WHAT To- Do WITH THE URPL Us
SCOTS REAL ESTATE BRINGS
MORE THAN THE MORTGAGE.
Travellers Insurance Company Fore
closure For $40, 532-The As
signee Demands the Excess.

Special Master Lewis yesterday filed
his report of the sale of the George
NJ. Scott company real estate in the
federal court. The sale was under
foreclosure of a mortgage in favor of
the Travellers Insurance company,
amounting, with interest, to $42 532. 50.
The property sold was the warehouse
west of the postoffice and the store on
Main street, which were bought by A.
Hanauer on behalf Of the mortgagors
for $64, $50. The sale included the in
terest of the corporation. of George NJ
Scott & Co, and that of George NJ
Scott individually, covering the whole
of the two properties.
The amount realized is $21.96S more
than sufficient, to satisfy the mortgage
of the Travellers Insurance company
and some question has arisen as to
whom the balance belongs. The as
signee of the George NJ Scott company,
Hugh Anderson, claims it on behalf
of the creditors. and has made de-
mand on Special Master Lewis for it,
while it is understood that there are
other claimants for it, and it may re-
quire a decision of the court to deter
mine what disposition shall be made of
it. Part of it may be the individual
property of Mr. Scott.

INSANE PERSONS.
An Opinion Given By Attorney Gen
eral Bishop Yesterday.

Attorney General Bishop yesterday rem
dered an opinion to Medical Superintend-
ent Hardy of the state insane asylum to
the effect that the superintendent is re-
quired TO accept. as permanently commit
ted to the asylum. a person who has been
adjudged to be insane by the chairman of
the board of county commissioners. pro-
Nided the commitment is regular in all
other respects, just the same as though
the commitment We're made by district
judge. The attorney general also holds
that the superintendent can lawfully re-
ceive q person whose insanity. as shown
on the face of the commitment, is a case
of idiocy, imbecility or simple feebleness
of mind. If. however there should be
palpahle defect in the commitment. which
appears upon its face. such, for instance,
as the omission of the judges signature
or the omission of the court seal, or any
other similar defect, in the attorney gem
erals opinion, the superintendent would
be justified, and it would be in his dis
erection. to reject such commitment. Be
yond this, any statements contained in
any papers connected with the examina-
ton and commitment would not be sub
ject to his review. they having been ex-
amined and adjudicated by the commit
ing judge or commissioner.

New York. Aug. 26.-In the last two days
it has been persistently asserted in va
rious quarters that in order to assist in
bringing about the abolition of all Diff
ferentials upon the so-cdlled weaker rail
roads running between New York and
Chicago, the New York Central and
Pennsylvania will withdraw their limited
trains. 1t was also asserted that the de-
cision TO do away with these fast trains
had been arrived at in the course of d
meeting held on Tuesday between repre-
sentatlveS of the company. Samuel r.
Galloway. president of the New York
Central, denied with the utmost emphasis
that his company had the least intention
OF stopping its limited service to Chicago.

sion of our limited train Mr. Galloway
explained, has ever been considered by
the directors of the New York Central
nor will any such idea ever be entertained.

Lasr evening. at the jail. Senfert told
a Herald reporter his version of the
accident. He said ne was driving down
State street sunday evening about 1899,
and-Aghen quarter of block below

road, he met a street car, which
frightened his horse SO that it turned

run upon H2lsett, who was coming
up the road on a wheel. He admitted
having taken a few drinks of beer but
denied being under the influence of

Policemaa Hempel, who was in close
proximity, but did not get a clear view
Of the accident, stated that witnesses
OF the affair claim that he was driving
recklessly in a zigzag line, indicative
OF intoxication, and that his horse was
not frightened by a street car. After
he struck the boy he drove on and

THE WATER SUPPLY.
Changes Made to Equalize Pressure
and Distribution.

In order TO better equalize the pressure
and TO assure more satisfactory distribu-
ton of water in the pipe system, the
council committee on street SDrinkling
yes terday ordered that Heath & Preece's
SprinkIing carts operate only between the
hours OF II D. m. and 4 a. m, and the
Griffin wagons to be run only from IL a.
m. to 4 p. m. Notwithstanding that the
conduit was carrying IL inches of water
last night, the pressure was abnormally
low. This condition will exist as long as
the irrigation department continues to
keep fire plugs open in isolated places and
allow water to waste for irrigation where
none is needed and the pipe system is
suffering.
1t was learned yesterday that one of
the matters considered by the irrigation
committee and WatermaSter Seldom in
secret session Thursday evening was a
scheme of the watermaster to get the
city TO buy, for $2,000, a spring said to be
located in the foothills. between Farley S
and Mill creek canyons. BY Tuning this
water to the conduit it is claimed the
city'S supply would be increased a couple
of million gallons daily. 1t is alleged also
that the bulk OF the springs flow sinks
under the surface after going a short
distance, the surplus being used for irri-
cation by couple of small farms on the
bench.
