CUT DOWN LAYERS BILL
The Architect Is Offered Three
Hundred Dollars or a
New Trial.
He Sued For Over Eight Thousand,
and Was Allowed Three Thous.
and by the Jury.

Judge Hunt has granted a new trial in
the case of Augustus Laver against A. P.
Hotaling, unless Laver will consent to a
reduction of the Judgment rendered, one
of $1,000, to $500.
There was admitted in evidence rule or
custom of the Institute of Architects by
which the members charge fixed percent
age of the cost of the building to be erected.
1.-THE building be constructed the architects
charge per cent of its cost, if it be not
constructed they charge ~ per cent.
Under this computation Laver sued to re-
cover $8250.
The complaint contained two counts,
one that Hotaling had told Laver to go
ahead as if the plans were for himself,
and in the other count it stated that the
plans must be subject to Mr.. Hotaling's
approval. This inconsistency was re-
marked upon by the Judge in his opinion.
The testimony showed that Laver had not
given thought to Hotaling's approval,
and it therefore was assumed that the first
count in the complaint was the one under
which Laver sought to recover. The
estimated cost of the building was 1926 600.
Several architects were examined and
each gave the opinion that the amount
asked for was correct under the architects
rule. The court held, however, that such
testimony was inadmisslble because, how
ever much one architect might be bound
by this custom when dealing with another,
still an outsider, ignorant of the custom,
could not be held to it. There was no pre-
tense that the defendant was a member of
the association, or that he knew of the
rule.
In view of the error in admitting the
testimony, ana in view of the fact that no
evidence had been introduced showing the
reasonable value of the plaintiffs services.
a new trial is granted unless the plaintiff
agrees to accept $500 as full compensation.
This amount was offered by Hotaling and
went to show that Hotaling ordered the
plans merely because he thought of put
ting up building at some future time,
and not because he had any idea of erect
ing one at once. He limited the cost to
S60, 900, he said on the stand.

UNION STOCKYARD CASE.
B. Fernandez Suing Tormey and
Wife for Sixty Thousand
Dollars.
Defendant Is President of the Big
Cattle Company in Contra
Costa County.

The trial of the Union Stockyard case
began at Martinez yesterday.
1t is litigation involving $4,000, and
before conclusion is reached it is ex-
pected there will be many interesting if
not sensational facts brought out con-
cerning the company.
Bernardo Fernandez, wealthy resident
of Contra Costa County, is the plaintiff,
and Patrick Tormey, president of the
Union Stockyard Company, is the de-
fendant. The suit may be regarded as an
outgrowth of the foreclosure on $3.50, 600
worth of the company's bonds by the Safe
Deposit and Trust Company some time
ago.
The present suit, however, is in fore
closure of mortgage in the sum of $62,
742 II, held by Fernandez against Tormey.
1t was made in August, 1893, to secure
Fernandez on promissory note for the
amount named. Lands Of extensive acre
age in Contra Costa County are covered by
the mortgage, and they were originally
pledged to secure Fernandez against any
loss which might occur by reason OF his
assigning certain note, executed by
Annie Tormey, defendants wife and also
co-defendant, in favor of Harry Rogers.
Tormey, as president of the stockyard
company, had occasion to borrow large
sums of money from time to time. and
Rogers is one Of the capitalists from
whom he secured heavy loan. The
money was not borrowed all at once, hut
was advanced in smaller sums.
Fernandez, the wealthy Spanish land
owner, came to the assistance of his friend
Tormey and assumed the payment of sew
eral of the notes, for which he was secured
by the mortgage as already described

day, as did representatives of the firm of
Stanly, Hayes & Bradley, which is look
suit will be tried before Judge John p.
Jones of the Superior Court of Contra
Costa County.
The principal point at issue is as to the
value of the property. 1t is asserted that
the lands covered by the mortgage have
diminished in value.

The Inchcape Rock Nearly
Went Down While Round
ing the Horn.
ONE MAN WAS TORN TO PIECES,
Captain Armour, an Apprentice Bow
and Sailor Also. Lost Their
Lives.

Down sank the bell with gurgling sound,
The bubbles rose and burst around;
Quoth Sir Ralph, 1.-THE next who comes to the rock
Won't bless the abbot of A Aberbrothock.''
This verse is one of several that were en-
graved on the windows of the British ship
Inchcape Rock. During hurricance en-
countered off the Horn all of them save
one were washed away by great wave.
and now all that is left of the story is the
verse quoted, surmounted by bell.
Inchcape Rock is one of the most dan
gerous places on the coast of Scotland.
Ship after ship had been lost on it and the
wreckers along the coast reaped a rich
harvest. Among them was Sir Ralph the
Rover, who grew rich on the spoil gathered
from the sea, and finally he fitted out a
vessel to rove the Mediterranean. While
he was getting ready the good priests of
Aberbrothock decided to place signal on
the treacherous 1nchape Rock in order to
warn the unfortunates who might be
too close inshore on foggy night or morn
ing. A bell was procured and during
calm day it was fastened to the rock and
thenceforth warned all the coasters that
they were in a dangerous position.
AS soon as Sir Ralph the Rover had his
piratical craft in commission the first
thing he did was to sail out to Inch
cape Rock and cut the bell from its fasten-
ings. This act is the only remains OF the

CONVICT-MADE GOODS.
The National Manufacturers Associa
tion at Chicago Will Act Upon
HTaftor

Labor Commissioner E. l.. Fitzgerald
will start for the East within a week or
two to investigate the question of convict
made goods that are shipped to this State
and sold in competition with goods made
by free labor. 1t was his intention to be
present at the convention of the National
Manufacturers Association, which will be
held in Chicago a little later in this month.
However, he will not be able to reach
Chicago in time to attend the convention,
but he has seer ]. W. Nelson, one of the
delegates, who will leave at once for Chi
cago, and who will represent the Labor
Commissioner. Mr.. Nelson is the presi-
dent of the Oakland Preserving Company.
He will introduce for the Labor Commits
sioner the following resolution relative to
convict made goods:
WHEREAS, The manufacturers of the United
States in convention assembled have under
consideration the manufacture of commercial
articles by convict labor, and it is showed that
the said convict labor is a menace to the well
fare of the manufacturing and laboring inter
eStS OF the country; and whereas. the sense of
this convention is that while we recognize the
necessity OF keeping the conviets employed in
such institutions, in order that the mental and
physical condition of the inmates may not be-
come impaired and the revenue derived from
their labor tends to axe the said institutions
self-suStaln1ng, we deplore the effect the sur
plus amount of such manufactured articles
causes when the same are placed on sale in our
markets in competition with the fabric OF free
laDor; and whereas, the said convict-made
goods are sold in open competition with tree
made goods, without brand or other distin-
gushing mark of Identification; therefore,,
be 1t
ReSolued That the Legislature of every State

enact the necessary measure to compel the

eles and that each political party be respect

, Hurrah for the Fourth!

At largely attended meeting of
the citizens of Oakland held at
Hamlll & Little's Hall Tuesday
evening last, it was decided to hold
monster Fourth of July demon
stration at Oakland this year, and
to make a special effort to eclipse
any former event of its kind ever
held here. A large number of
committees were appointed from the
business men and others, who will
have full charge Of all details.
There is no reason why Oakland
should not enjoy an occasion such
as this, and as all our former efforts
have been emlnently successful, we
predict for the present one even
greater success. Let the good peo-
pie of our town aid this movement
substantially with their means, and
with the proper management, which
we are assured will be had, we Will
have demonstration that Oakland
may well feel proud of.
The general committee having
full charge of all details is as fol-
lows:
Chairman, Mayor H. W. McCo-
mas; vice chairman, R. S. Jamison;
secretary, James D. Hamill; corre-
spending secretary, Chas. j, New.
man; treasurer, E. |. West.
All committees are requested to
make report at Hamill & Little's
Hall on Friday evening next at
7.30 D. m.

Decoration Day in Oakland.

Memorial Day in Oakland passed
off quietly. The weather was fair
and the rain that usually accom-
panies that day was absent. At
ten O'Clock a. m. parade, consis-
ting of the following orders, was
formed in front of the G. A. R.
headquarters on Alder street:
Smiths Military band, Crook Post
G. A. R., the school children and
Knights of Pythias. The column
commanded by Col A. G, Sturgiss
took up the line of march for the
cemetery, and while listening to
strains of appropriate music the
graves of comrades and friends
were strewn with flowers. After
retuaIstic services conducted by
the G. A. R., the column again
took up the line of march and
disbanded at the starting point.
This was but the repetition of this
beautiful custom the same tale
that is told year by year but the
tottering steps and visages of
these battle scared veterans viyldly
remind us that their work and
their places in the memorial
column will soon have to be taken
by younger and stronger hands.
The game of ball played between
the Oakland Base Ball club and
the business men of Oakland result
ted in victory for the former by
a score of twenty-eight to eight.
We understand that another game
will be played at the East End park
on Saturday next.
