GUILTY OF GR0SSEST FRAUDS.
Officials of a Corporation Scored BY De-
cision in the Maryland Court
of Appeqfs.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. A sensation
was caused in financial circles TO-DAY by
the opinion of the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals at Annapolis in the case of Amy Du.
puy and Herbert Dupuy, her husband, of
Pittsburg, Pa, against the Transportation
and Terminal Company of Baltimore. The
case came from the Circuit Court of Balti-
more.
"The matter involved was a bill for re-
ceiver for the Transportation and Ter
minal Company of Baltimore City, de-
funct corporation that had already passed
through insolvency with Winfield ]. Tay-
lor, a well-known lawyer in Baltimore, as
trustee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dupuy had invested $50 900
in this enterprise. which at the time pur-
ported to have the control of the Maryland
Central Railroad, the York and Peach
Bottom Railroad, some extensive coal
lands and large part of the contract for
the building of the belt railroad.
It is said that the total amount of
claims similar to Mrs. Dupuy's exceeds
s., 500, 900, large number of Pittsburg
people having been induced to invest.

D0RRE IN CARMEN"
Bfzet's Charming Work Crowds the
Baldwin Theater.

Bizet's Charming Work Crowds the
Baldwin Theater.
There was big audience at the Baldwin
Theater to greet Carmen" last night.
The opera may be said TO have made dis
tlnctly good impression.
Thea Dorre is on her native heath, so to
speak, as Carmen. Vocally and histrion-
ically she shows herself to be an artist all
through the work, though she rises to her
grandest height in the card scene, where
her terror and superstitious foreboding are
repressed with wonderful art, both in
voice and gesture. Her singing of s.Thou
Lov'st Me Not" earlier in the work, was
also marked by remarkable witchery and
sweetness. Needless to say Dorre won
much applause.
Payne Clark showed to much better ad .
vantage as Don Jose than he had done the
previous night in aida" He acted with
considerable passion and brutality and
his singing won him several well-deserve d
recalls.
Anna LIGHTER sang and acted charm
lngly as Michaela. Max Eugene was a fairly
good Escamillo and the rest of the caste
was satisfactory. The orchestra was heard
10 better advantage than on Monday.
though the introduction was not always
above reproach. The absence of Sgnor
Morreale, who cond ucted SO sympathetic
ally last year, is distinctly perceptible.

The Property Was Valued at
Twenty Thousand When It's
Owner Died.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN COURT
No One Appears to Claim the Resi-
due and It Goes to the
County.

LGS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 4.-Encar-
nacion BueIna died in December, 1870, just
q little over a quarter OF century ago.
At that time he had an estate worth
about $4,000. If Encarnacion were alive
to-day he would undoubtedly be greatly
disappointed at the way his $4,000 has
been scattered around.
For over twenty-five years his estate has
been going through administration, and it
has had very expensive trip. Its jour
neys are now over, for yesterday Public
Administrator Frank NJ. Kelsey finally
settled it up in Department 2 of the
Superior Court.
OF the original estate there remained
just AZ cents. Nobody could be found to
claim it and the Public Administrators did
not know what to do with it. The sum
was not a large one. still it had to go
somewhere, so Judge Clark made an order
directing Mr.. Kelsey to pay the AZ cents
into the county treasury. This Mr.. Kel-
sey did, and thus ends the chapter.

Each Train Adds It's Quota to
the Number of Carnival
Guests.
PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Uniform Rank Expected to Parade on
the Knights of Pythias
Day.

TRUCKEE, CAL, Feb. 4.-To-night's
train from the west brought several yisi-
tors to the carnival, and each succeeding
day brings its quota of sight-seers. spray-
Ing was kept up all of last night and sew
eral inches OF ice was added to the walls of
the palace. An improvement IN the
palace which means the outlay of consid-
erabie money was commenced to-day. 1t
Is the replacing of the rough pine boards
which form the inside wall of the skating
rink with dressed lumber. This will be
painted in carnival colors and will add
greatly to the appearance of the interior
of the palace.
Crowds are sliding the toboggan tonight
and all pronounce it in capital condition.
From present indications it will be hard
for Truckeeites to part with the slide after
winter is over. as they never seem to tire
OF this sport. The skating is good and all
the nearby ponds are covered with a thick
coating of ice. People take advantage of
this, and skating parties are quite the
thing.
Posters announcing the excursions to
take place on Saturday and Sunday are
out and parties are expected from San
Jose, San Francisco, Stockton, Sacramento
and all the cities along the line OF the rail-
road.
A letter to-day informed the manage
ment of the intention of the Knights OF
Pythias grand officers to be present, and
as Saturday win be their day there will
probably be grand parade of the Uniform
Rank. G. F. McGiashan, colonel of this
division, has mapped out an extensive
programme for the entertainment of the
visitors, and it will be carried out on a
magnificent scale.
The weather is clear and cold tonight
and it is favorable to the success of the

baud to the End.
BOSTON, MASS. Feb. After journey
through Italy James Wheatland Smith
and Mrs. Francis Lee Higginson, wife of
the Boston banker of that name, who fig
ured IN the sensational elopement OF few
months ago, have once more set their feet
on Uncle Sans soil.
An intimate friend of Mr.. Smith and
Mrs. Higginson stated to-day that the
object of the visit was to arrange prelimi
narles for the contest of the divorce libel
filed in the Superior Court OF Suffolk
county by Francis L. Higginson.
Mrs. Hlgginson will fight the libel to the
bitter end, and it is alleged that the facts
which will be brought before the tribunal
will be interesting. A well-known lawyer
OF this city is authority for the statement
that Smith has been IN Boston during the
last week, and that Mrs. Higginson is in
New York, although she has been also in
Boston. Smith and Mrs. Higginson ar
rived in New York ten days ago in an
ocean liner, travelling under fictitious
names.

WITHDRAWAL or HARRISON.
1t Is Believed That the Strength of the
Indiana Delegation win Be
TliUided

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 4.-Leading
Repuhicans of the House who were spoken
to to-day do not as rule feel that General
Harrisons withdrawal from the Presi-
Dental race will materially affect the pros
poets of the other candidates. The Ohio
representatives, of course, believe that
Mckinley will secure the support of the
Indiana delegation.
This opinion is shared by Representa-
tiyes from other States. Other gentlemen
believe that the Indiana delegation will
divide its strength among the various can
d1dates. The Indiana Republicans-f
the members of Congress from that State
fairly reflect the sentiments of their con-
stituents-while believing General Har-
rison to be sincere, indulge the hope that
an exigency may arise which may require
the convention to nominate him.
Many Senators declined to-day to dis
cuss the effect of the withdrawal of ex-
President Harrison from the list of Presi-
Dental candidates, but the champions of
other candidates on the floor of the Senate
were evidently pleased at the action of Mr..
Harrison.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 4-The Mail
and Express this afternoon printed the
following: Senator John M. Thurston of
Nebraska, who was among to-day's ar
rivals at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, ex-
pressed considerable surprise at General
Harrison's letter forbidding the use of his
name before the st. Louis convention.
''There can be no doubt of the Generals
earnestness, however" said the Senator.
"He is perfectly sincere man, and those
who know him best will understand that
he means just what he says. He is out of
the field, and no man who values his good
will should attempt to drag him in again.
General Harrisons s withdrawal will make
no change in the political situation In Ne

WATER OF CASTRO lake,
J. S. Hansborough and Others
Want to Lay Pipes Through
the City.
The Purpose Is to Supply the Public
With $4,000, 900 Gallons of
Water Daily.

James A. Johnson, an attorney repre-
senting J. S. Hansborough and others,
sent in petition to the Board of Super
visors yesterday to be permitted to lay
mains and pipes through the streets of
San Francisco for the purpose of supply
ing the City with water from Tembladera
Creek, the outlet of the Castro lakes, near
Monterey.
Mr.. Hansborough recently took up water
rights on the creek to the extent of 5000
inches. The plan is to bring the water to
San Francisco through San Jose, supply
ing that city and residents along the line
with the pure water of the southern reser-
yoir.
1t is proposed to utilize a 60-inch iron
pipe for the purpose, pumping the water
with sufficient force to carry it to desti-
nation and still leave pressure of eighty
pounds to the square inch at San Francisco.
The intention is to follow the line of the
Monterey division of the Southern Pa
cific Company as closely as possible. Mr..
Johnson's letter to the Board of Superyi-
sors is as follows:
To the Honorable Board Of Sapervisors-GEN-
TLEMEN: Having recently taken up and To-
Gated for myself and associates. under the
statutes and laws of the State of California,
the water of the Tembladera, the same being
tue outflow of the Castro lakes, near Castro
vile, Monterey County, CAL, and believing
that we can supply this City with an abund-
ance of pure, fresh water for every purpose de-
sired, we submit the same for your considera-
ton, hereby agreeing TO abide by any reason
able conditions you may impose.
That is. If you will grant us the power and
authority to lay down mains ana pipes through
the streets of the City, we will supply
city and the = puplic with 24,OOO, 900
gallons of pure, fresh water per day. Or,
If your honorable board should prefer, we will

Mason points out that there is margin
OF 16 cents between the price the grower
gets in California Tor each pound of this
fruit and the price he can obtain in Ger
many, thus giving him a chance for large
profits by shipping his sun-dried product
abroad. The cost of the fruit when landed
at Hamburg or Bremen, freight and duty
paid, would not exceed 8 cents per pound,
