91000 aid all this money will be collected The deceased was the owner of numerous fine horses and was In the breeding business for a time When be died It was found that he left a rather peculiar will The document had been written by himself and had been stowed away so that even his relatives did not know that he had dispose of his estate Talued at 272 470 by wilL Mr Hamilton failed to remember his widow in any substamal way and did not even recoR nize her neht to inherit any of the estate except as provided in the wilL The testator provided that his widow and ch 1 dren should enjoy the profi of

was always careful to keep them locked up when they were not in use bhe had a strong box for them where they were always kept during the absence of her husband Mr Hunt business calls him away from

them from her person and placed them In a portemo maie which sha was carrying in her hand When she arrived at the bouse she bad the diamonds in ber possession The portemonnaie was placed on a table in

clerk for Sanford and Belt clerk for Lay mance It was decided that the recount should commence at the tirst ward and then go right through the city After that the country precincts will be taken up It

Berkeley under its charter has two Justices of the Peace The practice since the organization of tbe town has been to select one from tbe west end and one from tbe east end For the first time tbe Justices elected this year are both real dents of East Berkeley and the question is raised which one shall hold his court in tbe otber section of town One of tbe pres en Justices holds over and would naturally succeed to fris own court but he really de feated the est Berkeley candidate his opponent in fast Berke ey having re ceived mucn the larger vote It is possi ble that there will be some contention over the matter and an appeal taken 10 the Board of Trustees for its decision borne discussion has arisen in conse uuence of the report that Professor Jones was to remove to ban Francisco He has been elected Trustee and must resile within the town to ho the office The report was not correct and arose from a confusion of names which Professor Moses was substitute 1 or the Jorme gen tieman There is treneral satisfaction at tl selection of Profesir Jones and strong pressure will be broueht to bear to have him retain the oTice wh ch he ac cepted in order to relieve Berkeley from

Strawberry creek The wooden bridges that have been spanning the creek at these streets have become dangerous to travel and it has been ought advisable to hive cement culverts constructed and the streets tilled in over them The cost will be about 1400 for each street and the burden will be distributed over a distance extending one blocs and a half on the south and three blocks on the north This will make the cost to property on the line of the work about 2o cents per front foot The improvement will add much to the value of the propertv is the present con dition of the streets at these

changes which will save the Mate an annual expend ture of about 2 000 000 In urs lai ce of th economical pol cy it is said that Bu I 1 is amious to abolish commissions and buieaus which he thinks are of very little service to the State Among the com missions likelv tobeabol shed is the State Board of Horticulture Its probable abolition has creited a great deal of un easiness LOST HIS LEG an attack upon his cellmates He bit one of the prisoners and inflicted a similar wound upon the arm of a trusty who undertook to remove him from the cell Sergeant Shields seized the crazy man and was bitten

people of the State on the relation of Sfade to lorfeit the franchise of the Wood Blade Thayer Lumber Companv sometimes known as the blade Lumber Com pany The defendants are the corpora tion and its directors Wood A Thayer Frederck Wood and Tvellogg Tbe directors are alleged to have conspire 1 together to defraud tbe plaifftifT of bis interest in the property of the corporation He says that Wood with the assistance and connivance of the other defen lams has made false and fraudulent entries in the books for the nnrpose making it appetr that the lumber company has legal ei stence as a corporation Bond of the Piedmont Line Inder the Hammer The Sheriff stood on the Courthouse steps yesterday offering for sale forty bonds of the Consolidated Piedmont Cable Company At first be found no takers at any price Toward the end Daniel Meyer the capitalist came to the front with a bid of 20 000 lor tbe bonds and they were knocked down to him The sale created somewhat of a surprise be cause it was an indication as to how the bonds stood on the market These bonds were originally worth 1000 apiece or a total of 40 000 Ihev were owned by Phoebe Blair and Montgomery and earn uel Howe The trio were pressed for money some two years ago so tbey went to Daniel Meyer and borrowed 30000 on I their promissory note giving the Doncis then valued at 40 000 a security When tbe bard times struck the Piedmont line tbe bonds shrunk in value The owners of tbe bonds did not care to redeem tum to Mr Meyer got a judgment against tbe trio for 32000 In order to get something on his judgment be was forced into the position yesterday of buying the bonds lor 30 00 The sale shows that the Pied mont bonds have dropped down 50 per cent in a couple of yean and are still going down Tbe road is in a very bad coadi tion at the present lime and it could not now ba sola to an advaulage The road is bonded for 1 000 000 so it is quite evident that some people are going to lose a small fortune on their bonds THE CONTEST TOR OFFICE Lymnee Is Staking Hard right to Unseat Sanford Tbe contest of Laymance against Sanford Pop to unseat the latter as County Treasurer was commenced in the Superior Court

Charles Hansen against the Southern lactic Company A jury in Judge lack court awarded Hansen as compensation for personal injuries 10 000 which the ra I road company must now pa Hansen was lnmrjd on Jane 20 lss at which time lie was but 7 years of age While walking along the railroad track at the crossing of Th rt eth sireet bis foot was cauent in a cattle gnsrd He was unable to extricate himself and a passing train of the railroad company ran over and crushed his left leg in such manner as tn require amputation borne novel points of law were raised on tbe trial of the damage suit It was urged that Hansen could not recover for the reason that he bad been a trespasser on tbe railroad con pany right of wav The evidence it was rtid failed to show that either tbe plaintiff or tbe public bad ever acquire i with the consent assent or permissioT of the railroad comjanv the right of user of the railro id as a wav for travel or as a playground or place of rendezvous for children rie compan also claimed in support of a motion for non suit that the att guar was of tlia most approved pattern and that there had been no proof of negligence on the part of the engineer in failing to stop the train The evidence disclosed the fict that the engineer used every possible efTort to stop the train after he Jiad dis covered that the boy was caught Counsel for the injured boy answered tb ese points of the railroad companv with a claim that Hansen could not have been a trespasser for the reason that the publ had been allowed to use the railroad ss a public thoroughfare for vesrs On this point Judpe Slack instructed the jurj in substance that if for more than twenty years the loens in quo had been used by tbe public as a foot path for travel with the knowledge of the railroad companv and without its protest or objection then the jury might infer that such use of tbe track and right of way was with the ac quiescence and permssion of the defend anl There was slso an instruction that if the jury found that tbe company did permit tbe piaintiti on us track then it was the dutv of the company to exer else reasonable care to see that the lad was not injutcd The Supreme Court holds that these instructions fairlv sltted the law and were in no wise objectionable For this reason the verdict of the jury is sustained A judgment for 18000 in favor of tbe heirs of William Pepper and
