A perpetual injunction was yesterday
granted by Judge Hebbard against Con-
tractor Albert E. Buchanan from grading
Market street from Valencia to Seven
teenlh.
The injunction was asked by the city, and
Buchanan contested il on the ground that he
had private contracts and had been granted
the right 10 undertake them by certain
orders and resolutions Of the Board of
Supervisors.
The court called attention to the fact
that Buchanan had aekn0 wledged the power
OF the Street Superintendent TO pend his
permit and the latter had not been removed.
When he made his contract with the PROP
erty-owners it must have been subject to
the right Of the city TO revoke the license.
The court held that the notice given by
the Street Superintendent, and Buckman's
acquieseence in il, constituted revocation

SObbed Like a Child.

Attorney Clara Foltz yesterday made an
eloquent motion for new trial in the case
of James Z. Wells, convicted of partcipat-
ing In the forgery OF the name of Miss
Emma L. Dick to a mortgage.
The woman attorney laid special stress
on the value OF the new evidence upon
which the retrial was desired, and which
has already been stated In The CALL. She
also took occasion to animadyert upon the
conduct OF the prosecution, and referred
feelingly 10 the prisoners family.

Prisoner Wells, an elderly man OF fifty

bitterly, his whole form being conyulsed

Assistant District Attorney Hinkle said
that, on account OF the line taken up by

a telegram from Astoria was received at
the Merchants Exchange yesterday stating
that it was reported there that portions of a
wooden vessel were coming ashore at a
point north of Grays Hlrbor. The name
and nationality of the vessel were not
known.
The Merchants Exchange wire to Point
Lobos. which has been down for a day and
half, has been again put up and is now in
working order.
The merchants of this city are very
grateful TO John Hyslop, the observer at
the point station, for his energy and per-
severance while laboring under difficulties
While the wires were down MI Hyslop
brought all the reports Ia to the head
quarters on horseback.
Second Mate Buchanan of the Scotch
bark Balmore swoTe out a warrant for the
arrest Of David Irwin on a charge of assault
and battery. The facts of the case are that
the first mate OF the vessel picked a quarre ell
with him aud struck him blow in the face.
Irwin retaliated, naturally, and the mate
ran away. The second mate then inter-
fered and had his face badly disfgured by
the hard fists Of the seaman.
II Is the Intention Of the officers, as soon
as they get well rid OF Irwin. TO pull out into
the stream and sail before he can get free
