TWO SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
An Error in Admitting Evidence Re.
verses a Judgment.
Neglect to Oppose Probate at the Time
Makes the Judgment Final as
Against an Heir.

The Supreme Court has decided a
Tulare case, that of Jessie Ross, appellant,
VS. w. B. Whitman, respondent. an action
brought to quiet title to a tract of land.
Defendant claimed in his answer that
III 1890, A. Ross, husband of plaintiff, was
indebted to him and the tract of land in
question being subjected to execution.
Ross decided it to a man named John
Campbell. without consideration, and
Campbell Immediately decided it to Ross
wife, for the purpose of concealing it
from attachment and execution. De-
fendant obtained judgment, and, an ex-
ecution being levied on the land, it was
sold, defendant being the purchaser, sub
ject to redemption.
Plaintiff appealed, making many
claims of error, but the court overruled
them all except in one case. 1t holds
that there was error in allowing the Iesti-
mony OF a witness in regard to state
ments made by a. Ross subsequent to
his parting with title to the property,
tending to prove that the conveyance
was made in order to delay and defraud
creditors.
For this error the judgment is reversed
and new trial ordered.
A CALAvERAS CASE.
1t has also decided the case of Addie E.
Curtis, appellant, VS.. Abbie M. Under
wood, a minor, and &. b. Moore, her
guardian, respondents, an appeal from a
final Judgment in favor OF defendants
and an order denying new trial.
Plaintiff is the widow of Weeden I'm
derwood, having since his death married
j. +. Curtis. Abbie NJ. Underwood is the
child of Underwood. Plaintiff brought
action to quiet title to the undivided half
OF the estate, claiming it to be community
property.
The defendants presented the will Of
Underwood, which states that it was his
separate property, obtained before his
marriage, and leaves his wife s., 900 and
500 per month Tor two years. The will
was admitted TO probate without objec-
ton from her and the legacy and allow
ance were paid to and accepted by her.
The court holds that the notices having
been given as required by the code the
court acquired jurisdiction, and having
admitted the will to probate, and no ap-
peal having been taken. its action became
final as to plaintiff. The judgment and
order appealed from are affirmed.
A second case involving the same par
ties and the same causes is also affirmed.

POLICEMAN MEYER WAS TO BLAME

McGinniss Discharged for Hitting
the Policeman With shovel.
Michael McGinniss of Sixth and Grand
streets, Hobeken, was tried yesterday in the
Court of General Sessions on an indictment
for atrocious assault and battery ON Police
man Meyer of that city. The policeman said
that McGinniss had been carting ashes over
sidewalk and that he spilled some of it.
Never said he told McGinniss that he must
not cart any more ashes; that McGinniss be-
came impudent and said he would
do as he pleased McGinniss, accord
ing to the policeman, threatened him and
when Meyer raised his club, the ash man
struck him on the eye with shovel. QUITTING
it severely. McGinness ran away, but while
he was running Meyer drew his revolver and
shot McGinness in the back of the shoulder.
The fugitive clambered over fence and dis
appeared Meyer said the blood which
flowed from his cut blinded him so that he
could not give chase, but the next day Nc
Ginness was arrested by detective Gallagher.
The evidence of Meyer was partly COR
roborated by brother policeman, who testi-
fed that he had taken Meyer to his house
and washed the blood from his cut and band
aged it. x
McGinniss said that he had not been cart
ing ashes but was simply shoveling it into q
cart that stood in a lot thirty five feet from
the sidewalk While he was putting the dirt
in the cart Policeman Meyer came up to him
from behind and prodded him with
his club, at the same time saying
he must stop carting. McGinness
told Meyer not to prod him again
and denied that he was carting the ashes.
Meyer said that he had been carting and
again punched him with the club. McQinnis
said he told Meyer if he repeated the blow,
he would take hand in it himself. Meyer
raised his club to strike McGinnis and the
latter lifted his shovel to ward off the blow.
The club struck the shovel and that imple
ment accidentally hit the policeman on the
face. McGinniss said he did not attempt to
run away, but that he turned his back to-
ward Meyer, who drew revolver and shot
him in the back of the shoulder.
MeGinniss then fed, fearing he would be
killed He went to physician and had his
wound dressed, and the next morning went
to the police station and gave himself up.
Detective Gallagher then took him in Gus
tody.
One witness corroborated McGinniss and
declared the policeman shot twice at him.
After two hours deliberation, the jury re-
turned verdict of net guilty.

THE MINKAKWA CLUB.
Members Talk of Needed Improve
ments for GreeMville.

Members Talk of Needed lmpr0ve-
memts for GreeMvflIe.
The Minkakwa Club of Greenville met
last evening at the club rooms on Ocean
avenue, Greenville, and after completing
the arrangements for the annual dinner to-
morrow evening, discussed public improve
ments. The Sixth District Citizens I'm
provement Association, which at one time
was one Of the most active organizations in
the Greenvilie section, has become apathetie,
and the Minkakwa Club members, realizing
that 10 improvements will be secured for
the Greenville section, unless united effort
is made by the citizens, resolved to do the
work formerly done by the Citizens Associ-
alton.
The first matter that received the atten-
tien of the hustling republicans was that OF
broken sidewalks. The sidewalks in Green
vile are nearly all in q disgraceful condi-
tion, and the Minkakwa members are de-
ter1nined to find out who is to blame. Every
member present spoke on tbs matter and
special comment was made CD the fact that
Sidewalk Inspector Muldoon showed his
ceuntenance in the Greenville section but
once in three years. Had Phil been present
he would have heard a few uncomplhnen-
tary things said about himself. A resolu-
ton was finally passed requesting the Street
and Water Commissioners to compel Mr..
Muldoon to do his duty.
One of the members furnished the club
with the startling information that the
Brown place sewer is broken and that the
sewer is flowing into the Morris Canal. A
resolution was passed requesting the Health
Beard and the Street and Water Board to
act Immediately. The Brown place sewer is
, the main outlet to Greenville's sewage, and
the breaking Of the pipe IS a serious matter.
All the sewage of Greenville finds its way to
the New York Bay through this sewer, and
the residents have fears that the branch
mains will be choked. This is very
likely to occur unless the Street and Water
Commissioners repair it Immediately The
break, as far as can be learned, is in that
section of the main which lies on the bed of
the canal, and it will be an exceedingly diff
ficult matter to repair it.
The sewage matter passes into the canal
and the health of theresidents is endangered
The Health Beard will be urged to give the
matter. immediate attention. The sewer is
ct brick and is Ave feet in diameter. Breaks
of serious nature have been
found before, and Greenville residents have
often declared that the work was improperly

seMust the horses be old!" the Prosecutors
Assistant asked, seriously.
ssNot necessarily; but that is the kind that
is generally used. Young horses, unless they
break their legs or die from some cause, are
seldom used, They are more valuable allye ~ re-
than in sausage. No." said the melancholy
Adam, 'old horses are the ones generally
used''
The Prosecutors Assistant hunted up his
law books, and, after half an hours research,
he discovered that law in 1881 made it a
misdemeanor to manufacture food from ur-
wholesome material; and that law. he in
formed Mr.. Adam, probably included old or
sick horses.
