FIVE GENTS PER MILE.
Supreme Court has not Passed on the Fee
Bill.

The much mixed matter of con-
stables fees manages to bob up every
now and then in some form or other.
A short time ago the papers had an
item to the effecr that the Supreme
court had handed down an opinion
giving constables ten cents per mile
circular and as result the spirit oi
the officers rose. Several days ago
County Commissioners Solicitor Wit
mer wrote to Prothonotary Green, Of
the Sepreme court, asking for a copy
of the opinion of that court increasing
the mileage Of constables, to which he
received the following answer:
DEAR SIR: This court has not filed
an opinion allowing constables ten
cents per mile circular. There may
be such a case pending, but we do
not know it. Yours truly,
...... CHARLES S. GREEN.
The Supreme court has decided
that constables are allowed only five
cents per mile circular. The Supreme
court could not take action on a mat
ter of this kind when the amount in
volved in less than $Iooo.-Milton

BISHOP MORELAND.
He Will Probably Take UP His
Residence in This City.

The House of Bishops of the Epis-
copal Convention at Washington has
elected Rev. w. H. Moreland of st.
Luke's Church, San Francisco, Mis-
sionary Bishop for this district 1t is
very probable that Mr.. Moreland will
take up his residence in this city. A
brief outline of his life and work will
therefore prove not uninteresting to
Sacramentans.
The Rev. William Hall Moreland,
who was elected Missionary Bishop for
the Sacramento District by the Epis-
copalian Convention at Washington,
was born in Charleston, S. c., in 1853,
and is now 40 years of age. He is of
Southern parentage, his forefathers be-
ing of the old slave holding families.
His boyhood was spent in Charleston
and he entered the school at Cheshire,
Conn, and was from there sent to the
University of the South at Swanay.
Tenn, from which he was graduated
with hi<h orders.
He subsequently took a theological
course at the Berkeley Divinity School
at Middleton, Conn; was graduated
from there in 1884 and was ordained in
the deaconate the same year. His
first year in the ministry was spent as
assistant to the Rev. DR.. Nichols, the
rector of Christs Church at Hartford.
Mr.. Nichols is the present Bishop of
California.
Mr. Moreland was ordained as priest
in 1885 by Bishop Nichols. The same
year he was called to the rectorship of
the Church of the Good Samaritan at
Nashua, n. H, where he remained for
ten years.
Four years ago he was called to ST.
Lukes Church in San Francisco, since
which time he has been the rector,
with the Rev. w. G. Shaw as the as
sistant The church has been very
prosperous under his administration
Mr. Moreland is married and has two
children, a boy and a girl. They re-
side when in San Francisco on Wash
ington street, near Hyde.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
Perrin Stanton's House Damaged
He Was Considerably Burned.

yesterday morning at a quarter past
., an alarm of fire was turned in from
Seventh and N streets and the Fire
Department promptly responded, max
ing excellent time
1t proved to be at the residence of
Perrin Stanton, at 1909 Sixth street,
which was considerably damaged by
fire and water. Mr.. Stanton, shortly
after he arose, went to a closet in his
room where some clothing was hang
ing, and having in his hand a lucine
lamp, with no chimney on it. After
he had dressed, he noticed that some
thing was burning and saw smoke is
suing from the closet. He opened the
door and the flames poured out, the
whole interior being on fire. He en-
deavored unsuccessfully to put it out
and spark fell on his back, igniting
his shirt. Realizing that he could not
subdue the flames he gave the alarm.
The upper story of the house is dam
aged in the rear considerably, and the
lower story is somewhat damaged by
water. The loss is covered by insur-
ance.
Mr.. Stanton, who was Slone in the
house, his family being in San Fran
cisco, was badly burned on his hands
and back. His hair and eyebrows are
scorched badly. His burns were at
tended to and he was made as COM
Portable as possible.
When the alarm was turned in for
Mr.. Stanton's house, the Fire Depart
ment had barely returned from a run
to small blaze at the house of Mrs.
Anderson, 1919 o street, which was
easily eXtinguished. 1t was supposed
to have been caused by placing a light
ed lamp too close to a gasoline tank,
igniting the gas that escaped, and do
ing about 500 worth Of damage. A
man who worked at the house had one
of his hands quite badly burned in try
ing to eXtinguish it.
