WALKA. WINS HIS
 SUNDAY CLOTHES
THE POLICE SEE NO OBJECT IN
 HOLDING THEM LONGER.
Chief Lees Thunders Rebuke to His Astute Sleuths Who Weaken and Surrender the
 Loot.

:: Gustav Walka rejoices fin the possession of his s45 suit. He came around yester- day to thank this paper for it, but really the paper had done nothing but tell the truth, a process said to shame the devil and. evidently equally potent in shaming the police.
 Walkas suit was stolen, the police found it in a pawnshop, and taking Ii from the pawn-broker held it until such time as the owner should be able to pro- duce S7 50, the sum the diligent Shylock had advanced the thieves. As explained yesterday morning, the police had no right to do this. They must have known that tSey lacked the right, for if they didn't know it how they manage to get in out of the rain must remain problem
 Yesterday Walka was summoned to the headquarters of Chief Lees, or so, with bated breath, the tale Is told, and asked If he was responsible for the article which appeared in The Call Indeed, with Chief was pointing to the article. Walka tried to explain that he was not but the burr of Sweden still sticks to his tongue and he made slow headway.

HIGHT0N AWARDED
 HIS COUNSEL FEES.
ATTORNEY GIVEN JUDGMENT
 AGAINST E. J. BALDWIN.
Sarcastic Reference Made by Counsel Representing the Plaintiff to the
 Ashley Scandal.

A jury in Judge Hunts court deter mined late Wednesday evening that the services rendered by Henry E. Highton on behalf of E. J. Baldwin, the we'll known millionaire, during his trying or deal in court as defendant in an action instigated against him by Lillian Ashley, and several minor matters, were reason- ably worth $S755 60 Highton in his .ac tion against Baldwin claimed $12,500 as d fee for his services. Baldwin as counter claim alleged that Highton owed him q large sum for board and lodging, and in his behalf was not worth more than $3750.
 The trial occupied several days and drew a crowd of interested onlookerS. The argument in the case was exceed ingly caustic, especially that of Attorney Walter Linforth, who represented High ton in the action. As he argued he held in his hand a copy of the decision in the case of Lillian Ashley against the aged millionaire, and referred sarcastically to those portions that reflected on Baldwin's relations with the young woman. Baldwin listened stocially to the words of the at torney, but was evidently relieved when the jury retired to deliberate on it's yer1 dict. When 1t returned, however, and en- tered the judgment against him he mani fested surprise, as did his counsel, but no comment was made. In all probability a motion for a new trial will be made, and in the event that 1t is denied an ap- peal will be taken to the Supreme Court.

UNWARRANTED ASSESSMENT.
Supreme Justices Have No Sympathy
 for Street Contract Jobbery.

Contractor John Kelso has met with an- other reverse this time at the hands of the Justices of the Supreme Court. Kelso brought action against P. J. Cole and others upon a street assessment. In 1894 he received from Contractor J. w. Smith a contract to do certain work on Sunny side avenue, between Circular avenue and Hamburg street, in this city, The con tract was extended from time to time un- til 1t finally expired in December, 1885, done between Tennessee and Forester streets, being one block of Sunnyside ave nue, included in the contract. The resi- due of the work was certified by the Su- perintendent of Streets to have been com pleted. On January, 1896, the Board of Supervisors ordered proportional as sessment to be made under section 1212 of the amended general street laws. The question under consideration was. had proportional assessment when portion of the work had been abandoned by the contractor and the time for the comple- ton of the whole contract had expired. Kelso lost his case in the lower court, and again yesterday in the Supreme Court. which says: We are of the opinion that the section Is provided 9 s a boon to the contractor who In good faith is prosecut- ing his work within the lines oI hIS aSree- ment and not 2S a reward to a default ing contractor who has forfeited his right to any relief in the premises. It fol- lows from these views that the assess upon the lot of the defendants. . /. <. For the reasons given in the foregoing opinion the judgment appealed from is affirmed ''

CREDITORS COME FIRST.
The Hale Estate Must Not Be Grip
 pied by Beneficiaries.

The Justices of the Supreme Court yes terday gave the lower court of this city setback in the case of the estate of Joseph P. Hale, deceased. By his will he left to his sisters, Mary Hale and Margaret Ryan, and his brother John a be- quest in the form of a life annuity of $50 a month each. The will was probated In May, 1893. In June, 1896, the sisters and brother filed petitions in the lower court, setting up that their annunities had not been paid and that the estate was in a condition to pay the same. Hales widow, who is also the administratrix, the daugh- ter and several creditors made opposition to the granting of the petitions, stating that the estate was largely in debt and that the distribution asked for would be d detrtment to the estate and an injury to the creditors. However, the lower court made an order granting the petition and requiring the administratriX to pay Mary Hale $2492 36 and John Hale a like sum, and to Mrs. Ryan $622 20, which had accrued since the will had been probated; also ordering her to keep up monthly pay ments to the benefciaries named.
 From this an appeal was taken. The Supreme Justices, upon looking into the facts, found that the estate is really heavily incumbered. Its value is $462 ,OO0 with an admitted indebtedness of over

his wagon standing on the corner near the City Hall, and entered Shoots saloon to take an order. Two well-dressed men immediately stepped into buggy stand ing near the curb and drove near Davis delivery wagon, where one of the men alighted. With cool deliberation, he went over to the delivery wagon and after ex- amining the tags on the various demi- johns he selected several containing whisky and lifted one at time from the wagon into his buggy. The completion of the theft took a minute or two. and in the meantime an aged shoemaker had hurried to Shoots saloon and informed Davis that his goods were being stolen. Davis came bounding out of the saloon and started toward the thieves, but with a se- rene smile they sailed away up the street. Davis and several citizens, there being no policeman in sight, started In pursuit, but after few blocks run all gave up the chase, and the thieves made good their escape. The case was reported at police headquarters, but as yet the thieves have not been apprehended.

House as his bride Goldberg, Bowen & Co. published a ditty in an advertising circular in which the name of Ngong F'ong appeared. The ditty was published Tor the purpose of advertising a brand of tea, but 1t commented in way not ex- actly to the taste of Ngong on the woo ing and wedding of a Ngong Fong he took to be himself. In consequence he brought suit against the firm respon- slble for the publication and asked that Sl0,000 damages be awarded him..
 The poem was read to the jury when the case was called yesterday morning, ana Ngong, who was present In court With his wife, was put on the stand. For one who had long ago renounced the cus- toms of his native country he said the coupling of his name with joss sticks, bfrd-nest soup and tomtoms was very hu- initiating and had hurt him greatly. E. J., Arnold. who was responsible for the advertisement, next took the stand, and stated that it was purely accidental that the poem happened to lit Ngong and his marriage. He had no idea of the exist ence of the plaintiff and intended to re- fleet upon no one. Witnesses to corro- borate Arnold were called, and the case then went to the jury, with the result that Ngong was awarded Sli 2S as a compensation for the libel.
