WELLS, RICHARDSON & Co., Errington VT. KIDNEY-WORT WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1882. DECISIONS. NOTES AND MORTGAGE—DECEPTION. When the defendants have given in evidence a note and mortgage in defense of the action, the plaintiff may show without pleading it that the plaintiff was unable to read English, and that the instruments were intentionally misread by the defendant as maturing in three years instead of two, after date, as stated therein, and such facts will render the note and mortgage absolutely void. Neilson and wife vs Schukmann et al., Superior Court of Wisconsin. OFFICIAL BOND. An official bond given by a sheriff run to "the people of the State of Nebraska," while the statute required it to run to the county for which he was elected. Held that this was a mere irregularity of which neither the sheriff nor his surets could take advantage in an action on the bond. In such an action, for an injury occasioned by negligently making an unauthorized arrest, the issues are to be determined by the preponderance of the evidence, as in other civil cases. Kopplekam vs Hoffman, Superior Court of Nebraska. PARTNERSHIP. If N. furnished money to P. to conduct business, and the latter was to let him have goods at cost prices, and nothing was said as to interest or profits and losses, this would amount to a loan, and would not constitute N. and P. partners. If P. represented to S. that he was a partner of N., and so told N. of such representation from other shares of the same corporation and issue. The certificates bearing dates and numbers are but evidence of title. Hubbel vs Drexel and Co., Circuit Court of United States, East District, Pennsylvania. HUSBAND AND WIFE. A husband used property of his wife to pay for real estate purchased by him, and he conveyed to her an interest in that real estate in payment of his debt to her. His creditors brought suit to set aside this conveyance, as made in fraud of their rights. Held, that as the husband was his wife's debtor, there was no legal impediment to his making payment to her if there was no actual fraud. If she has been guilty of any deception or artifice to conceal her claim, and the creditors have thereby been mislead, she cannot hold the property. But she, no more than other creditors, will be estopped from asserting her claim because she has failed to proclaim it. Hyde vs Powell, Supreme Court of Michigan. Matrimonial Stories. At a recent fashionable wedding, after the departure of the happy pair, a dear little girl, whose papa and mamma were among the guests, asked, with a child's innocent inquisitiveness: "Why do they throw things at the pretty lady in the carriage?" "For luck, dear," replied one of the bridesmaids. "And why," again asked the child, "doesn't she throw them back?" "Oh," said the younger lady, "that would be rude." EXPERT CRITICISM. The Glaring Fault that the Horse Reporter Discovered in a Love Story. From the Chicago Tribune. "Good day, gentlemen." A very nice-looking young man stood in the doorway of the editorial room and gazed in a benign way at the occupants of the apartment. "Would it be possible for me to sell the Tribane a story?" he continued. "What kind of a story have you ground out?" asked the horse reporter. "The story," said the visitor, "is one in which the triumph of love is depicted, and——" "It isn't one of those 'and as Ethel stood there in the soft moonlight, her lithe figure sharply outlined against the western sky, there was a loud crash in Coastcliff Castle, and the girl knew that her mother had dropped the doughnut jar' kind of stories, is it—because they won't do," said the horse reporter. "There is nothing at all about doughnuts in this story," replied the visitor, rather haughtily, "but if you like I can read a portion of it." "All right." Where shall I begin? Anywhere," replied the horse reporter. "Suppose you give us the last sentence of it." "I should hardly think——" "Oh, never mind about that. We do all PARTNERSHIP. If N. furnished money to P. to conduct business, and the latter was to let him have goods at cost prices, and nothing was said as to interest or profits and losses, this would amount to a loan, and would not constitute N. and P. partners. If P. represented to S. that he was a partner of N., and so told N. of such representations, and the latter acquiesced in them by silence or otherwise, N. would be liable as a partner, and his liability would date from the making of such representations or the first credit given thereunder. — Shade vs. Etheridge, Supreme Court of Georgia. DOWER RIGHTS. A conveyance of the legal title to real estate, made by a husband with the design of enjoying the property during his life, and passing it, on his death, to a voluntary dowee, discharged of his wife's dower, will be treated as a conveyance in fraud of her right of dower, and dower will be admeasured to her as if the conveyance had not been made. Nor can a husband indirectly accomplish his design of depriving his wife of dower by taking a conveyance of real estate, purchased with his own money, to himself for life, remainder to his child. — Creelius vs. Horst et al., St. Louis Court of Appeals. CONTRACT. A contract to sell 96,000 acres of wild lands and different grades and values lying substantially in a body, at an average price of $1 per acre, to be conveyed and paid for as and when the same is conveyed and patented to the grantee by the United States, is not as many distinct contracts as there may be conveyances and payments in pursuance thereof, but only one entire contract thereof, and therefore the vendor's lien for any portion of the purchase money thereof remaining unpaid extends to and may be enforced against the whole tract. — Coos Bay Wagon Company vs Crocker, United States Circuit Court, District of Oregon. LEASE. A lease contained among the lessee's covenants that the lessee, his executors, administrators and permitted assigns should not assign or underlease the premises comprised in the lease without the previous consent in writing of the lessor. "but such consent may not be queriously withheld." Held, the latter words did not amount by implication to a covenant on the part of the lesser not to withhold his consent when the proposed assignee or under-lessor was a solvent and respectable person, but that if such consent were unreasonably withheld, the lessee might assign or under-let without the lessor's consent. — Sears vs The House P. and I. Co., English Court of Chancery. INKEEPERS AND GUESTS. An action was brought against an innkeeper for loss of jewelry from the rooof of plaintiffs, husband and wife, his guests, by robbery at night. MICHIGAN. Matrimonial Stories. At a recent fashionable wedding, after the departure of the happy pair, a dear little girl, whose papa and mamma were among the guests, asked, with a child's innocent inquisitiveness: "Why do they throw things at the pretty lady in the carriage?" "For luck, dear," replied one of the bridesmaids. "And why," again asked the child, "doesn't she throw them back?" "Oh," said the young lady, "that would be rude." "No, it wouldn't," persisted the dear little thing to the delight of her doting parents who stood by, "ma does." "Do you pretend to have as good a judgment as I have?" said an euraged wife to her husband. "Well, no," he replied deliberatively: "our choice of partners for life shows that my judgment is not to be compared with yours." In matters of controversy, however, the woman usually has the best of it. A witty old author advises men to avoid arguments with ladies, because in spinning yarns among silks and satins, a man is sure to be wostred and twisted; and when a man is wostred and twisted he may consider himself wound up. The above report might be matched by a dozen others culled from domestic controversy, in which the woman has come off triumphant. "Really, my dear," said a friend of ours to his better half, "you have sadly disappointed me. I once considered you a jewel of a woman; but you've turned out only a bit of matrimonial paste." "Then my love," was the reply, "console yourself with the idea that paste is very adhesive, and in this case will stick to you as long as you live." "See here," said a fault-finding husband, "we must have things arranged in this house so that we shall know where everything is kept." "With all my heart," sweetly answered his wife, "and let us begin with your late hours, my love. I should dearly love to know where they are kept." He let things run on as usual. It is not often however that one comes across such a crushing retort as that which a Sheffield husband received from his wife the other day through the medium of the public press. He advertised in one of the local journals that he, Thomas A.—, would no longer be answerable for the debts incurred by his wife, who seems to have been a truly amiable creature, if one may judge by the advertisement which she published next day in reply: "This is to notify that I, Elizabeth A.—, am able to pay all my own debts now that I have got shut of Tommy." Some husbands would be obliged to confess, if they told the plain, unwarnished truth, that when they led their wives to the altar their leadership came to an end. "Your future husband seems very exacting; he has been stipulating for all sorts of things," said a mother to her daughter who was on the point of being married. "Never mind, mamma," said the affectionate girl, who was already dressed for the welding; these are his last wishes." This is a com-dropped the doughnut jar kind of stories, is it—because they won't do," said the horse reporter. "There is nothing at all about doughnuts in this story," replied the visitor, rather haughtily, "but if you like I can read a portion of it." "All right." "Where shall I begin?" "Anywhere," replied the horse reporter. "Suppose you give us as the last sentence of it." "I should hardly think——" "Oh, never mind about that. We do all the thinking for young authors that come up here." The visitor seated himself and road as follows: "For answer Gladys' beautiful eyes dropped, but she gave him both her hands, and there, under the heavy fruited trees, the golden bees flying all about them, and the air filled with their dreamy monotone, he drew her upon his breast, and raising her long ringlets to his lips, kissed them reverently." "That's the last sentence is it?" asked the horse reporter. "Yes, sir." "I should hope it was. It makes me tired to read about such ducks." "Why, I don't see——," began the author. "Of course you don't. Probably you were the hero of the novel. Did you ever hear of Thompson's colt?" The visitor admitted his ignorance concerning that historical animal. "Well, Thompson's colt," continued the horse reporter, "was such an eternal idiot that he swam across the river to get a drink. Now, that fellow in your story is a dead match for him." "I don't understand——" "Probably not. It is not to be expected of literary people. But I will tell you; this young fellow in your story is out under an apple tree holding a girl's hands, isn't he?" "Yes." And according to the story, he raised her long ringlets to his lips, and kissed them reverently. That's right? "Certainly." Now what do you think of a young man that would go nibbling around a girl's back hair when she had her face with her? Such stories do not possess the fidelity to nature that should ever characterize the work of genius. No, my genial imbecile; you cannot get the weight of this powerful journal on the side of any such young man as your story depicts. We were once young and up to the apple-tree ricket ourselves." "Good day," said the author, starting for the door. "So long," was the response. "Make George act like a white man in your story,and come around again." Cost of a Vineyard. In reply to questions asked by Mr. L. M. Holt with regard to the cost of establishing a wine vineyard and bringing it to fruition,a prominent vineyardist of this county says: The cost of plowing well and deeply the soil,pulverizing it well,marking out the spaces,and planting the vines,and the after care and cultivation of the same until the fourth year will cost about forty-five dollars Held, the latter words did not amount by implication to a covenant on the part of the lessor not to withhold his consent when the proposed assignee or under-lessor was a solvent and respectable person, but that if such consent were unreasonably withheld, the lessee might assign or under-let without the lessor's consent.—Sears vs The House P. and I. Co., English Court of Chancery. INNKEEPERS AND GUESTS. — An action was brought against an innkeeper for loss of jewelry from the room of plaintiffs, husband and wife, his guests, by robbery at night. The defence was that the plaintiffs were negligent—first in not belting the door, and in leaving the key on the outside. Secondly, because the wife wore the same evening conspicently at dinner some of the jewelry that was stolen. And last because the articles themselves instead of being deposited in some safe place were left lying carelessly about the room. The jury found for the defendant, and the court declined to disturb their verdict.—Herbert vs Markwell, Court of Queen's Bench. COMMON CARRIER. — A passenger bought a ticket from one point to another and return on the line of a railroad. She went to the place, but when she started to return the conductor informed her on entering the car that she could not return on that ticket, and would have to pay her fare. She thereupon left the train and remained until the next train upon which she returned home without extra charge. She sued the railroad company. Held that the suit was founded on a breach of contract and actual damages only could be recovered. Or, if none, then nominal damages. Exemplary damages can not be allowed for a breach of contract.—Going vs The Western Railroad Company of Alabama, Supreme Court of Georgia. DEBTOR AND CREDITOR. — The pledgee of stocks, in the absence of a specific agreement to the contrary, is entitled to transfer the stocks into his own name. When so transferred the particular stocks become indistinguishable from the great mass of other stock, and the pledger has no right to demand the return of any particular certificates. It is enough if the pledgee have at all times shares sufficient in number to answer the pledger's demand upon the repayment of the loan. A share of stock is without car-marks and cannot be distinguished which she published next day in reply: "This is to notify that I, Elizabeth A., am able to pay all my own debts now that I have got shut of Tommy." Some husbands would be obliged to confess, if they told the plain, unwarnished truth, that when they led their wives to the altar their leadership came to an end. "Your future husband seems very exacting; he has been stipulating for all sorts of things," said a mother to her daughter who was on the point of being married. "Never mind, mamma," said the affectionate girl, who was already dressed for the welding, "these are his last wishes." This is a complete reversal of the rule laid down by the old couplet: Man, love thy wife; thy husband, wife, obey Wives are our heart; we should be head always In many instances, the state of the case is rather something like the following: "If I don't home from the party to-night by ten o'clock," says the husband to his better and bigger half, "don't wait for me." "That I won't," replies the lady, significantly; "I won't wait, but I'll come for you." He is home by ten o'clock precisely.—Chamber's Journal. The following curious story is from the Genera Courier of New York. A short time ago a family of Danish immigrants, consisting of a man with his wife and five children, arrived at that place on their way to a prominent lunatic asylum in the vicinity. The sister of the man had written to him in Denmark, from this State, saying that she was living in a large house, and now owned a handsome property, which she was willing to share with him and his family if they would come to America. Relying upon these statements, he sold out all his household goods and brought his family across the Atlantic, confidently expecting a rich and hospitable reception at the luxurious home of his sister. His astonishment and grief were great indeed when, upon arriving at his destination, he found that the poor woman was really an inmate of an asylum for the pauper insane, and was deemed by the authorities to be incurable. His money was nearly all gone, and it is pleasant to learn that the officers of the asylum were charitable enough to provide him with work for a time, in order that his family might not starve. Australia suffered from drouth last year. In one district of New South Wales a "run" which carried 30,000 sheep last year had but 5,000 when mustered this season, and this was no isolated case. Meat rose from two cents to twelve cents a pound. A correspondent writes: "owing to the tropical nature of the country, cattle breeders will never compete with the Americans or New Zealand." Cost of a Vineyard. In reply to questions asked by Mr. L. M. Holt with regard to the cost of establishing a wine vineyard and bringing it to fruition, a prominent vineyardlist of this county says: The cost of plowing well and deeply the soil, pulverizing it well, marking out the spaces, and planting the vines, and the after care and cultivation of the same until the fourth year will cost about forty-five dollars per acre. This includes the cost of the cuttings, at a price of five dollars per thousand. From established vineyards of maturer age, the year's income per acre should be eighty dollars per acre; grapes estimated at twenty dollars per ton of two thousand pounds. On some vineyards this quota is not obtained, while on many others that have received superior care and cultivation the yield is far in excess of these estimates. I desire in answering such questions as you have asked of me, to state the average yield of an entire section over a period of years, and not assume the result of one man's experience to be the average production of the entire country, in good, bad or indifferent years. I can see no reason to entertain any fears that this business will be "overdone" in this State "so as to make it non-remunerative." While are valleys are rich and wide-spreading, our hill sides, covering an immense area from Sierra Nevada mountains to the Mojave desert, all seemingly well adapted to the growth of at least some of the varieties of grapes; and while they are capable of producing an enormous yield in wines and brandies, still I believe the American nation is large enough to consume all we can make in the future. New York, Dec. 6th. — A company is about to be organized to buy and improve a tract of land in the city of Mexico, lying on both sides of the Paso de la Reforma, which extends virtually from the center of City to the Castle of Chapultepec. The tract comprises more than 50,000 ordinary city lots. The price to be paid is $50,000,000 part of which was paid recently in the city of Mexico, and the remainder is to be paid in this city about the middle of this month, on the arrival of Senor Salvado Malo, former owner of the land. It is the purpose of the new owners to improve the property by building houses ranging from $16,000 to $20,000 in value along the Paso, and also a large American hotel. The banks of City of Mexico will take mortgages on the houses, at 6 per cent, and by agreement with the President of the Republic the property and all improvements made on it will be exempt from taxation for ten years. MAGAZETTE. NOBER 16, 1882. LIFE SAVING SERVICE. Only Twelve Lives Lost During the Year out of 2,396 Impertled. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The General Superintendent of the Life Saving Service reports that the establishment embraced at the close of the fiscal year 190 stations, 145 being on the Atlantic, 37 on the Lakes, 7 on the Pacific, and 1 at the falls of the Ohio, Louisville, Ky. The number of disasters to documented vessels within the field of station operations during the year was 287. There were 2,268 persons on board these vessels, of whom 2,256 were saved and only twelve lost. The number of the shipwrecked who required succor at the stations was 450, and to these 1,334 day's relief in the aggregate was afforded. The estimated value of the vessels involved in these disasters was $3,265,830, and that of their cargoes $1,492,-072, making the total value of property imperilled $4,757,892. Of this amount $3,099,-537 was saved, and $1,658,355 lost. The number of disasters involving the total destruction of vessels was 67. In addition to the foregoing there have been 58 instances of disaster to small craft, on which were 128 persons, all of whom were saved. 39 persons were also rescued who had fallen from wharves and piers, who would have certainly been drowned but for the assistance rendered by life saving crews. The investigations held in each case show that the 12 personal lost during the year were entirely beyond the reach of human aid. The as- A Fifteen-Million Dollar Fire. LONDON, Dec. 8th.—Last night's fire was the greatest that has occurred in London since the celebrated Tooley-street fire. The whole block between London Wall, Philip lane, Addle and Wood streets, except the warehouse at the corner of London Walb has been destroyed. The fire is not yet fully subdued, and the remainder of the block is still in danger. It is believed eight persons are injured, some seriously. Foster Porter & Co. had a stock of silk goods which alone is estimated to have been worth £60,-000. The Salvage Corps has succeeded in saving a large amount of goods. The walls of the warehouse burned on Wood street and Philip lane fell into the roadway with a crash like that of thunder, filling the streets with burning debris. At 10 A.M. the engines were still pouring immense volumes of water on the ruins, and the fire was under control. The burned area is over two acres. One fireman was killed by the falling walls. The total loss is now estimated at £3,000,-000. Late to-might the ruins were still smoldering and streams from twenty hydrants were pouring on them. Eight hundred people are thrown out of employment.

The shaft is 1,576 feet deep. From its bottom, almost a third of a mile down, 200 cars, holding four tons each, are lifted every day. They are run upon a platform, and the whole weight of six tons is hoisted at a speed that makes the head swim, the time occupied in lifting a full car being a little more than a minute. The hoisting and lowering of men into coal population by law in that State, and perilled $4,757,892. Or this amount $3,003,537 was saved, and $1,658,355 lost. The number of disasters involving the total destruction of vessels was 67. In addition to the foregoing there have been 58 instances of disaster to small craft, on which were 128 persons, all of whom were saved. 39 persons were also rescued who had fallen from wharves and piers, who would have certainly been drowned but for the assistance rendered by life saving crews. The investigations held in each case show that the 12 persons lost during the year were entirely beyond the reach of human aid. The assistance rendered in saving vessels and cargoes has been very great this year, 238 vessels having been worked off when stranded, piloted out of dangerous places, repaired when damaged, or assisted in similar ways by the station crews. There were besides 76 instances when vessels running into danger of stranding were warned off by the night signals of the patrols, thus probably saving most of them from partial loss or destruction. The report records the fact that the Life Saving Service has been in operation under the present system four complete decades, and gives the results in the following: Number of disasters 1,692 Value of property involved $29,278,219 Value of property saved 18,094,992 Value of property lost 11,213,317 Number of persons involved 14,790 Number of persons saved 14,233 Number of persons lost 407 Number of shipwrecked persons recovered at stations 3,060 Number of days' succor afforded 8,384 It should be remembered that during the first year of the decade the service was limited to the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey, and up to 1874 to these coasts and that of Cape Cod added, while since that time the development has been gradual over other portions of the sea and lake coasts. It should also be considered that in the number of lives lost the service is fairly entitled to a reduction of 183, being the number lost at the wrecks of the Huron and Metropolis, on one of which occasions the stations were closed under the law, and on the other service was impeded by distance. Since the general extension of the Life Saving Service to all portions of the coast in 1876, the loss of life from marine disasters has been reduced nearly 75 per cent—that is to say, that while in 1876 and prior to that time one person was lost out of every 29 on vessels suffering disaster, there has been a constant decrease, until now there is but one person lost out of every 113, and this result is shown to be almost entirely due to the Life Saving stations. The deepest coal mine in America is the Pottsville, in Pennsylvania. The shaft is 1,576 feet deep. From its bottom, almost a third of a mile down, 200 cars, holding four tons each, are lifted every day. They are run upon a platform, and the whole weight of six tons is hoisted at a speed that makes the head swim, the time occupied in lifting a full car being a little more than a minute. The hoisting and lowering of men into coal population by law in that State, and perilled $4,757,892. Or this amount $3,003,537 was saved, and $1,658,355 lost. The number of disasters involving the total destruction of vessels was 67. In addition to the foregoing there have been 58 instances of disaster to small craft, on which were 128 persons, all of whom were saved. 39 persons were also rescued who had fallen from wharves and piers, who would have certainly been drowned but for the assistance rendered by life saving crews. The investigations held in each case show that the 12 persons lost during the year were entirely beyond the reach of human aid. The assistance rendered in saving vessels and cargoes has been very great this year, 238 vessels having been worked off when stranded, piloted out of dangerous places, repaired when damaged, or assisted in similar ways by the station crews. There were besides 76 instances when vessels running into danger of stranding were warned off by the night signals of the patrols, thus probably saving most of them from partial loss or destruction.

The deepest coal mine in America is the Pottsville, in Pennsylvania. The shaft is 1,576 feet deep. From its bottom, almost a third of a mile down, 200 cars hold four tons each, are lifted every day. They are run upon a platform, and the whole weight of six tons is hoisted at a speed that makes the head swim, the time occupied in lifting a full car being a little more than a minute. The hoisting and lowering of men into coal mines is regulated by law in that State, and only ten can stand on a platform at once under penalty of a heavy fine. However, carolessness cannot be prevented, and unacustomed visitors are appalled by it. "A person of weak nerves," says a correspondent, "should not brave the ordeal by descending the Pottsville shaft." The machinery works as smooth as a hotel elevator, but the speed is so terrific that one seems falling through the air. The knees after a few seconds become weak and tremulous, the ears ring as the drums of the organs are forced inward by the air pressure, and the eyes shut involuntarily as the beams of the shaft seem to dash upward only a foot or two away. As one leaves the light of the upper day the transition to darkness is fantastic. The light does not pass into gloom in the same fashion as our day merges into night, but there is a kind of phosphorescent glow, gradually becoming dimmer and dimmer. Half way down you pass, with a roar and sudden crash, the ascending car; and at last, after what seems several minutes, but is only a fraction of that time, the platform begins to slow up, balts at a gate, and through it you step into a crowd of creatures with the shapes of men; but with the blackened faces, glaring eyes, and wild physiognomies of fiends." Bloomington (Ill.). Dec. 9.—The family of Lewis Brandenberg, a well-known citizen, were poisoned a day or two since by eating trichine in saisons. One of the family died this morning, and Mr. Brandenberg and wife cannot recover. The Bay View Distillery, South San Francisco, exploded last Saturday, and four employees were injured. A Rotten Company. Denver, December 8.—The Denver Fire Insurance Company has collapsed. It was organized fifteen months ago, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, of which over one-fourth was alleged to have been paid in. It transpires that it never had a dollar capital in money in the treasury, and the only assets consisted of a few unsecured and individual notes and tracts of unimproved land in the Southern States, to which they had an imperfect title. There is trouble ahead. New York, Dec. 9.—Mrs. Labouchere, who accompanied Mrs. Langtry to this country and quarrelled with her because the "Jersey Lily" insisted on carrying on a very strong flirtation with one of New York's gibbed youths, has turned the batteries of her tongue on her friend. She gives in an interview published this morning a breezy review of Langtry's record, tells how the scheme for attracting the barbarona Yankees to pay their money for a sight of Abbey's last attraction was worked up, and says she has had enough of Mrs. Langtry's nonsense and is going home. The "Lily" replies through her friends that Mrs. Labouchere lives in a glass house anyhow, and ought to be very careful about throwing stones. Kingman (Ka.), Dec. 9.—The county is excited over a dark crime committed two years ago, which has just been unearthed. At that time a gigantic land swindle was in operation here, and included in its active participants the Sheriff and County Attorney. The scheme was discovered and all the parties arrested. The Sheriff broke jail and County Attorney Sproulda skipped his bail, as all believed. His wealthy relatives, fearing foul play, set a detective at work and found, on the farm of a confederate; Carr, his coat, with two bullet holes in it. It is supposed all hands interested killed Sproulda to prevent his turning Stats' evidence. Arrests have been made.
