S.V 80 Caledonia, li 6'k1 Pafci Judge McKee received nearly an unanimous Tote in Alameda county, the banner Republican county of the State, he was, for the first time, unsuccessful. In 1879 Judge McKee was elected to the Supreme Court, and held the office until January 1st of the present year, when his term expired, and he -was not renominated. Shortly after tlis expiration of his term i as "Supreme Judge, he formed partnership with Ma eon, Sam McK.ee with officres located in Han Francisco and Oakland, and with a practice at once lucrative and impor-tnut in its legal bearing and character. It is rather a singular circumstance that Judge McKee's death should haye occurred almost simultaneously with that of Chiet Justice Morrison, the coincidence being heightened by the fact that uage McKee was in all probability to have been Judge Morrison's successor. 1 he death of Judge Morrison occurred i Wednesday morning at 9:50 o'clock, and Judge McKee passed away thirteen 'The ui.A tad Cv: Eto the -rr-ive-t ind lun -s.

Ayer St Co. Sold by an EeViral of Eeports of Sale of Road. 'A -I The Chicago, Burlinerton, and Qnincy, Kow Said to Be the Purchasers. Reports have been received of the sale of Senator Fair's railroad property, including the South Pacific Coast Kail-road. It is generally believed that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company has purchased all of Senator Fair's railroad interests and made other railroad investments in this State.

For six months past the Chicago, Burlington and (jnincy has had a corps of surveyors and right of way agents in this State, and last Thursday the last of them went back to headquarters. One of them stated that they had reported to the company two feasible-routes into an Francisco. One by what is known as the Goose Lake route, which would involve the purchase of the Donahue line, the other coming up. the lower coast over the South Pacific Coast Railroad. The advantage of the latter route was that Fair's road is in the market, and can be bought for bonds, while the Donahue people would net listen to any but a spot cash proposition.

He said that the purchase of Fair's road had been decided upon, and that negotiations were about concluded in the East with Fair and Davis. The Mission Street Railroad had been boueht by the same company, to give them a San Francisco extension to the ferry system. The enterprise on the part of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy is due, in a measure, to the recent determination of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe to build into I Chicago territory. i For this 1 purpose they had filled a call for $13,000,000 of bonds to build a road from Kansas City to Chicago, and intend to make a call" for in a few weeks. This move determined the C.

B. and O. to push their plan for a 'through line to San Francisco as quickly as possible. When they got into the field, they found that tne act of Congress creating the Central Pacific and Other lines gave them sole right to the right of way for a distance of forty miles in breadth clean across the State, and left but few routes open to competing lines. Senator Fair Is not here, and his clerks are not in his confidence, and can tell nothing about the sale of the rpad.

It ie a truism that the first floor lodg-tn ot an hotel never know tow the sixth- floor lives. ThiaVC 'ct iat nas iDeen exemplified by a rfe.cTnt raId at PaIac Hotel, San FTanris4 in hich Pr- Charles G. Toland waa U- assailant, am A. T. Curry, the elerav01" tnjm, was the victim.

It is a rule of the bohLse- mat no packages shall be carried to ti.e upper doors on the elevator. This rulo is a source of great inconvenience to the sixth fior lodgers, many of whom are attempting to live on the French bohemian plan. 1 They have aristocratic notions; and think that a residence the Palace gives them a high tonei in society the haul tottlof the sixth floor, as it were. 1 I But this pride of comparative poverty must be practiced with economy. Hence the bohemian shifts, the light housekeeping' of the sixth floor the oil stove, the naif dozen eggs concealed in the lewer drawer of the bureau, the half of a ham lying perdue i the closet, the pepper and salt fraternizing with the box of face powder and the rouge pot, the fragment of; a butter roll under the bed, the loaf of "milk" bread in the bottom of the chiffonier.

All this provender must be carried in homeopathic packages to the sixth floor. It would shock the bon ton of the lower floor if the butcher, the bakeii and the grocery in an were observed tilling orders" in the Palace. Consequently the bohemian of the sixth floor "pack their own pro visions. The elevator has been extensively used by them, for it is a long and wearisome climb up the stairs. Besides, they do not wish to expose themselves by leaving their ham and eggs, and steaks, and little sacks of salt at the othoe.

i It was the 'refusal of Curry to allow some of Dr. Toland 's packages passage on tne elevator tnat caused tne row. The doctor: hlaid for" the elevator man, "and he Went for him therend then." f. I Hecaueht him "in the door" literally. and pommeled, him most grievously, at a disadvantage, for Curry was com pelled to hang to the valve rods to avoid being crushed 1UD consequence was a pair 01 oiacK eyes and tne loss or a handful of whiskers.

Toland's excuse for his conduct is that he was drunken with morphine 1 His recollection of the anair is buz "a fading dream. xie is sorry- He will repair the wrone! He will evenieave the hotel if neces sary. I But the sixth floor lodger proceeds with bis light housekeeping as if nothing had happened. 1 He carefully- removes the crumbs from the carpet and receives his visitors as usuaL He is compelled to smuggle his grub up stairs, though, and he does not Aike this. 1 The masculine pronoun has been used throughout this little story of Paace Hotel Bohemiji simply as a matter of convenience, i i The feminine pronoun would have ffmveved the facts more truthfully.

Argument in the Todd Will Contest. Reference to an Unseen Power Judge Gibson's Beminia-) cenee of a Song. At the press time of.Tnx Tribitsb yesterday Judge Ladd was arguing for the proponent in the contest to the admission to probate of a document alleged to be the last will, of the late J. M. Todd.

He Remarked that the indictment of witnesses in the case dur ing the progress of the trial was unusual and wrong, i I The interposed that judge had no authority in any way to interfere with the action of the Grand Jury. In particular in this case the court knew nothing! of the action of the Grand Jury until it was made Public. Indictment need not and does not influence the court hi any way in this case. Judge Ladd resumed I must pay a tribute to the court for the many: cour tesies 1 have received, and state that I have rarely met with sounder rulings. Letl the court sternly avoid the influ ence of the misrepresentations of the case for the contestants.

This case did notjgo to the Grand Jury through nat- ural channels, but was thrust upon them in persecution of the proponent. VY complain ot. is tne Dad laitn oi thebther side. It looks to me that there is something rotten. It looks to me that some one not in sight is managing secijetly this matter.

Snyder's testimony shows this plainly I assert that our client was locked up with the vievir of preventing him from gathering his Witnesses, i Does counsel hold us responsible for the fact that a witness took the stand in a half drunken condition? We knew nothing about it until we saw him on the stand. While I iiiay err in statements, as may happen to any one in a long case, yet let the court be sure that no such error is in-tentjional, and I crave the court to correct! such errors that 1 'may fall into. Keiharks I may make are not to be thought to apply to counsel on the other side, whom I admire and respect. and! shall always be pleased to meet again in opposition to me. i 1 It) is important to note wno are pros ecuting this case.

It is only nominally prosecuted by Mrs. Todd. It has been iroiii tne start prosecuted by A MB. SSYDEB AND HARRY MORSE, Who have each witnesses called by the nominal contestant. Mrs.

Tod 1 has been in the courtroom but has iisplayed no lively interest in the casd in which she 1 appears to have so imicjh at stake, while these two men are Constantly at the elbow of counsel prompting him at every Snyder has bo me interest, in this case; what this interest may be, or what the motive we can only infer; but we know that'hecau not be considered impartial. Look now at the face- of the will. Testimony shows plainly that it was drawn by Peter Hood, by peter Black Hood, to adopt the unprofessional sneer which counsel ha-nised throughout this case. Mr. Hood 'i testimony has been contradicted in no particular.

The word was written by him and the scroll about it was undoubtedly put there at tne same time and by him. It has been shown that Mr. Todd called at the office where he found Hood with the purpose of petting Mr. Clyde to draw the will. MrL Clydfe was a gentleman j0 years of- ase.

of respectable appearance and of large practice about the Probate Court. He did not charge large fees, and Mr. Todd was 'not a man that paid larsre fees. It was most natural that he should go to a man like Clvde. Not finding Clyde in he allowed Hood to draw the instru ment.

It was shown that J. M.Todd was in the habit of drawing for himself such leases, bonds, andother minor legal papers as ne niumt need. Hut the will is another affair. It is anaffair of importance, apaper disposing ot ft large property and destined to come- mto enect at a time when he himself could not explain his He naturally distrusted his ability to draw such an instrument, and sought legal aaviee. i The dliestion now arises, Was the man who gave Hood his name as onn Morton Tcdjl.

and who took away tHe draft of the will really John Morton Todd? On this point Hood i testimony is clear. there is no man wno would nave anv interest in personating M. Todd but w. Ji. load.

At tne: tiiiie tlie will was shown to have been Written Waller B. Todd was away land had been for several years. Is it likely that any one would have gotten up such a not knowing but that Todd might live twenty I year3, and having no I interest in the bequests? jnow as to: the middle name, Morton, siened to' the will. I It is clear that M. Todd did not on other papers vrite this name in full.

I But all such papers were to take immediate effect, and any mistake could be easily and at once rectified. The' will, however, would nob be discussed until it was too late to settle such matters of identity. If any one were to attempt to i KOBOK THE WILL It would be absurd for him to attempt to write the middle! name in full, and jin fact an impossibility. The next point on' the face of the will that arises for consideration is the mat ter of Milbury, named as executor and attesting witness. la the body of the instrument where he is named as exec-iutor his name is given Samuel Mill-berry, but his own signature is S.

Mil-bury. This attests with vernowerinfr force the genuineness of the will pro posed. A larger or Jhe name ot Mil- bury would either have sinned as the name was spelt in the body ot the in strument, or would corrected ine error that place I I i rvow let us consider the circtitn- stances attending the of tnis will. it is i toutid among tiifj- papers or j. ii.

McGrew aa The Condition of kt Traary i of the Free Library At the close of the term of the present Board of Free Library Trustees, it would, perhaps, be well to note the condition of the finances of the treas ury oi the Free Library.

When the present board went into office the library was receiving what is known as a "2 cent levy," or, in other words, 2, cents on every 100 worth of taxable property in the city. This levy provided but a small income which hardly paid the running of the library and reading rooms, without providing any money for adding to the books or periodicals. This state of things did not last very long, for the board asked and obtained an increase in the next levy to 4 cents. The proceeds oi this levy, which becran to come into the Library fund last October, were about $12,000. The board immediately proceeded to apply this The library was in debt for want of funds to carry it on.

This indebtedness was soon paid off and a list of new books was ordered to the Value of $2000, something that had not! been done before tor many years, valuable works and' magazines were then re bound and put upon the I shelves. A new reading room was established in North: Oakland for the benefit of the residents of that sec tion, and last, bnt not least, a new list ot periodicals was ordered tor the reading rooms, and covers have been ordered for all the papers. All this work was done out of and still enough was left to run the library ana an me reaumg rooms unm next December and have a little surplus left in the treasury. But! the board was not going to leave Its work incomplete, and it obtained another cent levy irom tne VJity uouncu, which will enable the next board to im rch a se several thousand dollars worth of hew books in the coming year in ad dition to paying tne usual expenses ot the library and tne lour reading rooms. unnne tne past lew montns tne average running expenses of the library and reading rooms has been $700 a month, on account of the large amount of binding that has been done, but hereafter it wul not exceed $000 a month.

At the 1st of March there were 163 77 in the treasury, and Rt the March meetine bills to the amount of $fJ37 60 were audited, leaving $226 08 the treasury, i I his amount included the cost of fitting up the new North Oakland reading room. I The Iorth Oakland reading room has cost the city but $369 74. and will cost but 900 a month tor running exenses at the outside. ALMOST A FATAL FALL. John Logan's Narrow Escape Froiu Instant Death.

Lpon hearing the facts I Judge McKee refused to bold court! (In that district and without transacting any I business he adjourneil cciirt for the term. He madeaepeech from the bench, giving as his reason for hi action that he did not think he ought to hold court in a county where the di icrees and orders of theeourt and its processes could not be carried out.

The excitement in the county ran high, the action of the Judge being condemned by some and approved by others. For a time it looked as if there would be a local war, but Jludge McKea was calm and I resolute, and -ent around the cinjuit hold-imr court. This circumstance of Judge! McKee not holding court in Sahta Clara county was brought to thei attention of Governor Downey, and also the Legislature, which was then in session. -The Legislature took the matter tip, and a committee was appointed to visit San Jose and inquire into the matter, and report baek-to-the- legisiature the tacts line case. This jwasj done with i vipri to enforcing the judgment of the ffourt, and compelling the squatters to submit to the provisions of the writ in the hands of thefSheriff, even if it was necessary to obtain the' aid of the State militia.

During the visit of this committee the matter was finally settled amicably, nd the judgment of the court was enforced! without having to resort to the militid. For a time, during the excitement, jit seemed as if bloodshed was inevitable. The step which Jud ire McKee took in the matter was somewhatreriti- cised both by members of I the bar and tiie but the i position he had taken was generally approved.

Ercntt 1b the TweutyflTe Year 1 Beaca, Judge-McKee's political; career com menced in Alameda county in when he was elected County Judge. He was practicing law in this city; having an office on the lower part ofi Broadway.

Tn 1853, when the county was formed, Judge Crane was elected County Judge, and held that position until 1857, when he was succeeded by Judge McKee, who was elected on the Demo cratic ticket. In those days, and up to the time of the civil war, the1 county was overwhelmingly Democratic. Mc Kee neid court at the old Courthouse in San Leandro. There was only one County Judge in the county. His career; as County judge gave satisfaction to all.

i i In the fall of 1858 Judee McKee ap peared before the Democratic Convention of. the Third judicial district, composed of the counties of Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Crus. and Monterey, far the nomination of District Judsre. The office was then held by C. P.

Hester, Who had been appointed to the nosition by Governor McDougal in the place of John H. Watson, who resigned i-Therp "were three candidates before the con vention for the nomination, S. B. McKeei W. T.

Wallace, who was after ward Chief Justice of the Supreme Court 'and Lawrence Archer, an eminent lawver of Santa Clara cotintv. who still resides there. Judge 'McKee Te-ceived the nomination after a close vote, and was elected to the position over C. P. Hester, who was a candidate for re-election.

The term of office of the District Judge was six years. He made a cirj-cuit through the counties comprising his district and held court in each. While in this office Judee McKee made himself, very popular by his just decisions. After he was elected he re signed his position as County Judge, and w. Ulascock was- appointed to the position by the Governor.

After serving one term he was again re-elected in 18t4i At this time Contra Costa: county i came into the district The election; in lsbi was very and the district was at -that time Republican. His opponent in! that! election was Judge Thomas A. Brown of Contra Costa, who was a very strong Union man. McKee carried the election by a very close vote, and held the office Of District Jndse until it was! abolished by the New Constitution. I when he was elected to the Supreme bench.

Judee W. H. Glascock in sneakinsr of Judge McKee. said that his decisions! were always considered j'ist and seldom questioned by members ofi the Notwithstanding the fact thattheThird juuiciai aiamct became seput-; ncan, Judge McKee always carried Aiameaa county in an election. PIGJfITT OH THE BKSCH.

Judge Redman, in speaking of Judge McKee, c.assed him as a conservative Democrat, and -said that-McKee was! a Clay Whig, and under the issclutam of that party he became a l.en:ocrat. Judge Kedniau savs he i.evcr heard Judee McKee 'a intesrits- questioned by any one. i Under Sheriff Harlow was Under Sheriff during a part of Judge McKee's administration as District Judge. I He. says that during the time that Judge McKee held court as District Judge at the new Courthouse he always: preserved the utmost decornm in his courtroom, but at the same time he always showed jcouriesr to anv person who had business in his court.

He was exceedingly dignified on the bench but wnen on tne street he would listen to the complaints of any one. He was a family nan, and when the court would adiourn he would alwavs turn home ward. He was a man who never lost his temper, and.would argue a question with any one. He was exceedimrlv careful not to offend any person: auu would always avoid excitement or a discussion. Mr.

Harlow says that when any lawyer would Taix a dispute after he had ruled on an4 objection, he wuuMi aimpiy sav, sit down, I have decided that point." In deciding a case he would alwavs review the circumstances as though reading from. a uuu. iijj must important delusions in this county were in land suits, which were numerous in those davs, commercial business being very light. I Judge Redman, in reviewing the incidents in Judge McKee's career, re lates that in those days there were a great many squatters in this district. "wing to the valuable agricultural lands wbuih abound.

The lands were owned under old Spanish grants, and in consequence' ofi the squatters claiming the land important were commenced. It: was this laisof business mainlv that Judge McKee attended to. Judge Redman says in lfto" he was interested in one of these suits, and he caine to Oakland to ee Judge McKee. He landed at the foot of Broadway and was told that edge McKee lived about a mile and a ballout of town. He reached: the bouse after traveling through a small desert.

Judge McKee has ever since resided at the same place. i THB MOST IMPORTANT DECISIOH.I Probably the most important decision rendered by Judge McKee during his administration as District Judge was given while he was holding court in Santa Clara county? The suit wai a large land case, in which the ownerf of a Spanish land grant sought to eject some Juatters who had taken up some land east-of San Jose. The squatters- were respectable but determined citizens and claimed the Spanish grant was a fraud, and they acquired Uieir ngni to tne land from the Government. The case was tried by Judge McKee, and lie rendered a decision in favor of the ilaintiifs. After the adjournment of tue court a writ of possession was and put in the Laaia oi 3,11 tc a.

Actual assessment of cty projierty will begin next Monday, the first Monday in March. The City Assessor, Joseph Dillon, pays that there: will be Mime changes in the valuation of city picperty this year, in his opinion, if the present Assessor is retained in office. Tbe assessment of one district will be and the assessment of two others will be increased. The first of increases will be along San Pablo avenue, where the value of property ill be raised about 20 per cent over the last assessment.

This property has been increasing in value steadily, land it will be raised on the Assessor's books about 1 per cent.
