MURPHY GRANT REALTY,
It Will Be Sold Under an Order
of Court Within Sixty
Days.
G. H. Umbsen Chosen as Referee.
Expects to Realize Over Half
Million Dollars.

The Murphy-Grant property on the cor
ner of Sansome and Bush streets is to be
sold, by order of Judge Slack, within the
next sixty days. The order was entered
yesterday in pursuance of the arguments
which have been made by counsel for
some time past. G. II. Umbsen. the real
estate man. was agreed upon by all parties
as the one to conduct the sale, and he was
accordingly appointed referee.
The suit in which this decree has been
entered was brought by Adam Grant. He
sued to have sold all the property in which
the Grant estate and the Murphy estate
had title. This suit was opposed by the
Murphy girls, or all but Lady Wolseley,
and was favored by the boys, Sam and
Daniel. The gro und for the opposition
was that the int erests of the Murphy girls
in this property, which is determined by
their mothers will, is still matter of
litigation in the Oakland courts The
will of Mrs. Anna Murphy is before the
courts. and until it was established or
broken it was claimed that none of the
property of the estate could be sold.
The case was on argument several days
before Judge Slack, and the action last
taken is in the nature of an interlocutory
decree which, while ordering the property
| sold, does not attempt to adludicate the
various claims against it. The proceeds of
| the sale will be turned in to the court.
The property consists of the fifty-vara
| lot on the northeast corner of Sansome
| and Bush streets, upon which the Murphy
Grant building now stards. 1t is valued
at from $500, 900 to $3.50, 900 and the inter
ests of the parties concerned differ almost
as often as new claimant can be named
Adam Grant will get fourteen twenty
fourths of the proceeds of the sale; one
twenty-fourth will go to the estate of Eu-
gene l.. Murphy; one twenty-fourth to Mary
Helen Dominguez formerly Mary Helen
Murphy); one twenty-fourth to Frances
Josephine Murphy; one twenty-fourth to
Mary Margaret Isabella Murphy, and six
twenty-fourths TO those who are entitled
to the real estate of which Anna L. Muir
ply died seized, that is to say to Mary
Helen Dominguez, Frances Josephine
Murphy, Mary Margaret Isabella Murphy,
Anna T. Wokeley formerly Anna r.
Murphy, David T. Murphy, Samuel J.
Murphy, Mary B. Murphy Eugene Besson
Murphy and Charles Murphy. The inter-
ests of all these are now under litigation
in the Oakland court, and Judge Slack
makes no attempt to adjudicate upon
them.
Part of the property, described as hav-
ing a frontage on Bush street of 1871 :6 feet
and on Sansome of so feet, will be sold
subject to lease now held by Victor H.
Metcalf as administrator of the estate of
Anna Murphy. The lease will run until
January, 1897, and pays $1,000 month.

A coLoRADo CONFESSION.
An Editor Throws OF His Free silver
Mask and Tells the Truth.

The seeds Of sound currency and like
wise Of sound sense are taking root even
when soWn in stony places The Duran
20 Democrat Of Colorado, which has
been 'fvhogping it mp for free silver
and the mine owners, took a turn which
must have surprised its readers and have
dumfouaded the gold contract silver
mine owners. It's leading editorial was
headed "A Confession Trung From Con
science" In this editorial the writer
throws OF the silver cloak disguise and
asserts his manhood The following is
q part Of this interesting editorial:
Kentucky has spoken. Her honest
stroke in support Of the gold standard
sounds the kneIl Of the silver humbug
within her borders and sets a good ex-
ample for other states.
sit is time, for the sake Of Colorado's
reputation for honesty, il not for COM
mon sense, that some one in authority
should disabuse the minds Of eastern
and foreign investors Of the notion that
this whole state has run silver mad 1t
Is true that The Democrat has joined
with other newspapers in Colorado, for
reasons which need not be specified here,
In booming silver, while everybody
knew that it was steadily and i~rresist-
IDLY On Its way down hill But the
limit has been reached Conscience re-
volts, as decency long ago reyolted,
against carrying On this fraud any
longer, The political ends to be gained
by it sink into in4gnifcance when con-
trasted with the damage which is bound
TO result from ii in the long run"
The rest Of the article is a clear COM
mon sense exposition Of the certain
operation Of free coinage as a "debt
scaling" scheme, and of the effect upon
Colorado Of continuing to advocate that
scheme. 1t shows how hopelessly any
business maj would be discredited who
should adopt any such principle and de-
clares that communities, whether states
or nations, must suffer in the same way,
and it adds;
"But since for once The Democrat is
permitting itself the luxury of telling
the truth on the silver question let us
make still a further admission. Wecan-
not, by any hocus pocus or tomfoolery,
by any false estimates Of our own
strength, by any brag or buster or
empty swagger, prevent the old world
from collecting every dollar, every
dime, every cents worth Of debt due
from us, with full interest to date Of
payment"
The result must be that, if free silver
were successful, only Americans would
be cheated The process by which Colo
RADIO has been kept in "the front rank
in the past as a silver state'' is described
''not in bitterness, but in sorrow" for
"The Democrat is ashamed Of itself for
having lent its influence so long to the
perpetuation Of the humbug," But the
end is coming. The article CLOSES 8 fol
lows: "But there is not an intelligent and
educated reader within reach Of these
lines who does not know that every
word we have penned is downright,
solid, unassailable truth. Bankers, mer-
chants, mechanics, farmers-we do not
rule out any Of these classes, In their
innermost hearts they know that we are
unfolding national honor against dis
honor, national credit against contempt,
national prosperity against failure"

country was thrown into excitement By

Frank Melbourne had discovered a
method Of bringing rain cat Of clear

prairies the news was especially crafty

fetal moisture was Of tho greatest in

after the rainmaker had sent up a bal

gases out q machine which he carried

iority Of cases no rain fell, and the peo-
pie lost their money. Even when it did
rain no sensible man believed that it
had been brought BY the bo1nhardment

that he cannot and never could make
rain, saying in a recent interview;
"There is no such thing as making rain.
