This One Comes From San Luis ObispO

E. Groat, mechanical engineer of San

the least cum bersome of the many hereto
fore brought to public notice and that cit

apron. or scoop, across the entire width of
the track, placed just in front of the for
ward wheels. The front of this when in
position is about eight inches above the
track. AT the outer edge of the platform
of the car there is swinging gate that is
also as wide as the track, and this, when it
comes in contact with an object, moves in
ward and upward. This is connected by
catch or lever with the apron and with
bell.
The moment an object touches the
swinging gate the catch is released, the
SCOOP front drops to the ground and the
springs that hold it are so arranged that
when the object that caused the gate to
fly back touches 1t, it does not raise and
nothing can get under it. When the
catch is released q loud bell is sounded,
and that gives the man in charge of tn e
car notice to put down his brakes and TO
either take off the grip or the electric cur

the real sufferers If he were sent to Jail.
The Judge said that Gordon should

OF criminals were in the same position as
Gordon IN that respect and he could make
no exception in his case. he regretted for
the sake of Gordon's wife and family that
he could not take into consideration

HAWAII MERCHANTS PLEASED
Cheap Railroad Rates to Port and
Mean Clear Saving to Them
of So a Ton.

The Southern Pacific is slowly but
surely running the shipping interests of
San Francisco. Its suicidal policy in
charging 'all the traffic will bear" has
started opposition steamship lines from
British Columbia, Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland.
The advent of the Valley road has COM
PEELED the Southern Pacific to cut its rates
in that direction, but from all other points
the old tariff prevails and the commerce
of this port is suffering and Portland is
benefited.
Not so very long ago all the feedstuff
used in the Hawaiian Isles went fro m San
Francisco. Now the Portland merchants
can ship it to Honolulu and sell it from 81
to So ton under California prices. Hay,
feed and flour are all going from Oregon,
ana in consequences many locally owned
vessels are either laid up or have been
sent off shore. The following well-known
Hawaiian traders are among the number:
The Z. P. Rithet is seeking a foreign char
Ter, the S. G. Allen is waiting for some
thing to turn up, the steamer kahulul is
laid up, the Robert Levers IL going to
Australia with wheat and the Mohican

When the Martha Davis and one or two
others arrive from Honolulu they also
will join the idle feet, unless in the mean
time the unexpected happens and freights
improve.
Another of the feet is the bark Ceylon.

prominent shipper yesterday; 1.-The rail-
road rates into Portland are away below

sequence, the farmers can land their
goods in Portland and the merchants can

freight rates there as they do from this

ATTORNEYS IN CONTEMPT
Patrick Reddy Calls Warner
Temple a Liar in Judge
Campbell'S Court.
Both Tender an Apology and the Judge
Purges Them of the Contempt
Proceedings.

The proceedings in Judge Campbell's
court yesterday morning were enlivened
by prominent attorney calling his
learned friend liar, and both being adj
judged in contempt of court.
1t occurred during the hearing of the
case of T. A. Burns, produce merchant,
100 Seventh street, charged with felony
EN- bezzlement. Burns was appointed re-
ceiver by the creditors interested in Mey-
er's restaurant on Ellis street, and two of
the walters had him arrested for felony
embezzlement as they had not been paid
their claims.
Attorney Warner Temple appeared as
speclel prosecutor and Attorney Patrick
Reddy represented the defendant
Attorney Temple, in opening the case,
remarked that he would prove that the de-
fendant, Burns, was a scamp and bad man
generally.
Attorney Reddy was on his feet in a
moment and looking Temple square in
the face said, slowly and deliberately: 'If
you say that you are liar.
Come, come, gentlemen" said Judge
Campbell as he raped for order, II can
not permit such language in this court.
VIII adiudge you both guilty OF con-
tempt"
This had the effect of bringing the two
attorneys to their senses and Temple
promptly rendered an apology to Reddy.
knowing your reputation as gentleman
and lawyer" he said, 81 was wrong in
referring to one of your clients as scamp
and bad man.
Then / retract my statement replied
Attorney Reddy, and the Judge promptly
purged them both of contempt.
After hearing the evidence the Judge
dismissed the case. as he said it was purely
a matter for the civil courts.

D|LHAN LOST HER LOVE,
Once His Wife Thought His
Affection Worth Thousands
of Dollars.
Now She Is Willing to Leave the
Field Entirely Clear to Her
Rival.

Mrs. Grace A. Dilhan does not think as
much of Joseph, her husband, as she used
to. There was a time, not so very long
ago either, when she valued his affections
at $4,000 and sued Pierre de Loriol for
that amount for alternating them.
OF late, however, her ideas have Under
gone radical change. Now she thinks
so little of Joseph that she recently de-
parted from the City. not even taking the
trouble to inform her husband of her des-
tination. Therefore Joseph sued for di-
vorce. On Wednesday Mrs. Dilhan, being
an ultra honest person, had the suit
against De Loriol dismissed.
The original complaint against De
Loriol is curiosity in its way and created
something of sensation when it was
filed. Following is an extract from it:
The plaintiff alleges that here tofore
and within the two years next preceding the
commencement OF this action, while Joseph
Dilhan was living happily with and support
ing the plaintiff all OF which the defendant
well knew, said defendant, wrongfully intend
ing to injure the said plaintiff and deprive her
OF the affection, society and companionship of
her husband, maliciously seduced and enticed
him away from the residence of plaintiff and
her said husband to q separate residence and
has ever since detained and harbored him at
such separate residence against the consent of
plaintiff and her peaceable efforts to prevent
ii, and has wholly alienated the affections of
the said Joseph Dilhan from the plaintiff.
Wherefore $4,000 damages was de-
manded. The demurrer to the complaint
was also peculiar. Among the reasons adj
vanced why the suit should be dismissed
were the following:
1t cannot be ascertained from the complaint
whether the action is brought to recover dam
ages for alleged seduction" "enticement'' or
'harboring and OBTAINING plaintiffs husband"
or alternating the affection of plaintiffs hus-
band from plaintiff
Evidently Mrs. Dilhan, thinking
Joseph's love and affection is not worth
having, is ayerse to trying to make Mr.. de
Lorlol pay for something she considers
worth nothing.
