ViduaIiy Liable
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-Tbe supreme
court rendered an important decision today
declaring that the stockholders of the de-
funct Pacific bank are individually liable
for the debts of the corporation. The de-
cision was rendered in the suit of Mat
thew MCGOWAN, as assignee of numerous
creditors of the bank, against the STOCK
holders to enforce their liability on the
total amount of the claim for their proper
ton of the stock held by them. MCGOWAN
obtained judgment in the lower courts and
the McDonalds and other defendants APP
pealed.
The supreme court affirmed the judg-
ment, declaring that under the constitution
OF 1S49 the dues of corporations are Sc
cured by individual liability, and each
stockholder js liable for the debts of the
corporation; also, that acts of the legisla-
ture thai seek to remove this liability are in
conflict with the constitution and therefore
void.

SOLANO SOLONS, IN PERIL
The Entire Board of Supervisors
May Be Sued for Thou
sands.
One of the Members Accused of a
Dark and Dubious Trans.
action.

From all indications the Supervisors OF
Solano County will be in for lively time
within the next few days.
Several weeks ago one of the members
OF the board came under the ban for col
lecting the bill of constable, amounting
to $175, and failing to turn the money
over, so it was said, to the man to whom
it was due.
During the investigation which followed
the Supervisor claimed that he had met
man on the street in Vallejo who he
thought was the cons tai BILE and that he had
paid the money into his hands.
That was the first chapter, and others
more sensational are about to follow. Be-
sides the individual civil and criminal
suits IN the wind it transpires that the
whole board is to be sued for several thou
sand dollars due in payment for road
work. Work, 1T seems. was contracted for
and carried out in excess of the funds ap-
proprlated to the use of two of the large
districts. According to the county gov
ernment bill the Supervisors are liable
collectively and individually for the
amount due, and well-known lawyer of
this City has been engaged to bring suit.
1t has also leaked out that one of the
Supervisors is to be prosecuted on GRIM
lnal charge for having raised the warrants
OF certain under officials and appropriated
the money thus obtained to his personal
use.
Sensational developments are expected
to occur anY daY.

Folsom Street Assuming a Pre-.

Already.
Comparative Test of Bituminous Rock
and ASphaltum to Be
Made.

Folsom street is now being transformed
into bituminized boulevard from Sixth
to Twenty-sixth streets. The railroad
company in this particular instance has
agreed to use bitumen between the tracks.
The bitumen, however, to be used by
the railroad company will be different
from that used by the contract or for the
City, who must, according to the resolu-
tion of the Supervisors, use the Santa
Cruz rock, whereas the railroad company
will use the asphalt from the Pacific I'm
provement Company's mine at Asphalto,
Kern County. This is done as test in
which the comparative values of bituml-
nous rock and asphalt will be watched
with interest.
Time will demonstrate which is the
better for street pavement in this climate.
Good progress is being made by Con-
tractor Mcdonald in his part OF the work.
He will have finished by tonight that por-
ton from Fourteenth street to Nineteenth,
and probably by the end Of next week he
will have reached several blocks nearer
the end of his contract.

SUNSET IN A FIERY SKY.
The Remarkable Painting by
Won Perbant at Schmid'S
Studio.
1t Contains a New Discovery Which
Gives Luminosity and Fire
to Oil Colors.

Critics and admirers of painting have
found a new subject for discussion IN
picture which Carl Won Perbant has on
exhibition at the studio OF Rupert
Schmid at Van Ness and Pacific avenues
Many of them have visited the studio
and seen the picture. 1t was first exhl-
bited about a week ago to few intimate
friends of the artist, and since then some
of the best-known artists ana quite a
large number of fashionable people have
viewed it critically. AS result OF this
inspection Won Perbant's remarkable
painting has been commented upon III
various art circles.
In the opinion of more than one COM
petent Judge the painting presents quail
ties which mark distinct advance IN the
art of depicting luminosity on canvas. 1t
requires no knowledge of art to appreciate
the fact that an extraordinary erect mas
been produced by the painter In ms treat
ment of artificial and natural lights. In
deed, his picture conveys the impression
that the canvas is provided Win tlny
,specks of colored glass and that orlgnU
light is thrown upon it from behind to
illuminate the openings.
The painting is about feet inches long
and feet 6 inches high. IG represents
view of San Francisco and the Golden
Gate from Goat Island and is called sun
set at the Golden Gate. Mr.. Won FerDanC
has painted and sketched industrlously
for months to gather material for this
masterpiece. His work covered wide
range marine, landscape, sky, architec-
tural subjects, and over and above all an
atmospheric and a light effect that doml-
mated and gave color and life 10 the whole
scene. Telegraph Hill in the middle dis
tance casts a somber shadow down upon
the wharves and shipping, and stands out
a bold, dusky silhouette, behind which the
sky and air are lighted with fiery fierce
ness. The sunset is warm and tinges
everything in the picture with its ruddy
and burning hues. So the whole painting
is in key that would appear extravagant,
though any one who has taken the pains
to watch sunsets at the Golden Gate will
freely admit that such marvellous effects
are in nature.
Wherever the inf1amed glow falls there
is warmth comb bined with luminosity.
The waves are Redeemed, as is the cloudy
sky, and Immediately over where the orb
of day is sinking behind the hills there is
a burst of white light that fairly glistens.
The influence of this wonderful light is
spread upon, the City, the shipping bay
and mountains so that the picture is all
sunshine.
curious feature of the work is the re-
f1ected glow upon windows and the red
and green lights on the wharveS and ships.
These are so treated that they actually ap-
pear to be so MANY lamps burning on the
canvas, and with the effect of conaagra-
ton of the skies represent an innovation
in painting. Mr.. Schmid, the sculptor,
thought it out in years and Mr.. Won
Perbant has now applied it with singular
success.
