WATER FIGHT |S
 IN THE COURTS Three Injunction Suits at Los Angeles. ALL TO BE TRIED TOGETHER BY AGREEMENT OF OPPOSING
 COUNSEL.
ALL TO BE TRIED TOGETHER
Two of the Actions Brought by the Company, the Other by the City-opening of Argu-
 ments.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.-Three in
 junction suits, one brought by the Los
 Angeles City Water Company against
 the city and two by the city against the
 water company, were begun in the Su-
 perior Court here this morning. Judge
 Osten of San Bernardino County Is on the bench.
 Attorney Chapman in opening the
 case for the water company explained that it had been decided to try the
 three cases at once. The court being
 agreeable, he said, that the arguments
 of the two sides would alternate. and
 that counsel had agreed not to hold themselves bound, but after the formal arguments closed to add what in their judgment seemed to have been not suf- ficiently covered
 Chapman then took up the history of
 the case briefly. The city, he expla ned, laid no claim to the machinery of the
 works except the Bellevue avenue pipes.
 Attorney Scott, for the city, inter- rupted. He wanted it understood clear ly that although the city did not claim the pipes in Los FeliZ marsh land, the water was maintained to belong to the
 municipal corporation.
 Regarding the contention of the city
 that the rights of the water company
 in the matter were merely the rights of a tenant MT Chapman said: Tt is the most remarkable case of land lord and tenant that any man ever heard of. It is a case where the tenant has all the rights and title in the case and the landlord has none at all. Yet the city makes no secret that it in tends to take the Crystal Springs prop oy~fI hut m nf if sentatives have looked it over and de- cided what they could not get along without. We are entitled to the land. No matter where the water goes or comes from, they have no right to the pipes We claim that they are not entitled to a receiver, and can cite de- cisions to show It."
 Here MT. Chapman read extracts
 from a number of Supreme Court opinions and continued: "On few points we all agree. We agree that the contract of 1868 was made, and that the only difficulty is in its interpretation. By that contract they claim the right erty July, 1898. When that contract
 was made the city had an old wooden water wheel and some wooden pipes. What has become of that ancient struc-
 ture I do not know. By the theory that
 nothing is lost I presume it's atoms are
 still with us. Since then there have l been more than 320 miles of pipe line
 put in. The City Water Company has
 since purchased the water rights of the
 Citizens Water Company. The city can
 have no landlords rights in this matter
 Regarding the anxiety of the city about accommodating water rates,
 would ask what better security could i the city have than a debt to the com
 pany of $1,00O,0oo?

REV, JONES FILLS
 4 RENO PULPIT Recently Divorced by an
 Alameda Court. LOCATED THROUGH THE CALL
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RENO, New, Aug. 10.-It transpires was granted a divorce In Alameda County, as stated in last Sundays Call, Is the Rev. Frederick Vernon Jones who has lived and filled the pull pit of the Congregational Church of this city since last April and continues to do so. And this despite the fact that he claimed to be engaged in business at Haywards and to have quit the min istry.
 The fact that he is or has been mar ried and that the person referred to in The Call is the same as the one occupy ing the pulpit here will be very inter- esting news to many of the people of this city.
 The Rev. MT. Jones came here last April and since then has become one of the well-known people of the city. He has met with fair success as pastor of one of the largest churches here, has made himself rather a favorite in a social way and enjoys the privilege of calling upon the best people of the city, regardless of whether or not they belong to his church. While he has not stated that he was an unmarried man the fact of his having been mar ried and divorced-in short, that he is the same man referred to In last Sun days Call has not been dreamed of here until The Call correspondent, at tracted by the similarity in names, etc, investigated the matter and found it to be so.
 What action his congregation will take in the matter will probably be de- ternnined shortly after the members learn the facts in the case.

 SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Aug. 10.-Bald- wins Theater was crowded when the Democratic Convention was called to order at noon. Congressman Richard P. Bland, introduced as temporary chairman, was received with great ap- plause. In the course of his address he declared his belief that eventually Cuba and Porto Rico would come Into our country, but he desired no declara- tion on that question until these tSIat- err, tories were prepared to come in or thelr own free will and accord and under Democratic principles.
 The first ballot resulted in the nomi- nation of Judge William c. Marshall for Supreme Judge for the long term and Judge Leroy B. Valiant for the short term of the same office. The con- vention then adjourned until to-mor- row.
 Late tonight the committee on reso- i lutiOns agreed on a platform which in 1 dorses the Chicago platform; opposes l. iacquisition of the Philippines or other | territory in the Eastern hemisphere; i approves the construction of the Mica
 raguan canal which should be con-
 trolIed by the United States; declares ! that our navy should be kept equal to
 any emergency and demands that Porto Rico and all Spanish territory in I the West Indies, except Cuba, shall be
 taken and held by the United States,
 Cuba to be allowed to establish it's own i government and to be annexed only at
 the desire of the people of the island. l DOUGLAS, Wyo,, Aug. 10.-The Re- | publican State converr+on S1et here at l 5:30 o'clock, with very enthusiastic and

 The convention listened to speeches by number of delegates, and ad- journed without action until tomorrow morning. There is an overwhelming sentiment in favor of adopting the financial plank of the St. Louis plat form, and the national administration will be commended and upheld. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 10.-At the Republican State convention held at Ocala yesterday State candidates were nominated, and at the Second Dis- trict Republican convention, held at the same place to-day, H. L. Anderson was nominated for Congress.

FEAR A FAILURE.
Oriental Steamship Company Will
 Probably Collapse.

TACOMA, Aug. 10.-Advices received from Japan to-day say the Japan Herald states that shareholders of the Oriental Steamship Company, which had intended running steamers to San Francisco next year, have refused to pay the fourth cali on their shares, fearing evidently that the company Is foredoomed to failure, be- cause the foreign services of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha have proved a source of loss. The Herald says further that some company.

CHRlSTMAS GIFT
HqMAKO hELo'ue.

Few persons outside her family knew
anything about it.
Christmas was drawing near, and q
doleful day it was likely to be for me.
The last three had spent in the Weth
erells' home, and the change from that
to a lonely bachelor apartment and a
cheerless dinner at club was enough
to make me wish that | had been pa
gan with no knowledge of this sacred
festival
In any event, however, l should not
have been at the Wetherell house that
year, for since the early part of Novem-
Der Jane and had been bound by a
promise to the Grays of Princeton, who
were to give an old fashioned Christ
mas party in their historic mansion.
OF course we could not go under the
new order of things. l had written a
note of regret, with some mild false
hood as my excuse, but l understood
that Jane had told the truth in her own
letter of declination to Mrs. Gray.
At the last moment was seized with
a desire to go. Perhaps it was impossi-
BILE for me to face the prospect of spend
ing the day alone. Whatever may have
been the impulse, | wrote again to Mrs
Gray and begged to be allowed to
change my mind.
My friendship with them all was
close enough to permit of such an un.
conventional act and to justify me in
expecting the cordial reply which re-
ceived by the earliest possible mail.
Thus it happened that l took train
from New York on Christmas forenoon
with heart so heavy that don t see
how the engine managed to haul it.
would not positively assert that this
overweight was responsible for the dis
aster of the day, but whether from that
or some strictly mechanical cause the
train on the little branch from the
Junction to Princeton jumped the track
about 300 yards from Princeton station
and distributed itself crosswise upon
the rails.
No one was hurt, but there was CON
siderable excitement. A woman who
was sitting behind me clasped her large,
warm arms around my neck and yelled
into my ear that we should all be killed,
and if her husband had not come to my
rescue I should never have breathed
again,
This incident delayed me so much
that I was ono Of the last to leave the
train. Looking ahead from the plat
form of the car, l saw the passengers
walking the track in a long procession,
and among them, to my inexpressible
surprise, was Jane!
She was not more than twice cars

when my glance rested on her, but she
Immediately turned away and began
to walk with the others toward the sta

The sight Of her filled my mind with
confusion. OF course she could not be

we could not speak of the one topic
which interested us, we spoke of every
thing that didn't. 1 wish l could re-
member all the stupid things we said.
They would make first rate modern
society drama of the innocuous kind.
The ride seemed so long that l was
afraid the driver had lost his way, but
if he had he found it again, for
we pulled up alongside the station at
last

cussion. | tried to persuade Jane to go

the annoyance Of meeting me. Neither,
TO be perfectly frank. could stanu such
collision myself
The best course seemed to be to loiter
until Jane had ridden away in one Of
the Grays' carriages that would surely
be waiting at the station, and then to
look up some conveyance that could take
me back to Princeton Junction.
| approached the station warily, for l
did not wish to be seen by any one who
i would report my presence to the Grays
saw one of their equipages moving
away filled with people, but could not
be sure whether Jane was of the num-
ber.
Inquiring of a baggage man, whom
found in an obscure corner of the station
platform, | learned that two coaches
were already waiting for passengers
who wished to ride over TO the Junction
He pointed out an ancient and ponder
Gus hack, and after word with the
driver, | climbed in.
There was already one passenger, q
lady who sat ON the rear seat. | did not
notice her particularly until we were
face to face in the vehicle, and then ]
perceived that she was Jane.
"You saw me, then !'' I cried.
Yes" said she, II saw you on the
train, and, thinking that it would be
embarrassing for you to meet me at the
party, | decided to go back to New
York You must get right out and go tC

Certainly not" said warmly. "Dc
you suppose that I will spoil your day
by driving you back to New York in
return, but you must go to the party.

$50 did l." said she, "but changed
my mind day before yesterday. Mother
wanted me to go. She thought 1t would
be well for me to do so. -

voice, "has this folly of ours so hurt
you that your mother is anxious and"-
Not in the least" she answered

But she wouldn't do anything of the
sort, and we sat there disputing as to
which of us should be the human sacri |
fee and which should go to the party
until three moro passengers for the
Junction arrived and cut off our discus- |
sion.
The subject involved too many init
mate details for us to talk of it in the
presence of strangers, and the situation,
which had been bad enough before, was
rendered much worse by their advent
Jane and l had been unable to arrive |
at "a decision before they came, and we |
certainly couldn't do it afterward. Nei- |
ther of us could leave the carriage with
ont seeming to sacrifice the other, and |
the result was that we remained and |
were trundled over to the Junction.

finally disposed of by Judge Amber
son in the criminal court at Nash

various points Of the argument,
Judge Anderson said: II have
given this question careful con-
sideration, and that he is guilty and

lent intent is a conclusion absolute
ly impossible to escape. For my
part, | am satisfied with the verdict
and see no reason to disturb it,"
