SLOW cnnnlianoe with Law.

Few of the railroads have yet taken
steps to conform with the law passed
last March regulating safety appliances
for cars and locomotives in coupling.
The number Of cars at present fitted with
automatic couplers is something over
1866, ,000--freight and company cars, Ill.,
900; passenger cars, $4,000, and leased
cars, 23,000 in round numbers. Accord
ing to the latest statistics Of the inter-
state commerce commission, the number
of cars in the United States is something
over ,0C0-freight and company
cars, 1,0S4, 900; passenger cars, $4,000.
and leased cars. l53.0 600, in round num-
bers. II does not follow. however, that
the first group of figures-the number of
cars fitted with automatic couplers-
will remain untouched by the new legis-
lation, for uniformity must be observed,
and consequently n large proportion of
the 10000 cars already equipped will
have to undergo repair. On the other
hand, the number Of cars equipped with
the master car builders coupler, which
is the single l5iai most generally in use
and which ssli'lel the provisions of the
bill, is also i e. New York Post.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1O.--A big scan
dal has been developed here in the af-
fairs OF the Stearns rancho corporation,
which at one time owned 10000 acres
In California, and is still one OF the
largest landed corporations on the Pa
cific coast.
The Chronicle tomorrow prints the
story of an investigation OF the conduct
OF the affairs OF the company. The story
is that committee of three disinterest-
ed business men has been for three or
four months investigating the conduct
Of the manager OF the business OF the
company, Col. h. S. Northam, who is a
member of the governors staff, and one
OF the best known public men in the
state.
The paper will state that the commit
tee has about completed its work and
will in few days report to the stock.
holders. The committee consists of
Barclay Henley, George B. Polheimus
and L. w. McGraw. 1t is reported
there will be a majority and minority
report. The majority by Henley and

income of the ranch has been il egally
diverted. II is not charged that there
has been any embezzlement, however.
In his minority report McGrsw will
defend Colonel Northam in his actions
as custodian OF the property OF the com
pany.
The late Moses Hopkins was president
OF the company. 1t is claimed Hopkins
gave Colonel Northam oral authorization
to dispose OF the property of the COM
pany, and that Northam has legal justi-
ication for all his acts and valid claim
against the ranch for all the moneys
said to have been diverted from the
treasury of the corporation. The inter
ested parties are very much worried over
the publicity of the trouble, and the
true facts are hard to get. So far as
learned no legal steps toward a settle
ment of the difficulty have been taken.

The End of Mrs. stan.ord's Jewels.

AS is well known, by no means the
least valuable possession of Mrs Leland
Stanford are her magnificent jewels.
One Thursday last winter, as she 're-
ceived" her weekly guests, all eyes were
drawn to superb parure of rubies and
diamonds worn with gown of delicate
gray. The ruby in the brooch was as
large as q pigeons egg. After many of
the visitors had gone Mrs. Stanford took
occasion to say to an intimate friend:
"Do you know these are the first jewels
that my husband gave me when he first
began to think himself rich man, and
this is the first time that l have ever
worn them. The other day, when l was
dressing, he said, 1T seems to me you do
not care much for my first gift so /
have put them on at the earliest oppor-
tunity. Colored stones cannot be worn
with every gown"
In some further talk the friend alluded
to Mrs. Stanford's celebrated set of dia-
monds that once belonged to the queen
of Portugal, and their present owner OBJ
served: almost all my jewels are his
toric. They will bring their price, and
their destiny is decided, SO that which
ever of us survives, the other will see it
carried out. They will be sold. and the
proceeds will go to the orphans home in
San Francisco. San Francisco Letter.
