QUITE A CLOSE SHAVE.
Woman Suffrage Beaten in the Com.
mons by Only % Majority.
TWO TO ONE AT LEAST EXPECTED.
Balfour for the Bill, and Liberals Are on
Record Against It.
NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS

LONDON, April N.-In the House of
Commons to-day Sir Albert Kaye Rollit
moved the second reading of his women's
suffrage bill. He declared that, although
much had been said derogstory to women
exercising the franchise in Wyoming,
where they had the right to vote, he had
official documents showing that such exer-
else of the franchise was beneficial in that
State.
Samuel Smith (LiberaD moved the re-
lection of the bill. He urged that female
suffrage was introduced in Wyoming by ac-
cident. Educated Americans, he said, were
opposed to giving the franchise to women.
The only forces that would benefit by the
passage of the bill would be clericalism and
socialism.
he did not agree with those who held that it
would be degrading for women to take part
in politics. There were other women's
associations, including the Women's
Liberal Federation.
Here Walter S. McLaren (RadicaD in
terrupted Mr.. Balfour, saying, 'Of which
Mr.. Gladstone is President"
Mr.. Balfour said he did not wish to enter
into a personal question, but, at any rate,
every section of the House is only too glad
to avail themselves Of women. 1t did not
lie in any of their mouths to say that taking
an active part in framing the policy of the
Empire would be degrading to women.
A most surprising feature of the debate
was the attitude of the Liberals, whose pro-
gramme includes a great extension of the
franchise. Mr.. Gladstone did not speak at
all, though from his recent letter it is
known that he is opposed to granting the
franchise to women. A division was taken
on Sir Albert Rollit's motion, and it was
defeated. the vote standing 175 to 152
The ladies' gallery of the House of Com
mons was packed, among the occupants be-
ing Mrs. Gladstone, Lady Harcourt, Lady
Henry Somerset and Mrs. Fawcett The
smallness of the majority against the motion
caused surprise, as many had expected that
it would be rejected by vote of two to one.

TO BE TAKEN HIGHER.
Judge Slagle's Decision to Be Appealed
From.

From.
Judge Slagle's decision on the question of
brewers and distillers being entitled to only
one additional license has caused great
deal of surprise and greater amount of
objection. The decision means loss of
about $4,000 to the various brewers, as
their cold storage houses must remain un-
used
The attorneys for those affected will take
tho cases to the Supreme Court They
have strong hopes that the higher court
will reverse Judge Slagle's opinion. The
majority of the Pittsburg attorneys think
his decision will stand.

GREAT BARGAINS IN FISH.

The clever members Of that nondescript

TO defraud the thrifty housewife.

The fish are usually several DAYS old when

BEATING OUT THE TRUTH.
One Small Grain Found in
the Bruner Case.
Mrs. Heath Repeats a Statement Made by
0ttinger Which He Failed
to Disprove.

There was little TO relieve the dull
monotony of repeated testimony in the
| Bruner trial yesterday.
The matter was fairly thrashed out In
previous hearings, but an occasional grain
| of wheat comes TO the surface In the light
! under the legal fails OF Attorneys Foote,
Beatty and Reddy.
| One such golden grain was the presence
| of Mrs. Heath of 4l3 Mason street, re-
| markedly pretty blonde, who underwent a
| long and severe examination and cross
examination without losing an atom of her
| equanimity.
| Her testimony related to conversation
between herself. Mr.. Munroe. her sister
| and Ottinger in car on the way down
| from Stockton to this city on September q.
Ottnger had there stated that his EVIL
| dence would never convict Bruner.
Ottinger had denied making the remark.
so FoOte endeavored to show that the wit
ness had been coached by the defense, but

and deted the big, bold lawyer.
She was cOrr0borated in her testimony by

Contest,

Mrs. Parker Avoids the Publicity OF
Contest.
Judge Slack yesterday granted Mrs. Jane
Parker a divorce from Edward ii. Parker,
the capitalist, on the ground OF desertlon.
Mrs. Parker possesses separate property
to the value of $4,000, and at one time
obtained an injunction restraining her nus
band from removing certain valuable secur-
tiles from his box in the California Safe
Deposit Company's vaults pending her ac-
ton for divorce on the ground OF desertlon.
Mr.. Parker denied having deserted MS
wife, maintaining that they had agreed
upon separation, and that he divided MS
time since his return from the East between
his bachelor apartments on Post street ana
his wife's home at FruitvaIe.
Then Mrs Parker made deposition
averrng that she and her husband had llyed
together happily between 1857 and 1873, at
which time she was Informed OF certain
doings of her husband, in which one Nellie
Wilder was implicated, and ali OF which her
husband admitted. They had never since
resumed marital relations.
Since then the husband flied stipulation
agreeing to give his wife $4,000, and. as the
decree was granted her on the sole issue oil
desertion, the presumption is that COM
promise was entered into out OF court.

How Civil Engineer Engineered a Ian
Purchase.

How Civil Engineer Engineered a Land
Purchase.
In 1884, c. G. Miller, a civil engineer, was
engaged to construct canal to take water
from station in San Bernardino County,
and conduct the same to lands below the
point of diversion for irrigation.
Miller saw an opportunity to make some
money on the side by buying land in the
neigh borhood where the canal was to run,
and he and his son-in-law. Richardson, took
steps to secure portion of the land to be
benefited.
Mr.. Cox was 'let in" On the purchase
under certain conditions.
The land before the ditch was dug was
not worth more than about SIS or $40 an
acre, but the irrigatiDg facilities made diff
ference Of about $50 per acre.
Cox was to buy the land, pay all the
taxes. and then the three in the deal were
to come IN and pay one-third Ut the pur-
chase price of the land and have one third
OF tie land each.
On November % Miller demanded an &C.
counting, and a few days later rendered
5000 In gold, which was refused.
The canal was slow In being built, and
Cox was fearful IL would never get to the
land he had purchased, so a second contract
had been drawn up. whereby it was stipu-
lated that II the money due was not paid by
November /, 1889, the first party to il should

Eiihar Side.

The Case Submitted without Argument
Either Side.
On the resumption of the trial Of Hattie
E. Graham. in Judge Troutt's court yester-
day morning, it seemed there was surprise
IN store Tor some of those present.
Attorney Ferral for the defendant said
that as the prosecution had closed the r
case on behalf OF the people, and had adj
duced TO jot Of evidence tending to prove
any guilt Oh the part of the defen dant he
would adopt the course plainly suggested.
In other words, he was ready to submit
the case to the jury as it stood, without
ofering any testimony for his eli ent.
His announcement was met by another of
like character from the prosecution.
Assistant District Attorney Hnkle said
that i'll view OF the courts ruling an alleged
written confession was not admissible. he
was willing that the case should 20 TO the
jury under instructions of the court to find
verdict OF acquittal
Both the prosecution and the defense
waived argument, and. the court having in
structed the jury as to the question of law,
the jury retired.
During the absence of the jury the defend
ant did not appear very anxious, nor did she
nave long to remain in suspense.
In about five minutes the Jury returned
and the foreman announced verdict of
not guilty, whereupon the defendant was
formally discharged.

IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE SALE
A Choice Piece Of Market-Street Prop
srty Changes Hands.

O'Farrell & Co. have just closed an i'm
portant sale of Market-street realty for
Joseph A. Donohoe, of the well-known
financial firm of the Donohoe- Kelly Bank
ing Company. The premises sold are stu.
ated on the south side of Market street, 275
feet east of Eighth. adjoining Central Park.
The frontage on Market street is $40 feet,
and the depth is 165 feet, through to Steven
son street. The improvements" on the
land are old frame structures, yielding
present income Of something over $500 per
month. The location of the property is
considered by real estate experts as excep-
tonally available. Alfred J. Rich Is the
purchaser. 1t is reported that the price
paid is in the neighborhood of $1,000 front
foot
The transaction Is the most important
that has enivened local real estate circles
in quite awhile. In fact, it may be put
down as the representative sale of the sea-
SOD, owing to the rare occurrence of
change of ownership on Market street.
This investment certainly is gilt-edged,
whatever misfortune may overtake other
parts of the city, and 1t shows that there is
a strong demand for choice inside property
at any reasonable figure.
