Would License Cats

II have looked into the subject enough
to satisfy me-" said Judge Urquhart of
Georgetown, that cats should be IL
censed the same as dogs They are much
more Of nuisance in every way than
dogs, are kept in larger numbers and
much more revenue could be secured
than is received from the dog license
tax. There may be some reason for
keeping dogs, though I am not sure
about 1t, but there are no reasons what
ever for keeping cats. A dog howls now
and then at night time during certain
changes OF the moon, and is to that ex-
tent a destroyer of sleep, and thereby a
nuisance. Cats, however, make ten
times the racket that dogs do and seem
to keep it up, change of the moon or not
AS far as hydrophobia is concerned, cats
cause it as frequently as do dogs, for,
after all, it is rare, though terrible
thing. I do not find that cats have ever
been licensed or tagged the same as
dogs, though cannot understand why
not. can furnish plenty Of law on the
subject, for all the law that is behind the
dog license Is with equal force behind
the proposition to license cats. The peo-
pie of Georgetown seem to run toward
owning and keeping cats. Every house
has one. and some houses have dozen.
The noise that this class Of nuisances
make is more distressing, more pain
producing and more annoying and in
tolerable than any made by any combi-
nation of the other nuisances."-Wash-

AN AGREED JUDGMENT
Unusual Ending of What Appeared
to Be an Important Suit


The suit Of Lizzie M. Stone ct al
against the Redondo Railroad company,
in which plaintiff demanded s25. 900
damages on account Of the killing of her
husband by train owned and operated
by the defendant company. was brought
to sudden termination in department
four yesterday afternoon when practi-
cally by agreement Judgment for
plaintiff in the sum of s3S75O was rem
dered. Mrs. Stone, who also sued as
guardian for Alice l. and A. L. Stone.
her minor children, was represented by
T. E. Gibbon, while the company's in
terests were looked after by Borden &
Carhart. An agreed statement of facts
was presented to the court, and the
statement was made that the defendant
agreed to the judgment in the sum men
toned. That judgment was then rem
dered and each party paid its own costs
and upon the signing Of the Judgment
the case was finally disposed of for the
judgment was satisfied at once.
The basis Of the suit was the accident
al killing Of Geo. M. Stone on Catalina
avenue, Redondo, December II, 1893. The
complaint alleged that while he was
walking along the tracks of the company
train approached him from behind #
a dangerous rate of speed, and without
any lookout being maintained on it, and
struck and killed Stone. Suit was filed
December "A. 1895, and the company filed
demurr@f to the complaint March 9,
1896. but the demurrer was sverruled.
On April "a, 1896, an answer was filed in

FOR THE DEFENDANT
Wolfskill Loses His Suit Against the
Los Angeles Railway

In department four, before Judge Van
Dyke, the entire time of the court yes
terday was consumed in the trial of the
damage suit of Milton Wolfskill against
the Los Angeles Railway company. Late
in the afternoon Judgment was rendered
in favor of the defendant. The case will
not be appealed.
The plaintiff was formerly f1agman
at First and Alameda streets, in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific Railroad
company. He is so years of age, and is
apparently quite infirm, as he cannot
walk without crutches For his cause
of action he averred that on July 30, 1895,
he was standing in the middle of the
street intersection mentioned, with his
flag in his hand to warn passersby not
to cross the tracks as a train was ap-
preaching. Several teams were waiting
for the train to pass, and as it approached
one of the teams, belonging to the defend
ant, became frightened and started to
run. Wolfskill was run over and sus-
tained a fracture of the leg and other
severe injuries, the effects Of which will
be permanent. He claimed that the dri-
yer of the team was careless and negli-
gent and could have avoided the acci-
dent. He demanded $4,000 damages
The plaintiff failed to prove the care
iessness alleged, however, and the court
rendered the finding stated.

CHILDREN GIVEN UP
Pathetic Proceedings in Which Par
ents Surrender offspring

The unusual spectacle of father and
mother parting with their own children
and transferring to another couple all
their legal interest in and control Of
their offspring was presented in depart
ment one yesterday afternoon. Wolfort
Weldon Lyon and Ida May Lyon, his
wife, appeared before Judge Smith and
voluntarily surrendered all legal claim
that they had upon their two children,
Roy, aged about years, and an un-
named baby, to Gilbert T. and Alice NJ.
Smith. The necessary order of court
was soon prepared and the transfer was
made in due form, without any explana-
tion of the action being made. II is un-
derstood, however, that Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith have long been friends of the
Lyon family, and being childless they
determined to adopt two children. They
are able to give the children the best
possible education, while Mr. Lyon is
not sufficiently we'll blessed with this
worlds goods to carry the education as
far as he would wish. 1t was therefore
their love for their children and their
desire to better their condition that led
the parents to place them where they
know they would be properly cared for.
Brief as were the proceedings, there
was about the matter an element of sup
pressed pathos. The children played
around the court room while their pa
rents were affixing their signatures TO
the papers which transferred the little
ones to the keeping of others. There was
nothing unusual in the form of the pa
pers, only the usual obligations of guar
dianship being assumed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith.

room had been robbed of number of ar
ticles of value Soon afterwards he told
Pyle that he had discovered a clew to
the thieves and requested him to accom-
pany him to arrest them. To this the
constable agreed, and the two men went
to Castiac switch. There late on the
night Of April "a, McCamish claims they
were approached by two men whom he
believed to be the thieves. He says Pyle
covered them while he went forward 70
handcuff them, when one of them drew
revolver and fired, shooting Pyle
through the head. The two men then
escaped. That is McCamishs story of
the killing, but the position of Pyle's
body when others reached the place;
the fact that his head was powder
burned; the previous feeling between the
two men and the inability of other Off
GERS to find any trace of the two sup
posed thieves, led to the belief that no
such two men as McCamish mentioned
existed and he was accordingly arrest :
ed. The prosecution will endeavor to
prove that Pyle was killed while he slept
and that McCamish killed him. The trial
is expected to consume nearly or quite
a week.

A JUNK DEALER IN TROUBLE
Arrested for Purchasing Stolen Goods

H. Fickelstein, Second street junk
dealer, yesterday pleaded guilty to a mis-
demeanor charge before Justice Morri-
son. The arrest was made by Officer
Fowler on a warrant. Fickelstein keeps
the place where a great deal of the lead
pipe cut from the sewer connections in
vacant houses by small boys has been
disposed of. The officers were satisfied
that he knew how the lead was obtained
and that he had been urging the boys.
to bring it in to him, offering them few
cents on the pound for it. The warrant
was gotten out some time ago, but Flick
elstein was absent from the city for sew
eral weeks, having probably had an ink
ling to what was going on. When he
came back the officers were still watch
ing for him, however, and he was ar
rested. Justice Morrison will pass SEN
tence upon Fickelstein today.

Descent From Balloon by Bicycle

A parachutist known as professor
Anthony, has accomplished sensational
descent at Luton by dropping from
height of 5000 feet, while "pedalling' a
bicycle. This is' said to be the first in
PRODUCTION of the bicycle into this haz-
ardous kind of exhibition. Signor Bal
leni of the Crystal Palace, took the bal
loon up with the professor" dangling
below the car, and when an elevation of
5000 feet had been reached he gave the
signal to drop. The parachute opened
by an apparatus worked,by "peddalling'
the bicycle and the professor" after

before it opened properly. During that
time he had to pedal" hard The de-
scent was very slow on account of the
parachute being rather too large and the
parachutist was carried by the wind to
some farms near Caddtngton, from which
place she rode back to Luton.-Pall Mall

her attorneys, filed a petition in insol-
vency in the superior court yesterday af-
ternoon, praying that she be adjuGged
an insolvent debtor and therefore ex-
empt from all claims. debts, liabilities,
and demands in accordance with the in
solvent act of 1895. The petitioner is
resident Of Santa Monica, where she
has been interested in the Santa Monica
hotel. The schedule of liabilities and
assets accompanying the petition shows
a total Indebtedness of $S024.13, divided
among some twenty or more creditors.
The scheduled assets consist of house
hold furniture valued at $4,000, which is
mortgaged for nearly that amount in
favor of Robert A. Marsh, and also the
lease Of the hotel property, which is
stated to be worth $3.50.
Later in the day Robert A. Marsh filed
petition in insolvency through the same
attorneys. His liabilities are stated to
be $1162, and ten creditors are mentioned
in the schedule. He is also a resident of
Santa Monica and his failure is supposed
to have been precipitated by that of
Mrs. Trimble. Among the assets there
