PREPARING FOR WAR.
England Will Lay Her Own Gable to
the w est Indies.

New York, Nov. "a special cable dis
patch from London to the Evening Post
says:
Today's issue of shares and debentures
by the Direct West Indian Cable com
pany Qimited) marks the beginning of the
end of England's dependence on the Unit
ed States for cable connection with the
West Indies. But for President Cleve-
lands Venezuelan war message England
would probably have been quite content
to continue to depend upon the United
States lines, via Florida and Cuba, but
directly the officials here realized the pos
sibility of war with the United States
and the consequent isolation of the West
Indian colonies, they set about the nego-
tiatiOns, which after long hard fight re-
suited in an imperial subsidy of $4,000
yearly for twenty years to the British
Canadian capitalists who own the Hall
fax-Bermuda cable for its extension from
to other leading West Indian islands and
South America.
The cable will be completed by the 1st
of February. AS showing the spirit of
the new enterprise it may be said that
of today's issue of $780, 900 in shares and
100000 in Az per cent debentures, more
than two-thfrds were subscribed privately
before the issue was offered to the pub
lie.
A similar imperial undertaking, the Pa
cifc cable project is still a subject of
departmental inquiry. The Canadian pro-
posal for a cable to Australia from Van
couver has now been supplemented by a
rival project to connect Australia with
England via Cape Colony, without touch
ing foreign territory.

CATCHES RUNAWAYS.
Unique Profession of Carriage Max
er of San Jose.

San Jose, Nov. 5.-Perhaps the most
novel profession followed by any one is
that of ''runaway-c catcher" recently
conceived by James D. Moffatt, a car
riage maker of this city. In the last
five years Moffatt has made a practice
of starting after each runaway, and in
his time he has captured nearly a thou
sand dereHcts. They have proved a
pecuniary assistance to his business,
for in most cases he has secured the re-
pairing of the vehicles or a money con-
sideration. His success has been such
financially that he has decided to
launch the profession of runaway
catcher upon the world, and has in
serted an ''ad' in the local papers.
MOffatt announces to the public that
he is at the Pacific iron works night and
day and ready at all times. to catch
runaway teams. He has two telephones
in his place and solicits patronage at
night as we'll as day. If given the work
of repairing the rig he demands no pay
for stopping the runaway, otherwise his
charges are from 81 to IS. In case of a
breakdown at any place on the road

u. A. DONNELL,
The Terms of the Law Must Be Abso-
lutely Followed in Lien Cases

The supreme court has reversed the
order and judgment of the court in the
case of the Santa Monica Lumber and
Mill company, respondent, against j. H..
Hege ct al, appellants, an action to
forcclose a mechanics lien.
The right to foreclose a mechanics
lien depends upon a compliance with
the requirements of the statute. The
provision that the claim must contain
the statements in full and must be cor
rect and in accordance with the facts,
the court holds, is absolutely necessary.
If they are not correctly stated, the
right to lien is lost. In this respect
the notice was defective. and it is held
that the court was not authorized to
enforce a lien against the appellants.
In the suit OF Whipple, respondent, VS..
Hopkins ct al, appellants, being an
action to quiet the title taken on appeal
from the superior court Of San Diego
county, the supreme court has dis
missed the appeal from the order re-
fusing to settle the bill Of exceptions,
and the judgment and order are af-
firlned.
The judgment of the superior court
Iof San Luis Obispo county in the case
Of William Goldtree ct al, appellants,
against James Allison ct al, respond
ents, has been affirmed by the supreme
court. The action was one to recover

JUDGMENT TOO LATE
A Claim for Alimony Against an Es-
tate Knocked Out

A rather odd case was decided by
Judge York yesterday in the case of
Marie Daggett against William White,
executor.
The plaintiff, as Marie Oppenheimer,
recovered a judgment against Harry
Oppenheimer on March q, 1895 for
divorce, for $50 counsel fees, s21 10 costs
and 500 alimony, payable on the first of
each month thereafter. Harry Open
heimer died on March 8, 1897, leaving a
will, which was admitted to probate,
and of which the defendant in the pres
ent action was appointed executor.
On Sept 25th the plaintiff presented
claim against the estate of Harry OPP
penheimer, deceased, based upon her
judgment, including $110.10 due upon it,
The claim was rejected and so the pres
ent suit was brought.
Judge York in his opinion says: 1.-THE
copy of judgment is evidentiary. 1t
establishes the fact Of the terms and
conditions of the judgment sued upon.
The judgment was rendered after the
death of the defendants testator. There
Is nothing in that Judgment to indicate
that it is the entry Of a judgment pre-
viously announced or that it is nunc-
pro-tunc. For aught that appears the
determination Of the cause had not been
made in the mind of the court until the
date of the judgment" For these and
other reasons the defendants demurrer

UNPLEASANT FOR SOME
Judgments for Money Never Lapse,
and May Be Recovered Any Time

Judgment debtors have heretofore re-
ioiced in the thought that after five
years the matter lapsed and that they
were safe from execution, but hence
forth this consolatory thought will have
to be abandoned.
In April. 1891, George w. Schwarting
obtained a judgment against James c.
Dunn and f. w. Smell. No execution was
ever issued upon the judgment, nor was
the same satisfied. Judge York. in rul-
ing upon the matter, holds that section
eS5 of the Code of Civil Procedure seems
to have been made, among other things,
for the purpose Of making that section
apply to judgments for the recovery OF
money, as well as other judgments, be-
cause that provision in the original sec
ton is eliminated from the section as
amended later. "At the time Of the
amendment" says the court, "the
Judgment was in full force and not
barred by the statute OF limitations. 1t
was clearly the purpose of the legisla-
ture that the amendment should apply
to judgments obtained for the recovery
of money when such judgments were
not barred by the statute Of limitations.
1t, therefore. follows that notwithstand-
ing the fact that an action cannot be
prosecuted upon said judgment in case
the statute of limitations should be in
terposed nevertheless the court can re-
vive the original Judgment and author
ize an execution for it's enforcement to
be issued.
Under this holding Of the court there
is no loophole Of escape for the debtor
for an outlawed judgment can be re-
vived at the most remote time and ex
eeution ordered. Heretofore it has been
generally regarded that after five years
judgment lapsed the section of the
code referred to having been overlooked.
