STANFORD’S NIECES AND NEPHEWS WIN SUPREME COURT PASSES ON TAXING INHERITANCES.

No mention of the statute of limitation is made by the lawyers handling these cases, but the nightmare of endless liti- gation is allowed to do ifs work on the mind of the timid owner of the property. For some tlme past_ this sort of pra tice has been dropped, la: sult of the United States District Court decision delivered by Justice Field, put- ting a quietus on these antiquated claims, but it now seems that the memory of the court’s decision has sufficiently faded away to allow the lawyers interested in this sort of business to resume opera- | tions. On August 3 David Houston of N York, through his attorney, John K. | Moore, deeded by quit-claim to Michael | MecCann a trifle of four blocks of San Francisco real estate, Nos. 248, 251, 252 and 263, for the sum of $2000, or just $500 per block. Since then various quit-claims to blocks have been given to local par- ties. Yesterday afternoon the latest paper of this class was presented for record. It was from the same David Houston of New York, through Attorney Moore, to Charles G. Butler, for the block bounded by. Alma, Clayton, Rivoli and Cole streets, the usual consideration of 3500 being named.

About two weeks ago Mr. Sullivan was missed by the coursing contingent. e then fell from the paths that leashmen frequent. The cause of his absence was not then known, and none of his old-time pals of the heathier hazarded a dream that Sullivan_was soon to withdraw from the geme which he had helpea to make so | popular. The sale of his hounds to his | uncle, P. J. G. Kenna, came as a surp:ise | to_them. Sullivan has been an _extravagant patronizer of the sport. New kennels at the Union Park and new kennels at Menlo | consumed a great deal of his spare money | and all of his time. The dogs drew heav- | ily on his_purse strings. At Menlo Park he erected the most modern improved | kennels and everything appertaining | thereto. Trainers and keepers were su plied and every detail cetved full at- tention.

Where Emmet V. Sullivan has gone to none of the coursing men seem to know. They fear that he i3 out of the sport f all time and that his dogs may not be in- dividualized as members of the great Sul- livan kennels in the future. 4 Emmet V.

Under the new schedule for the lighting of the public -‘reets with the San Fran- cisco Gag and Electric.Company all of the principal business streets of the down- town portion of the city will have elec- tric lights substituted for the sickly flicker that now blurrs and blinks with every passing breeze. The following are the thoroughiares | upon which the electric lights will be placed, as also the number of lights to be placed on each street or avenue desig- nated: On Market street from the ferries to Valencia street will aggregate fifty in number and twenty-two on Van Ness avenue, from Market | street to Broadway, to be located alternately | on each side of said street and avenue, on or- namental iron poles not excesding twenty-five feet in height. Golden Gate avenue from Market to Devisa- dero street; Folsom street, from Third to Twenty-sixth street: Kearny and Montgomery streets, from Market to Broadway; Grant ave- nue, from Market to Bush; and Dupont, from Broadway to Greenwich street; Stockton street, from Market to Sutter street, and from Pacific to Union street: Montgomery avenue, from Pacific to Chestnut street; Third and Fourth streets, from Market Townsend; Fifth street. from Market to Bryant street: and on Sixth street, from Market to Brannan street. The lights on these streets are to be| 2000-candle power, either suspended from | cross wires over the streets or on masts | forty feet high. The Supervisors hold the power to or- streets wherever deemed necessary. This will no doubt apply to Ingleside, Sunnyside, Sunset Valley, Richmond and other outlying sec- additional lights. Polk street residents will be honored by having the first lights | placed over their thoroughfare, as they were the pioneers in starting the “mid- dle-of-the-street” electric lights. e The Way of the Transgressor.

The indoor cycling tournament which was hinted at in the cycling columns of this paper some th.ce months since is at length to become a reality. The first two weeks in November have been seleczed as the time for holding the tournament, and Mechanic~' Pavilion the place. The eight-lap board track which was used during the indoor meet of 1895 will be slightly remodeled and again placed in position. The preserc~ of the best of Eastern talent is assured, as the American Racing and Cycling Association, under whose management the tournament will be held, Qo;sesses cast-iron contracts with Jimm Michael, “Major” Taylor, Eddie McDuf- fee, Tom Linton, Ed Taylore, Charles Church, Frank otarbuck, I'. J. Titus and other riders, aggregating nearly fifty in number. Jay Eaton will also be among the talent. His riding while in this city last year made him a favorite. These men will be acompanied by their own trainers and will come West in special cars. The men while here will be under the direct managemtnt of Samuel T. Mott, though Aif Ellinghouse, the theatrical maneger, will have charge of the tourna- ment. A question of jurisdiction is likely to arise when it comes to arrangine for amateur races to be run in conjunction with the professional races, as proposed.

The lawyers who seek to.disquiet. ti- tles to San Francisco property by rak- ing up anclent Spanish and ' Mexican claims are again In evidence in this city, as is shown by the almost daily filing of quit-claim deeds during the past two weeks from certain Eastern parties to various property-owners here, giving up all right, title and interest in whole blocks of San Francisco real estate for the nominal sum of $500 in each case. It is pot in evidence that the purchasers of these quit-claims paid in every case $500 for their papers, but the lawyers' public price is the sum quoted. : The old-time practice has been to work upon the fears of small property-owners, who have no means to fight law suits, and to tell them that the safest thing to do, to avert all trouble in the future, is to purchase a quit-claim from the de- l_poendu Spanish ts of the old Property Owners | - . | questien of extradition will require the construction and interpretation of provi- | sions of the constitution and laws of the United States and the decision upon this | estion may be demanded from the Fed- efal courts if it is desired. “If it should be concluded that the courts of Delaware have jurisdiction of trial over the offense which is now charged In the courts of that State, it is by no means clear that the process of | | interstate extradition could be accom- | plished. “‘As 1 understand it the Supreme Court of the United States has held it neces- sary to the extradition of an accused per- son from one State to another that the terms of the article of the Federal con- stitution from which proceeding s de- | rived must be construed in its entirety | and that the essential elcment contained in the article of the constitution must exist before the extradition can be carried out. That is to sag'. a person to be ex- tradited from one State to another must have been in the State seeking extradi- tion and has fled from that State and is a fugitive from justice.” MAY DELAY EXTRADITION Delaware Offl_(;als to Collect the Affidavits Wanted by Lees. DOVER, Del., Aug. 2.—The demands of the San Francisco police for additional affidavits will cause a further delay in the bringing of Mrs. Botkin East. The telegram from the Chief of Police of San Franclsco was recelved by Attorney Gen- eral White at his home in Georgetown this afternoon, and he telegraphed that he would be here to-morrow to prepare all of the additional material that 1Is necessary to comply with the new de- mands. The requisition papers were sent away vesterday by registered letter, addressed to State Detective McVey, who will arrive in San Francisco Sunday. The only docu- ments accompnn{lnghthe requisition were the certificate of the Dsguty Attorney General and the warrant of arrest sworn to by ex-Congressman Pennin~ton, the father of the two murdered women. The only other material in the hands of McVey is the attested transcript of the evidence taken béfore the Coroner's jury. This includes the testimony of the phy- siclans who attended the women, w¥uch covers much of the ground specified by the San Francisco Chief of FPolice. It will now be necessary for the Attorney General to coliect the afidavits of Post. master Gooden, who received the polsoned Puket, little Harry Pennington, who took t to the house, and the others that were made {ll by eating the candy. These can all be prgeured in a single day, and they will be forwarded to San Francisco not later than to-morrow evening. k Pope Leo Very Weak.'

This was followed by the exhibition of stereopticon views, including those of the heroes of the war with Spain. They were loudly a.gpla.uded. but nooe so much so as that of Dewey. After Chairman Morrison took the chair there were presented many numbers by talent from the local theaters, and for more than two hours there was interest- ing and entertaining amusement for all. During the evening a_ collation and re- freshments were served. —_————— NEGLECTED HIS FAMILY. Julius Noisat Gets Six Months for Failure to Provide. Julius Noisat, a big, burly blacksmith, was sent to the County Jail for six months yesterday on the charge of fafl- ure to provide for his children. Evidence was given showing that Noi- sat had not been providing for his fam- ily for two or three years, and his chil- dren had to go around to restaurants in the neighborhood of Broadway, where they lived, with baskets and beg for food. Mrs. Noifsat and one of her boys could not be brought to court to testify, as they were in rags. Noisat had been living with a woman named Mrs. Mary Smith at 301 Montgomery avenue while his wife and children were starving. Judge Conlan in sentencing the defensl— ant said it was one of the worst cases that had come before him. He regretted that the law did not allow him to send Noisat to San Quentin. —_—— CLEVER BOXERS MATCHED. Green and McConnell Will Fight Twenty Rounds on September 23.
