In the progress Of time and events, the nations

we have, in large degree conquered time and dis

GIRL AWARDED
HEAVY DAMAGES
Gertrude Johnson Wins
Suit Against the
Railroad.
Delmas Gets a Verdict for
$11, 900 as Compensation
for His Client.
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,

LIS bTOduWdy, sept. L.
A jury this afternoon gave Gertrude
Johnson a verdict for $1,000 against the
Southern Pacific Company for damages
she received In being thrown off a train
near Niles station. The girl claimed that
the brakeman had gone through the train
and called out that the next station would
be Niles and when the train came to
standstill she took her basket and was
about to alight, when 1t suddenly started
again and she was thrown on to pile of
ties. Her skull was fractured and her
arm broken
Her injuries necessitated the removed of
a piece of skull 2x3 inches, over which
there is now no protection but the skin
and SCALP. The defense tried to show
that in the case of a 16-year-old girl, as
/ the plaintiff Is, she would entirely recover
from the effects of such a wound and that
1T was through her own carelessness that
she was hurt
The trial has been a hard fought one.
Matched against each other were D. NJ.
Delmas for the girl and A. A. Moore for
the railroad. Both attorneys had assist
ance, but these two carried on the fight.
Every point was challenged and every
piece of evidence scrutinized before 1t was
! allowed to go to the jury.
Yesterday all the testimony had been
taken ana this morning the arguments
began. After some preliminary skirmish-
ing between the attorneys ii was agreed
that the arguments should be limited to
three hours to be divided between them.
Delmas opened the case with hours
: argument and then gave way to Moore,
who talked an hour and a half when
Delmas closed with speech half an hour
! in length. The jury out but a short
time. With the exception of one man
they were unanimous in the granting of
the verdict as rendered
The jury which tried the case was COM
posed of ex-senator NJ w Dixon Gore
! mann, Carl Berlin. w. z. Acheson. E. X
Waterman, c. H Cole. E. ]. Blanding,
II. tum SUDDEN, r. H. Casterson, W. d.
Thomas, NJ. Y. Smith. A. A. Demars and
c. b. Rice. Acheson stood out for the de-
I Tense, and when the jury polled
dict.
The arguments were mastery efforts.
Delmas made the most of the fact that
his client was a young girl with her life
spreading out before her and that this in
jury might develop at any time in the fu-
ture.
Moore took rule and map and with the
evidence he introduced tried to show that
I the accident could not have happened as
the girl stated. He endeavored to show
that she was attempting to get off the
moving train while 1t was in motion in
order to save walk of several blocks. A
twenty days stay of execution was asked
for the company and the time was
granted.

Cotton Bale of 1879.

1.-THE Brown cotton corner" says a New
Orleans man, is taking a great deal OF
queer cotton to New Orleans. The staple
has become so valuable that the owners
of cotton gins are scraping the floors
and have made up several bales of waste
cotton. Perhaps the most extraordinary
bale. however. is one that arrived there
from Georgia. 1t was of the crop of 1872
and is consequently 81 years old. Its
owner held out for Is cents that year,
hut when the market broke and cotton
went down he swore he would never sell
ii for less than 16 cents.
when cotton went up to IA cents in
New Orleans he shipped it there, to be
ready for the 16 cents he pledged himself
to. with orders to his agent to sell when
ever that figure was reached. The cotton
has been stored in one room for thirty
one years, and is thoroughly dried out. II
lost fifty pounds in the process. Experts
declare the staple to be as good as ever. y

AMERICAN INVESTMENTS
IN MEXICO VERY LARGE
Not So Much European Capital In
terested as Generally
SuDnosed

When United States Consul General
Barlow reported to the Washington Gov
eminent that s5OO0OO,00O of American
money was invested here. local critics
raised the objection that in reality this
was in great part British capital, and
that the Americans were only figure
heads in enterprises really owned across
the Atlantic
If this were so, why do we find the Lon
don Statist. in its last issue to hand. say
ing that the measures for stabilizing the
peso here do not much concern US p
And the London paper continues: "Our
Government naturally will cooperate with
the United States Government as far as
it possibly can do this as in other mat
ters; but its interest in the question. ex-
cepting so far as We all desire to aid the
United States where We can, is but small.
The proposed change in China is different
That is a matter in which British inter
ests are largely concerned-quite as much
concerned, evidently as American inter-
ests."
The Statist is a we'll informed journal
on British investments abroad and surely
1t would know If American investments
here were but another name for large
placements of British capital. To Mexico
it matters little whence comes the money
required for the development of her i'm
mense resources, although 1t is to be said
that the active PARTICIPATION of Ameri-
cans In business undertakings here tends
to keep the two countries in close and
friendly relations.
Within the past fortnight heavy invest
ments of American capital have been
made in Mexican mines investments of
really great sums of money. and though
in one deal London is supposed to have
an interest the greater part of the funds
employed have been raised in New York
and other American cities.-Mexican

CHEATS GALLONS
Of THEIR PREY
Walkirez's Neck Saved
by One Dissenting
Voice.
Jury's Verdict Is Guilty, but
Life Imprisonment Is
Recommended.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

I1le broadway, Sept. II.
Victor Walkirez, the murderer of aged
Elizabeth Leroy, escaped the extreme
penalty of the law by the verdict brought
in by jury tonight. One man saved the
negro's neck for him. When the verdict
was read it was discovered that the jury
had fixed his punishment at life irnprison-
ment. Sentence will be pronounced upon
Walkirez next Tuesday at 10 a. M
The jury went out shortly before 5, re-
turning at S o'clock. The members agreed
upon verdict In very short time, but
Judge and attorneys had gone to their
dinners and it was some time before they
returned. When the jury filed in the fol-
lowing men answered before announcing
the verdict: William Berry, Patrick Car
roll j. F. A. Schnoor, William H Rouse
Reuben Wand. John H. Troy, S. L. Pot
ter, Emil Kirchon, Charles NJ Cornell,
Nelson Provost, w. Thornally and
Thomas Z. Mcclure. Troy voted not
guilty on the first ballot, but after some
argument imprisonment for life was
agreed uDon instead Of the death penalty
favored by most of the jurors.
Attorneys on both sides of the case eX-
pressed themselves satisfied with the re-
suit District Attorney Allen and Dep
uty District Attorney Philip NJ. Walsh
said the conviction of the man satisfied
them, while Attorneys Frank Herald and
Thomas Pearson both thought they had
won a victory in saving their clients life.
While Walkirez was waiting for the YER
dict he was perceptibly nervous. He kept
his feet going and drummed with his fin
gers He lit a cigarette, but threw 1t
away before he had smoked half of 1t. A
smile of relief came over him when 1t
was announced that he could still live.
The trial of the case has lasted for two
weeks The jurors said that three ballots
were taken. The first one was to deter
mine his guilt and eleven stood for convic-
ton and one for acquittal. A second was
taken with the same result and then 1t
was found out whose was the dissenting
vote Troy expressed his belief that
WallIirez was insane at the time he COM
mitted the deed. Arguments were used
to dissuade him from the stand he had
taken and one two determined ones an
nounced their intention of staying there
three weeks before they would agree TO
anything less than Imprisonment Tor life
A third ballot was then taken and a
unanimous verdict fixing the penalty was
agreed upon.
