John Smith Fatally Wounded by "Will lam Dellschaft. Yam.rid, May 25.—Last night John .smith. 24 years old, a stevedore at South Vallejo, was seriously, if not fatally, shot by William Dellschaft at that place. 11l feeling between the parties for the past few montjis was the cause of the shooting. It seems Smith was under the influx nee of liquor and entered Charles >l-en"s saloon and sat down a few min ttes. Later Dellschaft came in and Smith arose, and, going toward him, cursed him roundly. Dellschaft, who is the owner of a barber shop and has resided at th Vallejo for the past two years, fear ing trouble, Left the saloon for his shop, followed by Smith, whom he warned three times to keep away from him. .Smith paid no attention, but continued to advance, and. when ten feet from him, Dellschaft drew a pistol from his pocket anil fired. The ball entered Smith's Kxly on the left .side, a little below the :t. li was extracted by Dr. Vallejo, but it is thought Smith is bleeding in fernally and may die.

Irrisration District Bonds. Sax Fraxcisco. May 25.—The Clear ing-house has notified the Produce Ex change that its constitution and by-laws will not pertnit it,to appoint engineers and attorneys to examine the irrigation districts whose bonds are ottered lor sale. Bat this does not prevent individual banks from co-operating in the work. This notification is the result of a recent meeting at which the subject of inducing San Francisco banks to loan money on irrigation district bonds was discussed and referred by the bankers to the Clearing-house. Shot and Mortally Wounded. ROCKUK, May 25.—John Evans, pro prietor of tin 1 Western Hotel, shot and mortally wounded Tom Tuley, Jr., this evening at 10 o'clock. Evans also owns a store, and Tuley and another compan ion wanted sonic sardines and were re fused. They afterward met at the hotel and had more words.

W\MiiMiioN, May 25.—The fact that no word was received at tin* navy De partment to-day from the Charleston is taken as an indication that she has gone on down the Peruvian coast towards Callao. Respecting the reiterated statements from Paris to the cflect that the insur gents have arranged to surrender the Itata to the I nited States naval authori ties when she roaches Chile, the officials of the Navy Department stand mute. It may be slated, however, that there have D no negotiations between this Gov ernment and the Chilean insurgents upon the subject. Still, it is plainly evident that some kind of an understanding has i'U, or is expected to be, reached which Will result in an easy transfer of the Itata to either Admiral MeCann or Admiral Brown, should she seaoh chile. This, of coarse, woold not be in the shape of a formal agreement, but an intimation may have already been conveyed to our naval officers at Iquique that such a course will be pursued, and doubtless this has formed the basis of many of the cablegrams that passed between Washington and Iquique during the last two weeks. SACRAMENTO, TUESDAY MOBNTNa, MAY 26, 1891. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. The Original Package Law De clared Constitutional. OREGON WAGON ROAD CASES RE MANDED. Territorial Justices Subject to Rc nioval by the President—President Harrison Thinks Salisbury is "Wan tonly Delaying: Cutnoapondenoe in Relation to tlie Behring Sea Contro versy—Silver Purchases. Special to the Record-Union. Washington, May 25. —The United States Supreme Court to-day upheld the constitutionality of the original package law passed by Congress* and also held that it was not necessary for Kansas to re-enact its prohibitory law after the passage of the Congressional Act in order to shut out liquors that are in original packages. The ease came up on an appeal of Wil kinson, Sheriff, against Rabercr, the lower court having decided against the State. Tiiis court reverses the decision of the lower court. Chief Justice Puller rendered the decision, the entire court being with hint. Justice Gray announced that Justices Ilarlan. Brewer and himself assented in the decision, but did not concur in all the reasoning of opinion of the court. "Hahcrer was the original package agent at Topcka f a Kansas City liquor firm, and was arrested the day alter tiic origi nal package law went into effect. He claimed that the law was unconstitu tional, and also that it conld not go into operation until the State re-enacted its prohibitory laws. The Circuit Court decided against the Staie, and the case was brought here on appeal. "The Supreme Court says the power of the State to Impose restraints and burdens upon persons and property in the promotion of public health, good order and prosperity, is a power always belonging to the State. The power of Congress to regulate commerce among the several States, when the subjects are national in their nature, is also exclusive, but it was left free by the Constitution, except as Congress might undertake to regulate it. "Intoxicating liquors are undoubtedly subjects of commerce, like any other commodity, but, nevertheless, it has ft1" this amount 313,500 ounces were purchased as follows: 55,000 ounces at §'U>72o; 20,000 at 10.9722; 104,600 at 50.9725; 98^00 at $0.9730; 50,000at 90.UT.ir>. The purchases of silver j at the local Mints up to the close of busi ness last Saturday aggregated 465,920 ounces. Memorial Day. Washington, May 25.—The President has issued an order closing all the Execu i tive Departments next Saturday (Decora tion Day. The President will take part in 1 Memorial Day exercises at Philadelphia i next Saturday. He Will leave Washing ton early in the morning and return late i in the evening. MORMON CHURCH PROPERTY. DIFFICITLT MATTER FOR THE SU PREME COURT TO DETERMINE. Tlio Property to Remain in the Hands of tho Receiver Until Other wise Ordered. Special to the Record-Union. Washington, May 2o.—When tho Su premo Court at tho last term upheld the constitutionality of the Edmunds law, by which the property ot the late corpora tion of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, otherwise known as tho Mormon Church, was escheated to the United States, it found itself in a somewhat embarrassing position. The doctrine of escheat was quite unknown In this country, and no purpose con sidered laudable and proper of a similar nature to that for which the property whs formerly used was known for what the property could be devoted. The court, therafore, instead of send ing the decree down, withheld it, a strong intimation being conveyed of the desire of the court that Congress should, by law, direct a disposition to be made of the property. Congress having failed to adopt the suggestion, the court, through Justice Bradley, to-day made a filial order in tho case and modified in some respects the decree it entered at the last term. The modification made recites that tho Mormon corporation having been dis solved, there does not exist now any trusts or purposes within the objects and purposes for which personal property was originally aequirou, for which any part of the personal property could bo used or dedicated thai are not in whole or part opposed to public policy and good morals; and, furthermore, that there does not exist any person or corporation legally entitled to any of the personality as successors of the late church. The decree then says that tho personal property having reverted to the United States, it should be devoted to suck chari table uses, lawful in character, as may most nearly correspond to its former destiny, unless in the meantime Congress shall otherwise direct, or the master shall report some scheme which shall meet the approval of tho court for the disposition of the property. The decree finally directs that the prop erty and all accumulations remain in the custody of the receiver until otherwiso ordered, and that out of it the costs of suit and receivership be paid. The Utah Supreme Court is directed to take the necessary proceedings. THE CHILE REVOLUTION. President Balmaceda's Message to the Chilean Congress. THE WAR SITUATION DISCUSSED AT 110 Thonsrht It Ills Duty to Adjourn tho Conjrrr^s in Order to P.r!ni* About Reasonnblo Terms—The LI- cense of the Press Carried On to Extremes Xover Befoi'o Reached In Any Other Part of tho World. Special to the Recoud-Ukion. New York, May 25. The Chilean Minister has received a copy of the mes sage of President Balmaceda, to the Chilean Congress, which arrived April 2()th last. In this he discusses tho re bellion of the navy, which he speaks of as without precedent in the naval history of Chile. Ho says during a period of throe months since the beginning of the revolution there? is not. an instance of a single popular .outbreak in favor of the movement whose power is actually con fined to the ocean. The fleet has boon unable to keep steadily or occupy any portion of the territory containing any dense popula tion, and in order bo do anything they had to bombard the forts of the north, and set on lire towns unfortified, operat ingagainst the cosmopolitan population of Taranaca, and using hostilities of a character worse than any oi those em ployed during the conquest of Chile. The provinces of the north are separ ated from the country by an ocean upon which the rebel fleet dominates, and by vast deserts. The revolutionists suc .ceeded in seizing them after a severe, bloody combat. Their fleet has not had sufficient strength to upset the lawful Government, but it has shown enough to disturb public order, and that its leaders possess the courage necessary to sacrifice the lives of children and spread mis fortunes and evils throughout the coun try. In speaking of his policy us Presi dent, Balmaoeda says: '"I tried to givo the National party participation in the affairs iv a proportion that could not in cite jealousy and resistance. The Na tionals refused to render me their assisl j since, although their co-operation was im- I posed by the clearest political sense. A j struggle then raged between the majority j in Congress and the executive power, and 1 thought it my duty to close Con gress in the hope that a short time of reflection and calm would bring groups of the coalition to fair and reasonable i terms. Unfortunately the evil has been done, and we have now to stand the de- I plorable consequences. "I was bound to assume all necessary powers to suppress the revolt, headed by an armed majority of Congress bent upon subverting public order and the institu tions of the country. The license of the Chilean press has been carried in our day to extremes never before reached in any other part of the world. Not only Government and public men, but society and even families have been carried in the tempest of political passion. I think the law must keep sacred the right and liberty of every one to publish his opinion. But there must not be other offenses of the press than those so quali fied by the penal code. Few Govern ments have had to meet more unmerited aggression or more gratuitous inculpa tions than those with which I have been assailed; but I have not on that ground lost the serenity of my spirit, nor the per fect tranquillity of my conscience. I have every confidence in God, who presides I over the destinies of all nations." EX-CITY TREASURER BARDSLEY. Tho Court Raises Ills Ball Bond to §50,000. Philadelphia, May 25.— Ex-City Treasurer Bardsley is still too ill this morning to appear before the Magistrate to answer the charge of misappropriating city money.

Chicago, May 2& Captain Ewers, United States Army Agent at the Tonguo Kiver Agency, was in the oity to-day and had an interview with General Miles about the situation among the Indiana in tho West. The Captain has just com pleted a tour of the camps within a radius of 200 miles of the Tongue River Agency, and ho said tho people now to be feared were not Indians, but cattlemen, who want all the land they can grab for their cattle t roam on, and will not allow any one to establish themselves. Tho cattle men. Captain Kwers said, were tho peo ple who stirred up the Indians by steal ing their land and taking advantage of them in every way, and tho Indians are complaining bitterly of tho encroach ments of these marauders. Florida Seaatoralalp* Tai.laiiassek (Fla.), May 25.—After two ballots in the Senatorial caucus to night, the Call men threw a bomb by moving that the caucus adjourn sine die.

It is thought they have been hanging there since Wednesday.

Nkny York, May 2.">.—Yatos' letter to tlic THfttme from London says: Twonfy ono horses and seven carriages woro dis patched from Windsor Castle to Balmoral Tuesday by special train for use of the Queen daring her stay iv Scotland. As a souvenir of the Queen of Koumania'a visit to Balmoral last autumn, tho Queen has sent her splondidly hound copies of two volumes of her Majesty's "Highland Journal" and a five-volume edition of Sir Theodore Martin's "Life of the Prince Consort." Queen Elisabeth in return has forwarded to the Queen n. volume of her own poems, written on vellum, each page superbly Illustrated, and closed in a cover-painted volume. Tho Queen of Koumania proposes to visit Scotland in the early autumn, and will pass about three weeks there. Tho Prince of Wales' influenza was hardly worthy being dignified by that name, and semi-ollieial contradiction did not clear oil" the mists 101 lon the public mind by the mysterious malady. The real truth is that the Prince has again been suffering from Inflammation Of tho veins of the legs, in more simple language, varicose veins. I.very one remembers the bad attack dozing the visit of the Emperor of Germany to Kngland two years ago, and this time he had n recurrence, though a less serious one, of a similar attack. Be has been for bidden I>> take any exercise, and is ro quired to live sparingly, and if he follows bm Cork, lie was a stern and contemptuous task-master, and having once, they think, got rid of him, they would never willingly accept his return". Ii is hard to say what is the reason of the state of ln was laid by Chip Norton. In the ninth round Carney fought the Newcastle man to a standstill. In the tenth round Burge showed great pluck, and made a game ertort to turn the tables, but Carney landod his left heavily on Burge's neck and fought him to tho ropes. In tho eleventh round Burgo clinched Carney. Desperate in-lighting followed, until they broke, when Carney knocked Burge down by a tremendous blow on the left ear. Burge's seconds, on seeing their man defeated, shouted "foul," and to the surprise of all present, the referee awarded the light to Burge. Intense indignation was expressed with the decision. Carney cried like a child at the injustice done him. The men fought with two ounce gioves. Both pugilists wore terribly punished, especially Burge. The light lasted forty-two minutes. Jews in Russia. Odessa, May 25.—A rumor current here that the Czar intends to make a thorough clearance ot Jews from St. Petersburg, Moscow and Odessa, caused great consternation in the Jewish colony in this city. The Jewish residents hero believe this alarming report more readily, because they know the Government has been requested to interfere in behalt of the Christians of this city, four-fifths of the increasing trade of Odessa, it wns claimed, being in the hands of the Jews. Crowds of Jews arrive daily from Kief? and elsewhere to embark for Jail*. Many of these people aro in a destitute condition, the wealthy Jews declining to render them any assistance. Turpln'y Arrest foi* llie.li Treason. Paris, May 25.—Freycinet, in the Chamber of Deputies, referring to tho arrest of Turpin, an officer of the French Territorial Army, and agent for tho Arm strong Gun Works, on a charge of high treason, denied that any documents had been abstracted from the Ministry of War.

St. Petersburg, May 25. —Upon the arrival of the Czarowitz at Vladivostock an Imperial rescript will be published throughout the Russian Empire direct ing the Czarowitz to lay the first rod of the Vladivostock section of the Trans- Siberian Railway.

Farmers living below the city yester day appeared before the Board of Trus tees and complained of that abominablo nuisance, the "drainage canal.' 1 They accompanied their complaint with a threat to compel the city to abate the offense. Whoever is acquainted with the situation will sympathize with tho farmers and Justify their action. But in the face of all that has been laid before the Trustees within the last few weeks, in regard to tho disposal of the city sewage, the officials did not appear to have any idea how the city could dispose of its sow age in any other way that by the drain age ditch. The expectation that they would sa\% "Well, let us inquire and find oat how other cities do," was not fulfilled. This is simply amazing*. For the drain age canal does not dispose of the drain age at all. We have shown, and the County Supervisors have verified our showing by the survey of their own en gineer, that the outlet of the ditch is higher than the head at this city. Until the canal Hows its waters np hill, thin fore, there can be no disposal of the waste matter put into the ditch. That ought to dispose of that miserable concern—the folly of a Board of Supervisors twenty years ago, which should never have been entered upon. The Trustees have agreed to go ovor the route of the canal on Thursday next— what for? Certainly not with a view of throwing more money into that ditch? If not that, then possibly for the purpose of acertaining what truth there is in the statements of the farmers. There is no need to take that trip to ascertain the exact facts. All the rest of the peoplo know what they are, if the Trustees do not. Everyone who lives within smelling dis tance of the loul thing knows precisely what kind of a nuisance the canal is. Why waste time and money examining a thing that cannot be repaired, and the only remedy for which ia abandonment. The Recohd-Uniox has no axes to grind in this matter. It is concerned only about the best interests of the city. It has studied this question of drainage from the standpoint of tho experience of twenty other cities. Tho results of its re search it has freely laid before the read- Ing public. It has been at pains recently to do what the Trustees might ,well have done—to write to and secure from the authorities of tho city of Worn-.-:, r, Mi-... the details of the system adopted there, which is successful and gives the city freedom from ull atwage dangers. These facts it has offered to submit to an ad visory board, to ascertain facts. Yet v. v are told that no other way is known for disposing of the city sewage except by the drainage canal, that does not drain at all, for the very good reason lisiit Its cur rent will not run up grade. In this con dition of affairs it would modi that we must trust to the Board of Health to get common, understandable, everyday facts of sanitary science before that peculiar body, the Trust- Let us recapitulate the situation onoe more, in paragraphs so clear and succinct that oven a child will be able to under stand them: 1. We have wwer system that, poor as it is, will answer. But we have no means for disposing of the sewage after era have conveyed it to a liual outlet. _. The i'ity cannot a .singlo year longer ttaglaot tho correction of tho evil, because it militates :tj:iin.«,t tha health of the poople, the good name of the city and tho desirability Of Sacramento as a place of reside; it i- Deoawary, therefore, to provide for the disposal of the city so wage—leav ing adoption of a bettor sewer system to the future—though not a distant one. 4. There arc but four methods known for disposal that are worthy of our exam ination. By gravitation, or artilicial pressure into tide-water, or a flowing body of water; by cremation; by filtra tion and the sowage farm plan; by chem ical precipitation. 6. The first is impossible in Sacra mento for want of sufficient fall, and to create it involves lifting to an urtillcial hight at enormous cost. The second is an excellent method, mainly for garbage, and is not so economic as the last. Tho third is out of the question, because the machinery to force the Bewajre out to tho land, as at Pull'T>ni. «i(»r Prtfonpo. in h(*vnr\r\ the ability of the city; besides there is not land of the proper sandy quality avail able that is not above the drainage level of this city. The fourth remains, chemical precipi tation. That is the cheapest, the speediest and the most successful, it seems to us. Worcester has adopted it with eutire suc cess, and alter a year of trial declares that it is admirably adapted to the pur poses intended. It was this system which the Armour Meat Company introduced at its works near Chicago, and thereby abated entirely the nuisance those works created iv the Chicago River, and which system is in practical use in a score of cities besides Arinourville, Worcester and Birmingham. The sewage flows as now to a point of exit. There it is received in cement vats, agitated with lime until it forms tho milk of lime, when sulphate of alumina is added, and the agitation continued in an other tank, until the heavy matter is pre cipitated into sludge wells. The liquid is passed on into still other tanks where, after it is found to be as clear as spring water, absolutely free from ofi'enso, it is discharged into tho river. With us it would have to be by pumping. Altor nately the tanks are shut on" and cleaned out, the Kludge being cast upon a tract of low land at Worcester at present to fill it, with earth and gravel added; or, being dried, it is disposed of for manure; or it is burned, as may be necessary. It is, however, deprived of its poisonous char acter, and all danger from it removed utterly. In the city of Worcester the sewage disposal question was examined by all the chief sanitary engineers of the coun try, and tho local official engineer was sent to Europe to examine all systems there. The reports of many of these are before us. After all had been heard, Worcester adopted tho chemical precipi tation sj'stem and now has it in success ful operation. That city has expended some |900,000 in constructing new and fine sewers also, but for that Sacramento must wait. The question now is, what to do with the sewage after it leaves the sewers we have. Cast it into the river we cannot, without purification; with that it can be pumped into the river without creating the slightest objection, or in any manner Invading the law. But the Reogbd-Uhioh is by no means wedded to any one system. It considers chemical precipitation best adapted to tho financial ami pressing conditions of Sac ramento, and therefore Insists that it be examined, and that all idea of attempting to drain by the so-called can.A shall be abandoned. The matter is a serious one, and cannot be put down. Common decency demands that we give it attention at once; common eooaomy teaches us that the sooner it is taken np and disposed of the better for the i-ity. Had action been Uiken yester day lor the collection of the data for the information of the Trustees, we doubt not that within a month the whole sub ject could have been put into shape suita ble for action iv some form, and that in less than a year we could have said to the farmers below the city: "The canal is closed, and we have ceased to afflict you by flooding your lands with the out-put of our sewers." A SHARP REBUKE. A bit of inside history of the difficulty with Italy lias come to light in the Ital ian green book. It appears that when Baron lava vent to the Secretary of State in March last to ascertain why Italy's abrupt demand concerning the Nt w Orleans matter had not been re sponded to, Secretary Blame gave him piece of his mind.'' The I3aron him self report*; I to his Government that the words of the Secretary were such that he, Fava, held his breath, 30 great was his Kiirprisi Bat it is not surprising to the people of the United States. The Secretary simply echoed tlicir voice when he told Fava that the United States would not listen to dictation from any foreign power, nor shape its policy upon any impertinent demand. If the people of Italy did not like the institutions of this country, the f:ime one in authority to speak out as the Secretary did. The people of the United States propose to deal fairly with all nations, but they are very weary of the complaints of princosaml potentates who 'ike our institutions, and who di plomatically and otherwise tell us that we must fashion tho garments of the repub lic to suit tho fancy of foreign Powers whose refugees have taken shelter here.

Be true to your God, to your country and to yours and you cannot fail" to attain distinction wherever destiny may guide your foot steps. Your Lordship: I would confess my disloyalty to your spiritual government did i fail, on this auspicious occasion, to gratefully recognise the partiality of the Holy Father for his far-away children on the shore! of the Pacific sea in having blessed us in your selection to preside over th>- moral destination of this people. This is not the occasion on which to ap propriately show oar appreciation of the beneficent consideration. Hut I speak the hearty concurrence of each one of your vast t!'>ck when I convey their gratitud*; to you for the great good already accomplished for them under your guid ing-hand as seen in that monumensal pile whose spires pointing heavenward stands a testimonial of devotion to your charge, a temple of the ancient faith typ ical of the love of the good pa.-tor for his followers. Every earthly blessing be yours, is our daily invocation, tiil gath ered to the holy fathers of the church who surround the throne, when yours will be— "Thai tree happiness,whieb is no growth of eartb; The soil v fruitless if you search it there; 'Tis an exotic of celestial iiirth. Aii'l blooms but n. celestial air."' To you, lalies itnd gentlemen of this city, a parting word. T-day you have witnessed the closing exercises of this institution, and doubtless all of you have been pleased and edified by what you have seen and hoard. Bow gratified, therefore, must you be that you have in your midst such a sea >>f learning where the opportunity is afforded fox the educa tion of tiie young men who are in, the future to assume the duties of citizens and of lathers in the community. Here is t'> be obtained not only that secular education that properly tits the young man for the duties 01 life. l>ut paramount U> alliathe Christian training imparted to strengthen and adorn these literary attainments. And need I 9aytO this en lightened audience bow desirable and necessary the conjunction of both is in tins modern day f corruption and de moralization of conscience In public lite. The portals of the institution are thrown wide open to the world of scholars irre spective of denomination. Nor need there- be fear of clash between its methods and those of other schools: no danger of assault upon our political system. Pat riotism, embellished by moral training, is of their curriculum one of the first doctrines inculcated, so that when the young man leaves those hallowed halls be does so panoplied with those moral as weii as secular attainments that strengthen him on the march of time to eternity. ignorance and vice are the natural enemies f this and every repub lic on earth; let these, with their mother, Idleness, together With profusion and ex travagance, be expelled. To do so, fortify the minds of the youth of the land with knowledge and virtue, which are the le gitimate fortifications of a republic. To that end, 1 know of no better op portunity than that to be found in the in stitution which has so gratifyingly enter tained you to-day. Therefore give to it that encouragement and patronage to Which it is Bolustly entitled because of its duvotion to Christian education. Tin: 00KCLUSIOK.

The salary roll for tho month amounted to $7,lteS 90, which added to tho bills, made the total expenses of the de partment for the month, 99,191 120. Chairman Erlewine called the attention of the board to tho custom of holding public graduation exercises for the High School, and said ho would like to hear some expression from the Director! as to whether or not there should be any change from the custom this year. Mr. Chipman said he did not see how the board could help having an entertain ment, as the High School pupils were al ready preparing for the exercises, and there Avould be a great howl if it was dropped. IIATUEU EXPENSIVE. Dr. Gardner and Chairman Erlewine were in favor of the entertainment, but were in favor of cutting down expenses. It had been rather an expensive luxury in the past. The Cnairmau added, how ever, that the citizens expected the Bxer cises and always showed groat interest in them. The theater was always packed to the doors. Mr. Payne said that tho fact that the theater was packed was no criterion! Sacramento was a great "free-show town," and anything in that line was sure to have a packed house. At the same time, however, he was not in favor of departing from the time-honored cus tom. All of the members, in fact, were in favor of holding the entertainmef t, and when it came to a vote tho proposition went through with a whoop, and Di rectors Chipman, Gardner and Sherburn were given charge of the affair. It was decided also to employ Mrs. Addle bar ter to drill the graduates in the music for the occasion. SICK ABSKNTEES. The board next indulged in a long do bate on the question of whether or not Miss Watson of the Sacramento Gram mar School should be allowed some back salary deducted on account of absence by reason of sickness. It was finally agreed to allow the money, but it was also de cided that in future no more money would Vie refunded in these cases. It was decided to advertise in the Rkc oki.-Ixion for bids for supplies for the school department during the ensuing year. The board accepted an invitation to at tend an entertainment at the Sacramento Grammar School Friday morning. As it is deemed necessary to provide copies of the "Statistician" for the schools, it was decided to purchase rive of them immediately. Chairman Erlewine called the attention of the board to the feet that the High School and the Twenty-seventh and J street school needed more room, and he thought that something should be done in the matter right away. Secretary Hart said that at the Twonty seventh-street school there would have to be several new classes next year, and more room was needed badly. Alter some discussion it was decided to have plans and specifications drawn up for an addition at the Twenty-seventh and J Street school, but not for the High School. WILL BB ABOLISHED. Director Chipman wanted to know what the board proposed to do regarding the office of Supervising Principal of the primary schools next year. The present system, ho said, was a Hat failure and a detriment to the primary schools. He wanted to see the office abolished, and a Principal placed at each school instead. The other members agreed with Mr. Chipman, and ho therefore gave notice that at the next meeting of the board lie would move to amend the school regula tions so as to permit this change. The board then adjourned. MERCANTILE ADVANCEMENT. .Remarkable Success of n Recently Pis- tabllsJied Firm. There fa nothing which grows more rapidly than our needed industries when planted on ahility and honesty, and not handicapped by Jack of means.* That the public appreciates a meritorious eilort is proven by the fact that when energy and perseverance are exerted, success invari ably follows. The merchants of Sacramento have always contended that goods can be pur chased in this market at lower prices than can be secured in the metropolis, and the truth of this assertion is evi denced in the successful career of the hardware linn of Schaw, Ingram, Batcher A Co. »jWhile in competition with many of the older and larger establishments, they have made remarkable advancement. ■The members of this firm, eminently qualified in technical education and busi ness tact, are now considered among the leaders in this line, while the distinction of their house is worthy tho inquiry of the newcomer. In conversation with a member of the firm yesterday information was elicited to the etlect that additional facilities were contemplated, owing to the vast increase and continued improvement in their business. Judicious management in tho selection of stock has secured to them tho advantage of selling to the closest buyer. Sacramento may well be proud of "this enterprising linn, whose members have cast their lot in our midst and intend to remain. CALIFORNIA FRUIT. Cherries That Brought Good Prices In the Kastern Market. The following telegram was received in this city yesterday from New York: "K. L. Goodsoll sold to-day at auction for account of the Karl Fruit Company of Sacramento, one carload of California cherries at the following prices: Black Tartarian cherries, £2 45 to $3 40 per box; (iov. Woods, $1 35 to $1 40; Roekporta, 1180. Of Black Knights :i tern poxes were received, in bad order, and sold at GO cents." All but 143 boxes in this car were Black Tartarians. and averaged for the entire ear $2 68 per box. The car left Sacra mento May 15th, and. was ten days en route. The above car was due to sell in New York on Saturday last, but did not ar rive flntil too late, hence the car was re iced, and held until Monday. Some cherries shipped from the Mouton ranch, near this city, were uicked twelve days prior to the sale, and very many were picked on Thursday, the 14th. The en tire car opened up on Monday in good order, except thirty-one boxes of Black Knights. This practically demonstrates that cher ries can be successfully handled in re frigerator cars. The Earl Fruit Com pany tried to yolve this question last sea son, but was unable to obtain the neces sary refrigerator cars. They consider this a test car, and that growers can now ship with more confidence; for,' in pre vious years, while some ventilator fruit cars arrived in good order, many did not, and growers have been getting very much discouraged. In fact, many who shipped in this car would have sold out very cheaply on Saturday, when advised that it was late, but they will now realize an average of about §2 per box, net. Young Women's Christian Association. There was an unusually large attend ance on Sunday afternoon at the meeting held at the Young Women's Christian Association rooms. Mrs. A. Conkiin of San Francisco, a thoroughly Christian lady, conducted the services. Mrs. Conkiin is a prominent "King's Daughter," being President of the de partment of work for the "Home for In curables." She had many good things to say in regard to consecration and Chris tian self-culture, and those who were not there missed a treat. Meetings will be held.every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A Judgment Reversed. A Supreme Court opinion was filed yesterday in Deputy Clerk Govan's office in tho case of Langan (appellant) vs. Langan el al. The action was commenced in Merced County for a balance alleged to be due upon a promissory note exe cuted by the defendant to plaintiff for the sum of S'J.IXK).

CAPAY VAILEyF" The Earliest Fruit Land in the State Equal in All Respects to tlie tons Vaca Valley, ffli it Adjoins. UJHFPiE^CEID^JNrTED TERMS. I>INTEREST ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS ATP 7 PER CBNT.^I Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco, and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay nnd Clear Lake Railroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles. The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which enable the purchaser to pay for the land out of its own product, viz.: Interest only for five yeans .it 7 per cent. The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro- portion of the land purchased shall be planted to fruit trees or vines. Land may be bought without this con dition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and remaining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with interest annu ally in advance at 7 per cent. The various tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have been subdi vided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from S5O to $150 per acre. Similar un improved land in Vaca Valley has recently been sold at $400 and 5500 per acre. These Capay Valley lands arc under the most favor able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself to be one'of the earliest in the State. The .^rape crop of IS9O from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, I dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before the Fresno County grapes were ripe. The railroad passes through all of the tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insuring excel lent shipping facilities: and land may now be purchased in the immediate proximity of either of the following stations: Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sautcrne, Cashmere or Rumsey. At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest and earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may already be seen, and during the coming season considerable ad ditional acreage will be planted out. One of the recent sales made by the company was that of the Tancred Tract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association. This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, all of which will be planted to fruit trees this season. The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400 acres have been sold, are especially worthy of mention, I and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are j o wned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex- I pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

Inmost cases it makes the difference between sue and failure. The industrious orchardist of Capay may rest assured that he will dsto per acre, and good agricultural land at $20 an acre, with other grades of land at prices to corre spond between these figures. The assertion is frequently made that good lands, suitable for neral terming, and es .ily adapted tor fruit growing, cannot be had in California for lees than from $60 to SlOO an acre. An examination of the land subject of this advertisement will prove to home-seekers that this is an opportunity for th^ purchase of good agricultural 'and at §20 an acre, and lor qualities grading down to lair agricultural land at 910 an acre, on terms of payment which should make the disposition of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of accomplishment. Tin- primary Object of the purchase of this body of land was the breaking up of a large holding for the purpose of promoting it> set tlement, in smaller quantities and its devotion u> diligeni husbandry.

MIDNIGHT CLOSING. Proposed Ordinance to Regulate the Drinking Saloons. The Dives to Undergo Official Inspec tion—Police Back Salaries—Work of tho Trustees. Matt. F. Johnson addressed the Board of Trustees at their meeting yesterday morn ing in behalf of Mr. Lanp, who resides in the vicinity of Eighteenth an. l D streets. The latter complained of the conduit of Hi'1 Potmdkeeper in allowing certain par ties to herd their rattle on tlie streets. Mr. Lang had been troubled for some time on account of the depredations comm itted on Ins property. His neighbors also complained of the nuisance. Mi\ Johnson asked that the board call the at tention of the Poundmaster totlie matter, and notify him to impound the cattle. On motion of Trustee McLaughlin, it "was ordered that l'oundmaster O'Xeiil be notified to appear before the board next Monday afternoon, and that the par ties who complain of his conduct furnish the names of the dairymen who are al leged to be enjoying special herding privileges. A SEWER WANTED. Mrs. Gray, who resides in the block bounded by F and G, Ninth and Tenth streets, urged the board to construct a sewer in the alley, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the property-own ers were opposed to the work. She con sidered that a sewer was a necessity. The members of the board agreed to visit the block and determine for them selves whether or not a sewer is abso lutely necessary there. BIS iH-STUKKT TRACKS. Mayor k>mstock stated that he had ex amined Sixth street, from F to Q, where the railroad tracks are, with a view to having them removed or bo placed that the property-owners would lie satisfied. He saw Superintendent Wright, who in formed him that the company hud certain rights granted to it some time ago to maintain tracks there. The Mayor further stated that he had consulted the City Attorney, and the Lat ter promised he would give an opinion on tlie subject. The matter, he thought, could be considered next Monday. OFFER TO BBXiIi !IV BONDS. 11. O. I J> L, were opened. The Sacramento Improvement Company submitted the lowest bid. Four bids were submitted for doing the scavenger work for the city. Daniel Healey offered to do ii for nothing. Eugene Grubbs wanted tfUw for the year. Albert Grubbs offered to pay the city $*~t6 for the privilege, and Jesse Slaughter asrreed to pay the city $s "io per month. Thf matter of awarding the contract was laid over nntil afternoon, and then ii whs given t>> Slaughter. A remonstrance was received against the Improving of F str> residents and entitled to sign remon strances against the establishment of in the block in which they r i. ]i.' said be merely wanted to know what decision the members of t!.e board had arrived at. so that hereafter :le would know how to {jet up peti tions. Mayor Comstock said he thought there should be but one representative from a hone v-i^n a petition of the kind. If a widow owned a house and re lin it, he believed Bhe was entitled u> remonsl "Where do you get that construction of Linance, Mr. Mayor?" asked City Attorney Hart, who was present. The Mayor could not exactly explain how he arrived at that conclusion, but fraud that a of it. Mr. Hart Btai when the ordi was being prepared the question as to whether it should road, citizens," or 'property-owners" was ■t length, ant! it nras d that anyone \v ho resided i-i the Mock was tion. in -ion from Mr. i tin- Mayor and Trustee kmklin said they -;.rts should decide that the levy of the special ta\jo pay the police men's salaries was illegal, the people or taxpayers could recover what they had paid in taxes. He said it was his opin ion, from reading various decisions, that Kesconldnot be recovered, and he advised the board to proceed at once to puy the salaries of the ofhcei i;. A.

AGAINST STREET IMPROVEMENT. A remonstrance was received from property-o\v r.ers on Thirteenth street, from C to G, against the grading and graveling thereof. The reason gi\ en was ••hard times,"' and the hardship that would be indicted on property-owners by having the work done. Only 1,040 feet were represented out of the f>.lL!O feet in the lour blocks referred to. A remonstrance was also filed by prop erty-owners on F street, between Sixth and Eleventh, against the grading and graveling of those blocks. In this case the remonstrance repre sented a large majority of the frontage, and the proposition to improve is knocked out. don't like tio-: xtisance. Property owners in the vicinity of Sixth and Q streets filed a written com plaint agaiust the maintenance of a pool of Stagnant water in that locality. The petitioners ask that the nuisance be abated. It was referred to the Street Commis sioner. WIIEIIE WERE THE POLICE? Constable Brissel and the Deputy Constables who arrested thr> parties con ducting a wheel game last week pro sented a demand for S9 20 for their services. The officers claimed that, ;.s Ity received the line imposed, it should pay them for their services. City Attorney Hart informed the board that it had no legal authority to pay such a demand. The officers should nave pay for their services, but they should have presented their bill to the county. Trustee McLaughlin said he would like to know why, i!' the ganio was an ill. git one, the city police had not made the ar rests. No one present was able to answer the conundrum. Mr. Hart said it would be sotting a bad precedent to allow the bill. Trustee Mclaughlin held that, as the city police had not clone their duty, and the Constables had. tho latter should be paid, and he moved that the demand be allowed. Mayor Comstock and Trustee Conklin voted in the negative, and the motion was lost. S.vr.OOX LICENSE RENEWED. A petition was tiled by residents in the block between X and i Third and Fourth streets, asking thai L, V>. en be granted a license to maintain bis sa loon 334 X street (the "International.") The petition was accompanied by the required bond, and on motion of the Mayor it was approved and a license or dered to issue. KISCKI t.ANKors BUSINESS. The demand of the Electric Light Com pany for March, amounting to $2,107 95, was ordered paid. Trustee McLaughlin presented a state mi tit Showing that the city had re,-lama ti v claims on various low l^ts in the southwestern portion of the city, amount ing to some $1,3 The Mayor was instructed to have the City Attorn y collect the amoudts delin quent. A resolution of intention was adopted for the grading and graveling of Four teenth street, from «r to L.

FOR IRELAND'S FREEDOM. Ex-Treasurer McKenna of the Robert Emmet Club Testifies. He Talks About Dynamite and War— The Secret Cipher—Tho Story Is Denied.* "To the outside world the organization was known as tho Robert Emmet Club, and was ostensibly a social alVair. But on the inside there was an entirely differ ent arrangement. It was then the 'U. 8.,' and its objects were to assist in a secret preparation that is going on to free Ireland trom England by force." Mr. McKenna, ex-Treasurer of the Robei't Emmet Club, was on tho witne explain how he became short in his accounts, and incidentally gave away the Becret business of the club. PBOMXSES TO DISOORGK. McKenna's term as Treasurer expired in 1889, and when he turned his i.o'>ks over to his successor he was found to be ?l:i. r short. A committee was appointed to wait on him, and to this committee be said some of the leaves of his books had been lost and he got mixed 'in his counts. ll'' promised, however, t-. "square op** as soon as possible. As time rolled alone and be did not settle, the club, through its High Priest, .Mr. Gorman, sued McKenna in Justice De vine's court and obtained judgment. But McKenua took the case to tho Superior Court, and that is how he happened to be there yesterday. '1 he club members all testified that tho ex-Treasurer had never denied that lie was a defaulter, and they always ex pected that he was going Suit v.;is not commenced until they were sat isfied that h^ I.ad no intention to settle up with them.

"Say, if you want anything out of mo come out on the sidewalk Lawyer Hiram Johnson's chubby fist shot out and landed on District Attorney Ryan's pompadour, mussing it shame rally. Of course great confusion followed, but the crowd which essayed to stop Mr. Ryan from retaliating was not quick enough, and the doughty county prose cutor gave his assailant a genuine Corbett jab on the forehead. The hostilities would have continued, but Constable Brissel jumped in between the belliger ent legal gentlemen and separated them. WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. It happened in Justice of the Peace Starr'a court yesterday afternoon. The second trial of Koad Overseer Ilasier, J. W. Cox, S. S. Harding and A. Ward, for tearing down Charles Heisen's fence, was about to begin. It will be remembered that this fence was pulled down once be fore, and tho Road Overseer and his assist ants were arrested. .Justice Henry, how ever, discharged them. The Board of J Supervisors then ordered the fence re moved again (Heisen having replaced it', and the result was another arrest for ma licious mischief, and this time the case comes before Justice Starr. Before tho impaneling of a jury was commenced, District Attorney Ryan made a motion that the case be dismissed, He said the merits Of the case had been once passed upon, ami besides this, he said, the suit had been commenced on behalf of the people without his consent, lie was just explaining to the court that his name had been attached to the complaint by scene one without authority, when lawyer Johnson called him a liar—and tho fisticuffs ensued. JOHKSOW'S AP'-i.oav. When the smoke of the battle had set tled, and quiet had been restored, .Mr. Ryan called the attention of the court to the (act that he had been insulted in the court's presence, and he asked that Mr. .Johnson be lined for contempt. .Mr. Johnson arose and apologized to the court, but he had none for the District Attorney.

Ed. Cnrracrhor's Experience "With a Burglar—A Footpad Quickly Put to Flight. People about town are still having their usual experiences with burglars and footpads, several cases of which have come to light in the last day or two. Among those who have suffered an noyances of this kind is Ed. J. Car ragher, one of the proprietors of the Sad dle Kock Restaurant. He considers that he has had about as narrow an escape from being robbed as he cares to experi ence. The escape was duo to the vigi lance and quick wit of his wife. On Sunday evening Mr. and Mrs. Caraagher entertained a couple of friends at their homo on P street, between Third and Fourth, and it was nearly eleven o'clock before tho visitors took their leave. Mr. and Mrs. Carragher retired shortly afterward, but before turning out the gas they lighted a taper, as usual, as their three-weeks-old infant required frequent attention. One of the windows opening upon the front porch was left up, although the screen was down. The shade was raised some four inches from the sill of the window. A few minutes after the gas had been turned out Mrs. Carragher noticed a crouching form on the porch, and called her husband's attention to it. Mr. Car ragher looked, but concluded that it must be a dog, and so informed his wife. She said nothing for some time, but the form finally moved again, and she declared to her husband that she would not Bleep un less he went out and investigated. Mr. Carragher got up, and going over to the window looked through the screen, and sure enough saw an object not rive feet away, which he knew was not a dog. Be watched intently for a few minutes, and noticed tJ H form move backward to ward the steps leading from the porch. Just as it got to the top of the stairs M r. Carragher became satislied that it was the form of a man, and he asked his wife (in what he thought was a quiet tone) to get his pistol. The words had barely escaped his lips when up jumped the man. He cleared the staircase with one bound, darted up the street toward Fourth, and disap peared. All that Mr. Carragher could do was to yell at the would-be burglar as the latter ran, while ho upbraided himself for not haying hail a shotgun handy. The night prowler wore a stiff-rimmed felt hat and v sack coat, and was a man of stout build. HE STRUCK THE WROXO MAX. Early on Sunday morning Joseph Moran, a young man employed in the Record- I'niox's stereotyping de partment, Avas passing along Ninth street on his way home, and when at the alley near Supervisor Miller's stable a footpad sprang upon him. The intended victim is a sort of second edition of .John L. Sullivan, and the blow he received did not phase him. So ho squared off in anticipation of another rush, seeing which the footpad cried out: "Oh, you're ready to fight, are you?" and made a break for the alley. Ho succeeded in depriving the Coroner of a job. A BURGLAR IX THE HOUSE. A few nights ago a lady residing at Twenty-filth and streets was awakened about midnight by a noise in the house, ami on looking about her discovered a burglar in her bedroom engaged in an inspection of her bureau. She called to her husband, when the in truder made a bee-lino for the street, and that was the last seen of him. He had not time to steal anything. Tho lady hopes he will call again as they are pre pared to give him a hearty reception. FIRE COMMISSIONERS. They Aro Opposed to Department Parados on All Occasions.

I «*. A CAPAY COLON!, Busy Fruit-Gtwers in a Pretty Yolo Valley—-Tancrcd and Its Adjoining Farms. TN TTTF. SPRING OF LAST YEAH Robert A. »nd Steal r>. Barker associated tlionis-clvs with William McKay, nil of Oak land, with a v.rw of searching out a tollable location in which to cn^a-e in UM profitable occupation, of fruitgrowing. After visiting many focalltfe*, they decided on the Valicy. Yolo County, and the Ilhodes tract at Tailored. Negotiations were openad with the rapay Valley iaiKi Company, owning the tract in qnesiion. Witt \V. 11. Mills, the General Agentof that company, they arranged iv>r the purchase of aboul 220 BCKSOf foothiU land. This being more than they had thought of taking for their own use, they spoke to a Bomber of Mends about it, with the result that the trad was divided among the follow ing people: B, L. Hickolc, 40 acres; W. I'. Barnett, 20 acres; N. T. Greathead, 20 acres; Mrs. L. (ireathead, 20 acres; \V. McKay, 20 acres; X. D. Harker, 20 acres; B. A. liarker, 20 acres; J. p. Browntee, 80 acres; E. H. Has lett. lOacres; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; A. W. Kelly, 10 acres, and Frederick Kelly, 10 acres. so far tins had been merely a private ven ture of the sent I.nun above named, out In talking up the Question of dividing the land already purchased, it was found that so many more would like to join it thantheareaof the purchase would admit of, that it was sug gested on all hands, "Why not get some more land and divide it up in the way."' Then followed the idea of a stock company to take bold of a larger trad and arrange for the cultivation of the whole of It, after subdividing it according to the requirements of the sub scribers. A provisional board was formed, a prospectus tamed,and finally,on the sth of June, 1390, the Western Co-operntive Col onization and Improvement Company was duly registered and proceeded to busi with the following officers: President, Will lam McKay; Wee-President, M. P. Brown; Directors-H. c. Ellis, Charles Brooke and R. A. Barker; Secretary and General Manage N' al I>. Barker; .Solicitor, c. E. Snook; Treas urer, First National Hank of Oakland. The balance of the tract, 373 a ares, was pur chased. A contract was entered Into for the purchase of a large number of fruit vines, etc. This early purchase octree.; Hi. means of saving between $3,000 and $4,000t0 the company, the price-, in gome caome 10,000 trees and between 20,000 and 30,000 vines will be pianted. The satisfactory working of this scheme has bad the efiect of attracting conßid teiitionto the work of the Colony Company, and a number of people are now desirous of joining in with them. .\n additional 200 aere "very one who has visited it, but one thing is very sure, and that is that this m gleet will never again be felt in the valley. The fruits set out are mostly of the standard varieties--peaches, apricots, Bartlett pears, prunes, Ugg, raisin grapes, etc., while along both sides of the avenues, throughout the tract, walnuts will throw their grateful shade. asiderable number of dtra also being set out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate that these fruits can be .-uect-s -fully grown in the valley, aboul which the colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. Neal D. Barker, General Manager of the company, resides on the tract, and to his care is to be ascribed much of the success of the venture. Mention should be made of the town-site, about which there is a pleasant innovation which might with profit be followed by more ambitious places, a small park of some three acres has been laid out right in the center of the town. This park it is proposed to beautify by planting in it from time to time as many of the beauties and curiosities of tree and shrub life as may be obtained by diligent search and a wise expenditure of mon^y. it is not expected that Tailored will ever be a large and busy city, but it is thought that it can be rnu.de a very pleasant little place to dweli in. A petition has been circulated recently and very largely signed, asking the county to uc oepi [stand avenue, on the colony tract, a- a county road, and to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, in order to give She settlers on the east side of the era 1 seen to Tancied Station. The Tancred colonists are quite willing to give the necessary right of way. and are very desirous of having a bridge there, as the colony innds extend along both sicios of the stream. It is thought that it would be a very wise expenditure of public money to grant them this very necessary Im provement, as th.> operations of such com panies aro of widespread benefit to the whole county and state. The attractions and com forts of the ernes are well known, but to those who are willing 10 settle en the land and show that the country also affords attractions and comforts, and ways of making mouoy pleasantly,every Inducement should beheld forth. Th>- following is a list of the principal mem bers of the Tancred Colonj-, with the number of acres owned by each, and a fact worthy of mention is thai m each contract or deed is sued by the Colony Company there is a pro vision that no Intoxicating lii- shall ever be manufactured or sold on the land.
