Union City, Ind, March 3.-Much
comment is being made here over the
strange action of a clock which was
the property of the late Minister Gray,
and which hung in the Union City bank,
of which he was vice-president. 1t had
been running regularly for a score of
years, but on the day of Mr.. Gray's
death 1t stopped suddenly.
The word that Minister Gray was

did not agree with the telegraphed
time of the minister's death, but when
the difference in time was computed it
was the same to a minute.

.ENOCH ARDEN UP TO DATE,
The First Husband Turns Up
Alive and the Second Hires

A Superior Court Romance, With
Real Estate Involved In the
TangIe.

Long lines of hard luck are recorded in
complaint fled in the Superior Court
yesterday by Jose Guillermo against Mary,
his wife-an6 also another mans.
1t is another case of Enoch Arden, but,
as might be expected nowadays, some real
estate became tied up in the matrimonial
tangle, and that is causing trouble.
Several years ago man named Manuel
Bamondes went away from home. He did
not come back at night, and when he had
been away for months without even writ
ing, his wife concluded that he was dead.
Jose Guillermo then courted the young
widow. He had long known the family
and was friend to Bamondes, it may be
assumed, as the courtship began about as
soon as the husband was concluded to be
dead.
In May, 1892, there was quiet little
marriage, and Mrs. Bamondes, the idow,
was declared to be the wife of Guillermo.
Supposing the young woman to be legally

cided to give her his property. Some land

WH|TEMAN'S ABLE PLEA
The Young Man Who Was
Worth a Million Asks for
New Trial.
STORY OF A NOTABLE CAREER
An Address Before Judge Wallace
by a Prisoner Convicted
of Forgery.

Alonzo J. Whiteman, an ex-senator of
the State of Minnesota, the son of mill
Honaire lumber king, was in Judge Wal
lace's department of the Superior Court
yesterday to receive his sentence for the al
legged forgery of $500 check. He was
given an opportunity to speak on a motion
for new trial and in the address he del1v-
cred he impressively told the story of a re-
markable career.
The prisoner is the young man who was
tried and convicted six weeks ago on the
charge OF forgery made by ]. D. Maxwell,
who had cashed $500 check bearing the
signature of Frank Dixon. He was at one
time worth a million dollars in his own
right, but he lost the money by speculating
and gambling. While resident of Du-
luth he was elected to the State Senate and
was a candidate for Congress. He was
prominently mentioned as candidate for
Congress, but failed to get the nomination.
For several years he was chairman of the

HOME CREAMERY AT CAMBRIA.

The receipts of milk increased rapidly, and
during the month of May, the average
daily receipts were $4,000 pounds. From
the commencement to the end of May it
required from twenty-one to twenty-five
pounds of milk to produce pound of but
ter. Since then the average has been less
than twenty pounds of milk to one of but
ter. Till the end of May. the prices re-
ceived for butter ranged from Is to 131l
cents per pound as the market varied.
Since then, owing to the reputation which
this creamery has made, its butter has
sold readily at from Is to 20 cents per
pound.
These gratifying results are largely due
to the liberal policy of the directors, who
always considered quality before expense,
and were anxious that the creamery
should be equipped with everything neces-
sary to success. In the choice of J. H.
Swarts as separator man and Mr.. G. N.
Arbuckle as buttermaker, theiwisdom of
the directors was apparent.
The advent of the creamery into San
Luis Obispo County has infused the dairy
ing interests with new life, and this section
will soon rank as the first in dairying of
the State.

building is story and half high. well
finished and Of ample proportions. Inside
the appointments are thoroughly modern
and of the most approved designs.
The milk is received in the weighing
room on the upper floor, weighed and
turned into the receiving-vat, which has a
capacity of 1000 gallons. From this vat
the milk runs into the tempering-vat,
where it remains for short time at a
temperature of 40 deg. 1t then passes into
the Russian Sharples separators, which
perform 5000 revolutions per minute.
These separators carried off the first prize
at the Worlds Fair at Chicago. Notwith-
standing the great speed at which they are
run the milk leaves them several degrees
cooler than when it entered.
The cream, passing over a cooler, runs
into vats, where it remains twenty -four
hours to "ripen." 1t is churned in a 400
gallon churn, and after passing through a
National Butter-worker, which is the very
acme of butter-working machines, is
nodded into squares and packed for ship
ment. The power for all these operations
is furnished by 20-horsepower boiler and
a 12-horsepower engine, and is transmitted
by overhead shafts to all parts of the
building.
This creamery company was organized
and incorporated in December, 1894, with
Gilbert Van Gorden as president and B. f.
Martin secretary and board OF directors,
consisting of Gilbert Van Gorden, B. f.
Martin, Amos Smithers, Antonio Luchessi
and Ira Whitaker. The plant was erected
during the winter months of the present
year by Baker & Hamilton at contract
price of $500. The directors, not being
satisfied with the plant, expended $1,000 in
giving it a more thorough equipment.
The manufacturing of butter was begun
on February II, with 5000 pounds of milk.

The Chief of Police was 'broken" for
showing an Examiner reporter through
the town and communicating to the scribe
municipal secrets of great import. The
other two officers seem to have lost their
prestige, and nobody pays any attention
to their orders. Some time ago the settle
ment was invaded by predatory horde of
thieves from beyond the Rockies, and the
townspeople combined for mutual protec-
ton and defense. The intruders were
beaten off and warned never to cross the
Sixth-street bridge again at the peril OF
their lives.
"They came near running the town."

speaking of this raid yesterday. "They

"Dumpville" has a fuctuating popula-
ton. 1t comes and goes, nobody knows
how or why. AT the present time the pop
ulation numbers about 175 and more
wretched lot it would be hard to find.
Their huts are made of old pieces of car
pet, or straw mating stretched over four
upright poles, in height about four feet.
Inside there is usually to be found a pile
of straw, brick oven and few cooking
utensils. The food of the settlement comes
principally from the garbage pile. that the
city dumps each day into an adjoining
pool. Bones, bottles, etc., are exchanged
with now and then can of foaming steam
beer. A few of the men have work now
and then, but it never seems to last long.
Most of them, when not out watching for
the garbage wagons that come and go all
day. lie in their filthy novels, bitterly ours
ing the State, the City and the existing
order of things in general.

A Settlement on the Dumping
Ground of the Munich
pality.
FIGHTING FOR DECAYING FOOD.
The Town Council Goes to Pieces
Over Wagon-Load of De-
cayed Oranges.

A strange collection of human habita.
tions is "Dumpville," the garbage settle-
ment at the foot of Sixth street. The
name is no misnomer, which, by the way,
was chosen after an animated discussion
covering a period of some weeks and
punctuated by brlckbats, cobblestones,
beer bottles. tin cans and other articles to
be found handy on the City's dumping
ground. 1t all came about this way:
A faction led by "Brick" Peters, de-
sc1ibed by powers now in vogue as "that
red bum,' insisted upon calling the settle
ment "Bumville." This was enough to
arouse the ire of the working element
that is to say, the men who stole forth
from their miserable huts with the rising
of the sun to look over the garbage for
bottles, vegetables and bits of meat, and
who would work if they could find any
thing to do.
In Dumpville the working element in
cludes all those who are averse to begging
and stealing. The two factions collided
frequently, and blood flowed.
The workingmen held that it would be
an everlasting disgrace to the camp to call
it "Bumville," while the opposing faction
argued with owl-like gravity that all who
did not work for wages were buns, and
hence the appellatlon was highly appro-
pirate. Finally vote was taken. The
labor element won, and the town was duly
christened ''Dumpville." "King" Foley
was chosen Mayor. There was council of
five and three policemen swore on por-
ton of the third chapter of st. Luke, which
was fished out OF the garbage pile, to main
tain the peace of the town and to promote
its prosperity by every lawful means.
All this happened tive months ago.
Since that time the municipal government
in 'Dumpville" has undergone many
changes. The Mayor so far forgot the
dignity OF his office as to steal dozen
bottles from the cabin of "Sandy" Smith,
which he proceeded to exchange for coin
of the realm at a iunkshop on Third street.
With his ill-gotten wealth go cents) he
absconded, and month later was killed at
Port Costa while stealing a ride out of
town on a brakebeam.
The town Council disagreed over the
sharing of load of rotten oranges that
had been taken to the dump by smil-
ing Italian, fought, and finally dissolved.

AFRO-AMER|CAN SESSION.
The Spirit of DiSsenSion Again
Develops in the Last Days
Session..
The Congress Denounced, but Pro-
ceeded With Business and
Formed a State League.

Some of the spirit of dissension that
predominated on the opening day of the
Afro-American League Congress cropped
up in the afternoon session of the closing
day Yesterday. The proceedings, with the
exception OF an address by Congressman
Mcguire on "How to Make Emancipation
Effective" were devoted to committee re-
ports and the presentation of resolutions.
President Morton, however, took time
to inform the congress of rumors that he
said were afioat condemnatory of both the
American League and the congress.
These rumors had it that the Woman's
League had received money from the
president for feeding the delegates from
the interior, and that he had received it
from some white political boss. President
Morton branded this as lie and slander.
He produced a receipt purported to be
signed by one w. A. Butler.
Quiet was subsequently restored after

the passage of the act, took preliminary steps
for the reduction of its capital stock, but had
not completed the steps necessary when the
act became law complete the amendments to
its articles diminishing its capital stock after
the law went ito force without violating the
provisions of section "a OF said act?
The Attorney-GeneraPs reply is:
First-I am of the opinion that where such
terms as investment bankers and brokers'" or
other terms or words of like import enter into
and are q part OF the name OF a corporation
organized prior to the passage of the act re-
ferred to- the Use by such corporation of its
corporate name, including such terms or words,
does not come within the prohibitory proVi-
sion OF section 26 of the bank act. A cons struc-
ton that would bring such corporation within
the provisions of section % of the bank act
would be in effect dissolution of the corpora
tion, for a corporation. can transact busi-
ness in its corporate name only, and law pro-
hibiting it from using that name would render
it poweriess TO carry out the objects for which
it was organized.
Second-I am further of the opinion that
full compliance with all of the provisions OF
section 339 of the Civil Code as amended in
1898 (Stats. 1898, 191-92), is a condition prece-
dent to the reduction of the capital stock of a
corporation; that there is no reduction until
the final step-the filing of the proper certif-
cate in the Office of the Secretary of State-is
taken; that, therefore, If the bank act went
into effect while proceedings for the reduction
OF the capital stock OF a banking corporation
were pending, and if by those proceedings it
was sought to reduce the capital stock of such
corporation below the amount prescribed by
section "a of the bank act prerequisite for
a transaction of a banking business within
this State, such proceedings could not be car
ried to comp pletion, and the capital stock of the
corporation could not thereby be reduced after
the bank act became law so as to make it
lawful for the corporation after such reduction
of its capital stock to do banking business

value of the two pieces of real estate being
upward of $4,000.
By these conveyances, as is frankly ad-
mitted, the plaintiff intended to provide
for the support of his wife in the event of
his own death, and sin case his creditors
should levy execution"
The deeds were never formally delivered
to the wife, but they were recorded.
This arrangement of the property was
satisfactory to both the man and the
woman until last May, when the first hus-
band returned. Bamondes did not stop to
peer through the window nor to reflect on
any unhappiness or embarrassment that
he might cause. He went home, found
his wife and claimed her. The explana-
ton of the second marriage was accepted,
and the second husband was permitted to
pack up and move out.
Still the property remained in the
woman's name, though Guillermo held the
deeds. Recently, however, it was discov-
cred by the second husband that the mu-
tual wife had mortgaged the property
without his consent. borrowing $500 from
lone Wilma McNab" at 2 per cent a
month.
Right there the first trouble began, and
Guillermo is now suing to get the property
back and to have the romantic marriage

do you want? and what do you think you
will get?'' expostulated Mr.. Gildea: "This

couldn't get anything if we did. why,
IN told that the Governor of the State,
who appointed that board, has no IN
huence with them. If this be true, what
can this club get?"
Fred Raabe excitedly protested that the
members deserved places and he favored
the committee facing that Board OF Health
at all events. A lull in the discussion was
caused at this time by various calls for
points OF order, motions to lay the question
on the table and so on.
Louis Metzger suggested that it was
rather late to appoint committee to con-
fer with the Health Board, as the appoint
ments were to be made next Tuesday. He
thought that the committee would only
receive snub and the club would be
humlliated as result. There seemed to
be some fear in his mind that the whole
club would get turned down by the newly
appointed doctors. The subject finally
dwindled into a discussion of parliament
airy rules, the original question was side
tracked, and the matter laid on the table,
much TO the relief of those who were not
seeking the places under debate.

The programmes of the Fifth United

Concert band were made public. While the
soldiers will discourse selection of popular
music at the north end of the cove on the
