UNION STOCK YARD CASE.
B. Fernandez Will Sue P. Tor.
mey for Sixty Thousand
Dollars.
Tormey Is the President of the Yards
and Is Said to Have Borrowed
Freely.

Bernardo Fernandez, wealthy Span
lard of Contra Costa County, is about to
bring suit in foreclosure of mortgage
of $50, 742 II against Petrich Tormey, presi-
dent of the Union Stockyards at Rodeo, a
few miles from Vallejo.
Gunnison, Booth & Bartnett are attor-
neys for the plaintiff. The suit, which is
very complicated, is supposed to be an
outgrowth of the foreclosure on the $780,
600 bonds of the company of which suit
the same legal firm had charge as attor-
neys for the Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany.
The mortgage was made by Tormey in
August, 1893, to secure the plaintiff, Fer
nandez, on promlssory note in the
amount named. 1t covers lands situate
in Contra Costa County, and was made to
occur by reason of his assigning certain
note executed by Annie Tormey in the
sum of 0,000 to Harry Rogers.
1t seems that Tormey, as president of the
Union Stockyard Company, according to
the statement of the attorneys, had occa-
sion to borrow money from Rogers. The
loans were in large amounts. Fernandez,
the wealthy Spanish landowner. came to
the assistance of his friend Tormey and as
sumed the payment of several notes and
claims. Among the latter was one of $4,000
held by the Commercial Bank of Vallejo,
which the plaintiff in his complaint, says
has been paid. 1t is further set forth that
the defendant Tormey has been requested
to make good his obligations, but has
failed to do SO, and hence the numerous
transfers and retransfers of notes and as
signment of divers claims back and forth
will give the lawyers considerable work in
uprayelinp the com DlicatiOns in the case
During the progress OF the suit many in
teresting facts concerning the Union Stock
yard Company will doubtless be brought

NEW HOWELL JUROR.
Simon III. Dikeman the Eleventh Man
Selected to Sit in the Counter
feittng Case.

One more juror in the Howell counter
feiting case was secured yesterday and
then Judge Morrow's court was adjourned
until this morning, leaving one more
juror still to be secured.
Simon II. Dikeman, retired mining
man who resides at Berkeley, was the
eleventh man chosen. He is an elderly
gentleman and confessed to a mind that
was almost entirely a blank so far as the
case of the United States against Martin
d. Howell, charged with counterfeiting,
is concerned.
Among the talesmen examined yester-
day was n. w. Spaulding, the manu-
facturer. He qualified to the entire salts
faction OF the defense, but said that he was
one of the bondsmen for Benson, whose
trial is now pending in this court for land
frauds. He was excused peremptorily by
the Government.

WATT FOR THE BEST
Companies Owning the Best Instru-
ments Have Bccn Invited TO SUBJ
mit Propositions.

The Board of Public Works is not salts
fed with the two propositions which have
been made to the city for telephone fran
chises Mr. HoIton president OF the board
was told yesterday that the companies hav-
ing the best instruments have not yet en-
tered the field and he was advised to ask
for competition. Acting accordingly the
board yesterday afternoon sent out letters
to half a dozen companies asking them to
make offers on a telephone franchise in this
city and to send one more OF their in
struments here for trial. The different tele-
phones will be tried and an expert will be
called upon to pass Judgment upon their
respective merits.
The board has outlined and City At
torney Scott is putting into shape, an
ordinance requiring that all telephone, tele
graph and electric light wires IN the center
of the city shall be put under ground by
January, 1896. The new ordinance will prob
ably be introduced next Monday night. 1t
provides that all wires within the district
bounded by North, East, South and West
wires can be placed under ground except
upon a permit Of the board. The board will
have control of all wires and no company
can run its wires through sewer without
permission, neither can one company lay
wires in the conduit of another without
permission. If companies fail to have their
wires under ground by the time fixed, they
may be compelled to pay penalty of s.
to $50 for each days failure.

NYE OPPOSES FREE SILVER.
He Takes n Directly Opposite Stand
to Governor Matthews.

Lieutenant Governor Nye said yesterday
that Postmaster Hesings statement in Chi
cago that 80 per cent of the German voters
of the country are against the free coinage
of silver is well taken.
81 do not believe he continued, shat
even per cent. of the German voters of the
country believe in free silver. They are in
clined rather to follow the lead of John Sher
man than of any free silver man, and Sher-
man has always had their support in Ohio,
which accounts in part for his success in the
politics of that State
The remarks OF the Lieutenant Governor
place him in direct opposition to Governor
Matthews, with whom he has crossed
swords before on the silver question. This
opposition marks the lines of the party divi-
sion that is to succeed the old copper cent"
faction, which figured in the campaign of
1892, when the issue was the tariff. Lieu
tenant Governor Nye is averse to being
candidate for Governor next year, as stated
in the Journal yesterday, because of the
small chance of success, but it is likely,
politicians say, that he will be forced to the
front, and that about the only two candid
ates before the Democratic convention will

Major Defrees u s. A.. and colonel of

G. Kemp, at Vineennes, will also attend the

thought, and may be at Broad Ripple.
It Will be the first encampment since the
new law changing the name of the militia
was passed and the soldier boys will learn
something Of the realities of camp life.
The regulations are of professional soldier
character and win make the week spent in
camp one of discipline. General Mckee,
Colonel Ross. Captain Curtis and Major
Defrees are at work upon "a book of army
regulations similar to that of the regular
army, explanatory of the law and de-
scriptive of all of the duties of the troops

NOT WORTH THE TIME
WHY MIR. ALLEN DID NOT GO TO THE
CONSUMERS TRUST OFFICE.
Poor Sort of an Investigation He
Thought-CounciI VIII Demand
n Report.

The subcommittee appointed by the gas

of the Consumers Trust has fulfilled its
mission, but learned little in addition to
what the members already know. Council
man Allen, a member of the subcommittee.
was not present when the visit was made
to the gas office. Last evening he gave as
reason that he believed it useless to
make thirty minutes survey Of the books
of the company. He said:
1T is impossible for a committee to OBJ
tain any satisfactory information by looking
at books, covering five years time. I did
not think 1t worth my time to accompany
the committee. The. company, upon such
a meager examination, could show what few
figures they wished and the best book
keeper living could not tell in SO short a
time anything definite
.sWere you asked to accompany the COM
mitteeg' was asked.
II knew that the members were going
down to the office, but that was not my way
of conducting an investigation"
1t is pretty we'll understood by Mr.. Aliens
statements before the committee, that he
is i'm favor of having the accounts Of the
company gone over by an expert or else
by the committee at length. He thinks
it will take some study to tell from the
as well as the Expenditures and the number
of stockholders. A member of the Council
criticised the committee last evening, say
ing that the members have allowed John
r. Frenzel to manage it. Mr.. F'renzel did
most of the talking at the last meeting,
he said, and it was Mr.. Frenzeps sugges-
ton that the committee visit the Trusts
office but this particular member Of the
Council thought the committee should de-
mand that the books of the. concern be
brought to them. 1T is more than probable
that the Council at the meeting Monday
night will demand a report upon the work
which has been accomplished and the COM
mittee has very little report to make.
To the subcommittee the company turned
over the reports of the last seven years,
which have been published from time to
time. Ending October. 1894, they show that
the earnings of the company have bene

furnished with figures showing what other

appear that indianapolis is getting gas
