A Sl Judge de Haven of the United States District Court handed down a decision yesterday in the matter of the petition of the river steamer T. C. Walker for a limi- tation of liability In the damage suits in- stituted against it for personal injuries and loss of life caused by the bursting 6f a steam drum on the San Joaquin River November 27, 1898. Jeremiah Daly, a fireman; John T. Tu- lan, captain of the steamer; W. A. Blunt and Luigi Prizzolara, passengers, were killed and Guisseppe Foppiano was in- jured in the accident. The court made the following awards: To Foppiano $2500, to the administratrix of Brizzolara , to the administratrix of Jeremiah Daly $5000 and to the estate of Blunt $2700. Nothing was given to the estate of Cap- tain Tulan. Judge de Haven said there was nothing in the evidence to show that the steam drum, when originally placed in the steamer, wag not in all respects safe and sound. The explosion was Gue to the weak condition of the drum, a leakage in one of the girth seams being observed some time before. When that discovery of the leakage was made a careful exam- ination of the drum should have been had without delay. The failure of the peti- tioner to make such examination was due to the negligence of the engineer and oth- ers of its servants. It was no part of Daly’s duty to have made such examina- tion. No damages were awarded to the estate of Captain Tulan, his brothers and sisters, his only heirs, not having suffered any pecuniary loss by reason of his death, it having been shown that the decedent had not saved any of his money and that he had not been of any pecuniary benefit to them.

R Herrin Says Railroad Line to Portland Is Losing Money. PR R The attorneys in the ofl transportation rate hearing opened their arguments yes- terday morning before the Railroad Com- missioners in this city. Attorney Frank Short. who represents John Le Blane, the plaintiff in the suit, made the opening argument. His line of attack was mostly based on mathematical facts. He quoted figures from the moment he arose almost until he closed late in the afternoon. Dur- ing the time he had the floor, however, he found time to criticize General Mana- ger Kruttschnitt—in fact, from his re- marks, the Railroad Commissioners were led to infer that Kruttschnitt could cast the late C. P. Huntington’s record into the shade at making evasive answers. A few minutes before adjournment T. J. Norton, solicitor for the Santa Fe, opened his argument, but as it was late in the afternoon he will continue at 10 o’clock this morning. During the day some pleasantries were exchanged between Attorneys Short and Herrin, the latter representing the South- ern Pacific. Attorney Short was attémpt- ing to show the Railroad Commissioners that the freight rate between Portland, Or., and San Francisco were much less in comparison than those between Bakers- field and this city. Line of Attack Worries Herrin. This line of attack appeared to worry Attorney Herrin a great deal. “Are you aware of the fact, Mr. Short, that the line between here and Portland is not paying?”’ asked Herrin. ‘The com- pany lost $300,000 on this branch of the system last year.” “No, 1 did not know it,”” replied Short. “What do you think we ought to do? continued Attorney Herrin. ‘“Close down the road?” Attorney Short handed in sheet after sheet of statistics about the present rates in vogue by the Southern Pacific. He claimed that certain industries were being fostered by the railroad, while the oil Lusiness, as J. C. Stubbs is reported “all the traffic stood would bear.” Attorney Short declared that unless the Railroad Commissioners at once took steps to see that the price of hauling ofl from Bakersficld to this city was reduced and the ofl industry would be abandoned. Attorney Norton spoke for a few min- utes. His first argument was that, had the case been taken to a court of justice instead of to the Railroad Commissioners, he would have at once demanded that it be dismissed. His grounds for the re- quest of the dismissal would have been, 80 he stated, that the plaintiff would have to prove that the reduction in the freight rate would be of benefit to him. Norton Criticizes Short’s Methods. Norton continued by saying that in his experience In the legal profession he had never seen less testimony presented by a plaintiff’s attorney than in the oil rate case. He said that the attorney for the plaintiff had brought forward no wit- nesses, but had simply spent all his time contradicting the evidence that the rail- road attorneys had presented. He compared the complaint of John Le Blanc in a jocular manner to those of the “two tailors of Tooley street” London. He said that these two fussy tallors filed complaints with Parliament in which they stated that they represented the English people. So Le Blanc claimed to repre- sent the oil producers. “Short said that Le Blanc complained about the ‘spur’ charges,” sald Norton, ‘“‘yet as an actual fact this man Le Blanc’s land is not sit- | uated on the spur, and he consequently has no grievance on that ground. Norton | to see the present rate from Bakersfield | redaced, they would have shown enough | interest in the case to be present at the hearing. The case will reopen this rporning at 10 o'clock. : SMUGGLED GOODS FOUND ON OCEAN STEAMERS Ten Thousand Gigars, a Barrel of Old Cognac and Silk Shawls & Seized. Jose Araza, a member of the erew of the Guatemala, walked down the gang- plank yesterday with a two-gallon milk can in his hand whistling an aria from “The Pirates of Penzance.” He was over- hauled by Customs Inspector Enlow. who found in the can two silk-embroidered shawls and one dozen fancy silk handker- chiefs. Wrapped around Araza's body next the skin were two more shawls of the same kind and another dozen hand- kerchiefs. The goods were seized as smug- gled, and Araza, being allowed to go on board the vessel, secreted himself and couid not be found. Later on a Search warrant was issued ‘to enable the officers to search the steamer for him and take him into custody on a charge of smug- gling. Ten thousand smuggled clgars and 125 quart bottles of old cognac were seized on board the Serapis from Hamburg. They were secreted in the cook’s quar- ters.

Who has not had the colic—why, nearly everybody has at some time or other, especially at this time of the year, during the fruit season. But because it'is a popular complaint is no reason any one wants it. In fact, the first thing you ought to do is to get rid of it, and the medicine that will help you get rid of it is Halpruner's Wonderful Pain Remover. It is a splen- did medicine for colic, cholera, cholera morbus, pleurisy, indigestion, dyspep- sia, dysentery and diarrhea. In fact, it is the only medicine made that will cure these complaints immediately and per- manently without injuring the system. Some people may doubt this, but it does not alter the facts one bit. If you have such complaints, don’t let any one talk you out of buying Dr. Halpruner’s Wonderful Pain Remover. It is a medi- cine that will immediately relieve you and you will make a mistake if you take anything else. All druggists sell it— price 50 cents and $1 a bottle. Stomach pains come with a run and a jump—all of a sud- den they light and then you are all curled up in a lump. Suffering like—well, like no one likes to suffer. Now don’t be foolish—don’t let your prejudice against a patent medicine keep you from getting rid of your pain at once. Go or send to the nearest druggist for a bottle of Dr, Halpruner’s Pain Re- mover—take a tablespoonful in a glass of water or milk and in two seconds the pain will be gone and you can straighten out. Some people may sneer at this, but that doesn’t interfere in the least bit with the cura- tive powers of Dr. Halprun- er's Pain Remover—the fact Temains that it is a remarkably quick and effective remedy for all complaints and disturb- ances of the digestive system.
