part OF last March, ana two days there
after the conductor was rewarded with
written notice that his services were no
longer needed by the company.
No explanation was given, nor was
there any reason assigned for his dis
cnarge. He mad been in the company 8
service eight years, and never was once
reprimanded by the officers for any cause
whatsoever. Consequently he surmised
that his discharge was brought about be-
cause he requested the company TO COM
pensate him for the injuries inflicted on
his little girl.
He at once consulted w. A. s. Nichol-
son, his attorney, who lost no time in

for damages TO The child.

MRS. KNOX SURPRISED.

She Sought a Divorce and Alimony,
but the Facts Were Against Her
Mrs. Mary A. Knox met with severe
disappointment IN Judge Hebbard's court
yesterday. She pressed for a hearing oi
her suit for divorce from William Knox
on the ground of desertion, and also in
sisted that he should pay her $500 aim ony
that she figured out was due her.
In response Knox. who is an engineer
on one of the steamers plying between
this port and Hongkong, charged that his
wife had been unfaithful, and named
John +. Madden as Correspondent.
Mrs. Knox resented this aspersion on
her character. she and Madden acknoWl-
edged that they lived in the same house
together for four N months, but they in
listed that their relations were entirely
innocent. They had only three rooms,
tao bedrooms and kitchen. She kept
house Tor him, and he bought wearing ap-
parel for her.
A different view of their relations was
given by the testimony OF Police Officer
Henry A. Madden, a brother OF tie CO.
respondent.
In com menting on The case Judge Heb
bard SAID 1t was contrary to human expe-
rience to believe that the relations be-
II cen Mrs. Knox and Madden had been
platonic. The law does not requIe actual
proof of improper acts. In such matters
opportunity and probability are sufficient
to establish the fact, 80 on the testimony
Of the plaintiff and her mpanion, she
must stand convicted of being unfaithful
TO her marriage vows.
Knox was therefore given a divorce
OH his cross-com plant, and was relieved
from all reSpo1si bilites for the payment
OF alimony and lawyers fees.

Arthur w. Cecil, a stenographer in
Attorney Grove L. Johnson's office, while
temporariv insane from overwork, fired
two shots from rifle at his father early
yesterday morning, and a shot at his
nurse, fortunately without effect.
Monday night when he went to his
home at 10 Belyedere street, he was
nervous ana irritable, and his parents
urged him to take a vacation, but he re-
fused. He got worse and Tuesday night
a male nurse was employed to look after
him. He resented the espionage of the
nurse, and would not remain in his room.
About O'Clock yesterday morning he
stealthily took a 38-caliber Marlin repeat
ing rife from closet, and threatened

Impressive Ceremonies Over
the Remains of the Late
DR.. Robinson.
The Body Inferred in the Fam
lily Plat at Laurel Hill
Cemetery.
Father Woods Pays Many Touching
Tributes to the Memory of
the Deceased.

With the sweet. sad strains of Beetho-
ven's funeral march resounding through
the building the body of the late DR.. Luke
Robinson was borne into St. 1gnatlus
Church yesterday morning. The edltlce
was thronged with people who had come to
pay the last respects to one VINO was uni
versally loved and honored by all who
came IN contact with him.
The many who had known him inti-
mately for years as an honest, upright
man, and those who had reaped the bene-
TITS OF his generous charity, knelt side by
side with saddened hearts and fearful
eyes.
AS the cortege entered the church it was
met at the door by the venerable Father
Barcni and two acolytes, who preceded
the casket 10 the black draped altar. where
with the mellow glow OF many candles
! Joining the softened rays streaming
through the stained glass OF the chancel
the BODY was rested while a solemn
requiem high mass was chanted over it
the last hating place in the journey from
the cradle to the tomb. Then to the
sounds of Chopin's dirge it was carried
away 10 Laurel Hill Cemetery and given
back to Mother Earth.
The mass was celebra ted by Father
/ Varsi, assisted by Father Ramm deacon,
Father Hickey sub-deac"n, Frank Haines
master OF ceremonies. The sanctuary was
occupied by Fathers Freidan and Calgia
with twenty acoiytes.
The choir. under he direction of Father
Coltelli, rendered selections from the
ROssi, Mozart and Lutz masses. Rhys
Thomas sang the offertory solo. Father
Woods delivered the sermon. He said in
part:

throughout the State, and a large attend
ance is expected.
Tie most important business to come
before the association will be the discus
sion and form ulation of bill for passage
in the next State Legislature by which a
uniform system of State inspection may
be esta blished.
This bill will be in many respects similar
10 the one passed last year, but which was
vetoed by the Governor.
The bill was formulated by the associa-
tion with a view % protecting the owners
of dairy COWS from the arbitrary work OF
county Boards of Health and at the same
time esta blishing a uniform system of
eradicating bad conditions of dairit and
products within the State. A feature of
the proposed act was that of payment for
destroyed animals at low valuation and

A CONDUCTORS TRIALS.
DISCHARGED Because He Asked
for Compensation for
His Child.
The Case Now in Court, Where a Jury
Will Pass on the COmpany's
Methods.

F. z. Howe, who has been a conductor
on the Valencia-street cable line for eight
year,, has had his experience OF how a
corporation deals with an employe who
seeks redress for injuries.
In the case of Howe, who is a married
man, and the father of a little girl four
years OF age, the little girl was the inno-
cent cause OF bringing him into closer con-
nectlon with the company than that of
being mere servant OF the corporation.
The conductors little daughter Agnes
was run over by one of the cars on the
line OF which her father was a conductor
year ago last June and. so severe were
her i'll iuries that her life hung in the bal
ance for several months and she will be a
cripple for The balance of her life, as one
OF her legs has been seriously in jEred.
The father uf Httle Agnes waited long
and patiently for the Market-street Rail-
road corporation TO recompense him and
his wife for their trouble and expense in
nursing their child for six months after
she was hurt. But the company fai ed to
see it in that light, ana when patience
ceased to be q virtue Howe made known
! his desire for settlement through Diyi-
sion Superintendent A. w. Barron, who
has charge OF what il known as Division
A which elm bodies all the cable cars run

were willing to take a fair price for
their holdings.
The syndicate could bond the fand for,
say, year, agreeing TO take the property
on the conditions set forth. This would
give the Supervisors an idea of how much
money would be required - be raised on a
pond Issue, and with this Information be-
lore them an election could be called for
mat purpose, setting forth how much
would be needed and for what purpose.
In the mean ime, under an amendment
10 the State constitution adopted in 1892,
1t requires a two-third vote of the people
to authorize the issuance OF such bonds.
With this system, then, the money
would be forthcoming at the proper time
and would also be available 10 meet the
legal point in case a condemnation suit
would have to be brought to oust any OF
the property owners who should refuse to
sell at a fair valuation.
Judge Mcguire, who was present while
Mr. Leggett was giving his views, coin
clded in this method of acquiring the
much-coveted frontage OF the City Hall.
ID. \. Clement who has given the So b.
1ect C Considerable thought by reason OF
his having drafted the law for the de-
teated charter, as also for the one now in
course OF preparation, expressed himself
as oelng In harmony with a portion of
Mr.. Leggetts views, but with a change
from seli-cons stituted syndicate to one
appointed Dy Inc supervisors Instead, as
1t would, II for no other reason, assume
that of legal or authorized character.
SO far as condemuatory proceedings
go Mr.. Clement is very dubious until the
value OF the land is first asceriained. So
doubtful is he OF this that IN the proposed
new charter an estimate of what is in
tended to be used as public utilities"
must be first ascertsined by com mission
appointed for that purpose. When this is
done the bond issue question is easily
solved If the peo pie wish TO vote for the
obj CT Tor which the money is TO be raised
by the issue.
Horace G. Platt, who successfully car
rled several condemnation suits through
courts for street purpo .es, coincded with
his brother lawyers. He Is positive. how
ever, that the money must be paid within
thirty days afIer the final Judgment, and
IN this brief period bonds could not be
sold. Consequently an estimate of the
expense attending the purchase must be
had as one OF the initiative steps before
anything is done.
AS to conde ming the ground he thought
that would be the least difficult To him
the bond issue would be the most difficult
problem TO be encountered.

The complicated conditions by
wa ch mis- city is at present rov-
erned, between what was consolidation
law or charter and the multifarious legis-
tive amendments injected into it from
time to time by the law-making power of
the State, it is problem of no easy solu-
tion TO arrive at the proper steps TO be
taken to disposses the owners of the prop
ertv.
The general law as found in the Code of
Civil Procedure, which was quoted in yes
terday's CALL and which covers the ground
from legal standpoint of condemnation.
is all right as far as it COOS. But this by
no means solves the problem of securing
the much-coveI eIed lana.
According to the provisions OF the Code
on emin Mt domain the owners of prop
erty which has been condemned for pub
lie use are entitled to and must have
the price awarded to them by the trial
jury in thirty days after final judgment
| is entered.
This then to the people is where the snag
lies in the present contemplated acquir-
ing of this property. For in order to have
the money in the city treasury to meet the
demands bonds must be issued to raise
that money. and before such bonds are is
sued a special election for that purpose
must be held and a two-third vote OBJ
tanned before the measure would be car
ried.
The bonds so issued would run for forty
years, with a proviso that yearly tax
would have TO be levied to pay the inter
est and provide a sinking fund, which
would in all probability mean one fortieth
OF the mount called for by the bonds.
TO get about this modus operandi the
opinions OF lawyers conversant with the
ms and outs of our complicated system
were obtained in a brief manner from
Joseph Leggett, Judge J. G. Mcguire,
ID. n. Clement and Horace G. Platt.
Joseph Leggetf, after looking into the
problem for some time, suggested that a
syndicate of responsible and public
spirited citizens might form themselv
lnio commission and ascertain from the
owners OF the property the terms of sale.
