THEY Go BACK.
Fair Slaves With Stolen
Certificates.
Did Not Know That Their Mother
Had Small Feet-Their Uncles
Did Not Know Them.

Two little maids with fair faces and
false tongues came from China on the
steamer Belgic four weeks ago and claimed
the right 10 land on the ground that they
were the daughters, born in California, of
All Gooey. wealthy pagan, who returned
with his family to Ch ina in 1889 and died
there. The girls had the certificates given
to All Gooey's daughters, Chin Toy Nee
and Chin Kee, when they went with him
to their native land, but when Collector
Wise looked at the photograph on the
papers and then looked at the faces of the
girls he found little in either that was like
the other. He refused to land the girls
and their friends or owners secured writs
of habeas corpus for them in the United
States court
In due time the girls ana their Attorney
Tom Riordan appeared before Commits
sioner Heacock tn prove that they were
the daughters of old All Gooey, who
amassed his wealth ut San Pedro Point.
Two white witnesses. G. Jewell and Rich
ard Bulls of San Rafael, swore that they
knew the two gills and knew that they
were the daughters of All Gooey.
Now the wife of All Gooey was a small
footed woman, but the girls when ques-
toned declared that their mother had
large feet. Their answer had depressing
effect upon their attorney. Then the
Government called E. B. McNear, the
capitalist. who knows all about San Pedro
and the Chinese who dwell there He
knew All Gooey's wife and knew that her
feet were small. "WEy." he said, II have
often had her feet in my hand"
But the Government had two witnesses
who were of even greater importance than
Mr.. McNear. They were Shin Mau Jan
and Shin Fooh Lin. brothers of the de-
ceased All GOoey, who had inst heen
landed from the steamer Peru. Inter

left the girls in China"
The two unees looked at the girls In

clared that they were frauds who in some
way had obtained the certificates that
were given to the girls who are in China.

DARBY-LAYDON CONTRACT.
Mayor EIlert Notifies the Firm 1t Is
Void i'm Law.

Mayor Ellert officially notified the firm
of Darby, Laydon & Co. yesterday that
the contract entered into by them to repair
Spear street, between Harrison and Bryant,
is void, for the reason that Supervisor
Dundon is member of the firm. and the
Supervisor must ultimately pass on the
authorization. Supervisor Dundon's at
torney claims that the contract was entered
into by Darby. Laydon & Co. with the
Mayor, and not the Supervisors. and that
Mr.. Dundon knew nothing of it; that the
firm was the lowest bidder, anc the Mayor
was responsible for the work.
Mayor Ellert held. however. that the law
prohibited such a contract because the
Supervisors ultimately passed upon the
authorization. He said he regretted that
such hardship should be imposed on the
firm as he understood the work was al
most entirely done. amounting to $4,000.
II wish it distinctly understood that there
has been no charge of fraud or misreDresen-
tation on the part of Supervisor Dnndon.
and he is entirely blameless in the matter.
1t is merely proposition OF cold law"
The Board of Supervisors will consider
the matter on communication from
the Mayor next Monday, and will
refer the matter to the City and County
Attorney.

the democrats in Congress could have
things their own way, but they cant OF

the body is at the mercy of Reed and
his minions, vino fillibuster and hold
high carnival, to the disgust OF the peo-
pie and the humiliation OF the majority.
Many means to secure quorum have
been suggested, such as timing absent
members or deducting their per diem,

adopted finally, if the democrats ever DO

party in a worse fix every day.

EVERY FRIDAY.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS That
the sum the jury says that Col. W. G. p
Breckenridge must pay Miss Madeline
Pollard for breach of promise of MARI
age, made publicly after nine years Of con-
cubinage with her. The verdict is in the
nature of vindcation of her, il that was
all she was after. She'll never get any
money out of il, as willie" has none,
and you can not get blood out of tur-
nip. The closing scenes OF the trial were
crowded with sensations. Attorney
Wilson charged Lawyer Stoll, a Ken
tuckisn, be gswd, sir, and Lexington
ian at that, with forging the famous let
tar which cut such figure in the trial,
aud a duel seemed imminent, till Will
son made an apology and a correction.
His speech was terrific arraignEent of
the defendant, whom he literally flayed
alive. The case was given to the jury
after five long weeks of trial, at 3 p. NJ
Saturday and in an hour and half they
filed back into the court room with a
verdict made by adding up what each
man thought the woman ought to have
and dividing by -. IL is said that one
man was for only 81, while one or two
was for the full amount. The colonel
moved for new trial, but it was likely |
a bluff. He ought to have enough OF it, |
and probably hiss. 1t was idiocy to go |
into trial with such a plea as he put up |
1t was an infamous one, made doubly so |
by Little Phil Thompson's disgusting
appeal to the brute instincts. The Judge
didn't call his name, but he took occa-
sion to mention him in his instructions
in way he must despise. 1t would
seem that the colone's goose, which was
cooked before, is burnt now, but he has
relaxed none of the rigidity of his upper
lip, and still says he is in the Congress
sional fight to stay to the bitter end. His
constituents will doubtless drive the last
nail in the coffin OF this dead cock in the
pit and inter his bones unwept, unhon-
ored and unsung. 1t is sad that one so
gifted should find a death so iguoble,
when ne might have been in the zenith
OF his fauie. He deserves his punish
ment, but Miss Pollard is entitled to lit
tie commiseration. Her whole life has /
been one of duplicity, double dealing
and depravity and her yindication in ,
measure will encourage other designing
to go and do likewise. 1t would ,
be well if both could be buried in for
gotten grave. ,
