SANTA CRUZ MUST PAY.
Decision of Judge de Haven That the Water Bonds Are Valid and
 Must Be Redeemed.

Judge de Haven, sitting yesterday as a Circuit Judge, gave decision against the city of Santa Cruz in the case of AL bert H. Waite to recover s23, 100 and $50 interest on each of 2S5- coupons. Judg- ment is against the city for $22, ,950 three of the coupons not being the property of the plaintiff. but assigned to him for collection. The history of the case is that the city of Santa Cruz issued in April, 1894 s360, GOO of per cent bonds to >defray the cost of building public water works. The bonds were sold at per cent below par to Coffin & Stanton. and delivered to Walter Stanton of the firm without the payment of any money for them whatever, the delivery being made by Lieutenant Governor Jeter, at that time de facto Mayor of the city, and the Common Council
 The firm sold the bonds, pocketed the money and went into insolvency, so that the city was unable to collect anything from them. Thereupon the city repu- diated the bonds and issued a new series.
 The defense in the present suit was made on the ground that Jeter and the Common Council being only de facto off, cers could not make any valid issue or transfer of bonds their successors hay ing been elected and qualified at the time. Judge de Haven decided that the acts of de facto officers if performed in an open and public manner and without op- position or obstruction were valid and that the bona fide purchaser is not re- quired to make any investigation beyond the fact of the law and the face of the bonds

 The independent puzzle is as complex as ever, and although the convention IS called for tomorrow evening, no one out side of the promoters of the movement knows much about it. All kinds of assur- ances are given that there are many prominent citizens supporting the move ment, who decline to have their names made public in advance of the convention because they do not want to be subjected to the bother of buttonholing by candi- dates.
 Councilmen Heitman and Brosnahau de clare that ex-Mayor John l.. Davie will certainly be on the ticket as candidate for County Assessor, and in addition 1t is probable that John English may be nominated by the independents for County Clerk. Opinions differ regarding this somewhat mysterious new party some think there may be no convention; others that it will be a tame affair, while this evening there was report on the streets that there is likely to be riot, as seV- eral parties have expressed a determina- tfon to break up the affair in its inception.

O'NEIL AS
 NANCY SYKES

Morosco's "Trilby' is a soft, pale per- formance by comparison with the "Oliver Twist that was given in the Columbia last night. It was melo- drama to the last limit, and Miss Nance O'Neil reached her superlative in the part of Nancy Sykes. All the rough ness of voice and method and the Vesuvian personality that have been more or less too much for the other roles that she has played here were given full vent and she played the part as it has never been played here before. Nancy is a character that demands of an actress strength, health and frank brutality There Is no mincing mat ters; no delicate compromises. The part will StanC for no feminine bland ishments. It is hard and terrible; ir these qualities lie its spell and its grim pathos. Miss ONeil did not spare an atom of her vanity in playing it for all that it was worth. She was large, husky, dark and unpretty to gaze upon. and she moved like a ship in storm: but she was the Nancy Sykes of Dick ems and we all were in a goose flesh of appreciation.
 Mckee Rankin, too, came into his melodramatic own as Bill Sykes, a fa- miliar role of his to the older theater- goer, and one that shows him at his violent best. Herbert Carr was rather too hysterical as Fagin, and Miss Affie McVicar was the victim of that silly old tradition which contends that girl should piay Oliver. On Oliver hinges the sympathy and intrigue of the play and there is no sense in deny ing him even sex. The others did noth- ing notable, but played with commen- dable unanimity and sound. Any one who cares for melodrama of the good old hair lifting kind can have a thrill ing time at this performance of "Oliver Twist" ASHTON STEVENS.
