VOLUME LXXXII.--NO. G7. MADE OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH. The Assertions That the Baltimore Acted as a Spy Refuted NOT AT QUINTERO AT THE TIME MENTIONED. One Man Blown to Atoms and Several Others Seriously Injured toy a Ter rific Explosion of Giant Powder Near Leadvillo, Col.—Senator llls coek Denies Tliat Ho Has Been Tendered a Portfolio in the Cab inet. Hpocial to the Record-Union. Chicago, Nov. G.—A private letter re ceived to-day from Benjamin W. Wells, ono of the United States steamship Balti more's officers, by his father in this city, explodes the assertions of the British naval officers that the Baltimore acted as a spy on Chilean insurgents when the latter landed at Quintero, The beginning of the letter was dated August 2.\id, and reads as follows: "My last letter to you was from Coqaimbo. The day it was mailed we received word that the insur gents had lauded near Valparaiso." Extracts show conclusively that the Baltimore-, instead of being alongside ot the British ship Champion on the day of the (.Juintero landing, as the officers of that ship asserted —according to a dis patch from Victoria, B. C, printed this morning—was at Coquimbo, and not near Qaintero. Mr. Wells says the news of the lan ling reached him at breakfast, and the Baltimore did not leave Coquimbo until midnight. The first thing that at tracted attention on reaching Valparaiso harbor at sunset the following evening was the insurgent warships Abtao and MagaUenes, with Hags Hying at all masts in celebration of the insurgent success in the first day s fight. The letter then describes the scenes at tending the fall of Valparaiso, including the taking of the wounded officers, women and children aboard the Balti more, and practically the accession of the Junta to power. Then he adds prophet ically: "We will not bo in good favor here—that may be taken for granted. Af ter capturing me Itata and cutting the ca ble at hjuiquc, the chances for bare po liteness are slim." The letter concludes as follows: "I beard the Minister of War say last night that as the battle was turning against him he turned to the commander of one Of the battalions and said to him: 'Major, where are your men? Post them in such and such a place.' The officer replied: 'Sir, to mo a battalion no longer exists.' lost think ofit—the entire battalion com pletely wiped out, and this was only one of many. There is no doubt about it, tho Sover'nment was frightfully beaten. All the doctors we can spare are ashore working in the hospitals. >no sent ashore yesterday went up to the battle field and worked over the wounded there. Fifteen hundred were brought in last night." h was after this letter, telling of the Baltimore's surgeons' work of humanity the wounded children had mailed, that portion of the Baltimore's crew were frightfully maltreated in the Btreets of Valparaiso. Mr. Wells was the officer in charge of the boats that landed the detachment of American bluejackets and marines during the disorder follow ing the insurgent victory. HAWAIIAN'S DISCOURAGED. The Only Hope of Prosperity is in Annexation. Chicago, Nov. 6.—A. B. Spreckels, en route to New York to meet his father, Clans Spreckels, Who is to arrive from JKurope, is in tho city. "The Hawaiians are a discouraged lot," said Mr. Spreck els, "and they cannot see their way clear to prosperity in any other way than by annexation. With the removal of the on sugar and the offering of two cents per pound on all sugar produced in the United States, jthe islands have lost the advantage they had over the produc is here, in Cuba and in the Philippine Islands. The trouble is that labor is dear in the islands. The natives are dying out* and the islands have to depend on Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and labor ers from other countries. While the peo ple reeard this Government as one most friendly to them, they think faith was broken with them in taking away this advantage, and the object of King Kala kaua's visit to this country was to inter cede in behalf of the sugar interests, when death overtook him in San Fran- Spreckels also said the house of Sprock els would never be coaxed into the sugar trust.

BiiiMixuiiAM (Ala.), Nov. 6.—A Pull xnan car porter named Wallace quarreled With Agent Gilmore at Lake Mississippi a lew days ago and struck him on the head,and boarded a train jnst as it pulied out. Last night as the train stopped a land of armed white men boarded the train, broke into the car in which Wal lace had locked himself and marched out Into the woods with him, telling the con ductor that they would bring him back in an hoar, but would not guarantee that be would be alive. The train did not wait. A telegram from Meridan to-day denies that Wallace was lynched, but she was beaten nearly to death. The tlators are supposed to be (Jilmore's lnends. THE LATE MINISTER CARTER. JFuneral Services Over the Remains Held at Now York. Nkw York, Nov. G.—Funeral services over the remains of Henry A.Carter, Minister from the Sandwich Islands to the United States, were held here to-day at the Madison-square Presbyterian CbJQrch. Hi* s»-n.

Dr. Bartlett of ashington officiated. The remains will be shipped to San Francisco and then conveyed to the steamship Australia, which will sail for Honolulu on the 22d inst. FANNIE CARTWRIGHT'S DEATH. The Police Not Satisfied That It Was Accidental. Chicago, Nov. 6.—The post-mortem examination on the body of Fannie Cart wright, the actress who met a mysterious death in the railroad yard in this city, to day utterly failed to show any wounds except tho.se inflicted by tho train. De velopment in tho case to-night make it more complicated. The police apparently have not abandoned the murder theory, and to-night placed under arrest a young man named John Beatty. His name was furnished the police by the dead woman's sister-in-law, who asserted that Fannie spent Tuesday night with her, and other triends dropped in. After drinking beer together until mid night, Fanny left, and Beatty accom panied her. The two were considerably under the influence of liquor when they left the house, and whether they wan dered down into the railway yards, where she was run over accidentally, and Beatty conceived the foolish notion of denying knowledge of it, or whether there can be possibly a dark crime beneath the whole affair, remains for tho oilicers to show. The general appearance of the case makes the first proposition more reasonable. MEXICAN ORES. Case Involving tho silver-Lead Export ing: Industry. New Orleans, Nov.6.—A Picayvau?* San Antonio special says: A case involv ing the entire silver-lead exporting in dustry of Mexico into the United States was heard on appeal by Judge Pardee of the 0 nited States Circuit Court to-day, and taken under advisement. About a year ago two carloads of ore were shipped by J. F. Matthews of Monterey, Mexico, to E. 11. Chiehester, through the port of Eagle Pass, where the Collector of Customs held it for the non-payment of s3o per ton duty on all ores classified as .silver-lead. The consignee held that the ore should be classiiied as silver and admitted duty free. He appealed from the decision of the Hector to the United States Board of Appraisers in Mew York as to the rate, classification and assessment of duty. The board decided in favor of (Winchester. The Secretary of the Treasury appealed from the decision of the appraisers to the Circuit Court and Judge Pardee to-day reviewed the case. He will render a de* ci>ion to-morrow. BURNED TO DEATII. Result of Two Women Imbibing Too Much Liquor. New Yokk, Nov. 6.—Last night Mrs. Patrick BfcGuire and another woman named Gaffney were drunk. Their noise disturbed the former's husband, who asked them to be quiet. They kicked in his door and jeered at him. He became enraged and called the Gaffney woman a vile name. She seized a lighted lamp and struck him with it so hard a brow that the lamp broko and the oil, which caught hre, saturated his bed, enveloping him in a mass of flames. The sight sobered the women, who attempted to put the lire out. but did not succeed until he was latally burned. Mrs. Gaffney was arrested. John L. Was Sober. Chicago, Nov. o.—Parson Davies, who has just returned from a flying trip to San Francisco, said he saw Sullivan in that city wearing side whiskers and look ing fat and hearty, not having "indulged" tor tiie past three months.

Terrible Powder Explosion. Leadville (Col.), Nov. 6.—A terrific explosion occurred at the heading to the Rusk-Ivanhoe tunnel last night, where nine men were at work. Bob Wilkinson was torn into atoms. Gus Johnson died in an hour, and Jack Acott had both eyes torn out.

The explosion was caused by one of the men striking giant powder in one of the shots with a drill. Dcmpsey and Ryan. Chicago, Nov. 6.— Tom Ryan, the welter-weight champion, has answered Jack Dempsey's defy. Ryan's backers stand ready to match him against Demp sey at 140 pounds for any sum. Ryan's fight with llowson, the Englishman, who I defeated Dick Burge, takes place on De cember 12th, and if By an wins a Ryan- Dempsey mutch will probably follow. False Rumors. Nkw Yokk, Nov. G.—Tho rumor sent out Thursday from a Wall street news agency to the effect that Jay Gould had Buffered a relapse and was in a a serious condition, followed by a report to-day that Gould was dead, was undoubtedly started for the purpose of bearing stocks, as there seems to be nothing on which to base it. Secretary Noble Sued. Washington, Nov. 6.—Major Rans dell, Marshal of the District of Columbia, this morning served a legal process on Secretary Noble to appear at oourtand answer to a suit brought against him as Secretary of the interior by tho Union River Logging Company.

CIIINESE DXPORXAXEON. A Detroit Judge's Ruling on the Vex atious Question. Detroit (Mich.), Nov. s.—Judge Swan to-day delivered an opinion on the sub ject of Chinese deportation, which is per haps the first complete ruling on the vexed question. The case was that of 'hong Sam, whose arrest was effected at Port Huron on July 9th, for being un lawfully in this country. The Chinaman was examined by a Commissioner and found in possession of a certilicatc issued by the customs officer of Vancouver, B. C, dated May 21, 1891, permitting him to return to Canada. It was shown also that lie had been arrested at Detroit, June 23d, and returned to Canada by order of Com missioner Graves. Upon his second ap pearanoe the Chinaman was ordered sent back to China, under the ruling of one of the State departments, to which was re j ferred the construction of the law. A brief resume of this decision is to the ef fect that the order of the Commissioner directing the deportation of Chong Sam to China is reversed, and the United States Marshal is directed to cause him to be returned to Canada. TARIFF ACT CHANGES. Modification of the Oath in Regard to the Entry of Personal Eflects. Washington. Nov. s.—ln view of the fact that the present Tariff Act changes in some respects the conditions under which j free entry can be made of wearing ap parel, personal effects, books and house hold effects, the Treasury Department has modified the form of oath or declaration heretofore employed so it shall conform to the present law.

New York, Nov. 6.—The jury to-day awarded Thomas Fortune (colored), edi tor of the New York A me of the lost business," for the enterprise is a great one, and there is every indication of its doing good work for a large section of country.

London, Nov. &—Advices received by the Times to-day from Rio (irande do Sul declare the army and navy compelled President Da Fonseca to assume the Dic tatorship, and then: is considerable agita tion in the Province of Rio Grande do Sul, where tho late events of Rio de Janeiro are considered to be but a prelude to the restoration of the empire. Tho Times' dispatch continues: Northern Brazil is decidedly in favor of an empire, and only in Central Brazil is the republic popular. This may lend to Dom Pedro's grandson becoming Chief of State, under the re gency of three prominent citizens. TROOPS I'AITIIFUL TO FONESCA. Paris, Nov. 6.—The Brazilian Minister here to-day said: "The Brazilians will never accept a Dictatorship, and Presi dent da Foneeca will not dream of it. Martial law has been proclaimed only in Rio de Janeiro as a protection against the monarchists' attempt at the restoration of the empire. From tho experience ob tained when Dom Podro was dethroned, Congress is aware that it cannot depend upon the support of either tho army or navy. If it could it might imitate Chile and seek to fight Fonesca. "The troops remain faithful, because they fear the monarchical menace behind the eventful success of Congress. Fon seca is ill, and has neither the will nor power to menace the existence of the Re public. Brazilian finances are in good order. There is enough money deposited in London to meet all expenses abroad for the next nine months." The Minister roplied that ho had no fear but the elec tion would turn in favor of the Govern ment. CORK ELECTION. Tho McCarthyite Candidate Believed to Havo Been Successful. Cokk, Nov. 6.-An election was held to-day for a successor in Parliament to the late Charles Stewart Parnell, who represented Cork City in the Commons. The Parnellite candidate is John B. Red mond, and Martin Flavin, a butter mer chant of this city, is the McCarthyite can didate. Tho influence of tho priests is with tho McCarthyites. They have made a house-to-house canvass of voters, fol lowing immediately after the Parnellite canvassers, and threatening the electors with all sorts of horrible things if they vote for Redmond or failed to vote for Flavin. In order to avoid possible dis order the polls this morning were strong ly guarded by the police. Many priests were stationed about the booths mingling with the voters and giving them linal in structions and admonitions, or making final appeals before they entered the poll ing booths. In addition to the precautions taken by the police authorities, the whole garrison of Cork and of the adjacent fortifications were confined to their barracks and there held under arms. Tho troops will re main until all possibility of serious riot ing has vanished. At the dose of the polling Mr. Flavin was credited -with a victory. The count ing of ballots commences in the morn ing. The polling was heavy. There were many altercations between priests and Parnellites. The women in most oases sided with the priests. William O'Brien received an ovation from the Women, who presented him with flowers and even divested themselves of their shawls lor him to walk upon. The, supporters of Flavin claim a ma jority of J,200 for him, while the Parnell ites believe they have carried the election by 100 majority. CHILE OUTRAGE. Troops Have to be Called Out to Pro tect the American Jxjjjatlou. Santiago, Nov. 6.—Newspapers here for several days have been publishing wild stories about a conspiracy among the refugees at the American Legation to kill General Canto.

I^ator in the day several thousand men assembled on the Plaza and applauded several incendiary speeches, in which the supposed conspiracy and the United States Legation were denounced. The Junta, upon receiving Egan's letter, sent a troop of cavalry to guard the United States Legation, and, as the meeting in the Plaza bad closed, the Truendente pub lished a notice saying that the stories of a couspiraey were devoid of foundation.

The long warning given exporters will result in an active trade in the meantime. Yishnegeradsky is seeking to redeem a quarter oi tho Russian loan in Paris, so as to save it from complete failure. This iait explains the recent drop in Russian .securities in Paris.

Some individuals who assume to be facetious have attempted to attach a nick name to the reform ballot law, and possi bly* aro actuated by the hope that ridicule will tend to make the law unpopular. In this they will utterly fail. Calling the will of the people as expressed through legislation "kangaroo law," will effect nothing. The law is not more Austraiian.than American—nor so much. Before Austialia was fairly known to civilization, a similar law prevailed in the American colonies. The voter went to the "town house" in New England, procured a slip on which were the names of all candidates, took it home with him and marked the names of those he de sired to vote for, and returning cast his ballot by depositing with the chosen offi cials, who at the close of tho voting period announced the result. The reform ballot law in its best form in America is a great improvement upon the Australian, and radically different from it. It is so dissimilar, notably in the handling and non-identification of ballots, as to deserve to be called as it is, the American reform ballot law. Ridicule is a keen weapon, but it is more dangerous often to the wielders than to those against whom it is turned. Such was the case in the East on Tues day. In New York, where the ballot law is badly handicapped by a pastor system, and the use of distinct ballots for ut forth to overload and obstruct the law. To a considerable extent these efforts were successful. Nevertheless it is confessed that the new law shut off the frauds practiced under the old system. In all the other States where the re form ballot law prevails it has proved to be all that is claimed for it—that it secures absolute secrecy of the ballot and is a wet blanket upon voto buying. Unscrupu lous voters may stiil bargain to sell their votes, but they cannot adduce proof that they deliver the goods, and this makes the risk of the vote-buyer too great. All that can be done by the vicious is to hire voters to remain away from the polls. This the law cannot prevent. But as the poll lists show who voted and the registry lists the names of those enti tled to vote, publicity of the absence of a voter tends to cast suspicion upon him, Stem it is announced that "buying silence" is the new scheme of the bosses. The effect will be, therefore, to. bring all honest and self-respecting men to the polls to vote, for none will wish to rest under the shadow of suspicion. So that the new scheme of the bosses will not be likely to prove profitable or long-lived. LAND lIOLDINGS IN NAPA. Referring to the Record-Union's sta- j tistical exhibit demonstrating that in the several counties of California thus far examined large land holding has not j only not decreased, but has augmented, the Napa Daily Hegister states that it ex- j perimented in the same direction, with Xapa County as a basis of inquiry. It says: W« took for a test the nineteen largest land holders in 1860, the acreage assessed to each and the valuation placed oppo&ite. In th«ag grvsate we found charged against these nine teen 7 0,743 acre90. There seems to be a cheer ful willin^ne-ison thepartof ourh-avy owners to carve up their large estates, and conditions generally are as favorable to small as to large investors. It will be observed that while the Regis ter finds comfort in the explanation of the increase of large land-holdings, the fact remains that taking nineteen men as owning in 1880 70,743 acres, ten years later the holdings of nineteen largest owners had augmented by 7,603 acres, while the assessed valuation of these holdings declined §105,765. Is it sufficient explanation to say that the aggregated holdings of each of these nineteen land monopolists is of poorer lands? We trust that this is so, and that the idea of the Register is borne out by facts, that the larger holdings of better lands in 18a0 have now been subdivided, and are gen erally t occupied by a prosperous and larger rural population. In one case of twenty-six families the Register gives it of its own knowledge that it is true. But the testimony of our contemporary is that the spirit of monopolization of the soil continues, and that this congestion of land in single hands really increased by more than 10 per cent, in the decade be tween JSSO and 1890. So long as the laud monopolizing spirit manifests vigor in a county, the community is not up to the level of true prosperity. However, we are not disposed to bo captious, and rejoice therefore that Xapa has gained over 3,000 in population, and that it is largely of the rural class, whilo land monopolization has been pushed back into less desirable sections. In Yolo, Colusa and Tehama, it will be re membered from our statistical exhibits, there has been a deplorable decline in tho rural population, along with the statis tical increase of the number and acreage of large land-holdings. We are disposed, therefore, to accept the theory of the Register that Napa is to be congratulated because of her increase of rural population, and the retiracy of the land monopolists to tracts leas desir able, and which are used mainly for the lesser purposes of agriculture. But we should be more pleased with Napa's ex hibit did it show that with the increase of rural population, there had been decrease in the number and acreage of large land holdings. The accounts of the difficulty in Brazil are not sufficiently clear to enable a pos itive judgment to be formed regarding the equities of the case. President Fon seca appears to have dissolved Congress because it refused to pass financial meas ures of his proposing and passed others over his veto. This was, of course, dicta torial, and the proclamation of martial law that followed was in line with the initial proceeding. The army and the navy appear to have sided with the Pres ident, and there has been some rioting and some bloodshed, but no such upris ing and conflict as would amount to a revolution. It is not probable that Fon i seca is seeking to overthrow the Consti tution; indeed, he announces his deter mination to make it respected. One ac count fastens the responsibility for the disturbed condition of the country upon English agents, who are bitterly opposed to Fonseca for concluding the treaty of reciprocity with the United States. These agents have, it is charged, been diligent in stirring Congress up to antagonism to the President. Until further details are at hand it would be well to reserve judgment concerning all these matters. Our hope should be that the new repub lic may withstand this first shock, and that the Brazilians may prove capable of self-government.

A St. Louis physician has just dis covered that cigarettes are the nesting places for a coleopterous insect, which is an enemy to the health of the bronchial machinery. We are glad to learn at last just what it is; we knew that something especially unpronounceable and nasty was the matter with the cigarette. Now that the mystery is cleared up, cigarette users can go on and poison themselves as rapidly as possible. The coleopteri will do for them. NOTE AND COMMENT. How interest in great public questions overshadows all minor troubles. The two Woodland papers have long been at war, but it looks as if the hatchet had been bur ied at last. The Mail of yesterday says: "We join with our evening contemporary in urging the removal of the unsightly pile of rubbish in iront of the M. E. Church South." W. A. Selkirk has assumed the edito rial control and management of the Peta luTna Courier, D. W. Ravenscroft retir ing. Of course the Courier will hereafter be vigorously Democratic. The Work Appreciated. [Colusa Sun, November 6th.] The Sacramento Record-Union ot yes terday devoted lour columns to the land monopolizers of Colusa County. We will re-publish the editorial soon, and we ask. that every reader of the Sun take time and carefully peruse the article. It shows who are keeping Colusa County.from having a population twenty times as much as she has. Thomas Walker of National City, Cai., exhibited ten big onions, the product of his farm, in the San Diego Chamber of Commerce a short time ago. The largest onion weighed five pounds, and the aggregate weight was twenty-four pounds. REITZ AND HOFFMAN.

Cahill Appeals From the Judg ment ot tho Sacramento Court. Assistant Attorney-General Layson, on behalf of State Controller Colgan, yester day filed the papers on appeal in the case of P. H. Cahill vs. the Controller, to re cover the amount due him ($550) for serv ices rendered the American Sugar Re finery when it was in the hands of the State's receiver, Patrick Roddy. The case was decided in favor of Cahill by Judge Van Fleet on the sth day of last June. The Attorney-General holds that when the decision was rendered an appeal in the original suit was being taken, which suspended the judgment of the lower court in this case. Sport at tfte Rink.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT. How Taxes Can be Reduced and Revenue Increased, A Proposition Which. Should be Care fully Considered at Once. Judge H. O. Beatty, the President of the Funded Debt Commission, has un doubtedly given tho question of the city's finances more thought .and consideration than any other man in the community. The Record-Union has not agreed with him in some of the propositions he has I advanced, but has always given him j credit for sincerity and honesty of pur- pose. A short time ago we called upon the Judge to give us his idea of how money ()!i,000, audit has dwindled down to J2,900,000. It could justly be raised so as to bring the roll up to $18,000,000 without raising the assess ment on real estate at all, and still it "Would not be assessed too high. Judge Beatty furnishes the following figures showing the income of the city under his proposed plan, and what can bo done with it: Income of Interest and Sinking Fund for u« xi time years and two months 910,000 Three annual receipts of the 55 per cent $279,000 Three annual receipts from water rates 150 000 Three annual receipts from liquor Licenses 00,000 Three annual receipts from fine?, barbor dues and miscellaneous 36,000 543,000 S^tal income of Interest and Sink ing Fund up to Dec. ;Sl, ls to be applied to the purchase of bonds. The resources of the commission could then be stated in this I form: From income, as above $323,000 Income of Fund Commis sion lor three years and two months (105 per tout, on $15,000,000>... $189,000 Cash on bund L.189 Street bonds redeemed 10,000 Interest on street bonds.- ii,500 Improvement bonds re deemed 16,000 Interest oa bonds 22,500 240,189 Total $503J-!» With this 1563,189 the commission could buy $300,000 of improvement bonds and have left $269,189 to invest in old funded debt bonds, which would purchase about $360,000 worth of the old Uonds, lea vine only $445,000 outstanding. of this $445,000 ,ooo non-interest bearing bonds. The real city debt would be only about f.«JO,000 5 per cent, bonds. The City Treasury, after 1>!»4, would never be called on to contribute one dollar to the old debt. The oo per cent, tax would never again have to be levied, neither •would there be any call on the Water "Works to help pay the old debt. These facts and figures are w-orthy of the prompt and careful study of the peo ple of this city. The tax rate is too high, and at the rate the deficiency is being riled up each year it will be higher un -38 something is done to prevent it. Tho plan presented by Judge Beatty seems to be an excellent one and ought to be adopted unless some serious objections can be pointed out which do not suggest themselves at lirst glance. THE FUNERAL The Remains of Herbert Otis Tozcr Interred. The RbooßD-Uotob week recorded the fact of the untimely death at Exeter, 1 1 ass., of one of Sacramento's best known and in oft esteemed young men, Herbert Otis Tozer. At the time of the young man's death his mother was with him. The next day ahe started with the remains of her mm for Sacramento. General Toaer met her across the iSierras and the stricken pu ents reached here on Thursday. The funeral of the young man took place yes terday afternoon from the residence of his parents. It was very largely attended, for the young man, cut off in the very bloom of life, had a host of friends in the home of his nativity: his virtues, his in tellectual worth and his manly,and affec tionate traits had endeared him to those ■who knew him. The sympathy of the people for the be reaved parents was manifested in many •ways, and at the funeral took form not only in the large attendance and the sin cerity of manifest grief, but in a wealth of floral offerings. These tributes were exceedingly rich and many of them i touching in the signiiioance of their ex pression. One especially noticeable de eign was that of "Gates Ajar," offered by the employes of the lather of the young man. Among the friends from abroad were ?>li-tain, and prizes that will bo worth competing for are to be given. The management thinks that it will be able to give nve prizes, the aggregate amounting to at least tftiOO, and probably more. The winning team is to receive $1200 and the other prizes will be graded proportionately. A temporary platform or floor, with cleats and all the necessary appliances, will be built immediately, so that the va rious teams may have an opportunity to practice. The exhibition will last three nights, and a largo number of additional Beats will be erected in order to accom modate the throng of people that is ex pected to attend. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

A terrible explosion occurred at the works of the Judson Powder Company, near Clipper Gap, seven miles north of Auburn, yesterday forenoon. Two white men and one Chinaman were killed, and a boy about 16 years of age was seriously, perhaps fatally, injured. The cause of the explosion is unknown, as neither of the men who wore at work jvhere it oc curred live to toll the tale. The works of the company are located about a mile from Clipper Gap, at tho mouth of a canyon, and consist of a number of small buildings of corrugated iron, each separate and distinct from the other, connected only by wire cables by which power is transmitted. Tho buildings extend op the canyon for a quarter of a mile or more. The last four of these are in the order named: The corning mill, where the powder which has been compressed into cakes is ground up into grains again; next came tho glaze mill, where oy a certain process ;i gloss is put upon the powder; above this is the keg factory, and last of all the magazine, where the finished product is stored. The explosion took place in tho glazo mill, of which not a vestige remains to show that a building had ever existed, save a few broken and blackened tim bers and a deep hole iv the ground. Two men were at work in this building, James Hamilton and a Chinaman. Of these two nothing remains but a few pieces of blackened and torn flesh and the Chinaman's queue, which were picked up on the hillsides surrounding the mill. A building a hundred feet distant down the canyon also contained a large amount of powder, which exploded a fraction of a second later. There was no one at work in this building, although several men are generally employed there. The other casualty occurred in the keg factory, about a hundred and fifty feet on the other side of the glaze mill and up the canyon. The terrific force of the ex plosion crushed ihis building down like an egg shell, and Joseph Pippin and young Bertio Hicks were imprisoned un der the tailing mass of timbers and empty powder kegs. As soon as possible these two were ex trieacted from the ruins,when it was found that Pippin had been crushed to death under Ins machinery. Young Hicks was insensible and Buffering from a tractun d skull. A doctor was hastily summoned from Auburn, who pronounced his in juries very serious. A son of Pippin's also worked with hU father, but had just stepped out doors when the explosion occurred, and al though fragments of the ruined building rained around him, and lie was thrown violently to the ground, he was unhurt. After Pippin and Hicks had been re moved a search for some remains of the unfortunate Hamilton and the Chinaman began, and although the hills, which closely shut in on the ruined buildings, were scoured over and over again within a radius of several hundred yards, noth ing was found but a few pieces of battered and burned flesh and tho Chinaman's queue, which was found some three hun dred feet from tho ruins. Of the killed, Joseph Pippin's case is especially sad, as he was to have gone to night to bring his wife and family who are in Santa Cruz up to Clipper (Jap to settle. James Hamilton was a single man, al most the sole support of his mother, a widow, who resides at Clipper lap. Bertie Hicks, who is badly injured, is between 14 and 15 years of age. and lives with his parents at Clipper Gap. W. 11. Gaffett, the foreman of the works, was seen, and stated that there was some 250 kegs of powder in the glaze mill, and that he had no idea how the ex plosion occurred, as there was no one left to tell the tale, and everything was run ning smoothly, as usual. Mr. Gaffett is a careful and conscien tious manager, and has the reputation of leaving nothing undone to insure the safety of the lives and property under his management, and feels greatly grieved over the occurrence. He could give no accurate statement of the loss to the com pany, but roughly estimated it to be be tween gf>,ooo and $8,000. The force of the explosion can hardly be imagined by one unacquainted with, the terrible power of the confined powder. The ruined buildings stood in the bottom of the little canyon, while the hills rise quite steep on either side. It was on the hillsides that tho terrible force was most clearly shown, for they look as if a vio lent battle had taken place there, tho brush being literally blown out by the roots, and tough i>ine trues eight inches in thickness snapped off like straws. One oak tree a foot in diameter was pulled out by the roots and carried bod ily over fifteen feet from where it stood, while the whole hillsides are blackened as If by a forest fire and strewn with pieces of timber and scraps of torn and twisted sheet iron of which the buildings were constructed. Among the underbrush were found several dead and wounded birds striekeu by the awful blast. Several of the employes who w,ere near at the time stated that the earth shook and trembled, horses and men were thrown to the ground and a cloud of white smoke rose up like a great balloon, while for a mile around broken iron castings, timbers, sticks, stones and dirt fell like hail. One man a half a mile away had a narrow escape from a piece of a pully-wheel weighing over twenty pounds, which fell within two feet of him. In Clipper Gap the shock was very severe, many windows being broken, goods thrown down from the shelving in the stores, andotiier minor damage done. At Auburn, six miles distant, the fchock was like an earthquake, and many thought it to be one till the great cloud of smoke was seen, and a telegram was re ceived telling- of the disaster. All towns down the line felt the shock even as far as Sacramento. The Kkcokd-Unhi.n re porter, who was taking notes at the train-wreckers' examination at Auburn, says that the Courthouse rocked violently and caused a stampede of those in>i»le. Two painters were at work on the Superintendent's house, which is some distance from the glaze-house. The force of the explosion blew them otf the build ing as though they were straws, 'ihey were badly shaken up by the fall, but fortunately were not seriously hurt. FROM SEATTLE TO SACRAMENTO. "Went Up in a Pullman and Came Back on a Brakebeara, The south-bound Oregon express train pulled into the depot the other night, says the Marysville Appeal, and as there seemed to be very little indication of any passengers presenting themselves for re freshments at the depot saloon, Chub (asey, who was in charge of the cocktail dispensary, went out on the graveled walk and gazed toward the passenger depot. He walked quite close to one of the coaches and standing for a moment, all being quirt, save for the thud of the engine some distance toward Fourth street, was quite surprised to hear a choked voice from beneath. He stooped down ar"' gazed upon a figure clad i ti very neat attire, but stained brown from the dust which it had gathered. A second giance showed an intelligent looking face, covered by quite a thickness of soot and and sand. "Pretty rough berth you have there," remarked the hero of many an encounter upon the diamond. "Y-ye-yes." the brakebeam tourist, who was evidently quite choked up with dust, managed to articulate. "Where are you bound for?" queried the inquisitive Casey. "isa—Sacra—mento,*' replied the man. who expectorated and relieved himself of the impediment to his speech. "What town is this?" "This is Marysville," said Mr. Casey. "(Treat guns, but I thought we passed Marysville over an hour ago," and there was a despondency in his tone. "1 don't know whether I will be able to hold on any longer or not." "Better stop over here—good town to work for hold-outs' and 'booze,' said the jocular wielder of tho willow. "No, I want to cot back to Sacramento and when I get there I'll stay. Six months ago I went to Seattle, traveling in a Pullman sleeper, and this is the way I am coming back. No place up there for me." Just then the conductor shouted: "A boooord!" The bell clanged and the cars moved. "What's your business?" a^ked the local magnate. •'Baseball umpire," and the train moved out as Manager Casey meditated and sympathetically said: "Poor fellow." It was too late, however, for him to extend tho courtesies of good fellowship. BRUTAL ROBBERY. A Citizen Knocked Down and Ilobbed on a Principal Street. Dr. L. A. McLean, a well-known vet erinary surgeon, was last night, at half-past 11 o'clock, coming south along Fourteenth street, near 11, on his way home from attendance in a professional capacity. As he turned the corner into H street two men sprang upon him from the concealment of a fence and felled him to the ground by a blow over the eye and •-hen beat him about the head. He was reduced to insensibility. On recovering himself sometime later, he found that his pockets had been rifled, his loss amounting to 89 in coin. Dr. McLean was so badly hurt that he could only with great difficulty drag him self to the door of T. M. Lindley'a resi dence and arouse the inmates. Mr. Lindley had him at once brought into the house and caved for, s physician in the meantime being summoned. He found that McLean had received a bad wound over the eye and several wounds about the head, the blows having been delivered evidently with a heavy blunt instrument, such as the butt of a pistol or possibly a bar of iron, or even by brass knuckles. Dr. McLean could give no sufficient description of his assailants, and the brutal cutthroats will be very dilficult to overhaul in consequence. The extent of ihe injuries the wounded man has re ceived cannot be known until reaction sets in, but it is not believed that his wounds are dangerous, though they may determine into very serious injuries. Tailors* Ball. The first annual ball of the Sacramento Tailors' Union, No. 107, was given at Turner Hall last evening, and the large uumber of people that attended undoubt edly convinced the Tnion that they can give as successful a dance as any organiz ation. An orchestra discoursed excellent dance music during the evening and a pleasant timo was enjoyed by all who at tended. The committees having charge of the affair-were as follows: Reception —Messrs. M. Hook, A. Lave, C Freder icks, Reedy and E. Hirnmcl. Floor Director C. H. Lutterkort. Floor Mana gers—Messrs. J. D. (Shoemaker, J. K. Wcok, J. L. Campbell and John Zittin ger. New Pastor "Welcomed.

After the speeches an elegant lunch was served by the ladies of the church. Bismarck In Limbo. A character known about town as "Bis marck" was arrested last evening by Special Officer Eldred for impersonating an olnccr. "Bismarck" mado a tour of the lower L-stroet beat and represented to a number of tho women that he was an oiKeer and proposed to arrest them.

A retail grocer was bemoan ing his failure to get along prosperously in business, and seemed to think it was not his fault. The gentleman to whom he was talking was an ex-grocer .who: had retired with a snug fortune made out of the business. The ex grocer, in order to illustrate one of the reasons why a bet ter trade was lacking, called for a bottle of Dr. Price's Flavoring Extract of Vanilla. "I do not keep it." said the grocer, "but I have an extract just as good which I can sell at a less price." Here was a convincing proof that there were very good reasons why trade was poor. The ex-gro cer says, "I was successful because I kept the best and finest goods and sold them at a fair profit. Poor goods, no matter at what price sold, will help to make your trade dwindle. The acquisition or loss of trade goes on silently and steadily in proportion as the grocer sells goods that please those who patronize him. I always sold Dr. Price's Flavoring Extracts, as my customers did not want cheapness at the ex pense of quality."

4 BROAD PHILANTHROPY. C P. Huntington's Gift to the People of Westchester. Dedication of a Beautiful and Costly Library Building, Wlileh Ho Pre sents to the Youns People—Free to All Classes—A Notable Event In Old ■\Yostchester. Westchester is a town in Westchester County, State of New York. It is one of the very old towns of the Empire State. About two and a half miles from the town C. P. Huntington owns a beautiful place known as "The Homestead." Some time ago he conceived the idea of giving to the town near by a handsome library and reading-room building, that such an in stitution might exercise a beneficent in fluence upon young men especially, and remove the excuse of those who have no homo and no proper place in which to spend their evenings. He wisely concluded that the safest of companions are good books; they never desert; they are so diverse that one can be had, even in most modest libraries, to suit any reasonable mood or respond to any special and worthy longing; to solace and to comfort; to lire and stir with noble to compose tho mind to peace —indeed, resolves; to instruct and enlarge one's knowledge; to respond to special inquiry, good books are never-failing sources ol' comfort and of instruction. Thus thinking, he resolved to cary out his idea, and therefore erected a beauti- i l'ul, spacious library building and stored it well With shelves rich with tho record of thought and genius, and on tho 17th of October ho turned it over to a Board of Trustees for the benefit of all the people, regardless of creed or nationality. The rules require tlio library building to be open every day; noise and loud conversation are forbidden in it; tobacco cannot bo used in the building; no books can be taken away Irom tho rooms, and the privilege of tho building is denied those who misuse books or monopolize particular papers and magazine* in the reading-room. Beside the line store of good books, tho leading papers, reviews and magazines of the day are supplied to the reading-room. No ticket of admis sion is required, and tho beautiful build ing is absolutely free and its privileges are open to rich or poor, old and young, on precisely equal terms. On the evening named the spacious edi lice was filled by hundreds of the grateful and well-pleased people of Westchester to witness tho ceremonies of dedication. They were in keeping with Mr. Hunting ton's tastes—simple* free from parade and effort and consisted simply of Inter change of thought nnd congratulation, in the form of brief addresses. Mr. Huntingdon called the assemblage to order ami Augustus Tabor to toe chair, saying as he did so that he Mas glad to welcome tho people to the build ing, and that their manifest interest ho took to be prophetic of the success hoped for in behalf of the institution. In taking the chair Mr. Tabor made a neat speech, which, with all tho others, is reported in full In tho Westchester Inde 2>endent of October 24th, from which we quote. Jn the course of Lis remarks, referring to the rush and clash of the business ■world and the strife of Governments, and nations, he said: We have no jar of discord here; we have no seliish alms to seek here; we have cmeto meet on the commoj* ground of common hu manity and mutual respect for this gift for a common purpose. Fhe Republic of Letters Is wqrld-wiitf, and the romances of Russia sleep side by side with tin- novels of Walter Scott. The thoughts of the poets of Europe and Kng land sound In per£ d barmouyas they breathe trom the lyre. Ail is peace aad quietness in the world where we would unite to-night. The very room itself is quietness and repi There is do single brick In t bese walls that has a,selfish aim or purpose: each one standing thfr" honestly m Ing to do Its business, to fill its place In upholding the structure. We are Jill Uere, therefore, In a plcusant place, in a pleasant hour for a pleasant purpose, and wo turu with gratitude to this friend who has plven us this opportunity. [Applause.] We turn to him fora further illustration of his -and purposes In regard to this institu tion. Thus called out, Mr. Huutington re sponded in this graceful, direct and heart lul address: Mi/ Frit nil* the Town Wettehetter; I have asked yon to come here" to-night to take part In the opening of this library and read ing-room for public use. I am not accustomed to speaking In public and scarcely know what to say that will be suitable, but I suppose the people of Westchester expect me to say a few WOraS on this occasion. I have often thought, since len me to West chester to spend my summers, that in a town r-- there are so many young people there lid bo some place where they could spend t'leir leisure hours In reading and playing in nocent games, tor I believe that leisure time r reading-rooms, and perhaps by some who have nol even s home of their own. shall therefore direct my re r ;s mainly to the yn. My life, with long and varied oostly be* l i:; I is Crom the knowledge gained by experience that I can speak to the young who have seen but little of tho world and have v long journey before them, with mauy vicis situdes. I hope that the young people of Westches ter who are here to-night will come here as often as they can, and that they will enjoy coming so much that they will bring heir friends with tb I hoi o ami ask that you will all cultivate n spirit of kindliness one for another, each be ing ready at all times to do his or her part, so that tiie greatest amount of good and the least amount of evil may come to those who Spend their leisure hours here. Let each one {ban you earn, and thus always balance in the lank. This will h to your happiness and mac keep you j Irom many temptat: In order to tret the best results from the em- pioyiiKut of our time It is necessary to have v:. w beyond tho getting ov money. "Man cannot live bj ne." j It Is necessary that mental wealth should be I stored up, and the heart trained to kindly iugs and the hand to generous dt eds. A kind vord. a smile, or ii may be v tear of genuine j sympathy is often better than much cold to those who sutler. It Is the doins of these tilings that brings the ti nest happiness to the giver and tends a ray of sunshine over those j ■who are living under the shadows. 1 hope that all who come hero will be care raj of the bo c that they are not t'>r:i or unn _ SACI?A^rE>TTO DATLY KErO"RT>-TT?TTO]Sr, SATTTRBAY, XOVEIUISEK 7, TS9I.—EIGHT PAGES; This linrary and reading-room are for all creeds and all nationalities; share and share alike, l hope and believe that all will give it their encouragement and moral support. I l-ave asked Brother Leoutine of the Pro tectorate, Mr. Cleudenin, KectorofSt. Peters, nud Rev. Mr. McMillan of the same church, Father MoXinna of .St. Raymond's and Mr. Mattlsofthe Presbyterian "Church to >ay a few words, as I am quite sure you will all like to hear them, and to have each bid the little institution God-speed. Mr. Hillhouse then read the rules and regulations of the library and reading and correspondence rooms. Rev. Father McKenna then addressed the assemblage, and, in the course of his remarks, said: This building is intended. If I understand It, as ;i building where honest recreation may be obtained lor those who labor, whether at the t eiieh or at the desk, or whatever their occu pation may be; to assemble here during their leisure hours. A gift of this kind Is a great thing for this community. As Mr. Hontlogton has so well said, it is a grtat privilege, and a great training as well, for the young, it tUcy will only avail themselves of •■I this' library. Even those who have libiaries may not have them large enough- those who have no books may come here and have their wants supplied. And how greatly may those who oome here benetlt their intellect Take our young men would it not a much better thing for them to come in here and take up one of wavorly's novels, or one of the novels by Dickens or Thackery— any one of those fine works of standard liter ature—and pass the evening with them. In stead en going to a lager beer saloon Look at the contrast. When a young man leaves this reading-room he leaves it with the con sciousness that he has done a good deed; that he has done what an honest young man ought to do. Rev. Mr. Mattis was the next speaker. Ho rejoiced that he was privileged to be present at the dedication of such au insti tution, given not by the cold hand stretched from the cotlin, but by a living man with his heart in his hand and sin cerity in his deeds and words. He con tinued Mr. H;intington has recognized the fact that a good deal of trouole comes from, what we call simply weakness, and also that other fact Which lias passed into a proverb, tiiat "Knowledge Is strength," and has recognized the tact that that knowledge which shall be Strength will come to us more and more us we acquire the stri s of human experience that are laid up in Looks, lie has therefore struck a' the root of many evils at once when he elves to his fellowmen books—he has placed in their hands the root and source of power. Now, to-night in this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of the kind and generous heart which has given all this to US, it has !x en granted to me (and I consider It a great privilege) to say that this pleasure is greatly enhanced by having Mr. Hunting ton still with us; enhanced by this, that we are no? (as is too often the case upon occasions like this 1, merely doing honor to some memo rial table: lixed in the wall. We are not here to eulogise some man who has gone where the eulogies of men are become of very little moment. But Mr. Huntlngton has'by the timeliness of his gift given us the pleasure of saying to him face to face that we are grateful for his beneficence, which has gone up and down through this country from Maine to Mexico seeking out soil that needed cultiva tion, seeking the proper tree to be planted in thai soil, and then seeing that that the tree was properly watered ana pruned and fertil ized—and that we are grateful that that bene ficence is brought among us In this way. and thai to-night we may express our thanks to him i ersonally and not to a Hoard ol Trustees in the presence of some sculptured tablet on the wall. Rev. F. M. Clendeuin then read tho fol poem by Joel Benton: TU'J ÜBBABT or FT. |ToO. P. Huntington.] You give OS from your generous hand Par more than gems r glittering gold, Food lor I lie mind, by genius planned. That rolling years ;>hall not make old. For books outllvo our narrow life, Ami save the heritage of time; Theirs is ;i solace free from strife, Embalmed with prose or edged with rhyme. What Plato thought, what Shakespeare wrote, Arc more than till our passing da>s; While we their wit or wisdom note Our privilege shall be thy praise. Though centuries come and centuries go, And all that live return to dust. This noble jriit shall live and grow Beyond the reach of moth or rust. Rev. A. McMillan followed in a witty and stirring speech. We quote a few sentences: We always value an action according to the measure by which it is free from any selfish inoii\e. A good deed j>enetrates to the heart of the recipient according to the freeness of love t hat w e>;s so express itself. What can we rind of selfishness in this? We can only wish nnd pray God's blessing upon the good man who has distinguished Westcheater with such an institution as shall make it a reputation among the villages and towns of the world. Here there is a place which is to be a blessing to us. Every one can come here, aud no matter how poor; how rich, here will be v place for every one. Those who perhaps have enormous libraries, those may not feel the need ot it; and because —and I speak now as one of you—l know what good there is to come out of such a place as this, can I feel the gratitude for the gift. Rev. Brother Leontine spoke next. He expressed his gratitr.de for the gift and the pleasure he felt in being present at tho dedication "of this edifice that is an ornament to our growing town and a standing monument of the munificence of the donor—one that will speak to future generations to instruct and amuse them, us I hope it will do to this. Brother A /.arias was then introduced and spoke of the value of such a gift, the beneficence of good books, and the in lluence of such a library in the com munity. Rev. F. M. Clendenin was the last speaker. lie addressed the people at i"iigth, spoke of their gratitude for the princely trilt, and referred to many other noble and generous deeds of the donor, Mr. Huntington, of which the world knew but little and of which because of his presence little could be said, but that "came from a heart full of sympathy and most courteous consideration, from a life which feels not only for the sorrows and misfortunes which come to men here and there, but which feels for the sorrows and misfortunes of the mass of men every where, and which stands ready—l am speaking very calmly—from a life which stands ready to do anything in its power to help its iellow-men. To such thoughts as these, though pleasant, we are not to be allowed to givo expression. We may, J I suppose, however, reter to them, which is some satisfaction." lie referred next to the proofs of the value of libraries and reading-rooms, to the pleasure they give, to their educating influence, and continued: "To what happy results thia reading room will lead no one here can fullj- say. It will, I am sure, give to many a pleas ant and profitable hour. You have but to read the well-planned course of lec tures, to sco the games and other health ful recreations which have been pro vided* and well-applied writing-room— above a!!, that kingly company of splen didly selected books—to know* that here is gain without loss,.enjoyment without reaction. '•Then, too, this reading-room will, I doubt not, lead us in its kindly way to a better recognition of the fact that we are brother men bore, bound by sacred obli gation, each to do his part for the com mon welfare. In such a town as our-. In any town bordering upon a great city, thero is a danger of a seliish spirit getting Into fashion, and all people saying in oi fect: 'Every man for himself, and the ilevil take the hindermost.' Into such a community comes a man and gives for the general welfare and happiness not only an enormously costly gift, but. what is far more, days and days of personal iuter- Hood's Sarsaparilla ]s a peculiar medicine.

Surely such an example must have its weight in leading others to a bet ter recognition of the sacred obligation that a man owes a duty not only to him self and family, but to the community where he lives. Let such a principle bo accepted by half the men of Westchester and this place will be changed into a prosperous and boautiful town in a single year. The man who has built this librury is not in any pronounced sense either a Protestant, a Churchman or a Roman Catholic. Every church, as he understands it, excludes somebody, and his great heart cannot bear the thought of the poorest dog being Left out at the last. Whether he is right or wrong is not for us to night to say, but what ever be his faith, this is true (if I know him at alii, that ho respects the faith of any other man, if that man's faith is sin cere aud honest and real, and he would be glad, whatever may come to himself at last, if any truth here found would lead a man to rind in the end that kindly light which lights tho world to come."

As in most plucks the water supply is drawn from streams which pass through land where cattle, horses or sheep gram, a very movement has taken place throughout tho United states towards the puriticivjion of water for drinking purposes m the home it siif. Tne most popular and eilectivo method is to mix a little pure whisky with the water; nitration, it seems, does not get rid of the pn sence of poisonous nitrates. It is to bo Im pressed on ail those who take this method of mg their bealtb thai the whisky used must be pure.

DR M h R^TJIK'^ r, OfatI*1. K.H;cH;iDE;3srTH;D terms, 3^* INTEREST ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS AT 7 PER CENT. 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 and 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 years at 7 per cent. The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro portion oi" the land purchased shall be planted to fruit trees or vines. Land may be bought without this condition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and re maining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with in terest annually in advance, a!: 7 per cent. The various tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have been subdivided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from $50 to $150 per acre. Simi lax unimproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been j sold at $400 and $500 per acre. These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself to be j enc of the earliest in the State, The grape crop of IS9O I from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, 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, Sauterne, 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 sahs made by the company was that of the Tancred i 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, and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY i Good Agricultural Land for $10 i to $2O per Acre. The Pacific Improvement Company has re cently purchased twelve thousand acres of land in the heart of Tehama County, for the purpose of promoting subdivision find settle ment. This land embraces lands from fir t class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, o land of fair average quality, and is offered at from $10 to $20 per acre, in subdivisions ol 40, 80,120,160 and 320 acres. The terms upon which these lands are offered are especially attractive. They will be sold in subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay ment of interest only for throu years, at which time the purchaser can begin the payment ot principal by paying the first of flve equal an nual installments. Thus no part of the prin cipal is to bo paid for three years, and then the purchaser is to have five years in which to pay flve equal annual Installments, with In terest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, making pay: tents extending over a period of eight years. Intending purchasers are as- sured that thl« is an opportunity to purchase laud of fair average quality at $10 per acre, and good agricultural land at $20 an acre, with other grades of land at prices to corre- j spond between these figures. The assertion is frequently made that good lands, suitable for general farming, and es pecially a lapted for fruit-growing, cannot be had in California for less than from $60 to $100 an acre. An examination of the land subject of this advertisement will prove to home-seekers that this is an opportunity for the purchase of good agricultural land at $20 an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair agricultural land at $10 an acre, on terms of payment which should make the disposition of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of accomplishment. The primary object of the purchase of this body of land was the breaking up of a large holding for the purpose of promoting its set- i tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion to ailigent husbandry.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad« vantage to the fruit-grower of being in early locality. In most cases it makes the difference between succes? and failure. The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained by the first fruit shipments of the season, and that 20 acres of this rich land, when the trees are in bearing, will yield a handsome and assured income. The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re« siding in the valley, whose duty it is to show the various tracts to land seekers. Four townsites have been laid out in different pointa in the valley, viz Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason able prices and on easy terms. The enterprising and flourishing town of Esparto ia situaced at the lower end of the valley, and $125,000 worth of substantial buildings have already been erected, including a fine four-story brick hotel, two large brick blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets, besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences. The town has a postoffice, school-house and a weekly paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph and express offices. Postoffices have alse been established at Guinda and Rumsey. This latter place, situated at the head of the valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters foi hunters as well as land-seekers. The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val ley may be thus concisely summed up A soil of great fertility, yielding bountifully of every crop. A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruil and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State. A climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raisins and drying of fruit without the aid of artificial evaporators. A location that is central and close to markets.

THIRTY YEARS AGO. Napa Presents a Sword to Major Edward McGarry. A Brave But Eccentric Soldier —Ills Bear River Battle—Singular Act of a Mariposa Teamster. There are many old Napaites who can recall the night of November 6, 1861, when the members of Pioneer Fire Com pany of that town presented Edward Bie- Garry with a handsome and valuable sword. McGarry had just received an appointment as Major in one of the vol unteer cavalry regiments, and it was ex pected that the regiment would be called East to take an active part in the war. McGarry was a Mexican War veteran, and one of the bravest men that ever wore an American uniform. Instead of iiis regiment going East, however, it was ordered out to Utah to relieve the regu lars doing Indian duty. Patrick Edward Connor of Stockton was the Colonel. Be fore tackling the Indians, however, a portion of the regiment, under Major Mc- Garry's command, was quartered at Camp Union at Agricultural Park, and while there Sacramentans had a good op tunity to become weil acquainted with the Major. ELe had one failing—an appetite for •itrone drink—Which, however, he in dulged only at intervals. When in his Hips McGarry did very queer things. Be was the owner of a thoroughbred charger, presented to him by -Nathan imbs, his steadfast friend and admirer. he horse was by the famous racer Billy "ii.athuin, and bore in its veins the bluest jlood of the blue gnxss region in Ken- Lucky. The Major was a superb horse and when mounted on his beautiful and high-spirited sorrel, he was the very ire of an American soldier. If he happened to have a few drinks aboard then something was sure to happen. At such times the Major would distiu guish himself by riding his horse into vhe leading saloons and hotels, attempting o ride down Se ■essionists on the streets, and :ill Mich capers. Finally Major McGarry was sent out i [daho to punish some Indians that i gone on the warpath. One night, in the 'lead of winter, he marched his little band through sixty miles of snow and surprised the savagt-s in their stronghold daylight. A bloody hand-to-hand bat tle ensued, and the Indians were routed .ifter several hours' hard lighting. The light was known as the Bear River battle. and is said to have been one of tho most iperate lights between whites and In dians that ever took place on the conti The credit for the victory achieved telonged to McGarry and his brave men. McGarry was made Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment, and remained in the service until it was mustered out. Ho hn the 3d of November a large quantity of clothing, a flag, and other articles arrived Prom Grass Valley for Captain Thayer's company at Camp Union. The consignment was accom panied by a letter signed, "M. B. Delano. 'resident of the Lai ciation, containing words of cheer for the brave recruits from Nevada. Lieutenant Frink offered a scries of resolutions expressive of the soldiers' i p; reviation of the kind act of the Ne vada ladies, which were adopted amid cheers. Plowing by steam-power is not a new idea, by any means. It was suc cessfully tried in Pennsylvania thirty years ago. The traction-engines were of twelve-horse-power. WANT FREE WATER Hocto Owner* "Wiio Think Themselves PrtvUcgod l'ersons. For I there has been an unset tled controversy going on between the ity authorities and the various occu pants of Agricultural Park regarding the Jree uso of water there for horses. Thus far the authorities have refrained from pushing collections for water, chielly at licitationof members of the State Board of Agriculture, who have always interested themselves on behalf of the Park people. Of coarse the city willingly allows the society free water during the State Fairs. outside the Park who have to t the water they ith an additional sum for those who fa the justice of allowing those within the Park water the use of horses that are si rtions of the year. The Park is leased for what money there is md city pr. Ten prizes have been donated by members of tho club, and to all those who did not take part in the races on October 4th, who iinish the ten miles in forty-rive min utes, will be given, in addition, a com plimentary ticket to the grand ball to be given by the club some time during next month. That will l)o the first appearance of the boys at a ball in full bicycle uniform, and in all probability they will not appear as much at home as though they were twenty miles or more from Sacramento. enjoying the hospitality of some kind farmer, assisted by his pretty daughters. Last July the active membership of the club was but eight, while there are now nearly fifty active riders on the roll, with more coming in at every meeting. In addition to the regular membership there are three lady riders, who are hon orary members of the club, and by next season there will be enough lady riders to take the pc >ple of Sacramento by sur prise some pleasant moonlight evening, when a dub run is being held over the improved streets of our city. Club runs will be held during the win ter, and when the riding season opens up in the spring a .system of runs will be in augurated that will take in all the points of interest within a radius of from twenty five to one hundred miles of Sacramento. There are some fast riders being devel oped this fall, who by next year will be well able to represent" Sacramento at aii the State meetings. ST. PAUL'S NEW RECTOR Rev. G. A. Ottman to l>o Duly Installed To-Morrow. At St. Paul's Church on Sunday the Right Key. Bishop Wingfield will install the new rector, Key. G. A. Ottman, ac cording to the rite of the Protestant Epis copal Church of America. This is v cere mony that has never been\ield in public in Sacramento before. It will be con ducted with an especially fine ceremonial. The music to be rendered at the differ ent services has been in preparation for several weeks, and tho choir, under the direction of Mrs. Pinkham, will render the "Te Deum" in 1> minor (by D. Buck) at the morning service, and in tho even ing a cantata by Wiske, and "Gloria in Lsis," by Tears.

"There are a great many people in Fol som," added Mr. Bates, "and such a nui sance should not be tolerated." "Yes," said Chairman Ureer, "Folsom is the coming town of tho Pacific Coast." Mr. Bates' motion was carried, and Overseer Boyd'a attention called to the order -n made with the City Trus tees by which they were to pay one-half the cost of the gang, but that the city had paid nothing for two months. Supervisor BhU's moved that Mr. Black be appointed a committee of one to look after tho operations of the chain-gang and spo that the expense of its main tenance is properly divided.

An Unknown Man Frightfully Mangled by a Train.

Supposed to Have Been a Tramp Whom Xobody Knows—A Terrible Looking Sight. The long trestle on the line of the rail road between this city and Davisville has been again the scene of a shocking fatal accident. Yesterday morning: a track-walker ro ported having scon the mangled remains of a man lying by the side of the embank ment just west of the trestle, which is about four miles beyond Washington. Justice of tho Peace Kaup, William Ahem, Deputy Constable Weir and oth ers went out and brought the remains to Washington, or rather as much thereof as they could find. When tho party had crossed the trestle they discovered tho first evidence that someone had been run over, consisting of bits of skin and liesh along the rails. As they proceeded the pieces of riesh be camo more numerous, and before they had gouo far Ahem found the body at the bottom of the embankment, partly ob scured by tho long grass and weeds. It was* in a most shocking condition, being ripped, torn and crushed. One log was entirely missing, and it was sup posed to have been ground into frag ments. The head was frightfully crushed. It was thought that the unfortunate vic tim must have been dragged nearly 200 feet .lustice Kaup held an inquest in the afternoon, but no facts were elicited that threw any light on the subject of the man's identity, nor how he got beneath the cars. Tho supposition is, however, that he was some tramp who was stealing a ride on a brakebeam, and that the train by which he was killed was one of those en route on the preceding night from San Francisco. He had dark hair, a blonde mustache, and wore old and shabby clothing. What was left of the features indicated that the deceased was a Swede, and that he was about ;>>S or 40 years of age. On the right arm are India ink marks, con sisting of a crown, and underneath the crown tho figures "lbSO" and tho letter* "K. B." Tho jury returned a verdict to the effect tiiat the deceased came to his death by being run over by a railroad train, and that his name was unknown. MEADOW LAKE. The Denver Company Baa Confidence In Its l-uturo. Last summer, says the Trnckee Repub lican, wo stated that Mr. Hartley had bonded the mino for SoO.OOO to Denver parties. This statement was true. The same parties have also bonded the U. 8. Grant and Kentucky mines at Carlisle, a few miles west of Meadow Lake. Noth- Ing has been done on the Excelsior this year, bat the tunnel of tho Grant mine has been cleaned out preparatory to com mencing active work in the spring. By the terms of tho bond they are to expend $10,000 in the shape of Improve ments to the mine next season. This shows that the Denver men have confi dence in their ability to work the ore suc cessfully. It is understood that in the spring active operations will be inaugu rated and it is not unlikely that the old camp will boom in a few years. The re openineof these mines will be of great benefit to Truckee.

6 MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. The Theatrical Business Very Bad in Xew York. •'La Cigale" Is Dull and lacking: In Fnn—Daniel Sully's "Millionaire"— Thomas "W. Kccne to ho America's Representative at tho Vienna Inter national Operatic and Dramatic Ex position—ytaee Notes. A. P. DunloD, writing from New York under date of October 31st, says: "The much talked-of 'La Cigale' was brought out at the Garden Theater on Monday evening. It was originally composed by Audran,of 'Olivette' and 'Mascotte: fame, but Ivan Caryl (husband of our own ;.> itself upon one. That tho book is not interesting may not astonish any one, for the English comic opera is woefully dull, but if the music bo Audran'H, then he must be thoroughly played out. The only feature of the performance to rave about is Lillian Russell. Her voice was mag nificent—pare, ringing and unerring. She has never appeared to better advantage, although it is not possible to compliment her on her acting. In Paris the part Miss Ilusscll sings was created by the wonder ful Jeanne Granier. Our own Lillian nings better and looks better, but the oilier members of the company cannot be compared to the original French cast. Tagliapietra, who lias" been in this coun try h Long time, has not mastered Eng lish sullicienily to jfuike himself under stood, and Carl Strietman speaks in dis located German, which makes the per formance somewhat polyglot. Tho opera v. t s put on, literally regardless of ex pense, and nothing produced on this side 01 the Atlantic speaks more plainly of managerial liberality and less artistic "Value. "The Kendals, having been pulled over tho coals for their poor- production of 'Home' last week, have ransacked the cellar of the Star Theater for better scen ery, and have rehearsed so vigorously as to give a good production of' The Irou- Xnaater,' which by tho way has been «1« ne to death by the Kendal company. "At the Windsor Theater, Leonard ike" Honnessy and "Kid" McCoy, of "The Stowaway" Company, are said to be writing a book. Parker and Lotto have reorganized "The Runaway Wife," which will again go on the road soon. The Mary Eastlake English company is to be reorganized under the manage ment of 11. S. Taylor. Katharine Rogers is quite ill in New York, but tenderly cared for by her daughter, Eleanor Moretti. Mrs. Langtry is booked at the New York Standard for January 25th, when her American tour begins. Loie Fuller is soon to go out again with a new comedy from tlie French under the management of Nat Roth. "The Lady from Paris" is the title of a new farce that is being constructed by Edward Hoist and Lew Rosen. W. J. Florence has signed a contract with Frank L. Goodwin to tour next season under the latter's management. Martha Morton has already finished a new piay which she has called "Miss Prue." It is a story of Connecticut life. Frederic De Bellville will play the hero in "Thermidor" after J. Forbes Robert son leaves the cast to return to England. Vida Croly, daughter of Jennie June, was married to Fred W. Sydney last week. Both are members of tho Pitou Stock Company. Mrs. McKee Rankin has sold her coun try villa, The Knolis, in Westchester County, and all her furniture, aud is now residing in New York. "A Mile a Minute" is having a run of two weeks at Niblo's Gardens. The prices of admission have been lowered to 15, 25, 35, s and 75 cents. Montgomery Piaster, dramatic editor of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, is at work on an operatic farce to be called "The Golden Goose." Alice King-Livingston, who some time since retired from ithe stage, is soon to marry a Mr. January of Boston. She is a great-granddaughter of the great Chan cellor. "Jack Royal," the part Harry Lacy plays in A. C. Wheeler's play'by that name, is an entirely new role, for which the talented young actor is recfeiving praise from all quarters. The Kendals closed the Star Theater on Tuesday evening, owing to the death'of A. M. Denison, their leading old man. When poor Gus Mortimer died, Marie Wahiwright was playing at the Fifth Avenue and never stopped for a moment. Clever Nellie MoHenry has made an other success with her new play, "A Night at the Circus," in St. Louis. Nothing she ever had suits the "queen of comediennes" better, and sho has never drawn more money than she has this season. Frank McKee, general manager of Hoyt ik Thomas' enterprises, but lately with "A Trip to Chinatown," has re turned to New York and will probably remain indefinitely at Hoyt's Madison Square Theater, where "The Trip" will begin a long run November l*th. The most important theatrical news in Germany is the sailing for America, Oc tober 2.; d and 24th, of 120 members of the company and stall" of tho famous Mein inger Court Theater. The artistic tri umphs of this company will be repro duced at the Thalia in New York. Edwin W. Hoff, the American tenor, who has made such a marked hit as "Robin Hood in the opera by that name, is not 25 years old. He Is one of the handsomest men on the stage, and all his friends say he has those lovable character istics which make him one of the most charming men to meet in the word. He hails from Baltimore. Advis© to Young Authors. Get originality Into your work, my friend, writes Edward W. Bok in The >ii" the Messiah, and as if an echo of mv soul's thought, a faint strain that might have floated down from heaven, burst into the melody, 'I know that my Ke deemer liveth!'" Another writer going over the same ground says: ".No one can understand Westminster Abbey and few can realize its beauties in single visit. Too many tombs will produce the same satiety as too many pictures. There can be no advantage, and there will be less pleasure, in filling the brain with a hopeless jumble in which kings and statesmen, warriors, ecclesias tics and poets, are tossing about together. I Even those who give the shortest time to j their sight-seeing should not pay less than three visits to Westminster Abbey. lOn the tirst, unwearied by detail, let them have the luxury of enjoying the architectural beauties of the place, with genera] view of the interior, which is 611 feet long and 208 feet wide in the body j of the church. The hight of the nave is 102 feet, while the lofty towers rise 225 feet in the air. On the second day let them study the glorious chapels which surround tho choir and which contain nearly all the tombs of antiquarian or i artistic Interest. On the third let them I labor as far as they can through the mass j of monuments which crowd the transepts and nerve, which are often mere ceno- j taphs, and which almost always derive their only interest from those they com memorate. These throe visits may ena- j blejvisitors to see Westminster Abbey, i but it will require many more to know it—visits at all hours of the day, to drink in tho glories of light and shadow of the one great church of England which re tains its beautiful coloring undestroyed by so-called 'restoration'—visits em ployed iv learning the way by which the minster has grown, arch upon arch, and monument upon monument; and other visits given to studying the epitaphs on the tombs and considering the reminis cences they awaken." Note.—Adapted from "Walks in Lon don,'' by Augustus ilare, Which of these descriptions gives ono the best conception of the vastness and I sublimity of this temple? Is it the one j that tells you that it is Westminster Ab- bey that oppresses you with the over crowded transepts and the mass of unin teresting tombs and cenotaphs, that .states that the towers are22s feet high, or is it the one that leads you through the body of the temple in n dream, awakening In your soul a long train of rich associations; sending your mind back over the centu ries by the sudden view of Shakespeare's form, and then producing the whole I elfect of great distance by making you iook back over the way whence you had come, to find that the massive portal by which you had entered a few moments before, was now but as a pin-point through which a tiny ray of light could j scarcely push its way? This form of indirect style applies par ticularly to descriptions of the grand monuments of the world, both artificial and natural, which seem to laugh to scorn the ordinary combinations of the adjectives of our English language. These temples that make the soul of the small man shrink with a sense of un worthiness, and the soul of the great man grow and expand with an overwhelming sense of sublime uplifting, make the words great, magnificent, glorious, beau tiful and pretty, utterly void of signifi cance. Macaulay touches this thought regard ing indirect description from a slightly different point of view in his essay on Miiton. He says: "The poetry of Milton differs from that of Dante, as the hieroglyphics of Egypt differed from the picture-writing *of Mexico. Tho images which Dante em ploys speak for themselves; they stand simjjly for what they are. Those of Mil ton have a signification which is often discernible only to the initiated. Their value depends less on what they directly represent thau on what they remotely suggest. However strange, however grotesque may be tho appearance which Dante undertakes to describe, he never shrinks from describing it. lie gives us the shape, the color, the sound, the smell, the taste; he measures the srze. His similes are tho illustrations of a traveler. Unlike those of other poets, and especially of Milton, they are intro duced in a plain, business-like manner, not for the sake of any beauty in the ob jects from which they are drawn; not for tho sake of any ornament which they may impart to the poem, but simply in prder to make the meaning of the writer as clear to the reader as it is to himself. The ruins of the precipice which led from the sixth to the seventh circle of hell were like those of the rock which fell into tho Adige on the south of Trent. Tho cataract of Phlegethon was like that of Aqua Cheta at tho monastery of St. Bene dict. The place where the heretics were confined in burning tombs resembled the vast cemetery of Aries. "Now let us compare with tho exact details of Dante- the dim intimations of Milton. We will cite a few examples. The English poet has never thought of taking the measure of Saian. He gives us merely a Vague idea of vast bulk. In one passago the fiend lies stretched out huge in length, floating many a rood, equal in size to the earth-born enemies of Jove, or to tho sea-monster which the mariner mistakes for an island. When he addresses himself to battlo against the guardian angels he stands like Teueriffe or Atlaa; his stature reaches tho sky. Contrast with theao descriptions the lines in which Dante has described the gigantic specter of Nimrod. 'His face seemed to me as long and as broad as tho ball of St. Petors in Rome; and his other limbs were in proportion, so that the bank, which concealed him from the waist downwards, nevertheless showed so much of him that three tall Germans would in vain havo attempted to reach his hair.' The highest art consists in painting tho picture with such feeling and fidelity that the unwritten name leaps to the lips of tho world as it looks with brimming eyes, and strange exultation upon the completed work. A description made of dry facts aud figures is like a painting without au atmosphere. Would you picture a temple? Call be fore the reader's mind the memory of the great souls enshrined there; the holy peace born of the dimness and tho hush; the devotion of one worshiper who si lently pray.j at the altar; tho inspiration that guided the skilled hands and the brains of the builders. Is it a great city? Individualize types by selecting afe w characters. Surround them with their pathos, humor or simple tenderness that is born of the truth. Portray one factory girl; and if you .sketch her faithfully she will tell a better story of factory life than can be gleaned from any statistical Government Is it poverty and want? Picture the starving mother and her desperate efforts to get food and shelter for her wailing, hungry brood, ana you will touch the sympathies of the masses with surer aim than you could by any combination of superlatives expressive of a general con dition of squalor, tilth and vice. Human nature is the same everywhere; it revels in having its sympathies alter nately titillated or tortured. It likes 10 read of the things it lias known in its own experience. It is that quality of style which has made Oliver Wendell Holmes ami Donald G. Mitchell so dear to our hearts. The characters in their books loved, hated, cajoled, laughed, cried, Jived and died as we and ours have done. These authors never caused ns a tear by descriptions of splendors that we never would or could possess; nor did they barrow us with blood-curdling tales of intrigues and crimes that never touch the lives of the great American middle class. Some people have a deep admiration for landscapes into which human figures are not introduced: all the world bows wor shipfully before a significant group of human figures set into a charming land scape. If the picture is a transcript from nature, and those who have seen it ever visit the original spot, what a glamour is thrown over the scene as one dreams of the figures in the picture! What a charm the legend of the Lorelei has thrown about a certain cliff we know. How many pilgrims have followed the foot steps of Alessandro and Ramona in Southern California; drifted from one i hallowed spot to another with bated breath, moist eyes and a world of tender reverie. Do you wish to describe Trouville? Who cares how raauy miles from Paris it lies; how many inhabitants it has; or what the humidity of its atmosphere is? The young girl in the red-roofed chalet where you lodge is named Babette. One soft moonlight night, as you sit in your queer three-cornered balcony, smothered in roses and honeysuckles, and listening to the plash of the'sea. Babette steals out upon her balcony and noiselessly drops over the wrought iron balustrade on to the sward a few feet below. Off she trips through the blooming apple orchard with its gnarled, wind-blown trees, across the white high-road that skirts the cliffs and leads down to the town, then down a flight of stone steps, and presently you catch a gleam of white between you and the sea. It is Babette and she is no longer alone. The following day when Babette comes in to arrange your room you question •her. She closes the door, then comes and stands so near that alas! the garlic of her warm breath is perceptible, and she bursts into a torrent of voluble French. Jacques is poor, and that is the only fault that any one can find with him. She and Jacques are saving all the money they can earn to mollify papa some day. The Cure thinks that papa is much too stern, so Babotte feels justified in stealing out evenings. Babetto sews for the fine ladies that come to Trouwlle for the sum mer, and sometimes she takes charge of their children on the sands. Jacques takes the ladies out boating, and he is no handsome that he brings home many a pourboire to add to their little hoard. Would you like to see the ring Jacques gavo her for her betrothal? "A miserable gilt affair,." you exclaim to yourself, but to her you say, as you tap her.cheek, playfully, "Ho must love you a great deal, this; Jacques." Here you have the local coloring of Trouville, and you have avoided the un pleasant necessity of using tho words situated, population, summer resort, miles from Paris, seaside, style of archi tecture, climate, etc. In brief, if you win approach your cli max by indirect, though graphic and picturesque means, you will produce a much iarger impression on the mind, i than as if you began at the climax. In the formation of worlds in all their i grand concroteness, Nature molds form I and force out of the atmosphere v> hich is to us such an impalpable material. Sho employs heat and cold, tempest and sun shine, time and infinite care, until at length the perfect sphere is revealed to our wondering eyes; the perfect sphere, with its wisely distributed forces brought under the control of the laws ot the Uni verse; the perfect sphere, which will take its place in the economy of the Universe, and roll on with its sister planets through all eternity. Does the comparison demand exempli fication? Can we improve upon univer sal methods? Does not our power consist in adapting ourselves to the modes of the j Universe rather than in trying to create j methods of our own? Emeus Tract Y. Parkhurst. IN RELIGION'S REALM. Expressions From the Various Re iigious Newspapers. The Relielons Thought of the Day us Expressed in the Sectarian Press —Matters of Interest. The Watchman (Bant.) says: "Phy sician, heal thyself,' is not always the courteous, but it is often the just thing to say. When the Methodists at Washing ton enlarge upon Christian union, it is certainly pertinent to remind them that if the seventeen senarate camps into which Methodism is divided could come together organically, something practical would be accomplished for Christian union. When ono considers that the question of the functions of Bishops— Wesley did not believe in Bishops at all —occasions several of these divisions, it looks as if Methodists could close up their ranks without making any great sacrifices. To do this would be an illus tration to the rest of the world of their estimate of the importance of Christian union." The Christian Secretary (Bapt.) says: "We regard it as a great misfortune to Christianity that the trial of Professor Briggs is to occur. We say this without having any sympathy for the heretical views alleged to have been expressed by him. After his answer to the questions propounded by the Trustees of Onion Seminary, it would have been charity to have dropped the whole matter until some now expression of his views was made. Tho trials for heresy that have thus far been held in the history of the church, have tended to confusion and bit terness. It may be that these trials are sometimes necessary, but it is our private opinion that the remedy is worse than the disease." Tho Christian Union says: "The office of Bishop has great and sacred associa tions, high and large opportunities; but when the office has been potential and illustrious, it is significant that the Bishop has been great and commanding. With the bishopric, as with kingship, the office is the opportunity; the man who uses the opportunity is the real power. It is per haps the finest tribute to Dr. Brooks" work as a minister that his consecration sends us searching into the significance of the office to which ho has been called. It is the noble quality of great men that they hold themselves as servants, and recognize how small is the largest service compared with the fathomless needs of human life—how small the largest mea sured by the stretch and reach of truth. No one knows so well as he who does great things how partial and limited is his work, and how divine a refuge from the fragmentariuess of his life is absorp tion in the vastness of God's work, and obliviousness in the vastness of God's life. The church in all its branches, with all its limitations and imperfections, stands for the unbroken historic continu ity of objective spiritual life and work in the world, and the greatest of its children are groat as its servants rather than by virtue of their own peculiar gifts. It was the combination of these two elements, greatness of the individual nature and greatness of the organic, historic service and fellowship with with which it Is allied, which gave tho consecration at Trinity Church, on Wednesday of last week, its deep and beautiful meaning." The Congregational istsnjs: "The Epis copal churches have already in their membership a good many persons who were bred Congregationalists. Among their younger clergy are not a few who were educated In Congregational institu tions. Certainly the attractiveness of the Episcopal Church and its ministry will not be lessened now that a man of Phillips Brook's temper is Rishop. Not that wo anticipate any landslide to the Episcopal Church, but it is well to recognize the fact that ii has taken deep root in our soil and was never in so prosperous a condi tion as to-day. Congregationalism has no disposition to dispute with any de nomination the right to any field. Its business Is not to Congregationalize, but to help Christianize the world. At the same time we ought not to forgot that we have had a prestige in Massachusetts, and we ought to be desirous to retain it. Our future influence and usefulness in the State and in the land depend upon the en thusiasm with which we adopt and ad here to the same policy which, we have no doubt, will characterize Bishop iirook's administration. The policy which will win in this country is one of comprehensiveness, of catholicity, of ag gressiveness." But the Boston correspondent of the iriner (Bapt.) says: "It is only natural that the general interest in toe consecration should have been by some misinterpreted. Certain ample and en thusiastic 'churchmen' have been con founding the interested admiration for a man with a sort of tidal-wave enthusi asm for ii church and a Bishop, and seem to think that we are all on the eve of a gen eral rush into 'the true church.' This has been the humorous feature in the Bishop Brooks incident. One clerical 'spa.e liller' upon a certain great Boston daily has been unable to subside for long. He has been like an intermittent volcano in the eruptive period. To-day he mutters his profound and column-full prophesies of great upheavals to-morrow. Ami to morrow, his soul all affiated, ho gives us no upheavals but his own, and a column and a half of imaginative light of every color. The morning after the consecra tion he was in great form, of course, breathing the moderated triumph of one who bad at last gathered all the scattered in one, and comfortably tucked them under his Bishop. The "fact is, Phillips Brooks will not change materially a3 Bishop Brooks, but the Episcopal Church will be to him much as it has been—that is, what the woodman's tent is to him. He is out all day doing stalwart work in the great forest, and only comes back under its shelter at night to sieep!" Beecham's Pills cures sick headache.

WAKEMAN'S WANDERINGS. Something About the ''Ragged Schools" of England. Brutality Exercised Amonc Helpless Children and Distracted and 1% --norant Mothers—Board Schools and Voluntary Schools—lnherent Wrong In the British System. [Special Correspondence of Ihe Recore- Union. Copyright, 1R91.1 London, October 2C, 1891. Twenty-one years ago the British Par liament enacted that all children of Eng land and Wales? between the ages of 5 and 13 years il the "sixth standard"' had been reached, should be compulsorily ed ucated. At different times since it has made laws that theso children should re ceive this compulsory education, either in various "voluntary" or parish and church schools, or in "board" sch under local and governmental super- vision, and compulsory pay for the same. The State, iv effect, said: "You, Tiny Tot, aged 5 years, ax to attend such school as we may provide, or your ems select, every school day of your life, until you are 13 years of age, or have passed the sixth standard, or we will clap you in a criminal institution; and you, Tiny Tot's father, must pay for what we compel your child to do, or we will line you for every absence recorded againstit, and tax you for the cost of its imprison ment whenever we finally shut it up, sod then, if you cannot pay the accrued and lines, aud the accruing judg-.l ta against yourself, we will also clap you in jaii until they are paid orareliqui d i>y imprisoment, when we will you and again begin the same wholesome care oi yourself and your offspring!" Out of this exquisite system has grown, naturally and in order, millions of school haters and liars; hundreds of thousands of petty law-breakers before the local magistracy; tens of thousands of children —criminals among the good and bad alike; an army of "visitors," inspectors and detectives, whose unexnpowered though universally exercised brutality among helpless children aim distnn and ignorant mothers i.s inexpressibly infamous, and hundreds of so-called In dustrial Schools, or "Bagged" and "Tru ant" Schools, as they are more popularly termed, which, whatever their merits of management on the line of their legalized purposes, are an inexcusable out] upon the inalienable rights of child-life and home-life in any civilize 1 bind. Tho elementary schools are of two kinds—tho board schools and the volun tary schools. The first are yagriely sup- j ported by Governnient allowance' from taxation, though their support actually comes from the parents ofsonblars forced to fettend school, through a fee ranging from one p the backs of those who could not carry the burden. The oluntary schools are simply those schools established under bequest?, the schools founded by associations, and tho parish schools oi pearly every religious denomination in England. They all de mand fees, in most ■•uses exceeding those established by the board schools. In those voluntary schools are usually found the children of those who object to their offspring being "contaminated" by comp anionship with the children of the low 1\ and the children of those parents who regard the religious teachings of the board ols too neutral, or not suited to the I faith to which they belong, but all ti. voluntary schools in time came under the same grading as the board schools, j and, like them, are subject to yearly Gov- I ernmentU inspection. In all cases where thj board school authorities, by impris onmeni oi" parents or children, or by othor "means, are unable to force the fees from destitute parents, they are claimed and allowed from the parish poor rates. There are seven standards or grades, an i a "(special seventh," the latter merely comprising a class receiving special at tention for proficiency. Out of thelai the master chooses those who are to com pete for an annual .scholarship, and this entitles the winner to a collegiate school education of about three years' term. Tho most effective commentary upon tho inherent wrong in tho British system of compulsory education with compul sory payment for the same, is found En a i few briefly stated facts. It is universally admitted by all board school "visitors,'" inspectors, detectives and officers, as well as by magistrates adjudicating school board cases, that it has come to be the most desperate struggle for a large por tion of the lowly oi England, second only to their struggle for bread, to e\ade the registration of their children for school at 1, ndance. If that, to them, miserable misfortune befalls, then it i.s their next unremitting struggle to defeat by every expediency, cunning device, falsehood j and downright villainy, the enforcement j of the law. It relentlessly hunts, haunts I and harries them so long as tuey possess j a child within the compulsory age, and I I personally know of scores of families where one or both parents have been per secuted to their grave, and their children driven from possible respectability to permanent criminal li!e. This information is based on the state ii i- ol visitors, inspectors and reputable people. l>ut any one hasac to the fact that in London, for the I nine months ending March 31, Uftf7, out of the parents of the enormous number of 10,670 children summoned before the po lios magistrates for non-attendance or ir regular attendance, 103 had been pv oosly summoned between eleven and thirty-five times. Not only this, but, ac cording to official returns, for every bun- dred soh- provided (whilethere j is not provision for one-sixth of all Brit- ish children who are entitled to receive) elementary education) there is, under the j compulsory attendance and pay system, an average attendance of only about IS por cent. It is also true that there is an attendance, forced sad voluntary, of only about 7t> per cent, iv ail British element- j ary schools. In other words, after an army of de- j toctivos have found a certain number of i children, which the law mereile drives to school and into paying for the schooling and the driving, tiie utn. rigor of British law—: i by iv leniless magistrates, by constables, de- j teetivrs and "visitors" whose very tenanoe depends upon their vigilance i aud the endless dread of prison to both j parents aud children —can, after all, com pel a school attendance of only ih fourths of the children under actual everyday surveillance. Is it nny wonder that, under suoh a system, the entire school attendance of the great >';i_ Liverpool, for the month of July last, failed to reach 81,000, and that, to provide for tho detention of the rebeluoua among this number, its "Magged School" pris ons in Park Lane, Bond, Queensland and Addison streets were rated to hold i 1,225 child prisoners, with their capacity quite o\ rt'ixed? Children are got on the school lists in three ways—by house to house registra tion, when more than one-half of the i poorer classes deny all knowledge of their children, hide them in the most cunning manner and often incite r: ta with the aid of sympathizing neigh; by parents presenting their children lor j SACBAarEyTO PAffif ftECfrKD-'nyffrJs SATOSDAY, tfoVEfflBEB 1891.—EIGHT PACTES. voluntary registration, and by spying i them oui in the streets and 'logging their footsteps until they arrive at their homes, when an investigation, which oitcuamonnts to a siege, at once begins. The devices resorted to for sequestering children from legistratipn are often piti fully gtotes*o wonder that the vagabond and criminal in.stir.ct becomes predominant in the nature of folk thus hurrassed. nice, on the school lists always on, and always worrited!" is a common say ing among the iiritish lowly. An ex-In spector ol the Liverpool Police force, now a rent collector for a wealthy Liverpool ■merit house owner, told me he be lieved there were 2i>.o.-;e, for illustration, a boy lr.'S been hunted down ana got v nhiii the school board jurisdiction, li a single ab- Dee be recorded against him he comes under all the possibilities of the law. The usual course is, incase he makes a little more than half time, that is, six out of ten attendances two per day, or ten per week being the reckoning—and a "warning" having been served for every seu c, the mother or the father, ana usually the former, is summoned before a police msgistrate. The "visitor" is practically the prosecutor for the board. He makes oath to the "boy's "presences" and "absences." If the mother answers the summons and enters a good defense, the boy may get oil" with a reprimand, but he is permanently thereafter under court espionage, it a breach of attend ance now occurs a second summons is it d ii^aiusi the mother, and a line, the lowest being a shilling, Is never escaped. a: die same time a Superintendent oi tho National S :hool Board is preseut, who, whether the child is from a parish or ird school, will recommend hisoom- I mitment to an Industrial School, and never for a term of less than three years. This commitment is a sentence to one of three conditions or grades of Industrial School prison life: 1, To the Truant School, for boys and girls, for a three years' term, in which case tho culprit is chased by "visitors" to aud from the school, where ho remains certain hours of each day, and receives his food but no clothing, and sleeps at home. The parents are compelled to pay one shilling per week into the industrial School Fund. •1. To the Intermediate Industrial School for boys only, where he is committed, to the a^e of lv, should he be sentenced at .0. Here the lad is in absolute confine ment, and his parents are compelled to pay from two shillings to two shillings and sixpence per week into the fund; and To the Industrial .School proper, for both sexes, under a five-years' sentence. The parents must pay the same sum weekly as to the intermediate fund. They may visit their children ouco every three months, but the latter are never liber ated until finally discharged. On entrance to the Truant School the child belongs to the law lrom 8 in the morning until 0 at night. It remains under precisely the same home condi tions that made its attendance at board school, before commitment, hateful or I impossible. The parental abhorrence of i the system is intensified, and in most '•:;i,es the efforts of botn the child and its I parents to avoid the "visitor's" clutches are redoubled. Any adequate descrip tion of the disgusting and brutal scenes witnessed in the morning "round-up" of I these children from among lowly homes Would till every page of this paper. If the child now attends the Truant School regularly, without the use of force, in six months' time it is permitted to re turn to the elementary school during the remainder of its term of sentence, the authorities regulating Us conduct until it has reached the atre of 14 years. But a single infraction Secures its return to the Truant School regime. [f the child becomes incorrigible under this treatment, it is brought before a magistrate and sentenced direct to the "ordinary" Industrial School, placed in absolute confinement, and is compelled I to labor like any other criminal, the boys at wuod chopping, and making brush and sennit mats, and the yiris at knitting i oarso stockings and making coarse shirts. This is called "putting the child away," and is regarded as an achieve ment by the school "visitors" and au tiiorities. Occasionally a boy or girl is licensed out to service, but those licenses must be renewed, on good behavior, very three months, and they are revok able by the Industrial School Board Com mittee instead of by a magistrate. A trick of the authorities is to discharge i a child, whose term of sentence does not I reach to the compulsory age limit, a month previous to expiration of commit in, nt term. This throws it back into the j compulsory elementary status undei I court espionage. At fhe first dereliction it is resentenoed to another three or five yi:us' term. There are many instances v. h;re children have thus been compelled to serve two prison terms before they were 14 years of age, and if these wiiso authorities are sufficiently alert, a third term, as an "incorrigible," can easily be j administered. In the meantime police magistrates are busy lining parents and sentencing them for non-payment of fees and fines. What ever the iVer necessary these British "Ragged Schools." Edgar L. Wakemax.

Sect*re a sound mind, which seldom goes without sound digestion, by using the genuine Angostura Bitters of Dr. J. G. B. Siegert me of them. Only two have reached and the milestone on the summit, ana have begun to march down on the other side of life's hill. There is a Btrange, close tie somehow between those men; they live together, and are so closely allied in all their pursuits that they have been dubbed David and Jonathan. One of the boys looks op from the rub ber boot, which hois critically examin ing to find a supposed leak: '"Say, boys, do you forget that next Wednesday id Christmas? Rather a sorry Christmas* we are booked for, I reckon," There is a general lifting of heads at this, and onu of the older men answers: "No, I have not forgotten; I never for a day forget when it conies. It used to bo one of the happy days in my calendar, but for seventeen years it is always lie fore me like a grim, accusing thin,,," aud he passes a toil-hardened hand across hi.-* still handsome face. "Oh, Jonathan, you lived her" when times were liush, tell us of the big doings you had then," demands one of the boys. Aleck Erving, or, as he is generally culled, "Jonathan," smiles sadly. "Merry Christmas times, yes; it seems now like only a few days since there used to bo balls and parties and all sorts ofgayety hero, and pretty women, lots of them, and bright children to laugh any play with and make lift seem like it did back at home.'' There are tears in his voice as he finishes this picture of what life had been at Carson's in palmier days. »Jood-looking Joe breaks in upon the silence which follows Aleck's speech. "Well, I wish I had struck Larson's when there were some pretty jyirls here. I haven't seen a girl except cross-eyed .Sally for a month, and as for children, those half-breeds up the creek are all the kids we can count in ten miles, and about daucing, why 1 couldn't even dance :i hoe-down now." "Oh, let up «n that," cries a frank fellow with short browu curls all over his bead. "What takes you to Widow Mar tin's, over the divide, twice a month, it it is not her girls, aud what makes you so anxious to learn ail the new, fancy steps I Learned when I went home last sum mer?" A laugh follows this, for Joe's vanity is an old joke in camp. "Ail rightabout Widow Martin. She's as fair as either of her daughters, but, say, Aleck, what good time1* you must have had then, plenty of pretty women, pleasure and money. I wonder why you and David didn't marry some of those girls, instead of living here always, alone." Aleck's face works pitifully for a mo ment, then he slowly moves toward the door, "1 can't talk any more to-night, boys, but if you come to our cabin Cl rist mas Eve. maybe I can tell you something which will interest you a bit," After Aleck has left the store a short silence follows, until "Dumpy" solemnly invites the crowd to "take something," saying that hu has felt that there was a screw loose somewhere in Aleck's life. The week hurries on; the prophecy of snow has been fulfilled; and over every thing lies the pure, soft covering. Car son's is literally and surely snowed in; only two people from the outside world have been seen for days, aud they are two weary travelers who havo been stranded in this little hamlet, on their way to the larger village further on in the mountains. They are two women, mother and daughter, who have come thus far on the little stage which makes semi-weekly trips to thu different camps, but they have been left here on aocount of the deep drifts. They have kept out of sight as much as possible, and no one of the men in the little boarding-house has seen much more than their shadows. Curiosity of course; is rife about them, especially the girl; and cross-eyed .Sally woo attends to their needs, is plied with eager questions. But they only learn that the mother cries a great deal, and that the girl looks like the picture which hangs in the littlo old chapel on the hill, which last satisfies the miners in regard to her loveliness, for all of them know the really beautiful head of St. Agnes, Which hangs in the chuich. Each one levies upon "Dumpy's" stock of candies and other holiday articles, and on Christmas Ere numerous suggestive parcels are handed to Sallie to present to to her guests in the name of the car-. At 7 o'clock Christmas Eve the entire group of miners have assembled in Aleck's cabin, which glows with a huge fire. The guests are disposed about the room upon stools, boxes and empty kegs —anything which will serve as "seats. Aleck's voice is tremulous as he proceeds With his story, which some one ha 3 in terrupted b}- throwing another log on the fire. "Yes, boys, it was gay here the sum mer and fall of '01*. The mines were booming, money was plenty and all over these hillsides were pretty cottages, rilled with people from everywhere for the ex citement was big and everything red hot, and we thought it would last. I had struck a rich ledge in the old downlead. and it seemed to me that heaven had come right down into my little white cottage the day that pretty Katie Morris came on the stage right from our old home in Lowell. She was so pretty and loving, just like a soft, fluffy kitten, and she loved me so well. We had been sweethearts all our lives, when I was a college boy and she a tiny schoolgirl, and when I came away she promised me to come when I had a homo for her. "She came in May, aud we were mar ried in June, and God alone knew how happy we were that summer. Maybe we were too happy and God punished us for putting idols before him. "Katie was one of the sunniest, merri est little wives in the world, and was never happier than when flitting around me and ministering to my comfort. "Well, the summer went by one mad whirl of excitement: one day there would be a fabulous strike in one mine, the next the collapse of another; the usual discontent amonc the un lucky ones, and the usual display of arrogance, where unwonted wealth made its power felt. Of course, all kinds of men were here, good and bad together, and plenty of {ramblers. There was one, of this last class with i whom my story deals, whom no one in the outside world would have suspected |of bring a blackleg. He was surh a handsome, boj'ish fellow, and so polished In his manners, such a pleasing talker, and such an elegant dancer that he tned destined foi- nothing but a society man, and yet he was one of the most fear men, and one of the most unscrupul ous gamblers that ever came to Carson's. "He and Katie met often at the many ball* given, and I was so infatuated with him that 1 was always asking him to the house. Things went on in this way, and it was Into in November when I began to imagine that Katie was becoming fond of him, and that his attentions to her were altogether too marked. At first I would not .say anything to either of them, but j one day when I went home earlier than usual, and met him coming away from the house looking Hushed and eager, my anger broke over nil bounds, and catch ing hold of the little figure wbich sprang l up to meet mo, I let loose all the devils I had nursed in my he;:rt for so long. It was in vain that sho begged and pro tested they were only arranging charac ters for the masquerade ball, which would take place Christmas Eve, and all the long years which have passed since then I have never forgotten how she clung to i me Jind begged for my love, while I cursed her. "When the time for the ball camo I made her go, and I can see her vat, as she looked in her pretty peasant's dress, with her fair hair braided under a little black I velvet cap. I choose ;i plain domino and j jealously watched her. At lust I saw a form I knew too well approach her. and whirl Jk.t away in .1 waltz, after which they disappeared from the bail-room. I followed and found them iii a little alcove which had bofii cut off from the supper room, Ho was holding her hand and talking eagerly. "I rushed upon them, and coxßing, tried to kill them, but was prevented by the crowd, which came in at her screams. can't tell more of that awful time. Dor of the week thai followed. When 1 remembered again, Katie was gone, and so had Herbert. They had not left to gether, but I fell sure they had met be tore they had gouts many miles. •'1 went to all the towns in the State hunting for them, but could iind no trace. r many months 1 lingered in San iTranciseo, hoping to meet them, when I intended killing them both. "One night 1 went to a tire, and a wall foil, crushing me and two other men un der its ruins. Wo> were carried to the hospital, bat it was not until many weeks h.t.i passed that 1 could sit up and look around the ward, one of the men who had been hurt with mo was on a cot noxl to mine, and was, as yet, unable to move his arms. "Surely, there was something familiar in the outline of that curly head, and while 1 staved he moved, and i looked in the eyea of Herbert Hoffman. 1 tried to spring upon him, but my broken legs re fused to aid me, and 1 sank back. "Katie," I gasped, "where is she? the girl you lured away and stole from me." "i don't know," he answered simply, ';l have never seen her since that night at Carson's, SO long ago." "Do not lie to met" I shrieked, "I am helpless now, but I mean to kill you as soon as I can move; I will kill you, as you lie there." '•I know you will," he said, "and you are quite welcome to do it, but I swear that 1 am telling the truth, when I tell you that she rejected my offered love that night, as she had done before, with words of bitter scorn for me, and of tenderesi love for you. You worn a tool, a madman to doubt her. She was one of the sweetest, purest women in the world, and I was a fiend to try to tempt her, or to even dream she would care for me; but, Aleck. I did love her. I know you will kill me, but 1 have told the truth. I have never touched a card; since I left (arson's, and God knows 1 have tried to be a bet ter man. I don't expect you to forgive me, but alter you get up, and nave finished your score with me, for God's sake lind her, and love her again." "Looking into his eyes, I could not doubt him, and you can call me fool. coward, or what you will, but from that moment my heart warmed toward him again, and it was my sole wish for both of us to get well, so we might together scan h for Katie. "It was a long time before we two pale creatures crept out of the hospital, and by alow stages found our way back into the world; but we did at hist, and for two years we hunted everywhere for my lost .'.ailing. At last we gavo up, and then our hearts turned toward poor old Cur son's. The big mines had all stopped working, nearly all the town had been moved away, and but a few people were here, and they were all strangoiß, and my sad story was unknown to any of I them, and we have staid here. And now, I boys, you know why David and I are always together. Ih is Herbert Hoff man." There is a lot of coughing and of sus picious blowing of noses, among the boys, before Joe at last rinds voice enough to ask: ■"And have you never heard anything of Katie?" "No," answered ho sadly, "it is now seventeen years to-night since I drove her from mo, and perhaps she is dead. If she is she knows how I have repented and sorrowed for her, and how, year by year, her image has dwelt with me, cheering me and helping mo in my mis fortunes, and how my love for her grows stronger with sorrow and time." His voice is unutterably sad, as he finishes, and there arc choking sobs heard in this homely cabin as these roughly-drossed miners gather close around these two men, who in sorrow and desolation are growing old together. None of them notice a noise at the door, which swings open, letting in a gust of cold air. Aleck goes to close the door, and just outside he sees the two women who have been snow-bound at Sally's. The girl stands in front of the older woman, who appears to be weep ing. The girl's face is very (air, and there is a wealth of yellow hair framing her face. She does not speak, but points to the trembling form beside her. Aleck staggers as he sees the face of the girl so like Katie. The other woman drops ncr cloak from about her head, and with her arms held toward him, calls: "Aleck, I have suffered so long, can you forgive?" But the words aro smoth ered against his bosom, where her poor, tired heart is pressed. The men, led by Herbert, quietly go out by another door, and husband and wife aro alone. But after a few moments' silent joy the wife lifts her face: "Aleck, do you know this is our child, our daughter, Aloxia, whom you never saw?" Now indeed is heaven open to him as he clasps this sweet duplicate of Katie to his breast, and the tears which stream down his face aro no disgrace to his man hood. It is late before ho will allow his wife to tell how, half-crazed, she had fled that long-ago night, and wandered on un til a passing stage pickod her up, and at last she had found her self in San Francisco, where when her money was gone, she had vainly sought employment, until her feeble health had driven her to seek refuge with some kind Sisters of Charity; and how, after her baby was born, the world had seemed brighter, and life worth living. And at last tho kind sisters had found her a situation with a rich old couple, who were just leaving for South America, and sho had lived all these years with them, until their deaths within the past few months, when she found they had pro vided handsomely for herself and Alexia. Then the longing which had never died in her heart, to know what had become of her husband, grew stronger, and they had started on a weary search. "It was so sad hunting for you, Aleck," she says piteously, "but last week some thing seemed to tell me to come back to the old mountains, and this providential snowstorm kept us here. 1 questioned the girl, Sally, but she knew nothing of the early days here. To-night she told me that all the boya had gone to spend the evening with 'Aleck,' and my heart told me where to find you. "\Ve stole out and instinct led me to the site of our old home, and I listened to our sad story. Oh, Aleck forgive, for give, and keep me in your heart!" Maybe there is not a jollification in Carson's the next day. The boys cail en mass© on Sallie and order tho very big gest dinner she can prepare, and nearly everything in "Dumphy's" store is car ried in to swell the least. BAt last Herbert, ho who has caused so much sorrow, comes humbly in, and, Without daring to look up, asks: "Can you forgive me?" and Katie, al most as lovely as ever, takes his hand, and says: "Yes, Herbert. We were both foolish; but. thank God, we were saved from guilt. You are my brother, as you have for so long been Aleck's, and no purer kiss was ever pressed on brother's brow, by a sister's lips, th;m is given to him." And iv all the world there is no hap pier Christmas than is passed in this forlorn littlecamp, high up in the Sierras, so destitute of the comforts and luxuries ol life, but so rich in pure love. AX OLD SWEKTUEART OF MINE. As one cons at evening o'er an album all alone, Andmoses on the faces of the friends that he lius known. So I turn the leaves of Fancy till in shadowy dislgii I ilud the smiling features of an old sweetheart of nine. The lamplight seems to glimmer with a flicker of surprise, As I turn it low to rest me of the dazzle in my eyes, And light my pipe in silence, gave a sigh that seems to yoke [ta fete with my tobacco, and to vanish with thesm.-kf. Tis a fragrant retrospection, for the loving thoughts that start Into being are like perfumes from the blossom of th>' heart; And lo dream the old dreams over isa luxury divin;—■ When my truant fancies wander with that old sweetheart of mine. Though I hear, beneath my study, like a flut t. i-; 11 of wings. The voice s f my children and the mother as she sintjs. I fcei no twinge of conscience to deny me any th^me When Case has cast her anchor in the harbor Of a OTi am. In fact, to speak In earnest, I believe it adds a charm To sptoe the good a trifle with a little dust of barm. For I find an extra flavor in Memory's mellow wine That makes me drink the deeper to that old Bweethi art of mine. A flftCe o!" lily beauty, with a form of airy grao Floats out of my tobart at the genii from the rase; And i thrill beneath the glances of a pair of azure eyes As glowing as the summer and as tender as the sides. I can s«e the pink sun-bonnet and the little c!k ekered dress She wore when fiis; I kissed her, and she an swered caress With the written declaration that "as surely a- the vine Grew round the stamp" she loved me—that oid sweetheart of mine! And again I tee! the pressure of her tittle slender hand As we csed to talk together of the future we had planned, When I should ):e a poet and with nothing else tO dO But write the tender verses that she set the music When \\v should live toirethor in a cozy little cot. Hid in a r.e«t of roses, with a fairy garden spot, Where the vines were ever fruited and the weather ever fine, And t'ae birds were ever singing for that old sweetheart of mine. And I should be her lover forever and a day, And she my luithful sweet heart till the golden h:-.ir w.is gray; And we should be so happy that when cither's lips were dumb sThey would not smile in heaven till the otn er's kiss had come. But—aii! my dream is broken by a step upon the stair. And the door is standing open and my wife is standing there! Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions I resign To greet the living presence of that old sweet heart of mine. —James Whitcomb Riley. PROGRESS.

8 AL ROBERTS' CONFESSIONS. He Signed a Statement Accusing His Brother Jeff. My God Must I Tell on My Own Brother?"— More Descriptions of the Train Wreck. Auburn. Xov. n the night of the wreck Al said he was going home and saw three men on the railroad track. Ho was quite sure they were Jeff and the two Indians; watched them and saw Jeff turn off to the right and go up the road. "I went homo then," continued Al in the statement, "and went to bed. Jeff did not come home that night. He got home the next morning after the wreck, and his hands were black and greasy, lie threw the wrench he did it with under the head of Campbell's bed." ANOTHER CONFESSION. Another statement of Al Roberts to tho Sheriff was as follows: "I saw my brother Jeff take the long bar. I saw him have tho long bar Wednesday before the wreck. I saw him take the little bar out of the tool-house by the wood-sin d. It was a drill. He took it away Thurs day before the wreck. 1 went home at ID o'clock that night and Jeff was not there. Jeff done it himself. Mrs. Breos told me that John and Joe left lowa 11 ill Sunday. I know that Jeff done it be cause his hands was all greasy aud dirt. Jeff came in sometime between tho wreck and 6 o'clock." On re-direct examination Mr. Conroy said he had only been Sheriff sinco Jan uary last, lie had never held an office bo fore. Since he had been in office he had never until the present time had two prisoners in his charge who wore accused of a capital offense. The jail he kept the Roberts brothers in was the only jail tho people of Placer County had furnished him with. It was the best he had, ami if the accommodations were bad it was not his fault. While Al Roberts had accused several persons of being implicated in the crime, he had never wavered from the statement that Jeff was one of them. On one occasion Al reached the conclu sion that J elf must have done the work alone. Sheriff Conroy had been on the witness stand just four hours when ho was ex cused. DETECTIVE TRUE. Railroad Detective Ben True of Sacra mento was the next witness. He testi fied that he went to the scene of the wreck from Sacramento a few hours after it hap jjened. He examined tho track and was satisfied that it was a case of train-wreck ing. He went to work immediately to find out all he could. The brush was searched and the crowbar found. Jeff Roberts was following the witness about at the time, and was near him when the bar was picked up. Jeff said he recog nized the bar, but witness told him not to say anything just then, as there were several people there whom he did not wish to hear. Going some distance away, Jeff hesitated about telling, but finally said it had belonged to a man named Dawson. Mr. True then detailed the confession of Al that his brother had been implicated. After the arrest wit ness took the Roberts brothers to Sacra mento. They were taken into Superin tendent Wright's office, and one at a time gave statements. These statements were taken down in shorthand by Robert Montgomery, Superintendent Wright's private secretary. The defense made a vigorous protest against admitting any of these state ments into evidence, but the prosecution worked them in by asking Mr. True to refer to them in order to refresh his memory. As a rule they were substan tially the same as the previous state ments testified to. On October Kith wit ness and Detective Will Smith talked with Al Roberts. This time Roberts said that when he £ot home Jell" was in bed. Al said he was awakened by tho '■rash and ran over to tho wreck. On (K --tober 23d at the Col&x jail witness Inter viewed both of tho i irothera. Albert said then that wben he heard the crash and knew there was a wreck—and saw that Jeff was missing—he said to himself, wonder if he has gone and done this." The cross-examination was net con cluded, when an adjournment was taken until to-morrow morning. SUPERIOR COURT. Department One—Catlin, .Tudcre. [Beard by Judge Van Fleet.] Friday, November oth. O.
