THE HUNTER DEED
Case for the Widow Is
Now Closed.
The Executors and Heirs Represent.
ing the Defense Have Engaged
Sweeping Array of Lawyers.

Judge Seawell yesterday resumed the
hearing of the action brought by Mrs.
Joan N. G. Hunter against the executors
and heirs of the estate of her late hus band,
David Hunter, to establish deed by
which David Hunter in his lifetime trans
ferred all his property to his wife.
The testimony of Mrs. Hunter herself
was the most important part of the plain
titf's case. which came to close yester-
day. Mrs. Hunter made very good wit
ness. telling her story clearly and straight
forwardly. She showed how that David
Hunter was very anxious to avoid possible
litigation over his property after death.
and so executed this deed of all his prop
erty in favor of his wife, with the express
understanding that should anything hap
pen to him all Mrs. Hunter would have to
do would be to have thu deed recorded at
once aud take possession Of the property.
Mrs. Hunter knew nothing of any
change In her husbands intentions toward
informed that Hunter had demanded the
return of the deco from It's custodian, At
torney Tilden, and subsequently made a
| will, by which Mrs. Hunter inherited only
one-half of The estate Mrs. Hunter MAIN
tained, and now maintains, that her hus-
Danu neQ no authority 10 make any Sucn
| will, and that the deed of transfer. being
| mutual, was irrevocable without her con-
| sent. This is the issue at present on trial,
| and upon it hangs the fate of the will con-
| test to follow.
Other witnesses besides Mrs. Hunter
| testified that Hunter spoke to them of his
having decided the property tc his wife on
| the ground that he did not desire to have
any disgusting contest over his property
after his DEATH"
John II. Logan testified yesterday that
! he had frequently talked with Hunter
about the property. Hunter admitted that
| he had decided the property over to his
wife. He said: 81 did that because did
not want those - poor relatives OF mine
| 10 squa bble over the estate"
Mrs. Carrie Worth, a seamstress, testi-
fed that In January, 1898. she heard Mrs.
Hunter ask her husband to homestead the
| Van Ness property for her. Hunter re-
piled: There Is no need for that, as the
house is yours by deed, anyway"
WITH this testimony the case for the
plaintiff closed and as the defendants coun-
sci desired more time to prepare their de-
| Tense, Judge Seawell ordered the further
| hearing Of the matter to be continued un-
| til Tuesday next. So all the lawyers en-
gagged for the defense will lay their heads
together aud see what answer they are to
make 10 the statements of Mrs. Hunter
and her friends; and he defense is well
off In respect of counsel, too. for 1t is rep
resented by the following formidable array

President Dohrman of the Merchants

day TO explain that the people along

sion about the paving of that street, be-

PROGRESS TOWARD GOOD Gov
ERNMENT.

Some years ago under pressure of popu-
lar opinion and portion OF the press the
candidates for the County Clerkship were
pledged to conduct the Office for the sum
of $1,000 month or less. Ruddick and
Blattner went back On their pledges and
the people went back on them when cleo
ton day came around again. M. c. Haley,
the present County Clerk, faithfully kept
. his pledge. The result is that with
claim on the Democratic convention which
even Buckley could not ignore, and on the
people which the Non-Partisan convention
gladly recognized. he has two nominations
for reelection. 1t is case of reward of
merit. 1t marks substantial advance
toward good government by holding out
direct and sufficient inducement for Off
Gals to do their duty aud keep their
pledges.
The Sheriff Of San Francisco is sup
posed to have salary of $4,000 year, and
to turn his fees into the treasury. On the
contrary, for years he has been collecting
very large part of his fees. The fee bill
passed by the last Legislature, which COM
firms the limitation of the Sheriff's in

the new official year. II under Nor

which have prevailed In the Sheriff's Office
be corrected it will be distinct gain for
good government.
The set of popular opinion is indicated
by the pledge that has been taken by the
NOn-Partisan candidate for Surveyor.
The fees of this office have been out
rageously large. If Mr. Van der Naillen
be elected reform will be initiated that
hae been needed for many years.
Ali these facts point to a healthful agita-
ton of public sentiment in favor of
economy and clean local government.
There is revolt of decent citizens against
bosses, shysters and public corruptionists
and plunderers. 1t comes not with rush
and spasm of public Indignation, but with
a steady growing power which promises
well for its permanenoe.

A GREAT INVENTION.

"The centrifugal machine, one of
the grandest inventions ever made for
cheapening the cost of sugar, sprung
from the brain OF a Hawaiian me-
chanic, the late David NJ. Weston,
who was the engineer in the employ
of the Honolulu Flour Company, then
controlled by the writer III. NJ. Whit
ney). Simple as this invention is, its
origin was accidental, and was sug-
gested by the rapid drying of a wet
cloth spinning around on a burr
mill stone which was being set up in
the above mill about the year 1850" p
Planters Monthly.
This valuable discovery, the pro-
duct of an acute, thinking mind,
resembles another great discovery,
which is of great value in the arts,
the ''sand blast" The grinding OF
glass was a slow and tedious pro-
cess, until an inventor, walking
through a village on the sea shore,
noticed that the window panes ap-
peared to be ground" and he was
told that it was done by the force
of the sand hurled against them by
the wind. He, at once, devised
machine which produced the same
result.
Mr.. Weston was, also, the in
ventor of a centrifugal machine for
quickly separating cream from
milk. The invention was simulta-
neous with one, invented in Swe-
den, and the interests of the two
were united, with great profit to
the owners.

THE UNITED STATES INTERCEDEs.

The latest reports from Wash
ington say that Mr.. Cleveland has
offered to intercede between China
and Japan, but that japan has not
accepted the offer, though China
has. The feeling in Washington is
that the offer is premature, because
Japan, in the flush of victory, is in
no mood to make any terms, and
China is not ready to treat.
The European nations are, no
doubt, biding their time, and rather
resent the sole interference OF the
United States.
The war is now reaching an in
teresting and critical point. Port
Arthur, the seat Of the Chinese
navy yards, is now beseiged. While
the Japanese have the Chinese be-
fore them, they have the cold win
ter closing in behind them, which
may most seriously cripple them.
There is a growing feeling in
Europe and the United States, that
the many victories of the Japanese
may make them aggressive and i'm
pudent to the foreign nations.
While China is being badly Grip
pied by the Japanese forces, the
resources of her people have been
hardly touched, and their defeats
may result in the reorganization of
her forces in a very effective way.
