It Is Arranged That They Be Sub- mitted to a Full Inspection in Court Tc-Morrow. The Craven deeds to the Sansoine and Mission street Fair property are doing very well in sustaining the interest in the late Senator’s estate that was wrought up by the famous pencil will. Reuben H. Lioyd had submitted a mo- tion before Judge Slack complaining that the order of the court calling upon Delmas & Shortridge to produce the deeds for the inspection of the attorneys for Mrs. Oel- richs and Virginia Fair had not been obeyed. He asked that the court issue a peremptory order requiring the attorneys 10 produce the deeds in court. When the matter came up yesterday morning Mr. Lloyd was disposed to have lie matter continued until Friday. He said that since the application for the or- der hall been made several photographic copies of the deeds had been taken and given into the hands of the experts en- gaged by the counsel for the heirs, Messrs. | Ames anc¢ Carvalbho. He also learned, he said, that an inspection of the original document had been promised for Wednes- | day morning, and the‘efore he did not desire to push his motion at present, say- ; that if the promises were fulfilled he uld withdraw it.altogether. ttain, representing Delmas & hortria ge, olr]ocleJ to either a con- tinuar ra withdrawal.

The matter was concluded finaliy by an order being made by corsent that the further examindtion of the deeds, which | was to have been held in Delmas & Shortridge, would take piace in Judge Slack’s couriroom on W ednesday afternoon, Delmas & Shortridge reserving the right to except to any other experts save Ames and Carvalho, and also pro- | viding that the deeds be not taken out of their custody. A BISHOP ON BISHOPS. Rev. Dr. Newman Says He and His Brethren Must Submit to the In- flexible Appointment Rules. Bishop Newman made an informal ad- dress at the M. E. preachers’ meeting yes- terday on the subject of tne inside work- ings of the Board of Missions, and the way | in which appointments are made. He and his brother bishops, he said, were| inexorable rules as to the itinerancy. A bishop, on receiving an ap- pointment, could no more back out of accepting 1t than a member of the itiner- ancy could. Bishop Newman showed that for his own part he had been the re- cipient of five or six other offers of ap- pointments in different parts of the Union, but that be bad cbosen California. On motion of Rev. Dr.J. B. Hommond aresolution was adopted in which pro- found appreciation was expressed of ‘the presence of Bishop Newman as an active factor in Pacific. Coast Methodism. Dr. Bovard reported that the petitions in_ re- gard to pool-selling at Emeryville had been prepared and sent to the differ pastors in Alameda County to obfain sig: natures. At the close of the meeting n.ost of the pnstors present signed the petition. Prof. Sturge of Jupanese mission read an interesting paper on Buddhism at the Presbyterian Ministerial Association. The life of Gotama and his doctrines were ! cribed, and in touching on the belief in transmigration the professor said that our Lord’s disciples evidently did not know whether to believe in_transmigration or not, for they asked: “Who bath sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born | blind?” “If it was through his own sin he must naw sinned in a previous state of existence,”’ said the professor. The lec- ture concluded with thestatement: “How immeasurably is the light of tue world superior 1o the light of Asial’ Rev. 8. H. Willey, D.D., the only re- maining member of the organ!zed board of trustees, addressed tne Coneregational Monday Club on *“The Founders of the College of California and Our Inberitance in their Labore’”” He described how the grounds; buildings, ete., at - Berkeley, which in 1855 belonged to.the Congrega- tionalists, had been donated to the Btate for the establishment of the coliege. In X\e discussion regret was exprassed that subject to effort had not been made to keep the lege in its original denominational 10rm, thongh general approbation was expressed at the way in whico the State U niversity is conducted. To-night there will be a meeting of the Church Extersion Society at Sinipson Me- morial Church to consider City methods of work. Arrangements will also be made for the luunn dinrer and the annual Judge Slack expressed the belief that| her He | rour Judge Denson presented a | evi- | 1 been allowed to inspect the deeds and | urnished with photographic copies, | i no reasoun existed for suspecting their | but you first tied them ap in an | which they were re- | meetine.

Bishop Newman will address the Union Ministerial meeting next. Monday at 10:30 A M. His subject will be “The Reforma- tory Forces of Christianity.” On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday | next'a Christmas Emporium will be held at Park Congregational Church, Y. M. C.

The various booths will be under the management of Mrs. Rogers, Mn»s Merritt, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Orr, Mrs. eetser, Mrs, Earl Scawartz, Mrs. Cum- mnus, Miss Boobar, Miss Johnson, Miss Cornish, Mrs. Maule, superintendent King's Daughters; Mrs, Fred Hatch and Mrs. Hogan. On tie 17th inst. there will be a sale of work for the benefit of Olivet, Congre- |, gational Church, Seventeenth and Noe streets. A CHANCE FOR THOMPSON. Train-Wrecker Now Under Sen- tence of Death Given a New Trial on Technicalities. W. H. Thompson, whowas sentenced to death for the part” he took in the - train- wrecking on the.Southern Pacific Com- pany’s line at Roscoe Station, Los Angeles County, February'15, 1594, will have a new trial. = The date of his execution .was originally fixed for May 22, 18%. Before that time his attérney filed an appeal which held off the execution. Now Thompson will have another chanca for his life. ‘W. H. Thompson, otherwise known " as “Kid” Thompson, ana Alva Johnson were concerned in ditching tiie train, or at least they were together for the purpose of holding itup. The testimony in the lower court was that-Johnson threw the switch which caused the locomotive to beditched. Masters, who was in the engine cab, was killed. Johnson was sent to State -prison for iife and he is serving: out hissentence. The attorneys for Teompson have made a de-perate fight for his life. Once before 1Thompson was in the Su- preme Court seeking a new ttial, but a de- | murrer was sustained. The charge sgainst bim was derailing a railroad traiu and an- | lawsully boarding the same to rob it.- The court found that there was really only one offense charged, '‘‘because the probable or at least possible effect of each act is to wreck a t Some parts of the opinion were very in- teresting. It was set up that upon former appeal the court was considering the de- maurrer alone, and of course. understood the information to charge that the defend- ant boarded such a train. At that time it wasmot an operating train and could uot have been wrecked. Therefore when “the | defendant boarded the train to rob it the | act could not by any possibility Lave con- | tribnted toward wrecking the tratn. This would not necéssariy have pre- vented the conviction of the defendant, so the opinion continued. He couid still | have been convicted and ‘punished for throwing a switch for the purpose “of wrecking - the train. The evidence was| sufficient to sustain a con tbat ground. The court granted the new -trial solely | upon tbe ground that the jury was errone- ou;»_vnmmvudin the trial court. Jus- cFarland alone dissented from the decision granting the new txi The | 'ENEW HiGH CHOOL PLAKS A Round Dozen of Them Sub- | mitted to the Board of ‘ Education. Members Who by Their Votes Show Themselves in Favor of a Tem- porary High’School. ! An adjourned meeting of the Board-of |'plans for the proposed Mission High | School. The several propositions were as follows: McDougall Brothers, | Scawerat, $137,000; Witliam Mooser & | | Son, $137,000; V: A. de Prosse, $136,900; Smith & Freeman, $136,020; T. P. Ross, $127,200; Rowell & Wilson, $130,390; W. O. | Banks, $136,548; William Casey, $137,400: C. J. Havens, $136,960; W. Jones Cuthbert- son, $137,000; Cahill & Condon, $137,000. It was decided to examine all the plans ahd drawings by daylight so as to admit tne time was fixed for 10 o'clock to-morrow | morning. All the parties interested-were requested to be present for the purpose of, as President Scott said, “showing that each plan was superior to the othefs.” | Leave of absence was granted io Miss | Harriet E. Warden of the Jonn Swett | Grammar to March 1, 1897; Miss Alice L. Derrick of the Columbia Gramimar to De- | cember 15; Lillie Goodman, Marshall Primary, to March 1. President Scott vacated the chair and cailed Director Clinton to preside, after | which he moved to reconsider the action | of the board at the previous session in re- { gard to the Mission High School. The motion was carried and rhen several mem- bers wanted to know what it was all about, and in order to enlighten the in- | quiring members the clerk read the reso- lution which had been votea down, which was that the Mission High beestablished | located in the Hawthorne school building temporarily, and that CharlesgH. Murphy be appointed pnncinal. When a motion was made to adopt the resolution Director Comte declared that he was a friend of Mr. Murpny, but that there are times when duty is greater than friendship, and bel\evmg that the board had no power to appoini a principal for a prospective school any more than it has to purchase furniture and supplies for a school puilding the foundation of which has not yet been laid, he moved to refer the matter to the Oity and_County Attor- ney for bis opinion as to the power of the board. Director Carew did not believe that there is any need for another high school, and thought that what this board did in the matter would be undone by the next board. Director Knox thought that if the mat- ter went to the City and County Attorney, | at the rate that official was givine opin- ions one would be received in 1898, when the members of the board would be offi- cially dead. Superintendent Babcock supported Di- rector Comte, and thought that if the board could do what the resolution cailed for it could save the next board a great deal of labor by appointing at this time | the substitute ieachers 1or the nexttwo ears. The motion to refsr to the City and County Autorney was lost by the following Ayes—Ambrose, Carew, Clinton, 2 Murdock—5 Woes—Burren,an- ley, Hendersou, McElroy, Knox, Soper—6. Seott absent. g Finally the matter was laid over until the next meeting. After adjournment of the board the many frames were uncovered, and those who remainsd saw the different archi- tectural ideas of what a high school should be. e Forger Pillsbury Held. Louis Cleveland Pillsbury, alias H. A. Wil- liams, the forger and ex-convict, was yester- day held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Conlau on three charges of forgery in $5000 bonds on each charge, He y accused | ol having passed forged checks for small amounts on Oliver Hinckley, Eighth street; Edward Homan of the Midway Pluisance and Thomes McKeon, a butcher on Folsom street.
