MADE HER STUPID.
Did the Barber Drug His
Elderly Bride?
AN OLD LADY'S TROUBLE.
Mrs. Sandel Loses Her Case No
Malice in the Action of Her Two
Daughters.

"What is home without a m other?" asks
the poet
But jury yesterday decided that home
was all right without father. or. in other
words. that a mother may be brought into
court for giving home stepfather, without
malice necessarily cutting figure in the
transaction.
Mrs. Sherman, one of the defendants in
the suit brought by her mother, Mrs. San
dell. for $4,000 damages. resumed her tes-
timony yesterday morning in Judge San
derson's court.
She appealed to the jury to bear her out
that when grandmother Of seventy sum-
mers and a large fortune marries a
25-year-old barber, the poor old lady
needs some one to look after her property,
or the barber would be extremely likely to
do it himself.
The case she presented was not a hypo-
thetical one. 1t was part of the witness
family history. The question for the jury
to determine, therefore. was whether it
was not very natural, not to say dutiful.
for the daughters to have asked the Pro-
bate Court 10 protect their parent in her
old age.
Besides" said Mrs. Sherman 'the prop
erty was not all the separate property Of
my mother, although that is what she
claims. Her daughters should have a
share of IL as heritage from their father
Mrs Sherman also gave her father-n-
law. who. by the way, must be about
twenty years her junior. kind of black
eye on the question of his character for
peace and quiet She said he had draw
pistol upon her brother-in- law Broder.
This. however, Sandel denied. He
said that he merely took it out of his
pocket and very instantsneonsly put it in
bureau drawer, for the purpose of sug-
costing to Broder that upon occasions he
could handle other weapons than razors.
Broder saw tit, however, according to
Saudelrs statement, TO keep about five
blocks of San Francisco REAP estate per-
petuaily between himself and Sandel ever
afterwarG.
Mrs. Broder testified that Sandel had a
habit of giving his aged wife drugs before
leaving her, so that when people cOnyerSed
swer stupidity. Finally, when the old lady
was dangerously i'll, he took her out OF
town without notifying the daughters.
The jury promptly brought III a verdict
for the defendants and were duly paid by
the clerk.
The prettiest granddaughter of the de-
PENDANTS stationed herself at the door and,
with 0utstretched hand and pretty little
speech upon her ruby lips, thanked each
juryman as he passed out of the room and
congratulated him upon his decision that

old grandmother the fair presumption is
that ''he is out for the stuff"

RELAID THE SEWER.
Contractor O'Brien Explains Why He
Tore Up Pacific Street.

$OHLTdClOT ~ DITCH ENplaInS why Tie
Tore Up Pacific Street.
About two weeks ago the employees of
the Sewerage Commission discovered that
the sewer on Baker street was faulty in
construction. 1t was also found that it
was not laid at the proper depth.
As soon as this was made known, the
eontraetar. James II. O'BFen, went to the
Commissioners and told them that be
wanted to have his work Cone right, and
so would dig up the faulty sewer and re-
place it with q new one laid at the proper
depth.
At the last meeting of the Board of
Supervisors O'Brien was severely scored
for digging up the old work with
out consulting the Street Superintendent.
II was minated that be was afraid Of an
investigation by the Grand Jury.
90 Brien is the first man that has shown
any desire TO correct faulty work." said
Engineer Marsden Manson yesterday.
IT'S rather unjust that because of lis de-
sire 10 repair dana ge he should be selected
for butt for all the fault finding"
Contractor O'Brien thinks he has not
been treated right. 81 had the sewer laid
at the usual depth in the beginning" he
said. yesterday. The Street Superln-
tendent accepted it. After it was built the
Street was macadamiZed. 10 get II to the
proper grade some parts of the street were
cut down. This brought the sewer TO
within four feet ot the surface in one place
and five feet in another.
This part of the sewer settled; this
pulled some of the joints apart.
'As soon as | learned that the sewer was
faulty [ went to see Mr.. Grunsky and Mr.
Manson. They told me that they were
examining into the condition of the sewers.
They said that they did not know that |
laid the sewer Of Baker street. but that it
was faulty. / promised them that day

the work TO see that the sewer was properly
relald. And as soon as possible put my
men at work on it. l did not know of the

To AVOID any possibility of trouble"

MATE McKAY'S CASE,
The Jury Unable to Agree on Yer-
dict.

dict.
The charge of beating and wounding G
sailors on the American ship T. T. Oakes
came before Judge Morrow and jury In
the United States District Court for the
fourth days hearing yesterday. and was
given to the jury at noon.
There were twenty eight counts in the
indictment. The Judge directed the jury
to acquit the defendant, John Mckay,
first mate of the vessel. on TWO Indictments,
which charged the infection of cruel and
unusual punishments.
At 5 p. NJ the jury returned and the fore
man stated that there was not the slightest
probability OF their agreeing.
Judge Morrow told the jury that the law
required that they should not be discharged
without making every effort to reach a
verdict and giving the matter the fullest
consideration.
The jury then intimated that lunch
would be acceptable. and were taken out
10 lunch by the Marshal. 1t was pretty
generally understood that they were min
to three for conviction. The jury stayed
out for an hour and then resumed heir
deliberations.
On their return they reiterated their
statement that there was no possibility of
coming to an agreement, and they were
accordingly discharged.

IS HE AN ATTORNEY ?
AdoIph sylvia Charged With Perjury
Before the Superior Court.

The case of Adolph Sylvia. charged with
having committed perjury during the hear
ing of a case in the Superior Court. came
up before Police Judge Joaehimsen yes
terday.
The trial Is based on the evidence that
sylvia. during the hearing of his trial for
embezzement before Judge Seawell in
Department IL, on March 13 last. swore
that he was a duly qualified attorney-at-
law and had been admitted to practice
four years ago and had duly taken the
oath as qualified attorney.
Sylvia was acquitted of tha charge, but
his prosecutor. DIR. j. A. c. Roeder If Fill
bert ard Mason streets. was extremely
disgusted with the result, and the present
trial is the outcome of Investigations
made since the case in the Superior Court.
1t appears, according to the evidence
furnished by the prosecution, that Sylvia
is not an attorney qualified to practice in
this State.
II have made all the inquiries possible"
said DR.. Roeder yesterday, land here are
the papers confirming what say. Here is
the shorthand reporter evidence, testify
ing to Sylva's assertions before the Su-
perior Court, and here is the original dis
patch from Sacramento in response to my
inquiry. 1t reads thus:
April II, 1893
DIR. j. 4. C. Roeder, San Frdncfsco-DEAR
SIR: This is TO certify that Adolph sylvia is
not recorded as attorney of the Superior
Court OF sacramento County, Cal.
1t does not appear that said Adolph sylvia
was ever admitted TO PRACTICE. Respectfully,
w. B. HAMILTON
County Clerk of Sacramento County, Cal.
II think this is conclusive enough, and
what puzzles me most is that sylvia is at
this moment Deputy District Attorney of
Marin County,"

ing Attorney Cabanlss wanted defendants

dividual diggers, each man leasing his
claim and working it himself with the aid
of a few native laborers They are motley
crowd, these diggers, and representative Of
almost every nationality. 1t is hard and
precarious existence Diamonds are few
and far between, but when found never
theless they are generally Of first class
quality and realize high prices. The dig
gers are mostly men of very small means.
Their tools and washing gear are about all
they have. and they consequently live very
poorly. Meal Of rough quality is often the
only food that passes their lips from one
months end to another This they usually
get on credit from some storekeeper, who
furnishes them with the bare necessities Of
life on the of chance of their finds. Most

NC woman Lobbylst In Yashinrton.

There are some fctions concerning the
capitol at Washington. Among them is
one that the woman lobbyist is a power, and
that her wiles and arts are successfully EN-
ployed on the most eminent statesmen in
congress.
1t is true that there are women lobbyists,
and that some of them years ago were emil
nently successful There is nothing, how
ever, so false as the idea that the woman
lobbyist is a frequent spectacle, or that she
has now any influence whatever on con-
gressmen or on legislation. The average
congressman is a respectable and self re-
specting man IL must be borne in mind
that most members Of the house of repre-
sentatives and of the senate come from rural
communities, and, as a rule, no man can be
chosen from "A rural community to a re-
spectacle public position who does uot-at
least apparently-walk in the paths Of pro
priety. Il may be that his reputation is
false, but he is intent on preserving il at
all events, and consequently lit would not
do" in the language Of those who under
stand the full value Of propriety, for a man
who counts on continuing to receive the
favors of n rural constituency to be seen
very often in conversation with profes
sional woman lobbyist.
Nor would the subject on which she de-
sired to converse with him be likely to in
terest him if he were man of position and
character No one who is in the habit Of
doing business with the national leqisla-
ture or whose affairs are Of sufficient inn
portance to demand caution and intelli-
gence in their transaction, would employ a
woman lobbyist The first friend he met,
if he had no local attorney, would warn
him oH.-N. J.. Nelson in Harper's Weekly.

WHY Thunder sours MIL.

You have often asked or been asked
why does thunder sour milkg" The an
swer is this; Milk is very susceptible to at
mospheric changes. Electricity, the cause
of thunder, produces, or if it does not really
produce, follows great and rapid changes
in the atmospheric conditions. Lightning
is the discharge which comes Of electrical
inequalities, producing chemical changes
in the air Thunderstorms represent the
greatest activity Of electrical phenomena,
and the best authorities give it as their
opinion that the electricity in the atmos-
phere is the prime cause of milk souring
during the prevalence Of such storms.
