from $50 to $40 month; and the cleo
ton is for only one year.
To-day a ianitor, a constable of the
grand jury, court crier and road
supervisor will be elected There is
plenty of material to choose from, for
there is number of candidates for each
of the offices. The county physician will
not be elected until next May, that be-
ing the time at which Dr. Ellis term of
oi.icc expires.
Mr.. Joseph Blake, county surveyor,
gave his bond as soon as the board met
yesterday morning. 1t was accepted
and he was sworn in. His bond was
for 81 900. 1t was personal bond,
signed by Mr.. Burt Wilder. Mr..
Blake was sworn in by Justice of the

Mr.. w. G. Allen who won the covited
prize of superintendent of the Wake
coupty work house and poor home. is
not unknown to the people of the coun-
ty, nor to the institution over which he
is to resume control. Mr.. Allen has
held the position for a dozen years or
more, and the fact that he won the po-
sition over n dozen or so of the best
men and the best Democrats in the
county after a hard fought contest,
shows that when he retired from the
position before. he left a splendid record
behind him. He is good man, ca
pable public officer and one of the
staunchest and best Democrats that
ever lived in the county. He had OPP
ponents who were equally as good men.
perhaps equally as competent and as
firm in their adherance to Democracy.
and his coming over then is an honor
that he no doubt duly appreciates.

Exciting Time Among the Hackmar
Last Night-Driver Miller Hurt.


One of the most exciting runaways
ever seen here took place yesterday
evening about 6:15 o'clock and caused
the greatest CONSERVATION among
the raft of hacks on the Marlboro
house block Of Fayetteville street. For
a few minutes there was a miscellaneous
pile OF horses and vehicles, and an ex-
cited crowd surrounded them on the
street in front of the Henry building.
The catastrophe was precipitated by
pair of gray horses attached to a car
riage of the liverymen. Upchurch and
Lancaster. These horses We're frighten-
ed at the head of Fayetteville street by
street car while the driver, Tom Har-
ris was taking Il trunk into the South
ern Express Company. They tore down
the street in wild gait, frightening
horses attached to vehicles along the
way. the delivery team of the Co-opcra-
tive Company being one and the buggy
of a countryman another. Policeman
Anderson captured the runaway buggy
and other parties stopped the flight of
the delivery team.
The climax of their wild career was
reached in front of the Henry building,
wien tHeS ran lhto MI. w. -. uchtl D
private equippage and another team
with the result that all the horses went
down in heap and the driver of Mrs.
fuckers carriage, Alex Miller, was
thrown into their midst, sustaining some
very painful bruises.
There were over a dozen vehicles in
the vicinity of the smash up, and for a
few minutes there was wild excitement
of hackmen getting their teams out of
the way of the flyers. A strange fact
was that none of the horses or vehicles
suffered any particular injury, only the
harness being damaged.
A crowd rushed to Miller's assistance
and he was taken in charge and given
medical attention at once. The horses
and vehicles were taken TO Upchurch
and T.anca Stpr'S stables

LAFAYETTE MEMORIAL
City Schools Asked to Aid the Honu-
ment Fund

City Superintendent Foshay Is in re-
ceipt of a circular letter from Ferdinand
W. Peck, commissioner general from this
country of the Paris exposition. concerning
the proposed monument to Lafayette,
asking his support as superintendent OF
schools in the movent. 1.-THE especial OBJ
ject," the commissioner states, SIS to
draw the attention of our children to our
early struggle for liberty, thus to broaden
and elevate their minds by the contempla-
ton of those early deeds Of patriotism and
the noble sacrifice that Lafayette, a
youth, made in the sacred cause of liberty"
1t is mentioned, also, that the French
people are beginning to show apprecia-
ton Of the movement In the United States
in advocating the erection of a monument
to Washington by the school children of
France.
Professor Foshay says he feels reluctant
in agitating the movement in the schools
of this city, unless President Mckinley
should issue a proclamation to that ef-
feet, which 1t is said he has promised to
do before October /. Great interest in
the enterprise Is being manifested by edu-
ators in Ohio and Michigan. Governor
Bushnell Of the former state will, 1t is said
issue a proclamation in a few days desig-
mating October 10th as Lafayette day, to
be appropriately celebrated in the schools.
Professor H. B. Hutchins, acting presi-
dent of Michigan university, has pledged
his word that the Ann Arbor institution
will contribute its share toward the monu-
ment.

A MUTlLATED DEED
CWu CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE
EMERY CASE DISMISSED
OWNER OF OSBORNE RANCH
Sad Story of a Guileless San Diegan
and How He Parted From His
Wcalth-Court News

The suit Of Frank Emery, Arlene Cox and
Eveline Weller against Mrs. Sarah b.
Emery, which has been on trial before
Judge York for the past few days. took n
new turn yesterday, when the defendants
attorneys moved for new trial in the three
causes of action, on the ground that the
plaintiffs had failed to make q case. In the
suit the plaintiffs, who are children Of
Frederick Il. Emery, deceased, attempted
to secure a half-interest In the Osborne
ranch, which is part of the Rancho Los
Cerritos, and in the second and third causes
of action asked for a decree giving them
their share, as heirs of their fathers es-
tate, in eight lots at Long Beach and $500.
claimed by Mrs. Emery, widow of the de-
ceased and stepmother of plaintiffs. as her
personal property. In the second and third
causes Of action Judge York granted the
non-suir, but refused a similar order In the
first.
The question of ownership of the twenty
acres of land Is based directly on deed
which Is in the hands of the defendant.
The deed was recorded first on January T.
1889, and by its terms conveyed the prop
erty from George Osborne to S. r. Emery
The defendant claims that 1t was gift
denied by the plaintiffs. who allege that
the deed was first recorded in S. d. Emery's
favor, but that it was a mistake and was
not intended to be so recorded. Whether
or not this is true. it is a matter of record
that the deed was sent to the county record
cr's office on June I. 1889 with request to
change the initial from IS" to IF"
In the arguments yesterday several
xx.tth
brought out that give the case decidedly
complicated phase AS before stated Mrs.
Emery claims the propert" -as decided to
her as a free gift from her and. II this
"a true. 1t is strange tina the second
recording of the deed. when the initial IS"
was scratched and the letter "F." substi-
tuted. no change was made m the pody OF
the deed, and 1t now reads that George
Osborne deeds to S. b. Emery and mis-
heirs" etc.
On the ,"od, the oeIenuaht ci"Iis
that If 'g was for the pur-
nose of co. AXE, 1t was strange
+het tho H. d five months be-
fora recordin. .lso that he did not
,ake the prone, % make the correc-
ton, which was secure Mrs. Emery's
consent. AS 1t is, the second recording
made no material difference In the title OF
the property. Another point presented IN
the argument is the fact that at the time
of both filings The parties interested were
residents of Long Beach. In the first IN
stance the recorder was requested to send
the deed to Long Beach, but IN the second
case It was stated the party would call.
Mrs Emery charges her stepson' Frank
Emery, with fraud. In support OF her
charge. she testified that he was living at
,he ranch at the time Of the execution OF
The deed and could have easily secured IT
and sent 1t to be filed. Further evidence on

NEW ROAD TO LONG BEACH
Supervisors Working on the Scheme.
County Farm in Good Condition

A first-class direct road from this city to
Long Beach, a scheme the residents OF tho
beach city have been working on for
near future. Property owners along the
proposed route are lending substantial aid
to the plan and helping in every way to
secure the much-needed road.
Supervisors r. f. Wrschng and A. E.
Davis went down to Long Beach yesterday
morning, and were driven from there over
the proposed road. 1t is the intention to
then branch off, passing Downey a few
miles to the west, and from there come in
almost a straight line to East Seventh
street. near the river. Surveyors will be
sent down next week. preparatory to Sc
curing deeds for r.ght-of-way. Super
visor Wirsching said yesterday the new
road would shorten the driving distance
between this city and Long Beach about
four miles.
The supervisors stopped at the county
farm yesterday and found things in ex-
cellent condition. The two new slos have
been completed and are we'll stored with
chopped corn. II Is estimated there are
about 22O tens Of the best grade of milk
fodder in them, which will keep for six
months. There are now eighty COWS at the
farm, and 1t is tho present Intention Of the

Water company ct AL, enjoindng the water
company from using . cer tain pipe line
which the court adjudgeG the plaintiff
owner, and entitled to divert certain
water from o stream owned by defendant
has been reversed by the supreme court
granting leave to both parties to amend
their pleadings ~ they may advise.
The plaintiffs are tenants In common
with others Of certain tracts OF land,
through which . stream known as East
Canyon creek flows.
In 1882 the defendant diverted water
from the stream upon one Of the tracts
Of land owned by the plaintiffs by means
of a fiume and used 1t for irrigating pir-
poses on lands owned by the stockholders
in the defendant corporation. The plain
tiffs afterwards diverted water from the
stream and used It for irrigating their own
lands.
In June, 1892, the defendants removed the
fiume and laid pipe line over plaintir' s
land. The present action was brought by
the plaintiffs to secure q certain part Of the
water flowing through the pipes on plain
tiff's lands. and also to enjoin the defend
ants from using the pipe line.
The supreme court holds that the case
before the court Is not the question Of de-
fendant's right to use the fiume. but the
right to lead water through the new pipe
line. The case has been returned to re-
hearing.

chances for reform would be materially
retarded should he be called upon to sus-
pend, even fer a br.ef space. the gliding

The next day Dow was arrested and was
held last August to answer to the charge
