THE PARENT CLUB.
Republicans Organized at Shorts
Hall Last Night.

Hall Last Night.
The Republicans Of the Forty-eighth
Assembly District gathered in strong
force in Shorts Hall, on the corner OF
Bush and Fillmore streets, last night.
Over 800 residents of the district were
present.
The object Of the gathering was to start
the political ball rolling by the organiza-
ton of a parent club in the district
Should the Republican County Committee
decide to adopt the present method of
electing members of the conventions the
club organized last night will divide itself
into precinct clubs.
1t was expected that strong fight would
have been made last night for control OF
organ cation, as the district is one of the
most intiuent ial ones in the city in Repub-
lican politics, being the center of such
bodies as the well-known Bear and Eagle
clubs. A great row was predicted from
the fact that 1t was we'll known that
County Committeeman Jesse Marks and
Captain Young were striving very strenu-
0usly for supremacy in the district.
Before the meeting. however, the fight
was declared off, as compromise was
effected by satisfactory division of the
the officers. AS result the meeting was
most harmonious" one, and the events
on the programme went off as slick as
grease"
A. F. Sartain called the meeting to order
and stated that the object was to or
ganiZe a parent district club. Temporary
organization was effected, and the election
of officers was declared in order. There

THE ROAD WINS,
Trolley Wires May Be Put
Over the Street.
Judge Slack Decides That Mayor
Ellert Has No Right to an
Injunction.

Judge Slack has rendered an opinion
deciding against Mayor Ebert in his fight
against the Market-street Cable Company
j he Mayor objected to the use and en-
ployment of trolley wires on Mission str. ct.
which were to be used by the defendant
comiany for an electric railroad. 4 tenn.
porary injunction was obtained, and argu.
ments in the case held before Judge Slack.
To Mayor + lert's complaint the Market
street Company filed demurrer, on tue
principal ground that the complaint did
not state facts sufficient TO constitute a
cause of action. Besides, it was contended
that the franchise granted by the Board
Of Supervisors was absolute, in that II
gave the company full authority to estab-
lish the trolley system, as he only practi-
cal system of electrical railway.
In consideration of the prints at issue.
the main point was similar tn The cues ton
raised in the great s ring Wiley Water
Works suit, namely, as to whether or not
the Mayors approval is necessary for the
repeating Of an order. The Mayor con-
tended that il required the same Iegisla-
tive authority to repsal an order as to pass
an order. and that the Mayors approval
was as necessary to the one as the other
except, of course. In those special cases in
which an order may become law without
his approval.
Judge Slack. however, has decided other
wise. He drcides that the Mayor is not a
part of the legislative body of the city and
county, and that no order requires his ap-
prevail. except those provided by section
68 If the consolidation act, OF which a re-
pealng order, at least such a repeating or
der as this, is not one.
In the Spring Valley Water suit the Su.
pTeme Court decided that under the con-
soidatioD act the Board of Supervisors
was the legislative department of the
municipal government, although it was
provided therein that ordinances upon GER
tain enumerated subjects should mot he
effective unless approved by the Mayor.
But under that act also there were many
things which the board might do without
the concurrence of the Mayor.
Judge Slack found that the motive
power to be used by corporations formed
under the statute was in no way limited
or defined, and that where a corporation
is author Zed by general grant to exer-
else franchise or to carry on a business.
defining or limiting the powers which be
corporation may exercise, it will take. by
implication, all such powers as are rea.
sonably necessary to enable il to
accomplish the purposes of its creation.
He is of the opinion that the defendant
would, by force of the statute under
which it was organized. have right to
use electricity as its motive power.
In sustaining the demurrer and ordering
judgment TO be entered in favor of the
Market-street Company. Judge Slack de-
cides as a last point that, where a public
nuisance is threatened, the city and
county as a corporation, and not the
Mayor, is the proper party plaintiff to in
stitute a suit to restrain its creation.

The reception was a success IN every

to her establishment that nearly every
house in the neighborhoOd had maintained
a similar bereavement. In fact it might
be called an epidemic of dead cats. The
visitation came not from providence. how

series of atrocities which eliminated last
Monday in the lingering death OF Mrs

Now Mrs. O'Farrell lives at 36h Erie

Since that time nearly every lamp-p0st

pet cats OF the inhabitants. They don't

in the place. All these things have worked
together to induce Mrs. Doherty of II Erie
street to swear to a warrant on behalf of
her neighbors for the arrest of the boys.
Since their arrest a feeling of peace has
fallen over the place; the cats have been
cut down and given decent burial, and

boys, new roam around unmolested.
