His Judgment Against the Hensley
Estate Affirmed.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision of Superior Judge Catlin, rem
dered on May /, 1896, in the case of
H Weinreich against Mary A. Hensley
and others. The judgment was for
1900.
The action was brought to foreclose

longing to the estate of Calvin p. Hens
ley. deceased. executed to him by the
defendant, Mary A. Hensley. The
tract Of land was the separate property
of the deceased and he was the hus-
band of the defendant.
In 1881, and again in 1884, Mrs.
Hensley filed and recorded a valid
declaration Of homestead on the prem
Uses. but her husband did not join her
in the declaration and never made any
declaration of homestead.
On June .. 1888. Mr.. and Mrs Hensley
made their promissory note TO the
nlaintiff for $4,000. giving a mortgage
on the land for security. Hensley died
in 1889 leaving a will in which. after
Giving certain pecuniary legacies, he
ieft the residue to his wife. She was
named as executrix, and gave due no
t,ce to creditors of the deceased to
rrasent their claims. In 1893 an order
vas made by the Superior Court au-

Death of James d. Bailey in San
Francisco.

The announcement of the death Of
James d. Bailey was received from San
francisco yesterday, where for several
days past Mr.. Bailey's death had been
expected
Mr.. Bailey came to Sacramento early
in 1850 and established himself in the

He was one of the group of Sacramen-
tans who put their money into the Cen

through his influence with Senator Ros-
coe. Conkling was largely Instrumental
in securing favorable action by Con-
gress. Early in the history of that
great enterprise, however, Mr.. Bailey
disposed Of his interest for handsome
sum and returned to his former home
at Utica, New York.
In the meantime he had acquired con-
| siderable real estate here, and for SONS
thirty years received a handsome in
come from the Government by renting
his Fourth and X streets property fol
Postoffice purposes. He made occa-
sional visits to Sacramento to look af-
ter his interests here, but was always
clasSed among nonresident property
owners who were scattered all over
America and Europe and had their rem
tails collected by agents and forwarded
to them.
Since the Government erected its own
building here a few years ago Mr.
Bailey has been in this city most of the
time looking after his interests himself
He was a very quiet man, and though

van Not Deteriorate Its Service.

The Capital Telephone and Telegraph
Company of Sacramento, not wishing to
deteriorate the value of its plant, have
never introduced what is. generally
known in Sacramento as the ten
party line service" Observation has
taught them that more than three tel
ephones upon one line within the city
limits cause delays in making connec-
tons between subscribers, necessitating
the request that party ''call again, line
busy" to the extent that it must neces-
sarily become serious menace to any
telephone business. Time saved in tel
ephone calls is money made. The Cap
ital service is time saving" If you are
losing valuable time in not receiving
prompt service, give the home company
chance. For the class of service
theirs is the cheapest ever legitimately
offered in the State.

A resolution proposing to the people Of

the Constitution of the State, by adding
a new section, to be known and designaf-
ed as Section Five and one-half Article
Six, thereby providing for the organiza-
ton of a court, to be known as the Court
of Claims The said proposed new section

Section 5h. The Court of Claims shall

COUNTY ROLLS MAY STAND
NO LIKELIHOOD OF ANY TAX
INCREASE.
The County Returns Exceed the
Total Valuation Fixed
in 1897.

From present indications very few II
any of the counties will be cited to ap-
pear before the State Board of Equal1-
cation to show cause why the assess
ments fixed by their Boards of Super
V1sors should not be increased.
There appears to be no cause for eta
tions, for from San Francisco down, in
almost every instance, the valuations
have been returned at higher hgureS
than those fixed by the State Board IN
1897.
Last year the valuation of property
in San Francisco city and county was
returned at a far less figure than the
State Board deemed it to be worth, and
the nut to be cracked was whether val
uations there should be increased, or
whether they should be allowed to
stand and values in other counties be
reduced to correspond with them.
San Francisco sent delegation, head
ed by Mayor Phelan, to protest before
the board against an increase, and so
we'll did they plead their cause that the
veterans on the board used a little di-
plomacy allowed valuations as fixed by
the San Francisco Supervisors to stand,
and then made a wholesale reduction of
values in all other counties in the State,
simply reducing valuations and increas-
ing the rate. San Francisco got moth
ing out of the matter except some
doubtful glory, and nobody was hurt
except the railroads, the valuations of
which had been fixed before the sweep
ing county reductions. The roads paid
the increased rate on their valuations,
and were mulcted to the tune Of thou
sands of dollars.
In 1897 the total valuation of prop
erty in counties, excluding railroads,
was fixed by the State Board, in round
numbers, at 81, 045, pa ,000 and leaving
valuations returned by the Auditors Of
the fifty-one counties already in, and
estimating that the six remaining ones
will be fixed at about the same figures
as last year, the total valuation VIII
reach, in round numbers, 81, OSo, oO6.UOO,
or an increase over valuations as LETT
by the State Board of Equalization IN
1897, of $40, 262, 600.
The returns, so far as examined, ap-
pear to be perfectly regular, except in
few cases, and it is proba BILE that Ala
media County officials will be cited to
appear and explain whether or not some
Of the values returned by them do not
properly belong to a railroad company
and should not have been assessed as
such Examination may prove the
property to belong to railroads, which
cannot be classified as county assess
ments, and in such case the valuation of
county property values would fall be-
low the figure fixed in 1897.

not yet been heard from are given be-

CAPITAL punishment in a case
like that of Durrant's is viewed
with greatest horror by a majority
of the people, for to inhict the death
penalty on circumstantial evidence
alone must necessarily leave some
room for doubt. This doubt will be
especially strong in those who did
not follow the evidence closely.
However, the verdict of the twelve
jurors must be accepted with every
faith in such cases as this, for their
whole attention was given to sitting
out the testimony, and their verdict
of guilty proves that they, who fol-
lowed the case so closely, were con-
WINGED beyond reasonable doubt
that Durrant was guilty. The pub
lie must accept the judgment of the
jury. and should do so implicitly.
