UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Important Decision by Justice
Dole in a Desertion Case.

Justice Dole handed down a de-
cision yesterday which declares
the punishment by imprisonment
| for desertion to be unconstitu-
tional. The decision refers to the
case of Maria Comes Da Silva VS..
Joaquin Comes Da Silva. The case
was tried in the Police Court during
February, 1892, and Judge Foster
gave a verdict for the defendant,
and ruled that the action was a
civil one and not criminal one.
His judgment was appealed from
and the case went to the Interme-
diary court and it was finally heard
by Justice Dole. Desertion cases
have been common in the Police
Court. but as a rule the parties
make up their differences or the
cases are thrown out of court.
Since Judge Foster has been acting
as Magistrate he has not committed
defendant to jail under the de-
sertion law.
The following is taken from the
decision of Justice Dole:
This case was brought under the
act to prevent married persons from
deserving one another, under which
respondent is allowed to prove in
justification of his or her desertion.
the Ill conduct of the plaintiff
The evidence shows that the par
ties upon their marriage went to live
with the husbands parents, and, as
is common in such circumstances,
there was considerable friction be- |
tween the wife and the family in
Guiding the husband. Desertion by |
the husband and non-support of the |
wife is clearly shown. Although the
respondent has introduced consider
able evidence to show justification,
it is insufficient.
The respondent upon being ques-
toned in Court refused to return to
his wife. The law under these cir
cumstances authorizes the Court to /
punish the offending party by i'm
at hard labor for not
more than a month.
The point was submitted by the
counsel for the respondent, that the
part of the statute providing for this
penalty was unconstitutional. The
point was not argued. The consti-
tutional provision referred to is
found in Article Ii, as follows: In
servitude, except for crime
is forever prohibited in this king
dom"
''The full court has decided, in
questions reserved in these pro-
oeedings, that cases brought under
the Act to prevent married persons
from deserving one another, al
though the respondent is brought
before the Court by a warrant of
arrest, are not criminal in charac-
.er." Concluding, the
decision says:
I therefore find that Section Sd. /
If the Act In question, providing for
he punishment of the offending
1arty upon his refusal to return and
1erf0rm the duties of the marriage
,ontrsct, by Imprisonment at hard
abor, Is unconstitutional and with
ut binding effect upon this CONF,
nd as the statute gives no other
elief In the premises the petition is !
dismissed"

Delegate Smith, from No. 2 En-
CINE Co., informed the board that
his company had instructed him
to lay before the board a grievance
in which it was claimed that at a
special meeting held in December
four new members were elected
contrary to the laws of the depart
ment After much discussion the
chief was empowered to appoint a
! committee of three to investigate
the matter and report to the next
meeting of the board. Messrs.
Norton, Chang Kim and Second
Assistant-Foreman David Kala-
waia were named as the committee.
1t viii be remembered that at
the last meeting of the Board a
minority report of the committee
appointed to investigate the charge
of incsmpetency against Fire Mar
shall Neil was filed, generating
that official. On motion the re-
port was laid over for a month to
await the majority report, but it
was announced this meeting that
the second report was in the hands
of ]. D. McVeigh, who is at present
at the quarantine station in the
employ Of the Board of Health.
On motion, the matter was laid
over for another month.
THE ANNUAL PARADE.
The most important question dis
cussed was something which is
dear to the heart of the fremen-
the annual parade.
Foreman More of No. 1 Engine
was not in favor of holding a
parade this year, and thought the |
different companies could not stand |
the expense of the affair. He was
followed by the Chief and Mr.. |
Boyd who both spoke in the same
strain. After several votes on the
question had been taken it was de-
cided to hold the annual parade by
a vote of 9 in favor and s against.
The parade was to take place on
Friday, February Sd, the day usu-
ally set apart for the parade but
on motion of Foreman Widemann
Of No. 2 Engine, the following day,
Saturday was finally settled on as
the day and 2 o'clock in the after
noon as the time.
This matter disposed of Chief
Engineer Asch announced that
dating from the first day of the
present month the salaries of the
drivers of No. l and No. 2 Engines
would be increased from $50 to
rs. He remarked that the men
1ad to be on constant duty and
heir present pay was hardly
enough for the labor furnished.
The Chief was greeted with hearty
applause.
Alr. Asch had another surprise in
tore, and it was for the allowance
# a telephone to be placed in the
ZONES Of each foreman of the diff
erent companies, the expense to be
,orne by the department.

The National museum has issued an
extract from its report for lSss-S9
relating TO animals recently extinct
or threatened with determination. as
represented in the collections OF the
United States national museum, says
Forest and Stream. Mr., F, A Lucas
is the author Of this y interesting
illustrated paper. He treats OF the
West Indian seal. the California sea
elephant, the walruses, the European
bison. the Arctic sea COW, the mamo
or Pacific exile bill. the California
vulture. the dodo and the solitaire,
the Labrador duck. the great aux.
Pallas' c)rmorant, the Galapagos and
Mascarene torto ses and the tile.fsh.
Nearly all Of these an mails are L.
ured, the last in colors.
The tile-fsh was discovered in 1879
BY the late Captain William II. Kirby
of Gloucester. Mass, while fishing
for cod about eighty miles south by
east Of No Mans Land. Late in the
same year the fish was described by
Drs Goode and Bean. The tile-fsh,
on account OF its large size. great
beauty, abundance, ed bic quail es
and activity in taking the hook, soon
came to the notice Of people n Bos-
ton, New York and other Easte n
cities The newspapers wrote it up,
Forest and Stream illustrated it, cpl
cures passed favorable judgment upon
its flesh; it was supposed that a new
aud highly important fish had been
permanently added TO our store
The fish commission steamer, Fish
Hawk, on one occasion took seventy
three tile-fsh, weighing 54l pounds,
and presenting masses Of lemon yell

Vessels arriving in Philadelphia,
New York and Boston in the months
of March and April reported having
passed large numbers Of dead fish
covering a water area Of many square
miles.
The Navarina sailed 'for no less
than $50 miles through waters dotted
as far as the eye could reach with
dying fishes;"and most Of these vic
tins were tile fish. The explanation
OF this wholesale destruction Of life,
as furnished by Professor Verrill, is
connected with q sudden lowering Of
temperature Of the belt Of water in,
babited by the fish by encroachment
upon it of the Arctic current on the
one hand and the cold sea depths OF
