HAD A GOOD TIME.
Hume Brought Back From
Australia.
The Absconding Messenger Takes His
Arrest Observation-Disclosures lie
Will Get Off Lightly.

One Of the passengers by the steamer
Alameda. which arrived yesterday morn
ing, was Paul II. Hume, the absconding
Wells-Fargo messenger. who was arrested
at Brisbane. Australia. He was in charge
of Detective James L. Tucker, who turn ed
him over TO Detective Ross Whitaker
He was taken to the City Prison, and
afterward to the County Jail.
Rume is only % years of age, and had
been in the employment of the express
company about three and a half years.
lie was messenger on the line between
Redding and Sacramento.
On the night of July last he received
for the express company at Colusa juno
tion package containing $500, sent by a
banking firm there to the Bank of Califor-
MIA in this city. The package never
reached its destination. and when Hume
realized that suspicion had fallen upon him
he came here and sailed on the steamer
Australia for Honolulu. He stayed there
ten days, and then took passage in the
Mlowera for Brisbane, where he was at

in custody until Detective Tucker arrived
with the necessary papers and secured his
eXtradltiOn- When captured he had $3.50
on his person. which was recovered.
Hume was indicted last July by tie
Grand Jury of this city. and bench war
rant was issued from the Superior Court
for his arrest. His trial will, therefore, be
held here.
Hume was seen at the City Prison and
talked freely of bis case. he takes his
arrest philosophically and seemed to relish
telling the story of the jolly time he had
while fugitive from justice. especially in
Honolulu. where he disposed of a con sid
cradle portion of the stolen money.

LIKE MR.. SEARLES.
He WOOed and Welded an
Aged Widow.
DIR. Stearns Becomes Heir to a For
tune of Nearly One Hundred
Thousand Dollars.

Judge Coffey has admitted the will Of
Mary Stearns to probate. appoint ting her
husband as executor of the estate. Mrs.
Stearns' old-time friends are considerably
surprised that the will has been probated
so quietly, for there were many rumors Of
a contest by relatives of the deceased in
the East However. since the la" allows
one year after the filing of the will for a
contest to be started legal tight over the
lady'S belongings may vet ensue.
The value of Mrs. Stearns' estate was
placed at 4l,000 in the petition for pro-
bate, but those who are In a position TO
know say that 100000 would be closer
estimate, as large building on the corner
OF Fifth and Minna streets and some valu-
able property on Grant avenue are por-
tlon of her worldly goods.
The marital life of Mrs. Stearns was very
similar to that of Mrs. H0pkins-Searles
and Mrs. Lally-Ostwald. Like both Of
these ladies she was widow and bestowed
her hand and fortune on man young
en- ough to be her son.
Mrs. Stearns was formerly Mrs. p. S.
Cartan. Her first husband had amassed a
small fortune by Judcious real estate
speculation.
Thirteen years ago he died, and those
that witnessed the widows grief shook
their heads and said that her heart was
encased IN his casket.
A beautiful vault did the Widow. Cartan
erect for her beloved dead, and there. day
after day, week in and week out, she
would drive in the morning in her car
riage. She would take her sewing along
as we'll as her lunch, and would sit all day
long inside Of the vault. happy with her
departed.
A fabulous price she paid for two full
liie-slze pain tings-one of herself and the
nf
IN Paris. ana DR.. Stearns now owns them.
The widow was often photographed
within and outside of the tomb.
Great was the surprise of her numerous
friends, therefore, when. without any pre-
vious announcement Mrs. Cartan de-
clared that she was Mrs. Victor Stearns.
True. SteArns had visited her frequently,
but since he was man of 27 years it was
thought that he was simply an agent for
her property.
Selling all her North Beach property.
Mrs. Stearns removed to 27 Grove street,
cutting off all communication with her
former friends and acquaintances. Stearns
was medical student in his first year at
Ioland's Medical College when be wooed
and won the widow, and after the mar
rlage he still ontinued his studies at the
same institution.
Very happy we're the ten years that this
curionsly mated couple spent together. A
lew days before her death Mrs. Stearns
was stricken with paralysis while walking
through the dning-room. With great
exerton she dragged herself to the room
" here her husband was sitting.
"Vick. Viek," she gasped, "Pm dying
Everything will soon be over. But l will
come back 10 you, Wick. | will come
oack, aud be with you forever"
She was buried in the vault with her
first husband, just where she had found SO
much comfort in her widowhood.

McGINNESS' SUCCESSOR.
Why the CoOney Boys Have Such
Large Copying Bills.

The resignation of Thomas McGinness,
chief deputy of the Recorders office, was
accepted by Recorder Glynn yesterday.
Mr.. McGinness gave entire satisfaction in
the performance of his duties and he made
himself we'll liked through all the depart
ments of the City Hall. His resignation
was due to political reasons, and arose
over fight between Recorder Glynn
and Dick OConnor, who was chiefly in
strumental in obtaining Glynn's nom-
ination. 1t was thought the fight would
be patched up, but it has recently grown
more bitter. McGinness chose to remain
with the OCohnor side, and the result
was his withdrawal. He gives up a $3.50
a month salary, but he has been assured
that he Will be taken care OF. Recorder
Glynn has nothing against his chief deputy
and wishes him well. McGinness stood
between two fires and did not know into
which one to leap. which was most un-
pleasant position. Finally he decided to
go over TO O'ConnOr. to whom he was
under many obligations.
Recorder Glynn did not announce Nc
Guinness successor yesterday, but il was
stated in the office that the new chief dep
uty would be John Noonan, at present
registrar OF mortgages.
There has been considerable talk about
Joseph and John COOney, nephewS of
Mr.. Glynn. making S275 and $3.50 month
as cOpyists, while the other copyists live
on lean salary OF $50 and SIS. The whole
fact of the matter is that all the printed
work is given TO the two Cooney boys,
who simply paste it in TO the registers and
charge SO much folio. In this way they
can earn many collars with very little
work. All the other copyiSts peg away at
the written matter, and have to copy 1t
word tor word, as the originals cannot be
destroyed. Both get the same price per
folio, and that is why the Cooney boys
have larger bills than the sweating copy
lists.

Twenty cents pound is now asked for

this is only a rumor. AS a matter of

that the indictment was not specific

FREIGHT RATES ADVANCED.
The Railroad Commission Issues It's
Circular on the Subject.

Atlanta, Ga, July 10.-The railroad
commission to-day issued the formal
order granting the advance in local
freight rates asked for by the various
lines some time ago. The increase, which
averages Is per cent, 10 per cent, less
than was asked for, goes into effect July
20.
The Richmond and Danyille main d.
vision, the Georgia. the Western and At
lantic, and the Atlanta and West Point
are the only lines in the state which
do not get the benefit of the increase
granted.
The Ccntrars increase is about IS per
cent, while the Plant SYSTEMS is 10 per
cent
The commission rules that no more
than the standard passenger tariff shall
be charged passengers from flag stations
where tickets are kept on sale.
1t is confidently expected that the
granting Of the increased freight rates
viii have a strong tendency towards re-
trieyng the bad fortunes of the Georgia
railroads and especially make favorable
impression on eastern capital which has
been afraid of railroad Investments in
this state on account of the apparent
antagonism of legislation. Receiver Co
mer of the Central was the originator of
the movement for increased rates and is
largely due the credit for having made
out such d strong case before the com
mission.

Justice Naughtin Would Not Try it
Unless the Property Was Produced.
The case of the Sons and Daughters of
Abraham, colored society, against Eliza
Gordon, their former treasurer, was
to have been tried in Justice Naughtin's
court yesterday, but when all the parties
had assembled Eliza could not produce
the property in court and she was sent
back to Jail until she would do so.
She was treasurer of the society," and
some time ago refused to furnish money
from the society's funds for an excursion
which the society decided to give. Those
who wanted to give the excursion took
out a possessory warrant for the books
and money, claiming that she had not
been legally elected. She went to jail,
however, in preference to turning over
the funds and books to the minority.
The property was not produced when
the case came up yesterday and LILA was
sent back to Jail until it is forthcoming.
