WIFE HAS HIS LEGS.
They Are Wooden and Beaucroft VIII
Sue for Them.

Wheeling. W. Va, May Pa unique
suit is about to be instituted in one OF
the local tribunals. The parties to the
controversy are Mr.. and Mrs. George
Beaucroft. the latter now residing on
the south side, while her husband is IN

Beaucroft.
Since going to the Smoky City Beau
croft has written repeatedly for the
legs, finally becoming convinced that
his wife does not intend to send them
to him. His father, Charles Beaucroft,
Sr., of West Liberty. called on Justice
Anderson for the purpose of getting
out the necessary papers to remove the
legs from the premises Of Mrs. Beau
croft, but was informed that he had no
power to act other than as an agent
for his son. He was advised to call
on his daughter.in-law and make the
necessary demand, and If she then re-
fused TO turn over the property forci-
bic action could be taken through due
process of law. A visit to the home
Of Mrs Beaucroft did not result in a
satisfactory settlement. 1t is under
stood, and suit will be instituted for

San Francisco, May 26.-William
Stephens, who lived at Ross Valley,
Marion county, murdered his wife,
shot his five children and killed him

Three Governors in "a hours is the
record of Colorado. OF course it is no
question but that Adams was elected by
at least 5000 after all irregular votes
were cast aside or thrown out. But
that was not enough, the republican
leaders goaded by the corruption was at
last forced to take just the step to de-
prive Adams of the seat to which he was
honestly elected. The republican party
dare not attempt to foist Peabody upon
the people for another term. Therefore
with the pledge that he would immedi-
ately resign, he was seated and when
he resigned Mcdonald was ushered in
as Governor. Many people claim that
Adams should have held the position
as governor even at the bayonet. if
necessary. We think it best to suffer
while evils are siderable, rather than
to hold Office bv military power. Had
the republicans made success in kill
ling and deporting miners the same
Ischeme nodoubt would have been tried
in other localities. But since the peo-
pie defeated Peabody, running him be.
hind his ticket some 30, 900 votes it is
discouraging to the deporting crowd

CORPORATIONS OWN THEM.

The Chicago Tribune, that half a
century republican newspaper, explains
why no positive action can be had in
the United States senate in favor of
railroad rates legislation or against the
trusts which are now ruling and rob-
bling the people. Summed up by the
Tribune upon it's statement Of facts lit
;svery plain: That large number of
the leading republican senators are
personally and peculiarly interested in
railroad and other trusts and combines.
The rule in all honest Legislative
bodies is that no member shall vote
upon asquestion which involved his own
personal pecuniary interest. We're his
rule enforced in the United States sen
ate, "the greatest deliberate body in the
world" there would be less than a
quorum to vote upon any matter relat-
ing to railroads and trusts. This is a
hard charge to make, and yet the facts
will prove it to be true. Many of these
senators are the mere creatures fof
railroad and other corporations. These
corporations elected them to the senate
and demanded their service when
needed.

ACTION IS URGED ON
FRANCHISE PETITION
Officials of Ocean Shore Rail
way Company Will Consult
With City Engineer.

The officials of the Ocean Shore Rail-
way Company appeared before the Su-
pervisors' Street Committee yesterday to
urge immediate action on it's petition for
a fifty years franchise to operate a rail-
road in the Sunset and Richmond dis
tricts to connect with the main line CEN
tering at Army and Illinois streets. AS
there was no quorum present no action
was taken, but the officials were advised
to arrange a conference with their en-
gineers and the City Engineer for the
purpose of settling upon the preliminary
street surveys and aliGnments on the
proposed route. The committee will con-
slider the petition at next Wednesday s
meeting The company has already ap-
piled to the City Engineer for map OF
the various official street lines.
The committee postponed for one week
consideration of the offer of the Mer-
chants Cold Storage and Ice Company
to furnish 100000 gallons of salt water
daily for sprinkling the public streets.
1t is planned to secure from the United
Railroads. one or two sprinkling cars after
the necessary pipe connections are made.
Superintendent of Street Sweepers Cow
den requested the committee not TO take
any money away from the street sweep
ing fund for the purpose Cowden said
that the appropriation of S2l5,OO0 was
barely sufficient to sweep the streets
properly and that only twenty-five sweep
ers are at work this month supervisor
Boxton suggested that the use of the
salt water would result in Saving OF
$500 monthly now paid to the Spring
Valley Water Company for fresh water.
In all likelihood the offer will be ac-
cepted. Tirey L. Ford informed the COM
mittee that the United Railroads uses
sprinkling cars on the San Mateo road
at present and has no other cars for the
purpose

HOLDS LIEN LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Superior Judge Seawell
Hands Down Import
ant Decision.

An opinion Of Importance to material
men, contractors and mechanics was
handed down yesterday by Judge Seawell
in the suit of Jocelyn against Arnold, in
volving the question of lien growing out
of the abandonment by Williams Bros,
contractors, of work on the home of
Robert Oxnard on Broadway. near Bu-
chanan street. Judge Seawell goes fully
into the lien law of the State and con-
cludes with the opinion that section 1900
of the Code of Civil Procedure is uncon-
stitutional.
At the time of the abandonment of the
work by Williams Bros, Mr.. Oxnard had
paid $3.50 on the total contract price.
SIC ,270. Immediately thereafter liens
against the building were filed, aggregat-
ing in all $4,000. Mr.. Oxnard then fin
ished the building, depositIng with the
court 1856 Is, the difference between the
actual cost and the contract price. The
case then went to trial
The code section Judge Seawell holds
unconstitutional provides that when a
contractor fails to complete or abandons
his contract before completion the por-
ton of the contract price applicable to
the liens of others than the contractor
shall be fixed by deducting from the value
of the work done and materials delivered
on the ground the sum of money paid
and. actually due al the time of aban-
donment-the materials on the ground
thenceforth to be the property of the
owner.
The court holds that the contentious of
Mr.. Oxnard should be sustained. and in
passing upon section 1900 asserts that it's
language is uncertain anu difficult to in
terpret; that an abandoned, uncompleted
building is not worth its proportion of the
total contract price; that the owner
should not be obliged to accept the mate
rials delivered on the ground, and,
finally, that the sum to which the mate
rial men and mechanics should be limited
is to be obtained by deducting the reas-
enable cost of the building from the con-
tract price, the owner having the privi-
lege of completing the building himself.
The theory of this is that the owner
should not be called upon TO pay more
than the original contract price for his
building.
Under this decision the court held that
lien-holders were limited in their recovery
