One OF the results OF the Milwaukee
street railway strike is larger increase
in the number OF bicycle riders in that
city.
Bicycles are numerous in Richmond.
The fact is that there is no telling how
popular they have become here.

Second, the issue was unconstitutional be-
cause the act of 1898 was special or class legis-
latiop.
Third, illegal because the amount of $780,
600 exceeded the bonded indebtedness Whlcn
the city OF Santa Cruz could legally con tract
Fourth, the refunding act did not authorize
the issuing OF bonds
Fifth, the bonds were not issued by the city
of Santa Cruz because they were only signed
by the Mayor and City Clerk.
Judge McKenna after reviewing the case
at considerable length said:
The questions involved in all these PROPOSE
tions are close ones, but do not think the
first, second, fourth and fifth can be sustained
Against the third proposition, 10 VIII,
that there was an excessive and illegal Issue Oh
bonds. the complaint urges the recital OF the
bonds. On the controversy hence arising
great many cases have been cited, when l
have carefully studied. | have come to no
confident conclusion. Indeed, the contention
of the defendant is not with certainty pre-
sented in the bill Assuming that there was
limitation of the power of the city, depending
upon the existence of certain conditions OF
fact, the knowledge OF the takers OF the ponus
of the existence of such conditions is not
clearly apparent from the bill, and am there
fore reluctant to base decision on question
OF law, unless there can be no ambiguity ABOUT
the facts.
The court then read numerous decisions
in which the same point was involved, with
the difference that the purchasers fully
understood the conditions OF the purchase
In conclusion Judge McKenna said:
1t is claimed by the defendant that fair In
ference from these averments is that plalntln
knew of the excess of the issue, and hence Is
not 5ona-fide purchaser. But 1t certainly
does not follow, and as there is an ambiguity,
do not care TO base an opinion upon IL, Dut
will reserve it until the answer is filed. The
demurrer of the defendant is therefore over
ruled.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-04
The BON5S ARE VALID.
Judge McKenna Overrules the
Demurrer of the City of
Santa Cruz.
1t Is Generally Thought That This
Practically Settles the Disputed
Point.

Judge McKenna yesterday overruled
the demurrer of the city of Santa Cruz in
the suit brought by Robert II. Waite to
recover the interest on certain bonds.
While the defendants are given twenty
days in which to amend their answer, the
decision of the Circuit Court Judge is re.
garded as practically settling the case.
The action in question was brought by
Waite to recover the interest on bonds
issued by the city of Santa Cruz under the
act of March, 1898, which authorizes any
municipality other than those of the first
Class to refund their indebtedness. In
1894 Santa Cruz owed $36O0OO, and when
the proposition TO refund this was sub
mitted to the people it was carried by q
vote of nearly three to one.
Bonds bearing per cent interest were
accordingly issued for the amount named
above. They were divided into forty
classes of nine bonds each. In May of
last year the interest on the first batch be-
came due. The City Treasurer of Santa
Cruz refused to pay the same, whereupon
Waite instituted suit in the United States
Circuit Court to recover the interest ON
the entire issue of $3.50, 900, amounting to
$21, 300.
The defendants entered demurrer ask
ing that the action be dismissed on the
following grounds:
First, the. bonds were only payable out of
certain funds.

A JAN|TOR IS MISSING,
w. F. Brooks of the Emporium
Has Not Shown Up for
Two Days.
In Debt to His AssiStants-Th Police
Are Looking for the
Fugitive.

Ths management of the Emporium
and also seventeen janitors employed IN
the mammoth building are on a still but
determined hunt for w. f. Brooks, who
up to yesterday occupied the position oi
head ianitor of the mammoth Market
street structure.
Brooks is not only gone but he has
taken with him the months wages of the
aforesaid seventeen ianitors earned by the
sweat OF their brow during the warm day
of July.
When the Emporium building was fin
ished there was great rivalry as to who
would get the plum of head janitor, and
there were many aspirants for the place
Ordinarily ianitor's job is not
a sinecure, but in the care oi
vast building like the Empo.
rum the man Who directs the clean
ers of all the offices is man of some i'm
portance, and has as much patronage to
dispense as many petty politician.
Brooks won the prize, and for some time
things ran smoothly among the EN-
porium janitors.
Brooks collected the wages for the men
and when the joyful period of the month
known as payday arrived he dispensed to
each according to his earnings.
Brooks turned the money over to his
subordinates regularly every month until
the payday for July, which was yesterday,
came around.
Then be failed to materialize with the
coin. His men came as usual for their
stipend, but Brooks was missing, and a
search of his usual haunts failed to locate
him.
Then the management of the place and
the janitors became anxious anu started
out determined to look for him. At his
residence nothing was known of his
whereabouts and the police were finally
notified.
August Feist, president of the EN-
porium Company, when asked last night
about the story said: 'The head janitor
has not shown up for two days and his as
sistants, to whom he owes money, are
fearful that he has skipped.
"The Emporium Company had contract
with Brooks, and is not, of course, re-
sponsiple for any of his mlsdeeds. The
amount he owes cannot exceed few hun
dred dollars. This is all the information I
can give you about the matter"

CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS.
Important Communication Sent by Will
E. Fisher to the Progressive
Associations.

Will E. Fisher. the well-known real
estate agent, sent an important communi-
cation yesterday to the Chamber of Com
merce, the City Board of Trade, the Manu-
facturers and Producers Association. the
Merchants Association and the State
Board of Trade.
1t was lengthy document and pointed
out the necessity of something being done
to promote the sale of California products
and to induce immigration to this State.
He proposed that the five bodies should
combine to form an association with
these two important objects in view,
and to carry them into effect he suggested
that exhibits of the products OF the State
should be maintained at the expense of
the State in the principal centers OF popu-
lation in the East. The exhibits could
be of the same character as those to be
seen in the Board of Trade rooms here.
The exhibits could be placed in the
railroad depots in the large Eastern
cities and a man placed in charge to take
orders for the products, thereby bringing
trade to the producers and at the same
time promoting immigration.

neither father nor myself have leprosy:
If ever get back to Mendocino County |
will sue Day for bringing me down mere
and the county for burning our house.
This is the story of the lad whom the
authorities of Mendocino said was either
leper, insane or was teeble-mindeG and
must be shipped to San Francisco to be-
come burden upon the already over
burdened City.
While the medical experts who have ex-
amined the girl are convinced that she IS
probably suffering from leprosy, they are
not able to determine just what is the
matter with the boy.
They think that he has neuresthenia, a
nervous complaint, either inherited or
brought on by one of number of possible
causes.
After escaping from the City and County
Hospital, he was arrested insthe street and
taken to the City Receiving Hospital,
where he is now confined. In all San Fran
cisco there is no place for the unfortunate
lad. Neither hospital nor the Pesthouse
will have him, and the Commissioners of
Insanity find him too rational for an asy-
lum. 1t is thought by the authorities that
in return for Mendocinos gratuitous gift of
the boy to this City he might be sent
back to that county with thanks. The
family came from the State of Washington
to Mendocino several years ago and have
lived there ever since-long enough to
have acquired residence in that county.
Young Grim's father is probably now in
that locality and can support himself and
son in the WOODS with rife and ak, if the

housed and detained at the Receiving
Hospital, is told to 'move on, and on"
He was first told to move on bv Mendo-
cino County-to move on to San Francisco
and become a burden to this now over
burdened City. 1t was an admirable thing
for Deputy Sheriff Day of Mendocino to
dump Henry Grim, his father and sister,
Lena, out Of hack at the Central police
station here. That was three weeks ago,
The Grims have been living in the woods
on the north fork of Little River, the
father and son cutting tanbark and wood
and the 14-ye old daughter keeping
house in their forest shanty.
The two male Grims are hunters and
large and small game found in the bush
eked out their commlssary department..
Finally word was passed the country
around that the family were lepers. They
had formerly lived in the Hawaiian
Islands, and this, coupled with the fact
that the girl appeared to be afflicted with
the dreadful plague, was enough to make
them unfit for even the wild woods. The
authorities had them examined by the
county physician, and the best way to dis
pose of the lepers was to ship them to San
Francisco. The story of their enforced
journey thlther may be best told by the
lad Henry:
'We were brought down to Ukiah, u
said be yesterday at the Receiving Hos
pital, 'by Deputy Sheriff Day and taken
aboard the train for this City. At the
ferry landing here we were all bundled
into a hack, stagecoach or whatever you
call 1t, by Day, and the driver was told to
take us to this place. Father is lame, hav-
Ing cut his foot some time ago, and his
lulury vas not doctored righ He was
not locked up and l believe he has gone
back home. L forgot to tell you that the
officers of Mendocino County burned our
cabin and everything in 1t after we were
taken away.
Next day my sister was sent to the
festhouse and / was taken to the City and
County Hospital There was locked up
in a room and nearly starved. Nobody
PAID any attention to me, and If l had not
climbed the fence and run away | would
have died. Everybody is hungry there,
and that is the reason they stay sick; they
Just stay in their wards and starve ana

s'If was out in the Mendocino woods at

taken our dogs and killed brown bear,

course by it. And when night came on l
would build fire, cook some of my game
and sleep under tree till morning.

coNvIcT-CUT STONE.
Tho Stonecutters' Union Is Indignant
at the Midwinter Fair Commissioners.

The Stonecutters' Union Is Indignant
at the Midwinter Fair Commissioners
The stonecutters are up in opposition to
the Midwinter Monument which has been
just finished and put in place on ground
where the fair had been held. This op-
position is not because of the monument
itself, but because the stone was cut by
convicts at the Folsom State Prison.
The Stonecutters' Union claims that the
base and cap upon which tue statue stands
were shipped to this City at the same time
that the stone for the Grant monument
came, but the opposition of the trades
unions to the placing of the Grant stone
in the park had a chilling effect upon the
Midwinter Fair Com missioners, and as a
result the stone was boxed up until the
storm blew over, when it was resurrected
and put in place.
The vigilance of the stonecutters did
not abate, however, and they watched the
movements until the discovery was made
that the convict-dressed stone was put in
place Hence their INDIGNATION at the
acts of the Midwinter Fair Commissioners.
