cidcntally killed u colored boy. was last

The churches, were filed with oolored
people, In anticipation OF the comments
ON the case from the pulpits. In many

trict Attorney Blrney, who IL q Repub-
lican, came In for share Of the criticism,
and It was said that che colored people

1Hs s1AnFo 0 CASE.
United States Supreme Court Decides In Fa-
yor of the Widow.


WAsHINGToS, March The supreme
court Monday decided tho Stanford casa
in favor OF Mrs. Stanford. The title OF
the case is the United States VS.. Jane l..
Stanford, exccutrix OF Leland Stanford,
deceased. lt involved the individual liza.
bllity Of stockholders In the Central Pa.
cilc Railroad company for the debt due tho
United States on the bonds issued in aid
OF tho Central Pacific under the Callfor-
mia constitution. Mr.. Stanford held l4i,-
3S7 shares OF the Central Pacific stock and
IL was claimed by the government
instituting It's suit that the government
was entitled to collect SIS 237, 900 from tho
Stanford estate. This contention was re-
sisted by Mrs. Stanford on the ground that
the California constitution was not self
ruling and also on the plea shat IL was
the intention of congress III granting aid
10 the Central Pacific company TO put it
on footing different from the footing
on which other government aided roads
were placed.
The case was brought originally in the
circuit court for the California district
where the decision was favorable to Mrs.
Stanford and was then appealed to the
circuit court of appeals for the Ninth cir
cult, whore the decision was also against
the government. Tho government APP
pealed TO the supreme court and MS soon
as the case was dockete1 moved to
have 10 advanced for hearing This mo-
ton being granted tho Tgument was
made. during January.. enanent counsel
appearing on both sides. sfhe suit has
attracted great attention fom its initiil'
tion because of tho effect tto odscislon viii
have upon the other Centr.r Pacific stock
holders and also because the fortunes OF
tho Stanford univorsityi will be de-
termined largely by the decision.

declares that the silver question obscures

With the silver question before the people
the tariff Is in total eclipse. Governor
