FAILED TO AGREE
The First of the Sunday Closing Cases
Results in Mistrial

The first of the many cases on the police
court dockets against saloon men who are
charged with selling liquor on Sunday was
tried yesterday. Several of those arrested
have pleaded guilty and paid their fines,
but the first cases to be fought out were
those against H. Peronia and Vousden
Craig. The entire day was consumed in
the trial of the cases and at go o'clock
they went to the jury. An hour later the
jury returned to court and announced that
they could not possibly agree. The vote
in the jury room was eight for acquittal to
four for conviction. The jury was dis
charged and the case reset for February
2Sth at $3.50 o'clock.
Perronia is the proprietor of the Central
avenue Park saloon and garden. On Sum
day, the 9Th instant, Patrolmen German
and Moore went to his place in citizens
attire and asked for drink. They were
told that they must buy tickets emitting
them to drinks. They bought beer tickets
then and got their beer and then arrested
Perronia and Craig, the latter being only
the barkeeper. The defense yesterday
proved that Perronia had a restaurant IL
cense and that the tickets bought by the
officers entitled them to lunch. the drinks
being given only with the lunch and not
sold. The attorneys for the defendants
made the most Of this technicality and
must have succeeded in establishing q rea-
sonable doubt in the minds of some of the
Jurors for a majority Of them were in
favor Of acquitting the accused.

dered the male defendant in breach of
promise case to pay the decidedly compe-
tent SUM of $54 3.33 to the afflicted fair
one This was thought to be the largest
amount ever awarded by jury in SIM
liar action. Though it is pretty high
estimate of blighted affection, there is an
other estimate which If not in dollars and
cents exactly as high, yet in general con-
sideration of excellence reaches as lofty
an altitude. That is the estimate of the
people in their general verdict as to the
efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
remedy for constipation. The action of
this gentle, but effective, laxative is never
accompanied by the gripping and other
abdominal disturbance which precedes or
accompany the operation of a gripping ca
thartic. Moreover, it is an Incompatible
remedy for and preventive of malarial,
rheumatic and kidney complaints, a never
failing means of invigorating the stomach
and nervous system, and a promoter Of ap-
petite and sleep. Persistence in it's use

The board of fire commissioners made a
recommendation to the city council yester-
day morning that another election be called
for the Issuance of $l50s000 fire bonds. This
action was taken after the regular meeting
had been declared adjourned. The commits
sioners, however, had not left the room
and bethought themselves of the little mat
ter of $l5O,0OO bond issue and voted the
recommendation above mentioned.
1t will be remembered that the vote on
this proposition was held on December II.
1897, and was lost by small majority. due
to the fact that the question was submit
ted with the school bond proposition.
The commission decided to hold the reg
ular semi-annual inspection of the depart-
ment next Tuesday morning at 1880 o'clock.
The second inspection is ordinarily held
on Admission day.

to the chief to report at the next session.
Mr.. Nettleton did not hesitate to say that
he would go ahead with his work. He
claims that his we'll was started before the
oil ordinance was ever thought of and
that he had right to bore without per-
nit. He did go ahead with the work, and
iatcr in the day was arrested by Oil In
spcctor Monlux. A test case will be made
OF the matter.
Rev. Mr.. Lamb, promoter and oil borcr

would remove his derrick and abandon ef-
forts to develop oil on Alvarado street
north Of Ocean View avenue.

Consul Williams Says Ours Exceeds That
Of All Other Countries.
A mail report from Consul Williams
reached the state department at Albany
recently under date Of Manila, Feb. %
last. 1t gives full description Of the
Philippine islands, their resources,
growth Of American trade, etc.. and
will be incorporated in the next volume
issued by the bureau Of statistics Of the
state department.. Mr.. Williams re-
port says:
"The trade of the Philippines with
the United States exceeds that OF all
other countries combined and Is grow
ing at a remarkable rate. Today have
authenticated invoices for export to the
United States amounting to &1SS. 066. "
He says the exports to the United States
average 81 600, 900 month. The report
states that 218, 900 bales of hemp were
exported during the last three months.
OF these 1873, 792 went to the United
States and 70, 900 to Great Britain and
other countries. Mr.. Williams shows
from this that the United States has 81
per cent of the export trade from the
Philippines, as against 80 per cent fol
Great Britain and other countries. III
says that last year the increase OF ship
ments to the United States was 1873, 0O'
