MOTHER OF NINE CHILDREN,
But She Lavished Affection on u
Twenty-Year-OId Boy.


In Room 8, Superior Court, yesterday.
Silas Hollingsworth was granted a divorce
from Mary e. Hollingsworth, whose un-
faithfulness to her marriage obligations was
testified to by her own children. The case
presented some unique features. The Hol-
lingsworths live in West Indianapolis. In
1871. in Vermillion county they were mar
ried. Mrs. Holingsworth, it was asserted,
is the mother of nine children. The testi-
mony showed that in June of the present
year the woman formed most violent at
tachment for young man named Sawyer,
who is about twenty years of age. 1t seems
that the woman lavishs her affection on the
youthful lover. and finally went to live in his
family, deserving her husband and children.
Other divorces were granted in the SUI
perior Court as follows: Belle Baldwin from
James Baldwin, Jennie Stevenson from
Charles Stevenson. Martha j. Davis from
Elmer e. Davis Florence Updegraff from
Jacob UpdegrafT. Mary Hinton from Chas.
Hinton, BENJAMIN Order from Nettie Order,
Peter Carpenter from Mary Carpenter, Lille

CHECKS TACTICS
OF HUN T|NGTON,
Langford's Bill Proposes to
Amend the Civil
Code.
Will Give New Railroads a
Chance to Secure Needed
Rights of Way.
Hines Such as the Valley Road May
: Build Curing the Pending of
Condemnation Suits.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 19.-While
the Senate never runs the risk of over-ex-
ertion, its sessions never extending be-
yond an hour and half, it broke the rec
ord for slow racing to-day. Seven bills
were read the second time, and twenty
two new bills were introduced.
Beyond question the most important
measure submitted by Senator. Langford
to-day was a bill amending sections 1854
and 1857 of the Code of Civil Procedure,
relative to condemnation of private.prop-
erty for public use, or the right of eminent
domain, as it is termed legally.
This measure is in the interest of the
Sierra Pacific Railway. and is aimed at the
Southern Pacific Company's efforts to
place obstructlons in the way of the build
ing of this road from Stockton into the
heart of the mother lode, about fifty miles
from that city. It will not only tend to
defeat the Vaccinations of the Southern
Pacific Company agains. this particular
road, but will also doubtless greatly aid
the Valley roads efforts to secure rights
of way, and Will be protective measure
for all future similar enterprises.
Senator Langford introduced the bill on
the request of the attorneys interested
with the Sierra Pacific Railway Company,
In letter to the Senator explaining the
scope and object of the proposed amend
ments occurs the following:
'If we can pass this act the Southern
Pacific Company will be unable 10 cut us
off hereafter in our rights of way. for the
sections, as amended, provide for the tax
ing of possession of the land before the
final judgment in the condemnation suit.
l am satisfied that there is no
constitutional objection to the amend
ments as sent, and in the interest OF Cali
fornia it should be passed. \ Had
the amendments which we now propose
been the law at. the time we commenced
operations with the Sierra Pacific Railway
Company we would not have been COM
PEELED to change our base of operations.
Following is the full text of the pro-
posed amend dments:
SECTION 1854. At any time after the filing OF
the complaint, and the issuance and service of
the summons thereon, the court may, upon
notice to the defendant by the said court by
an order in that behalf made, authorize the
plaintiff, If already in possession and use, to
continue in the possession and use, and If not
in possession, to take possession Of and use the
land and premises sought to be condemned
during the pendency and until the final con-
clusion of the proceeding brought to condemn
the same, and may stay all actions and pro-
ceedings against such plaintiff on account
thereof; provided, however, thatin aud by said
order said plaintiff shall be ordered to pay
and thereafter and before the taking OF such
possession or of the further continuance
in possession of any such land and
premises, pay sufi cient sum of money

MANY IN DANGER
or DEGAPIT
Democrats and Republicans
Join in Crying for
Retrenchment.
So the AK of Economy Will
First Descend on the Code
Commissioners.
Then the Wav of Reform May Strike
the Friends and Appo.ntees of
Governor Budd.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 19.-After
session of half day both houses ad-
|. journed until tomorrow morning in or
der to allow the committees an oppor-
tupity of meeting and consi ering the va
rious bills now before them. Bills are
coming in very slowly from the printer,
and the reason given is that the State
Office is short of funds. State Printer
Johnson, has asked for $75 900 appropria-
ton, but the Legislators thought that tie
demand was too high. The matter was
taken up in the Assembly to-day, and it
was decided to allow an appropriation of
$4,000. The State Printer says that this
sum is inadequate, and be ought to know.
The Senate will have to concur in the ap-
preparation or will reduce or raise it. In
the meantim committees are clamoring
for more bills. but the stream of printed
paper from the big white building is very
sluggish and very shallow.
| Democrats and Republicans alike are
crying aloud for retrenchment, and 1t has
been agreed that the first movement of
that direction will be toward the abolition
of the Code Commission by refusing to al
low any appropriation for its aintenance.
1t is expected that such action on the
art of the Legislature will speedily place
the commission in that delightful state
of careless repose known to Hirdoo mys-
tics as Nirvana. Democrats will regret
that the ak of economv and reform will
first fall on the necks OF three personal
friends and sppointees of Governor Budd,
and sym pathetic but equally economical
Republicans will mingle their tears with
those OF their free trade brethren.
Private Secretary McCabe, who en- Joys a
| salary of $4,000 per annum, is a shining
mark for the ak, and it is understood that
bill will be introduced to cut his salary
down to $500. There are a whole lot of
other appointees of the Governor in vari-
Gus State institutions now trembling in
their shoes and spending their pin money
in tele,rams to friends in both houses to
look out for their interests and not allow
this wild cry for retrenchment to make
them deaf, dumb and blind to the fact
that reduction of salaries would tend to
impair the efficiency of those institutions.
The reformers seem to be earnest in this
matter, and the Republicans are as usual
in the front, so that the battle of retrench-
nent will be on by next week, and a fierce
battle 1t will be indeed.
Many Legislators. perhaps a majority,
are terrified at the bulk of the report of
Code Commissioner. 1t is said to con-
tain about 900 amendments TO codes,
which speaks well for tie industry of the
Commissioners and of Judge DAILY in par
ticular, who, if reports be true, has done

Guy moved, according to the directions
of the Republican caucus last night, to

Guy said $75, 600 would be needed, but he
thought it wiser to appropriate only q

A mass meeting presided over by Mayor
PheIan was held shortly after l o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the assembly-room
OF the Merchants Exchange for the pur-
pose of voicing general request to Con-
gress to further the passage of the Mica
ragua canal bill.
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the San Francisco Chamber Of
Commerce, and was attended by repre-
sentatives of all the important CONNER
cial bodies of the City and by many repre-
sentative business men.
A number of speeches were made adj
vising the completion of an American
canal between oceans as one of the most
advantageous Govern ment works for the
DEVELOPMENT of the whole Pacific Coast.
1t was a quiet, dign.fieo assemblage Of
thoughtful business men. There were
several hundreds of them all standing
closely together upon the open floor. The
chairman of the meeting and the secre-
tary stood upon an elevated counter, and
from that position addressed the meeting,
which was short and business-like, but
spirited.
President Hugh Craig of the Chamber
of Commerce made the opening address.
ssThe canal, he said, ''will be worth to
the citizens of San francisco and to the
people OF the Pacific Coast millions and
millions of dollars. l have telegram
from Sacramento saying that the Assem-
bly, has just passed the resolutions offered
by our own Senator in regard to the
canal"
Mayor James D. Phelan said: "The
only opposition to the canal would come
from the transcontinental railroads,
which are not of great interest to us.

citizens or the merchants of San Francisco
