The record-union., 1899-01-07

Sheriff had demanded Of the old Sheriff
the books and papers Of the office,
which demand the old Sheriff refused to
comply with, and thereupon the pro-
ceeding was commenced in court.
The Supreme Court, after carefully
reviewing all of the facts in the case,
quoted freely from the record of the
lower court, wherein it was shown that
Hopping, the new Sheriff, was duly
elected, that he had received certifi-
cate of election; that he had, within
the statutory time after receiving the
certificate of election, taken and sub
scribed the oath of office, and made and
filed his bond as required by law, and
had demanded of the old Sheriff the
possession of the books and papers be-
longing to the Office, and thereafter had
endeavored to discharge the duties of
the offite-said: cot course, the cleo
ton alone did not constitute Hopping
the incumbent of the office. The law
required him, after receiving his certifi-
cate of election, to take the oath of
office and give bond within the time re-
quired by law. If he failed to do those
things according to law within the time
required by law, the office was vacant.
= Until an officer elect takes the
oath of office and gives bond accord
ing to law, he is not authorized to dis
charge the duties of the office and is
not an incumbent. But the al
Legations and proofs in the proceeding
under review were sufficient to sustain
the findings and decision of the court
that Hopping was the actual incum-
bent. Prima facie, however,
the bonds under which he qualified were
sufficient. Being sufficient, his right to
the office and it's incidents was un
questionable
Hall VS.. Superior Court, GO Cal, 176.
In other words, the Supreme Court in
this case decides that where a certifi-
cate of election has been issued to a
man for a particular office and he files
the requisite bond, takes his oath of
office and performs such other acts as
the law requires, and then proceeds, to
the best of his ability, to discharge the
duties of his office, he is an actual in
cumbent" within the meaning Of the
provisions of Section 1915 of the Po-
litical Code, and is entitled to the relief
provided for in that section, if the
papers belonging to the office are not
delivered to him.
This seems to the court to be the only
reasonable Interpretation of the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in that
case, and the necessity and fairness and
justice of such a decision are too ap-
parent to require any comment from
me. 1t follows, from the foregoing
views, that the petitioner, B. N.
Bugbey, is entitled to the relief prayed
for in his application, and it is so or
dered

A Paris correspondent has set the ru-

following poem by 7. ]. Schoonover was
read:
Sweet festal board with merry hearts and
And glad refrain, we mingle here to-
night;
Around Hdrs thy wealth of dainties' neatly
Our circle joins, its light and love to- shed.
Still be it ours, to meet in banquet hall,
Again to cherish, and to Irvine anew,

Sweet be the time, when friends and loved
ones meet,
When r;n mom faaf. speed on pleasures
Sweet be the time, the converse and the
smile,
That Danish care and all our fears be-
guile.
My rustic muse, at ease among the flow
OF fields uncultured and romantic bowers,
Has strung her harp. to grace the festal

power.
Where'er she wanders, or, wfnate'er her
strains;
If bold her number be or sweet refrains:
come with song and would commemor-
ate,
Her virtues whom we kindly emulate
How oft I've sung of those to me so dear,
To waken pleasure or to dry a tear;
To twine wreath for them my joy shall

# love and song be all the store I bring.
I'll take my lutte and sing, and sing, and

You then may learn how much your
minstrel loved you.
In high esteem of her distinguished worth,
We come tonight to honor Ada's birth;
Delighted! each to bear in this a part,
Has brought flower that blossoms in
TIE heart.
With joy aglow, enriched with noble
Affections flow, in one unbroken tide;
Delightful CURRENT while we feel its

'Tis not the sweets that deck the festal
board
Nor beaded nectar, darling ones have
Nor garlands graced with rich exotic
gem,
That largest live in social diaderns.
Delicious sweet, inspire sacred joy,
When loved ones meet and where no ills
alloy;
When each can feel and bear a brother
part,
And pleasures ripple on from heart to
heart.
When to a breast the woes of life have
fled,
Come voices soft, the soul of love to shed ;
Or grief is lifted from an aching heart,
By one who, lovingly, assumes a part.
When those who weep behold a weeping
Or gather smiles, to check a rising sigh;
When some dear friend, most tenderly
adored,
Reported lost, has been again restored.
Or when we feel that in some gentle
breast,
Kind thoughts of us find welcome. home
and rest:
There is a bliss of sweetness unsurpassed;
Too tender-lovely-delic to last
IT'S not the blush that points the op'ning
rose;
IT'S not the tints that deck the lily fair;
IT'S not perfume that Eden blooms dis
close,
Nor ali the gems of ocean, earth or air.
That bring to us the purest cup of bliss;
But what surpasses all, by far, is this:
A consciousness of acting we'll our part,
And giving truth dominion Ger the heart.

Conditions In Amador.

Marsden Manson Of the Bureau OF
Highways, has just returned from a
visit to Amador County, where he
helped the county authorities to make
plans for improving the roads
Il found the county roads in bad

owing to the great depth of the mud
which the rain had made of the sum-

Dr. Manson also examined the water
supply of the School of Industry at

gets water from springs believed to
be contaminated, and it is proposed to
construct a system by which to strike
deep wells or tap a higher fountain

AN ATTEMPT TO SWIHDLE.
"reminiscences Of An Augusta Lawyer OF One o.
His Cases.

A prominent Augusta lawyer told
story recently of a swindle in which he
was once a party, though unknowing-
~ 1t seems that the lawyer was
called upon by a German, who SAID ne
was visiting in America and had lost'a
piece of baggage on the Maine Central,
of which he thought a great deal. II
was not the value, he said, but 1t was
the things it contained that he wanted.
He gave the lawyer a brass check and
told him to proceed against the road,
threatening suit if the baggage was not
found.
The lawyer wrote to the company,
giving the number of the check. and
telling that he should bring suit at
once if the travelling bag was not
found. The railroad wrote back ask
ing him to defer suit, as they were al
ready searching for the baggage, and
had a tracer on the road. The tracer
worked for several weeks all over the
Maine Central system, but nowhere
was the baggage to be found.
1t was given up by the railroad con-
Germ. and they asked for what the man
would settle. When the thing came to
the conference between the lawyer
sent by the company to confer with the
Augusta attorney, the visiting man Of
law said he would like to postpone the
settlement a few days. The result was
that the railroad sent word that they
should let the case come to trial.
The day of the trial arrived and the
German friend was not TO be seen.
The Augusta attorney could not eX
plain it until informed that the whole
affair was swindle. The check had
two holes for straps in it instead Of
one. showing that the check in ques
ton was trunk check, and had been
cut from a trunk The checks that are
given the baggage owners have but
one hole for the strap.
The chagrin Of the Augusta lawyer
can be imagined, and he found the
German had started for the Mooschead
region. The foreign gentleman was
intercepted and had to settle for his
little attempt to swindle.

An Engines Ledger Account.

Did you ever hear of the method of
keeping cash account with every en-
gine on the railroads." asked bust
ness man, the other day.
All said at once they had never heard
OF the custom but would like to hear
about it, and the man proceeded:
Every engine is treated as an in
dividual in the accounts of the rail-
road companies, and each engine has a
debit and a credit account. When the
engine is bought, it is charged with the
sum of money it cost and after that
time every little repair. every pint Of
OIL, every particle Of waste and coal. in
fact everything that is the equivilent
OF money, is charged to it. On the
other side of the ledger is credited. the
number of miles the engine is used 50

c!ats can tell TO the fraction of a cent
which engine has done the work the
cheapest, ana which has travelled the
most miles,
