TO Be HEARD AGAIN,
]. Howard Smiths Suit Sub
mitted to the Supreme
Court.
The Judges Are Evenly Divided, and
They Want to Hear More
Argument.

The suit of J. Howard Smith against the
Ferries and Cliff House line, which has been
pending on appeal before the Superior
Court, has peen ordered resubmitted by
the Justices.
The order was made because the court is
evenly divided on the question, and the
Justices want to hear more argument.
Justice Garoutte, however, dissents. He
thinks the Judgment OF the lower court
should stand ns it always does when the
Supreme Court cannot come to decision.
The order explains the cause OF the dead
lock. 1t is as follows:
In tnis cause, Justice Harrison being dis
qualified and the others being equally divided
in opinion as to whether the Judgment should
be reaffirmed or reversed, and further argu-
ment being desired by some of the Justices, it
is ordered that the submission of this case be
and the same hereby is set aside, and that it
be placed upon the calendar for further oral
argument.
Justice Garoutte dissented from this
order in the following words:
dissent from the order submitting this case
for further argument. 1t b as been pending in
this court for long time and already has been
eXhaustively argued. Printed briefs ably pre-
senting every ques ton raised by this appeal
are now on file, and no good purpose can be
subserved by q resubnisslon. II the court be
equally divided in opinion the judgment
should be affirmed on well-settled principles.
The suit brought by Smiths to have de-
clared invalid a bond issue for 81, 200 900,
to compel an accounting from the directors
of the road and to have it decreed that the
action of the directors in transferring to
themselves "a, $50 shares of unsubscribed
stock was illegal. The action was brought
to prevent the Ferries and Cliff House line
and its branches from joining the street
railway combine. 1t was commenced be-
fore Judge Slack, and be sustained the de-
PENDANTS demurrer to the complaint.
From that decision an appeal was taken.

said, and the Report was quick to follow

tion was conferred by the solemn act OF
ordination of the Unitarian Conference.
For some time past Mrs. Sarah Pratt Carr

work at Lemoore and her labors have
resulted in the formation of The Unita-
rian Society of Lemoore.
The church which Mrs. Carr has been
instrumental in organizing at Lemoo
and of which she will be pastor is to take
as its motto, Deeds rather than creeds.
Its objects will be. the preamble states, to
look after the interests of religion and
morality and to assist others in bearing
the burden of life. Mrs. Carr is associated
in her work with Rev. Mr.. Schultz, and
these two ministers have begun to extend
the sphere of their operations to Visalia
so successfully that plans are already
formulated for the organization of a
permanent Unitarian society.
The Unitarlans OF Redlands have de-
cided to buy lot and built church, and
when Unitarlans in Southern California
fully decide to do anything it is as well as
done.
Ever since the members of the First
Christian Church on Twelfth street re-
ceIved the resignation of Rev. Robert
Campbell they have been looking about
for well-known preacher to step into his
shoes, but have not yet decided on one.
This morning the pulpit will be filled by
Rev. Edward Davis of Oakland, known as
the aetor-preaeher on account of his
dramatic style of preaching, which has
caused many admirers of the drama to de-
clare that he is loss to the stage.
DR.. John Watson of Queens College,
Queenstown, Canada, is now in Berkeley,
having come by invitation of the Philo-
sophical Union of the State University to
deliver series of philosophical lectures.
Pope Leo is said to have selected the
Princess of Bulgaria as the recipient of the
Golden Rose for this year, in token of his
approval at her opposition to making little
Prince Boris member of the orthodox
faith.
The First Hebrew Congregation of Oak
land has obtained the desired legal author
ity to sell its present synagogue and pur-
chase the new site.
Rev. a. B. Elias. formerly of Sacra-
mentto, but now of Charleston, has been
reelected for three years. His congrega-
ton, which was the first to use a Reform
ritual in America, has adopted the new
Union Prayer book.
The members of the First Congrega-
tional Church are to some extent like
sheep without fold, though the officers
OF Plymouth Congregational Church on
Post street have extended them a general
invitation to worship among the members
of DIR. Williams flock. There is a rumor
that Catholic capitalists intend to buy the
First Church and present it TO Archbishop
Riordan for Catholic mission.

evening on doubt as a Factor in Prog
ress."
The congress closed with the singing OF
the Battle Hymn of the Republic" W. @.
Campbell leading and the vast assemblage
joining in the chorus.
During the last verse great enthusiasm
was manifest. hats, handkerchiefs and
bouquets waving all over the hall, while
Mrs. Van Pelt fetched an American flag
and draped it over the shoulders of the
Rev. Miss Shaw and Miss Anthony.
And then amid storm of cheering the

SEARCHED FOR A LEAK,
Serious Explosion of Gas in a
Flat at 400 Post
Street.

A search with lighted match for a
leak in the gas pipes in the lower fiat 400
Post street resulted in an explosion last
night which caused the widest excite
ment for few minutes.
Charles Lenhart, manager for the Mon
arch card machines, was moving into the
fat, and was being assisted by three young
men-James Scully of 5E Harriet street,
James Langstaff of 623 Harrison, and Gus
Deaver, Jessie, near Seventh.
The last load had been taken to the
house about 9 o'clock, when Deaver
thought he smelied escaping gas in the
kitchen. Langstaff was standing in the
rear door, Lenhart at the door of the
kitchen and Scully was going toward the
front door for looking-glass when Deaver
lit match and turned on the gas. There
was an explosion which was heard three
blocks away. Deaver was thrown against
Lenhart, and both fell on top of each
other; Langstaff found himself on his back
in the yard, and Sculiy was blown out of
the front door and landed on the street.
The front door was blown from its hinges
and torn in pieces.
Scully was picked up in an unconscious
condition and taken to Hughes drug
store, on the corner of Powell and Post,
where for half an hour Warren Stilson,
the clerk, used oxygen gas on him to pro-
duce artificial respiration. The ambulance
then arrived with DR.. Bunnell and Scully
was taken 10 the Receiving Hospital,
where he soon regained consciousness.
He complained of a pain in his back,
where be thought something had struck
him, and also of pain in his eyes.
Deaver was badly burned about the
hands and ears, and had them attended to
ct Hughes drugstore. Langstaff and Len
hart escaped with slight burns.
1t was fortunate that both the front and
rear doors were open, otherwise the build
ing would have been seriously damaged
and the four men severely if not fatally
iniured

G. B. Larkin, an old man living at 1124
Howard street, made fatal mistake yes
terday morning by swallowing dose of
laudanum instead of cough mixture.
He got up at 6 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and after milking his two COWS he sat
down 20 read the morning paper till his
wife cooked his breakfast A severe fit of
coughing came on and he reached up to
the corner of the mantelpiece and took
what he thought was his bottle o. cough
mixture. He took the laudanum bottle
instead and swallowed about an ounce and
half. He commenced reading again, but
soon fell asleep. His wife could not rouse
him up and becoming alarmed at seeing
his face turning black she notified the
Receiving Hospital and he was taken there
in the ambulance.
DR.. Rhine, who accompanied the am
bulance, gave him an antidote, and DR..
We'll gave him another an hour or so later.
Everything was done to save his life, but
the poison had got too firm hold upon
his system and he died about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. His body was taken
