He closed his address with a trib- | ute to the State of California, the adopted home of his auditors. A musical pr | gramme was rendered by Professor Luey, Miss Tooley, Miss Riley, Mrs. Breedlove, | Mrs. Amrath, Messrs. Larsen, Willlams | and others.

The Supreme Court handed down a de- cislon yesterday partly reversing the judgment of the lower court in the now famous sult of the city and county of San Francisco against John Center and other residents, who Were iInterested in the property known as Mission Creek. The city was successful in the lower court, but twg of the defendants, Georges, and Eugene Le Roy, appealed and they were successful. The city flled sult on November 29, 1886, to recover possession of the strip of lan extending from Ninth to Eighteenth streets, which was formerly known as Mission Creek. Among the defendants, of whom there were a large number, were Georges and Eugene Le Roy, who claimed ownership in _and possession of the land in question. Judgment was given against the Le Roys. except as to a small sized tract about 25 feet square, which is situ- ated at the southeast corner of Alameda and Columbia streets. From that portion of the judgment in favor of the city the Le Roys appealed. The opinion rendered is a lengthy one and deals with the testimony offered at the hearing in the lower court. In grant- ing the new trial the court said: “IFor the reasons given in the foregoing opinion the judgment and order are re- Versed and a new trial ordered as to ap- pellants, to be had upon the evidence al- ready taken and such other evidence as plaintiff or appellants or either of them may wish to offer, and as to all other de- fendants the judgment is affirmed.”” —_———————— Darby Laydon Convicted.

Peter F.

Hardin, a local contractor, resid- ing at 1505 Sherman street, has picked up his abode and moved to the other ex- tremity of his lot. Several times Hardin has sought to have the fist of the law of his noisy neighbor, but he has never been able to accomplish anything. So he decided that, as distance lends enchantment, he would put as much distance between himself and the other man as his limited area of real estate would permit. He moved his house thirty feet, and says that it will cost him $200 before he gets through with the job. a MARCUS DALY'S WILL | MAY BE CONTESTED Inmate of Soldiers’ Home Says Be} Was & Brother of the Montana | Millionaire. | NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—While an amica- | ble agreement has been entered into by the beneficiark y which is satisfactory to all, it is_firmly believed by those most inter- ested that a contest of the will is certain. Alleged relatives of the late copper king are appearing in various sections of the country, and all are casting envious eyes on the millions sqon to be distributed. Unless an unexpected delay occurs the will left by Marcus Daly will be filed in Montana Wednesda: At the same time | letters of ancillary administration will be | applied for here and the estate will be | managed from this city. It was impossible to-day to obtain any exact information concerning the amount of the Daly fortune, but from a man who has for years been on terms of intimate friendship with Daly, Clark and Haggin it was learned that from $15,000,000 to $18,000.- | 1 000 would be turned over to the benefici- arles. This is about $5,000,000 less than | Mr. Daly was reputed to' be worth before his death. Rev. Peter Daly, now an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home in Hot Springs, S. D., will probably begin a contest. It is said that he only recently learned that he was a brother of Marcus Daly. The knowledge came to him while reading a biography | of Marcus Daly published In connection with a death notice. He knew that he had a brother Marcus, but they had sep- arated when boys in Ireland and had lost | all track of each other. | Peter Daly had often heard of the won- derful wealth of Marcus Daly of Mon- | tana, but had never for _an instant sup- | posed that his brother Marcus was the modern Croesus. Peter Daly during his active career served as pastor of three Methodist churches in this State. | - VICTIMS OF WOUNDS AND DISEASE IN ISLANDS General MacArthur Sends War De- partment Late List of 5 Casualties.

VICTORIA, Dec. 10.—News was brought by thesteamer Queen City, which returned from the west coast this afternoon, of the finding of & quantity of wreckage at Car- manah by W. Daykin, the lighthouse keeper at Carmanah light. The wreckage consists of the broken piece of a name- board with the letters and figures “A L 62, evidently the end of the name of the craft from whieh it had come. The board was painted red and the letters were yel- | low. A great quantity of small tongued and grooved lumber painted white was found, evidently part of the housework of some vessel; a piece of the gunwale of a boat, several oars, a great many empty cases and four Iife belts marked -8 8 San Pedro.” | As the steamemSan Pedro was several years ago blown up from where she lay for years on Brotchie Ledge by T.
