THE FRANCE DECISION.
Brief History of a Very Impor-

In Its Nature and Of ln-

The case of Amanda W. France. VS..
John W. Conner and William h.
Brown, assignees, was argued in the
supreme court of the United States on
the second day of May, 1895, and taken
under Amusement by the court. The
opinion Of the court was handed down
on Monday last affirming the decision
of the supreme court of the State of
Wyoming.
This was one of very great import
ance TO the people of the state, and to
the people of most of the new states
that were territories at the time OF the
congressional enactment. 1t will be
remembered that early in the history
of Wyoming, the legislature OF Wyo-
ming repealed by express enactment
the common law which recognized the
right of dover and tenancy by the
courtesy. Several other of the terri
tories had like legislation. On March
3. 1887, congress passed an act creating
'"N i'Sh'
was endowed of a third part of all the
lands whereof her husband was seized
of an estate Of inheritance at any time
during he marriage. This congress
sional action was taken for the pur-
pose Of restricting and circumscribing
the power of the Church of Latter Day
Saints. then having its locus mainly
in the territory of Utah.
The act of congress was so general
in its terms that the bar throughout
the west generally accepted the legis-
lation as applicable to all territories,
and so intended by congress.
When Mr.. James France OF Raw!ins
made his assignment to John w. Con
nor and william k. Brown. the wife
did not join in the assignment, n did
not relinquish her dover interest, if
she had one, as was tnen contended.
A few months after Mr.. France made
his assignment. he died, and thereafter

Strange Tale of a Mans Dup.icity in
Which Several Women Are
Involved.

Don Juan was elaborated in the brain OF
Byron, and the emorous traits ascrlbed
him were the result of poetic fancy, pure
and simple.
In the City by the Golden Gate similar
character has lived in the flesh for years,
and people knew it not. It was only when
the icy hand OF Death was laid on his brow
that the attendant circumstances brought
a condition of affairs to light which, from
all accounts, forms tale of mans dupllc-
ity strange enough to inspire the pen OF
Stevenson.
Last Wednesday morning, George W..
Cornwell, the oldest locomotive engineer
on the Coast division and one of the best
known engineers of the Southern Pacific
system, died ct his home on the corner OF
Howard and Erie streets. He was man
of very quiet disposition. the neighbor's
affirm without exception, and was espe-
cially noticeable for kindness of demeanor
toward his wife.
Now the tragic element creeps in. The
name of his wife is Mrs. Parker, and.
moreover, Mrs. Parker supposed and has
supposed for years that Parker was the
name of her husband.
But since his death such strange things
have happened thatL the poor woman is
uncertain now whether her name is

is Scotchman, and went TO South Africa
seventeen years ago. 1t was he who de-
veloped the Jubilee mine.
With Mr.. Tod is Siegfried Koppel of
New York. Mr.. KoppeI is the manager of
the rich Bunker Hill gold mine, in the
Frazier Mountains, Ventura County. Mr.
Tod has come out to examine it for him
self and British capitalists associated with
him. 1t is stated that they will buy the
mine and proceed to develop it on an ex-
tensive scale.
The gentlemen have just returned from
an examination of the mine. While there
a cave occurred in the property through
the failure of the workmen to timber the
last seven feet on which they were work
ing. Two men were killed, as has already
been told in special dispatch to The
CALL, and Mr.. Koppel's collar-bone was
broken. The fracture was slight, how
ever, and Mr.. Koppel was able to get
patched up and has resumed his Journey.
Both the visitors were busy receiving
and sending cablegrams last night.
South Africa is the greatest mining
country in the world" said Mr.. Tod last
night. ''The country as yet has scarcely
been scratched. 1 predict in the next few
years greater discoveries by far than has
over been made.
"There are, practically speaking, 10000
whites in Natal and 600, 900 Zulus. The
white population of Pietermaritzbug con-
sists of about 700 whites, all the others
being black. Pietermaritzbur is the
capital of Natal and the headquarters of
the troops.
81 have long been connected with mines
from one end of the reef to the other, q
distance of thirty-fve miles. The Jubilee
mine has long paid dividend OF 120 per
cent year, and in my opinion will con-
tinue to do so for the future. The prop
erty consists of five and three-fourths
claims"
Mr.. Tod has been a member of the Town
Council of Pietermaritzburg. He has been
singularly successful as mining engineer
and has amassed very large wealth.
The gentleman will probably be here
for several days.
