7AMALPA|S ROAD TROUBLE
The Land-O Owners Injunction Suit
Heard by Judge Angelotti
at San Rafael.
Maurice Windmiller of Mill Valley
Claims His Property Would Be
Ruined by the Railway.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, March 23.-The
Injunction suit of Maurice Windmiller
against the Mill Valley and Mount Tamal-
pals Scenic Railway and the California
Construction Company, restraining them
from building the railroad upon Corte Ma
dera and Blythedale avenues, in Mill
Valley, came up before Judge Angelotti
to-day.
Before the case was called the answer of
defendant was served and filed. They
deny that the full and absolute control of
the roads in Mill Valley belongs to the
people. The case was not concluded when
continuance until tomorrow was taken.
Both sides of the controversy were well
represented. The plaintiff, Maurice Wind
miller, testified to the injury his property
would sustain if the road ran upon Corte
MADEIRA avenue. He said 1t would mean
that the avenue would become death
trap, for the cars would come out of the
trees and be upon one before he had an
opportunity to escape. The grading Of
the road 70 make room for tho railroad
would leave high bluff in front of his
NJ. M. O'Shaughnessy testified as to the
dangerous condition the road would be in
if the railroad was allowed to run on it.
J. II. McInnes, who sold the right OF
way through LIS properly W ZIG inOuutdlu
road. did not believe the running of the
road on the avenue would hurt any ones
property. McInnes was the man who
stood guard over tree not long ago and
refused to allow the company's men to cut
it down.
E. Steele took the stand and made the
startling assertion that he did not know
there was q saloon in Mill Valley, and
thought that the building of the road
would bring about 100,0 900 people to Mill
Valley to live. Mr.. Steele was followed by
Mr. James, who could not see the harm Of
building the road. Mr.. James ls the secre-
tary of this company. Henry L. Dodge
and President Egan of the construction
company thought the road was q good
thing.
The examination of 8. B. Cushing was
begun, but the case went over until to-
morrow. when, it is expected, decision
will be reached.

ST. PAUL, MINI, March 23.-The Re-
publicans of the Second, Third, Fourth,
Sixth and Seventh Congressional districts
to-day selected delegates to the st. Louis
convention. Six of these delegates are in
structed for Mckinley, two for Davis and
two others for Davis with queer proviso.
In the Fourth District, of which st. Paul,
Mr.. Davis home, is the greater part, a
resolution was adopted that two delegates
should vote for Davis unless their votes
should jeopardize the chances of McKin-
ley, in which event they should be cast
directly for Mckinley. The resolutions in
all the districts declared strongly for pro-
lection. On the money question all the
districts declared for sound money except
the Seventh. which declared for the largest
possible use of silver. There will be over
1000 delegates in the State convention to-
morrow. The indications tonight point
very strongly to Mckinley victory.

NASHVILLE, TENN, March 23.-The
State Democratic Committee met here to-
day and instructed for two conventions on
May and 7. The latter is the main con-
vention, however. as it will name delegates
to the National convention, appoint Pres
idential electors and nominate candi-
date for Governor. Silver Democrats car
ried every point by surprising force, the
vote being IA to 5. Chairman Carroll, in
his official call, concludes as follows, indi-
eating triumph of the silver idea:
''All voters of the State, regardless of
past party affiliations. who are willing to
assist in the maintenance of Democratic
principles and support the nominees, are
cordially invited to participate in the Sc
lection of delegates to these conventions. !"
Congressman Josiah Patterson departed
from his recent mention and did not at

EULOGIES FOR Mex LNLEY.
Anti-Pion Republicans at Monster
Mass Meeting.

Mass-Meetin0.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March 23.-The
Mckinley boom in New York City was
launched tonight at Cooper Union, and
although the weather was very inclement
and a miniature blizzard raging outside
the big hall was packed with people. In
the center of the platform was a crayon
picture of Ex-Governor Mckinley. The
frame was made of tin-plates to remind
the audience what Mckinley had done for
the ''tin" industry OF the United States.
At the bottom of the picture was banner
on which was inscribed the following:
1.-THE anti-machine Republican organiza-
ton of the city and county of New York"
On the right of the platform was ban
ner in which was inscribed the words:
"The Republican party stands for an
honest dollar and the way to earn it." and
on the left was another banner bearing the
words: "William Mckinley, prosperity's
advance agent" The anti-Platt element
was present in considerable force.
Major L. III. Jerome called the meeting
to order and nominated W. G. Swsyne for
chairman. In doing SO Major Jerome
said:
at does not require Daniel tc read. the
writing on the wall, President of the
United States under that picture of Mr.
Mckinley. 1t has become evident that the
'favorite SON candidacy of this State will
not materialize.' 1t is therefore necessary
as we'll as polite for the Republicans of
New York to declare themselves for one
who will lead the victorious ranks of the
Republicans next November. That is the
object of this meeting. 1t is useless for
politicians to ignore figures of the returns
that are coming in from all the States or
to try and juggle them into anything but
an overwhelming majority for Mckinley.
The cry from now on until success crowns
US next November will be the people of
the United States against bosses and boss
ism, with McKinley for our standard
bearer.
Mckinley, the advance agent of pros
perity, the friend of the working-man is

party holds most dear. They are as fol-

Dtspite all that the English education,
acts have accomplished during the last
quarter of century, the men who, in
1894, signed the marriage register with
marks instead of with their names
were in the proportion of 40 per 1000,
while the similarly illiterate women
reached 81 per 1000. The registrar
general states that in Il out of every
1000 marriages both bridegroom and
bride signed with marks. That some
improvement is going on is, neverthe-
less, made evident by the circumstances
that, unsatisfactory as the foregoing
figures may appear, yet, as compared
with those of 1898, the proportion of
men who signed with marks exhibits
a diminution equal to eight per cent,
and that of women a diminution of
5.3 per cent.-Chicago Tribune.
