win for $75, 900 damages for seduction, ap-
peared in court when Judge Slack called
the case yesterday morning and asked that
the court remit the fees IN the case.
She filed a long affidavit, in which she
pleaded that sEe was dependent upon her
own exertions for her own support, and
that she also had to support the child
which she wishes Baldwin to father. She
says she works from O'clock in the morn
ing until in the evening at hair-dressing
and manicuring in Pasadena. She owns q
little cottage, which is mortgaged for all it
is worth, and lives in it without paying
rent, but she declares that she cannot pos
sibly raise sufficient money to pay the trial
fees.
Judge Slack announced that he had no
right to compel jurors to waive their fees.
1t the plaintiff wanted jury trial she
woulo have to pay the fees, and if she did
not ne would not hear the case. He would
rather under any circumstances that 1t be
transferred to some other court.
Baldwin's attorney objected to any con-
tinuance or transfer. He wanted the case
to go to trial as soon as possible and if the
jurors fees were not paid he insisted that
the case be heard and determined by the
court.
Miss Ashley's attorneys thought that by
Monday they might find some philan-
thropic individual who would advance the
fees. The case was then continued till
Monday and the Judge announced that at
that time she must either pay the fees or
waive Jury.

TAINTED WITH CRIME
Boys Confined in the County
Jail With Hardened Old
Offenders.
Sheriff Whelan Is Working to Have
Them Protected From the
Dancer.

Sheriff Whelan and Under Sheriff Clack
are making a determined effort to change
the present custom of disposing of the
youthful offenders who are arrested for
petty offenses and remanded by the Po-
lice Judges, before whom they are brought,
to the Superior Court for trial.
Formerly the Police Judges had the
power of sending the juveniles to the
Whittier or lone State schools, and
usually did so within day or two after
their arrest.
The last Legislature, however, passed an
act putting the committing power in the
hands of Superior Judges only. In the
present crowded condition of the Superior
Court calendars it is often weeks and
sometimes months before the cases can
be given place. In the meantime the
lads are kept at the County Jail, whe re
hundreds of the most degraded criminals
are confined. No matter how much care
is taken in isolating them as far as the
limited facilities will permit, they are
certain TO hear more or less of the vile talk
of the more hardened offenders, and to be
tainted by the subjects they hear dis
cussed.
ga month spent in a place like that"
said Under Sheriff Clack yesterday, twill
do young and mpressionable boy more
| injury than years of training at the State
schools can efface."
Mr.. Clack called on District Attorney
Barnes yesterday and asked him to use
his influence to induce the Superior
Judges to give preference to cases of this
kind and have them placed on the calen-
dars for trial as soon as they are remanded,
so that if deemed necessary they can be
| placed beyond the influence of the GRIM
| inal influence as early as possible.
There are now sixteen young boys in the
| County Jail, some of whom have been
| there for six or seven weeks awaiting trial.
Among them are: ]. Sullivan, William
Dunbar, John Bush, Alfred Jones. John
O'Brien, F. Montague, G.. Hobbs, H.
Davis, William Latimore, Charles. Bona,
Daniel McAvoy, Fred Marshall and
| Edward Murphy.

AGREEABLE CIVIL SERVICE.

Local Federal Employees Are Pleased
at the Prospect of Life Situation.
The Federal employees in this City are
generally pleased over the order issued by
President Cleveland on Tuesday placing
all Government officials below the rank OF
residential nomination and Senatorial
confirmation and above the grades o.
laborers and workmen under the protec-
ton OF the civil service law. There are a
few exceptions to this sweeping order, in
Guiding few cashiers.
The revision of the rules divides the civil
service into five branches-Custom-ho house,
postoffice, departmental, Governmental,
printing and revenue service. Through.
out the United States this adds 90, 399 posi-
tions to the classified list, increasing the
IS, ,l35.
The positions affected here by the new
order run over 300. In the Collectors Of
nee MI. jerome is the only man, with the
exception OF the cashier, who will now be
placed on the civil service list. The other
employees are already in the civil-service
class In the other departments of the
federal building, including the postoffice,
the positions affected number from two TO
nfteen, the Internal Revenue office fur
nisnlng the larger number. Nearly every
position in the Mint is now subject to the
revised civil-service law.

and Appointments.

The Fire Commissioners at their meet
ing yesterday afternoon, fined an engineer
and three drivers for failing and neglect
ing to take proper positions at the fire on
May 1 at Folsom and Beale streets, 1t
being their duty to double with other en-
gine companies at the double hydrants
placed in the mercantile districts for that
particular purpose. This is a new rule OF
the department and it is considered of the
utmost Importance that it should be ad-
hered to-
Those fined were Thomas Coogan, en-
gineer of engine 5, three days pay; u.
McQuade, driver of engine s, five days
pay; John Little, driver of engine II,
three days pay, and A. ]. Himmelman,
driver of engine %, three days pay. Will
liam Blackmore, driver of engine "a, was
also fined three days pay for absenting
himself from his house without leave. -
The esignations of Stephen Spellman Of
engine %, Richard Fogarty of engine 10.
and William Kennedy, engineer of engine
8, were accepted. Hugh Quinn of truck 1,
who has been twenty-Lhree years in the
service, was promoted to be watchman OF

petition was read from a number of
merchants and others asking that the fire
whistle on the electric light works, Steven
son street. should be abated during busi-
ness hours, as 1t was nuisance.
The Commissioners instructed the secre-
tary to notify the petitioners that all the
bell-towers had been taken down owing to
t heir unsafe condition, and there were no
funds to put them back again. The
whistles had been put up temporarily, as
the department must have some means of
notifying the extramen, more particularly
during the daytime. Should the new
charter be adopted there will be no need
for the whistles, as it provides for a fully
paid department.
An attorney, who omitted to give his
name, asked the board to take some action
in regard to high sign boards around
vacant lots. He said while passing the
corner of Jones street and Golden Gate
avenue during the strong wind day or
two ago the signboards were so shaken
that he expected them to fall on top of
him and he had to take to the middle of
the street. He was told that the Fire
WGrdens had made test case in the mat
ter, and Judge Seawen had decided that
they could not interfere with the existing
ordinance.

Colonel Benzoni of the United States army.
Los Angeles, and she has been in that city
for several months past.
The noble lady is tall and distinguished
in appearance. She came to America Just
two years ago and has since been in New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and
other Eastern cities. She declares that
she likes America so well that she will
never again return to Germany. except to
visit her friends. Her home, she says,
shall henceforth be in this country.
The distinguished lady is widow, she
having lost her husband some time ago.
Her grandmother was Italian, so her hair
is not of the blonde type of which one is
accustomed to think when adverting to
the ladies of Northern Germany, but is, in
fact, rather dark, while she is fair of face
and one of whom people would say was
handsome as well as engaging.
She is full OF admiration for many things
she has seen.
"In everything pertaining to progress,
in inventions and taking hold of big
things" said she, "there is no country
dollars here in going into different enter
prises, and pursue their way as matter
of course, when all is conservatism abroad.
Th is has been the striking thing to me.
In everything but music and painting
America transcends all the countries of
Europe. l love this country better than
my o wn land"
The Countess has been visiting the park,
cliff and various places of interest. She
may stay here some time. The lady comes
of very old and renowned family.

WAS DUE TO NEGLIGENCE
The Railroad Is Held Respon-
Sible for the Death of
Mrs. Johnson.
A Coroner's Jury Says the Fatal
Accident Was Due to Lack of
Proper Tenders.

AS the result of the inquest held by
Coroner Hawkins on the body of Mrs.
Georgia McVeigh Johnson. who died at
her residence, 6l2 Van Ness avenue, April
30, from injuries received in being run
down by a Turk-street electric car, the
Market-street Railroad Company will have
another big damage suit ON its hands. The
jury impaneled returned the following
rider to its verdict:
And we further find that it was an accident,
and we find the Railroad Company negligent
In not having proper tenders and guards on
its cars.
In all twelve witnesses were examined,
tn evidence relating to the speed of the
car differing materially. One stated that
the modern i1ggernaut was going at least
fifteen miles an hour and another that
the speed did not exceed one-third that
rate. Motorman Finch was positive the
car was not running any faster than eight
miles an hour, and in spite of the fact that
this speed was maintained on a heavy
grade declared he had perfect control over
the vehicle.
The jury, however, did not seem to care
SO much for the speed OF the car as for the
lack OF proper life-saving fender. There
was not the slightest evidence to show the
presence of any such device, and the jury
returned the verdict as printed above.
Some months ago the Market-street Com
pany made great pretense OF complying
with the ordinance passed by the Super
visors, requiring that all cars be fitted with
proper tenders. Mr.. vining graciously
allowed one or two people to attach devices
to his cars, at their own expense, and then
invited the Supervisors to witness the tri-
Ais. This thing was kept up Tor few
weeks, and then. when Mr.. ViDing had
made the Supervisors believe that he really
intended to comply with the law, he i'm
mediately turned his attention to some
thing else. Car-fenders are expensive. and
the Market-street Company owns several
thousand cars. Mr.. VIning is endeavoring
to be economical. and in that lies the eau Sc
OF many accidents and deaths.

| Having secured this deposition and q
| few of minor importance, Snow was prac-
! tically at the end of his tether. In vain
did he flourish the enhancing bait before
| local capitalists.
They would have none of it. Morrow,
perceiving the inactivity of the young ad-
vocate, wrote complaining letter to Mrs.
| Calhoun, who at once communicated with
MISS Eleanor, then playing in Europe.
When she received the letter she deter
mined to take the matter in her own
hands.
The London season was over and Miss
Eleanor was on her way home. The con-
tests of the Davis devisees under the will
was then on in full blast, and Colonel Rob-
ert Ingersoll represented an aScendent
branch of the controversialists. When
Miss Eleanor reached New York she went
at once to the famous inhdeIs office ana
explained her claim. The young lady was
invited to inspect all the papers he had
pertaining to the case, and he had hosts of
them. For two days Miss Calhoun rum.
mayed through the papers and found much
information of value.
In the meantime Snow had again got
in action. 1t had been suggested TO him
that Detective Stilwell of San Francisco
was the man to help him out. Stilwell
was called into the case. and succeeded in
getting Sullivan d Sullivan to furnish the
necessary backing. With their funds
Stilwell made trip through Texas. Mon
tana, Arizona and other places, where
Davis was said to have gone in his wander
ings. The information which he amassed
was considered of great value to the claim.
When Miss Calhoun reached Fresno she
did not come alone. In her company was
Charles F. Hanlon of this City, whom she
had procured TO watch her interests, Snow
was not pleased with the entry of an inde-
pendent lawyer in the case and at once
put his contract on file. That made things
a little gloomy for Hanlon as it is a little
awkward fighting a man who has the sole
power of compromise.
Hanlon also made things embarrassing
for Snow, for Sullivan e. Sullivan being
startled by the vast outlay of capital re-
quired to prosecute the claim had drawn
out and.no one cared 10 take up the task
of furnishing financial backing to a house
divided against itself. 1t being apparent
that no one would be a gamer by that
status OF affairs an agreement was finally
arrived at.
Then Haven & Haven found client
who would furnish the necessary backing.
Miss Calhoun now says she has attorneys
in all parts of the country. But as long
as young man named Snow OF Fresno
retains certain castiron contract attor
neys may come and attorneys may go, but
he'll probably retain what is known to the
vulgar as 'lead-pipe cinch" on the lega
managership of the Calhoun claim against
the Davis estate.

THE UTAH RATE BATTLE,
Local Merchants Talk of Boy
cotting Some of the Mis-
souri, Lines.
The Traffic Association to Meet Next
Week to Do Something About
the Situation.

The Traffic Association is going to take
vigorous hold of those Utah rates that are,
and for so long have been, giving San
Francisco the worst of it and the Eastern
business world and the Missouri lines the
best of it.
On next Wednesday the Traffic Associa-
ton Will hold meeting to consider this
particular subject. What will be done is
not definitely foreshadowed, but discus
sion will undoubtedly be followed by an
expression of some kind which will be
expected to cut figure at the forthcoming
meeting of the Trans Missouri Association
at Denver
The threat is made that unless the
Trans-Missouri lines make some arrange
ment that will reopen to San Francisco the
Utah field that rightfully belongs to its
wholesale merchants, the local merchants
Will institute boycott, on the Union
racine, the Rio Grande Western and their
allies.
A club of this sort will likely be shaped
and put into the hands of the Southern
Paclhc Tor it TO use at the coming meeting,
at which it will be represented and cut q
big figure in the deliberations. though it is
not member of the Trans Missouri
Association.
The Southern Pacific and the local mer-
chants interested are working together on
this particular thing of common interest.
Perhaps the merchants are backing the
Traffic Association and perhaps the
Traffic Association is backing the South
ern Pacific, but at any rate they will make
strong and concerted effort to regain the
opportunity of landing goods at Utah
business points at rates which do not shut
out the San Francisco merchants and dis
criminate in favor of the East.
