THE TROLLEY JUCCERNAUT
Vernon Clark, a SchooIboy,
SnatChed From the Jaws
of Death.
His Life Saved by the Rare Presence
of Mind of Policeman p. II.
Murphy.

Vernon Clarke, a boy IL years of age,
living at 514 Suffer street, narrowly es-
capped being mangled under the wheels of
electrician 1104, on Kearny street, yester-
day afternoon. His life was saved by the
rare presence of mind and pluck of Police
man P. II. Murphy.
Vernon is pupil of the Lincoln Gram
mar School. He left the school at 2:3O
o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual,
yesterday afternoon, at the request of his
mother, and went to the Chronicle build
ing to post a letter. He then walked
along the east side of Kearny street. till
near Suffer, when he started to cross the
street behind northbound car that was
for the moment standing on the track.
The boy did not observe car that was
going south until it was upon him, and
before he could get off the track he was
Knocked down.
The fender, which is supposed to shove
any obstruction aside, ran over him, and
he would have been crushed under the
wheels in another instant had it not been
for Policeman Murphy. He was on the
dummy of the car, and when the boy was
knocked down he grasped hold of the rail
with his left hand and, bending down,
seized hold of one of the boys feet, yelling
at the same time to the motorman to stop.
By Murphy's keeping firm hold on the
boys foot the boy was dragged along the
ground till the car stopped. Another
moment and Murphy would have been
forced to let 60 his hold, as the strain had
forced him to his knees on the ground Just
as the car was pulled up.
When the boy was dragged out he was
covered with dust from head to foot. He
complained of pains in his head and leg,
and Murphy took him to the Receiving
Hospital. 1t was found that his only in
jury was a confusion of the scalp and leg.
Policeman Murphy said that if the car
had not been going slow as it was passing
the other car the boy would have been in
stantly killed, as nothing could have
saved him from being crushed under the
wheels.

note, and that Rauer sues for $3.50, over
third more than the original loan.
Mr.. HeriDghi says he borrowed the $40
on August 25, 1894. The money was ad-
vanced, but Rauer insisted on Heringhis
giving a note in the sum of $500. The note
was not to bear interest. When the three
months had expired Heringhi asked for
an extension of three months longer, and
his request was granted. He had to give
note for $3.50, however, for the accommoda-
ton. Another extension of three months
was granted, for which he paid Rauer $50
in cash. The third extension of three
months was granted, SO says the answer,
and under the same $50 condition.
Now Rauer wants $3.50 for $40, the orig
inal loan of twelve months ago, with $120
already paid. bringing interest thereon up
to between 60 and 20 per cent.

FIGHTING FOR The TRUST,
GoodfelIoW'S
: New Move in the Fair
Will Contest.
LEGALITY OF THE NEW ACT.
A Claim That the Law of 1895 Was
Not Properly Passed by the
Legislature.

The legality Of the legislative act upon
which Charles L. Fair based his suit to
quiet title to the Lick House property has
been questioned by Carrot W. McEnerney,
attorney for Special Administrator Good
fellow, and this new complication removes
still further the settlement of the main
questions involved in the litigation over
the big estate.
brought up in Judge Stacks court yester-
day, Charles L. Fairs attorneys demand
ing Judgment on the pleadings, this
point was presented by Mr.. McEnerney,
and continuation to next Thursday for
argument was granted.
Mr.. Fair was represented by Attorney
Charles Wheeler, and the latter and other
attorneys were ready to proceed with the
arguments on motion for Judgment, but
Mr.. McEnerney asked for continuance
He stated that only few days notice had
been given him that the motion would be
made and so he was not prepared for the
argument.
Then he announced that he intended to
serve notice of motion to postpone con-
sideration of the matter now at issue until
the dispute over the Fair wills had been
determined.
Until a will has been probated," he
said, 1.-THE court is without jurisdiction
over the issues that arise in the suit TO
quiet title. No court of equity, under a
decision of the Supreme Court, can de-
termine questions arising out of will
until the will has been probated.
That is the law, unless the right to in
stitute this proceeding is conferred by the
statute of 1885,
Mr.. McEperney then stated that he was
ready to show by the records of the Legis-
lature that the statute to which he re-
ferred had not become law, as it had not
received more than twenty votes in the
Senate. Hewould produce certified copy
of the journal of the Legislature in sup
port of this allegation and show that the
act upon which Charles L. Fair based his
test suit was never properly passed.
Administrator Goodfellow is alone
in this move, Attorney Pierson, rep
resenting the other administrators stating
that he did not agree with Mr.. McEnerney
that he thought the case ought to be ar
gued and disposed of.
Mr.. McEnerney insisted that as Admin
istrator Goodfellow had denied in his an
swer that the plaintiff possessed any title
to the Lick House property his position
was different from that of the other admin
istrators.
Jddge Slack decided to grant the con-
tinuance asked by Mr.. McEnerney and the
argument will be begun next Thursday.

COOPERATION A SUCCESS.
A Society That Has Passed Through
the Experiment Stages and Is
Prosperous.

G. W. Wilderman, president of the
Worlds Christian Cooperative Society, is
the happiest man in town to-day. He is
looking with complaisance upon the
achievement of years of labor.
Mr.. Wilderman's long-cherished plan of
cooperative business for the benefit of la
borers is realized. He considers that al
ready he has demonstrated the practical
bility of the plan by successful experiment.
In his opinion it only remains to extend
it to larger scale.
The hand laundry at 129 Valencia street
was the first venture OF the society, and the
place was so well patronized that it was
found necessary to provide larger estab-
lishment.
