WATER BOARD SPLITS
ON ELECTROLY YSIS
QUESTION
Division of Sentiment as to
POstponement of the Suit
Against the Street Railway
Company---Board Will Con-
slider the Matter at TOmOr-
rows Meeting.

A division is probable between the
members of the board of water COM
miss1oners over the application of the
st. Paul City Railway company for a
postponement of the 100000 elec-
trolysis damage suit brought against
1T by the board
One division, headed by Commits
s1oner DWyer, is unhesitatingly in fa-
vor Of the postponement, while the
other division; among which Is Com
missioner Grace, are as emphatically
opposed. The latter division raises the
point that the street car company is
simply "stringing" the board, leading
it on to believe that the nuisance COM
planned of will be abated and the board
compensated, while the former say
that in all fairness the postponement
should be granted, as by a former
agreement such was practically pro-
vided for.
The whole thing bitches over the
unWillingness of the street car COM
pany to pay the bill of expenses in
Cured since the stipulations between
the board and company were entered
into some months ago. Then the COM
pany, on a promise to abate the elec-
trolysis nuisance, secured a postpone

against it.

ever, was that should the companys s
expert and the boards expert fail to

called in, and then, if a disagreement
resulted, that the suit against the COM

The third party, however, was new

says that the board has not really lived
up to its part of the agreementy and,
besides, in all fairness, the company
should be given a chance to do what it

ENDS QUARREL AND
TRIES TO END LIFE
Domestic Troubles Drive Mrs.
Matte Cupp to Put Bullet
Through Her Breast.

After having quarrel with her hus-
band yesterday afternoon Mrs. Matte
Cupp, wife of J. Cupp, 120 South
Franklin street, took a revolver from
the dresser in the bedroom, then went
into the kitchen, where she pointed
the weapon at her right side, firing
shot which entered her chest, but
which glanced sideways and lodged
under her right arm.
In her agitation Mrs. Cupp pointed
the revolver at her right breast in
stead of her left, missing her heart
by at least eight inches.
She fell to the floor in a swoon but
was instantly picked up and placed up
on bed. DR.. Hall was summoned and
he located the bullet a short distance
below the skin under the right arm.
He extracted the lead and after ap-
plying restoratives pronounced Mrs.
Cupp out Of danger.
Mr.. Cupp had been spending much
of his time away from home lately and
when he appeared yesterday at noon
he was upbraided by his wife, and the
quarrel ensued. Mrs. Cupp has been
obliged to resort to washing to main
tain her home.

California Wealth.

The reports made by the savings banks
of San Francisco recently show deposits
of $156, ,817, ,637. This immense sum ex-
ceeds the record Of all former years, and
represents about $3.50 per capita. AS this
is more, than three times the average
savings bank deposit per capita for the
whole United States 1t is certainly a good
showing, nor is it confined to San Fran
cisco. The returns from the banks Of
the state, save national banks, show an
aggregate increase of assets for the year
of $55, ,376 024. This exceeds the highest
former record Of gain by $24,371, ,497, a
very satisfactory state of affairs
California is not simply land for the
tourist, but for the investor and the farm
er. Perhaps no other farmers enjoy
so large an income as California farmers.
A rate per cent on the investments that
would satisfy the Eastern farmer Is con-
sidered very meager here. Fruit farming
has always been profitable; fortunes have
been made in oranges, and the yield Of
alfalfa makes dairying a paying industry.
Land is lower in price than it will
ever be again. and rates from the East
over the Southern Pacific lines will be
reduced in August and October for the
G. A. r. convention and the Bankers Ma
tional convention in San Francisco, so
that it is a good time to see the state.

SEEK TO RECOVER LOTS
ON WEST SIDE LEVEE
Sanborns Claim Property Has Not Been
Used for Purpose Intended.

In the supreme court yesterday was
argued the case of John B. and Walter H.
Sanborn against Frank Van Duyne, do
ing business as the st. Paul Show Case
Manufacturing company, which is test
of the West Side levee leases.
The property in controversy on the west
bank of the river was owned by the
plaintiffs until 1882 and was then con-
demned by the city for levee purposes.
The city assessed damages and paid to
the plaintiffs the damages awarded upon
receipt from the plaintiffs of a convey
ance of the property. This conveyance
was as stated, "a perpetual easement for
the purposes of q levee.''
The property was never used for
levee and under act Of the legislature the
purpose of which was to confer upon the
city the right to lease the levee property,
this land was leased to the defendants in
June, 1892 This action, on the part of
the plaintiffs is to regain possession of
the property.

The Bunker Hill Day reception given
last night by the ST. Paul chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution,
Prouty, on Summit avenue, was one Of
the most brilliant social affairs in D.
A. r. circles given this year.
Every year 1t has been the custom
of the st. Paul chapter to celebrate
this day in some way, and heretofore
the celebration has been more in the
form of a programme followed by an
informal reception. But last night
the celebration was purely social Mrs.
Prouty was assisted in receiving the
daughters and their guests by Mrs.
w. M. Liggett state vice regent, and
Mrs. w. P. Jewett, vice president gen

He spoke particularly of the work
done by the society in preserving his
toric spots and keeping alive a pa
triotism, especially among children
Nearly all the. flags belonging to the
