The Ston-Oyer Case.

the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
for refusing to allow the plaintiff stop
| over privileges on ticket to Alameda was
finished in Justice Aliens court to-day.
1t was argued by J. c. Martin Tor the
defendant that Broadway and Twenty
third avenue both being in the city consti-
tuted one station and that a stop over
could only be claimed at intermediate
stations.
Judge Allen at the close of the argument
said that he thought the plaintiffs ground
for action was poor one and withheld his
decision for few days.
When Judge Allen stated that he would
take the matter under advisement Attor-
ney Chapman was on his feet and stated
| that he did not want the matter taken un-
der advisement. He wanted decision
now. He said that he knew by the Ian
guage of the court what the decision would
be, and he preferred to have the time in
which the court was studying over the
matter to prepare his appeal to the Su-
preme Court
Judge Allen flushed little at the attor-
neys remarks, but he reserved his decision.
Railroad Secrets Coming Out.
When the trial of G. H. Kellogg, ex-
railroad detective comes up in the Police

life of Baby O'Connell, and both sides
have summoned host of witnesses. Many
railroad men are bitter against Kellogg,
among others being j. E. Sexton, who was
recently tried on a charge of forgery
Kellogg's place at the mole is now filled
by ex-Deputy United States Marshal Ma
honey.
The Department Swamped.

the voters by Assessor Dalton and half a
carload of circulars from an Eastern firm,
the Oakland Postotfice force, from Post
master J. J. White down to the special
delivery boys, are up to their ears in work
The carriers are working from ten to
twelve hours per day, although the head
of the department says that eight hours
shall constitute days work; and there is
no prospect of a slow up until after the
city election.
