Jno. Joyner, colored wretch
living near Lewiston, BERTHE
county, broke into the residence
of JOS. Pugh Esq, one night last
week and went into the bed room
of Mrs. Pugh. Whatever his in
tentiOns were, were checked by
Mrs. Pugh awakening and rails
ing up. AS she did so he caught
her III his arms. She screamed
and awoke others in the house.
The ruffan ran but was recog-
nlzed by two or three. He was
caught and carried before a J., P.
and committed to Jail. Joyner
is a mean man, a heartless vii
liam, having killed one man: and
having been cut to pieces by one

This is the third time he has at
tempted this unlawful act and in
the same house, but sufficient
evidence could not be obtained.

FITCH. GOT JUDGMENT.
And Now McDonaId's Lawyers Seek
to Set It Aside.


Judge Hebbard has taken under advise
ment the motion made on behalf Of Dick
Mcdonald to have set aside the default
Judgment for $4,000 given in August last
against Mcdonald and other stockholders
oil the California RaisIn and Fruit Grow
ers' Association.
Ihls was suit growing out of the trou-
Ole surrounding the dissolution of the
racine Bank. The bank was interested In
The association, and Thomas Fitch Jr.
undertook journey East on behalf OF the
association 10 help market its securities.
subsequently he brought suit against the
bank TO recover $4,000 for his services,
and as no defense was set up Fitch secured
judgment by default.
1t was claimed by the defendants law
yers That the action had been lost sight OF
and that Mcdonald & Co. had Il first-c ass
defense TO the acton If they only had time
10 put II IN. They claimed TO hold letter
from FITCH wherein he stated that ne
thought ne ought tn receive $45. 600 Tor MS
services. Subsequently,, Through subtle
ways, ne procured a judgment Tor S4O,OOO.
Ought that Judgment 10 stand when there
was defense 10 the action?
On the other hand Fitch's attorney, S.
Z. benson. says that the action was
brought In April. SummOnses were Issued
and return made and the case ran along
TIL August. when judgment was entered
after the defendants had been In default
over four mouths. Absolutely no excuse
was put In by Mcdonald for his negligence.
There is no charge or suggestion OF fraud
in the affidavIis filed in the case. 1t Is left
TO Judge Hebbard tn decide.

MAGEE'S OPINIONS.
Interesting View of the
Realty Market.
No Great Improvement Possible Until
Present Conditions Change.
Remedy Proposed.

Thomas Magee's real estate circular for
November contains some very positive
opinions upon the San Francisco real es-
tate situation. From advance proofs the
following extracts are taken:
One of the largest buyers of real estate
in the city last mouth went down to look
at piece of property below Front street
and north of Market. which be had pur-
chased for S4S.5 500. He had been for some
time con sdering the purchase of another
proper in the wholesale district at over
$3.50, 900. BE had not gone through that
district for over q year and he was as
tonished to see so many stores empty and
such general evidence of dull trade. When
he was seen at his Office next day he said
that under no circumstances would he buy
any more wholesale business property at
present, and that until the effort to build
an opposition railroad through the San
JOAQUIN Valley succeeded he would buy
no moro real estate here. The reasons for
the decadence of wholesale business here
is not far 10 seek.
We are asked several times daily when
city real estate will improve. We may
here once for all give a general answer To
that question: II will not improve to any
general extent until something is done 10
change present conditions.
A new feature has been introduced into
the proceedings of the Board of Super
viSors not justified by law, In the ma tier
of making improvements on streets &C.
cepted by the city and county, whereby
the board is TO pay only a portion OF the
expense of repairs, and that only on con-
dition that the prOperty-owners pay the
balance. The city is TO pay only half OF
the cost or. less. In case of refusal on the
part of property-owners to thus submit to
be left in its WORKOUT condition, to the
great loss, inconvenience and damage OF
the properiy-Owners.
This action is wholly uncalled for and
unjust. The property-owner pays for the

worldly wise sister, Kate Desmond (Mrs.

character of Sir John in the second act
was a refreshing example of true acting.
