As section 69 of the Civil Code, relating to the issuing of marriage licenses, has not been amended, it is likely that per- sons ignorant of the new law may obtain Jicenees and be married.

The refuge of persons prohibited by the new law here is likely to be the sister States of Orecon, Nevada, Arizona and Washington, where there are no laws for- | bidding marriages _after divoice. In Washington the law is ambizuous and it may. be that divorced persons mustwait six months. Another refuge is- likely to be the high sezs. Persons divorced here may be legally married beyond . three miles from shore, but not on a California vessel, because the law of the State fol- lows the vessels of the State beyond the marine league.

Charged With. Grand TLarceny for Making Unlawfu} Use of a Deed. The trialof J. F. Turner, charged with grand larceny, is. drawing to a close in Judge Wallace’s court. The following-named - citizens - have been impaneled to try the case: John A. Apperson, Vicior Audler, George Shyuer, J. G. Hecker, Rudolph H. Hahn, H. W. Swasey, E.O. Tutie, Wiliam A. Hewitt, George A. Richmond, 1. Simon, Henry Rosenfeid, Henry W. Hyman. Turner is accused of having taken illegal possession of a deed worth about $8000, beionging to Joseph - P. Frenna, which he pretended to have recorded in. Fresno County. but which was not so recorded. After that Turner negotiated three mort- gages on Frenna's property. k The proparty {ormerly belonged to Turney, ana a8 thete was no record of a change of ownership, Turner had no diffi- colty in borrowing money with that prop- erty as security. . o 5 Attorney Collins, representing Turner, contended that the deed 1o Freana was in ple about | marrisge | necticut | bited by a New York | 1aid down in legal textbooks, peoble di- | | paring for this struggle, and an imposing array of legal talent will aprear in Judge | Slack’s court next Monday morning. (PAGE MAY YET BE FREE A New Trial - Given to the | Ex-District Attorney of | This - City. The Suprem: Ccurt Takes a Very Lib:ral Vi.w of the Evidence in the Case. The Justices and Commissioners of the State Supreme Court gave the lawyers and the criminal element something to think about yesterddy apropos of the Page case. Ex-District Atiorney James D. Page was convicted of embezzlement last year. It was shown at the trial that he had absorbed the entire estate of his in- sane ward Louis Lichtneger, amounting to $4362 Page, upon being confronted with the evidence of his guilt, fled to Salt Lake, woere he lived under the assumed nam e of James Mason. Upon learning 1h his - whereatouts had been made known by a man travel- ing across the continent, Page, alias | Mason, flea tc New York, where he was sutsequently arrested and returned to | this City on a Grand Jury indictment. At the trial it was shown that Page was appointed guardian o: Lichtneger, an in- | sane man, on January 3, 1891. On April ;4 of the same year he was ordered to file his account of his ward's estate, but be did not do 8o until May 4, 1894 This ac- jcount showed that in June, 189 paid $190 to the Agnews Asylum, | that date he had $3776 92 on band. Judge | Levy, in wnose court this was filed, was unable to obiain furcher from Page. information At the trial of Page, Judge Levy testified that Page had drawn |from the German Bank ail but $51 | of the insane man’s estate. Page wase re- moved as guardian by Superior Juage Slack on Mgy 28, 1895, but at that time no | demand was ade upon uim for the de- livery of his ward’s money, nor was any | other guardian appointed. g In his appeal for a new trial Page con- tended that the indictment of tbe Grand Jury under wnich he was tried was il- legal; but the Supreme. Court held that | it was legal and tha: Superior Judge Wal- lace, before whom Page was convicted, did not make a mistake in refusing to set aside the indictment or in refusing to sustain the defendant’s demurrer. How- ever, the Supreme Court did grant the ex-District Attorney a new trial on the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence to justily his conviction for embezzie- ment. The Supreme Court was so liberal inits views as to hola that because no demend had been made upon Page for his ward’s money there was no evidence to show that he had misappropriated the estate, and could not bs held as an ém- bezzler. The caseé of Treasurer { cleaned up s Royce, who veral thousand dollars out of the Veterans’ Home Association, was cited. In that case the Supreme Court held tnat Royce “may have had the money all thai time ready to refund to any demand of the association. 1f the verdict in that case was not justjfied by the evidence it is quite clear that it was not in this,” The fact that Page fled from the State when called upon for an accouating for his shortcomings did not seem to cut any figure in the order for a new trial. The | decision was rendered by Court Commis- sioners Belcier, Searis .and Haynes, and was affirmed by Justices Garoutte, Har- rison and Van Fleet. | ————— Sang Good-by to gheldon.

About noon to-morrow she will clear for Queenstown. The Mariposa was expected to depart to- day, baving been delayed already twenty- four hours by the tardy arrival of the English mail. But it was stated yester- day that she will probably be obliged to exiend the hour of her departure till near 100N 10-morrow. Howard-street wharf was the scene of a shooting yesterday that resuited in the man who was so careless with his gun getting two beautifuily mottled eyes and a chance to ponder_on the uncertainty of exisience in the Harbor Police station. The man in question 1s Jokn Barth, and he arrived in port on the schooner Eva as second mate. Day before yesterday Barth was being paid for his serviceson the Eva, when a woman appeared who seemed. to know 1d demanded He gave her $10, and Officer George W..Lake saved him from the anger of a crowa at the woman's beck by placing him on a car and starting him uptown, Yesterday Barth invested part of his earnings in a revolver and came down to the wharf with thé expectation of signing as.seaman on the Invincible, soon to £o to the Alaska fishing grounds. His account of subsequent occurrences is that a man named George Kemp, who, he claims, 1s the husband of the woman in question, started to pummel him, whereupon Barth pulied his revolver and discharged it at Kemp, but missed. A crowd then set upon him and beat him nearly into insensibility. He was taken to the station and‘ locked up on a charge of discharging firearms.

In his first report to the Board of Edu- cation, made on Wednesday evening, Su- perintendent of Schools Webster made some valuable sugzestions thatwill prob- ably be'acted on by the board later. In regard to school materials he stated that several citizens had complained to bim that a custom prevails in some schools of compelling children to pur- chase writing-tablets of certain manufac- ture, and books not authorized by law, or by an order from the Board of Education. He says that this comes dangerously near to violating the provisions of section D RIS KSR tion. The men were out fi:hing in a smal. t The American Flag as It Appears Waving Proudly to the Breeze Over the Iron Framework of the New Harbor Building. skiff, when the wind and tide commenced to carry them out to sea. | They were unable to help themselves any and the launci picked them up on seeing their disiress. When they neared the wharf the skiff capsized and gave the three an involuntary ducking in the cold water. It wasrighted and shortly after- ward repeated the performance, but the men at last reached the dock, shivering but thankful. In-the afternoon the Coptic, with a | eoodly number of passengers, satled for Yokongma and Hongkong, by way of Henoluiu. The Columbia arrived at 7| A. M. from Portland, by wav of Astoria, with a cargo of general merchandise and & few passengers. On Wednesday the forty-five-foot flag- pole designed for the new harbor building was placed in position. The huge time- ball, fresh gilded, shone resplendent in the sun. i But yesterday the American flag was run up to the masthead and now flouts proudly to the breeze over the partly com- pleted structure, Captain Gibbs of the Olympic believes that he has located the safe containing the goid buliion which, like McGinty, went “‘to the bottom of the sea’ when the Sunol was run into. by bis vessel. The wrecker Whitelaw, however, was spend- ing ber time yesterday n seprching for the anchor of the ship Angelsey, whick sbe lost here about three weeks ago by the parting of her chain. . The sum of $112 is offered for the anchor. Two _hundred tons of flour were sent down to the wharf for shipment on board the Maweena vrior to the last rainstorm by Hawley Bros., and it is said much of it was damaged by, the storm. Ihe new California House ark, Polly- wog, Captain W. Geisler, with a company of fiudies and gentlemen, started for a pleasure excursion on the bay Wednesday morning, and did_not return till yester- day afternoon. It was feared that the boat had capsized, but it only experienced rough weather. The Harbor Commissioners met in_reg- ular session yesterday afiernoon. Noth- ing'of importance was transacted, but it was decided to meet hereafter only once a week instead of twice as hitherto.

The duties of- janitors are treated of at length, and the Superintendent says that he apprehends that a very liberal con- struciion is put on the words ‘“‘reasonable duties” by some principals. Janitors are required 1o perform reasonab'e services required by the heads of schools in addi- tion to the duties set forth in the rules. “Oraering janitors,’’ continues Mr. Web- ster, "to prepare a hot lunch and then clear away the relics and wash the dishes; to cook during vacation on a public stove with public fuel for private delectation; com pelling a janitor in receipt of less than $40 per month to devote his entire time to the schools, and this without contributing a cent for the service—might be regarded by some as unreasonable duties. “Principals should be considerate in their demands and I trust that this sug- gestion may prove sufficient.”’ ———————— TWO0 OLD RELICS.

Filcher, manager of the State Board of Trade, has secured two valuable curiosities—relics of former days, as it were—that he has added to the exhibit at the headquarters a: 16 Post streef.

Andre grew up among the Alps, and he | earned his living as a guide. He was able, in that capacity, to lay aside some money. A niece of his came to this country same six years ago and married a butcher. She wrote to her uncle such glorious-pic- tures of what fortunes awaited him here that Andre gave up his alpenstock and came to California about four years ago. Mrs. Charles Raulet, proprietor of the Hubbard House, tells the remainder of the story. She says: “‘Celestin Andre thinks the world of his niece, and he came here because she told him to.
