How Edward Boyd Alishted From a Car
Bumper.
Was Saved by Two Yolo Men, and
is Drying Out at the
Hospital.

Edward Boyd, ex-soldier, ex-salor,
originally from Pennsylvania, and now
at the Receiving Hospital in this city,
had the closest call for his life last
night that he ever experienced, and
not only lives but tells all about it.
Boyd, so he claims, has been en-
ployed picking fruit at Suisun, but yes
terday morning he tired of the job and
determined to try his luck in the mines
around Grass Valley. He started to do
the trip a-foot, but his shoes were new
and his feet were out of condition, and
after counting railroad ties for a long
halliday he took advantage OF freight
car bumper which had no occupant,
and concluded to ride into Sacramento.
Things went we'll with Boyd, who is
strong, hearty, good-looking young
fellow, until the train pulled into Wash
ington, Yolo County. At that point he
concluded he had reached Sacramento,
and decided to leave his somewhat I'M
comfortable quarters before arriving at
the depot.
The freight train rumbled in over
the bridge which spans the river, and
when the car on which Boyd was rid
ing reached the middle span, he swung
out easily and let go all holds.
According to his own statement, he
knew it was all off as soon as his
back struck a tie and he commenced to
turn over His head connected with
another timber, and he knew the river
was waiting for him. He struck the
water head-first, and was a long time
getting back to the surface.

series of yells which startled the
bridge Waterman and woke the inhab-
itants of Washington.
Among the Yolo County people who
were attracted by the cries of the luck
less freight-car passenger were King H.
Lee and Ike Davenport, and as soon as
possible they loosed a boat and rowed

came the screams
In the meantime Boyd had worn him.
self out and gave up hope. He sank,
once, twice, and as he was coming up
he felt his fingers scrape the bottom of
the boat pulled by Lee and Davenport.
He remembered nothing more until he
had been hauled into the boat and the
water barreled out of his lungs
The two men in the boat caught Boyd
as he was going down the third time,
and that is why he is now at the Re-
ceiving Hospital instead of at the bot
tom of the Sacramento River
Boyd is an intelligent young fellow,
and claims to have been a sailor all of
his life, excepting three years, when he
wore the blue clothes furnished to I'm
Gle Sans army.

SPARK OF HUMANITY
Shown by Weyler in Reference to Col lections by Mortgage
 a, Holders.

Washington. May 5.=The state de- partment today has received full trans lation of the decree of Captain-General Weyler at Santa Clara, of April 25 last, relative to the collection of mortgage in- debtedness in Cuba.
 A year ago the Spanish government found it necessary to suspend the right of creditors to foreclose mortgages in Cuba to prevent utter ruin of the people who had already suffered ESQ imuelf1 from the war The purpose of the last de- cree Is to modify the former orders so as to preserve the right of creditors as much 2s possible without being unduly severe to debtors. The decree gives nc- tee that interest on mortgages now due or about to become due will not be payable until March 31 of next year, and all proceedings relative to the collection Of such debts will be suspended for the same. At the same date the mortgage holders may proceed to claim their debts, but this property may rot be sold at public auction for the purpose of collec- tion. In Pinar del Rio, Habana, Matan- gas and Santa Clara provinces the credit ors, in cases where the tenant has not suffered the loss of crops or home. may proceed to collect 50 per cent of the ln- debtedress by levylng on the products of the property. It is provided that the creditors may draw the usual legal inter- est on the payments on account of nort- gagss extended by the decree until next May

Marion, Ala, May 4.-(Special corre- all over the state will be proud to know that the heavy bonded indebtedness of the Judson institute, incurred about years ago ip rebuilding after the fire. was paid off today and the bonds can celled, leaving the institute entirely free from debt. This was accomplished by the liberal reduction of the debt by the hold CT of the bonds MT. B. B. Conner, of Bir- mngham; by the generous gift of SS,000 by Hon. J. c. Bush, of Mobile, and by other large and small gifts from various other sources, among them S1,000 from Captain B. F. Ellis, of Orrville, and $500 each from Colonel T. G. Bush, Mir W. T. Smith and MT. Flower. And more than to any one else is the credit due to the accomplished president of the Judsor. pr. Robert T. Patrick, who with untiring zeal and energy managed the affair from the beginning to the end. The future of the JudSon ia even more hopeful than its past has bsen glorious.
 The wife of MT. West Nichols, who lives several miles north of Marion, died several days ago after long illness.
 The crop prospect is not in the least badly and many farmers have had to plant over or replant large areas.

THE srrpREME COURT.


 Channcey Depew Contributes an Inter- esting article to the literature of the day on the supreme court. He says the supreme court is something unique in government-no government of the old world has such an institution as su- preme Judicial tribunal that can set aside a law enacted by the law-making branch and approved by the chief ex- ecuttve. In England parliament is su- preme; On the continent the executive and the legislative body, and in Russia the czar. Tho franers of the censti- tution obtained many of their ideas from England and Holland, but the idea of supreme court was original with them. Their wisdom has been justified by sub sequent events. .T The supreme court has often sfiayed party passion, and MT. Depew NArts that 1t saved the country from another civil war in the Tilden- Hayes contest Mr. Depew pays very high compliment to John Marshall, say ing that he was the creator of the United States of today. This is a. graceful trib- ute from Mir. Depews to a. southern man, for Marshall was a yirginlan. The south feels particularly proud of the supreme court for during sixty-two years of it's history the chief justice was southern man. The court has also won the ap- probatio of the south by sustaining the doctrine of states rights.
 On the other hand we cannot but ad- init that there are dangers surrounding the exerqtse of such power as that vest ed in the. supreme court. Jefferson fore saw the danger, and was afraid that the American people had escaped the rule of a king only to fall under the do- minion Of Q judicial tribunal. Here is tendency to. centralized power in the operation of the supreme court In sev- eral notable Instances the people have robelled against the decisions of the su- preme court, and it was only their ven- eration for law chat caused them to sub init. Suspicion was cast upon the court in the Tifden-Hayes contest, in the in- come tax law and in the legal tender 0af

Of this $75O,000 was in stock and S1,500, 900 in per cent. bonds. The company owned forty eight miles of track, three -fourths of which were laid on a country read. The equipment comprised a modes. sized pow CT house and thirty cars. The total earn dngs were not enough to pay the interest on the bonds, let alone paying operating eXpersss S, IS wages, fuel and other sup plies.

THE MARRIAGE TIE.

The courts, as a rule, pay great atten- ton to precedent, but once in a while case comes up that must be decided without recourse to precedent. This is because there is no precedent to guide. One of these cases has just been de- cided in St, Paul. A woman was so badly injured in a street car accident that she died. within a few weeks. Her husband brought suit against the rail- way company, ard as the pair were childless he brought the suit in his own name as -t.next of kin" Now the next of kin. plea is good in law providing there is blood relationship. In this in- stance, however, the attorney for the railway company asked for dismissal of the case on the ground that a hus- band was not next of kin. even when the marriage was without issue. The contention was that marriage did not set up a relationship within the meaning of legal comprehension of the next of kin" plea, and the court held the objec- ton good and dismissed the case.
 The Century Dictionary defines kin as near connection or alliance" and if marriage is not a connection, civiliza- tion has been mistaken in it's definition of that word. The kinship of husband ard wife should be closer than any others, and the St. Paul court has made 1t wider apart than even our lax divorce laws. It is to be hoped that the higher courts will take more advanced idea of the marriage tie.
