Probate court-Judge CIeaverand.


 Just before the hearing on the case brought to force Smernoff & Schwartz, contractors into insolvency, yesterday, Judge Cleaveland said he wanted to caution the lawyers against taking too much latitude in the discussions in court q would warn you" he said, against provocative remarks and against saying anything that will oc- casion criticism of the court. I would have you know that any statement made by a lawyer derogatory to anoth- CT lawyer or client will not help case, I do not say it will hurt a case; but it surely will not help it."
 These remarks of the judge were brought about by the wordy combat between Lawyers Goodhart and Hanil- ton the day before when the case came up.
 Smernoff & Schwartz, yesterday morning, through their counsel David Strouse, filed voluntary assignment Judge Robertson and Lawyer Hamil- ton, representing creditors, contended that the voluntary proceedings did not defeat the involuntary proceedings. Lawyer Strouse said the voluntary as signment should be accepted by the court.
 The court decided to grant the invol- untary petition and adjudged the con- tractors insolvent. A hearing on the appointment of trustee was set for next Monday.
 Smernoff & Schwartz were the con- tractors on the block built by Joseph Goldreyer in Oak street. The petitions to force both the firm and Goldreyer into insolvency were filed at the same time
 The hearing on the Goldreyer petition will be next Friday.

Court Notes. CITY COURT CASES.

Frank Ruotolo of Fair street was in the city court yesterday morning charged with four cases of criminal as- sault on four girls under the age of twelve years. All the girls live on Fair street and are the daughters of Ital- ian parents. The quartet told their stories to Assistant City Attorney Webb Monday night, and he issued warrants on which the accused was arrested by Detective Daley
 The girls in the case are between the ages of five and ten years. The alleged offences were committed last December and it Is but recently that the girls have made them known. Dr. L. J. Gay nor was called into the cases and his examination corroborated the state ments of the children. Ex-Judge Bly, denburgh appeared for Ruotolo and se- cured a continuance of the cases until June 26 Bonds were fixed in each case at $200 and were furnished by Natale Acunto.
 A TALKATIVE PRISONER.
 Annie Parker was convicted in the city court yesterday morning of four offences of drunkenness. Policeman Michael McDerrnott arrested Annie on Congress avenue Monday night. The officer had the usual trouble in arrest ing her, which was witnessed by Police man John F. Doran.
 Annie was very abusive in court and Judge Dow warned her to be quiet The warning was insufficient, and when Judge Dow fined her $20 and costs for drunkenness she became very insult ing. Judge Dow then imposed a penal ty of $1 fine and ten days in jail for contempt of court. Annie would not yet keep still and Judge Dow increased the jail sentence to twenty days.

no friends were allowed TO see him, and
she, Mrs. Holly, was not TO call as she
would surely be insulted if she did. He
thought anyway he would have 10 go to
San Jose 20 live as his home was not COM
forta Dle.
This tale of woe Mrs. Holly poured in to
the judicial ear for the edification of a
crowded courtroom, and she finished by
saying that 10 her Capron seemed of per-
iectIy sound mind. His doctor had told
him he was good for years yet, whereupon
she suggested that he come to San Jose
to see her doctor. But the reason Tor this
pertinent and somewhat obscure suggest
ION was lost in the hour for ad journment.
Before Mrs. Holly reached the stand
with her budget Of gossip Charles C. Wal
lace and George W. Baker testified that
they had had frequent dealings with
Capron aud they considered him OF sound
mind. Wallace add that Capron had
told him of his ailments and of the m or
phine habit he had acquired ana how
hard 1t was to cure himself of it, and he
told how CaprOn had said ne did not see
much in life for him.
This was after the remarks in the
kitchen.

1t was not very comforting remark
James >. Capron overheard his step

enough of 1t TO repeat it TO Mrs. Martha
n. Holly, who told 1t to Judge Coffey
yesterday when she was called to the
stand.
The stepdaughters, Madge, Hattie and
Mamie, were in the kitchen of their home
on Eddy street when the old man. at
tracted by their voices, attempted to
enter. he paused at the door long enough
TO hear Madge say how everything was
liked; when stepfather was dead they
would have everything they wanted, and
then the girls all clapped their hands.
and Hattie said, in an ecstacy of expecta-
uon: "Oh, don't l wish he was dead

The old man did not like the remark
perhaps 1t was the grammar, or may be
the air OF sincerity i'll which 1t was ut
tered and accepted-but any way he told
Mrs. Holly about 1t, and then he added

MANY MISSING Coins.
Lead Instead of Silver in the
Treasury of the United
States.
Bags of Coins From the San Fran
cisco Mint Have Been Tam
pered With.

A report reached the city yesterday
from the United S ates Treasury at Wash
ington, where the coins in the vaults there
are being counted that in some of the
sacks OF silver dollars sent from the NJ MT
OF San Francisco coins had been abstracted
and shot substituted to make good the lost
weight of the precious metal.
Frank A. Leach, he superintendent OF
the Mint, said yesterday that he could not
understand how the bags of silver dollars
that were sent from the Mint here to the
Treasury IN Washington could have been
tam pered with aud shot su Instituted in
place of the missing coins. He said that
if such thing was done it was after the
bags of dollars left his hands.
The bags are filed at the Mint here n
der the inspection of at least five OF the
officials OF the Mint and then tied and
sealed with LEAD seal that would make
1t i'm BILE for the bags to be opened ana
sealed again In less than a quarter Of an
hour under the most favorable circ UNI
stances. The bags are then stored In the
vaults and no one can reach hem eL cept
under the eyes of men held responsible
for their safety. To abstract the coins
from the sacks several persons would
have 10 be in collusion, and then the
seals could not have been broken without
:here being some mean of detecting /
Superintendent Leach was of the ouinicn
that if any coins were abstracted from the
sacks sent from San Franci-co 1t was done

He Does Not Want the DeIany Substi-
tute for the Morphine Ordinance.
License Collector Bonnet is preparing "a
address the Board of Supervisors on the
subject of the opium and morphine order
recently offered by Supervisor Delany as
a substitute for the one that has been
recon- ended by the License and Order
COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Bonnet is of the opinion that the
substitute wouli not bring as muchrev.
enue to the city as The original, and that
1t would be better 10 let the matter remain
as 1t was. The license on the sale of
opium, morphine and deleterIous drugs
amounts TO considerable sum, and Mr..
Bonnet is anxious TO save it to the CITY.
