MISCELLANY.
IF She Only Knew.

The wife Of d cabinet minister went
out Of town for day or two, the week
before she was to hold big official re-
ception. She got into a carriage at
Enston in which were a young lady and
apparently her aunt, her intrusion being
much resented by the young lady, who,
| am sorry to say, did not scruple to
utter audible expressions Of annoyance
at the invasion of her privacy, and al
together tried to make things as awk-
ward and uncomfortable as possible for
the cabinet minister's unhappy wife,
The latter, however. settled down be-
hind her own proper till She was reused

THE LAST GUESS COURT.
Several Opinions Which Have Been
Handed Down.

Several Opinions Which Have Been
Handed Down.
Supreme Court Clerk Ashmore re-
ceived several opinions from the su-
preme court yesterday in cases of inter
est to citizens of southern California.
In the caee of Thomas Fraser, APPEL
liant, VS.. D. A. OFT, respondent, the
order granting motion for new trial
was reversed. 1t was an action to quiet
the plaintiff's title to parcel of land.
The court found that the plaintiff at the
time of bringing this action and for
some time prior thereto was and still is
the owner in fee of the land in question,
situate in Orange county. That the de.
PENDANTS claimed an interest to a strip
along the south side of the land, nine
teen feet wide, and that their claim was
without any right whatever. Judgment
was accordingly ordered for the plain
tiff. The defendant OFT moved for q
new trial. The court granted the mo-
tion. but upon what ground does not ap-
pear. The supreme court finds no
errors in the rulings of the lower court
and reverses the order granting the
new trial.
In The case of the people of the state
OF California, respondents, vs.. All Sing,
appellant, convicted OF robbery, the mo-
tion for a reversal of Judgment and a
new trial is denied. 1t was insisted by
appellant that the information does not

PECULIARLY uNFoRTUITous.

An Accident to Mr. John Morgan Post
pones His Wedding.
A painful accident happened to John
Morgan yesterday, by which his left leg
was broken just below the knee. He
was riding with his intended wife, Miss
I. F. Herberger, out in the northern
part of the city, and at the corner of
Bellevue and New High street, an elec-
trio car frightened his horse. It imme-
diately began to kick, and one hooi
smashed through the dashboard, frac-
turing Mr.. Morgan's leg.
They managed to get out OF the buggy,
the lady not being hurt, and the horse
ran away. Mr.. Morgan was brought to
the receiving hospital, where DR.. Bryant
attended him. Afterward he was taken
to the home of Mr.. Herberger, at No.
1914 Girard street, in Southern Pa
cifc ambulance.
The accident was unfortunate in more
ways than one, as Mr.. Morgan was to
have been married to Miss Herberger
today, and the arrangements were all
made. They have many friends who
will sympathize with them, and, instead
of one old shoe, will throw two after
them, for good luck as soon as Mr.. Nor
gan has recovered and the marriage
takes place.

REDoNDo BEACH, Aug. 22.-The base

nine, resulted in the decisive score Of 8

Charley Brant was a prominent factor,

state facts sufficient to constitute the
crime of robbery, in that it was charged
that the defendant did 'ssteal, take and
carry away" The information alleges
that the property was taken by force
from Tom She Bin, and against his will,
and was his personal property, and the
court holds that these facts fairly show
a possession of the property by the pros
ecnting witness. 1t further says that in
flaming an Information the statute
should be carefully followed, and such
would have been the batter practice in
this instance. but think the present de-
feet more technical than substantial,
more apparent than real The assign
ments of error are not we'll taken, and
the motion for new trial was not i'm
properly denied
The people of the state of California,
respondents, vs. All Sing, appellant. In
this case the Judgment is reversed and
the cause remanded for new trial. All
Sing was convicted of perjury. The
offense was alleged to have been COM
mitted at the preliminary examination
of All Wal, being examined for perjury.
The record does not disclose sufficient
evidence, as fact, to support the
charge. Conceding that the testimony
discloses complete falsity of the testi-
mony of the accused at the examination
of All Wal, another element is neces-
sary, that the testimony was material
to the issue ON trial. The court finds
no evidence in the record that All Sings
testimony was material, and it fails to
support the judgment.
In the matter of the estate of James
A. Backus, the appellants appeal from a
Judgment entered May 20, 1890, refusing
to probate the will of James Ii. Backus,
deceased. The notice of appeal was
dated May %, 1891. The civil code
provides that an appeal in such case
must be taken within sixty Gays after
the order, decree or judgment is en-
tered. In this case it was not taken
until nearly year afterwards. The
court states that the question has been
repeatedly before it, and it has uni
formly been held that such appeals
must be taken within the time pre-
scribed. The appeal is therefore dis
missed.
