1t now looks very much as if the Santa

company has been negotiating for it for
some weeks past, and its agents have
made thorough investigation into the
matter and studied out the possibilities
of the line as part of the Santa Fe
system.

GOOD NEWS FOR MINERS.

A Supreme Court Decision That WIN Allow
Hydraulic Companies to Start Up Again
The Rich Companies Get the Benefit of
the Decision, Though.
SAN FRANCISCO, Got. 7-[Specia. -
Judge Gilbert, of the United States Su-
preme Court, to-day rendered decision
which permits the rich hydraulic companies
in this State to carry on their mines after
lying idle for ten years. The decision is in
the case of the United States against the
North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company.
The suit was brought to restrain the COM
pany from dumping debris into the Sacra-
mento river, and although it had recently
expended $500, 900 in building dams for i'm
pounding the debris, the Judge made per-
sonal inspection of the workings OF the
mine. and in his decision he shows clearly
that the methods adopted allow the greater
part Of the fine soil and gravel in the water
to sink to the bottom of the dams The wa
ter that passes off holds a certain amount of
finely pulverized soil in suspension, but
this will not be deposited where river has
any current. In the Sacramento this will
be carried down to the bay and out into the
ocean.
In another case, that of Alfred Laurence,
who petitions to have the injunction against
his mine modified, the Judge denies his
plea on the ground that the wooden dams he
has constructed do not do their work. The
North Bloomfield Company has built con-
crete dams with brush tops This mine is
the largest hydraulic mine in the world.
Over $1,000, 900 in pipes and machinery
have lain idle for ten years, and it will be
good news for miners that it will once more,
start up.
Judge Gilbert's decision practically
amounts to this, the rich hydraulic COM
panies can resume work, but the small,
poor companies won't be able to construct
the proper dams

A RACE ON THE SOUND.

The Relative Merits Of Sidewheelers and
Twin Screws Tested.
NEW YORK, Oct IA sight rarely wit
messed on the waters of Long Island Sound
was seen this morning in race between
two of the mammoth steamboats, that come
to this city. The race was between the
Puritan, OF the Fall River Line, and the
Richard Peck, of the New Haven Line. It
was a test between different systems of
marine machinery, and to determine the
relative qualities of the compound beam
engine that goes with the sidewheeler and
the modern triple expansion engine that
drives the twin screw propeller. The Puri-
tan is sidewheeler and the Richard Peck
is the first screw steamboat to 60 on service
on the Sound. The agents of the Fall
River Line sent challenge to the people
of the New Haven Line to test the speed
OF the fast boats The challenge was &C.
cepted, and it was decided the race should
be between point near Stratford shoals to
Fort Schuyler, distance of 80 miles
Side by side for many miles the two boats
went on piling up the miles At length,
however, the Peck began to forge ahead.
She did not gain rapidly, but steadily the
distance between the two boats increased,
until, in the gray of the early morning, the
big white hull of the Puritan was a mile
astern. The race was to end at Sands
Point, and when the Peck passed that point
she was mile and half ahead of the Puri-
tan. 1t was said on board the Peck this
morning that during the last hour of the
race the Peck ran % miles.

A HORNETS NEST STIRRED UP.
Baltimore's Mayor Springs a Sensation by
Peculiar Appointment

Baltimore's Mayor Springs a Sensation by
a Peculiar Appointment.
BALTIMORE, Oct 7.-[SpeciaL Mayor
Latrobe has stirred up hornets nest by
the appointment of John B. Mcdonald, the
railroad contractor. as a city director in the
Western Maryland Railroad Mcdonald
had until recently been hand and glove
with the Baltimore and Ohio, whose work
he has done ever since he came here with
Cornelius j. Ryan, of New York, to build
the Philadelphia extension. Lately he has
been constructing the Belt Line, which tun.
nels the city, but owing to some misunder-
standing there has been falling out Now
Mcdonald has made an alliance with the
West Virginia Central people, who have
been using every effort to secure control of
the Western Maryland, and it was their in
fuence, together with that Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad people, that induced the
Mayor to send mis- name to the Council.
Now. however, comes the charge that
with Mcdonald the opposition has secured
a majority of the directors, and that if Nc
Donald is confirmed he will succeed Cen
eral Hood as President of the Western
Maryland. Investigation shows that these
charges are true. Leading citizens make
ugly charges against some of the directors,
and the Mayor is charged with selling out
the city.

Held by Bank as Security for Several
Large Loans.
A bill in equity was filed yesterday by
Mrs Elizabeth NJ. Davis against the Ger
man National Bank, j. w. Friend, John NJ.
Morrow and George Davis, the husband of
the plaintiff She states that she is the
beneficial owner of an insurance policy is
sued on the life of her husband, George
Davis, for $4,000, payable on his death.
The policy was to be paid for in ten annual
premiums. Nine of these have been paid,
and the cash surrender value of the policy
now is "a, SIG &C.
In November, 1891 the policy was as
signed to j. W. Friend, director in the
defendant bank, for use of the bank, as COL
lateral security for loan of 81, 900 on note
given by Davis to j. NJ. Morrow and in
dorsed by Morrow to the bank In July,
1892, Davis became insolvent and made an
assignment for the benefit of his creditors.
He has now become i'll and is in verv bad
health. Yesterday she made tender of
q, 600 to the bank in payment for the note
and wanted the policy reassigned to her.
The bank refused to do this and claimed
the right to hold the policy as security for
two other notes, one for s., 900 and one for
$3.50, indorsed by Davis Davis, it was as
serted, was insolvent and the bank knew it
when it took these two notes. She asserts
they have no right to hold the policy and
she asks for an I'M junction to restrain the
defendants from assigning, transferring or
selling the policy, and to require them on
the payment of S4, 900 to transfer the policy
to her and deliver up the note.

In THE JURY'S HANDS.
Awaiting Verdict in the Trial of
George Strausser for
THE MURDER OF JOSEPH BRANDT.
Suing a National Tank to Recover q Life
Insurance Policy.
THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

The jury is out in the case of George
strausser, on trial for the murder of Joseph
Brandt The first witness called yesterday
was Joseph Stransser, brother of the pris-
oner. He corroborated the testimony of
the other witnesses for the defense, and
said that he had heard his mother call:
"Help! help! George. for Gods sake, this
man is numbering us
The prisoners sweetheart, Elvina
Brandt, testified that she saw the fight, and
heard Mrs. Strausser call for help, and when
Strausser came up she heard Brandt say:
Come on, d-n you; I've been anxious to
lick YOU for many day."
George Strausser, the defendant, was then
called. He said he had heard his mother
call for help and ran to her assistance; that
he had no knife nor any other weapon, and
when he came up to where they were Brandt
swore at him, and said he had wanted to
whip him for long time, and struck him in
the breast
Killed in the Scuff1e.
He struck back and Brandt caught him
around the neck. They scuf1ed on the
boardwalk awhile and Brandt tripped over
q step and fell off the boardwalk, and in
falling the knife which Brandt had in his
left hand ran into his (Brandls) side.
Many witnesses testified to the good
character of the defendant, and, the testi-
mony being concluded, the counsel began
their addresses to the jury.
j. NJ. Friedman addressed the jury for
the defense. He said that Strausser had
simply done his duty by his mother and
sister; that Brandt was dangerous char
acter and might have killed both women
had not Strausser protected them. He
claimed that Brandt had fallen on his own
knife and killed himself, and therefore the
defendant should go free.
District Attorney Burleigh dwelt at
length on the testimony of Drs. Rossman
an Thomas, who testified that Brandt had
many wounds on the head and body, and
although none but the stab in the abdomen
was fatal, it clearly proved Strausser had
knife and had used it with murderous in
tent
The Dead Mans Last Statement.
The dying statement of Brandt was dweit
upon considerably. Brandt, knowing he
was going to die, had sent for priest, and
no man who believed in a God and here |
after would make such statement in the |
face of death. |
Judge kennedy's charge was the ordinary |
one delivered to juries in murder cases, and |
the case was given to the jury at o'clock. |
Five o'clock in the evening was the time |
set bv the Judge to receive the verdict, but |
as no agreement had been reached at that |
hour, o'clock was appointed.
Judge Kennedy reconvened court at s |
O'Clock last night to receive the verdict if |
enc had been agreed upon. The jury, how
ever, had not reached an agreement and |
after waiting awhile court was adjourned
until $50 this morning.
