PACIFIC GROVE, CAL., Sept. 12—The second day of the Methodist conference dawned upon a b ter sky and, as usual, religious work began early and continued until a late hour. Pra serv to 9, general business after 12. In the after- k the jubilee or sermon of the venera- of San Jose, the annual Women’s Foreign Mis- nning at 3 o’clock and ittees during the whole he evening the regular 30 until after 10 o’clock, by the Rev. Mr. Hayes of session from 9 v noon from fiftieth annive ble Dr. Brig of the of those who were not pres- erday showed the following addi- to the conference to-day : ntter Creek; J. R.

Wible, | 8. M. Woodward, Vallejo; F. R.| T, ia, Nev.; Sui Fong, Oakland; Tong Hay Lee, San Jose, and W. G. Trudgeon, Bloomfield. Part of the morning session was devoted to the examination of preachers’ charac- ters, only a small number of the whole delegation having been so far reported on, but no doubtful cases have been found. 1t is an annual custom. The name of each member of conference is called by the Bishop, who asks in open session, “Isthere anything against him?” Should there be ‘the slighte: of moral obliquity or ministerial delinguency his case is referred to an investigating com- mittee of ministers who report their recommendation to the conference. The most rigid examination always follows a suspicions respecting moral character. There is no chance for *‘whitewashing,’ any minister in good standing in the con- ference having the right to challenge the character of any minister; or any mem- i il First M. E. Church, Alameda, F. D. Bovard, D.D., Pastor. ber of the church or respectable citizen of the community may challenge for cause. The challenge does not necessarily con- cern moral conduct alone; it covers gen- eral efficiency, such as negligence in the ministry. The shirk is promptly reported on and “located,” or, as Methodists express it in England, given a “sit down,’ which means removal from the ranks of the itinerancy. But all ministers who ‘locate” or *‘sit down’’ are not necessarily delinquents. Any man may request to be “Jocated,” and in that case he is free to go and to preach wherever he likes. He is still a minister in good standing, but is not of the itinerancy and is not subject to the Bishop’s appointment. By far the greater part of the morning session, however, was given to the reading of detailed reports of the churches in the San Francisco and Sacramento districts by the presiding elders, Dr. John Coyle and A. T. Needham, respectively. The San Francisco district practically includes all the churches on the peninsula and as far south as Monterey. There are thirty-five parishes in all. Dr. Coyle stated that along the coast, up and down from Spanishtown, the in- crease of Portuguese was alarming, and that the Protestant element was gradually being crowded out. The report from the Sacramento dis- trict, which includes all the territory from ‘wenty miles south of Sacramento north s at 6 o’clock, | -. | particular what is to b to the Oregon line, and from the crest of the Sierras to the foothills of the Coast range, showed that there are forty-nine charges in the district. During the last year the Shasta Vinico Camp-meeting Association has been in- corporated with a capital stock of $10,000 and is situated among the mineral springs of the Sacramento Canyon; it has been a complete success from the very start. More than forty lots have been sold from its surveyed plat of 320 acres. It isen- tirely under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Harris gave a brief report on the Japanese district of San Francisco. The work of the Methodist book concern of New York was explained by Dr. Homer Eaton, one of the traveling agents. He stated that while many other large print- ing firms had failed in the past year the book concern had been able to declare from its profits a dividend of $120,000 to this year’s conferences, an increase of $20,- 000 over last year’s dividend. He presented a draft to this conference for §1620 as its share of the dividend. Calling attention to several books which had been issued during the year, he urged the pastors to supply their churches and | Sunday-schools with books and periodicals from the church press. The book concern was founded in 1789 and began business on a borrowed capital HALE & NORCROSS NEWS, Attorney Baggett Objects to the Sureties on the Ap- peal Bond. WATCH FOR AN ASSESSMENT. Pine - Street Prattle Points to a Motive In the Defendants’ Stay of Executlion. If the prattle of Pine street mean any- thing to the Hale & Norcross stockholders there will be a lively unloading at the of- fices of the company to-day. It was cur- rent yesterday that unless the judgmentof $210,000 with interest, making in all $260,- 000, be soon settled with the plaintiffs in 0f $600. To-day its net capital is $3,397,000. It has given away for general church pur- poses during the past hundred odd years more than $2,500,000, besides earning its present capital of over three millions. Many churches of other denominations, Dr. Eaton said, are numbered among its largest patrons. 1n the course of the jubilee sermon de- livered this afternoon by the Rev. Dr. Briggs he said: Brethren, perhaps I could serve you best by recounting my blunders—not all of them; there is not time. The one great error, in which others found rootage and nourishment, was a failure to climb to my privilege as plainly taught by Seripture. 1f the Lord lays the great command on heart and conscience he proclaims adequacy of grace { freely offered to every worker. We have taught this for years,and we professed to be “groaning after” the precious experience. Have we not occasionally mistaken & snore for a groan? If all a man’s seeming obedience be vitiated because of his transgression of the law in one ome of many of us? remissness is my realization that grace is attainable and that power lodges inits enjoyment. My expressions of penitence are nothing unless they serve as warnings to others advanced in life less than myself. The right of infinite possession is assured to all who are Christ’s,and so I rest,a sinner re- deemed. Here is more than heirship—it is actual pos- session. The fundamental difference between technical ownership and authentic possession is that a man owns what he has a legal deed for; he possesses only what he appropriates in 1ts essence of good. So we oiten own what we do not possess and possess what we do not own. Religious capacity grows with use. Paul wrote the Epistles, or else he is not the man that fig sin the Acts. We possess all that our souls can take in of his masterhood. Apolios had the rare gift of eloquence, but his knowledge did not extend higher than the baptism of John; but hishumbleness is a great model for us. Used in God’s order the world yields many springs of innocent delight. ' It is ours for con- flict and conquest, for discipline and spiritual culture. Life is ours in all its fullness. We already swim and swing in the great forever; the river will broaden and deepen in its flow, but it is the same river, rolling on- ward, rolling ever. Death is ours; wonder of wonders, the mas- ter has turned servant, the tyrant slain, the terror joy. The sting of death is sin. Things present are ours. The godless million- | What adds to m ownership invades no man’s right. The more we take of God's free bounty the more others are emboldened to take. Things to come are ours. We know that good, all good, awaits us. Let the crazed worldlings greedily snatch the shell of things because they know not of the kernel. Ye shall bring me to life, Lord, when death shell touch no more. It isglorious thus to be young. Something remeins for us to do and dare. Even the oldest tree some fruit may bear. | Men ere not useless in extreme sage. Many of | the world’s most noted characters have accom- | plished great things in old age. If itisglor- ious to be young, it is scarcely less a boon to be old, and heaven so much nearer! Brightly as heaven shines in the forward dis- tance, the work of my life is still so dear that I still must sing: Lord, if I may, T'll work another day. The church has grown, since I entered her ministry, from 656,644 communicants to over 1,250,000. I have seen the California confer- ence grow from a membersnip of two persons to three conferences. Let us be sure of our title; sure that we are Christ’s. If we are Christ’s, we love him more than ease or gold, or fame or pleasure, The following candidates for admission to the California Conference on trial were recommended by the committee this aftery noon: C. K. Jenness, a graduate of Stan- ford University, who had been doing church work at Chico; C. V. Bradstrom, engaged in Swedish work; C. E, Irons of Point Arena, and E. H. Mackay. J.N. Snead of Wallets, Mendocino County, an applicant from the Congregational church, was recommended for an elder’s orders. In the evening the Rev. Dr. Hayes de- livered an address, taking for his text Psalms Ixxxix:19: *‘Then thou speakest in mission to thy holy one and saidst, ‘I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.’ . His introduction was a development of the idea that it was a law of the kingdom to chcose the worthiest instruments for the most important work, Abraham, Moses and David being given as examples. The most important work in the king- dom, he said, was the redemption of the world, and the chosen instrument was the incarnate God. World evangelization was characterized as the most important work intrusted to the church. In its prosecution, he said, God had laid help, not only upon the in- dividuals, but also upon races, continents, peoples. With this thesis the speaker went on to demonstrate that the Anglo-Saxon race, as the foremost race of Christendom, was pre- eminently the missionary race, and that it had found in America its largest ma- terial basis of empire. He thought that the Methodist church, because of its supe- rior numbers and wealth, was best fitted for leadership in missionary work. The address closed with an expression of the important position held by Califor- nia in relation to missionary undertakings. The conference anniversary of the Woman'’s Foreign Missionary Society was devoted to an afternoon of singing, prayer, reports and addresses, one of which was by Bishop Warren, who spoke encourag- ingly of the work being done in the foreign field. The report to the conference by the so- ciety’s'secretary, Mrs. Phoebe B. Searle of San Jose, outlined what had been done in the last year. Three women missionaries bhave been sent from the State to the Orient, and in all there are now nine women in foreign missions being sup- ported by the Pacific branch, besides a large number of orphans. One thousand dollars have been raised at this conference for foreign missions. aire is wrongly classed with men of wealth. | Our patent to religion excites no jealousy, and | Attorney William T. Baggett, Who Objects to the Sureties. the famous mining case it will be necessary to assess the stock. A. B. Thompson, secretary of the company, is authority for this statement. The assessment, under certain conditions, will prove disastrous to the stockholders. 1f the assessment is made before the judg- ment is paid a great deal of the stock will go back to the company, because of the in- ability of the stockholders to meet the assessment, but if an assessment 1s made after the judgment is paid the stockholders will have realized something on their stock as their share of the judgment, and they { will then be in condition to put up assess- ments. There is now on hand something like $6000 to run the mine for the next few weeks, and the ore that they are now working is good. It is said that there will be no immediate necessity of an_assessment if the mine is well worked, but the appeals being taken by the defendants indicate that a little time 1s re- quired to do something, half of which to mortals has never been told. 1f an assess- ment is levied, and a great deal of the stock is called in, the deiendants can take advantage of an old custom, and pay the debts of the left hand with the right hand. It will be seen that a delay in the execu- tion of judgment might be a good thing for the defendants, providing an assess- ment can be levied in the meantime. The delay and the manner of accomplish- ing it might be termed by the Supreme Court as a frivolous appeal, and the de- fendants will necessarily suffer if the court so decides: The custom on that point is not generally known to laymen, but when the Supreme Court rendersa judgment and directs the lower court to enter it for a certain amount of money, and judgment is entered, it is to all intents and purposesa judgment of the Supreme Court; butasa Question may arise as to whether or not judgment has been entered by the Superior Court, and in order to prevent injury being done defendants, the law allows them to appeal from the record on the ground that it is not the judgment entered by the Supreme Court, and if the Supreme Court finds that it is, and that the records are similar, then it is at liberty to decide that it is a frivolous appeal, and it allows the plaintiff damages in whatever amount it may think just, Another matter of considerable interest is the movement that Attorney Baggett is preparing to make. He has reached the conclusion that the sureties on the Hale & Norcross bond are insufficient. “I will shortly give notice,” said Mr. Baggett yesterday, ‘‘that we ob{ect to the sufficiency of the surety on the appeal bond in the Hale & Norcross case, and I will demand that these sureties, W. J. Dingee of Oakland and Walter S. Hobart of this City, justify according to law. “‘Mr. Dingee is connected with the Oak- land Water Company and is associated with Alvinza Hayward. Heis supposed to have what money he has in this enter- prise. The value of the institution isques- tioned, as a very bitter fizht has been car- ried on between the Contra Costa Water Company and the one in which Mr. Dingee is interested. ‘“Walter S. Hobart, the other surety, is one of the heirs of the Hobart estate, and the entire property, so I have been in- formed, has been transferred to a corpora- tion known as the Hobart Estate Com- pany, consequently title is in that corpor- ation. ““Whether Hobart has received any cer- tificates of stock in that incorporatiou or now owns any stich certificates is wholl immaterial, gince as a matter of law it would not entitle him to justify on said bond. The object of the Jaw requirin, bonds to be given is to insure payment o judgment in case of its affirmance, and it contemplates that sureties shall at all times be able to meet the obligation of such bonds, and that they shall possess a character of PFOFCIE' which can be reached by execution. 1f Hobart owns only cer- tificates of stock in a corporation, which may be transferred or sold at any moment, such property and such interest are no guarantee for pay ment of the obligation of the bond. ‘‘As a matter of fact,’ continued Mr. Baggett, ‘I have thirty days after the ap- peal bond was served by the attorneys of the defendants in which to file my objec- tion to the sureties and demand that they justify, but I preferto fileit atonce. After the tiling of my objection the defendants have twenty days to justify on the bond, and when they select the day on which they intend to justify they must give the opposite Eart.y five days’ notice of the time set for the hearing of said justification. They must then justify or give other sure- ties. Failing in this the execution issues and the judgment can be collected.’”” Mr. Bnglgett is quite confident that the money will be paid to the stockholders shortly, and that the defendants have about used up the last resource to stay ex- ecution. AH DONG IS DEPORTED. The McCreary Act’s Effect Realized by a Chinese Felon. Judge Morrow of the United States Dis- trict Court ordered the Chinese felon, An Dong, deported yesterday. Ah Dong served two years at San Quentin for burglary. A similar deportation case comes up to-day when Jong Fook Sing will be tried. Prisoner Dong yesterday asked the court if he would be supplied with blankets on the way over to China. He said he had been informed that previous deportees had been compelled to sleep out on the deck by the Pacific Mail officials without blan- kets to cover them. Judge Morrow in- structed Marshal Baldwin to see that the steamboat company gave Dong proper transportation. ————— THE BONDSMEN LIABLE, Judgment Against the Sureties of Post- master Ezra Barrett. Judgment for $500 on the bond of ex- Postmaster Barrett of Dimond, Alameda County, was awarded to the Government yesterday 1n its case against John H. Thomas and William E. Dargie, Barrett's sureties, by Judge Morrow of the United States District Court. Ezra Barrett, the Dimond Postmaster, was found to be short in his accounts on August 31, 1893, to the amount of $520 02, an(f.\{essrs. Thomas and Dargie, being his bondsmen, are made liable under the law to the extent of the bond. ANOTHER WEEK PROBABLE Mechanics’ Institute Directors Petitioned for an Exten- sion of the Fair. The Concesslonaires and a Major~ ity of the Exhibitors Have Joined In the Request. A majority of the exhibitors, all of the concessionalres and several of the direc- tors of the Mechanics’ Institute are deter- mined tohave another week of the fair, and, despite the fact that this matter was supposed to have been definitely settled at the last meeting of the board, it now seems likely that the desired extension will be granted. A petition asking for a continuation has been signed by nearly all of the exhibitors, and will be presented to the directors at its meeting this evening. The exhibitors held a meeting last night in the annex, when the question was fully discussed. Messrs. Barker, Wolf, Rathjen and Rosenberg constitute a committee representing the exhibitors, and these gentlemen have been active in getting sig- natures for the petition and working up infiluence for the petition wherever it could be found. They assert that there can be no doubt of the result, and that the vi tory has alreacy been won. As to the di- rectors, with whom will rest the final de- cision, they have no objection to another week, provided the owners of the various A Fair Turk. exhibits desire it. Up to last night it did not seem probable that another week was the desire of a majority. P. E. Barker, chairman of the exhibitors’ committee for an extension, said: “The directors promised us another week upon a petition from a majority of the exhibi- tors. We have secured this majority. At our meeting to-night every exhibit in the building was represented, and only two refused to sign. We are absolutely sure of an extension. The directors themselves are in favor of it.” President Hallidie said that the matter Art and Artists at the Fair. [Sketched at the Pavilion yesterday.} would be considered again this evening, and that it was quite dpossible that the peti- tion would be granted. The musical programme for this after- noon and evening will be as follows: aldteafel -Eilenberg tic plece, 8t «Robert le Diable’ e Meyerbeer Overture, “Nabucco”......

Ulanenruf (Lancers call ABANDONED THE LINES, The Market~Street Railway Company Gives Up Five Franchises. NOT NEEDED IN THE SYSTEM. Initial Movement to Concentrate the System’s Workings and Expense. The Market-street Railway Company has filed a declaration with the Board of Su- pervisors, giving notice of its intentien to abandon five sections of the several dozen | franchises it owns. The notice is signed | by Charles F. Crocker, president of the consolidated company. It is said that this action on the part of the company is but the beginning of a movement to give up the non-paying franchises all along its line. Long ago it was hinted’ that as soon as the corporation believed that it had the City’s passenger traffic well in hand it would even go so far as to abandon several of the car lines now running and depend upon the parallel lines holding all the trade. The cable-car lines are being transformed into electric roads | as fast as possible, so as to meet this re- | sult in one way and furnish more rapid | transit. The order to change the double- end horsecars on Montgomery street to bobtail cars is only one move in the step to shift the traffic on that thoroughfare. Other changes of equal significance will soon be inaugurated. = ‘When the late consolidation of streetcar lines was made the Market-street system gathered in all the valuable franchises in sight except those of the California street and Sutter street systems. It had grid- ironed the City with electric, cable and horsecar lines till every section that will yield a nickel is tapped.” It was a regular campaign carried on to capture the bulk of the passenger traffic of the City. Now that the consolidated railway com- Eany is in working trim it finds that it asa number of franchises to streets that it can get along without, and soit has been determined to give them up. Most of the franchises given up are paralleled by other lines of the company in active running operation. For instance the franchise for a railroad on Vallejo street, from Powell to Devisadero, 1s paral- leled by the present Union-street cable line. For this reason the Market street company does not anticipate that any \ capitalist will.care to ask_the Supervisors { for the abandoned franchise. On some of the streets abandoned the company has rails laid. These will be taken up at once and the cost to the com- pany of keeping the streets between the tracks in repair will then be saved. The franchises abandoned are as fol- lows: Commencing at the intersection of Mar- ket and Page streets, along Page to Fill- more, being a portion of the franchise giv- en to the City Railroad Company in De- cember, 1890. A line of roadway commencing at the intersection of Fourth and Berry streets, | along Berry to Fifth, thence across Chan- nel to Illinois, being a portion of, the road- way granted to the Omnibus Railroad Com- pany.in December, 1885. A’ line of railroad commencing at the intersection of Pacific and Dupont streets, thence along Dupont to_Broadway, being a portion of the North Beach and Mission ! Railroad Company granted in November, 1879. | "A'line of railroad commencing at the | interseetion of Kearny and Jackson | streets, thence along Jackson street to | Stockton, being a portion of the franchise granted the Omnibus Railroad Company in June, 1879, A line of railroad commencing at the intersection of Powell and Vallejo streets, thence along Vallejo street to Devisadero, being a pordon of the franchise granted Henry Moffatt, J. B. Reinstein and M. 8. Eisner in December, 1890. | The Page-street franchise from Market street to Fillmore was never used. The company blocks any approach to Golden Gate Park along this thoroughfare by the stretch of electric roadway it runs from Baker street to Stanyan. The Page-street franchise is also parallelled by the Oak- street cable line, so the company is doubly protected on that thoroughfare. The Page-street franchise is part of the roperty that fell into the hands of the Market-street people at the time they ab- sorbed the City Railroad Company. George ‘Whittel and others have a suit still pend- ing in the courts against the Market-street corporation protesting against the figures at which the stock was voted them. The two blocks on Jackson street and the block on Dupont street have been abandoned because in the consolidation of lines better rights of way were found for the new electric road than aiong those thoroughfares. The Berry-street franchise on Fifth street to Illinois street is another rizht of way that was never used. It is practically Y{amlleled by the old Fourth-street and entucky-street line and was a part of the property held for prudential reasons by the old Omnibus Railroad Company. Property-owners, therefore, who Jooked forward to the company eventually build- ing roads along some of these lines might as well give up all hope, for the abandon- ment of the franchises means that the com- intentions of gnny has given up all uilding. The corporation has other big changes in contemplation, but as yet the manage- ment is not prepared to make them public. PATRIOTIC WOMEN. They Are Opposed to the Desecration or Misuse of the American Flag. A large and enthusiastic. meeting of Sequoia Chapter, Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, was held at the residence of Mrs. Emily S. Barstow yesterday after- | moon. Mrs. Colonel A. 8. Hubbard drew the at- tention of the meeting to an article pub- lished in a recent issue of TuE CaLL rela- tive to the misuse and desecration of the American flag, and offered the following peramble and resolution, which were unan- imously indorsed and adopted: WHEREAS, When we reflect that a woman's mind conceived and a woman’s hands modeled the original pattern of the American flag, it seems specially appropriate that as a body of American women, daughters of heroes, organ- ized to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence, we should leave no stone un- turned in our efforts to uphold and reverence the flag unfurled amidst scenes of hardship during the war of the Revolution, the flag that waved at Valley Forge, the flag we love above all others to honor; and whereas, the Society of Colonial Wars of Illinois, at a meeting held in Chicago, February 23, 1895, adopted the fol- lowing resolution, presented by Gaptain Phillip Reade, U. S. A.: The Society of Coloniel Wars in the State of Tlli- nois solicits ils representatives in Congress and the Senate t0 pass a bill which shall provide that any person or persons who shall manufacture or use the National flag, or a pattern thereof, either by printing, painting or otherwise attaching to the same any advertisemeut, for private gain, by public display or_distribution, shall be guilty'of & misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be fined in a sum not exceeding $1000, or be imprisoned for a term not exceeding 100 days, or both, at discretion of a District Court of che United States. And whereas, it solicits in support of the pro- posed enactment the co-operation of every military, loyal, patrioticand hereditary society in the United States; therefore, be it _Resolved, That Bequoia Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, of San Francisco, Cal., is in full sympathy with the movement inaugurated by the Illinois Society of Colonial Wars and indorsed by the societies of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of the Revolution, Regular Army and Navy Union, and by other patriotic societies, and pledges its active co-operation in this movement to permit no desecration or misuse of this most sacred emblem; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this, under seal of the chapter, be forwarded to the governor of t{:lfnggscmy ot Colonial Wars of the State of — SUING FOR THE DITOH. Two Quicksilver Companies Fighting for a Water Supply. A suit of considerable interest to miners isnow in progress in the United States Circuit Court, it having been resumed Wednesday after waiting fora year for its trial to be taken up. It is the case of the Altoona Quicksilver Mining Company of this State against the Integral Quicksilver Mining Company of West Virginia, and the right to use the “Boston’’ water ditch in Trinity County is involved. Judge Beatty began to hear the suita year ago, but after the second day he was called away to Montana. The Altoona company claims to have been in undisputed possession of two ditches, the “Altoona and Boston,” for a reat many years. Both conveyed water Tom Crow Creek, by way of Wiltz Ravine, to the Altoona mine. In August, 1893, however, says the complaint, the defend- ant company took possession of the Bos- ton ditch and diverted the water of Crow Creek entirely away from the plaintiff’s mine and reduction works. Suit is there- fore brought for $5000 damages and a re- possession of the disputed ditch. After the jury was impaneled the day was devoted to hearing reas the transcribed :gsnmony taken during Judge Beatty’s sit- ing. CHNESE SLIVE RESCUE Sold by Her Parents and Pur- chased Three Times in Four Years. Taken From Her Brutal Owners by the Humane Society—At a Chinese Mission. Another Chinese girl has been rescued from a life of slavery through the joint Tsau Cook. efforts of the authorities of the Methodist Chinese Mission and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Tsau Cook is a slave girl who was owned by a family of her countrymen living at 724 Commercial street. Four years ago her parents went to China and before their departure sold her to Ii Mui. She has been sold twice since that time, and her latest mistress has treated her in a brutal manner. Attention has been called to the cruel treatment of the little waif by kind-hearted Chinamen living in the vicinity, and on Wednesday evening Officers Collins and Holbrook rescued her from her unnatural mistress and took her to the mission home on Washington street. Last evening a CALL reporter found her, smiling and happy, at her place of refuge. Through an interpreter she told a revolt- ing storv of cruelty. Her Jlimbs are marked by a dozen or more painful bruises and on one of her feetisa deep wound made by a lash. Her back is marked by scars made by searing the flesh with hot irons. The girl, who is about 12 years old, is deeply grateful to her rescuers. Sympathy and kindness are entirely new factors in her life ana she is already thriving under their influence. The first English word she has learned is ‘‘happy,” and she seems to have caught its significance A GAME-DEALER FINED. L. Lemoine Will Not Purchise Any More Quail Killed Out of Season. The sportsmen of this City read with pleasure in last Sunday’s CALL an ex- clusive report of the confiscation of four sacks of quail by Game Warden Mogan, who followed the game-packer from the ferry up to L. Lemoine’s stall in the Clay- street Market. While Mogan was inspect- ing one of the sacks the carrier made his escape, and Mogan swore out a warrant for the arrest of the game-dealer for hav- ing quail in his possession. be case came up before Judge Kerrigan on_Wednesday and Lemoine was found guilty. The game-butcher moved for an appeal, but his friends advised him that it would be the better and cheaper way out of the mire to pay a fine of $20, which he did. The Game Warden, although having accomg\ishcd pretty good service, made a great blunder by allowing the man who had_the game for sale to escape. The quail-destroyer is said tq be a resident of erkeley, nicknamed Henry, who has been killing quail all the year round. .. The Law on Trademarks. A trademark decision was rendered by Judge Seawell yesterdav in the case of Ella B. Lusk, administratrix of the Josiah Lusk estate, against the California Canneries Company. The plaintiff claimed that when the J. Lusk Canning Company became insolvent the right to use the name *J. Lusk” as a trademark reverted to Josiah Lusk. He or his representatives never resumed the mnnlnf business, and so the sale of the trademark is held to be legal. The verdict is for the defendant. NOTIGE!
