required, and this estimate
ls made on that number of persons to
carry the registration, preparation and
distribution of tickets, the distribution
OF booths and ballot boxes, and such
matters as that in full. / will only en-
ploy from twelve to fifteen persons,
commencing on the 10th of August, and
probably on the 10th or 18th OF Septem-
Der l will employ as many more, and in
October the balance. 1t seems that an
impression has gone abroad that will
have to employ thirty-five deputies at
the commencement of registration, on
the 30th, but such is not the case. The
preparations have been made and all
the positions filled, mostly by the same
deputies who have performed the work
heretofore, as their experience in such
business has made them MOI favorable.
have been overrun with applications
Tor positions on account of the notice
heretofore made, which it seems is not
fully understood -

A PASADENA BURGLAR.


He Is Caught and His PIunder
Found.
A burglar entered residence at 48s
East Walnut street, Pasadena, Sunday
morning, and decamped with forty-five
pieces of jewelry and $S in coin. The
occupants of the house were all absent
at church, and the festive crook worked
without interruption during the short
time that he was in the house. The
stolen goods were thee property of Miss
Ruth Robbins and Miss Sadie Hawley,
who were rooming at the house.
Sunday evening Charles Cook en-
deavored to dispose of a lot of jewelry to
Solomon, the Upper Main street second
hand dealer. Officer Stewart arrested
him on suspicion. Upon a search being
made the jewelry and money were found
upon Cooks person; also jimmy made
from wagon spring.
The jewelry included bracelets, rings,
a pen knife, two lockets, neck chain,
besides eight silver dollars.
At the time of Cooks arrest nothing
was known of the Pasadena robbery,
but yesterday morning Marshal Buchan-
an of that place notified the Los Angeles
authorities. Later in the day he came
in, accompanied by the ladies. They
identified all the iewelry, and even the
money. Marshal Buchanan, having the
necessary warrant, bore the festive
Cook back to Pasadena with him.

CALIFORNIA BEET CROPS.
From the Louisiana Planter.)

Error the Louisiana Planter)
Chino.-Commsnced work middle Of July.
Es innate about 80, 900 tons of beet, and Of
this amount have already worked about IL,
600 tons, which average Is per cent. This
factory is making raw sugar, which is all be-
ing Sl pped to the Western Sugar Refining
CoRpan ny, Of San Francisco, under contract.
Owing to the favorable climate in Southern
Califor MIA, they are able to begin the cam
paign earlier than in other sections. They
will in crease their acreage next year at least
1000 tons, and the experiment will also be
tried in planting iT the fall, before the first
rain, thus beginning grinding in June. If this
can be accomplished, the so uthern portion Of
the State will eclipse all other sections of that
cou ntry in the beet industry.
WatsonviNs.-Thi factory expects to
start about the 25th inst. They have dou-
bled their capacity the past year. Estimate
about 5000 tons beet, from which they OK.
pect from 1000 to 5000 tons of raw sugar,
which will also be delivered to the Western
Sugar Refining Co., under contract. The
beets are looking we'll, and a prosperous cam
paign is anticipated. The price paid for the
product Of of this factory, and also Chino, is
on the basis Of the price of Cuba centrifugals
in New York, without discount.
AlUarado.-This factory will
early in September. They have planted 1916
acres. and it is all looking fine, and esti-
mate a yield of about twelve tons to the
acre, and from this estimate 10 per cent of
white sugar, which has all been sold to the
trade here on the basis of the price of the

lated, on date of delivery

An important event has occurred in South
Africa. The President of the Transvaal
Republic has declared in favour of admitting
foreigners to citizenship. and intends to pro-
mota a Bill reducing the residence necess-
airy as a qualification for the franchise to
two years. In four years. moreover, a
foreigner will b. eligible to the Second
Chamber, aud in ten years to one in the First.
The effect Of this change will be that the En-
glish residents, who are already in q majority
will. in a short time be masters within the
Transvaal, AID that the federation of all South
Africa will be greatly facilitated. President
Krugers's motive for this change of front is
not yet known: but tits probable he perceived
the reform to be inevitable and preferred
with great good sense, to carry it constitutions
ally instead of accepting it as a result Of Oh
vii war. he also stated that he would assist
the Natal Railway in stretching into the
Transvaal, which is almost as important o
concession as that of the franchise. 1t
abandons the long cherished design of the
Beers to reach the sea at DelagOa Bay, and
so liberate themselves from any dependence on
B ritish sea borne commerce. The President
has seen how rapidly the English have filled
and enriched his State, and prefers its perma-
nent interest to that of tile few fanatics who
would keep out all intruders, under the i'm
preston that South Africa has been given by
Heaven to the Dutch. who. therefore, may
treat the black population as they please.

Spectator, Oct. l5th)

The great festivals in honour of Columbus
and the fourth centenary Of the discovery of
America, have been going on IN Huelva
SPAIN and New York all the week. The
functions in Huelva nave been %solemnlV
ceremonious, and, it is said, tedious, the
little King presiding with a dignity, which
must make him very sleepy, but which must
also accustom him to his future duties; and
those in New York have been marked by the
attendance of enormous multitudes. 1t is
said that on the 18th inst. two millions of
people watched the unwilling of the statue
of Columbus, and though that must be an
