Ia the Supreme Court Monday

 My Dear Sir and Brother: Gu. beloved state deputy, Brother George A. Connolly, is i'll, and I have been placed in charge of our relief organ ization during his indisposition. and beg to acknowledge with most cor dial appreciation your telegram of the 21st inst which has just been received by us.
 The calamity which has befallen us has left almost our entire mem bership in destitute condition and in need of every assistance that can possibly be rendered them. We thank God that the terrible visitation that has befallen us is almost entire ly confined to San Francisco, and our men are doing noble work and bear ing their own trials with a heroism that calls forth the admiration of everyone.
 We are amply supplied for the present with provisions, but the day is fast approaching when our sup plies will probably be cut off and will be required to be made by purchase. Therefore your remittance of funds is indeed most acceptable, and I beg to request if it is within your power that you endeavor to enlist further financial aid and assistance.
 Our beloved state deputy, George A. Connolly. has appointed com. mittee on finance composed of him self. Theodore Savage, grand knight of California council; ]. F.. McElroy, grand knight of Oakland council, and myself as grand knight of San Francisco council, and l am sure that it is not necessary for me to advise you that the funds received by us for the relief of those in distress will he husbanded and djsbursed only as ur- gent necessity requires for the relief of the immediate necessities of our brothers and their families.
 Again thanking you for your time- ly aid and assistance and trusting that you will endeavor to the utmost of your ability to secure for us fur ther relief, l am,
 Faithfully and fraternally yours,

 Attorney Wood. counsel for Thom- as l.. Atwood, against Alice Atwood, found himself about forty-eight hours too early. That is to say the case lacked that much time of the neces- sary ninety days it should be in court before it could be heard. Conse- quently 1t had to go over. Attorney Bauby then stepped up and began reading the complaint in the suit of Harriet L. Burns Fuller. colored, against Frederick R. Fuller. colored. After the attorney had read the paper the court remarked that he thought he was three days too soon, and upon calculating the time Mir Bauby found the joke was on him.
 The arguments in the Lathrop case will be made some time next week.
