train at Port Costa. Her ticket had been
used from San Diego to New Orleans and
return via Kansas City, Ogden and San
Francisco. and she intended to use it the
remainder of the way to San Diego, Wnere
il had been issued. But she failed to iden
tifv herself and to write the original sig
nature.
Soon after leaving the train she admit
ted that she was not Mrs. Hall, and later
made an affidavit to railroad detective
that her name was Mabel Marshall and
she lived in a disreputable house on U Far
rell street
When Hall. who wore clerical garb, en-
tered the railway office he demanded of
William Ross, who looks after scalpcd
tickets, compensation for the expulsion of
Mabel.
"I am here concerning my wife," Hall
said. ''Your men lifted her ticket and put
her off the train at Port Costa when she
was going home to San Diego. Your men
acted like highwaymen-
Eyes; they acted outrageously. And
now | demand of you, sir, that ticket or
its value; and also damages for insults
and inconvenience suffered by my wife"
"Mr. Hall, you are not telling the truth, F"
Ross replied.
The bold assertion that the Rev. Mr..
Hall was lying annoyed him tremen-
dously, and he quickly threatened all man
ner of lawsuits, while telling Ross that he
was no gentleman.
'Mr. Hall, that lady is not your wife, Z"
said the railway man, with an exasperat-
ing tone of good humor in his voice. He
showed Mabel Marshall's affidavit and
cheerfullv remarked that Hall might in
stitute proceedings as threatened at once.
Hall looked at the document and without
a word dashed out of the office with man
who pretended to be his attorney.

SETTLED THE BILL.

Supervisors Straighten Out a Demand
on the Urgent Necessity Fund.
The Judiciary Committee of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday Strengthened out
the appointment of Walter Hlnkle to the
position of assistant counsel to the Dis
trict Attorneys Office, 50 that the attorney
could get his salary. Auditor Broderick
refused to pay the September demand, be-
cause it called for $3.50 salary for services of
the Assistant District Attorney. Broder-
ick claimed that that was creating a new
office, which the Supervisors had no right
to do.
All hands were agreed that the appoint
ment OF another prosecuting officer was
necessary in the present condition of the
criminal calendar.
City and County Attorney Creswell
Strengthened out the dilemma by making
the bill payable to counsel to assist the
Prosecuting Attorney" instead of Assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney. Most people
may think 1t a distinction without differ
ence, but Auditor Broderick said it salts
ned the law, and he expressed his willing
ness to pay the bill as changed. The
money will come out of the urgent neces-
slty fund. Hlnkles appointment is for
three months.
The ruling is important from the fact
that the Board of Health has made a num-
Der OF appointments lately to offices where
the funds are exhausted.
Milk Inspector Dockery and Bacteriolo-
gist Spencer are among the appointees.
Like Hinkle, they expect to get their sala-
rles out OF the urgent necessity fund.
Property-owneIs have petitioned to ex-
tend the electric lights on Point Lobos and
Cliff House avenues to the Cliff House.
Property-owners on Shrader street, be-
tween Page and Haight, have protested
against the laying of granite curbs and BIZ
luminous payements till the ground is al
lowed to settle.
The San Francisco Protestant Orphan
Asylum has protested against the con-
structlon OF sewer at the present time on
Buchanan street, from Waller to Her
mann.
Superintendent Vining of the Market
street Railway Company asked the COM
mlttee to approve the Baltimore fender. SO
that it could be attached to all the cars.
supervisor Dimond said he thought there
were several tenders superior to the one
mentioned, SO the matter went over for
another fender test on next Wednesday
morning.

L Hc IlSe anu. .Idll OF every UlQe are SHOWN
on sheet of paper placed within the in
strument and records kept of the same.
When the observer looked at the gauge
on the morning of the 18th inst. he at once
became aware that terrific disturbance
effects had been communicated to the
ocean with sufficient force to be trans
mitted to this locality. Instead of the
regular curved line the storm or earth
quake was indicated by series of breaks,
making the line look like a profile map of
chain of precipitous mountains.
The Irregularities began about 500
o'clock on Monday morning and continued
for eighteen hours without intermission,
being more pronoun ced st some periods
than at others, but at all times indicating
that a hurricane or earthquake was going
on at some not distant point. The OBJ
server had no means of knowing where
the disturbance was taking place, his only
clew being the mute gauge, which faith
fully went on with its work telling the
story as it came from the lips of the
waters of the ocean in language which
no one but it could understand.
The history of the operations of the
gauge shows that the great disturbance
must have taken place within twelve hours
of the time it registered here. Many
years ago Japan was visited by terrific
earthquake, which caused such marine
and submarine commotion that thousands
were drowned and millions of dollars
worth of property destroyed. Within
twelve hours the catastrophe was registered
here, and the observer in charge at that time
knew that somewhere within the limits of
the vast Pacific great disturbance of
nature had taken place.
1t is argued by the United States officials
that this latest disturbance must have
taken place at least within twelve hours OF
8A. NJ on Monday last. The uncertainty
as to the direction or distance of the storm
or earthquake makes it hard to determine
its significance, but certain deductions
from previous registrations can be drawn
The great earthquake in Japan told its
story in somewhat bolder characters than
the recent one, showing it to have been of
greater force Yet the force of this latest
commotion of nature must have been
great when it is considered that the recent
great storm at La Paz, Lower California
which destroyed many vessels and rem
dered hundreds of people homeless, was
not sufficient in force to have the ocean tell
its tale here.
From this it must be inferred that the
disturbance registered on Monday and
Tuesday must have been of much greater
force or much nearer TO this port.
The Coast Survey sub-office has notified
headquarters at Washington of the occur
renee, and is awaiting with interest the
news OF the great disturber that left its
visiting card on the gauge.
The barometer also registered the fact
that great disturbance was taking place
about the same time that the tide-gauge
was giving its testimony.

RICH AND POOR.

The race has had two great heads-Adam and
Christ. Adam was the head of the race accord

MIR. wlMAN GREATLY PLEASED

/ New York, March 17.-Judgmcnt was
reversed and a new trial ordered in
the case of the people against Erastus
Wiman, convicted several months ago
Of forgery.
The decision was handed down in
the general term Of the supreme court
This practically affirms the position
taken by Justice Barrett in granting
certificate Of reasonable doubt that
Judge Ingraham erred in refusing to
charge the jury as to Wiman's Grim
inal intent when he committed the
forgery for which he was indicted, and
Of which he was found guilty in the
court of oyer and terminer. The
opinion is written by Chief Justice
Van Br,rnt, O'Brien concurring. JUS
tice Follett writes dissenting optimism.
The court holds that Wiman as u
partner in r. G. Dun & Co. had the
right to sign checks, but whether he
exercised the right by express or i'm
piled authority is immaterial so far as
it affects the crime with which he is
charged. He was not called upon to
answer for having made the check, but
for endorsing Bullinger's name on it
with intent to defraud. II. therefore,
he had made the checl: to Bullinger's
order, having originally intended to
deliver it to him and subsequently
having, with intent to defraud.
changed his mind and endorsed the
check, he would be as guilty of the
crime Of forgery as though he had
made the check with the criminal in
tention of fraudulently obtaining the
money. The intent with which the
act was done was IN essential in
gredient of the crime, and being a
question of fact and not law, should
have been submitted to the jury.
Mr.. Wiman received the intelligence
from his lawyers. Immediately after
he received the news he put on his
coat and said he was going to tell his
family Of the glad tidings.
