SURPRISE FOR GRADERS.
Aided by a Landowner From
Whom Opposition Was
Expected.
ENGINES SOON TO BE RUNNING
Construction of the Corral Hollow
Line Is Being Pushed
Rapidly.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 13.-Grant Bros. ,
force of graders on the Valley road is now
camped on the Rosenbaum 81 Crawford
place, about four miles east of the city.
Considerable difficulty has been expert
enced in handling the black adobe in that
section.
The graders yesterday entered the place
of A, Galgiani. 1t was thought that some
opposition would be made, but instead the
owner came out and superlntended the
taking down of the fence, and even went SO
far as to arran ge for the cutting down of
some trees on the line of the road, which
he wanted for firewood.
The bodybuilding force is working
ahead of the graders, and one force is put
ting in the pil1ng over the stream on the
Rosenbaum place. Another force is at
work on the bridge south of Pennington.
Still another pile-driving force was put to
work to-day in advance of the force of grad
ers, that the bulkhead may be put in, and
the back filling done as fast as the graders
reach them.
The track-layers of the Valley road are
putting down planking at all street cross
ings, in order not to impede travel. The
switch points for the track were expected
to-day, and it will not be many days be-
fore the engines will be running on the
road. AS soon as this is done track-laying
outside of the city will be commenced.
The Corral Hollow railroads work is
progressing rapidly. The grade is now
established from Mormon Channel to the
southern limits of the City Homestead.
The heavy grading near the junction of
Weber avenue and Harrison street was
about finished yesterday.

DECIDED FOR GRIFFITH.
Not Responsible for q Bicycle Bought on
the InstaIInient Plan.

the lnSt0ttnnen ran.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 13.-The suit of
G. A. Armstrong, proprietor of the Ben
Hur Cyclery, against Hanford Griffith to
recover $50 alleged to be due on bicycle
purchased on the installment plan, was
concluded before Justice Dwyer to-day.
Justice Dwyer rendered judgment in favor
of defendant, saying that as no title had
passed from Armstrong to Griffith the
latter was only custodian of the wheel and
in no way responsible for its loss.
Griffith entered into an agreement with
Armstrong whereby he was to pay for a
bicycle In monthly installments of $40
The bicycle was delivered but no money
paid on account. A few days after the
the races at the cyclers' track, and placed
his wheel under the grand stand. When
the races were over he found that the
wheel had been stolen, He reported the
fact to Armstrong. On the strength of the
agreement to pay the monthly installment
or return the wheel, Armstrong brought
suit to recover the 500 alleged to be due.
The defense assumed the position that
as no money had been paid on the agree
ment and as no title had passed from Arm
strong to Griffith the latter was merely the
custodian of the bicycle, and as the loss of
the same was in no manner due to any
negligence on his part he could not be held
for the performance of the contract.
Counsel for the prosecution urged that
the plaintiff had delivered the property
specified in the contract; had taken no step
which would extinguish the contract, and
under its terms was entitled to recover the
amount alleged to be due.

DIED FROM MOOD POISONING.
an liberated Tooth Caused the Passing of
q StOchetOni0n.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 13.-One of the
most remarkable cases which has ever
come to the notice of physicians was
brought to light in the SUBURBS of this city
yesterday. A man named Robert f. Rush
died from the, effects of blood poisoning,
which was caused by an liberated tooth.
About a month ago Mr.. Rush called
upon DR.. Foreman and complained of
feeling Ill. He called his attention to a
decayed tooth, and told the doctor that a
few days previously he had gone TO a
dentist intending TO have the tooth ex-
tracted, but the pain it caused him was so
great that he changed his mind. Dr.
foreman noticed that the tooth was badly
liberated. He told his patient that it
would have to be taken out.
When the tooth was extracted a guam
tity of pus flowed from the cavity. This
formation was what eventually caused
death, for it could not be checked, and
the disease spread rapidly. As the case
became more complicated DR.. Foreman
called in several other physicians, but they
all pronounced IL fatal.
The patient suffered thirty days from
the affection. He died yesterday morning
at his residence in Fischer's Addition and
was buried this afternoon because the
body had reached ouch a state of decompo-
sition from the effects of the blood poison
that it had to be inferred Immediately.
Before suffering from the liberation of his
tooth Rush was very healthy man.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Sept. ia

coming fiesta has created no little
indignation among Spanish American
residents of San Bernardino. All the
business houses in the town are
decorating, and some of them put up red.
green and yellow, the eolors used during
the Los Angeles fiesta last spring. But
these no longer wave. They have been
pulled down at the request of the fiesta
committee and Mexican residents.
The coming celebration is in honor of
the eighty-ffth anniversary of Mexican
independence. The ancestors of thousands
who will visit San Bernardino next week
fought, bled and died in struggle against
the red. green and yellow emblem of
Spanish authority. Having achieved free
dom they adopted the Mexican flag of red,
white and green.
To understand the feeling of Mexican
visitors at the sight of Spanish colors, let
person imagine on Fourth of July every
business house in town displaying the
Union Jack. The following telegram was
sent to-day:
General Porfrio Diaz, President Of Merico, City
Of Merico: Mexican independence and your
birthday VIII be appropriately observed in
this city by citizens of Mexican birth or
descent and other admirers of yourself and
well wishers of the country you SO wisely
govern. On their behalf tender congratula-
tons in advance, wishing the continuance of
your life of usefulness and prosperity to our
sister republic. is. PUREY,
