The County Will Now Quit Rock

Mr.. Touhey concludes to accept rea-
sonable price for it instead Of the Slu,-
900 for which he offered II to the Board
Of Supervisors
Since the board published the formal
announcement of it's intention to pur-
chase the lot, at the price named, tnere
has been a general protest against us
so doing The value of the S0x16o-foot
lot has been appraised by the pubic al
from 81, 900 to $4,000, but nobody has
been heard to put II above the latter
figure If the county were TO continue
to have the chaingang break rock for
road purposes, the lot, or the use or II,
for storing rock, as at present, wouid
doubtless be worth little more to the
county than to any one else, but good
judges of real estate values agree that
$1,000 would be a good, stiff price for 1t
under any circumstances.
The proposed purchase of the lot was
set for hearing yesterday, the County
Government Act providing that when
ever a county wishes to purchase
piece of property for any use. the mat
ter must be set for hearing on aspecitied
date, when any person may have the
right to appear and make his PROPOSE

The BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY

Elackwood, he is Gtien a mere boy or
IN invalid and weakly man.
Last year penalties in 81 cases,
amounting to 100000, were incurred
by constructors for the British navy,
owing to delays; they were enforced
in two cases only to the extent of $500.
The British government is the own

DURRANT'S HOPE RENEWED
His Friends Making Strenuous Efforts to
Delay Execution.
Scientific Men Disappointed That No
Autopsy Will He Allowed-COn-
sidercd as Significant.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, January 5.-The-
odore Durrant has renewed his hope of es-
Gaping the gallows, since the federal judges
have taken his latest petition for writ of
haDeas corpus under advisement. He seems
to have shaken off the despondency that
was fast bringing him to a s1ate of nervous
collapse.
Strong pressure is being exerted to induce
Governor Budd to either commute the SEN
tence OF grant reprieve. Chief Justice
Beatty of the supreme court, who dissented
from decisions of his colleagues against,
Durrant, visited the governor yesterday,
bur the result of the conference is not
known.
Scientific men, who are interested in the
pathological features of Durrant's case, are
Grievously disappointed at the prospect that
no autopsy will be allowed on the remains.
DR.. John W. Robertson, the celebrated
chemist, has received a commission from
the American Journal of Insanity to pre-:
pare an elaborate treatise ON the case. He
is firmly impressed with the extraordinary
character of Durrant as a study in psyche
pathy, and regrets that a post-mortem ex-
animation of the head Of the condemned
man cannot be made The fact that Dur
rant having been well advanced as a med
ical student should nave made a positive
request that no examination be made of
las face or head after death is commented
on significant.
1t seems that no measurements of Dur
rants head have been made.
The condemned man has made the fol-
lowing requests concerning the execution:
First. That the rope used to hang him
shall be destroyed Immediately after his
death. so that no person can say that he
holds piece of it as a memento
Second That none of the spectators shall
be allowed to gaze upon his features after
he is hanged.
Third. That no autopsy shall he held after
death. and that no physician be allowed to
examine his body
Fourth. That after he is pronounced dead
his body shall be delivered to his parents
as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that the situation i'm
