Several Million Acres Indirectly In. volved—Poss:bility of Fur- ther Litigation. Judges McKenna, Gilbert and Hawley of the Court of Appeals handed down an important decision yesterday in the case of the Southern Pacific Railway Company | against Nathaniel Bray and David R. Brown of 8Ban Bernardino County, involv- ing the title to certain lands held by the ! deiendants. Judge Hawley delivered the opinion of the court. In the litigation just ended only 300 but the principle of law established practically settles the title to several million acres land hitherto claimed by the Southern Pacific. The held the the title in trust for the company. vas The real question for decision whether the lands patented to Brown and Bray passed by or were excluded from the grant made by Congress to the Southern Pacific Company under the provisions of the “act to incorporate the Texas Pacific Railroad Compauy, and to aid in the-con- struction of its road and for other pur- ,"" which act was approved March 3, 7l. It seems that Brown and Bray settled on the disputed lunds 1n 1878. Nine vears prior to that time Deputy United States Surveyor Reynolds surveyed what is dino County, but it was never accepted by the Government. Some years later one Minto surveved the same property, the results attained by him differing mater- ially from the returns made by Reynolds. When the action against Brown and Bray was brought, it was argued that the western boundary of the Jurupa Rancho should be the rock on which the title to the disputed property should rest. If the the Reynolds survey was correct, then the title of the railroad company could not be disputed. An action was accordingly instituted in the United States Circuit Court, the South- ern Pacific contending that no one ever claimed that the boundary of the Jurupa west line surveyed by Reynolds. The de- fense held that Minto’s survey was offi- cial, and ‘consequently their title to the land was from the Government and not the railroad. The lower court held the same opinion, wherenpon the case was carried to the Court of Appeals. That tribunal now sustains the Circuit Court and orders a judgment to be entered in favor of Brown and Bray, the railroad to pay all costs. . CHUTES TC-DAY.

When pass- ‘iug over the bar an overturned fishing boat, with two men clingingto the bottom, was sighted. Captamn McCalloch, the | pilot, drew Captain Crowell’s attention to the fact, and the steamer was at once | stopped. A boat was lowered, and the 1mentaken off. It was only justin time, | however, as before the rescue party got | back to the City of Para the fishing-smack | sank. | At first Captain Crowell intended put- | ting the men aboard the pilot-boat, but when the tug Sea Queen hove in sight he signaled her and Captain lke Smith at once agreed to bring the men to the City. | When their boat went down the fi men lost their all. When they capsized | they had a good catch of rockcod aboard for yesterday’s market, so that they not only lost their boat and all its equipment but the result of two days’ hard fishing, The ferry-boat Oakland, while on the 7 | . M. trip to San Francisco yesterday, | broke her rudder chain and driffed around for half an hour. After considerable maneuvering sha was got around and the other rudder was used. There was con- siderable excitement aboard, but it was | soon allayed when the extent of the dam- | age was made know The Oakland was | | crowded, as the business people who live | on the other side of the bay usually come | | over on that trip. | There was a big crowd of school children | and their reiatives and friends on Ulay- | street wharf yesterday. They all expected to go on a pleasure trip to Angel Island | on the steamer McDowell, but the vessel was otherwise engaged, so no 10:30 A. M. | run was made. The men who came from | Fort Canby on the State of California had to be taken to their d nation and it took the steamer all day transporting them from the Oregon dock to Alcatraz and Angel Island. The Pioneer Yacht Club held its second annual regatta last Thursday. The fleet was composed of the Volunteer, Neliie, Ethel 8, Pride, San Vincent, Amy, Emma, Elia, Dread Naught, Maluna, Encinzal and Angelina. After a cruise around the bay the party landed at Angel Island and spent a most enjoyable time. There were | boatraces for men and women and run- | ning-races on the sand. The half-mile rowing-race for ladies was won by Miss Lottie Welch, the half-mile race for men by M. King and the race for skippers by the captain of the Ethel S. The running race for iadies was won by | Mrs. Welch, and that for men by Dave | Dean. The running high jump was won | by Barney Jones, and the tug-of-war, club men vs. non-members, was won by the | former. The target practice was a source of great amusement. Each contestant Q\'as blindfolded and given a brace and bit. hey had to keep turning the brace and at he same tiine walk toward the target. Miss May Drushell got within twenty feet of tbe center and won tbe first prize. " The | others wandered in all directions and had to be brought back to the starting-point. i Everybody voted the affair a most enjov- | abie one, and gave three hearty cheers for Commodore Kendall when it was all over. The raising of tne Blairmore is still a problem that is worrying Captains Burns and Whitelaw. Pumping ana hauling wag kept up until 10 o’cleck last night, and then the tired men were given a rest. Yesterday another new pump was pur- chased and to-day was occupied in placing it in position. It all goes weil another at- tempt will be made to-morrow, and if it fails everybody will be almost ready to give up in despair. If the sunken vessel's stern can be raised ail will go well. If not, not all the tugs in the bay can move her. ' e steamer Newport, which arrived from Panama last Thursday, wil have to be overbauled before she can go out on another trip. Her machinery breke down on the run from New York, and it took two weeks at Panama to get it in | anything like working order again, Per- & number of the richest men in the eity, dropped dead at Van Ness and Walnut avenues yesterday morning.

MADE HER LIFE A LITTLE HELL, a Kearny-Street Druggist. HE WAS HOT-TEMPERED Locked His Wife Out of Doors if She Dared to Disobey Him. MARRIED ONLY FOUR YEARS. Judge Seawell Allowed Mrs. Gerdes Alimony Pending Hearing of Her Suit. Judge Seawell yesterday ordered Henry G. Gerdes to pay his wife, Alvisa A. Gerdes, $50 a month alimony, pending the trial of a suit for divorce which Mrs. Gerdes entered on June 10. Gerdes is also com- manded to pay his wife $20 for expenses incurred in bringing the suit, §50 alimony and $75 on account of her counsel fees, on or before July 1. On the day the trial of the case begins, he must also pay her an additional $125 for counsel fees. Mrs, Gerdes” complaint tells a woeful story of domestic infelicity. Her maiden name was Alvisa A. Patterson. On Decem- ber 23, 1892, she was married to Henry G. Gerdes, the druggist, whose place of | business is at the corner of Pine and | Kearny streets. For the past three years, the complaint alleges, the husband has been guilty of willful neglect, failure to vrovide the common necessities of life, anl of cruelty. Mrs. Gerdes claims that her husband has a violent temper which he makes noeffort to control when at home, and that he takes fiendish delight in harassing her and hu- miliating her in the presence of others. She says that during the past three years the druggist hasrefused her permission to leave their home at any time, and has also refused to allow her to bave any itors, saying that he would “throw any visitor out of the house.” The complaint further recites how Mr. Gerdes hason several occasions left his home without informing his wifeas to where he was going and absented himself several days much to her distress. On one occasion be absented himself while she lay helpless on a sick bed. ‘When Mrs. Gerdes saw tit to go out in defiance of her husband’s commands, she says he locked her out of thHe house. On April 1, 1895, Mr. Gerdes brought his niece, Clara Gerdes, to live at his home, despite the plaintiff’s protests, and there she has resided ever since. The last act of the whole play of cross purposes was witnessed on May 23, last, when, the wife alleges, the compounder of prescriptions called her vile names and attempted to strike her. Being afraid of physical injury, she left him and applied for a divorce. | _The case will come up for trial after | Judge Seawell's vacation. Gerdes has $1500 in bank, property on Castro street and the income from the drugstore is $250 a month. <k Dodson in Trouble Again. Beverley Dodson, the colored contractor, is in trouble again.

McCordsville is a quiet little village sixteen miles northeast of Indianapolis. Here lives, in a modest cottage with her parents, a patient | sufferer whose afllictions, borne without a | murmur, have been known to ail the country- side. Her name is Anna Nagley, and this is the story as she tells it: ‘I was a healthy, happy child. Four years | 880 last May I became partially paralyzed and | by January, 1892, I was utterly helpless and {10 bed. I lay until April. I had the best medical attendance that could be procured, but notbing could be done for me. One day I chanced to see an article in a paper, a state- ment from a man who had been cured by Wil- | liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. His symp- | toms and sufferings as he described them corresponded to my own. I resolvea to try the pills. They were noton sale in McCordsville [‘ind Isent to Mr. Quigley, a druggist at Green- eld. “My limbs from my hips down were cold and numb. Though wrapped in hot blankets and vigorously rubbed with liniments, the cir- culation of the blood could not bekeglnp. The dose is one vill for each meal, to be in- creased to three. I bewan with three. Isaid 10 myself, ‘The doctors have no hope for me, 80 here goes three at a clip.” My improvement was as repid as it was wonderful. By the fourtn or fifth day my limbs were moist and warm and I felt that my blood was stirring. I ook several boxes of the pills. In the me time I got up and began to walk about, and this was the first wa'king alone and without a crutch that I had done for two years. From 95 pounds my weight rose to 117 ponnds, and 1could walk as well as anyone. I washed and ironed and did the housework. The doctors were ali puzzled. They neither understood my sickness nor my recovery. “My experience has made Williams' Pink Pillsfor Pale People known to others, and many have used them and been cured. Mr. Haskell, a neighbor here,’flr tially, paralyzed, has been made well and able to work. So has Mr. Kimberiin and several others. W. Hardman, an_attorney at the neighboring town of Pendleton, was partially paralyzed following an attack of grip. He was scurcel{ able to walk, even with crutches. The Pin Pills have cured him. My father, James W. Nagley, 65 years old, was so nervous he could not hold a cup in his hand. The Pink Pills have restored him. Mrs, Elias Marsh of Greenfield, who suffered from rheumatism for ten years and was almost helpfless, has been cured by Williams’ Pink Pills tor Pale People. I know of others, but I considered mf case the most remarkable of any of them, as it was paralysis caused by the giving way of the nervous system.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, ina con- densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfail- ing specifio for such dise: as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, . Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head- ache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (50 cents 2. box, or six boxes for §2 50—they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr, lg}'illyhms' Medicine Compaay, Schenectady, Domestic Shortcomings of THE CORKERS' (UTING. Athletic Sports and a Good Time on Bakers Beach. The second outing of the **Corkers”” was was a most successful affair. The weather was pleasant, and the members availed themselves of the op- portunity of havirg a good day’s hilarity. The lunch was prepared by the royal caterer of the Corkers, Stephen Poggie, who was ably assisted by the stewards, Jim Lewis, Jackson Warren and Joe Mat- teson. After Junch, of which all the members did justice, the following games took place: The first on the programme was a wrestling match between Tom Finnerty, the heavy-weight of the River Express, and Pat Grace. Grace won first fall, and in the excitement incident to the second fali the contestants roiled over on the beach until a big roller from the ocean took all the ardor out of them. Jack Bendevidas challenged the winner to meet him at the next outing. The next event was throwing the hammer, between Al Delehanty and Sam Eldridge, which was won by Delehanty, who beat Eldridge by two feet. The next was a running race, 100 yards, between Winfield, Garrett, Wilkie, Michaels, O'Connell and Petsch, which was won by Wilkie in 1134 seconds. The jumping match was contested by Billy Dwyer, Lewis, Poggie, Vebellen and Petsch, and was won by Dwyer by 2 feet. The tug-of-war between the married ahd single men was well contested and wa: won by the married men. The baseball game was won by the single men, and their success was due to the battery work of Bendeyidas and Loh. Score 13 to 6. Following the games the Corkers’ favo- rites, Thomas and Brower, sang several duets, followed by the Corkers Quartet, Love, Ford, Loh and Bendevidas, which { was well received, as also the Kinderzar- ten Quartet, Eddie Herbert, Boyle, Johnunie O’Connell ‘and Jimmie Garrett.
