VALLEY ROAD PROGRESS.
Contracts Awarded for Bridge and
Trestle Lumber for About Fifty .
Miles of Road.

AT a meeting of the Valley road d.
rectors yesterday D. A. Learned, who owns
a ranch near Stockton, appeared as pro-
testant against railroad embankment on
part of his land and Ladd's ranch, adjoin-
ing. He claimed that already two bikes
exist, one built by himself and the other
one by Ladd. The railway will pass dag
onally between them, with the result that
in wintertime the overflow water of Nor
mon Channel will flood Learned's ranch,
unless open spaces are provided by trestles.
The matter was referred to Chief Engineer
Storey, who was instructed to examine the
ground with Mr.. Learned and adjust the
difficulty satisfactorily to him.
Bids were accepted for lumber for tres
ties and bridges to build as far south as the
MERGED River. This, it was estimated,
would require about 100000 feet. The
redwood lumber contract was awarded to
G. A. Hooper d Co. and the pine to P. A.
Buell. IL Co. and the Stockton Lumber
Company of Stockton. The contracts in
Guided lumber for the long bridges over
the Stanislaus and Tuolumne rivers.
A bid from the Risdon Iron Works for
the iron tanks for conveying water on fiat
cars to the front during construction of
the road was accepted.

AFTER his WEDDING GIFTS.

A Despairing Fireman Makes Another
Effort to Recover Property.
The troubles of James Godfrey and Miss
Catherine Nugent have been dragged into
the courts again for discouraged justice to
take another whack at. This time the
wrangle is over one poll parrot, one gold
watch and chain and one silk umbrella;
and the parrot doesn't do the least of the
talking in the difficulty.
Godfrey is fireman on one of the deep
water steamers. He sprung into news
paper prominence several months ago in
an active scramble with John Tracy to wed
Miss Nugent In the conflict that ensued
Tracy lost finger. Godfrey lost some 1920
and Miss Nugent was deprived of her peace
of mind forever. Later on the gibbering
parrot watch and umbrella cropped up
and everybody claimed them. This case
differs from all the others, though, in the
fact that no arrests have been made yet.
Godfrey has been in hot water ever since
he went to Miss Nugent's house with a
marriage license and found John Tracy,
just arrived, also with license in his coat
pocket. In the active explanations that
ensued Godfrey found Tracy and his friend

WILL SUE A. LEVY & CO,
Attorney kanaga Claims He
Has Been Maliciously .
Prosecuted.
Joseph E. Shain, the Missing COL
lector, Was the Sole Cause OF
the Trouble.

Reem Kanaga, an attorney in this City,
tn reatens to commence suit in few days
against A. Levy & Co., commission
brokers, for the recovery of $4,000 DAM
ages, alleging either libel or malicious
prosecution on account of suit which
was commenced in Astoria, Or, against
him for the recovery of some $500, which
he claims in reality had been appropriated
by Joseph E. Shain, who recently left San
Francisco.
Speaking about the matter yesterday
Mr.. Kanaga said: Gin June, 1894, / was
the attorney for Howell & Ward, whole
sale firm in Astoria, Oregon, who were in
debted to A. Levy & Co. in this City for a
few hundred dollars and gave me the
money with which to liquidate those
claims. At that time Mr.. Shain was the
collector for A. Levy & Co., SO drafted
1920 to apply upon the account to him,
supposing that he would Immediately pay
it over to the company.
"In July of the next year letter was
written to the Astoria firm asking them to
please send the balance of the money due
to Levy & Co. Howell & Ward immedi-
ately requested a short extension of time
and in the same letter stated that they had
paid me $500. The City firm demanded the
money from Shain, at once knowing that
he had been receiving money from the out
side country.
"Shain denied the receipt of the money
and when closely pressed commenced an
action against me in Astoria, knowing that
| had left that city, but was unaware that
/ had moved to San Francisco.
Upon receipt of the information that, a
suit had been commenced against me In
Astoria called upon Levy d Co. and pre-
scented the bank drafts and receipts from
Shain showing date of June, 1894.
eve immediately issued a warrant for
Shain's arrest, but he paid the money be-
fore the warrant was served and alleged
that his clerk had neglected to give me
credit for the amount on the books"
'Mr. Shain and Levy 81 Co. then refused
to pay their Astoria attorneys and in con-
sequence the suit against me for embezzle-
ment is still upon the court record and a
summons is published regularly every
week in the papers of Astoria.
II have now prepared the papers against
Adolph and Jacob Levy for Ssv 300 and in
tend to serve them as soon Is the Astoria
business can be disposed Of"

He HAS NOT RESIGNED,
II. T. Scott Will Probably Serve
Out His Term as School
Director.
Six Weeks Ago He Spoke Of Resign
ing to Some of His
Friends.

It has been no secret for the past six
weeks that Henry T. Scott had seriously
thought of sending in his resignation as a
member of the Board of Education. The
chances are, however, that he will not re-
sign, as recent events suggested that he
ought to serve out the term for which he
was elected. Early in July he spoke to
John D. Spreckels of the contemplated
resignation, and indicated that he would
resign if Superintendent A. ]. Moulder
would agree to appoint Republican to
fill the vacancy. The subject was not dis
cussed by Mr.. Spreckels and Mr.. Moulder
and SO the proceedings rested there.
To George w. Prescott of the Union
Iron Works MIR. Scott also confided a de-
sire to be released from the responsible
ties of the Office of School Director, hoping,
perhaps, that Mr.. Prescott would agree to
serve the remainder OF the term. Strong
efforts were made when the Republicans
were looking for men to nominate for the
Board of Education to get Mr.. Prescott to
accept, but his inclinatlons for repose were
too strong to be overcome by the allure
ments of office.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. Scott
said: 81 neither deny nor affirm the report
that [ intend to resign. My resignation
has not been sent in, but did say to John
D. Spreckels and George W. Prescott some
six weeks ago that desired to be relieved
of the duties of the office, and the same
desire was communicated to Mr.. Moulder,
the Superintendent of Schools. l said to
him that if he would promise to appoint a
Republican in my place, l would tender
my resignation
When pressed for definite intelligence on
the subject Mr. Scott said: 81 have not
sent in my resignation or prepared it.
The inference is derived that Mr.. Scott
will serve out his term. He confesses that
the way things are managed In the board
hardly accord with his ideas OF business.
A tendency to plunge in the matter OF
Clinton, who expects to be Mayor some
day, seems to fancy that he will never get
the Office until every teacher receives $1,000
a month apiece.
The salary apportionment this year is
1886, 900. The number of pupils now at
tending the public schools is but little In
excess of the attendance ten years ago,
yet the salary roll is 100000 more than it
was then. Mr.. Scott firmly believes in
liberal salaries for educational purposes,
but he sees tendency to divert money
which should be expended for new
school houses, repairs, ETC., to the pay
ment of the salaries for newly created
positions.
Mr.. Scott speaks kindly of DR.. Clinton
and other associates on the board, but
knows that their generosity in the matter
of multiplying places and increasing
salaries is not good for the cause of educa-
ton.
II. L. Dodge has not resigned from the
board. Like other directors, his inclina-
ton to be relieved of the work may be
strong. but he has not decided to quit. He
went to Monterey yesterday afternoon.

HER HAIR In EVIDENCE.
Damages Obtained by a Woman Who
Had Lost Her Bangs in a
Scuffle.


ssLook, Judge, Just look at that. It's all
mine,' said Mrs. Sophia Buhhart to JUS
tice of the Peace Groezipger yesterday
afternoon, and she brandished fstful of
hair in his face.
The court regarded the hair with becom-
ing judicial interest.

and she waved a bloody handkerchief

May, and 1 told them that | wanted to

and attacked me. Mr.. Hartman pulled
out my hair. Look at it, Judge; Just see
how much; almost enough for switch, !"
and the indignant witness again thrust
forward the fistful of gray hair. ''And
her husband, George Hartman, beat me.

night at supper, though wanted to throw
the dishes at them for the way they treated

bruised up and so scared by the treatment
that think they ought to pay me $780,"
George Hartman declared that Mrs.
Buhhart had drunk four bottles of beer
and one of champagne on the day of the
row.
Mrs. Buhhart denied the charge and de-
clared that Hartman never had that much
liquor in his house at one time.

LADIES' DRESSES RUINED.
The Ink-Thrower Again Makes His APP
pearance and the Police Are
Searching for Him.

The ink-thrower, who made himself OBJ
uoxious some months ago by running
ladies' dresses, has reappeared on the
streets and is playing his old tricks again.
Two complaints were received at police
headquarters yesterday. w. II. Dewey,
1905 McAllister street, left the Mechanics
Fair on Monday night with young lady,
and when they reached her home on Post
street she found that the back Of her dress
was splashed all over with ink or black
fluid resembling it. She got a glimpse of
the man whom she suspected of throwing
the ink, and describes him as about 4c
wears of age, feet inches tail, with a
black mustache mixed with gray and col
ored glasses over his eyes.
Mrs. Sweger, 407 Fourth street, was the
other complainant. She said her two
daughters, while walking along Market
street Sunday night, between Fourth and

His Testimony Before the Grand Jury

His Testimony before the Ufano Jury
Was Vaiueless.
Moses Greenwald will not be accepted as
a witness in the cases of the United States
against Ferdinand Ciprico, Max Katzauer
and J. D. Sullivan for forging Chinese
certificates. He pretended to be able to
give convincing testimony. on behalf of the
Government and asserted that he could
easily convict the gang.
The Government allowed him to go be-
fore the United States Grand Jury, but he
broke down so completely that United
States District Attorney Foote refused to
accept him as Government witness.
Had Greenwald told all he knew he
would have practically been a free man,
and his brother, who is now serving term
in San Quentin for smuggling, would have
been materially benefited. His testim ony,
however, was very different from what was
expected and not having been strong
enough to assist the Government it was re-
jected.
Greenwald knows more than he chooses
to tell, but has made up his mind to sink
or swim with his companions.
