Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-Theo-
dore Durrant will remain for a time at
least at the County Jail. Judge Muir
ply this morning granted him a stay
OF execution for twenty days.
The stay was granted after con-
sultation in the District Attorney s
office, at which Judge Murphy and At
torneys Dickinson ana Deuprey were
present. 1t is also said that the ad-
vice of Chief Justice Beatty of the Su-
preme Court was taken unofficially.
When he made the order, Judge Muir
ply admonished Durrant's attorneys
that he would expect them to prepare
the bill of exceptions and have it ready
at the end of twenty days. He said
that unless every effort should be made
to comply with his request, the order
granting the stay would be vacated
1t is not probable, however, that the
work can be done in the time men
toned, and should 1t not be completed
there is no doubt that further stay
will be granted, so, as matter of fact,
the transfer of Durrant to the peni-
tentiary is quite remote.
The record in the Durrant case will
be the most voluminouS that has ever
gone to the Supreme Court, as his at
torneys intend to incorporate in it not
alone all the testimony adduced on the
trial, but all the matter included in the
various affidaVitS presented on the mo-
ton for new trial.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12-New Orleans has
been completely driven out of the mar
ket for choice early vegetables by last
weeks frost Lettuce and radishes,
green peas and beans have been de-
stroyed and the Southern growers are
in bad condition.
One South Water-street commission
dealer, who returned from the South

above the ground had been killed. The
lettuce crop is ruined beyond all hope,
and the few shipments which have
come here since the frost have sold for
81 a barrel, which is 20 cents below the
freight charges. Peas, which two weeks
ago promised unusually fine crops, are
entirely gone. Chicago has had no peas
from New Orleans this winter, growers
having made higher prices in their own
market than they could have realized
by shipping to Chicago. Radishes, too,
are out of the market, except the hot
house variety which was quoted yes
terday at go cents Dozen as against
last weeks price of 20 cents for the
Southern grown. Wax and string beans
have shared in the general destruction
In this emergency commission men
turn to Florida and California to sup
plement the deficiency of the New Or

sending an unusually fine lot of green
peas. which have realized from 81 to

states: LAS a Board of Trustees and
as officers of the United Society," we
have resolutely refused to exercise any
authority to legislate for any society,
or to decide any local questions of ad-
miniStration. All these matters be-
long exclusively to the pastors and
churches. This idea enters into all our
conventions, and moldS the character
of our brotherhood everywhere Our
one legislative function, without the
possibility of associating with or di-
recting the affairs OF any city This
plan refers every difficult question re-
lating to societies back to the only
court of arbitration-the church to
which the society belongs. 1t pre-
scribes the character of our fellowship,
and it limits the functions of the Uni
ted Society, making it simply a bureau
of information and statistics"
The board has been made inter-racial
by the election of two colored members
Bishop B. w. Arnett of Wilberforce,

Church, and Bishop Alexander Wat
