The CITY Recorders Authcrity-A We'd
ding.
PASADENA, June 2.-And again the an
thority Of the city recorder, in cases
which would properly come before JUS
tice Of the peace, is being called into
question.
The case which Is stirring up the
trouble is that of the People vs.. Frank
Forshay, which 10 set for hearing before
City Recorder J. G.. Rossiter on Sstur..
day next, in which defendant is charged
with larceny, and it is understood that
the defense will take the ground that
the recorder has no jurisdiction In the
case. The point of law involved ls
very interesting one. and one that has
mot yet been decided by the higher
courts; this is, neither city recorder
appointed by council has the same
power as q Justice of the peace, or
neither his power is limited to cases
Gaming nnder a city ordinance.
A case in which this point was brought
MP was that OF the city VS.. John Biddle
for violation Of the ordinance governing
the switching of trains across Colorado
street. An appeal was taken to the
superior court, the question OF the juris-
diction Of the lower court brought up
and the matter left for the attorneys to
file briefs, and there itstopped. Whether
the attorneys will ever file briefs seems
10 depend on when they get good and
ready.
The whole trouble began in the coun-
Gil appointing party to fill the position
of city recorder when he is not q justice
of the peace as Ia required by the state
law, and the confusion as to his powers
has been the result. 1t is understood
that the district attorney is up stump
on the case, but has rendered an unoffi-
cial opinion to the effect that Mr.. Ros-
sitter had better drop the case, which
from present indications that gentleman
has no intention of doing.
The outcome will be looked for with

The marriage Of Capt. Newton s. Bang
ham and Miss Lillian A. Brown took
place at 8 O'Clock last evening, at the
f.sjdence of the brides brother, on Sum-
NIT s-snue. The house was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. The cere-
mony, which VAS performed by Rev. DR..

An elegant wedding supper was served
Immediately following the ceremony.
Mr.. Bangham, who is now located at
Whittier, was captain of Company B for
several years, making q very efficient
and popular officer. He is now occu-
pying position in the official corps of
of the military school.

young ladies, and both the newly mar
ried people have host of friends in this
city to wish them very happy future.

OUR NEW DIRECTORY. go
The new city directory OF Pasadena,
published by Los Angeles firm, is out,
and is not up to the standard that was
hoped for by the business men who con
tributed to its support in fact it is a
failure both from q typographical and
business standpoint. Names are omit
ted by the wholesale, and those that are
in are in many cases wrong.
1t is pity that this venture has
turned out so badly, for the city ia in
need of agood directory, and it was hoped
that this publication would fill the bill,
BACK FROM CHICAGO.
Mr.. Ed Kennedy returned last even
ing from visit to Chicago and neces-
sarily the worlds fair. He reports
everything in state OF chaos on the
fair grounds at present, which, combined
with the bad weather which the Windy
city is favored with this spring, does not
make the present very favorable time
for seeing the "big show" but thinks
July lst will witness everything COM
plete, and will be the time to see the
fair at its best.
Pasadena people SO far as seen were
well and enjoying themselves.
