csfion, a thousand feet below, and
actually trembled. l now realized
what marvellous driver the colonel
was, for certainly there is not another
man In America that could have made
that turn with safety, travelling as we
were at the rate OF 20 miles an hour.
Another remarkable thing was that the
buggy travelled as steadily as though 1t
were on level ground. The colonel had
wonderful command of his horses, and
with consummate skill zigzsged between
the boulders and unevennesso OF the road.
The realization of his skill reaseured
me. The colonel continued:
THAT off horse. you observe, is the
faster of the.two. His mate died month
ago. When he was alive l used to 20
down this hill great deal faster"
thanked God the beast was dead.
We went tearing on with unslackened
speed, the colonel talking all the time.
AS We came bowling down the stretches
felt sure we must 20 straight on at
each turn into the awful abvss; but the
colonel whipped up the off horse and
came around all right, although our
hind wheels frequently swung out over
the yawning chasm.
We made the frightful 10.mile hill IN
hall an hour. narrowly escaping ter
rible death at every turn. When we
reached the hotel Stilson was standing
on the porch. His emile had stretched
into broad grin.

TN>THE JUSTICES COURTS
SOME DEMI AIONDAINEs BEFORE
JUSTICE SEAMAN.
Goodlsind Acquitted OF the Charge
of Burglsry-Minor Cases
on Trial.

Justice Seaman's court was very full
yesterday morning, but tho audience
was principally composed OF boys anc
4 youths who anticipated some amuse
ment in listening to the trial of six in
mates OF Grace Carlyle's house, who
were charged with disturbing the peace
There were two remarkable incidents.
One WAS the evidence OF Police Officer
Vignes, who stated that he and others
listened to the inmates of the bagnio
singing vile songs for half an hour be-
fore he and his brother officers took pro-
ceedlngs to stop the disturbance.
The other WAS the evidence of Grace
Carlyle. who denied the charge OF sing
ing indecent songs, and cynically re-
marked that they left that kind of thing
to their visitors, who were never behind
hand in taking advantage ofthe license.
Justice Seaman fined them all $40
apiece.
GoODKIND ACQUITTED.
j. Goodkind, the young Hebrew who
was arrested two weeks ago for burglar.
izing Jacoby's clothing store on North
Main street, was acquitted yesterday by
Justice Seaman.
The result was great surprise to
everyone, and was principally due to
the Efforts of Attorney Ferral, who is
winning laurels as the defender of
ground hard cases.
Goodkind was arrested again shortly
after his release on second charge Of
burglary.
MINOR CASES.
All Hing, q peculative Chinaman, with
u apreviors conviction to his credit. was

J. G. ROSSITER'S OFFICE.
JUDGE SHAW DECLARES HIM TO
HE PASADENA'S JUSTICE.
Attorney-Genersl Harris Test Case Docs
Not Meet With Much Success.
The Points of the
Opinion.

Judge Shaw yesterday rendered de.
cision in the case wherein certain indi.
viduals, dissatisfied with the estab-
lished order of things, endeavored to
have ]. G. Rossiter ousted az recorder of
Pasadena.
The decision was in favor of Mr.. Ros-
sitter. and the court filed quite long
opinion in the case.
The action was brought by Attorney
General Hart to determine the right of
the defendant to hold the Office. Pass-
dena is city of the sixth class, and the
section OF the law applicable to it's gov
ernment, section 85l, provides among
other things that the recorder is to be
appointed in such cities by the board of
trustees, and shall be one of the justices
OF the peace Of the township in which
the city or town is situated.
At the time Mr.. Rossiter was ap-
pointed there was but one justice of the
peace In Pasadena township residing
within the city limits, and he had re-
fused to accept the office. Mr.. Rossiter
was not justice OF the peace, but was
otherwise eligible to the office.
The plaintiff contends that under the
provisions of section 851 no person can
hold the Office OF city recorder in a citv
OF the sixth class unless he is at the
same time one Of the justices of the
peace of the township.
The defendant, on the other hand, in.
sisted that the clause of that section
which declares that the recorder .sshall
be one of the justices of the peace of the
township in " bich such city ia situated"
is directory only, and that In case the
justices residing in the city refuse to &C.
cept the office the board of trustees have
the power to appoint some other per-
son.
After quite a full discussion of the
question, Judge Shaw holds as follows
1T is clear that the words should be
held to be merely directory. It follows
that, under the circumstances of this
case the defendant is eligible to the Of
flee of city recorder of the city of Pasa-
dena, and that he is lawfully holding the
Office. Judgment must therefore 20 in
his favor. 1t 10 not necessary in this
case to decide that the trustees have the
power arbitrarily to appoint a person as
recorder who is not justice of the
peace. The point decided is that when
there is no Justice in the city, or none
who is otherwise eligible, or when the
justices residing in the city refuse to ac-
cept the Office, then the trustees have
the right and power to appoint some
other person to the Office OF city re.
corder."

ALAS! POOR SCONCHIN.
THE NOTED POLITICIAN RAPIDLY
FADING AWAY.
Tho s7esi-snown stump Speaker and
shaksspearean Scholar Sick Unto
Death at His Homo In
Oakland.

San Francisco Call: Alasl Poo,
Sconchin!
James John Maloney, better known al
"Sconchin" Maloney, is reported to be
dying at bis home in Oakland.
His disease is puzzling the physicians J,
for while there is no apparent organic
trouble, the once powerful form of Soon
chin is slowly wasting away and he can
not survive much longer.
That the senatorial contest could be
in progress at the Palace hotel, or that
Vice-President Stevenson could be en-
tertained at the Baldwin without the
presence of Sconchin to lend enthu siasm
and noise to the occasion, has caused
the politicians of both the great parties
to marvel at his absence during the past
few days.
The disappearance OF the well-known
politician and official Of the law depart
ment OF the Southern Pacific com panv
from the streets and hotel corridors
leaves a vacuum even time can scarcely
fill.
Sconchin Mallory has long been a
familiar figure in San Francisco. While
his fame is not so widespread and ma
tional in its character as that of some
who have been before the public, re is
we'll known in California, and as an at
tendant at every political convention
held in the state for Is years, he has
become personally acquainted with
nearly every political aspirant; and at
least is known by sight to every conven-
ton delegate,
Last summer Maloney went east, and
after attending the Chicago conver tion,
where be worked enthusiastically for
James G. Blaine, he proceeded to New
York. In Gotham his oratory and
Shakesperean quotations attracted the
attention of the political loungers at the
Hoffman house. and he was employed at
a salary of $10O week to stump the
state for the Republican ticket.
Maloney returned from New York on
February last a changed man. His
happy-g0-lucky manner had disappeared
and he seemed morose and melancholy,
He was evidently suffering from some
unknown disease and gradually went in
to a decline. Recently his limbs be-
came 30 wasted away that he could span
the leg above the knee with one hand.
His last appearance in public was
few weeks ago at the funeral of the late
Senator Leland Staniord, to wh0m Soon
chin was devotedly attached. He went
down to Palo Alto with tears in his
eyes, and sat with the reporters in the
quadrangle, his head bowed upon his
breast, with his hands crossed upon his
knee. He spoke never a word, and
those who saw them beside the bier of
the dead senator could scarcely imagine
that the fading form was that OF the
once robust and powerful Sconchin
Maloney.
Sconchin's life passion has been the
great bard Of Avon. He knew Shake
speare from the cradle to the grave. and
could quote from the famous poet by the
hour. Some two or thee months ago.
when the Corbett theatrical combine
zion was In San Francisco, Manager
William A. Brady, who has known Ma
loney for several years, and who met
him in New York last fall, went to
Sconchin and offered him fair salary if |
be would travel at the head of dra-
matte company and portray the charac-
tor OF Il smlet in Shakespeare's great

historical play. The generous PROPOSE
tion of Brady was treated with contempt
by Maloney who, it ;s said, looked upon
the offer as an insult to his poverty and
his intelligence.
Mr.. Maloney came OF good old Irish
stock. He has never married, but has
lived happily and quietly with his
mother and four brothers in a pretty
cottage across the bay in Oakland One
OF his brothers is in the United States
customs service and the others hold po-
litical positions in this city.
Although a professional politician,
Maloney has never held a political Office
other than minor positions for a brief
period. He was an applicant for the
United States marshalship at Yoko.

of President Harrison, but failed to re-
ceive the appointment. although every
prominent man in California recon-
mended him for the place.

Preparation the Important Factor.

The discovery by Edison Of the carbon
with which he perfected his electric lamp
seems a happy accident, but such acct
dents never happen to common men.
The great inventor scraped some SCOT
from the blackened chimney Of his lab
oratory lamp, and in a spirit Of carlos
ity tested It's properties. 1t proved TO be
the thing for which he was searching,
but behind this fortunate discovery was
a series of exhausting and exhaustive e1-
periments with all kinds Of likely mate
rails, absorbing the energies of many
months. TIE lucky hit rewarded the
persistent viii OF patient workman.
So with the young and obscure lawyer
who conducts and wins a difficult case,
as did Thomas Erskine in his elders i'll
ness, or the struggling surgeon who has
O. sudden chance of distinction offered to
him, he must have had a long and Ia
borious preparatory training before he
can profit by such an emergency. In
short, great opportunity is worth to a
man precisely what his antacedents have
enabled him to make Of it.-Nilliam
