Never lias the loss of a steamship at sea caused so much excitement since the time of the (ireat Denmark disaster. No par ticulars of the disr.st* r have been received in tliis t. 1 hey undoubtedly took to the boats when it was seen that the vessel had no chance. In the sea and the storm that have been raging for the last week the boats could have hardly lived. A later dispatch to this city, from Lloyd's in London, says the Devonshire was abandoned about mile-; west of Harrow. Up to the time of cabling noth ing had been heard from the captain and crew* The Devonshire sailed from Barrow on September3oth and was, if ail reports are true, in ballast. The Devonshire gen erally made the passage to this city in about fifteen days, so no uneasiness his been felt about her uon-«ppearance. She is a twin-screw Bteamship, 31ft) feet long, -t deep.

Washington, Oct l±— The Commis sioner of Indian AJlairs has written a let ter to Dr. Dorches:er, Superintendent of Indian Schools, instructing him to visit the contract schools and subject them to the same thorough inspection made in the Government schools. The Superin tendent is also to make special inquiries into the character and qualifications of employes of contract schools, compare the course of study with that in Govern ment schools, and point out any defects and superiority. The Commissioner says it is the pur pose to promote pupils where it is found that the course or study is defective or the facilities tor industrial training want ing, or for other reasons pupils cannot receive aw good equipment for life in con tract schools as in rovenunent schools. The Commissioner also says, "You will say distinctly and emphatically to all 1 1' -ni:' cted with contract schools, that whenever it is (bund by this office lhat those in charge of these schools, or '.hose whom they send to the reservations to procure pupils, or those who are in :iiiy wise directly connected with these institutions, are using influence against the Government schools, by advising the pupils to stay away, or" by advising parents to ithbold their children, or by advising agents to not co-operate with the Government in any way. directly or indirectly, that they will beheld strictly responsible for it. and if the necessity ouaes wjio!) ihis office, which I hope will not, this oilice will not hesitate to annul the contract with such institutions of learning/ 1 X MGOTIATIONS UNCOMPLETED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The report pub lished this morning to the effect that a convention had been concluded with Germany by which the cereal products of the United States would be admitted free of duty, etc., is not true. Negotia tions have for some time been in progress between the two Governments with a lew, on the part of Germany, to secure the continued free admission other sugar into this country in return for certain concessions in customs duties to be ex tended by Germany to American pro ots of various description. Itis learned, W( v r. that these negotiations are srill in an uncompleted state of progress, with good prospects of being brought to a sat isfactory conclusion before the Ist of next January, when the President will possess the power to issue a proclamation Impos ing duties, conditionally levied by the Tariff Act of October 1, LB9O, upon all sugars imported from any country that imposes duties upon agricultural or other products of the United States which in his judgment are not reciprocally equal and reasonable.

Ocean Steamers Have liousrh Passages —Many Passengers Meet With Serious Accidents. Special to the Record-Union. Nbw York, Oct. 12.—This season the cyclones at sea have caused life atloat to be attended with peril and much physical discomfort. The Alaska, one day over due, has not yet been heard from, and the Augusta Victoria was not sighted until early this morning. The Umbria, one of the best storm-detiers of the Cunard line, due yesterday morning, was not reported oil* Sandy Hook until last night. Two steamers report having met a number of cyclones. The Augusta Victoria arrived at her ,dock shortly before noon. Her olncers reported that from October 4th to the »ith she experienced heavy westerly gales with a tremendously high sea. She sustained no great damage, but several passengers were thrown down and a number of them had theirs arms and legs broken. Eight or more were severely cut a!.out the head. I Hiring the greater part of the passage of the Augusta Victoria not a passenger was allowed on deck, and during the whole voyage her commander never slept. He was on the bridge day and night, and it was the unanimous verdict of all on board that to his wonderful sea manship and skill in handling the groat vessel is duo the safety of the ship and passengers. During four days her decks were under water most of the time. The seas were like mountains, and the big vessel pitched and plunged violently with every shock. On the 7th iust. a series of accidents happened that crippled many passengers. Dr. Leyburn aad Augusta Truelson, cabin passengers, both had arms broken. In the steerage the misery was great. The inmates were not allowed Jon deck, and were packed into a dense mass. At every lurch of the ship they were thrown to the Moor, and frequently in trj'ing to rise as the vessel righted, were thrown back, and not a few received painful injuries, there were eighteen members of the Eppe family, and not one of them escaped without bruises. On the &h the storm was at its worst, and during the entire day the main deck was under water. Many more accidents occurred. Mrs. White and her daughter wore thrown across the cabin by a lurch of the ship and both had their right arms broken. Nathan Solomon, Franz Ru dolph and John Schreiner, the latter of this city, also suffered fractured limbs. In the steerage those who bad escaped tlie day before came in for their share, and fully thirty .suffered painful bruises and cuts, and one or two had arms dislo cated. All were attended to on board, and were able to move to-day. The officers and passengers of the Urn bria also report a terrible voyage. On October 7th Mrs. C. P. Morman of Louis ville died of apoplexy. Ono of the pas sengers said that shortly after passing Fastnet Light they struck a breeze which by noon on Monday had become a hurri cane. This weather continued through out Tuesday, but Wednesday it moder ated during the day and tho passengers were able to go on deck for the first time since Sunday. Wednesday evening, however, another hurricane came on, and the ship was speedily in the thick of it again. At 10 o'clock, with the wind and sea thunder ing \ipon the ship, a pin in the ma chinery was discovered loose, and the engines had to be stopped, this incident being vaugely described by the engineer in the reply to an anxious passenger's query as "only a bug in the snifter." After four hours' heavy rolling tho ma chinery was repaired and the voyage re sumed. During the whole of Thursday it con tinue;! to blow with great severity, the OOMB resembling rolling hills. The weather moderated slightly Friday, but continued very nasty until they got in. Throughout the voyage the Umbrie ship ped immense quantities of water. Two saloon passengers were painfully injured, and a number of seamen badly knocked about, two sustaining fractured bones. "GOD SAVE IRELAND." Parnell's Parliamentary Colleagues Issue a Manifesto. NO COALITION TO BE MADE WITH THE M'CARTHYITES. Insurgents Attempt to Create a Revo lution In Uruguaj-, but are Speed ily and EfTectually Suppressed by Government Troops—Explorer Stan ley Narrowly Escapes Losing His Life in a Railroad Wreck. Special to the Recohp-Un rov. London, Oct. 12.—Parnell's Parlia mentary colleagues have issued tho fol lowing manifesto: "Ireland has lost her leader, but her cause remains. Your duty to the living and dead is to maintain erect and unsullied the flag of national independence. You, the people of Ire land, gave into the hands of Parnell and his colleagues the charge of your political interests, and the honor and safety of the national cause. You asked us, by con stitutional means, to restore prosperity, peace and freedom to our country. And, animated by his spirit, guidad by his clear intelligence and firmness of soul, j we carried the cause to a point where the tower of victory could bo seen by all. Hut in an unfortunate hour a majority of the Irish representatives, at the bidding of an English statesman, broke our ranks, abandoned the flag of independent opposition and ranged themselves as fol lowers ami satellites of British statesmen. We refused to become parties to the treason, relying upon the native convic tion and maintained interest in our alle giance to the independent national party, in the belief that the people would justify and support us. "Our great leader is dead, but the cause lives on. Relying on your devotion to Irish nationality we propose to carry on the struggle until the principles for which lie lived and died triumph, and national unity is restored. The Parliamentary party is pledged to work for Ireland under the flag of the independent opposi tion, absolutely free from tho control of any foreign power or party. This is our esolution. Its realization depends upon you. It involves sacrifices and struggles, and wo call upon you to make them. True to the principle that we are the in struments of the people, we have re solved to call a convention of roprcsenta live Irishman to discuss in the name of the nation, means whereby to carry out the policy anil programme he bequeathed in his dying remarks. "We welcome all honest men who be lieve that the political affairs of Ireland should be controlled and directed by rep resentatives of tiie Irish people alone, but with men who are immediately re sponsible for the disruption of the na tional party, who, in obedience to foreign dictation, hounded to death the foremost man of our race, we can have no fellow ship. In their guidance can be no safety. Hutween them and tho men who stood true for national independence Ireland must choose. "On the threshold of the tomb of the lead- er we mourned is defined our duty in these imperishable words: 'If lam dead and gone to-morrow, the men fighting against English influence in Irish public life must tight on stiil.' Fellow-countrymen, let it be the glory of our race at home and abroad to act up to the spirit of this mes sage. 'God save Ireland.' DUBUH, Oct. 12.—At a meeting of the National Club this evening the question of a proposed union with the MeCarthy ites came up, and after debate resolu- j tions denouncing such union were car ried. at parxell's tomh. DUHCnr, Oct. 12.—Thousands of people, unable to pay their respects to the dead I chieftain yesterday because ot the great jam of people and inclement weather, to- ■lay crowded around the tomb at:iy.s the lirooklyn Citizen. The manag ing partner was much pleased -with the youth's manliness, and, after giving him lull instructions as to his duties, sent him to canvass in New England. **Of course," said the manager, "we expect you to be economical in your ex- I penses and to keep a detailed account of them." It was not likely that the youth from the country was going to escape guying by his wily co-employee. •'lt's a great thing in our line,"said one, "to be well dressed. Good clothes, well made, go a great way with our custom era.* 1 "Well, I'm all right in that respect," said tho youth, "am I not?" "I guess you'll do for this iournoy," said another, "for, of course, you'll get a suit of clothes out of your first trip." The youth accomplished his journey, and on his return presented to the man ager an Itemized bill of expenses. The manager glanced over it ami said: "I don't understand this last item: •One suit of clothes, 1*35.' What does that mean?" "Why, I understood I was to put that in the bill," was the reply. >h, dear, no," the manager said. "We can't go so far as that. Tho other items are all right, but that must como out." (»n the youth's return from his second trip he gave the manager a bill of ex penses. The manager looked it over and said: "Ah! That's all right. Them's no suit of clothes here." "h, yes. there is," tho youth ex claimed with a bright smile. "It's there, but you don't see it." TURF TOPICS. TWXKTT-STVE BLOODED IIORSES SOLD AT LEXINGTON.

The town of Auburndale, Wis.. re ceived its name in a peculiar manner. Years ago, when that section was com paratively undeveloped and land was cheap, a man named King located there and built a mill. The place had good shipping facilities and the mill soon became a nucleus of quite a thriving, hustling little town. Then arose the question of a name for the embryo city, and by common consent the right of naming it was con ceded to the tirst settler, Mr. King. The citizens wanted to call the place King's Mills, but the old gentleman ob jected. He said he didn't want his name tacked on to any one-horse or two-horse village. Now, says the New York Continent, the old man was the happy father of seven bouncing daughters, and the vil lagers suggested that the name of one of them should be given to the now town. This idea pleased the father as much as it pleased the seven daughters, but whi' >v t I one of the seven fair ones should he hon ored above her six sisters? The town could not be handicapped with all the seven names. Finally a happy thought struck the old man. Every one of his seven daughters was red-headed. Ho decided to nonor them all by christening the town Auburn dale, and Auburndale it remains to this day Three painters were blown from the great Forth Bridge in Scotland the other day and killed.

Tho victim is allowed to pat some ton yards l' space between himself and his captors, and is then tumbled on his face with bullets through hi* back. It is noticeable that these "escapes" never occur in a thickly wooded or bushy country, where the prisoner would hare some chanco to dodge.

S. BUPKHME COURT. Sickness Causes tho Absence of Thro© Justices. Washington, Oct. 12.—Tho Supremo Court of tho United Slates met for tho October term to-day. Three Justices were absent from court. Chief Justice Puller fa in Chicago, where his daughter i- very ill, and .Justices Bradley and Gray have both been ill, but are now recover ing. Tho business transacted was tho admission of applicants to practice be&xe the court and tho announcement l>y Justice Field that the most important cases advanced for argument next Mon day are postponed until the second Mon day in November. This step is taken for the reason that it is desired they shall bo heard by a lull bencb,andthe probability is all the Justices will not be present on Monday next. The list includes the Say ward case, which involves the question f the jurisdiction of the United States over the seal fisheries in Behiing Sea, the anti-lottery cases, the elevator case and eases involving the question of the consti tutionality ofthe McKinley Tariff Act. The court adjourned a few minutes after 12 o'clock, and went in a body to pay its respects to the President. To-morrow Moses Solomon of OH attorney for Pielden and Schwab, the anarchists who were committed to the Joliet Penitentiary a>r life at the time that Spies, Ling, ot ai. were condemned to death for murder at the Baymarket riot in Chicago, will lile papers in tho two cases to secure the release of the two con victs, and then move that the cases bo advanced. The principal point is the old technical one, already argued in the Illi nois courts, that the men were sentenced by the Illinois Supreme Court when they were not present, and that the court had no power to so sentence them. There are other technical points raised. General Ben Butler is associated with Solomon. CALIFORNIA FIJI ITS.

Once when General Sheridan, Tom Ochiltree and a Mexican gentleman were at San Antonio, the conversation fell on the possibility of another war with Mexico. "Do you think we could whip Mex ico?" asked the redoubtable Tom. "Can a ton crush a pound?" senten tiously replied Sheridan; and then it was discussed what terms the victor might demand, whether there would bo a partition of Mexico, etc. Sheridan grew impatient, for he was always a warm friend of the Mexican, people, and a war with them would not at all havo suited him, so he blazed out: "Gontlemen, in case of a war with Mexico, which God forbid, and in ease we were victorious, 1 would not sparo Mexico; no, sir! I would impose condi tions of the most onerous sort; I would inllict a fearful penalty on Mexico; some thing to arouse the horror of mankind."' "What would that be?" demanded his excited listeners. "Gentlemen," said the gi-eat soldier In his most solemn manner, "I would de mand of Mexico that she take back i Texas." —Boston Herald.

John Crouch is a large land holder in Butto and Colusa counties. lie has made steady progress in the way of aggregat ing the ownership of land for many years. As an illustration of the manner in which civilization disappears follow ing the ownerships by this land monopo list, ho recently purchased the holding of one Barrows, who owned twenty-one hundred acres. Adding this twenty-one hundred acres to his already large pos session, Mr. Crouch found a house which had costlsls,ooo. It was an elegant coun try home, built of brick. It was a sign of advancing civilization. It was a place in which children might be born and reared to manhood and womanhood. It was an evidence of the highest use of laud, to wit: for the purpose of establish ing homes. Mr. Crouch found the ex istence of this home with its embellish ment of civilized life an offense. He de clared that the Assessor would assess the improvements at a high rate if he main tained a home. He therefore proposes to destroy the $15,000 dwelling and leave the land devoid of any habitation except a ramshackle substitute in which to feed the men who work that ranch. He is, therefore, going to destroy elegance and reproduce squalor, because that is the method by which large laud holdings are cultivated. He makes no concealment of the bar barous tendency of bodying up land holdings in California. By this action he declares that the fertile valleys of Califor nia, when they fall into the ownership of a few men—as they are fast doing—shall have neither houses nor fences, parks nor orchards; they shall be divested of all attractive features; they shall becomo the waste places of greed and rapacity. Thus Mr. Crouch purchases a well-im proved and elegant home aud converts it into a waste, which is called in California a wheat field. This incident is not alone. Surround ing the Gallatin tract in Tehama County there are some ten or twelve houses and barns standing idle because their owners sold out to a single individual who had no use for them. The case herein cited relating to Mr. Crouch is not the only one which might be cited in his experience. He has destroyed ten or twelve dwelling places that the monopoly of land might prosper. THE TRAIN-WRECKING INCIDENT. There ought to be spared no effort on the part of officials to capture the mur derous train-wreckers who threw the west-bound overland from the track near Colfax early yesterday morning. A more deliberate attempt to murder helpless people is not of record. In the blackness of night rails were torn up on a high em bankment over which in a few moments a heavily loaded passenger train must pass. The criminals must have calcu lated that the probable result would be to send the entire train down the long grade, and that there would be conse quent terrible mangling and killing of human beings. That not a life was lost, and that no one was even seriously hurt, though one sleeping car filled with people rolled over and over down the embankment, is sim ply miraculous. It is, indeed, sufficiently marvelous to go far towards justifying belief that divine care had the fortunate people on the train in special keeping. Train-wrecking is now a capital offense; whether life is lost or not, the penalty for the crime is death, and properly so. All the energy of the law, the entire forco of officers in this region, ought to be at once directed to searching out the infam ous men who plotted the diabolical scheme and bringing them to the scaffold. The Southern Pacific Company an nounces that it will pay a reward of $5, --000 for tiie arrest and conviction of the wretches who attempted to wreck the train. That ought to stimulate officers to best exertion to bring the offenders to justice. BEGGING FOR INDULGENCE. It seems to be the opinion of the best informed that Democratic success in New York at the approaching local elec tion will mean the defeat of ballot reform iv that State. Assuming this to be sound judgment, it is reason enough for the de feat of the party. A New York Demo cratic critical paper says, that even if it is conceded to be true that Democratic victory will mean repeal of the ballot reform law of New York, poor as it is, and handicapped by the paster system, "it will be only the postponement of the' reform in this one State; for the larger and moro important issues are those in volved in the National contest, upon which the New York election must have such a vital effect." This seems very adroit at first glance, but will be found to be weak reasoning and mere begging;. Tho friends of ballot reform in New York cannot afford to stultify themselves by consenting that the little they have gained may be wrecked in order to aid in the triumph of whatever chieftain a polit ical party may choose to honor in a Na tional campaign. The settlement of the local issue need not Unporfl any other issue affecting the ■well being of the whole country. If the Democratic party is defeated in New York by the exertions of tho friends of ballot reform, because of its animosity in that State to that reform, the causes of the result of the election will be well under stood by the people of tho United States. For it happens that the Democratic party, as a national party, is not amenable to the charge of enmity to ballot reform. More Democratic than Republican Con ventions have declared for ballot reform. To ask independent voters, therefore, to aid a particular party to success at the ex pense of convictions of right concerning the inviolability of tho ballot, is to insult intelligence and manhood. L«t tUo ballot reform pooplo lof Now SACBAMEfrTO DAILY BECORP-UNIOK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1801.—SIX PAGES. York stand by their colors and make no compromises. If, after all that has been said and done, the Democratic party in New York is still so dominated by Hill ism that it cannot approve genuine ballot reform, let it suffer defeat for that reason, and because a party so situated it is not to be trusted to keep promises. Such an outcome cannot possibly affect any na tional issues in which the Democracy may be marshaled on the right side. The local promise to do well in the future in the matter of the ballot law, if allowed to sin a little longer, is contemptible and not worthy of consideration. Indeed, Democratic ballot reformers in New York do not hestate to say as much to their party. GOVERNMENT OF CITIES. Seth Low, in the Century, says home rule for cities, within well determined limits, is based upon experience and ought to prevail. True legislative con trol of cities is the synomyni of corrup tion. To govern a city well the State should make it as nearly independent as can be done and preserve a constitutional form of government. We believe Mr. Low is sound in these statements: The States have passed mandatory laws compelling localities to undertake public works whether they wunttd to or not, and they Interfered generally in the ueiails of city action loan Inoonoelvable extent. Sufficient experience has been hud of each of these reme dies to make it perfectly ckaitl at the remedy is worse tb&O the gtagaas. Xh»*o thiee points, therelure, appear to be clear: First, wnen ua u.suai work is to be done which cannot readily be carried forward by the ordinary officials of the city, the city aud not the .ug islature should Uttarmine the men by whom tlie work is to be carried ou; secondly, the btate Constitution should prohibit tiro .Lt-gis launv from a -!?iiig mandatory laws to com pel a locality to undertake public works to r>e paid for by the locality; ami thirdly, the Legislature should not be permitted continu ally to interfere to suspend or alter the city charter. The mob demonstration at Oinahu was greatly discreditable to the city. That such a lynching should take place upon the border and in a new settlement where the restraints of the law are lax, would not be surprising. But Omaha is a large city, peopled by some of tho best pro ducts of American civilization; a city where the machinery of the law is sup posed to be ample for the suppression of the lawless spirit, which in such a place should be light. It is unaccountable how such a city should be so powerless before a mob. We cannot help thinking that the officials were infected by the mob spirit and that they did not care to offer to the lawless crowd any serious resistance. This, if true, makes the disgrace only tho more humiliating. If so important a city as Omaha is unable to protect its prison ers from violence, no matter what their offenses, to the West there will attach a very unenviable character. REITZ PITCHED.

In connection with the last weekly crop report sent out by the State Agricultural Society and Director Barwiek of tho Gov ernment Weather Bureau, Mr. Barwiek publishes a letter to the various volun tary crop observers throughout the State, in which he says: "Weekly crop bulletins will be reissued again about tho first week In April of next year, and continued weekly up to the last week in September. Beginning with September, 1891, there will be issued by the State Weather service (under con trol of the State Agricultural Society, in co-operation with the United States Weather Bureau) a monthly report, whierti will give the effects of the weather lor that month on the planting and grow ing of crops, etc. It will show the high est and lowest temperatures, the mean or average temperatures and the total pre cipitations from nearly 300 railroad sta tions, fifty or moro voluntary stations, twenty-six lighthouse stations and ail the military posts in the State. "This will give our monthly records nearly or quite 400 stations from which re ports will be received, giving us fuller re ports and covering more torriiory than any other State in the Union, I would be very glad to roceive a monthly report of crop conditions from each and every erojj cur respondent who has been furnishing a weekly report. The monthly reports can be made apod the same blank. This is intended for thosa correspondents who have no instruments; those who have in struments furnish a monthly report on special forms, which includes a crop re port as well. "The people of Southern California have asked the Chief of the United States Weather Bureau for a continuation oi the weekly crop bulletin during the entire year, which has bceu grouted, and from now on weekly crop bulletins will be is sued fur Southern California south of Tehachapi) by George E. Franklin, the efficient observer in cLarge of the United States Woaiher Bureau oiiice in Los An geles. I would bc> pleased to receive from the weekly correspondents in (Southern California a monthly report, from each and every one of them, o: the condition of crops and tho effect the weather has had upon them, the icpunw for the month to reach Sacramento not later than the i.o. li of tho •aeoeeding month, lam desirousof seeing South ern California as fully and as well repre sented in our monthly reports as any other portion of the State. "The State Weather Service now being established by ihe Chief of the United States Weather Bareao. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C is in tended lor the benefit of ihe whole State, north, .south, east and west. If one por tion show s more and better reports than the other, the fault will be louud with the people of the section from which the reports arc nc.ived. Blanks und printed envelopes will be tarnished any and all persons who will agree to report promptly at the end of each month the outlook tor agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, or any other product that may be raised in thei;- especial vicinity. "This open letter is an invitation to all to send a report to the Director of the fckate Weai her Service, at Sacramento, Cal., each month; one for September would be very acceptable and highly ap preciated if received by October 2 th. It is the intention of the State Agricultural Society to have these monthly reporis printed for the State Weather Service, which is in their hands, in co-operation with the United Statos Weather Bureau. I am authorized by Edwin F. Smith, Secretary of the State Agricultural Soci ety, to say that lie would be well pleased to see a monthly report from California that will be not only equal to those of any other State in the United States, but, if possible, better. Let exceloior be our motto, and never falter be our guide. "Before closing, gentlemen, allow me. on behalf of Professor Mark W. Harring ton, Chief of the United States Weather Bureau, and the SUte Agricultural So ciety, through its efficient Secretary, Ed win F. Smith, to thank you moat heartily for your weekly contributions during the planting, growing and harvesting season of the year 1891, and your promptness and regularity in forwarding your weekly reports, and we trust and hope that you will be as prompt and regular in forward ing your monthly reports. "Ihe Director of the State Weather Service congratulates every crop observer for tho part each one has so unselfishly taken in making our reports equal to those of lowa, Tsew York and North Carolina, and greatly to excel every other State in the Union, which fact redounds to the honor and glory of California, which has more sunset-kissed shores than any four States in North America. I ant in a position to judge of the merits of each State's Weekly Crop Bulletin, because all State Weather Services ex change their weekly and monthly reports one with the other."

A FIENDISH DEED. The Overland Express! Train Derailed by Train-Wreckers. One Coach Hurled Fifty Feet Down an Embankment—But Nobody was Seriously Injured. This community -was thrown into a fever of excitement at an early hour yes terday morning by a report gaining cur rency to the effect that the first-class overland express train, duo here at 5:25 A. H., had been wrecked while coming down the mountain, and that many per sons were killed and scores injured. As the story flew from mouth to mouth it became wildly exaggerated, until finally the list of killed had been boomed up to the number of forty, aDd the in jured at more than a hundred, every time the story was told the number being in creased. Tho report was that the acci dent has been caused by the spreading of a rail. Fortunately the wild rumors that were spread had no truth in them beyond the fact that an accident had occurred. There was nobody seriously injured. The facts, as subsequently developed, were these: The train, which is known as No. 4, left Coliax on its way hither at 3:20 a. it. It was in cnarge of Conductor M. V. Murray, with Engineer B. 11. Estabrook piloting the locomotive. Five minutes later, while running at about twenty-live miles an hour, and when within less than a mile of Lander Station, a partially re moved rail was struck on a curve over a revine, and just after emerging from a cut. The train consisted of a locomotive, a baggage car, two mail cars, a combination express and baggage car, a smoker, one day coach, four Pullman sleeping coaches and a caboose containing the crew of a freight train returning from beyond tho mountains. The engineer felt the engine jar as it ■went safely over the disturbed rail, and immediately applied the air-brakes. The baggage and mail cars, the smoker and day coach also passed over the rail in safety, but when the heavy Pullman sleeping tars struck it they forced it off the ties and all left the track, bumping over the ties for a short distance. None of the .sleepers, however, left the grade except the last one, the "Santa Cruz," -which broke its couplings and wont down the embankment fifty feet into tho ravine, where it finally "found lodgment against a tree, after having once tin ne er as it neared tho bottom. The caboose was detached from the sleeper and thrown across the track, al most at right ancles with the rails. tireat excitement ensued among those who were aroused and discovered what had happened, although many pas sengers in the sleeping-coaches which remained on the grade were not even awakened. Conductor Murray was in the smoker at the timo, and rushing out he saw at a glance the startling character of the accident. Directed by the cries that came up from the wrecked Bleeping-car, lie hastened down through the brush, followed by a number of trainmen and passengers from the day coaches. They iound the occu pants of tho wrecked sleeper iten in number) making frantic etl'oris to escape through windows. Conductor Murray broke in one of the doors, and in a short time the imprisoned passengers were all It was found that none were seriously injured, although several re ceived bruises and scratches caused by the tumbling about they received while oach was going down the grade. In the meantime a messenger had sped a England Mills, a couple of miles ide of where the accident occurred, from w! ten point word was telegraphed lent Wright's office in this I" tin- !i ly hurt, it was deemed best to have physf ..ais along. Among the passengers on the wrecked train was Jerome Madden, Land Agent lor the southern branch of the Southern J'aeinc Company's lines. Mis. Madden i guest the foot.

SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORD-TTNTOK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1891.—SIX PAGES. and after a brief stop for dinner pro ceeded on to San Francisco. A Record-Union reporter interviewed several of the passengers, and all ex prensod themselves as having been splen didly treated by the agents of the com pany. One man said he w ras in the smoker, and wide awake when the accident oc curred, and he would not have known that anything unusual had happened but for the excitement that immediately fol lowed. Conductor Murray said that a number of passengers in tho three sleepiug coaches that left the rails but remained on the grade were not even awakened by the sudden stopping of the cars. The coach that went down the grade was not, he said, badly injured. In its descent a lady and her child had become rolled up in the bedding, and when rescued they were almost smothered. That nobody was killed, nor even pain fully injured, is regarded by both* pas sengers and railroad officials as nothing short of a miracle. The track was cleared oarly in the afternoon, and trains passing as usual. REWARD FOR THE FIENDS. Tho Railroad Company Will Pay Well for Their Arrest. The following telegram was received last evening from General Manager Towne: San Francisco, Oct. 12th. At about 3:30 o'clock tins morning passen ger train No. 4 was partially derailed at a point aboul three miles west of Calt&x, Placer County, by certain persona having removed the spikes and lish-plates from one or more rails, abd displacing the latter lothal the train was derailed and several passengers wt.iv injured. Thetsoathern Pacific Company will pay a reward of $5,000 for the arrest and convic tion ot each of said persons. Farther particu lars can bo obtained of the undersigned. A. N. TOWNE, GenerafManager. THE WKECKBBS. No Effort to bo Spared in Hunting Them Down. There are certain things which point to the fact that the perpetrators of the terri ble deed—which might have resulted in the horrible torture and death of scores of human being—were not far away from the scene at the time the train was de railed. Conductor Godding, of the freight crew, who occupied the caboose on the rear end of the train, dispatched one ot his men immediately back along the road, with a lantern to warn any other train behind of its danger. This man reported that he had gone but a short distance up the track when he heard a man in the bushes clobo by. Ho called out to him, but got no answer. He, however, heard him breaking through the chaparral in his efforts to got away. The trainman did not then know the nature of the accident, suppos ing it to have resulted from natural causes of some kind. Another member of the crow, on look ing out of the window of the caboose, saw a man near by watching the pro ceedings, and as the people poured out of the cars ho diiiuppeared toward the hill adjoining. THE CHOWUAK. It is said tho broken crowbar found near the spot was recognized by the road men as one stolen from their outfit two miles distant. HUNTING THE WHECKEKS. Superintendent Wright was seen at his office shortly before midnight last night by a Kkcohu-Union reporter. He was holding council with Warden Anil of the Folsom Prison and Chief of Police Drew. He said they had several officers of Placer County, as well as some of the company's detectives, out hunting for the perpetrators of the crime, and in tended to leave no stone unturned in the ellort to run them down. Most of the officers have theories as to the identity of the outlaws, and have set to work to verify them i! possible. There are some who think the Dallons are the men thai did the job, while others believe that the arch fiends live in that neighbor hood. Certain it is that in the eastern portion of Placer County there are a few old-time residents who are believed to be none too good to engage in work of that kind, and have been suspected before now of im plication in train robberies. As will be seen below, Manager Towne offers a liberal reward for the arrest and conviction of one or all of the train wreckers, a reward that should call out the best detective talent in the State. Chief of Police Drew and Detective Simmons left last night for the scene of the wreck. GARDNER ON TRIAL. His Third Appearance Before a Judge and Jury- The third trial of Daniel Gardner, charged with criminally assaulting little Lizzie Cox, something like a year ago, was commenced in Superior Judge Van Fleet's court yesterday. The entire day was consumed in im paneling a jury. The questioning the talesmen Avere sub jected to, particularly by Grove L. John son, one of the attorneys for the defenso, was very close and searching. He was particular to know whether or not tho re ports in the newspapers would affect the minds of the jurors, and whether or not they had any prejudice against a man be cause he is accused of the crime of crimi nal assault. A jury was secured before adjournment last evening, and tho taking of testimony will begin to-day. Following are the jurors selected to hear the case: Robert Williamson, Fred P. Gage, L. B. Mohr, .1. P. Eldred, N. J. Bruudage, Louis Payne, Asa O. Chapman, Peter Planalp Maurice Leavitt, James L. Clark, Jere miah Burton and Dennis R. Hunt. THAT CRUSHED WHEEL. Trackmau Horstmoyer Denies That 110 Was to Blame for It. Fred Horstmeyer waa the driver of the truck which on Saturday took a wheel off a huggy »n which Frank Cox's little daugh ter was trying to make her way through a throng of vehicles on J street. He says be did his best to avoid a collision, and brought his team to a halt in order to give her an opportunity to pass by, which he says could easily have been done by any one capable of managing a horse. "I've been driving a truck here for ten years," he added, "and no person can justly complain that I have ever inter fered with their right of way. But be tweeo the street cars, delivery wagons, hacks and baggies, I tell you the truck man basno i asy time of "it in trying to get through the streets, especially when he has a load oi from one to two tons to handle." Odd Fellows' Committees. The following-named gentlemen have been appointed members of the Commit tee of Arrangements to prepare for the Grand Fncunpment, which will meet here on the 21st: Sacramento, No. 2—J \V.

Taylor, the defendant has filed adenanrrax to the complaint on the alleged ground that it do«s not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. SCANDINAVIA. Something About the Land of the Midnight Sun. Rev. Dr. Hamma Describes What Ho Saw and Learned In That Pic turesque Country. "Scandinavia, or the Land of the Mid night Sun," was tho subject of a lecture given last evening at the Congregational Church for the benefit of the English Lutheran Church, by Rev. M. W. Ham ma of New York. There were about two hundred and fifty persons in attendance, and they woro treated to as interesting a discourse on the beauties of nature in Norway as they could wish to have heard from the tongue ot any speaker. The lecturer has a line voice, and speaks with such distinctness that it is al most impossible for the listener to mis understand any word he utters. With the aid ot magnificent stereopticon views, and by his excellent descriptive powers, Rev. Hamma held tho attention of his audience for nearly two hours. Scandinavia, he said, was a beautiful country in the far north, stretching from its southern point northward eleven hun dred miles to the Arctic zone, and meas uring in breadth about lour hundred miles. It is the land of the Norseman, is strikingly picturesque, for its mead owed valleys, so green and beautiful, its vast and numerous glaciers, and its many mountains conspicuous for their almost perpendicular slopes. The lecturer designated it as the most unique country in the world, whose unsurpassed beauty he claimed to be able to show by the time he completed his course of lectures. To begin a tour of Norway properly, one should start from Christiania. He be gan his trip from that city one year ago last July, and examined the country in detail, lie learned that the people were devoted to their ruler, King Oscar 11., and he in turn was an exceptionally con siderate monarch—in fact, considered by many to be one of the most cultured and learned in Europe. Though the country is a kingdom, the system of government partakes more of the nature ot a repub lic. The people are an independent class, and tho ruler knows that their wishes must be respected. The speaker said that the inhabitants of the country looked upon the education of tho child as of the greatest importance, and he claimed that Norway was the low est in per cent, of illiteracy of any nation in the world. The Lutheran was the generally established religion. The highways were the finest possessed by any nation. They were built by the Government, and it then devolvodupon the owners of the property bordering on the roads to keep them in the best of repair for ail time. Red posts, with placards on which were inscribed the names of land-owners, are placed along the roads, and by this means a traveler is enabled to report any negligence on the part of the property-owners to the Government authorities. The speaker described the various ve hicles used for the conveyance of travel ers and freight, and portrayed the moJes of life of the classes, from the lowly fish erman to tho wealthy land-holder. The homes were described in detail, and the dress of the people on ordinary occasions, and also on occasions of ceremony. The hospitality shown by all was a striking characteristic, as well as their kindness to their beasts of burden, which were i petted almost (but not quite) as much as the American pug dog. Rev. Hainma will toll to-morrow night what he saw in Sweden. AT THE BATHS. A Flno Aerial Gymnastic Performance by the Leons. Those who attended the swimming baths last evening witnessed an unusu ally good athletic entertainment. Tho performers were tho Loons, two professional trapezists—lady and gentle man—and very clever people at their business. An aerial horizontal bar had been sus pended some fifteen feet above the water, as was also an apparatus known as "La Shell." Mr. Leon first appeared alone, and mounting the horizontal bar ex ecuted a number of daring feats, requir ing strength and skill. He was loudly applauded for his performance. The lady next appeared, and the two performers gave an exhibition on the other apparatus. The strength exhibited by the lady was wonderful, she doing most of the heavy work in the act. Her companion leaped and somersaulted from a Hying trapeze and caught her hands. Mr. Leon finished with a double somer sault into the water. At the conclusion of the performance Professor Barry, the swimming teacher, Joe Dolan and several others climbed up on the apparatus and essayed to imitate the Leons. Their efforts and falls into the water kept the spectators convulsed with laughter. The managers of the bathß have an nounced that the Leons will appear again this evening, and each evening during thdweek. HEALTH OF THE STATE. Returns for September Show That Fevers Were Prevalent. In his report for September, Dr. J. R. Lame, Secretary of the State Board of Health, says: "Mortality reports from sixty-three cities, towns, villages and localities, having an aggregate popula tion of 675,551, show tho total number of deaths fropi all causes iv September to have been 929, making a death rate per 1,000 of 16.44 per annum. "Consumption was tbe cause of death in 129 cases, pneumonia in 38, bronchitis 13, congestion of the lungs in 8, diarrhea and dysentery in ;sO, cholera infantum in 30, and other diseases of the stomach and bowels 63, diphtheria 33, membranous croup 10, whooping-cough t>, typhoid lever 26, malaria fevers cerobro-spinal fever 3, cancer 20, erysipelas 8, heart disease 73, alcoholism 8, and from all other causes 444. "Reports from fifty-five localities give 30 cases of cholera infantum, 1(58 of diar rhea, 47 of cholera morbus, 41 of dysen tery, 29Jof measles, 10 of scarlatina, 20 of diphtheria, 18 of membranous croup, 31 of whooping-cough, 12 of erysipelas, 89 of typhoid fever, 379 of malarial fevers, 2 of cerebral fever, 11 of pneumonia, 62 of bronchitis, 9 of congestion of the lungs, 42 of influenza, and 5 of rheumatism. "In the foregoing 'typho-malarial fever' is classed as typhoid fever, and 'in termittent and remittent fevers' as malarial fevers." REED IN COURT. Tho Libel Case Is Subjected to a Con tinuance. Farmer Reed of Florin, who got himself into trouble by making a sensational speech at Florin recently, in which he charged three of the members of the Supervisors with receiving bribes, ap peared before Justice Henry yesterday on the charge of criminal libel preferred against him. When Judge Henry called up the case the prosecution was ready, but Reed was not. The latter wanted time in which to summon witnesses and prepare his de fenso. After a brief consultation a continu ance for two weeks was agreed to by both. sides. There came near being a scuffle be tween Reed and Nevis, tho wine-man, on the sidewalk in front of the court. Nevis espied Reed, and wanted to know if he had said that he (Nevis) had stated that the Supervisors had been bribed. Heed was not disposed to argue the matter, and said something about "it all coming-out in court." NeviVhad worked himself into quite a rage, and advanced toward the Floririite as if to striko him. Police Omcer Higgins happened to be near, however, and prevented hostilities. The Weather. The Government weather reports yester day show the temperature at 5 a. m. and 5 p. m. to have been 52° and 82°, while tho highest and lowest temperatures were 84° and 50^, as against 72° and 46° for the same date last year. The highest and lowest one year ago to day were 76° and 45°, showing the present warm spell to be much more so than usual. The barometer is about stationary at 29.92 inches, with light northerly winds and calms. A very high barometer pre vails north of this State, thus insuring northerly winds for this portion of Cali fornia. W. C. T. U. Excursion to Boston. Under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, an excur sion train for the World's and National Convention at Boston will leave San Francisco November 3d. It will stop for a little while at Los Angeles and over Sunday at New Orleans-that unique city of America.

John Clark, the young man who was cut by Wm. £wifi on Sunday, says it is not true that he was then under the in fluence of liquor, nor that he drew a knife on Swift. lie declares he had no weapon. He added that he and Swift are old irionds. aud that he would not prosecute him, but that be (Clark) disclaimed being in any way responsible for what occurred. Send Officer Campbell After Them. Residents iv the immediate neighbor hood of Seventh and P streets complain strenuously of the conduct of a gang of hoodlum who congregate thero nightly and uso such foul language that the occu pants of houses are composed to close their doors and windows to prevent their children from hearing the language. A Tardy Juror. F. A. Jones was called as a iuror in Superior Judge Van Fleet's court yester day, but did not appear until quite a whilo later. When he did put in appearance he explained that he had forgotten that ho was wanted. Judge Van Fleet said he guessed he would "jog" the juror's memory, apd fined him §15. Suit on a Note. It. 11. Mahoue commenced suit in the Superior Court yesterday against ex-Su pervisor H. C. Koss for the recovery of $480, that being the principal and interest of a promissory note.

The attorneys for Mebius Drescher have filed a demurrer to the complaint of William W. White, in the letter's suit against that firm, alleging that the com plaint is ambiguous, unintelligible, un certain and does not state facts stffflcient f6r an action at law. The Water We Use. At the meeting of the Board of City Trustees yesterday the Chief Engineer of the Water Works reported that during the past week 39/748,000 gallons of water were pumped. The Holly engine was in operation 73 hours and the Stevens 145 i hours. Natural-Gas Meeting.

4 EVERYBODY'S COLUMN. Correspondence of Interest to the I ral Public. [Under ibis beading tho Ew»RD4Jkioh will publißh short lettere from correspondents on topics of interest to the general public. The i latter lv these ooniimmicn.tio;is will be un derstood to represent only the views of the writers. All communications must be accom panied by The name of tho writer, not for pub lication, unless no desired, but as a guarantee of good faith.—EDS.] Old Crank Poses as a Communist and Tries Moral Suasion. It is an old saying and a true one, that "tho pen is mightier than tho sword." You ni.iy ask a man if he believes any thing, and if he says no, you may tie him hand and loot, and scourge him until he is nearly crazy, ana possibly you may got him to admit that he believes it, to es cape punishment, but ho don't, and the minute you let him loose away he scoots, just as inuoh a skeptic as he was before; but if you take that man and argue with him, until you convince him, you have got him forever; there is no going back alter he is satisfied that the thing is true. I had boon around listening a good deal to the agitators of the labor question, and had heard of tho millions of capital in tho hands of the few, which properly be longed to the many producers, and in nearly all cases the idea seemed to pre vail that it was necessary to make a big display of force in order to make the un just holders disgorge their unholy accu mulations and divide them among those who rightfully should be the possessors of the wealth their labor had produced. Thinks 1 to myself, boys, you are on tho wrong tauk. 1 always had a won dorful gift of gab, and I felt sure I could make anyone of those millionaire fellows not only willing but anxious to divide all he had by simply arguing with him for fifteen minutes, so I started out on an equalizing crusade. The lirst man 1 met was old Sweet, and Bay* I: "Friend Sweot, you havo got a good deal more than your share of this world's goods. It is not conducive to the welfare of society that one man should havo millions and another man havo BCaroelv enough to buy his daily bread. I think If you would fork over a few thousands to me and a few thousands to each of my poor neighbors, your heart v.'ould be much lighter and we should all be happier." Says he: "Look here, Old Crank, I made my millions by raising and retin ing sugar. Can you, or anyone else, deny the fact that 1 havo sold to you and all others, better sugar at much lower prices than you or they ever bought be fore. Now I cant see that I have harmed anyone, and all the millions that I have acquired I have got to exchange for other products of labor in order to derive auy benefit for myself, and I can't see why it won't do just as much good to the world, if I exchange it, as it will if I give it to you and your neighbors and let you exchange it." I next saw Mr. Towns, and I says t'> him: "My friend, I think this world would bo much better if the wealth, which we see around us, was more evenly dis tributed. It must bo a great burden to you to have so much to take care of while i, and many of my neighbors, can scarcely obtain the necessaries of life. Now 1 will take a few of your thousands, and my neighbors will take a few more of your thousands, and so we will lighten your burden aud benefit ourselves at the same time, and we will all be happier." "Now look here, Old Crank," says he, "I can see right through your little game. It don't bother me any to take care of the few millions I nave acquired. It is truo I have to keep them moving in order to derive any benefit for myself, but 1 pre fer exchanging them with'others for some product of labor rather than give them to you and your neighbors and trusting to you to exchange them. I didn't harm you, or anyone else, by acquiring what I have In fact, I think 1 benefited a good man3 r. I was out West and I ran across a tine piece of land located where 1 know there would be a railroad in a few years. The old fellow who owned it was anxious to sell, and I paid him his price, and then I laid it out in town lots, and tho lirst man who came along I hailed, and I says to him: "Old man, I will give you a inagnincent citj- lot if you will only pitch m and build yourself a home on it.' He jumped at the chance, and every man who came along for tho next month 1 served in the same way, until I Jiad given away just about half the lots I had. Tho consequence was a citj* sprung up at once, and tiie price of lots went up, a rid i sold enough to make me a million aire." While we wore talking old man Rail way came along and listened to tho con versation, ho 1 turned to him and said: "Don't you think if you should divide up a few of your millions among tho poor laborers whose hard work gave you a large portion of what you have accumu lated that the world would be bettered? You know that the Government gave you every alternate section of land for twenty miles on each side of your road for building it, and you know that each one of the men who worked for you had just as much right to that land as you had?' 1 Says ho: "old Crank, T thought you had little common sense. You have just beard Mr. Towns explain how he made money l.y giving away half of his town lots; don't you Bee that the Government was acting on the same principle? Tho land was where nobody could get to it, r gel anything which might be raised on ii to market, consequently it was not worth ten cents an acre; but when a rail road was constructed through it it becamo available for use, and consequently valu able. The half which the Government retained was worth ten times what the whole was worth without the railroad; s, the inoalnjable benefit in cheaper fares and transportation which the road furnished to all who could use it. As lor tho men whoao labor made tho road they were paid as much lor their services as they could obtain elsewhere. iu>t«;. i. f the world being harmed by the way wo obtamtsl our wealth it has been im menaely benefited, a.s anyone with half any eye can secuand what we have ac quired we have rV> keep exchanging for other products of labor in order to derive any benefit ourselves." 1 turned away and saw little Mi.ss Music r hanging vt-r the wash tub, or performing other arduous toil. i>o you think it Is right for you to make :dl this display while they cah hardly ob iam enough to hide their natural beau ty?' Thank you, oid ('rank, for your coin said she; "and I w*i-,;j one my sisters wire as well o am. God gave me a musical v me, and l can't ser how i am injuring my sisters by ex ercising the one talent given lv me. As for my toilet It is the product of my sisters' labor, and was liberally paid lor." I can't m i have harmed anyone by ac quiring what 1 have. Evidently those who gave it to me received what they an equivalent in return; ana, i .i:;;m exchange all l have for others' products in order to derive any .ii it for mvselC" Inn very Lirpe family of In vi-nti.rs, whose combined wealth is un known millions, and everyone of them asserted i >ldly thai they had given to the world more production in exchange for the production which they had i :u return than the world ever knew be fore. S them said all tiny u-.ul asked wasa frur t.-st between (heold way of producing and tin ir uewly-disooverod way of producing tne same articles. They ■'.lowed one-half of the saving only", leaving the other half for reduction m Qd niaiiutacturcr's profits, thus benefiting consumers much as well as themselves, besides exchanging all they acquired for other products ot' labor. r of wt alth asserted that the laborers who produced his wealth i;aJ been paid as much as they could ou laiu for thrir services elsewhere, which seemed self-evident} because, if they COtl.d h»vo ohli»in«>rt jnnr« «lsmvhprp. they would have taken it—consequently they hud not beon wronged; and, be side.", all MOOrted that they must ex chii'ice what they had acquired for other products, which they could use person nlly, in order to derive any personal ben efit from their wealth, and by this ex change other producers were benefited, which also seemed self-evident, because, if it wore otherwise, the producers would not exchange. I visited the large clan of speculators i who have w ays of their own for forcing the prices of stocks and other articles of traffic up or down at their pleasure, and by purchasing and repurchasing at low prices, and selling and reselling at higher prices, they double and redouble their gains. When I told them that the world would be much better if their accumula tions, obtained in such a questionable manner, were distributed among those from whom they had been derived, they laughed in my face aud asked mo if they were not as competent to distribute what they possessed, where it would do good, as were the imbeciles who had volun tarily squandered their hard-earned pit tance in a vain attempt to become wealthy instead of being content with a slowly acquired competence. My spirits were very buoyant when I started out, but I began to feel much de preatcd. Was thero no way to get the abundant millions, now controlled by a lew, distributed among the many, but the barbarous way of brigandage, rob bing the rich, or capturing them and ex torting a heavy ransom? I always was opposed to coercion by physical forces, except as a defense against aggression, and I never before knew an argument which possessed essential truth, lailed to show a convincing power, no matter how bunglingly it was presented. Was it possible that there was some fiaw in my argument? What was my argument anyhow? Why this: That the many millions of the accumulations of the products of labor, now in the hands of comparatively lew, if distributed in lesser quantities, would give a compe tence to many, and consequently the world would be bettered. That this is es sentially truth appeared to me as plain as the garb of a Quaker. Why then did the power of truth fail to emanate from it? Was it possible that the natural way by which tho products of labor are distrib uted was quite as good for the world? Was this social relation governed by nat ural forces, like the elements? Water, for an illustration, which we see in motion, in springs, in rills, in brooks, in rivers, in ponds, in lakes, in oceans; in evaporation and In rain; sometimes destructive in lo calities, but indispensable lor the uni versal good? I resolved to go home and ask Try phena what she thought about it. I bought a couple of loaves of bread and started for home, feeling quite blue, as a man always does when he fails in any thing which lie undertakes with high hopes. I hadn't gone far when I met my neighbor, Jim Tippler, who was in a mood just the reverse of mme—he was hilarious. Says he: "Old Crank, you are just the boj' I wanted to meet. I haven't a loaf of bread to my name; give mo one of those loaves of bread." Says I: ,"JLook here, Jim. ain't you putting it on rather thick. I nave spent over hfty yoars in hard, constant toil. For yean at a time I haven't taken a full holiday; I haven't drank a drop of liquor or smoked a cigar: it is very seldom that 1 have gone to any place of amusement, and my wife has been just as economical as I; while you hir*o made it a practice, whenever you could get a lev* dollars ahead, of going to some saloon and hav ing a good time while your money lasted, and now you want me to divide what 1 have saved. I can't see the justice of it." Jim's temper didn't seem to be ruffled in the least. Says he, in just as sweet a voice as before, "You are a darned old fool crank. 1 wouldn't live the niggardly life you have lived not if I could be ten millionaires at your age. Co on home with your old stale bread, I don't want it" I started oh", but hadn't gone far before my conscience began to smite me. Cer tainly Jim had just as good a claim on me as I hr.d on any of the capitalists whom I had been trying to persuade to divide with me, and those Who had less, and I had done just as they had done, i. 0., re fused to divide. I turned around and called, "Jim, come here," and when ho came up I handed out a loaf of bread, and says, "Take it Jim; you are welcome to it.'' Says he, "Darn your bread. Old Crank, I don't want it; give me a nickel to get me a glass of beer." I gave him the nickel and went home feeling "solcmner than ever." Old Ckaxk. COMMERCIAL. SACRAMENTO MARKET.

It is decidedly unique and reads as follows: Members of the C. P. A.: It does me honor to welcome you beneath tho shad ows of grand old Mount Shasta, where chivalry prevails and men die with their dancing pumps on. Kore is where the droopy-eyed tourist comes in the sum mer to rejuvenate his other lung; where tho fortune huntress comes to seek a rich catch, and departs in the fall with an Italian woodchopper, and where the railroad snowplow battles with tho "beautiful" from Thanksgiving Day un til it is time to mail your valentines. As men and editors I am pleased to welcome you. I hope that none of you cherish any ill-will because I have neglected to place you on my exchnngo list.

We also oifer extra inducements to publishers who wish to club with the Mascot. Do not think that because I have been suc cessful as an editor and publisher that I hold myself above you. I would will ingly take by the haud such men as Jones, Reid, Waterson, McLran, Pulit zer, Chikls, Bennett, De Young or Hearst, which goes to show that I am not proud. Right here at home I will speak to you on the streets in tho presence of my friends. 1 will see that you enjoy your visit. I have leased the brewery until your train pulls out. I will take you i around personally, and will have the Sunday-school turn out if he is well j enough. I will show you the exact spot Where Carmino Charley shot a kidney I out of Cold-Deck Richard. I will take you to Dr. Fleet's office and show you a two-gallon jar full of picklud eyeballs i that were gouged out in the European saloon the week we had the races. I ha\ c had the lynching of By-Gone Williams, tke best authority on horses in the State, postponed until this evening so you could enjoy it. I will escort yo"u to the city languishor, where nine as line gentlemen as you ever met aro awaiting examina tion for "killing their m;>.u.' They will be released alter their hearing in tho morning, and if you will remain a few hours longer 1 can promise you ix dandy blow-out. Wo will al*o go over Gore Slough and see Crank Hatterly—most ec centric man you ever saw—hasn't taken I a drink of r.quor since the Fourth of I July. At my office I will show you a j Waterbury newspaper press, with a long stem on it, that runs with the aid of c.no man, a boy and some profanity. I will present to your worthy President a skull that I use on my desk as a paper weight. It has sixty-two bullet holes in it, and once adorned the shoulders of an Eastern maw who put up at a hotel here and asked for a^ linger bowl. "Now, boys, I give you the freedom of tho city, in whose name I welcome yt>u. :Gp forth and enjoy yourselves.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS. The Election for Charter Freeholders To Be Held. 7So Pay Yet for the Special Police men—An opinion From the City Attorney. The ordinance introduced by Trusteo I McLaughlin concerning the election of I fifteen freeholders for the city, was taken up at yesterday's session and read for a eecond time. The Mayor said he had talked with sev- j eral prominent citizens regarding the matter, and he was in doubt as to whether or not it would be policy to vote for the ordinance. Its passago might interfere i with the work of the Funded Debt Com- mission. At any rate, the city was get- ting along well enough at present, and he j thought "well enough" ought to be let j alone. If he were to vote on the ordi- j uance at present he would have to vote I **no,»' but possibly by next Monday he might be able to vote "aye." Trustee Conklin said it would do no harm to pass the ordinance and bring the matter properly before the people. Then both sides could bo heard, and if those j opposed to the ordinance could convince ihe board that it would not be for the j city's interest to pass it, the ordinance j could be rescinded. The roll was called and Trustees Me- Laughlin and Conklin voted "aye." i Mayor Coinstock voted "no," and de clared the ordinance adopted. The freeholders will be named by the j board next Monday. A petition was received from Martin Halloran and others asking that Folsoin gravel be used in the proposed improve- ment of D street from Eleventh to Thir- teenth. The petition was granted. The petition of property owners that the board order Fred Klliott to remove his alley fence in the block bounded by X. and M, Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, which petition was referred to Trustee McLaughlin last week, was agfniu laken up, and at Mr. McLaughlin's re- j quest he was granted another weak to re- j port. THE SMOKE NTISANCK. In regard to tho nuisance which the j people living in the vicinity of Thirteenth j «uid J complained of at the last meeting, I namely: the vast volumes of smoke that poured oat of the smokestack at Hill's Waffon Factory, the Mayor said he hud examined the matter and he thought that it would be amicably settled in the near luture. WORK OF THE POLICE. Chief of Police Draw reported that dur ing September tho police had made 249 j wrests. The number of meals furnished j Was 1,521, and there were 12 lodgers j BfloommodatecL The cash balance on hand October Ist was $9 75. I.MPUOVKMENT OF D STREET. Bids for grading and graveling I) street. from Eleventh to Thirteenth, wero opened and read. R. W. Parker was the lowest bidder. GASOLINE A.YD OIL STOBAOE. An ordinance relative to the storage of gasoline was read and laid over for another week. An ordinance regulating the storage of petroleum and retined products thereof was also read for tho first time and laid over under the rules. A TUANSFEK APPROVED. The board passed an order approving of the transfer of the Sixteenth-street contract by tho Street Improvement Company to B. Labs. The bond of the company was canceled, and Mr. Labs ordered to furnish a new one. SPECIAL POUCKXEN'S PAY. On motion of Trustee Conklin the bills of the special police officers who served daring the State Fair were referred back to the Police Commissioners with In structions that they be made out for fourteen days' services, instead of fif teen. Mr. Conklin stated that, although the officers had served fifteen days, the board had authorized their employment for only fourteen days. He was in favor of considering later the question as to whether or not it was right to pay them :or the extra day. MORE STREET MATTERS. John Hughes was granted thirty days extension of time in which to complete the work of grading Twenty-ninth street irom Fto O. Resolutions of intention were passed to lay vitrified iron-stone pipe sewers in the alleys bdween L ami M, Twenty first and Twenty-second streets; M and N, Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, and P and Q, Third and Fourth streets. THE OLD AND CRUMBLING JAIL. Chief of Police Drew appeared before tho board and stated that he desired to make a formal complaint against tho con dition Of the old City Jail building. He said it was a well-known fact that the building was in a very unsafe condition, and it was inhuman to compel prisoners i remain in the place. He asked that the board proceed immediately to find new quarters for the police department. Dr. C. li. Nichols said that, as Health Officer, be had examined the sanitary condition of the building, at the request of Chief Drew, and he found it In adread ful condition. It was not fit for habita tion by any human being, and was in all likhy and dangerous place. The plumb ing system was of the very poorest class. and ought to bo condemned. >n ihe suggestion of Trustee Conklin, it, was decided that the Mayor should call :i meeting of the board and tho Police Commissioners at an early day for the purpose of talking the matter over. SfiftSJCT COMMISSION KK'S POWERS. An opinion was given to the board by Qttjr Attorney Hart in relation to the Sidewalk ordinance, and the power of the reel Commissioner in the premises. Ho said that after a sidewalk had once Ikjcu condemned by the beard the Street fniinillsmU iiuil had jurisdiction to carry out that order, and the board had no power afterward to say when the work should be started, or to extend the time. 11, when notified by the street Commis sioner, a property-holder refuses to lay a walk the Commissioner can call for bids ior doing the work, and have tho sidewalk nut down. The cost of the fame shall constitute a lion against the property, and by proper proceedings in court the money can be collected. oNCKRNIN'i BMDOTBXG ."..WLKOADING. Mr. Conklin brought up the subject of electric cars, and took occasion tore mark th;tt several people had complained to him that the cars in this city w ere run ning altogether too fast for the safety of the tra\ cling public. The Mayor said several farmer complained to bim that they were timid now about letting tlxir wives and fami lies drive into town alone. The ears frightened the horses and did not warn people as often as il.t y should. Mr. Conk.in said they did not iui£ the ngs as often v they did when the cars tint commenced to run. lie thought the rongs ought to be sounded at fvery r. Conklin'e sugge no complaint. a large batch of bills were allowed, artd the board adjourned. NOISY MRS. MILLER. «i.c is Adjudged Gulltyof flntng 1 a Vary Dinntoa Prnnkartl. Mrs. Mary Miller WU tried and found pvrt,'ty of beingaoommon drunkard, by c jury Police Court yesterday. Police Officers Kripp, Hlggina, White and Ridor, and a coaple of otlicr mm testified on behalf of tlio prosecution.

Miller, and several witnesses were sworn in her behalf. They stated that when she was not intoxicated she always con ducted herself in an orderly manner. The iury found the defendant guilty, and ordered her to appear on the 19th inst. for sentence. THE WATER WORKS. Repairs Authorized to be Made by the City Trustees. Trustee Conklin informed the board yesterday that he had taken the trouble to ascertain how much it would cost to make certain improvements and repairs to the machinery in the Water Works, and on the authority of expert machinists he was able to say that for from §300 to £•500 repairs could be made that would greatly strengthen the pumps. He thought that, inasmuch as the city could not well aflbrd at present to purchase a new pump and expend several thousand dollars, it would be a good idea to expend a few hundred dollars in making the present machinery safer. Mr. McLaughlin said that Mr. Conklin's suggestion was a cood one, and he de sired to see it carried out. However, he thought a new pump was necessary, but under the circumstances he did not see how it could be purchased at present. The suggestion of Mr. Conklin was put in the form of a motion and carried unan imously. Ho was authorized to proceed to have the work done immediately. ROW AT CHURCH. I An Arrest for Disturbing a Gathering at Onion Ilouse. Deputy Constable George Martin went i down to the Union House yesterday, and I arrested a youth named Howard Goslin. j The young man is accused by L. O. R. Davis and Mr. Hack of having disturbed j a religious meeting at that place Sunday evening. Goslu.'s story, however, is somewhat different. He says that tho trouble is the j outcome of an old feud between his fam i ily and tbe Davises. His brother went into the church, ho says, to sco his uncle, j and when coming out was assaulted by one of the enemy. The prisoner then ran to his brother's assistance, and for that he was arrested. GRAND JURORS. Several Are Excused—Will Bo Im paneled To-day. The Grand Jury was to have been im i paneled yesterday, but owing to the fact that it was a Jewish holiday, several not I being able to attend for that reason, and I others were absent for other reasons, tho j impaneling was laid over until to-day. Those having excuses were requested J to present them, and as a result John Studarus, Jr., Fred. Cox. Win. Winkle man, G. L. Rodman and J. 11. Faris were I excused. This only loaves twenty-four names to draw the nineteen Grand Jurors from. LIKE THE INDIAN. It Is Not Jones That Is Lost, but tho Otlier Fellows. The police depailment has been not tied that a brakeman named W. T. Jones has been missing from this city since Sep tember 27th, and several of his friends feel uneasy about his disappearance. Officer Uiggins was detailed to look up the case, and he learned that on the night of the 27th Jones sold his time. The oiii cer also ascertained that Jones owes sev eral hundred dollars in different places j throughout the city. Abbott's Latest Shoot. Horace Briggs, who works up the sportsmen's "stuff" for the Examiner, tells the following story about a Sacra mento knight of the trigger: "rug Clerk in the Bacramento Hospital, was chosen, about eighteen months ago, to be Superintend ent of this. Mr. Walsh is a promising young man, and from practical experi ence IS well qualified to discharge satis factorily the duties of the position.

FOLSOM'S LUMBER BOOM. A Warehouse Ooin^ Up—Preparation ft>r Next Season. The Folsorn Telegraph states that work has been commenced on the erection of a large warehouse at the boom. It is 96 feet long by 21 feet wide, and will be used as a storage place for lumber. A largo lodging-house, 20x30 feet, is being built for the accommodation of the workmen, and other buildings will be erected soon. In fact, preparations are being made for the liveliest kind of times at the boom, and before the first of the year the boom camp will bo ss lively a plaro as can be found around this part of the country. The openings at the foot of the big dam were closed the early part of the week in order to give sufficient slack water to drive in the rest of the ties that had re mained further up the river. With the exception of a few, they were successfully fioatod down and caught in the boom, where they are being transformed into box lumber. This was the last drive of the season. The first storm will cause a sufficient rise in the river to float down the big logs that are distributed along the stream, and are in the vicinity of Chile Bar. Colonel Cuminings has everything in readiness to drive the big timbers into the boom, when the work on lumber will begin. A locomotive for use on the timber rail road in the trills has been purchased and will be sent up the road next week. THE SHARPSHOOTERS. Scores Made by Companies at the Trophy Contest.

6 SISTERS OF MERCY. Their Convent School and Grounds to be Improved, Inauguration of a Movement to That End—Tho Ball is Started Rollins In Good Earnest. Some time since a number of gentle men of this city were forced to the conclu sion that the Sisters of Mercy Convent ■was sadly in need of repairs, a complete overhauling, general cleansing, and thor ough improvement in every particular. Two plans were under consideration —one to purchase a block of land in the eastern portion of the city, there erect a new con vent, with all the auxiliary buildings, grounds, etc., and make there a school such as would be the pride not only of those of the Catholic laith, but at the same time would be an ornament to the city, a credit to the cause of education and an honor to this section of the St;ito. The other was to fill the block on which tho present convent stands up to the high grade, put the center building and all the surroundings into perfect sanitary condi tion, improve the streets, build sidewalks of artificial stone all around the block, tear down the old buildings and put new cues in their place, build a modern and ornamental fence around the grounds, beautify the garden, and in every way make the place attractive and healthy. Both of these plans were thoroughly and earnestly disctuned fora longtime las) evening t>y the committee of gentle men in Bishop Manogue'a residence. Finally it was decided that the Sisters shouiaremain where they are, and that no effort be spared to make on the present Bite :i new convent in almost every par ticular. Theso good Sisters, who have done so much for others, who have been the blessed angels at many a bedside of pain and death in this city, who have known no creed nor sect in their ministrations to suffering humanity, have recently fallen into acre straits. The prevalence of sickness in the vicinity of their con vent, caused by the bad sewerage and the accumulation of water on low lots, hail done much to keep pupils away, and to i them some of their best scholars.

DIED IN SAN FRANCISCO. Death of Mrs. Senator Rickey of Car- son, Nevada. Word was received here yesterday by James L. Gillis, Superintendent of the Placerville Railroad, that his sister, Mrs. T. P. Rickey, bad died in San Francisco, a here she had boon for some time for her Ith. When Mr. Gillis saw hi- sister on Sun emed to be greatly improved and hoped to be able to depart soon for fa r home in Carson, and tin- news of her «i ath came with startling suddenness. Deceased was the wife t Hon. Rickey, a ah tnber of the Nevada Senate, and was a woman greatly beloved in the community in which she lived. She iresher husband and four bright and interesting children. AMUSEMENTS. A lino audience witnoiaed tlio presenta tion of Mrs. Pat, Lipinon and Buckley was good. :hcro i^ b demand them by the calls of the play, but it is enough to prove their capability for fine comedy work. All thi a private asylum, was an artistic sssamp a. Tbenvrceii open to the objection :s Unprol pie situate as are I in tiie play would not be so easily dei eived bj oisenlso. or so long be puzzled -taken identity. But then, farce ;.!t often deal in probabilities and M&edy like poetry is given i license. The plot :s one (nil of surprise*. j s r.pi'l in action, constant in the provoca tion of laughter, in\' the people play In Ludicrous situations, a i the working out ol i tne of the Iroitand witty. It is a success ful fluce-comedy^ projected upongentoel jines and is all i: purports to i«\ it is creditable to the ingenuity of its author. and proves her bo have a very good idea I of the demand for amua rather than entertainnu ml it has and will continue to meet with p -pular favor longer than thefaverage of low 1 omc lies. It is fortunate Used in Miiliocs of Homes-— 40 Years the Standard, for the scheme of the author that her piece is so admirably cast, and that such a group of capital actors have it in hand. As a curtain-raiser, Mr. Dickson, Miss Burg and Mr. Edeson played one of the most charming of comediettas, a transla tion from the French. It is a one-act com edy with a wholesome lesson in it. The programme of last night will bo repeated t!iis evening. It is well worthy of pat ronage, and the two plays given afford an audience an evening of much enjoyment. It seems to be necessary "with every ap proach of cool weather to invoke news paper aid to secure at the theaters in this city ordinary fair treatment of audiences in the matter of tho exclusion of draughts. Last night at the Metropolitan the doors were kept wide open the whole evening, and tho consequent draught was so strong as to belly the curtain inward and keep the floating scenery in constant motion. Of coarse it took tho people In the auditorium squarely in the back, and still" necks and catarrh will be the result. Many were the execrations ut tered, and justly so. Even the actors manifested discomfort under the draught. Why the doors should be swung open and persistently kept so, and a stiff chilly breeze sent steadily through the house, only the occult pow- j ers of theatrical management can devine. I The plain, everyday theatergoers, male and female, are aboard enough to believe that doors arc made for closing as well as opening, and that draughts in the back of j the neck are not necessary to the pro- gramme. Manager Henry has gone through this experience, and ought not j invite repetition of complaint at the very outset of his new career by neglect of the ordinary means of comfort for his audi- ence. His attaches last night were aware of the discomfort of the people, but the i complaint went unheeded, ltlis assumed j that the offense will not be repeated. I The Metropolitan Theater, with its inter- i veiling outer lobby and its line of mezza- I nine boxes, ii swinging doors and heavy j curtains, is one of the most comfortable j theaters in the country with its exits i properly managed. They must be, if the public is to be advised to visit it. At the Metropolitan Theater Thursday and Friday nights next Hoyt's best work, "A Midnight Bell," will be presented with the original cast and special scenery. It is not a farce, it will be remembered, for it was played here some time ago with line Bucoess, but a comedy with a pathetic strain in it. It is a personal idyl, a glimpse of New England life of the old time, and is full of feeling and of wit George Kichards still personates Deacon Tidd, and Eugene Canfield is still the mischief of the play, did Deacon Tidd'a constant struggle between an in satiable love of Inn. a judgment of com mon sense, a Ihir share of selfishness and a touch of Puritanical vigor is a study. Pious and tender, ho wants peace, but he wants ollicc, and is willing to do any thing to make the "decstrick" prosperous; he wants his finger in the pie. He has had "hammered into him since early childhood the doctrine of damnation, of which, while he professes and quotes it, his whole life unconsciously shows his disbelief. His declaration concerning the scorching of the wicked is only equaled by the grim humor with which he shows in his generous soul he thinks there is some chance for sinners after all.

The Visiting Librarians nave Good "Words for Sacramentaiis. "When the visiting librarians from the East were here the other day they wore profuse in their assurances of a high ap preciation oi" what our citizens did for their entertainment. That these assur ances were sincere, and that Sacramento and her people were not forgotten the moment their whilom guests were out of" Bight, is shown by the following letter received last evening by Secretary Wallis: .San Pkanciecj, October 11, 1891. Tnlhot H. Wattis, Secretary Sacramento Re ception Cbmmittee i>K.vu Siu: In behalf of toe librarians of California permit me toex pr sa i Mayor Comstock and the Sacramento committie our sineiTe ami hearty tliunks for the exceedingly cordial and hospitable- recep tion tendered the visiting librarians yesterday in the Capital City. If you could have beard i lie expressions or their thorough appreciation of your k;i;ct:an, and see the hundreds of miles of country which can contribute nothing to the support of a railroad, and the wonder v.r> experiences is that we have a railroad at all. California is more isolated from the rest of the United States than though there were a "body of water a thousand cnileswide between. In fact we are looking to the opening of the Nicaragua Canal as a means connecting as more closely to the Eastern States. More road:; come into Oregon and Wash ington because there is not so long a trip of desert, and more come in on the south because the .Santa Fe line is shorter across the desert; but the desert there is too wide. If all the available water can be put on,the desert it would not require the mighty power of a resolution of a con vention, which, if not tinged with dema gogry, felt highly flattered when the papers patted it on the back and said good boys, to build a railroad, for then it would be buakteat. The mighty brain that pondered on that resolution and brought it forth with the satisfaction of little Jack j itorner as he pulled the historic plum from the pie, might rest. Now, you who are interested in immi gration, stick a pin just here and take time to read an article reproduced to-day from the Sacramento Rkoobd-Uniow on the progress of large land holdings in Tehama County. When you have read it and remember that it is just the same all over the great valleys of the Sacramento and San Joa i (jiiin. except a few spots where irriga tion is practiced, put on your thinking cap ana tell us what inducement we, in this section, can offer to the ordinary Immigrant, even after the railroad follows the resolution? Suppose we had the road that would bring Immigrants over tho dreary wastes at their own terms, what inducement can the people of this part of the Stale offer them? If there is a small of land for sale the greater rancher ;,ing it can afford to pay more for it tii :n any immigrant can! Ihe figures pro duced show that the small fanners we have are fast disappearing. If we can't keep those we have how can we invite more? The railroads we have succeed in taking >111 the small farmers; if we had others would they not be employed in the I same way.' It strikes us that we must strive to cover the space between here j and the Unite.) States, and we must turn I our "ranch*-" into (arms. If the '"ranch" is a good tiling; if it is right for great bodies of land to stand in the way, not 1 only by being ranches, but by interpos ing obstacles to the development of other Lands, then we don't want to humbug ourselves with immigration conventions and railroad building by resolution. There is nothing in it. We tell our read ers that something radical has got to be done r else we will have all the lands in the hands of non-residents; in other words, a landed aristocracy. The titttn has discussed several remedies, among them Irrigation, and it will join j heartily any practical move in the diree tion of having the fanner take the place j of the rancher, of having the land tilled by resident farmers owning their homes, instead of by hived help with a Chinese cook houso.

There never was a season which has brought out so much novelty in the styles and such perfect beauty in the articles. It is scarcely necessary to place our ELEGANT CLOAKS In nomination, because they are already running like wild fire. They are so popular that their nomination is equivalent to an election.
