A short time ago the Supreme Court
decided a law point against Ebenezer
S. Sparks and s. II. Richards, execu-
tors of Thomas ). Weatherby's estate.
Several of the farms against which
creditors of Mr.. Weatherby held mort
cages did not bring the amount of the
mortgage at public vendue. Thomas
W. Weatherby nephew If Thomas S.
Weatherby, held a mortgage against a
farm which he bid in at less than the a.
mount OF the mortgage and then brought
suit for the balance on the bond. The
court decided that he had Il legal right
TO put in his claim against the balance
of the estate. The executors could
have paid every dollar of Mr.. Weather
by's obligations if the mortgage holders
had been obliged to take the land for
their claims, but as the Court has deci-
ded they can go beyond on the bond
they will not be able TO pay dollar for

A Trip to California.
Continued from last week

Los Angeles, Cal. June IS, 1899.
AT SIS May -, we stopped at Nj.
agara Falls, Canada, for breakfast.
AS We had only ifteen minutes We had
to eat and run AT $50, when we left
it was raining very hard but it s0on
cleared off. Canada is a very beautiful
country at this time. Looking out of
the car window on one side were vast
fields of wheat and large fruit orchards,
with the trees all in bloom; on the 9TH
Ell side could be seen large hills, all
covered with green grass and wild flow
els which made a magnificent scene and
a picturesque country.
AT 12.45 p. m. we entered the great
tunnel on the Canadian side which runs
under the st. Clair liver. It's l, miles
long and when we arrived on the U. s
side it was only 11.45 a. m. There is
about 40 feet of water over this tunnel,
The ST. Clair river is the only way of
transportation by water northeast to
Chicago. More tons of freight are
carried over this tunnel by boats than
there is from New York City 10 Europe.
At moor we are leaving PIT. Huron
and speeding over the level State of
Michigan. There is nothing different
to see from what | have already seen,
except that the farmers take great
pride in building fine houses and barns.
Their barns are as pretty as the pref
test house in PENIS Grove. The coln-
try is level and easily titled. There are
some very BEAUTIFULLY farms along the
route,
At7p. III. we are rolling along the
shore of Lake Michigan. To look out
on the Lake appears like looking out OH
the ocean. At $40 p. m. we arrived at
the great depot in the Windy City,
Chicago. From there we take the trans.
! fer to the Union Depot. After getting
my baggage taken care of L found
would have to wait until 1l,30, so ]
went around to see the sights.
The first thing | bumped uito was q
fellow wanting money to get something
to eat. There are more people travel
ing on the main street of Chicago al
hours of the night than there are il
| Philadelphia in the busy part of the
day. People are on the owe all the
time night and day, Sundays and Mon
! DAYS. BY 10. 30 | got quite tired ant
went back to my sleeper. Just as l go'
to my car a nice young English las!
came in. | heard her tell the porte
she was going to Denver and as we wer'
the only two in the car ! soon made he
acquaintance.
