Kretcher VS.. O'Brlen and Blower.

The case of Chas. Kretcher versus
Jas. O'Brien and John Blower was
tried in the superior court last Mon
day. VIM. J. McGee appeared for
plaintiff, and C. E. Peters, district at
torney of Ell Dorado county, and Chas.
Crocker for defendant O'Brien; de-
fendant Blower disclaimed any interest
in the controversy. Plaintiff averred
in his complaint that he had pending
in the U. S. land Office at Sacramento,
an application for a mineral patent to
the Golden Gate mine, five miles north
of Plymouth, and that O'Brien had
pending an application for the same
land as agricultural land; that they
agreed that O'Brien should withdraw
his application, and when patent issued
Ktetcher would deed O'Brien Il portion
of the surface; that as security for
Kretcher's promise he would sign a
deed of 100 acres of land he owned in
Ell Dorado county to O'Brien, and place
the same in escrow with John Blower,
with instructions to Blower to deliver
the same if Kretcher failed to keep his
contract; that after the patent issued
Kretcher rendered O'Brien the deed to
the surface ground, but o. 'Brien re-
fused to accept the same, and claimed
the deed should convey to him not
only the surface but all mineral and
veins except the Golden Gate lode.
Plaintiff and John Brown testified in
favor of plaintiffs contention, where
upon defendants said they would con-
sent to judgment against them without
costs if George Kretcher, a brother of
plaintiff, would sign the deed to the
surface. This offer was promptly ac-
cepted by plaintiffs counsel, and judg-
ment entered accordingly.

failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutions

Tammany Organization followed, each taking
the Low side.
District Attorney Jerome's name was not
mentioned. although there a good deal Of
talk yesterday about the possibility of his being
selected.
Mr.. Cutting said that in all likelihood the man,
ing of the candidates this year would not be
referred to a subcommittee. but would be done
by the conference as a body.
The meeting was adjourned TO meet again
one week from last night. at which time. Mr.
Cutting believes. the business before the con-
ference committees will be wound up.
DISCUSSION OF THE CAMPAIGN.
When asked whether any names had been men,
toned in connection with any of the places on
the fusion ticket in the coming campaign Mr..
Cutting said that he did not care TO discuss

had been given over almost entirely TO general
discussion OF the coming campaign.
It was known before the meeting that Will

Democracy forces. would make speech repeat
should receive the nomination for Mayor. While
the meeting was in session those the outside
could hear Mr. Russell speaking and when he
had finished loud applause could be heard Mr.
Cutting was asked to the significance Of this
outburst. but beyond admitting that Mr. Rus
sell had voiced the sentiments Of the Greater
New-York Democracy. he would not discuss the
matter
The conference decided to include the Order
of AcOrns among the constituent fusion forces
and their representatives were admitted last
night
Following the general discussion. a motion
was adopted pledging all present to secrecy. As
soon as the conferrees got outside they followed
the time honored custom Of telling their trusted
friends. who wanted TO know what had hap
pened. All the narratives of what had hap
pened agreed in the important particulars.
Borough President Cantor said that the drift

Jacob Bremen. of Brooklyn. said: 1T certain
ly looks like Low again Why shouldn't il?
Low suits Brooklyn first rate, and his plurality
there will be larger than it two years ago.

timent at the meeting last night indicated that
Mayor Low would be renominated. His views
were Endorsed by William H. Ten Eyck and
