effects of the showers of rice which mark
the departure of the bride and bridegroom.
There are few young couples who have
not entered upon their honeymoon in ac-
tual physical pain, thanks to the stony
grains which have stung their eyes and
ears and have found their way into their
clothes and down their necks. Worse dis
asters even than this have followed the
use of rice as a sign of the good will of
their friends, and serious accidents have
not infrequently occurred in consequence
of the reckless showering Of these grains.
The horses have been scared, and this, in
some cases. has led to the overturning of
the carriage and the severe injury of its
occupants. Attempts have occasionally

HE BLEW OUT THE GAS
A Couple Nearly Asphyxlated on Their
Wedding Night
The Groom Got Rattled-He Slept Badly,
Though, and TumbIed Onto the Floor
and Aroused the House

Mr.. and Mrs. Charley Bird (colored) }
had an experience yesterday morning
that they will long remem Der. The cou-
pie were married late Wednesday after
noon, the bride having been in the en-
ploy of Mrs. Star, who conducts a lodg-
ing house at SIT South Broadway.
although the establishment boasts OF
no bridal cham ber, such a momentous
occasion could not be overlooked, SO the
pest room in the place was prepared for
the blushing couple of sable hue. Gar
lands OF artificial orange blossoms were
festooned about the walls, along with
clusters of lilies of the valley, while sweet
smelling roses were displayed upon a
marble topped stand in an off corner OF
the room. To complete the elaborate
en bellishment and fill the cup OF ha2pi-
ness to over flowing, a large chinaware
cast. representing, hen and dozen
chicks, was placed upon the bureau, and
suspended from the chandelier was a
wax watermelon.
The first sail in the matrimonial canoe
IS ordinarily a most EN- mbarYassing ordeal
but when fanked with SO many remind
ers OF the joys of earthly life. 1t proved
too great a strain for the futtering nerves
OF Charles and instead Of turning out the
gas, like a white man, he did the Reuben
Glue" act and extinguished the flame with
strong puff of breath.
During the night Charles. very happily
for all concerned. had troubled dreams,
and about 4 o'clock yesterday morning
rolled out OF bed. He created such a
noise that some roomers were aroused,
and detecting the odor OF the escaping
gas, broke open the door of the bridal
chamber and found the pair in an uncon-
scious state.
Doctors were Immediately summoned,
and after several hours of hard work pro-
nounced Mr.. and Mrs. Bird out OF danger.
The lucky couple were receiving double
congratulations yesterday from their
many friends.

Supreme Court Hands Down an Opinion in

California National bank Of San Diego,
plaintiff, and appellant, VS.. John Ginty
ct al, defendants and respondents; action
to recover on two promlssory notes, one
Tor $3.50, dated Decem ber 20. 1870, due in
SIX months, with interest at 10 per cent
per annum, signed by Livingston, Clark
& Co., John G. Ginty and NJ. A. Luce;
and the second for $4,000, of even date
with the first. and like rate of interest.
due three months from date, signed by
Livingston, Clarke & Co. only, and to sub
ject certain prlmavera logs, pledged as
security for payment, to sale, the pro-
ceeds to be applied to satisfy the debt.
Judgment went for the plaintiff for the
amount of the notes and interest as stip-
ulated and directing sale OF the logs.
Defendants appealed.
Their appeal involves two questions
Whether they were correctly held to be
principals upon the note signed by them
and whether the court below ruled prop
erly in allowing interest on said notes.
They relied upon their statement that
they signed the $3.50 note as sureties for
Livingston, Clarke q Co., with the knowl-
edge of that fact by the bank and with
the understanding that they were to be
held as sureties only. But the court ruled
that where one signs as principal ne Will
be held as such, Notwithstanding the
creditor knew that, as between the one
thus signing and the principal debtor,
the.former was in fact only surety.
The objection that the court erred in
allowing plaintiff interest upon its notes
is based on the revised United States stat
ute that it is not competent for a nation
al bank.to charge asnigher rate of inter
est upon its loans than that fixed by the
law Of the state as the legal rate-7 per
cent-and that by con tracing for a high
er rate the plaintiff forfeited its right to
the entire interest provided for. This ques-
ton depends upon whether the nation
al bank can lawfully charge a rate of in
teIest in excess of that allowed by the
federal statute, when such excess can be
lawfully contracted for under the statute
of the state in (which the bank is doing
business. That question has been ex-
press!y decided in the affirmative by the
| supreme court.
| Beyond slight modification as to the
| disposal Of the proceeds of the sale Of the
| logs, tie $4,000 note getting the preference.
