A Substitute for the New Ap- pellate Court Bill in the Legislature. If It Succeeds Oaly Licensed Attor- neys Can Bz E ected as Justices. A number of attorneys of this City, headed by Justice of the Peace Groezinger, will make an eifort to help out the Leg- islature in one of the prok s that now confronts it—that of relieving the calen- dar of the Supreme Court from the crowded condition that often sets im- | portant cases back for months. | A bill is now being considered at Sacra- mento which aims to create 8 new appel- late courr, with jur sufficient to | take care of much of the work of the Su- preme Court, to the end that cases may be promptly decided. | The aitorneys mentioned will have a substitute presented which, they believe, will solve the problem in a much more | simple manner, and, st the same time, not incrzase the expense of maintaining the present courts. They will ask the Legislature to amend | the constitution so that the Justices’ courts shall bave jurisdiction over cases where the | amount involved does not exceed $600, instead 0. $299 99, as at present. | This will take much of the pressure off | the Supreme Court, as 8 majority of the cases handied by the Surerior Court are for amounts less than §600, and these will Iy be appealed to the Superior Court. substitute will also demand that only attorneys licensed to practice before the Supreme Court of the State be eligible to hold the office of Justice of the Peace. “Instead of creating an intermediate | Appeliate Court, as 1s proposed,’” said | Justice Groezinger yesterday, ‘‘the busi- | Saperior Court would bs largely dimin- hed and their calendars kept clear by irst_passing & law requiring that ail stices of the Peace in this State be ad- mitted practitioners in all couris in the State. Then by a simple amendment to | the constitution increase the jurisdiction { of the Justices’ Courts from its present limit of $29999 1o about §600. In other words doubie it and also increase the court’s jurisdiction in cases of foreclosure of liens on personal property from its present limit of under $300 and give it | jurisdiction to try cases wherein the value | ot the personal property or the amouut of | the lien does not exceed the sum of $300. No more Justices would be required in | this State 2nd the businessof tie Superior | and Supreme courts would be reduced | | about one-half. | atistics show that a majority of the | cases for the recovery of money or dam- ages filed in the Superior Court are be- tween $300 and $600 and three-fourths of those cas:s are appesled to the Supreme Court of this State, and it is these cases that clog the calendars and take up the | time of the much overworked Super.or | Judges. Consequently when an important case is appealed to the court it 1s years before it is finally decided. “If, as is proposed, the jurisdiction of the Justices’ Courts i8 increased all this car be remedied without creating any other courts or reorganizing our whole judicial system. There is no reason why this should not be done, for surely a Judge competent to try a case wherein | the amount involved is $259 69 is just as | | competent totry a case ot $600, jor the same law governs each case and both are | tried on the same facts, the amount being only a limitation as to jurisdiction. | |~ “The Superior Court would then be the | | App te Court of the Justices’ Coun,} | | and a penaity could be charged upagainst the party appealing, in the way of a small | percentage of the amount invoived. | should the appellant lose the appeal said | penalty 10 go to the county. This would Lelp the county in revenue and stopmany | frivolous appeals, there being no penalty | other than costs at the present time. | +-1f Justices were compelied to be prac- | titioners of the Supreme Court better Jus- | tices would be eiected by the people, and | their jurisdiction being increased better | lawyers would aspire to the office. Be- | sides, this would be a very popular meas- ure with the attorneys, asin the interior | counties in this State no qualification 13 required, as to knowledge of law, of a Justice.” KINGS RIVER AND BRIDGE. | i Work to Begin on It Now—The Carson Contest and Withdrawal of the Broad Gauge. A. D.

She Is One of the Handsomest Vessels in the Bay and Captain Taylor Is A MIZIEN FROG THAT MYSTIFIED But the Freak on the Ircquois Is Now Ex- plained. It Was a Pet Brought Aboard at New York by Oae of the Crew. A Row at the Ferries Over an Over- ccat Caused the Arrest of Two Young Men. The American ship Iroquois had a hard time of it on nher trip from New York to San Francisco. On several occasions she was in danger and twice the sails were split and several of tnem carried away. While lying becalmed two swordfish were caught and the crew cut off their heads and mounted them, the coast of Chile a frog was discovered in the mair rigzing and speculation was rife as to how it got there. The running-gear had been newly tarred and Mr. Frog got entangled in the sticky mass and could not get away. There was considerable iscussion among the officers as to how the batrachian got there, but no solution could be reached. The matter was solved yesterday, however, when one of the crew explainea at the Vallejo-street steps that it was a pet frog and had lived in one of the bunks from the time the vessel left New York. Itsowner was playing with it when the call came for all hands to shorten sail. The sailor put the frog in his pocket and went aloft. When ho re- turned to the forecastle the frog was gone and was not discovered again until found | in the rigging. The lroguois is a very handsome vessel, in fact one of the Landsomest American vessels that comes to this port. She is as clean as a new pin and to look at no one would ever think she had been through any heavy weather during the voyage. The Southern Pacific has called in all the tickets heretofore issued to stevedores. The agents of the company assert that the | privilege has been avused and that in uture only about two firms will be given iickets. The stevedores have a great deal of work to do at Long wharf, O.kland, and at the Alameda Moie unloading vessels, and the railroad company has been in the | habit of 1ssuing them sixty tickets, good for one trip each, for $3. These the boss stevedore issued to the longshoremen who were sent over 10 work on the vessels and the company honored them. Now the as- sertion is made bg the corporation that the tickets have been given to all and sundry and that hundreds of people have traveled on a 5-cent ticket who should have paid 10 cents. A stevedore who has torty men at work almost constantly has had his tickets called in, and as he has at least anotner month’s work ahead of him it means an extra expense of at least $50 10 him alone. The fiat has gone out, how- ever, and like the laws of the Medes and Persians it is unalterable. D. Cameron, chief engineer of the steam whaler Thrasaer, is santed by the police. He owes W. P.' Herman, tbe boarding- master, for board and lodging and money loaned, but he never offered to pay a cent even though he did geta good advance. As the Thrasher was about to sail Her- man swore out a warrant for his arrest on a charge of defrauding an innkeeper. Ofticer Coarneen of the harbor police was sent out to bring the man in, but the crew wouid not allow him into the engine- room. To-day Captain Dunleavy wiil have all the sailors arrested on a charg, of obstructing an offic rin the discharge of his duty. The steamship Alameda, which was to have sailed for Australia via Honolulu to- morrow at 2 P. x., will not ges away before Friday, March 5, at 2 P. M., on account of delay of the Australian mails. The Columbia is 1o return to Coos Bay in a few days alter having received a thorough overhauling. The old captain and chief engineer arrived last Monday and will take her up. The Hunter and Columbia will now be good for another year's service in northern waters, 8. W. Emmon wrote asking the board to grant him the privilege of using the State whari at the north approach Lo the Oregon Railway and Navigatiom Com- pauy’s wharl. The state of Spear street was such, bhe added, that it was unsafe and impassable. This request was reterred to he chief engineer, Edward R. Swain rendered his report concerning the progress of the work on the union depot and ferry-house. “The work of erection,” he wrote, ‘'has been carried on continuously during the month. ‘Tne Risdon Iron Works have nearly com- pleted section 2 of the building, only a small portion of the steel work remaining to be put in place, and they promise it shall b- finished in about one week.”” The contractors for the stone and masonry work, the report stated, had made a good commencement, all the granite being set for section 1, and some of the sandstone piers up and ready for the arch stone. Attorney Ford notified the board by letter that in the matter of dockage claimed as due from Captain Bingham, the iatter's attorney, Hon. T. C. Coogan, had informed him that he did not consider the claim lawful and therefore declined to pay. The letter was filed. The following bids on iumber were re- ceived; E. K. Wood Lumber Company, When 1500 miles off | $8 50 per 1000 feet; Pacific Pine Lumber Company, $7 50; Byebee & Clark, $7. The board deferred action until the nexs meet- no. The bark Martha Davis, on the berth for Honolulu, has more cargo offering than she can carry., She will get away in a day or so, and Cabtain Soule is in hopes of making & quick trip. He is to be mar- ried to one of the belles of Honolulu next July, and when the vessel gets back here he will leave her and return to Hawaii There he will make his home and go into ‘business for himself. Captain Souleisa general favorite here and the water front will miss him. The new schooner Hono'ulu is not a success in light winds and calms. Four of her erew, who came up onthe brig Lur- line, say that in anything like a breeze | she is & splendid sea boat, but in a caim | she rolls cunwales unaer. She has a great | spread of canvas, and the sails flapping against the masts and yards broke three gaffs during the trip. The men say she is 8 comfortable boat and a sailer in heavy weather, but in lieht winds and calms they consider her a failure. The French steamer La Madeleine is to heve a thorough overhauling. It was at | | first thought that she could be paiched up | and made as good as new, but the captain | soon fcund out his mistake. A thorouzh | examination snowed that it would take at least sixty days to make the repairs, and bids were called for. The competition was brisk and the Risdon lron Works secured the job. It is expected that about May the La Madeleine will be on her way to her home port in South America. | G. Macolrich, a teamster, had a narrow | | escape on East strest yesterday. He was | | taking a cask of wine to tue ferries, when | his horses swerved. The nu: came off the fore axle of the wagon, and the wheel fol- | wed suit, The barrel of wine tipped | ov'r, in its fall turped wagon and | | horses over. Macolrich fell under the | | wagon and escaped with a badly cut chin | | and the loss of a couple of teeth. The | wharf rats got around the wine barrel, which was leaking, but Officer Con Dono- hue soon drove thiem away. The team- ster was taken home, and soon afterward | another team came along and took away the wine. Charles Wilson, engineer of the steam vower barge Renown, hed a narrow escape | last Monday night. The barge has been alongside the Burmah, at Green-street | | whart, for some days, and Wilson went up- | town to get some groceries, Ox his way | | bome he mistook the chute a little south | of Green street for the wharf and walked overboard. He yelled for help, and Al- | bert Heyer, who was asleep in Crowley’s | boathouse, heard and wentat once to his | assistance. After some trouble Albert | fished nim out and got him on dry land. | He was a piiable sight. The sugar had melted and was running out of his pock- ets. The tea and coffee were ruined, and | some of the other packages in his pockets | were unrecognizable. Wilson easily found | nis way aboard his boat after that, but it | | is safe to say that he will never again | misiake a chute for a wharf. | A great ocean race has just been com- | pleted. The British ship Rahan leit here on November 20 and the Puritan, Cro- martyshire, Queen Margaret and Ross- | shire on the 2lIst, all bound tor Great Britain. A dinner and several suits of clothes were wagered on the outcome of | the race, but among local men the Puri- tan was the favorite. When a month out | the Ross-shire, Cromartyshire and Puritan were in company off the coast of Central America, and there was a great deal of pood-natured badinage over the matter. The captain of the Puritan, as she moved ahead, offered the other two boats a tow, but as the matter turns out the Cromarty- shire has beaten them all. She arrived at Queenstown yesterday after the emartest run of the season. The victory is a popu- lar one as the master has a great number of friends in San Francisco. There was a very peculiur case at the ferries yesterday. Whi.e walking through the waiting-room Officer Dowd saw a $5 piece on the floor. He picked itup and asked those around if anybody had lost any money. Noone had, so he turned the money over to Sergeant Avon. Half an hour later a telephone message came from Superintendent Wilder of the narrow- gauge rout asking if a gold piece had been picked up. The ticket agent asked Dowd and he said *‘yes.”” Later the money was sent across the bay and the owner re- ceived it. According to the story a woman rushed up in & hurry to the ticket agent and asked for “one for Alameda.” She got itand while taking out 10 cents dropped the $5. ' J. T. O'Brien,a girl named Maud, Edward Johnson apd another man were the center of attraction at the ferries yester- day. All except Johnson were bound for Antioch, and Johnson was bound to get an overcoat he swore O'Brien had stolen from him. BSergeant Avon: was called in and in answer to questions Johnson ad- mitted owing O’'Brien money, but while the lstter said the coat had been given in payment Jobnson swore it had only been loaned and that O'Brien was '“running away with the girl.” While the sergeant was interrogating Maud, O'Brien and Johnson got into a fizhtand both were locked up for disturbing the peace. At the Harbor Police station O’Brien gave his occupation as saloon-keeper and John- son said he was a bellboy. The former was reieased by Judge Campbell on bis own recognizance and the latter put up cash bail. In the meantime Maud and her other male companion took the train tor Antioch, where the supposition is that they will await the coming of O’'Brien. Sce Yup Case Postponea. The case of the See Yups against the local Consul-General, Fung Yung He'.g, was not re- sumed before Commissioner Heacock yester- day, but on cousultation between Atiorneys Campbell and Garter it was decided to post- pone the hearing of the case until to-day at 10 A M.

John Kasich of Montana Changed Valises With His Victim. In It Was All the Money That Petro Corbelli Had Withdrawn From the Hibernia,Bank. Detective E. J. Wren has landed in jail | one of the oldesl and most persuasive con- fizence men who has ever come here from sunny Italy. He'is booked on a charge of grana lai- ceny at the City Prison under tbe namo | of John Kasich, which is believed to be fictitious. The prisoner's most recent escapade consists of working the valise change act | on his unsuspecting victim, a bootblack | named Petro Corbelli, whose stand is at the corner of Hyde and McAllister streets. Kasich patronized Corbelli’s stand quite frequently about ten days ago and always gave his countryman a half-dollar in pay- ment for a shine, always refusing the change. He related a story of vast wealth possessed by his father and himself in Montana, whence he claimed he had just rived. He professed mnot to speak Eng- lish, and asked Corbelli to act as his iriend, companion, interpreter and_guide in viewing tne sights of this great City. The bootblack closed up his stand one day last week and the two started out and enjoyed themselves. They siopped for | lunch at the Hoffman Cafe, where Kasich, | with a perfect disregard for money, handed | the waiter $20 in gold. As the latter | turned to get change Kasich impressed his guide as a perfect Monte Cristo by | asking him in Italian: +Did T give that servant enough?” Subsequently the confidence o{verator | asked his friend’s advice as to a safe place | for bim to deposit two big bundles of | greenbacks he packed about with him in his coat pocket. Corbelli suggested the hiring of a Safe Deposit box. “s that where you keep your money,” asked Kasich. “No; I only have $315 and I have it on de_Fosu at the Hibernia Bank.” he man irom Montana thought the bank would not be accessible enough on ascount of its early closing hours and he decided he would buy a valise, place his money in it and thence in the Safe De- posit. “I have confidence in you,’’ he declared, | Ianing the bootblack on the shoulder. | “1Il let you carry my Kkey to the box so | that I'll be sure of not losing it, and_be- sides, 1 will always want you to go and in- terpret for me when I call atthe place. By the way, you had better put your money in the'valise with mine.” As Corbelli was to be sole custodian of | the key to the box heagreed and drew his account from the Hibernia Bank. The two then repaired to the Safe De- posit building and the valise was carefully | stowed away. But en route there they | made o momentary stoppage for a drink in a couple of saloons, and in one of them some confederate of Kasich substituted | another valise for the one which held the coin. The Montana man and his victim sep- arated late that afternoon and neither met | again. In a few days Corbelli became anxious at his friend’s absence, and he went to | the Safe Deposit box, where he had piaced the valise. The latter was still there, but in it there was no momney—nothing but rocks and a few packages of paper. . Detective Wren arresied Kasich yester- day morning at the corner of Powell and Market str NEW TO-DAY.

He Was Employed as Clerk in the Emporium Art Department. All Efforts of the Police Here and in Ockland to Find Him Uasuccessful. The police in this City and in Oakland are searching for George A. Atherstone, who is wanted here on a charge of forg- ery. Atherstone was until Saturday last em- ployed in the art department in the Em- vorium by Mrs. Charles B, Wells. The department was formerly conducted by Mrs. Wells’ husband, but since his death, | some months ago, she has managed his estate, and all checks were sizned by her, ‘‘Estate Charles B. Wells, by Margaret A. Welis.” Atherstone assisted Miss Mabel Nelson, the young lady in charge of the depart- ment, and as business had been slack lately, Mrs. Wells decided to dispense with Atherstone’s services last Saturday. It was part of Atberstone’s duty to go to the First National Bank and cash checks which Mrs. Wells was 1n the habit of drawing to meet current expenses, Monday afternoon Mrs. Wells went to the bank (o cash a check for $75 and was surprised to learn that Atkertone had been there tbat morning and had cashed a check for $300. She denied bavingsigned any such check, and an investigation showed that Atherstore had also obtained $250 on another check. Mrs. Wells was shown the checks and she at once pro- nounced both to be forgeries. The bank officials advised her to place the matter in the hands of the police, and she hastened to the Emporium. Miss Nelson was informed of the forgeries, and she went to police headquarters and laid the facts before Chief Crowley. None of the Police Judges could be found, but Prosecuting Attorney Reynolds ot Judge Low's court took the matter in band and prepared the warrant for Ather- stone’s arrest, which was sworn to by Miss Nelson before Justice of the Peace Groez- inger. As it was believed that Atherstone would leave the State Mis« Nelson, accom- panied by Policeman Wells, crossed over toOak!and and the police there were asked to arrest Atherstone. All the outgoing trains were watched, but Atherstone failed to make his appearence. It is suspected that he is in biding either here or in Oskland, where he lived with his parents, but all efforts to fina bhim have so 1ar proved futile. The supposition is that Atherstone secured two blank checks on Saturday from the back of the check-book, and after stamping them with a rnbber stamp bearing the words, ‘*Estate of Charles B. Wells,” forged Mrs, Welis’ signature. Atherstone is about 24 years of aye and is widely known in Oakland. His father, Thomas €. Atherstone, was arrested some months ago on the charge of felony- embezzlement, and the case is still pend- ing in the Superior Court. He was cashier for a sewing-machine company in the Crocker building, XEW TO-DAY! o NUMBER o] i & THE CENTURY ¥ MAGAZINE 5 W : o MARCH & o ] 2 o o] ] z : o B o B o B B * %] waven > RICHLY ILLUSTRATED.
