THE IRVINE ESTATE.
Eudora Smith to Get Her Five Hum
dred Dollars

GTSQ DOtiarS.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
Judgment of the lower court in respect of
petition presented by Eudora V. Smith
10 the estate of William Irvine. deceased.
The petitioner asked the court To have
an order settling the final account of
George L. Marye, administrator, vacated
and set aside, and that a further sum of
$3.50 be paid her as representing further
claim against the estate. including interest
thereon from the year 1884.
The court in deciding the matter in
August, 1891, found that on Auonst 26
1880, Eudora V. Smith loaned William
Irvine $500 at interest of l per cent per
month on certain real estate, and in Oe-
t0ber, 1888, after lrvlne'S death, and within
the time prescribed for filing claims, she
put in her demand for $4,000 20, represent
ing principal and interest Oh the loan.
The executor refused to acknowledge
the claim, and it was represented to the
petitioner that the mortgage she held was
claimed as being the property of some one
else; that tiresome litigation had ensued
which threatened to swamp the entire
estate, and that the new claimant had
threatened to bring suit against her
and the estate TO enforce specific per-
formance, etc. Eventually she was in
duced to accept sum OF money $500 less
than the amount she claimed.
After this transaction had been COM
pleted the petitioner found she had been
duped and she instituted proceedings to
recover the $500, together with interest.
Judge COffey heard the suit and allowed
Eudora v Smith $500. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court from this
order denying a motion for a new trial,
but the Supreme Court has decided that
Judge C0ffey was right.

RUSSIAN EXiLES.
Sad Condition of Some of the China's
PASSENGERS.

Among the steerage passengers brought
over yesterday By the steamer China were
number of Jewish exiles from Siberia.
With the exception of one family, the i'm
migrants were in miserable condition of
poverty. One family, the Levenstens, con-
sisting OF husband and wife and five chill
dren, will probably be sent back by Immi-
grafton Commissioner Mcpherson.
On arriving at Yokohama from Vladi-
vostUck they went TO a Russian hotel and
the manager agreed tn buy their tickets.
Leyensten gave him S212, but instead OF
buying tickets for the family he purchased
two and a half at $50 full ticket. When
the steamer was two days out the Russian
found that he was a ticket short. so he
slowed himself away. He was discovered
and put in irons. Being stowaway he
cannot be landed and will have TO go back.
The family is destitute, aud the Russian
Consul, when applied to, refused 10 give
them any aid. They will proba bly, be sent
back with the husband and father.

ORDERS SLIGHTED.
The Finance Committees
Discovery.
The Street Superintendent Employs
Almost 200 Men More Than
He Is Allowed.

Several months ago, after the discovery
OF large expenditures In the Street Depart
ment, when the funds were being over
drawn al the close of the fiscal year. the
Board of Supervisors. by a resolution, re-
stricted the outside working force of the
Street Department TO 100 men. During
July this resolution was practically
Obeyed by Street Superintendent Acker-
son. Then the vacation of the board took
place.
The Street Superintendent evidently
took advantage of the absence Of tie
Supervisors. tor he began to exceed the
number of the total force allowed him.
This discovery was made yesterday at a
meeting of the Finance Committee of the
board. The Finance Committee met in
order to pass on the August salaries of thu
clerks, deputies and employees of the
various departments.
When the demands came up from the
Office of the Superintendent of Streets
word was sent down 10 that department
that the Finance Committee wanted every
demand before any would be passed upon.
soon Clerk Ryan entered the committee
room and deposited a large wad of papers
on the table. They were salary demands
from the Street Department. The demands
passed. Then the 200 limit Was reached
and passed.
''Wkew! what's this" said Supervisor
Denman. Finally it was found that there
were almost $50 demands from the Street
Department office.
''Pll not sign them," said Denman.
The question the Finance Committee
was confronted with was How could
it disobey resolution of the board and
sign for $50 demands when the Street De-
partment was restricted TO 100 men.
Superintendent AckeTsOn explained
that the reason he employed more men
than allowed was that he was in
structed by the Health Officer ID flush the
sewers. This explanation will not be ae-
cepted by the Finance Committee, as
neither the Health Officer nor Board of
Health has any authority TO order the
Street Department to increase its force
from 100 to $50 men.
The city treasury will suffer largely
from the increase. as out Df the total there
were 130 men placed on sewers al S4 a
day, while only 83 were put TO work on
the streets proper. and as laborers they
only get 50 so day.
The demands of this large force have
n OF been signed, and the matter is liable
TO create stir IN the meeting Of the
Board of Supervisors which takes place
this morning in order to pass the August
salaries.

NO ARBITRARY POWER.
Mutual Consent Required to Appoin.
Referee.

Referee.
The Supreme Court has reversed the
judgment of the lower court in the case of
the Joshua Hendy Machine Works VS.. the
Pacific Cable Construction Company.
The claim was one made by the machine
works to recover $4566 90 balance due for
goods and merchandise sold and delivered
and for work and labor performed Thu
aggregate value of the items in the ac-
count was S35, 744 50, of which the con-
struction company paid S31, III so, leay-
ing the balance sued for.
10 this complaint the defendant COM
pany answered that the whole value OF
the materials and labor supplied Amounted
only To $4,000. and that the plaintiff had
heen July paid. However. the plaintiff
recovered Judgm ent in the SUPERIOR Court
for the sum of S7SS 81, with interest
thereon from the date of the commence
inent of the action. The defendant ap-
peaIed.
Inc Supreme Court reversed this de-
cision on two grounds. One was that in
referring the whole case to q referee to
state an account between the parties
without their consent, the court was not
authorized by section 639 of the Code of
Clvll Procedure. Again. the referee ar
IlVeu at MS decision In this way: He
found thar $3.50 30 was due in all. of
wnleh S2o,oG5 81 had been paid. And
the Supreme Court found that this iodg-
nent could Dos stand. as the findings OF
the amount paid by the defendant to the
plalntff were less than the sum admitted
IN the complaint as having been actually
received.
The judgment was reversed and the
cause Temanded for new trial.

THEY MUST WAIT.
Ill=Advised Clerks Who
Sued the City.
The Treasurer VIII Not Pay Their
Warrants Till They Give Salts
faction of Judgment.

There was large run on the city treas
ury Yesterday. Treasurer Widber gave
out that he would pay off those June de-
mandS affected by the recent Supreme
Court decision. The court held that all
salaries fixed by law and payable out of
the general fund must be paid.
Those who secured judgment against the
city for their salaries are worse off than
those who waited for the court decision.
The Treasurer will not pay any judgment
warrants until he has an order of court
acknowledging satisfaction of judgment.
Yesterday some deputies gave notes from
attorneys saying that the judgment had
been satisfied, but the Treasurer, to pro-
tect himself. refused to pay without an
official ackno wledgment of salts faction by
the court. Those who sued are therefore
obliged TO have their judgments nullifed.
They lose both costs and attorneys fees,
which amount to more than any broker
would have charged. Among those who
sued were members of the City and County
Attorneys Office, employees of the Board
of Supervisors and more important offices.
The vast mass OF poor EN- mDloyes. includ-
ing tiremen and employees, have now the
grin on their side as they did not sue, and
get their money intact.
There will not be enough in the general
fund to pay both the August and June de-
mands. All the money that is 10 the
credit of the general fund has come from
personal property taxes, and does not
amount TO 5000. coo al the present time. as it
has been heavily drawn OH. The August
warrants will be given preference. and the
June salaries not paid will be duly regis
tered and gwen favored place.
The holders of the warrants will have to

collected in October.

Judge Coffey gave his decision yester-
day in the contest over the distribution of
the money subscribed for the children of
the three firemen who lost their lives in
the Page-street fire.
The amount placed in his hands was
$3.50. and the Judge decided to distribute
this IN accordance with the wishes of the
donor-that Is to say, an equal amount to
each child, instead of to each family.
Thus each child will receive S440, the

PACIFIC BANK TROUBLES.
Attempt to Compel the Sheriff to
Satisfy a Judgment.

Satisfy a Judgment.
The matter of the Pacific Bank insolv-
ency came up again yesterday before Judg e
Murphy of Del Norte, sitting in the place
of Judge Levy.
This time it was in the form of an appli-
cation on behalf of Ferdinand Smith, who
obtained recently judgment against the
oank Tor some S21 600. to order Sheriff Me-
Dade as receiver to satisfy that judgment
out OF the assets of the bank. The petit
ton was presented by Attorney Harrison
and opposed by P. F. Dunn and Matt [.
Sullivan. both of whom maintained that no
furtber proceedings could be taken in the
matter until the writ of prohibition at
present before the Supreme Court had been
decided one way or the other. They asked
therefore that continuance be granted
during The tendency OF the appeal.
Harrison did not see what the appeal or
Writ OF prohibition had tn do with this
case. He said that while it was true til at
the matter was set for hearing before the
Supreme Court on the 9Th inst, that did
not necessarily mean that it would be de-
cided there ana then; in fact the prnba-
billtleS were that d decision would not be
rendered for some weeks yet. Meanwhile
the record showed that judgment had been
rendered for S21, 900, on which an attach
ment was levied by the Sheriff. The Sher-
III had ample property on hand and she
attachment would lie. To execute this
judgment would not be TO fly in the face
Of the writ OF prohibition by aEy means,
as the judgment and its consequent attach
ment had nothing to do with the insolvency
proceedings.
Attorney Baggett, who represented the
Accompaniment, said that on his part
me must oppose the application on the
ground stated by the attorney General
his mDilOu 10 aSfla tna insolvency
proceedings.
Finally Judge Murphy declined 10 take
up the matter Tor the present and it was
