SEEMS APPARENT that the nickel-in-the-slot machine ordinance, which prohibited the use of these gambling devices in the city of Fresno and is similar to the ordinance recently put into effect by the various Boards of Trustees is not destined to stand the test of our constitutional State laws. Superior Judge Church of Fresno county recently decided that the ordinance passed by the municipal authorities of Fresno was unconstitutional, as it provided a banking game, which is forbidden by the State law. e Judge Charch’s decision has aroused considerable discussion and interest among our people here, some of whom have expressed their opinion that the similar ordinance put jnto effect here would share the same fate, if it was contested. The decision of the Fresno court is that the playing of nickel-in-the-slot machines constitute a banking game and is therefore covered by the State law. This is virtually a decision that the local ordinance makes legal a game which is forbidden by the law of the State of California. The final outcome of this question will be awaited with _ considerable interest by our citizens, as will-also any further « developments in the matter. ee2eee ee eee ee ~ The Phelan Case. HE EDITOR ofthe Downieville Messenger has received a letter from Richard Phelan’s attorney in San Francisco, in which he protests against an editorial that appeared in that newspaper recently, wherein the conviction and opinion expressed were not fav: Grable to the granting of a pardon: The letter stated that Phelan “has in his possession ample material to demonstrate that he has been most shamefully treated,” and the threat is plainly made in the letter that unless the efforts undertaken to prevent Phelan’s pardon are abandoned, Phelan “will make such an expose and revelation from the overwhelming proof now in his possession, but not given publicity, as will cause certain newspapers as well as officals of Sierra county to deplore the reckless and unwarranted course pursued towards him.” As to the expediency or. propriety of granting Phelan a pardon we do not care at this time to comment on, as that matter is one for the judicial department of the. State or the Governor to decide, and is a question on which there is great difference of opinion expressed, even by Phelan’s best friends. We will state, however, that the editor of the Messenger did the right thing when he ignored the threats made by Phelan’s attorney and declared that they would not deter that journal from publicly expressing the sentiment of the people of Sierra county in relation to the matter. Phelan’s‘attorney must be awful green, to say the least, not to know by experience that you can’t intimidate a mewspaper publisher or “bluff” him with threats into his way of thinking. Asa matter of fact when this has been tried the party who has done all the “kicking” has generally got the -_. worst of it, jn ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. Miss Alma J.

Again we are called upon to perform the sad task of chronicling the death of one of our city’s most highly esfriends is. putting it bat lightly, as but a little over a week has passed since she was in the prime of life -and her bappy and cheering voice was heard among her associates. ; ; a AT FOLSOM.

Oliver is its victim, for at about 1 o'clock this closed her eyes and she sank iuto her eternal rest. For about a week the deceased hed had a bad cold but other than that she felt well and nothing much was thought of the matter till Thursday, when it became necessary to call a physician. At that time it was learned that the young lady was suffering from one of the most severe attacks of diphtheria that has made its appearance in this locality for years, and although everything possible was done to relieve her sufferings all efforts were to no’ avail. as the disease had got a fast hold before it was discovered. Alma J. Oliver was aged about 17 years and was born at Gold Fiat, this township. The most of her life has been spent in this city, where by her kind acts and pleasing ways she has endeared herself to all who had the pleasure of ber acquaintance. Besides hér mother, three sisters and two brothers survive her. She was buried this afternoon. " A: strict quarantine has been kept on the premises since the nature of the disease became known s0 as to prevent it, if possible, from spreading. The death coming, as it did, quite suddenly, sdds one more misfortune which has befallen the Oliver family without warning in the past few years and excites stronger than ever the sincere sympathy of the whole community for the surviving members. In 1894 the head of the family, James Oliver, was killed by @ premature blest at the Pittsburg mine. Hardly had the family survived the shock when another one came in the killing of the oldest brother and son by being hit by a large boulder while at work at the Champion mine.

But we have lately come . across some coincidences of dates . which, so far as we know, bave not been noticed before. The number 88 seems to have had fatal influence on the Stuarts. Robert IL,, the first Stu. art king, died in 1388, James Il. was killed at the siege of Roxburghe Castle, 1488; Mary, queen of Scots, was, beheaded in Fotheringay, 1588. (new . style); James VII.
