Troubles.
Public interests Not Being Involved
the Remedy Lies In an Action
for Damages.

Judge Hebbard decided yesterday that the
California street Railroad Company was not en-
TIL d TO a preliminary injunction against the
Ferries and Cliff House road In the suit pending
against the Msrket-street consolidation.
The suit is one that VIII be fought out In the
courts 10 the bitter end II IS claimed by the
plaintiff incorporation that the defendant
wishes TO deliberately break twenty fiye-year
contract by dscontinuing steam travel to the
park from Central avenue changing the start
Ing point from that place TO Sixth avenue so as
TO connect with the Sacramento-street line. BY
this means the continuous route from the city
to Golden Gate Park would be kept under con-
troll Of the Marketstre combine, as alleged
by the plaintiff company, and the California
street road fearful of damage done 10 its traffic,
sought TO enjoin thr Ferries Company from
carrying out the threatened change of route.
No temporary restraining order was granted
IN the case. as the superior Judges To whom
Mr.. hoeffier of the legal firm of CARRIER, Boalt
Bishop, representing the California-street
Company, applied. said that the case appeared
to be one for an action for damages, but not for
an Injunction, as the public good was not threat
en- d any way by the proposed alterations.
Judge Sutherland took this view. but granted
an order to show cause why permanent in
junction should not issue. The matter was
beard on Tuesday last.
In refusing 10 grant an Injunction. pendente

Ii was further decided that no public in

A FIRE LAST NIGHT.
The Residence of Mrs. NJ. E. smart De.
 stroyed'-An Old Land Mark.

This morning about , o'clock the large tNo-story residence of Mrs. NJ. E. Smart on West Fourth avenue, was discovered on fire on the second floor. The members of the family hastily gathered what clothing they could quickly get together and made their exit to the street. Friends rushed in and helped save a great deal of wearing apparel from the second floor The flames spread rapidly and were soon madly lapp- ing the roof of the house. 1she alarm was sent in and was promptly re- sponded to by both companies, who soon had several streams of water playing on the fire, and fighting it hravelY The streams at first were weak, but they gradually grew stronger and soon the brave firemen had the fire checked and under con trol. Friends gathered in and carried out all the household effects on the first floor and saved q great deal from the second. All that now remains of the once handsome home is now q shell
 The origin of the fire cannot be definitely known, though it IS thought to have occurred from a lamp explosion in the bath room.
 The property was insured in the K. H. M Mills agency as follows: On dwelling, $4,000; on household goods $1 300. The probable loss is about B ,0O0.
 It is to be greatly deplored that the Water & Light Company did as it did in regard to giving the alarm. We are reliably informed that they were requested more than the sec ond time, which requests were ignored. Neighbors in the immedi- ate neighborhood knew nothing of the fire until this morning owing to no alarm having been given.
 The destruction of this property destroys one of our old land marks. The house was built by Col. E. W. Martin, deceased, during the war, and at that time was the finest resi- dence i'll the city. In 1864 Col. Martin sold the property to Mir. Felix Smart for $l2,500 in Confederate money.

 gating It.

Recently the Press handed to ". P. Pollock, of the German National bank, a description of very danger ous counterfeit silver certificate. DOT trait of Hancock, series 1886, check letter B, says the Little Rock Press.
 In the genuine the top of the letter "J, :" in James ". Hyatt, comes be- tween the letters "D' and ''Cs alter Washington, D. C., while on the counterfeit the "J" comes under the ID" about one-eighth of an inch nearer the center of the note.
 Mir. Pollock regards it as one of the most dangerous commercials in cir culation. Mir. J. J. Bowles, of Reed vile, Ark, who brought it into the bank is an entirely innocent holder. The bill has been turned over to Special Agent 4. J. Wick, of .he Government secret service, for in- yestigation. Mr. Bowles thinks he got the,bill from the Merchants and Planters bank at Pine Bluff.
 All of our local banks say it is the best counterfeit they have ever seen and the only bill with the silk fiber. It would therefore be well for our business men to keep q close lookout for this spurious money.

Miss Grace Mehlinger is one of the best known young ladies in the city. For several years she has been d leading sales lady at the Red Store and her friends in that establishment and among the trading public are legion.
 The marriage is the result of love at first sight, as the two contract ing parties had not known each other for over a week About a week ago Mr. Frank Graham came to this city, and after his arriva here he met Miss Mehlinger and a warm attachment ensued. He called on her several times and number of notes were exchanged between them, and the affair of last night is said to have been planned few evenings ago.
 Mr. Graham has been a frequent visitor to this city. He has been connected with the stage and has also visited here a number of times with shooting gallery, but it is said that he never met Miss Mehlinger until his last visit here on business, Those who know him say that he is an energetic young man and has the reputation of being Il money-maker.

CHINESE ASSAULTED.

 Streets of Yokohama.
CITY OF PEKIN BRINGS THE NEWS.

Up to the Time the Steamer Sailed Wat
 Had Not Been Declared, but the
 Greatest Excitement Prevailed-It Is
 Believed That Japan Will Win ths
 Fight In the End..
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-The steam. ship City of Pekin arrived yesterday from the Orient. War had not been declared when the vessel sailed, but ths greatest excitement prevailed in Yoko. hama over the prospect of war with China and confidence was expressed that Japan would win. Chinese were in. suited openly on the street and some, times were subjected to bodily harm.
 It is the opinion of those who can speak automatically that the only reli1 able news concerning the war will be received by steamer.
 Excitement in China is not as great as in Japan.
 The gunpowder mills at Shanghai are working day and night and are turning out thousands of pounds Of explosives daily. The government is urging them to make as much more as possible.
 The newspapers argue that this is the best time for Japan to begin hostilities with China as the surplus revenue in keeping the treasury amounts to almost 5000, 900 yen. to which must be added 5,000,000 yen, accruing in the twenty  seventh fiscal year from surplus, for va rious expenditures. There is not any pressing urgency for local disbursement and these sums can be utilized at once. This would last but short time in case of war and they will plan to increase the issuing power from s, 1000, ,0o0 to 120,- 100000 yen without in the least effect ing the national currency.
 The daily papers at Tokio come so frequently under the ban of suspension by the government for the publication of Corean items that these journals have been obliged to arrange for an inter- change of subscription lists during alter nate periods of suppression of their pub hcation. I'd
