The case was virtually settled by Judge
Sullivan, but was afterward carried 10 the

In October, 1889. a supplemental answer
was filed in the Supreme Court asking tnat
''the marriage contract be declared ioI-
gerry and that plaintiff was never married 10
said William Sharon and that her claims ana
pretensions to such marriages are Wholly
false and that the defendant have judgment
against the plaintiff for costs.
The cause came on trial before Judge
Shafter on July 90. 1890, and the court
found that said contract was forgery ana
gave the plaintiff costs, taxing them at

There was little of interest yesterday in
the trisl of Assemblyman Bruner. charged
with offering TO take bride TO defeat Bill
before the Legislature at Sacramento.
Juror Cohn kept the throng which
packed Judge Wallace's court waiting for
half an hour, when Witness Ottinger was
recalled.
''Did Won not say to two men. one named
Heinrich and the other Crouch, that
Bruner was not guilty and ought not to
suffer-" asked Attorney Reddy.
mo, sir"
what did you say to them?"
81 said Bruner was a pretty good sort of a
fellow and that he was by no means the
blacklist of the Doodle gang in the Legisla-
lature."
Witness denied that he had ever advised
Mrs. Heath or Miss Nichols to keep away
from the country if they wanted to keep out
of court.
Theodore Bachman. a bartender in the
rear of Ottinger's place of business, said
that Ottinger and Bruner had been closeted
together in the back room of the saloon on
Que occasion in the latter part Of February
or the beginning of March. 1891.
A Japanese servant, who had been in the
back room at the time and who could speak
good English. had since left for Japan.
Bruner was known to witness by reputa-
ton before he was introduced TO him by
Ottinger.
He desired to correct certain statements
on that head made by him in the prelim-
mary examination.
The people afterward rested. and the de-
Tense opened. the greater part Of the after

C0MMON-SENSE TEACHING.

The Manner in Which Pupils Are In
struoted at Miss Bolte's school.
Out in the western part of the city. on
the north side of Jackson street, near Bu-
ehanaD, is a neat building, painted in light
eolors, which gives it cheerful appearance,
which is added 10 by q garden patch In
front and another on the SIDE In this
building Is the European Select School,
conducted by Miss Jeanne B0lte, who for
years was a teacher in some Of the best
schools in Europe, and who devoted several
years to teaching of German and French in
one OF the largest private schools In this
city. Since she established the school at the
place described, she has. by her methods

corps Of assistants teach children On the
eommon-sense principle OF imparting knowl-
edge without books until such time as they
acquire correct pronunciation and gain in
formation about what they see daily and
come In contact With, just as a mother
teaches her babe words and impresses on
the infantile mind the meaning and value
Of each. Then the children are given book
lessons, and step by step they are carried
through the primary, intermediate and
higher grades. When that stage has been
reached they are fitted for university, COL
lege or seminary. The English course,
taught by Miss Marlowe. is in a measure
after the lines laid down in the public
schools, while the German taught by Miss
zimmerman, and the French by Nine Os-
borne and Miss la Pierre are after the most
approved methods which are known to
give the best results. The kindergarten is
IN charge Of Miss Bressler, who for eleven
years was pupil and teacher under Nine.

His Heirs Say 1t Was Obtained by False
Representations.
Eugene Guillaume Birabent and Marie
Josephine Deveze have sued Virgine BRA
bent for four ninths of parcel of land, be-
ing part of fifty-vara lot 222, along Dupont
street.
The land belonged to Marc Antoine Bra
bent, who died in Ners, France, last May,
leaving wife, the plaintiffs children by a
former marriaael and Marie Dargae, his
daughter by defendant.
Marie Josephine since married Pierre De-
veZe.
Marc Antoine Birabent is said to have
signed a deed on the I'D Of July, 1890, CIV
ing the land in question TO defendant.
But 1t is con attended that In doing so he, an
old man "a years of age. was induced by de-
fendant, and that he was of feeble and I'M
sound mind at the time. a
Part OF the undue influence alleged Is
that Birabent was told that the plaintiffs
were OF no repute and constantly mallgned
him, saying he was crazy.
The property is valued at about SIS, 900
and the defendant is said TO be in solvent,
therefore the appointment Of a receiver Of
the rents, amounting to about 500 month,
is asked. together with an accounting and

No report was heard by any one outside
the house. and the first intimatiOn that the

A MYSTERIOUS CAPITALIST.

a Meeting Of the Executive Committee Of the
Traffic Association Held Yes
terday

The executive committee Of the Traffic
Association of California held a meeting
yesterday afternoon. but aside from dispos-
ing of the usual routine matters there was
very little business transacted, it being the
intention to defer all matters until October
%, when the first annual meeting Of the
association will be held ii the Merchants
Exchange.
Manager Leeds will on that occasion rem
der his report for the year, and if President
f. F. Castle RECEIVERS in time from his pres
ent illness ne will deliver an address The
prelminaries for the annual meeting were
discussed yesterday and the necessary conf
mittees were appointed. An informal talk
on the political outlook was also had, but no
action whatever was taken.
A rumor was freely circulated yesterday
to the effect that an emiSsary Of an Eastern
syndicate is in this city for the purpose Of
subscribing for large number of shares in
the San Francisco and Great Salt Lake road
Ii was stated that the man from the other
side of the Rocky Mountains was in nego-
tiation with Daniel Meyer, the banker.
who IS the financial head OF the road.
Close inquiries yesterday resulted in verify
ing the fact that for several days a mys-
ferrous Eastern agent has been in this city
investigating tile affairs of the new road.
Who the man is and who he represents only
very few people know and they will not tell.
But there is no doubt that lie is here with
view of securing a block Of shares in the en-
terprisp, if he finds matters satisfactory.
Daniel Meyer was all yesterday afternoon
closeted m his private Office IN close con-
versation with some one. Il might have
been the stranger from the East.
The men interested ia the Great Salt Lake
TOaC. when seen. either denied that thew
knew Of the presence Of the agent or they
smiled knowingly and promised to talk
about IL later on.
There is every indication that within
few days there will be some great news
made public concerning the Salt Lake roaG
and when that time comes the skepties
who have doubted that the enterprise Will
succeed will be surprised. The local
private subscriptions have been quite
liberal, although a few Of the largest
capitalists have the matter still under con-
siderstiOn and have as yet taken no shares

HOT GREASE AT SEA.
A Passenger Who Was Burned Claim
$1,000 Damages.

$4,000 Damages.
Charles Berg was passenger on the
American steamer Karluk on her voyage
from Alaska to this port on September 8,
1901. On the high seas on that date large
quantity OF hot grease, hot meat and hot
vegetables fell from the stove in the galley
over Mr.. Berg. His body was severely
burned and he was laid up in consequence
for considerable period. The Karluk Can
ming Company Of this city, tie owners OF
the steamer. paid the unfortunate passenger
$40 as a salve for his :ufferings. Mr.. Berg,
however, claims that he suffered disabling
injuries for which $4,000 alone would COM
pensate him. Yesterday he filed libel on
the steamer Karluk for that amount OF dam
ages in the United States District Court.
He claims that the hot grease fell from the
stove in consequence Of the defective con-
dition Of the guard upon said stove.
