WIDOW LAURA JAMES.
Her Father Testifies That He Was Told
of the Contract Marriage With
the Old Doctor.

Judge Coffey has admitted in evidence
the contract of marriage that was signed
by the late DR.. Charles e. James, aged go,
and Laura Milen James. aged 20, the latter
being now an applicant for the $50, 1000 es-
tate left by the deceased.
There was great deal of argument over
the admission of the contract in which
DIR. James and Laura Milen asserted that
they took each other "for husband and
wife in the sight of God and man."
Attorney Shadburne, who represents
the Eastern heirs, thought the paper was
of no value, as its signing did not appear
to have been followed by the assumption
of marital obligations and duties as re-
quired by the laws of California.
Attorneys Hart and Cotton insisted that
the document ought to be admitted in
evidence, and that if it is not sufficiently
supported to establish its validity the
court may in the end reject it.
Judge Coffey acquIesced in this view,
and the taking of testimony was begun.
DR.. Theodore Milen, father of Mrs.
James, the claimant, testified on his
daughters behalf. He said that he re-
permission to marry mis- daughter Laura,
and had not replied directly to the aged
sutton, but had written from Redding to
Mrs. Milen, Laura's stepmother. express
ing his assent. Soon after that he re-
turned from Reading, and he thus de-
scribes his meeting with DIR. James:
At about 7:30 that evening met the doctor
in our rooms. My wife had luncheon pre-
pared, consisting of tamales, crackers, pickles
and beer or wine. When DR.. James came in
said, doctor, suppose this is my son." He
said, Eyes; if this is your daughter, for she is
my wife"
Then we had lunch. They remained about
an hour and half. That was the evening of
the 18th OF January, 1895. l met him the
next Sunday evening, the 18th, in his Office
his back parlor. His wife, my daughter, was
there. 1 asked him: doctor, how about the
marriage contract? My people are old-fash-
Toned Methodists and won't understand it.
understand this is not legal outside of Cali
fornia."
had previously asked Laura to leave the
room and she had done SO. He pulled out q
paper, this contract, and l read it twice over
myself He said he would provide for ''the
little one,'' as he called her. / went to San
Jose the next day to practice medicine.
The letter of DR.. James was shown to
the witness, who said:
1 received that soon after the date did
not answer it, but returned to 925 Howard
street that night. The following day went
to San Jose and remained there until l heard
OF DR.. James death.
DR.. Milen will be cross-examined by At
torney Shadburne tomorrow.

Supervisors Asked to Pro-
hibit Promiscuous Ex-
pectorating.
C. L. Taylor Elected to the Pc.
sition of Gas and Water
Inspector.
Tax Rebates Will Not Be Paid Until
the est Inst-Bateman Bros.
Bond Approved.

The Board of Health presented two I'M
portant measures for the consideration OF
the Board of Supervisors yesterday.
The first was the long-taiked-of order
prohibiting expectoratlng on the floors OF
public buildings, streetcars and other
places. The second related to throwing
banana Feelings and other rubbish on the
floors of public buildings. the sidewalks,
etc. In each case the minimum fine is
set at So and the maximum imprisonment
at two days.
Both orders were referred to the Health
and Police Committee.
Supervisor Taylor was elected Gas and
Water Inspector, vice Chris Newman,
term expired, by the votes of Supervisors
Benjamin, Hughes. Bunker, Morgenstern.
Spreckels, Hobbs and Wagner. Super
visors King, Scully and Hirsch voted
against the nominee of the Mayor, and
Supervisor Dimond was excused on the
ground that he understood that Colonel
Taylor was not candidate for the Office.
The Mayor named Taylor Rogers, his
present secretary, for the office, but he
lacked the requisite number of votes and
Mr.. Taylor's name was then proposed.
The bond of Bateman Bros, covering
the construction of the Hall of Justice,
was approved.
The City and County Attorney was re-
quested to render an opinion on the sub
ject of Jurors fees in criminal cases. The
board accepts the law allowing fees where
actual service is rendered, but desires to
know whether fees must be paid where
the Juror merely puts in an appearance
without serving on Jury.
The Superintendent of Streets was in
structed to at once remove a frame build
ing obstructing Oregon street, between
East and Drumm.
1t was decided to extend the time for
the payment of tax rebates until the 2lst
inst. in order to give the Treasurer a
chance to get the necessary blanks ready.

10000 SAYS GOVERNOR GRIGGs.
The Majority That New Jersey VIII
Give the Republican Ticket.
to the JesseD City,

NEWARK. Aug J. 1s9e,-Governor
Griggs. looking as brown as the proverb-
5aI berry and twice as vigorous, dropped
into Newark yesterday for a short visit.
He remained just long enough to see a
few personal friends, exchange a word or
two about the general political outlook
and then departed as quietly as he had
come.
What do I think of the political situ-
ation?" he echoed in response to the
query of a reporter. There is only one
way to think about it, Democrats and
Republicans are in accord on the main
Issue, as was shown by the platform
adopted by their respective State con-
ventions, and that would indicate but
one result-a Republican victory.
II IS now simply a question of major
f1y, and l am inclined to believe the Re-
publican majority in the State will not
be less than 10000"
Then, by way of explanation how he ar
rived az this conclusion, the Governor
"How can it be otherwise? The party
has lost nearly all it's leaders, including
men lii T.. F. C. Young, Allan McDer-
mott, DR.. McGin, Henry C. Kelsey, H. S.
Little, Judge Kruger, and ii is intimated
even John r. Mcpherson and Senator
smith. They have left only Senator DAILY
and one or two others, and I do not see
where they can poll more than 100000
votes in the State"
As to the Republican factional fights in
this county. the Governor said he did
not believe it would in any way affect the
general result.

NEWARK, Aug. 1, 1S96.-Secretary john
Y. Foster, of the Republican State Com
mittee, has received from John /. Bah
cock, of Jamesburg, a statement relative
to the protest made by Theodore Strong,
of New Brunswick, against the recogni-
nion of ohm H. Conger as the repre-
sentative from Middlesex county upon
the State Committee. Mr.. Babcock was
chairman of the meeting of Middlesex
county delegates TO the last Republican
State Convention, which elected the mem
her of the State Committee.
Mr.. Babcock says that after the trans
action of ordinary business the meeting
proceeded to the election of a member Of
the State Committee. John H. Conger
and Theodore Strong were nominated
and a secret ballot was ordered. Mr..
Babcock was requested to appoint ~tellers,
and selected George Berdine Of New
Brunswick and William Oberman of
South Brunswick. Mr.. Babcock then tells
how the voting was done, Strong and
his friends having claimed that the ball
lots were miscalled by the tellers after
they had been cast. Mr.. Babcock de-
scribes the positions of the telers as
the delegates were called, and each came
up to the table and .put his ballot in a
hat. Mr.. Strong says Mr.. Babcock stood
at one end of the table by the side of
Mr.. Berdine, one of the tellers.
ssWhen all had voted" says Mr.. Bah
cock, Mr.. Berdine took each ballot out
of the hat and opened it in the presence
of all and passed the open ballot 10

A few weeks later, Mr.. Babeock says,
he was surprised to learn that Mr.. Strong

ground that more than enough delegates
to elect him had previously promised to

a plea is a good one under all circum-
stances, and whether 1t can afford to go

VIGILANT'S MOCK TRIAL.
Field Club Closes Its Doors for the
summer Months.

The vigilam Field Club win not hold
any sessions during the months of
August and September. They celebrated
their closing meeting with elaborate exer-
cises at their rooms on Bergen and Boyd
avenues last night. After the ordinary
business had been transacted an interest
ing mock trial was held.
President of the club, Fred. Mulcox,
was judge, and listened TO the trial of
William Wharton. accused Of malicious
mischief. Thomas Watson and Leonard
Wishart argued in his behalf and Edward
Meeker and Arthur Jones were the prose-
cutting attorneys. The Jury was COM
posed of Messrs. John Van Pelt. Frank
Calvin, Isaac Forshay and Arthur Spat-
chii. The young lawyers displayed much
skill in their cross-examinations, and the
witnesses presented testimony which at
times bore much humor, to the enjoyment
OF the spectators.
The jury withdrew but could not agree.
But that didn't prevent the clients and
all participating in refreshments.
