WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A STORY OF GRANT.
His Gentleness and Courtesy TO the Mother

His Gentlencss and Courtesy TO the Mother
of Confederate Soldiers.
On a cold morning in February, 1864,
two or three miles from Richmond,
KY. along the Big Hill pike in the di-
rection of Cumberland gap, some men
were shooting at rabbit with pistols.
Suddenly union cavalryman dashed
up to the party, eyed them carefully
and rode away. In moment the
officer and dozen others were seen
coming toward Richmond. A little be-
hind was another party of perhaps a
dozen cavalrymen. One OF them was
evidently general, but nothing was
said by either the soldiers or sports
men. A little way up the road is the
village of Rogersville, where Jew
kept store. He said that the general
had halted long enough to purchase
and drink bottle of Schiedam
schnapps, but the identity of the gen.
eral was still unknown.
At Big Hill, however, the problem
was solved. Big Hill is the dividing
line between the Bluegrass and the
mountains and one Merritt Jones kept
there tavern for the accommodation
of the travelling public. There were
then no railroads in this part of the
state nearer than Lexington. Mr..
Jones and his sons were absent in the
confederate army, and his wife and
younger children kept the tavern.
Late in the afternoon of the day be-
fore cavalry officer had come hurried
ly up from the direction of the Gap and
announced to the Jones household that
Gen. Grant was coming to spend the
night; that they must prepare for him
a good supper, with all the silverware,
and to be particular to have nice
warm room ready for the general about
one hour from that time. In fact the
officer demanded the best of every ything
they had Mrs. Jones was ill, and the
dictatorial manner of the officer made
her exceedingly nervous. She thought
of her husband and sons in the far
away south, and feared that it would
not be we'll with her should the union
lists discover her to be rebel sympa
thizer. Much disturbed she retired tc
her room and bed, and directed the
children to do the best they could fol
the generals party.
In a few minutes the advance guarC
of eight or ten men arrived, and theil
boisterous manner increased Mrs
Jones' alarm. The hour was short ant
Gen. Grant and staff came. There wa
marked change; all was quiet and or
derly among the men; supper was sool
over, and the guests asleep. Whel
Gen. Grant arose next morning a mic
breakfast awaited him. After break
fast Gen. Grant asked Mrs Jones' littl
daughter where her father was. He i

where is your mother?" he asked
''She's in her room, sick" said the lit
tie girl. Can l see her?" asked th
general, "a wish to bid her good-by.
The door was opened, the little CIR
led the way, and Gen. Grant was in tn
presence of the mother of several c
Gen. John ii. Morgap's most gallan
confederates.
Gen. Grant said to her: II am tol

dered that our bill for the nights lodg-
ing be promptly paid you. You will
now allow me to bid you good-by." At
this he shook her hand and bowed him
self out, his staff in turns shaking
hands with the good lady.
ThS indication of kindly feeling on
the part of Gen. Grant made many
friends in Madison county for the great
union general
The general had been transferred
from the army of the Cumberland to
the army of the Potomac, and rode

that Judge Hunt was expected to have re-
turned on July 25, as his leave of absence
expired on that date.
So much for that.
K. M. Smith, the complainant, said yes
terday afternoon: 'It seems very singular
to me that simple Endorsement on the
complaint, which is not dated, can over
ride an order properly made in open court"
The order is as follows:
In the Superior Court of the City and County
OF San Francisco, State of California
In the matter OF public officials and accusa-
ton presented to said court by X. M. Smith vs.
Joseph King eft al.
In the matter of the accusation of Joseph
King ct al. 1t appears that verified accusa-
ton in writing has this day been presented to
this court by K. NJ Smith against Joseph King,
Hirsch, Edward C. Hughes, Chris bunker,
Alfred w. Morgenstern and Edward L. Wag-
ner, being public officials and members of the
Board OF Supervisors, it is hereby ordered that
court directed to the said officers and persons
named, returnable on Wednesday, the 31st day
OF July, 1898, at 10 A. NJ. of that day, before
Department 10 of this court.
A. A. SANDERsoN,
Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the
City. and County of San Francisco, State of
California.
Now. there can have been no mistake
about that" said Mr. Smith; 1.-The figure
l0 is very plain, and the defendants SO
understood it, for they came in with their
demurrer to-day In Department 10. I was
not notlhed OF the change of court, and as
the court refused to hear argument, had
to submit. 1t looks to me as if this is
merely an attempt to confuse matters with
view to delay, and give the defendants
an opportunity to come into court and ask
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-01
: DEPARTMENT 5,
SANDERSON.

This was conflicting, OF course. Smith
went back to court and reported. He said
that the formal order of the court sent the
case to Department 10-there could be no
doubt about that A mere Endorsement
on the complaint should not override the
courts order.
II know that Judge Sanderson intended
to assign this case to Department s." said
Judge Slack. He told me so himself. So
signing it to that department myself, in
the absence of Judge Sanderson, who is
away on his vacation"
So that was all there was to it. The
Supervisors and the attorneys rose and
filed out of court.
Judge Hunt is also away on his vaca-
ton. He will not return until next Mon
day, and the case will come up on that day
at 10 o'clock
After the court adjourned, Judge Slack
was asked if such errors in assigning cases
were common.
He said that they did not often occur,
but he knew this was an error because
Judge Sanderson, meeting MIN in the hall
way, had told him so-told him that he
meant to assign it to Department 5.
''Will such statement or an indorse-
ment that has 10 date, or that assigns no
date for the return-will that override a
formal order ofthe court, signed and dated
in regular form?''
Judge Slack said "Oh, yes; the indorse-
ment carries the case-it is the indorse-
ment on the complaint that is made first" i"
The Judges attention was called to the
fact that Judge Hunt was out of town, and
therefore could not have heard the case to-
day; that he was away on his vacation at
the time Judge Sanderson made the order.
Judge Slack explained this by saying
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-01

There Seems to Have Been
Error in Assigning the
Case.
IT GOES TO JUDGE HUNT.
He VIII Hear 1t Next Monday Upon
His Return to the City-De-
fendants' Answer.

The hearing upon the accusation of K.
M. Smith against the members of the Solid
Eight for malfeasance in office was fixed
to come up before Judge Slack, Depart
ment TO- Yesterday morning.
And SO it did come up, but was not
heard.
All the members of the Eight were there
sitting IN row round the railing:
Joseph King, First Ward;
Peter A. Scul1y, Second Ward;
Charles +. Benjamin, Third Ward;
Alphonse Hirsch, Fourth Ward
Edward c. Hughes, Sixth Ward;
Chris bunker, Seventh Ward;
Alfred w. Morgenstern, Ninth Ward;
Edward L. Wagner, Twelfth Ward;
General John H. Dickinson was there as
attorney for the accused. He filed the de-
murrer and the answer which The CALL of
yesterday said he would, and then K. NJ.
Smith, the accuser, rose to say that he
would not oppose the demurrer, but that
he desired to file an amended complaint.
Then Judge Slack sprung surprise.
He said that he did not expect to hear the
case-would not hear it, as it had not
been assigned to his department.
Smith said that Presiding Judge San
derson had certainly made an order as
signing the case to Department 10.
1T is an error" said Judge Slack. "He
intended to assign it to Department 5, l
know"
''If you will allow me few minutes /
would like to look at the records said
Smith.
The court consented and Smith hurried
to the clerks office. There he found the

keeper at sol Grove street, emphatically
declared that he was opposed to the death
penalty, and that the opposition was
occasioned by conscientious scruples. He
was challenged by the District Attorney
and excused.
Asa Fisk was next examined, and IN
answer to the question touching upon his
belief regarding the death penalty he said
that he had no scruples whatever, and
that he would permit himself to be gov
erned by circum stantial evidence.
In answer to Mr.. Deuprey he stated that
ne knew most all the attorneys present;
that Mr. Deuprey was at one time his
legal adviser, and that he had done busi-
ness with Mr.. Dickinson several times.
This provoked considerable laughter, and
his Honor brought down his gavel and
thundered out a command for silence,
whereupon Mr.. Fisk said something about
knowing the Judge also.
Mr.. Deuprey asked Mr.. Fisk whether or
not his nearing was detective and Mr.. Fisk
assured him that it was. Mr.. Deuprey
then challenged the talesman and it was
allowed.
Arrata Angelic was excused by consent
owing to his ignorance of the language.
Adolph Hober, a distiller 2110 Devisa-
dero street, was asked by Attorney Peixotto
whether he was opposed to the death pen
atty where circumstantial evidence was
submitted and Mr.. Hober stated that he
was not if the evidence was strong enough.
Have you formed an opinion from what
you have read 2" said Mr.. Deuprey.
"Yes, very strong one"

that the proceedings be dismissed on the
ground that the matter had not been heard
within twenty days, the time allowed by
law.
IF the demurrer is sustained, it will suit
me, for intend to file new complaint for
the purpose of covering technical error
of pleading"
The demurrer filed by General Dickin-
son for the accused Supervisors declares
that X. M. Smith has no legal capacity to
sue in this matter. " for the reason that no
accusation can be made except by Grand
Jury; that there has been a misjoinder of
parties defendant, twelve being named to
remove eight, and no misdemeanor or
rong-doing being charged against the
four: that several causes of action have
been improperly united" etc.

Capitalists Who loan Money.

For their own protection capitalists who loan
money on real estate should insist on the title
being insured by the California Title Insur-
ance and Trust Company. A policy in that
company is aperpetual guarantee that the title
is perfect, and money loaned on real estate
thus insured cannot be lost. The company has
q capital of $3.50, 900 fully paid up and a cash
reserve fund of $25 900, which amply secures
every policy holder. The cost of insurance is
trifling when the protection TO the MORTGAGE is
considered. Capitalists will consult their own
safety when they insist on insurance tor all
real estate upon which they loan money.
