ANGUS-CRAVEN CASE.
Ex-Judge Aitken Again n the Wit
ness Stand

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-Ex-
Judge John r. Aitl6in resumed the wit
ness stand when the trial of the Angus
Craven case was taken up to-day by
Judge Slack, and after long argument
was permitted to relate the conversa-
ton which he had with Martin Kelly
with reference to the pencil deeds
which Mrs. Craven had asked him to
swear to having seen in 1895. He
stated that when he met Kelly by ap-
pointment after the interview with Mrs.
Craven he asked him whether the prop
osition to swear that he had seen the
deeds was the business upon which he
desired to see him. Kelly replied that
it was, and urged him to get into the
case, as it was the opportunity of a
lifetime for the making of his fortune.
Witness replied that he did not care or
wish to have anything to do with the
matter, and expressed surprise that
Kelly should have thought that he
would lend himself to anything of that
sort. During the trip down Kelly told
him what Mrs. Craven wanted and as
sured him that there was no possibility
of his endangering himself as Notary
Cooney had already testified that the
certificates upon the deeds were all
right. Finally Aitken asked Kelly by
whom the deeds were written. Witness
was not allowed to state this very in
teresting part of the conversation, the
objection of counsel for Mrs. Craven
being sustained, but he was permitted
to state that Kelly had urged him
twenty or more times after that to get
into the case, promising him that if he
did SO he would never be called upon
to testify as the matter would be set
tied out of court.

DECLARED DEAD, BUT IS ALIVE.
George r. Clark, Who is an Inmate of
an Insane Asylum.

OAKLAND, June 25.-George r.
Clark, according to the judicial decree
of the Alameda County Courts. is dead.
The fact is, however, that he is alive.
although the last thirteen years of his
life have been passed behind the walls of
the Oregon State Insane Asylum at
Salem. His supposed widow, Mrs Dora
S. Clark of Alameda believed him dead,
and in 1890 the Public Administrator
was granted papers and the estate dis
tributed
In 1894 Mrs. Clark mortgaged the
home in Alameda that had gone to her
throught the Probate Court She Sc
cured $1,000 on the mortgage from
James Stanley. He recently brought
suit to foreclose and while this has been
pending the husband has virtually re-
turned to life. The suit will be con-
tested by the widow, who has become a
wife again, on the ground that the mort
gage is void without her husbands sig
nature.
There has been more tangling of this
skein because of a divorce suit filed by
Mrs. Clark as soon as she learned that
her husband was alive. She charged him
with having wilfully deserted her seven
teen years ago. 1t was only recently dis
covered that the man was in the Salem
aSylum.

MONEYED MEN EXCITED
Over a Decision Rendered by Court
Commissioner Chipmar.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Money
ed men all over the State are much eX-
ercised over the recent decision in the
case of p. w. Murphy VS.. the City OF
San Luis Obispo, rendered by the Su
preme Court.
The opinion, written by Commissioner
Chipman, holds that the words ''paya-
bic in gold coin or lawful money of the
United States" were essential, and that
a municipality or other public corpora
ton could not elect to leave out the
words ''or lawful money and use only
gold coin of the United States" in pre-
scribing how the bonds should be re-
deemed.
The effect of this decision will be to
prevent the sale of any municipal
bonds, unless the decision be reversed
or until the law is amended. The rea-
son is that financial men and money
lending institutions will not pay gold
for bonds which may be redeemed eth
er in currency or silver. The question
has been also raised regarding the le-
gality of bands issued since 1898, in
which the alteration "or lawful money!
has been omitted. A rehearing has
been granted, and the Supreme Court,
appreciating the Importance of the
matter, will pass upon the question in
bank

The Captain of the Steamer Pomona
Thrown Out of Job.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Captain
Peter A. Doran was relieved of his COM
mand of the steamer Pomona on the
arrival of the vessel from Eureka to-
day. 1t appears that during the last
trip between this port and Eureka
Captain Doran drank heavily on the
down trip, and was in such a state
of intoxication that the passengers pro-
tested against permitting him to have
charge of the vessel.
First officer Shea tried to reason with
him, and offered to take charge if the
Captain would go to his cabin, but
the latter refused, and a quarrel en-
sued in which Captain Doran was
floored Sheriff Brown of Humboldt,
who was a passenger on the vessel
aided the first officer, and Captain
Doran was removed to his room. He
appeared this morning and took charge
of the vessel, plotting it into the har-
Dor. He was suspended on arrival and
Captain Cousins of the Arcata was put
in charge.
Captain Doran, who is one of the
best mariners on the coast, has not yet
told his side of the story, and a formal
investigation will be made.

kindly to the early Victorian revival,
which prescribes that woman shall be
able to make her own lingerie. Con-
sequently leisure moments in summer
resorts are utilized for such commend
able work. But not necessarily does
she do much OF it, her time being so
taken up with the thousand duties of
society and to work of one sort or an
other. But she should know how the
fine stitching is done and to be able to
turn her hand to il when leisure mo-
ment allows. One young person, whose
busy life makes it impossible for her
to thread a needle in winter, took
away with her this summer rolls Of
fine linen and lace with which to fill
in rainy hour and dull evenings. She
says that it tires her to be doing moth
