REVERSED THE DECISION,
The Supreme Court Renews the
Injunction in the Paahua
Case.
Nevada Bank Will Not Vote Rudolph
SpreckelS' Stock at the Next
Election.

The Supreme Court yesterday overruled
the action of the Superior Court in the
case of Rudolph Spreckels against the Ne
vada Bank. The decision does not materi-
ally affect the merits of the case, however
merely preventing the voting of block of
stock at the coming election of officers of
the Paahua Plantation Company of ha-
waii. The history of the case as submit
ted to the Supreme Court is that the
trouble started with the purchase of $780,
600 worth of Hawaiian bonds by c. A.
Spreckels from Claus Spreckels, c. A.
Spreckeis pledging collateral securities to
secure payment. Rudolph Spreckels
pledged 5000 shares OF Paahua Plantation
Company bonds, valued at $1,000 per share,
under an agreement with Claus Spreckels
that the stock should not be transferred
out of the owners name on the books of
the company until after the maturity of
the debt.
Claus Spreckels transferred the securi-
ties to the Nevada Bank when one-half of
the debt was paid and one-half of the Sc
curities return ed. 1t is claimed that the
securities retained are of greater value
than the amount Of the remaining debt.
The bank threatened to return the secur-
tiles to Hawaii to he transferred from the
owners name, that the stock might be
voted at the next election of Paahua
Company officers when Rudolph Spree k
els enjolned them from so doing. The
Superior Court dissolved the injunction
and the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, which has reversed that decision,
so the injunction is again in force.

The Christian pastors met yesterday
afternoon in the Y. NJ. C. A. building, and
appointed Professor Elston of Berkeley
temporary chairman. Officers will be

Rev. Edwards Davis of Oakland ad-
dressed the meeting on the divine COM
mand to love one another. He pointed
out that Love we one another is an ideal
command, difficult of fulfillment as long
as man is mortal, and he gave as his opin-
ion that the way to make the command
easy of fulfillment is for men and women
to strive to become lovable.
In the discussion Rev. II. V. Morgan of

reaches the truest state there will bemuch

and he treasures the incidents and anec-

Here is one which he tells on Simon Cam

General Cameron and his friend. Judge
Thurman, were enjoying together the twi-
light hour, both in contemplative mood.
After period of silence Thurman said {:
General, don't you think both of us had
better be thinking of st. Peter? You are
older than 1, and 1 know you will die
first. Then you will go up to the gates of
heaven and be forced to wander around

the best of your youth to the Democratic
party; that you became 'ishy,' that is.
Republican in faith. when possibly it
would have been well for a good rnany
more Democrats to have turned with YOU.
But will tell st. Peter that, though YOU
are Republican now, you are a stanch
American and he had better let Won in

court that when you get in you will insist
upon having the appointment of all the of.
ticers of st. Michaels army, and every one
there will be a Pennsylvania or the SON

This, of course, referred to Cameron
well-known devotion to his friends and
his success in securing appointments for
them. At the close of this conversation.
after another silence, Thurman said

The Volunteers of America EndeavOr
to Organize on This Coast.
Staff Captain Gardner the officer in
charge of the Volunteers Of America on
the Pacific Coast, was in the City yester-
day on business. He finds the nucleus for
a fine post already, and many are signify

The staff captain is well pleased with
the outlook throughout the State, but is
hampered somewhat by lack of officers.
He refutes the statement that the Volun-

from the English organization. "But any
officers" says Mr.. Gardner, who sever
their connections honorably with the old
movement and seek admittance to the

HEBREW CIRCLES AROUSED.
Comment on the Thanksgiving Proc.
lamation of the President.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 23.-Considerable
interest has been aroused in Hebrew
circles here by the language used by
President Cleveland in his Thanksgfv-
ing proclamation. The particular words
are: Asking a continuance of hea-
venly favor through the mediation of
Him who taught us how to pray"
The Rev. DIR. A. Guttmacher of the
Baltimore Congregation, who is to de-
liver the Thanksgiving address next
Thursday at the Union services, Har
Sinai Temple, said to-day: Il cannot
bring myself TO believe that slight was
intended. President Cleveland is too
broad minded a ~, to stoop to secta-
rian prejudices."
The Rev. Tobias Schonfarber, Rabbi
of the Har Sinai Temple, said: THE
President made a big mistake. His
meaning is plain, and / do not see how
it could have been otherwise than IN
territorial. The Government of this
country has nothing to do with anyone's
religion 1t is questionable whether
any Thanksgiving proclamation should
be sent forth by any President. JEFF
ferson refused to issue proclamation,
on the ground that such matters had
nothing to do with the Government of
the country"

A TIN BOX AND THREE CARDS.
A New Yorker the Victim of an Old
Time Swindle

CORNING On. ", Nov. 23.-Spier
Berry was victim of an old-time
swindle, that of the tin box and the
three-card trick to-day.
For several days a well-dressed man
has been trying to arrange for the pur-
chase of one of Berrys farms at Can
ton, near here. To-day the supposed
land purchaser and Berry started out
to drive to see the farm, met a pooXA.,
dressed man who said he was from the
South and had lost a sum of money at
cards in this place last night.
The Southerner did not mourn much,
as he displayed large roll of bills and
had money in every pocket. He began
to show the three-card trick at which
he lost his money last evening. The
well-dressed swindler and Berry be-
came interested, and the former bet 81
with the second stranger, which he
won. Then he suggested to Berry that
they play for a stake of $1,000, of
which the well-dressed stranger was to
furnish s., 200 and Berry $500. Berry
consented, and came to the city and
drew the money from the bank. They
returned and found the poorly dressed
stranger waiting for them. The money
was placed in a tin box, and the swind-
Ter said he would have to go to Elmira
to get the $4,000. Both the swindlers
consented to allow Berry to take care
of the box, and they started off. When
Berry opened the box he found it con-
tanned nothing but a stone and some
paper.
Berry made considerable of his money
digging gold in California.

NO ATTENTION WILL BE PAID IT
The Incident of Delaware Students
Destroying a Spanish Flag.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Span
ish Legation is not likely to make any
complaint to this Government with
reference to the action of the students
at Newcastle, Del, few days ago, who
destroyed a Spanish flag. There is no
Spanish Consul at Newcastle, and the
incident to that extent was robbed of
any official character Moreover. both
the Spanish and American Govern
ments have reached SO perfect an I'M
derstanding with reference to circurn-
stances of this character that little If
any importance is attached to them.
1t was said at the State Department
to-day that If Spanish flag displayed
from a Spanish Consulate or warship
had been offered an indignity the at
tention of the State Department would
be at once directed to the matter and a
suitable apology demanded. 1t is re-
garded as not unlikely that the lingo
press of Spain may attempt to magnify
the incident but there is excellent au-
thority for the statement that it will
receive no official attention, either at
the hands of the American or Span
ish authorities.

Hard-Earned Savings.
The Woman Instantly Killed and the
rlan Fatally WOunded-The Thur

Have a Hard Time Preventing the
Populace From Stringing the
Prisoners Up to a Tree.

WILKESBARRE Pa.), Nov. 23.-Ihe
mining town of Nesquehoning, in car
bon County, was the scene of the Wild
est excitement yesterday when IL De
came known that a terrible murder had
been committed the victims being MIS-.
Caspar Laboye and her husband. Inc
former was instantly killed and the lat
ter fatally wounded.
The perpetrators of the CRIME were
three Hungarians, who were arrested py
a number of men while attempting 10
make their escape, and had 1t not peeh
for the interference of the police all three
would have been lynched. The prison.
ers were taken to Mauch Chunk, and are
now in Jail awaiting hearing.
The Laboyes have always been looked
upon as upright, Woodworking people,
and during the past ten years have &C
cumulated quite a snug sum OF money.
To secure their hard-earned money,
which was supposed to be hidden IN
their home, the murderers entered the
house at an early hour in the morning.
On hearing their footsteps Mrs. La
boye became aroused and awakened her
husband. A moment later, and at the
sight of one of the intruders, Laboye
jumped from his bed and a scuffie en-
sued, but before he could do anything
the three grabbed him, and in an in
slant he lay PROSTATE on the floor.
Mrs. Laboye started for the street to
give an alarm, but before she had
reached the foot of the stairs she was
overpowered by one of the Hungarians,
who buried the blade of a stilleto deep
into her breast, causing almost instant
death.
The robbers then became alarmed on
hearing noise on the outside, but be-
fore escaping from the residence they
slashed' Laboye with their knives in a
most horrible manner, leaving him, as
they supposed, dead on the floor.
When it became known that a murder
had been committed, posse of citizens
was formed and a thorough search was
made fer the assassins. Every foot OF
ground was gone over in the neighbor-
hood, and on reaching an old shanty
near the railroad station they found
three burly Hungarians. They were be-
spattered with blood, and each had the
appearance of having been engaged in
a struggle. They could give no account
of themselves, not being able to speak
English, and it was all the officers could
do to keep the people from stringing
them UP to a tree.

ROBERT J. INGERSOLL.
Will Remain at His Home i'm New
York Until Restored to Health.

NV YORK, Nov 23.-CoIonel r.
G. Ingersoll, who was taken i'll after a
lecture at Freeport, ILL.,. Thursday
evening, arrived in this city last night.
In the early part of last week he had
three attacks. the first at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, while delivering a lecture, which
he managed to finish, and the second
and third attacks at Madison and Be-
lott. Wis. On Thursday he was found
to be suffering from a severe attack of
sciatica, and was taken to the Great
Northern Hotel, Chicago, on Friday.
He was attended by a prominent ply
stefan of Chicago, who declared that all
Mr.. Ingersoll needed was two weeks of
complete rest. He left Chicago Satur-
day, and upon his arrival in this city
last night was met by few relatives
and driven directly to his residence,
where he will remain until he is fully
restored to health. He was very much
fatigued, but walked from his carriage
into the house without any assistance.
