pare pasture for this purpose and those
with billy land may easily adapt them

THE FIFE MEETINGS.
Tidal Wave of Religion in Henderson.
Many Conversions.

The Fife meetings are still in progress.
Interest has increased from day to day,
The Hall is crowded at each service,
morning and night.
Mr. Fife has preached some powerful
sermons, beautiful in their simplicity and
convincing in argument He breaches
the Word of God as ii is laid down in the
Book, his talks being characterized by
their directness, clear-cut nature and
intense earnestness The result has been
for good Persons have been moved and
stirred as never before. Christians have
been quickened and strengthened and
sinners converted from the error Of their
ways Hundreds have testified 10y word
and act TO the saving grace of God and
declared a purpose TO live more eircum-
specify in the future.
Many have asked an interest in the
prayers Of Gods people and the Spirit
is moving upon them Gracious as has
been the outpouring Of the Divine Power
still greater things are looked for ere the
meetings close.
Mr.. Fife preached to the colored peo-
pie especially Sunday Afternoon. He had
II great crowd to hear him. His sermon
was prefaced by plain, practical talk
in which he gave them some good advice.
He pleaded for Il ngher standard Of NOR
atty, sobriety, honesty and Christian
character among the colored people, and
they heard him gladly. They appreciated
his sermon, and we believe it will do good.
The singing was an interesting feature Of
the service. 1t was simply great. In the
chapel of the Colored College Mr.. Leavett,
"A deeply consecrated young man. who
has been helping Mr.. Fife, has in his
meetings at various places has preached

promise that | would modify the injunc-
ton SO tnat the old directors might resign
and a new board might be appointed, II
all the parties would agree.
There was an attempt on the part OF
everybody to get new board of directors
of that bank. Mr.. Highton represented
three directors and stockholders. Mr..
and Mccarthy and Hutton represented
some depositors. Between the 9Th and
18th of June we were trying 10 decide
upon a new board of directors, but the
parties there in court never could agree
upon a board of seven directors. The
seven directors of the old board were re p
resented in court. ]. I'll. burst represented
DR.. Bouchey; Mr.. Highton represented
Graves, Jenkins and Montgomery; and
Delmas & Shortrldge Represented Nc
Donald and others. DAlmas & Shortridge
had a mum Der of new men for this direc-
tory, and when their names were pro-
posed Mr.. burst objected to the personnel,
and Mr.. Highton also in way objected.
Then Mr.. burst had some names tc pro-
pose, and Dslmas 81 Shortridge objected.
Then Mr.. Highton asked that the matter
go over until the morning. when he would
present the names of $50 reputable men in
this community, and would read them to
the court and would have all parties agree
that the Judge should mix them up in u
jury-box and draw out seven names, one
by one. who should be declared and
agreed upon as the new board.
"Mr. Highton brought the list the next
day, but nobody would agree to his plan.
Mr.. Shortrluge and his clients objected to
it. One day Deimas came into court and
charged me with having promised un-
qualifiedIy that 1 would allow those
directors to resign, and denied his state
ment and challenged proof"
Mr.. Foote, in reply to an objection by
the defense, expressed the opinion that
Judge Hebbard should have fined and i'm
prisoned Mr.. Delmas for contempt, for
telling the court that he had violated his
promises.
THAT is sapping the very foundations
of Justice" added Mr.. Foote, apparently
working himself up into great passion.
Judge Daingerfield did not appear to be
very much impressed by the remark !;
neither did the crowd of depositors in
court. who were thinking of the money
they had put into the Peoples Home Saw
ings Bank, and vino did not appear to be
fretting about the foundations of justice,
Slapped or otherwise.
Then the court adjourned until 1C
o'clock this morning.

UNITED FOR THE
LEGISLATURES AID
Association of Improvement
Clubs Hard at
Work.
Senators-Elect Dryer snd Braun
hart Made Some Sug.
gestions.
DR.. Taylor Advocated a New Charter
as the Thing Essential to the
Public Business. -

The Association of Improvement Clubs
last evening elected officers and then pro-
ceeded to consider suggestions regarding
legislation which might ne procured
affecting directly the interests of San
Francisco. Mayor-elect Phelan, president
of the association, declined to be consid-
cred candidate for reelection and the
election resulted as follows:
President. George R. Fletcher; first vice
president, John H. Gray second vice.
president, C. D. Salfield; recording secre-
| tary, P. Schwartz; corresponding secre-
tary, ]. G. Maloney; treasurer, f. w. M.
Lange; sergeant-at-arms, Mr.. Cahill, the
incumbent. William Metzner and w. L.
Williamson were elected members of the
credentials and finance committees re-
spectively, Messrs. McEwen and Mag ire
having refused. The other members OF
| the committees remained.
Prior to the election of officers the Polk
street Improvement Club was admitted to
membership. Several matters were con-
sidered. The secretary was instructed to
| send a communication to the Board of
| Health in reference to the open sewer in
Sanchez and Liberty streets, which is not
far from public schools which have been
| closed on account OF diphtheria. The law
com mittee was auth orized to recommend
an ordinance to the Supervisors to pro-
hibit Objectionable trades and occupations
within certain limits. This was brought
about by discussion concerning graders
camps.
The special order of the evening was the
| discussion of possible legislative measures.
Senator Dwyer spoke about the Pest
house location, and it vas voted that il
should be located outside of San Fran
cisco.
The committee on laws was instructed
! to communicate with Judge Hunt pre-
| paratory to drawing bill In reference to
blackmail suits brought to cloud real es-
| tate titles.
Senator Braunhart made little speech
| favoring the restoration of the veto power
OF the Mayor; favoring also a law to pre-
vert collision in making assessments for
taxation collusively to favor tax shirkers;
also condemning the multiplication of
offices, expressing the opinion that four
Police Judges were too many and that an
other Superior Judge was not needed.
He also said that salaries could be re-
duced, and that the fees of shorthand re-
porters were too high. He concluded

han, but that the implication was thai
Judge Hebbard carelessly, negligently and
inadvertently allowed these things to be
done, and that Judge should not be care
less, negligent or inadvertent. The de.
tense proposed to prove by the witness
that Watt did scheme to have board oil
directors elected in his interest.
The court ruled that if the matter had
been brought to the attention of Judge
Hebbard and was within his knowled ge
he, the court would admit the evidence.
Otherwise not.
Mr.. Henley said that he could prove il
by other witnesses, and Mr.. Dixon was &C.
cordingly Withdrawn.
Attorney Bartnett was recalled for the
purpose of relating what happe ned at q
meeting of the board of directors on Janu-
ary IA, 1895. when a blanket resolution an.
proving of the acts of the receiver was
passed.
Mr.. Foote objected and Mr.. Henley pro.
posed to prove that Mr.. Watt had ap-
peared at a meeting of stockholders and
had reported to them certain expendi-
lures, while he withheld from them infor-
nation as to other expenditures. This
was circumstance tending to prove the
truth of one of the allegations of the cir
been squandered and otherwise improperly
used.
The court sustained the objection.
Mr.. Thornton asked the witness whether
he had had any knowledge of an iniunc-
ton about to be served on the board OF
directors prohibiting the voting of the
344O shares held by Jenningson.
There was another objection and the
court sustained it. While Mr.. Henley was
commenting on the ruling, Mr.. Foote in
terrupted him by remarking that the court
had passed upon the matter and that Mr..
Henley was simply wasting time.

Alvarado, a case that had been pending
for twenty-seven years, and In TWO years
General Sheehan and his felloW-com mis-
sioners wound up the case.
The witness did not recommend James
Alva Watt as General Sheehan's attorney,
but he had approved of the appointment
afterward. He told General Sheehan that
the court might never be in a position to
make him any allowance for his services
as receiver The general said that that
was all right, and that he would like to
appoint Mr.. Watt as his attorney. The
witness agreed, and that night General
Sheehan broken into the bank and took
possession of 1t.
Atthat time Delmas IL Shortridge were
attorneys for tue bank, and the next day
S. M. Shortridge visited the witness in his
cham bers and said: Judge, l wish you
would discharge this receiver and vacate
that injunction. don't think you have a
right to do this under the law"
The witness refused to do as Mr.. Short
ridge had suggested, and the next day Mr..
Delnias came into court and asked Judge
Hebbard orally to do the same thing that
Mr. Shortridge had asked. The witness
said:
"Mr. DeImas, I refused Mr.. Shortridge
already doing this, exparte, but if you
will file paper will give you an order
to show cause. Mr.. Delmas said, little
testify, I don't want your order
''Some days afterward there was an
order to show cause in this matter" con-
tinued the witness. before that was
heard, Mr.. Mccarthy and Mr.. Hutton, l
believe, did come into my chambers; l
dout know whether any one else was
present or not We had general talk
about getting new board OF directors that
would be satisfactory to everybody. After
ward Mr. Delmas came in, and we had a
good deal of discussion about it, and did

OUT OF THE PEOPLES BANK

Hebbard Libel Case Before Judge Daingerfeld
Yesterday

Have you any vouchers for that pay
ment?"
Mr.. Foote objected to the question as
irrelevant. The witness had already testi.
ned that he had expended $42,995, and
that statement should cover the whole
subject.

8, 1894, SCOOP
A like objection was m ade.
'How much did James Alva Watt re-
ceive from you as receiver for his services
during the period named?"
Mr.. Foote objected again, and the wit
ness replied that he knew what was the
sum total allowed by the directors. Mr..
Foote proposed to admit that Mr.. Watt
received for his services $500 per month
during the period from May 10, 1894, to
January 9, 1895.
Mr. Thornton said that he proposed to
show that Watt had drawn $3250 out OF

otficio He was also made a member of
all committees on legislation.
DR.. Taylor of the Citizens Charter Asso-
citation spoke concerning the veto power
of the Mayor, which, in his opinion, has
not been taken away. He expressed the
view that, while the consolidation act
might be amended by general law, it
would be only a patchwork, and that
nothing would fill present requirements
short of new charter.

were referred to committees.
