PAID THE JUDGMENT.
How Ann GaIlagher's Suit for Damage
Was Settled.

How Ann Gal1agher's Suit for Damages
Was Settled.
The suit of Mrs. Ann Gallagher for $780,
600 for the death of her husband, who was
killed by Southern Pacific train at the in
tersection of Sixteenth and Channel streets
and Potrero avenue, has been settled with
out being finally given to the jury. By the
settlement the Southern Pacific will pay a
previous Judgment against the Omnibus
for $500 allowed in the same case.
Suit was originally brought against both
the Omnibus and the Southern Pacific COM
panies, as Gallagher was riding in an Om-
nlbus car when the train struck it and
killed him. The suit was brought in Judge
Stacks court and he ordered a nonsuit en-
tered in the case of the Southern Pacific and
tried the case against the Omnibus COM
pany. The jury rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff for $500.
Suit was again brought against the South
ern Pacific, this time in Judge Hunts
court, but yesterday morning Matt Sulli-
van, attorney for the plaintiff, accepted an
offer to drop the case if the Southern Pa
cltic would pay the former Judgment at
2nce. The amount to be received by Mrs,
Gallagher is not less than $780,

HEAVY DAMAGES DEMANDED
v. Il. Henry Has Sued the City o.
Sacramento.
The City Trustees Refused to Allow Hin
to Carry Ont a Contract for
Supplying Water.

An action was begun in the United States
Circuit Court yesterday which brings to
light once more the proposition of nearly
two years ago to supply the city of Sacra-
mento with water and for which the people
there voted at a special election.
The plaintiff is w. E. Henry of n Nebraska
and the defendant in the action is the city
of Sacramento. It is set forth in the COM
plant that on September IL, 1898, there
was a contract entered into by the city and
A. L. Fish whereby the latter was to fur
nish the municipality with pure and whole
some water. The contract was for twenty
years, at the expiration of which time the
city was to have the privilege of purchas-
ing the entire plant. The system was to
consist of series Of wells near Oak Park
in Sacramento County, and the price and
capital were agreed upon, all of which APP
peared to be satisfactory to the people OF
the city, for at special election held upon
the proposition to issue bonds to carry out
the project they expressed their approval
by their votes.
The hitch came when the matter was
taken before the City Trustees, as they re-
fused to carry out the contract. In March
last Fish transferred his right in the con-
tract to J. II. Henry, the electric-railroad
builder, and A. Abbott, and they in turn
assigned it to w. q. Henry, the present
plaintiff. He asserts that he is willing to
carry out the contract and construct the
works and supply good water, as per the
agreement, but that the Trustees refuse to
allow him to proceed in the matter. By
reason of their refusal to allow the laying
of pipes IN the city and the performance of
other work Henry claims that he has been
damaged in the sum of 1868, 2S5, and iudg-
ment is asked for that amount.

DIVORCE LAWS.
Ministers to Cooperate for Their
Amendment.

Ministers to Cooperate for Their
Amendments.
At the meeting of the Presbyterian Min
isterial Union last week a communication
was received from the Glorious of Protes-
tant Episcopal ministers of this city, asking
the cooperation of the union in some CON
templated efforts to secure amendments to
the divorce laws of the State, rendering
them less loose than they are, and also to
obtain more strict enforcement of exist
ing laws upon the subject. The communi-
cation having been referred to the execu-
tive committee that committee reported
upon it at the meeting of the union yester-
day morning, recommending that the CO.
operation asked for be given. After some
debate the Importance of the subject, in
the minds of the members, was made so
apparent that it was decided to defer action
upon 1t and to make it the regular theme
for formal discussion OF future meeting.
The committee on civic reform reported
the organization of the Civic Federation,
and recommended the election of three
delegates by the union to represent it in
the federation. The recommendation was
adopted, and the following were elected as
the delegates: Rev. ID. Hanson Irwin, Rev.
Joseph e. Scott and Rev. ]. c. Smith.
Laurence Gronlund gave an address on
''The Moral Aspects of Socialism," and
was thanked for it by the union. He thinks
that the prevalence of genuine socialism in
the form of what he calls ''collectiyismo
will work out the moral regeneration of
society, remove all the social evils and
bring about the 'good time coming for
which we have been so long and eagerly
waiting. "Functionism, which seems to
be the proper performance of his duty as a
citizen by each individual, in the sphere
which he occupies, is apparently TO play an
and ''egoism," of the legitimate kind, is to
develop into genuine "Altruism," which
will secure to each one his rights and render
everybody happy.

students in the Cooper Medical College, is

AGAINST THE CITY.
A Demurrer Entered in the Hurst Ca
OVeFruled.

A Demurrer Entered in the Hurst Case
Overruled.
Judge Murphy has overruled the de,
murrer entered by the city to the answer
of the defendant in the case OF the city
against James Hurst, and the case will
probably be taken to the Supreme Court
upon that point.
The case is one growing out of the
financial stringency which seized the city
last year. a horse and buggy belonging TO
the Superintendent of the Fire Alarm and
Police Telegraph was left at Hurst's stable
TO be cared for, and due care was given
them until Hurst presented the bill for
$64, which the city declined to pay because
there was no money in the treasury.
When next the superintendent wanted his
buggy Hurst refused to allow it or the
horse to leave the stable until he had been
paid. As Hurst was firm and the city was
still financially stranded City and County
Attorney Creswell was instructed to bring
suit for possession of the horse and buggy
and for damages amounting to over $500
incurred by the city being compelled to hire
another horse and buggy for the Superin-
tendent OF the Fire Alarm and Police
Telegraph.
Hurst answered the complaint, setting
forth his side Of the case, and the demurrer
to this answer, which the city entered, has
just been overruled. 1t is probable that
upon this everything of the demurrer the
case will be taken to the Supreme Court in
order to obtain a decision from that body
as soon as possible.

THE GHOST DID NOT WALK.

$500 Stolen.

"The Operator Company, which has

financial difficulties The ghost did not
walk on Sunday night last, and in conse-
quence the Newell Brothers, 'the twin

with their employees.
It appears that there was enough money
on hand to pay everybody, but some time
on Sunday William Newells trunk was
robbed of 800 and he was left with only 40
cents in the world. His explanation was
as follows: at was bad week. 1t rained
every night and the houses were in conse-
quence small. Itwas depressing enough to
have to play to small audiences, but when
you find the entire proceeds of weeks
work stolen from you human nature gives

swearing. l was forced to put off paying
my company from Saturday to Sunday,
and only few of them received advances
during the week. On Sunday 500 in five
rolls OF $40 each and a few odd dollars were
sent down to me. The rolls locked up in
my trunk and went on with the play.
During the last act had to get something
from the trunk, and left the KEY in the

was gone. In the circumstances | couldn't

TO CONTEST THE WILL
Undue Influence Alleged by the
Heirs at Law.
Relatives Of James A. Bradley Believe
He Was Induced to Deed Away
His Property.

James 4. Bradley's will was filed yester-
day, and with it was filed a petition from
Richard Bradley, nephew of the deceased,
for special letters of administration to be
granted him, and at the same time an
nouncing that the will Will be contested.
There was also filed the remuneration of the
trust reposed in NJ. w. Upton, by that gen.
tleman in person, he having been ap-
pointed executor of the estate by the terms
of the viii.
The will directs that all the property of
the testator should go to his heirs-at-law,
exactly as if 10 will had been made. In
his petition Bradley states that the estate
thus disposed of amounts to about $50 900
In real estate in various counties and $4,000
in personal property.
Bradley died IN the Fabiola Hospital in
Oakland in December last. He was so
years old and quite feeble, and while in
this condition, it is claimed, he was in
duced to make the will Just filed. Bradley
had never intended to make a will. if his
own words could be believed, and his
nephew believes that undue influence was
used upon him to have one made for him.
1t leaves the property exactly as it would
have been had there been no will at
all, but its management places it abb
solutely In the hands of the executor
It. is also claimed that the same in
duence was brought to bear upon the
old man to induce him to deed away
$50, goo worth of his property to the Oxford
Orphan Asylum in North Carolina, to Da-
wilson College in the same State and to
theological seminary in Virginia, equal
shares to eacn. This property consisted of
valuable lands in Minnesota. and the deeds
we're executed shortly before his death.
These facts Will be made the grounds for a
contest over the viii and suit to set aside
the deeds mentioned.

1.-THE COCKTAIL ROUTE. .
Eugene Deuprey's Point Lost in the
Scheerer Case.
The Justices Decide That the Contest
Must Go On as They Are Merely
Commission.

Justices Barry and Cook sat together on
the bench yesterday afternoon to hear the
contested election case OF Joseph Scheerer
against John Mccarthy, in the Thirty
sixth Assembly District. Scheerer is the
Republican candidate, and was beaten by
2S8 votes. In going over the district he
heard various stories of how he had been
swindled out of many votes due him, so he
forthwith ordered a contest filed.
Eugene Deuprey, who represented Nc
Carthy, objected to the jurisdiction of the
Justices commission on the grounds, first,
that his client had been improperly served,
and, secondly, not within the time allowed
by law He made the claim that all legis-
lators are exempt from civil process fifteen
days prior to the meeting of the Legisla-
ture, a privilege conferred by the eonstitu-
ton. As Mccarthy began to participate
in the session at Sacramento on January 7,
and had not been served even on December
"a, he could claim the benefit of the priyi-
iege of exemption from civil process.
Mr.. Deuprey also said that due diligence
had not been taken to find his client, who
could have been easily discovered if
wanted.
The Sheriff's return stated that the dep
uty chad gone over the cocktail route 10
find Mccarthy, but Mr.. Deuprey indig-
nantly denied that his client was accus-
toned TO frequent saloons.
On both the points the Justices refused to
rule, saying that they could not decide the
matter of Jurisdiction, which was wholly
within the province of the Legislature.
They said they sat merely as a Commission
and ordered the taking of testimony.
Several witnesses were examined in
Scheerer's behalf, but nothing of interest
developed except the statement of J. Riley,
who said that voters were brought from
the almshouse into the district and given
drink to vote for certain candidates.
Several OF the witnesses objected to testi
lying, for the reason that Seheerer had not
paid them the necessary 81 as witness fees
Scheerer thereupon informed them that he
did not care for their testimony and would

Nuts From California

Following is an extract from a New

Louis Globe-Democrat: California. hay-
ing proved such rival to European yint-
ners and fruit-growers, now intends to
control the walnut market also. I refer,
of course, not to 'hickories, i" but to the
better varieties known as "Grenoble. y
which include all of superior quality. The
California growers have been for several
years cultivatihg these varieties, and last
fall they sent $50 carloads to market. They
are favored by the short crop abroad,
which is not much more than one-half the
average. 1t is astonishing to see the great
consumption of what may seem to some a
very petty article. The ordinary Grenoble
crop is 1900 bales, and the $50 carloads
from California make nearly 200 tons.
