A correspondent writing from
Washington, D. c., to the st. Louis
Republic, has the following concern
ing Justice Field: Justice Stephen
J. Field has about reached his dotage.
He is physically and mentally break
ing up. His colleagues On the bench
have not permitted him to prepare any
decisions for several months past,
and it requires two attendants to
10Y him about. The ambition of
Fields life is to live until Cleveland's
successor reaches the White House.
The Justice hates Cleveland because
the President refused to make him
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at
the time Fuller was appointed. Field
is about 80 years OF age, and has
always been a disgrace to the bench.
Imitation is the sincerest form of
hattery. Since Olcovich Bros, re-
duced prices on dry goods other have
initiated and followed, but they'll
never catch us. We propose to keep

ADJUSTING STOCKTON CLAIMS.
Valley Road Managers Keep the Prom
ises Made 10 Property
Owners.

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 2. Several
months ago the property-owners on Tay-
lor street, along which the Valley road
runs, entered protest against the high
embankment raised by the road in the
middle of the street which impeded other
traffic and greatly deteriorated the value
of their land. They were assured by Vice
President Watt and Solicitor General Pres
ton, at a meeting held in the rooms of the
Commercial Association, that equitable
settlements for damages would be made
with all the claimants. Some of the more
hot-headed among them were bent on
forcing matters and were anxious 10 bring
suits for heavy damages.
c. s. Yoang, the right-of-way agent of
the Valley road, has arrived here for the
purpose of settling all these claims and
demonstrating that the managers of the
road intend to keep all the promises made
by them to the people of Stockton. Some
of the most violent against the road now
regret that they were bent on hasty ac-
ton. All claims will now be satisfied, and
the people of Stockton will have more
faith in the Valley road than ever

MEXICAN , TOWNS
IN A HURRICANE
Pochutla, Huatulco and
Their Surroundings
in Ruins.
Four Lives Lost by Flying
Wreckage and Raging
Streams.
Devastation of COFFEE Plantations Com.
p,ete, the Loss Being Estimated
at 100000.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Dec. 2.-The towns
of Pochutla and Huatulco, in the State OF
Oaxaca, Mexico, were visited by ire
mendous hurricane on the night of No
vember IL, and serious damage was done
in the towns and on the coffee plantations
surrounding them.
So far as known, only four lives were
lost. Enrique Leon and his brother Fede-
rico, owners of fine finca four leagues
from Huatulco, were killed by the falling
walls Of their adobe house, and their fore
man, Gregorio Machado, was killed in the
patio, where he had run to escape, by
holding on to the roots of an orange tree.
Near Pochutla woman was drowned in
the San Andreas River while attempting to
cross to her children, who were huddled
on the opposite bank in the ruins of their
home.
The settlements around Pochutla and
Huatulco include thrifty German and
Scotch colonies, and immense sums have
been expended in setting out coffee plan
tations.
The storm wrought fearful havoc among
the tender orchards. on some fincas COM
pletely destroying the labor of the past
three years. and leaving the land barren
OF crops as well as houses. In the neigh
borhood OF Pochutia alone nearly 100000
trees were set out. Guido Richter leading
on the Alemania finca with 1875, 900 trees,
and Leo Won Brandenstein being next
with 10000. On the former plantation
ten houses were blown down and $4,000
trees destroyed. On the latter place all
the houses of the MoZos were swept away
and they were left homeless in the storm.
On the finca Eel Yschil, owned by A. c. NJ.
Machair, the ranchhouse was blown down.
the warehouse destroyed and most of the
crops deluged with water and sand, which
was a river during the storm, and left a
bed of sand in the middle of the formerly
fertile land.
Ali the houses occupied by the Mozos
were blown down, except two, and trees
of all kinds flew through the air. On
some ranches where the trees were not de-
stroyed great loss resulted from the shak-
ing down of berries. Samuel Lederer's
fnca Camilla suffered severely in this
manner, and the finca Carmen, owned by
ID. l.. Crawford of Edinburgh, suffered in
the loss of coffee berries and in the de-
struction of crops already harvested.
Smeaton Bros, owners OF the San Andreas
ranch, lost heavily in trees blowing down,
houses demolis he'd and covering of coffee
lands by sand.
The country after the storm looked
desolate in the extreme, roads having
been destroyed, houses disappeared. trees
torn up and the face of the country scanned
with great gulIies. The loss to the coffee
growers can only be estimated wildly, but
it is thought that it will reach $500, 900.

Spasms of Excite
ment.
Mrs. Culbertson of San Francisco

Humanity.

Grasp of Doctor, Who
Sought TO Wed Her.

STOCKTON, CAL. Dec. Local China
town was thrown Into a wild fever of ex-
element this afternoon by the supposed
kidnapping of a Chinese girl by Miss Cul-
bertson of the Chinese Mission in San
Francisco, in which she was aided by the
police. The Chinese residents on Ell Do.
RADIO street. near Washington. were sur
prised to see hack drive rapidly up to
the drugstore of DR.. Ma Tosa Ting and a
well-dressed woman alight. A young girl
came out from the store and had hurried
conversation with the lady, then disap-
peared in the place, coming out few
minutes later and entered the hack, which
was rapidly driven away. The proceed
ings were so sudden that DR.. Ting at first
could not comprehend them and he left
the store to gather his friends and prevent
the flight of the girl. When he returned
with his clan, however, the prize had
flown.
Ting sought the aid Of Lee Yuen. a court
interpreter, and they reported the matter
10 the police, who knew of the details OF
the flight beforehand.
The hack containing Mrs. Culbertson
and the girl was driven to the Sacra-
mento-street depot, but soon throng of
Cinnamon, headed by DR.. Ma Tosa Ting,
appeared on the scene, and the two fed,
taking another hack. in which they were
driven to French Camp, about five miles
south of here, aud caught the San Fran
cisco train, there eluding their pursuers.
The girl who was taken away is the
daughter of a woman who used to live
with DR.. Ma Tosa Ting, but died some
time ago. The girl came here about three
months ago at the solicitation of Ting
who soon set about to gain her hand in
marriage. The girl was well known to
the Chinese Mission in San Francisco
and when she saw Ting's designs wrote to
Mrs. Culbertson. The lady arrived here
yesterday, and upon inquiring of Chief of
Police Kingsbury found her whereabouts.
The girl was perfectly willing to go, al
though Ting maintains that she was kid
naped. He telephoned TO friends in San
Francisco to shadow the lady on her ar
rival there and left himself tonight for
the metropolis.

consisting of about thirty-fve miles of

sold to-day to Judge Thomas Burke. rep
resenting the bondholders, for $139, Col.
There was a total indebtedness.o of about
$780, 600 against tho property.
The affair results in the financial col
lapse of d. T. Denny, who prior to 1898
was estimated TO be worth So, 900, 000 In
that year he sought to get control of the
entire street railway system of Seattle
about seventy miles all told. He would
probably have succeeded but for the great
panic, which found him. in debt more than
So, 000 600. In order to prevent his BROTH
er's business ruin an effort was made to gel
A. A. Denny, the founder of Seattle, to go
to d. rs assistance, but he declined to
do so.
The sale of this great property was
conducted by Master-in- Chancery Eben
Smith, under the direction of the Federal
court. 1t was put up several times, but
the purchasers were not on hand. Judge
Hanford decided that the property should
bring no less than $4,000, an amount
sufficient to pay SS0,000 of receivers GER
tificates and other outstanding claims, in
Guiding Judgment for 5000 In favor of
Annie M. Sears for personal injuries sus-
tanned five years ago. This action was
carried twice to the Supreme Court of the
State and once TO the Circuit Court of
Appeals.
Judge Burke represented more partic-
uIarly Henry s. Boutelie, N. w. Harris,
Albert Chester. II. w. Bartol and Allen
Forbes, Eastern capitalists, constituting
the reorganization committee of first
mortgage bondnolders. Lawyer Will h.
Thompson, representing w. H. Vincent,
a Spokane capitalist, bid $3.50, 900 for the
property. But for the insistence of Judge
Hanford that the Sears judgment should
be protected it is said that The property
would have been bought in for nomlnaI
figure, as all the receivers certificates are
reported to be held by the stockholders of
the road.

ago it was conceded that the River Ex-
