CINE 7, hose wagon and chemical
engine.
The building is or the site formerly oc-
cupied by the same engine company. Dur
ing its construction the apparatus had
temporary quarters at the corner of Six
tenth and Guerrero streets.
The new house is complete in all its ap-
pointments, and, everything considered, is
admitted to be the finest in the city. 1t
occupies the entire lot, which is 25XS0 feet
in dimension, thus giving ample room to
meet all requirements. The structure is of
brick, and has handsome front on Six
tenth street. There are two stories and a
hose-tower, the top OF which is sixty-five
feet from the pavement. On the first floor
places are provided for the steam and
chemical engines and also for the hose
wagon. There are seven stalls for the &C.
commodation of the horses at the rear.
The hay and feed loft is placed over the
stalls and below the flooring of the upper
story. 1t opens upon Albion avenue,
thus obviating the necessity of taking in
supplies through the front entrance, as is
the case in nearly all the other engine
houses.
On the second floor there is every COM
fort that fireman could desire. The DOR
mitory is 25 by 60 feet and is fitted up for
the accommodation of the regular COM
pany and large number of extramen. A
comfortable sitting room is also on this
floor, with bath and lavatory.
The finishing throughout is up to the
standard of modern dwelling-houses of the
first class.
There is only one complaint concerning
the house, and that is from the police, who
say there ought to be an alarm bell on the
building to inform them of the location of
fires. There is nothing of the kind in the
district except the whistle on the power
house at Howard and Tenth streets.
The officers of the company are: W. E.
Cunningham, engineer Samuel Rudolph,
driver, and James Buckley, stoker.
The company will have to answer calls
from Ninth street south.

GEORGE WHITE MUST PAY.
Judgment Rendered in Favor of Mrs
White.

Judgment Rendered in Favor of Mrs.
White.
The case of George E. White. the Men,
frankie White, has been finally settled in
favor of Mrs. White by Judge Hubbard. In
1885 White brought suit for divorce from
his wife, alleging as causes willful deser-
ton and infdelity with his nephew. Both
of these charges he failed to prove The
defendant, by cross complaint, asked for
divorce from White upon four grounds
infidelity, willful neglect willful desertion
and extreme cruelty. The first three were
sustained by the court and she was granted
divorce in May, 1889. Since then she has
been compelled to respond to two appeals
to the Supreme Court, one from the order
allowing alimony pendente lite, and one
from the Judgment of divorce, in both of
which appeals the defendant prevailed.
By reason of Whites refusal to pay costs
and expenses, his wife was compelled to
incur an Indebtedness of several thousand
dollars. She therefore asked the court for
a final decree in the case determining the
rights of property between herself and the
plaintiff, and awarding her alimony in a
lump sum out of plaintiffs separate prop
erty, there being no community property
sufficient to properly support her.
This relief the court is of the opinion she
is clearly entitled to. Therefore, having re-
gard to the circumstances of the parties
respectively and considering the difficulty
which the defendant will have in collect
ing any Judgment against the plaintiff,
the labor and expense necessary to discover
unincumbered property enough to procure
for her an execution, the means whereby
she may live, and considering too that she
must pay her own counsel fees, the court

at the tables.
The dinner consisted of all the rich and
expensive viands that the wealthy Chinese
are fond of, and great deal OF dignity dis
tinguished the occasion. The principal
topic discussed was the Japan-China war.
The news of the fall of Wei-hai-wei was re-
ceived in manner intimating that it was
not fully credited. Consul Chang said he
had received no official information of the
capture and would not give it full consid-
Grafton until such information comes.
After the dinner the party attended the
theater.

LARRABEE SENTENCED,
A New Trial Denied Him by Judge
Wallace.

A New Trial Denied Him by Judge
Wallace.
Frank II. Larrabee, convicted of murder
in the first degree with the punishment set
at life imprisonment, came before Judge
Wallace yesterday morning to have SEN
tence regularly pronounced.
Before sentence was passed counsel for
the defendant moved for new trial on the
grounds already stated-misconduc of the
fury and irregularity in the Judges charge.
The court held, however, that the words
spoken to counsel by the juror, and upon
which the charge of misconduct was based,
were said in Jocular way and with no
particular meaning attached.
The court then sentenced Larrabee to
spend the remainder of his life in the State

the throat of Fife King, his mistress.

believed 100000 not an exorbitant figure,
and it was awarded her.
The opinion filed by Judge Hebbard IN
the case also denied motion made by
White for the reduction of the alimony-
his wife having been allowed $500 month.
At the time of the commencing OF the suit
White had property worth $500, 900. In
making his motion for reduction OF
alimony White set forth that he was in
debt in the sum of $150,000, and that his
property had greatly diminished in value,
that his credit was gone and that financially
he was in a very bad way.
''This may all be true" the opinion
states, "but it is also true that the plaintiff
has dissipated, disposed of and concealed
his property for the purpose of preventing
defendant from obtaining any portion OF
it, either through orders of court or other
wise. The report of the referee in July,
1881, the date of his marriage, shows that
plaintiff was possessed of property valued
at 1921 ,315 of which 500 was personal
property; that since that time he has &C
CURED other real property worth $133, sol.
The referee reports further that the per-
sonal property had decreased in value from
$50, 500 to $54, 725, making thus total valu-
alton of all his property $685., ia. HIS
debts at the same time amounted to $l32,
584 leaving balance of $206,550 as the net
value of the plaintiffs separate property.

a NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
The Damage Case of the Goodenows to
Come Up Again.

Judge Hunt has granted a motion
for a new trial of the damage suit
of Tina Goodenow and her children against
the Omnibus Cable Company on the ground
that the testimony shows Goodenow to
have died from causes other than those i'm
mediately following the accident, and from
which it was claimsd he died.
The case was tried three times. On the
last occasion the jury having disagreed on
two former trials, finally rendered YER
dict for $2500, an amount so ridiculously
low for the loss of husband and father
that the court could not but think it had
strict regard for the rights of the case.
Goodenow was injured in Novemb Der,
1891, and died in the following January.
The post-mortem examination showed alb

NO TROUBLE TO GET MONEY.
The Valley Road Fund Takes Another
Big Stride.
THE INTERIOR is DEEPLY INTERESTED.
Citizens Of Bakersfield Adopt Ringing
Resolutions and Promise to Aid
the Great Enterprise.

The work of securing subscriptions to
the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railroad fund goes on encouragingly, and
over half of the second million required
had been placed on the lists of the commit
tee when it ended its labors yesterday.
The gentlemen who are doing this work
will heartily welcome the advent of Sun
day, as many of them have devoted their
entire time to the canvass since the lists
were first thrown open to the public.
Yesterday was devoid of any particu-
iarly exciting developments, but big sub
scriptions, for that matter, have be-
come so common of late that they attract
but passing notice; but the committeeman
who had been on the streets reported the
same enthusiasm among the business men
approached that has been so manifest for
some DAYS past, and there is no liability
of its abating until after the entire
amount needed to insure the road has
been raised.
Up to Thursday evening there had been
subscribed the sum of 81, ass, 500, and the
official figures of yesterdays additions
show 81, $4,000 as the amount. In order
to obviate the discrepancies noticeable in
the various papers as to the total amount
subscribed, the committee will hereafter
give out the amounts taken up to 3 o'clock
of each day, and will not officially recog-
nize other subscriptions until the following
day.
The complete list as authorized pub
lished by the committee yesterday is the
following:
