THE CHICAGOANS.
They Crossed the Great Plains In
Handsome STYLE.

There are 5000 or more of the Chi
cago Endeavorers en- route. The first
of these, some 600 in number left the
Windy City last Tuesday evening. The
special trains carrying these delegates
are resplendent with decorations. Above
the headlights of the engines are
shields inscribed Chicago Christian
Endeavorers, and big ban
ners with the same inscription are fas-
tened upon each side Of each car in the
train.
On the trains services of prayer and
song were held morning, afternoon and
evening. In fact there was a veritable
convention all along the route, with
free discussion of the topics which are
to come up in the big meetings later on.
Furthermore, the Chicagoans invent
ed a well-regulated Christian Endeavop
yell, with which they made the hills
and valleys ring upon the slightest pre-
text. 1t is
Who, who, who are we?
We are the Y. P. S. c. E.
Wah-he, Wah-he, wah-he, woy;
We are from Chicago, Illinois.
The following code governed the un-
fortunate travellers during the trip:
l. Everybody shall do everything
possible to make everybody else happy.
,. The lights will be lowered at 10
o'clock every night, and then all talk
ing and singing must cease.
3. The pastor will awaken the men,
bers Of the party, if possible, at day
break; (a) any one in the habit of talk
ing while asleep must ride on the roof;
Ob) any one in the habit of perambu-
lating about with a candle will be put
under guard.
4. Any one who snores must pay ex-
ira for the privilege.
D. The person who starts a song un-
known to the rest of the party must
sing it through as a solo.

The record-union., 1897-07-06

The Record Union" to-day unites
with all Californians in welcoming to
the State the delegates to the Christian
Endeavor worlds convention. There is
no mere formality in the greeting ex-
tended by this people to our friends from
the far East. It is as sincere and heart
full a welcome as ever yet was given. It
springs from an honest desire to have
our State better known, from sincere
pleasure taken by Californians when
acting as hosts, and it flows from admir-
alton and respect for this body of men
and women who are working, in their
own way, for the betterment of the race,
and the maintenance of high moral and
religious standards.
In our editorial columns this morning
the States welcome to the guests al
ready arrived, and to-day arriving, is
sketched and following it is a rapid, fair
and uncolored account of the Capital
City, its characteristics, trade, geo.
graphical position, etc, together with
some account Of the production, and eli
matology of this section. In this number
also, the Record Union presents some
valuable and authentic papers upon Cal
ifornia, its products, commerce and at
fractions. These, it is hoped, may prove
of more than passing Importance, and
make the Record Union" of this morn
ing more than usually a desirable issue
to preserve or to forward to friends in
the East
II is regretted very deeply by our peo-
pie that the Endeavorers cannot make a
considerable visit to the Capital City, but
in this case, as in many another, the
will of the host must be taken for the
deed. Such of the delegates, however,
as do pay the city a visit before they
make ready to return East, will find our
people prepared to receive them with
open hands and hearts Some evidence
of desire and sincerity in this respect
has been made manifest at the depot,
but it viii be found in fullness if our
visitors will but come and abide with
us day or two, or longer.

THE WAGNER INSOLVENCY
Pleading His Discharge No Protection
in Case of Fraud

In the case Of Wunich ct al. against
Wagner, involving a sum of $13, no. so,
Judge Clark yesterday rendered an opin-
ion, in which he passes upon an objec-
tion. raised by the defendant.
The defendant pleaded discharge un-
der the insolvent act of 1880, and put in
his certificate Of discharge. 1t was stip-
ulated that defendant was indebted to
plaintiffs on September 2S, 1892, for
goods to the amount of $13,770.50; that
on that day defendant filed his petition
in voluntary insolvency. and was ad-
judged insolvent; that plaintiffs filed
against the estate of the defendant,
which claim was allowed, and two divi-
der,ds, aggregating $2409S3, were paid
and received on account; that on March
6, 1898, an order of discharge was mace
under the provisions Of the insolvent act
GAS I understand the briefs Of coun-
sel," says the court, "the plaintiff now
offers evidence for the purpose of show
ing that the debt in question was Gre
ated by fraud of the defendant. The
defendant objects to the offer, and urges
the discharge is complete defense. De-
fendant's counsel contend that to admit
the testimony in question would be to
permit collateral attack upon the
judgment or order Of the court dis
The herald., 1897-10-12
charging the defendant as an insolvent,

charging the defendant as an insolvent
which, 1t is claimed. cannot be done.
Section 81 of the insolvent act of 1850
provides (and the same provisions are
found In Section SIS of the act Of 1880
that: No debt created by fraud or en-
bezzlement Of the debtor or by his de-
falcation as a public officer, or while
acting in flduciary capacity, shall be
discharged under this act, but the debt
may be proved, aCad the dividend thereon
shall be a payment on account of
said debt, and no discharge granted un-
der this act shall release, discharge or
affect any person liable for the same
debt for or with the debtor either as
partner, joint contractor, indorser, sure
ty or otherwise. 1t would seem appar-
ent, therefore, that if the purpose of the
offer is TO prove, and the testimony does,
in fact, prove that the debt was con-
ceived isl fraud, it is admissible, not as
an attack upon, or attempt to set aside,
the order of discharge, but as showing
that the debt is one not affected thereby
And If the purpose Is to prove, and the
evidence does, in fact, tend. to prove, that
the dichargre was fraudulertly obtained,
and that the fact constituting the fraud
was discovered subsequent to the dis
charge, the same discharge ruling shoulc
be made" The objection of defendant t
is overruled and an exception noted.

THE PHELAN FAILURE
That Temporarily Stopped the Tunnel
Work at San Bernardino

q. F. Phelan was the contractor who
undertook to do the tunneling work on
the big water power development plant
of the Southern California Power COM
pany, at San Bernardino. He became
insolvent and yesterday his creditors
met in Department five to select an as
signee.
And they had a gay old time doing it.
One party Of creditors wanted, Gregory
Perkins, jr., appointed and the remain
der wanted j. Holcomb. The attorneys
representing the several parties inter-
ested lined up and talked themselves
hoarse, while they quoted figures enough
to make ones head swim. Finally Judge
Shaw called halt and plainly intimated
he did not intend sitting on the bench
for a month while the contending fac
tions had monkey and parrot time over
the appointment OF an assignee. The

AS THE CASE STANDS

Very naturally Mayne H. pleased at
the chance Of making his innocence ap-
pear. In the early stages Of the case his
pertinacious and continuous reiteration
Of his innocence was accepted as the
brazenness Of guilt; but that time has
long gone by. And during his incarcera-
tion in the county Jail an altogether rev
mass of evidence has been accumulat-
ing tending rather to corroborate his
contention that there existed hidden
depths to the case that have not yet been
plumbed. AS an attache of the supreme
court yesterday said: 'It will probably
never be known what powerful irdiu-
ences were brought to bear in San
Francisco in the attempt to secure the
final conviction of Mayne." What in
terests are to be subservedI by having
Mayne barred in at San Quentin is a
moot point, but the many and varied
facts in the case would seem at least to
indicate that other and ulterior ends
were sought to be obtained by some per-
son or persons using the machinery of
law and justice.

THE DIVORCE MILL
A Local Marriage That Has Ended
in Disaster

A decree divorcing Narcisse Guiol
from Adolph F. Guiol was granted by
Judge York yesterday on the. default Of
defendant and on the ground of failure
to provide. The couple were married in
this city in 1884, Mrs. Guiol being a
daughter of Jean Sentous the old-time
wealthy resident. At the time the young
wife had property yielding a small in
come of about $S5 per month, but the
husband. in profligacy and dissipation,
soon made 1t disappear. Now the end
has come and, while the wife has been
permitted to resume her maiden name
of Narcisse Sentous, to her has. been con-
fided the. custody of Juanita Guiol, the
9-year-oldl daughter.
Judge York also granted decree to
Alice Beard Hess, divorcing her from
Benjamin L. Hess on the ground of in
temperance and failure to provide The
parties married at Lancaster, Penn, in
1877, and have been residing in Los An
geles for nine years. The husband was
in the employ of the Los Angeles Furni-
ture company at "a salary of s125, and
was given an excellent character as a
salesman But he toAn to heavy drink
ing and was discharged. Then he ILL
treated and neglected his wife and now
he has lost her altogether.
In the suit of Violet D. Robinsor
against William H. Robinson, Judge
Clark yesterday continued the case for
further hearing. The couple intermar-
ried in Los Angeles in September, 1888
and in September, 1895, the husband de-
serted his home.
A decree was granted by Judge Clark,
divorcing Joseph Chester from his wife,
M. R. Chester on the ground Of deser-
tion
The suit of Rachel M. S. Gardiner
against Francis I. Gardiner was heard
by Judge Allen in department six. The
plaintiff married one of the veterans al
the Soldiers home, and at his request
came to Los Angeles and started a
boarding house. The husband not only
failed to assist in supporting his wife,
but altogether abandoned her. In grant
ing the decree Judge Allen held that the
desertion had not been proved, for the
reason that the wife had not, confessed
ly, gone back to Santa Monica and
sought to resume marital relations with
her husband. On the other point, how
ever, the divorce was granted, and the
wife allowed to resume her maidenname
of Rachel M. Sherer. Mrs L. ]. H. Hast
ings, wife Of Or" Hastings of electric
fame, was witness in the case.

BLEED BY SWISS OFFICIALS.
Te!irrtOn and Holmes. the American

TollcrtOm and Holmes, the American
Tourists. Had Peculiar Adventures.
CHICAGO, September 3O.-A special to
the Inter-Ocean from Toledo, Ohio, says:
Harry Tollerten and Prof. Holmes. whose
mysterious adventures in Switzerland have
attracted international attention, have been
located. They are alive and well at Lu-
zerne and expect to leave for Berlin to-
morrow.
The mystery of their eleven days deten-
ton at Luzerne and cablegrams for large
sums OF money is still unsolved, and the
family will not say just what happened.
Friends of the family in Europe have learn
ed details which will never be made public.
1t is said to have been very singular
comedy of errors. but it has been very
expensive one for Lawyer Tollerton. There
is now no denial that they sent for the
money Immediately after having acknowl-
edged remittances in excess of what they
really needed for legitimate expenses.
Mrs Tolerton, who has been in WASH
ington appealing TO the State Department,
is expected home in the morning, and she
bears number of cipher dispatches. The
American consular agent was mixed i'll his
cables which confused matters still more.
An opinion prevails that the young men
had difficulty with the Swiss officials. and
were badly bled under pretenses Of fines.
