THE LAST MM.-The last man ap-
peared again to-day, and came very
near being the last of a man. While
the Genital Pacific train for San Fran
cisco was passing along Front street,
between X and L, this noon, On indi-
Vidual who had been belated attempted
to get OIL board of one Of the coaches.
AS he jumped he missed his footing,
but hung to the hand rails with both
feet dragging under the car, in which
position he held for q few minutes.
Two men ran out and tried to get him
off. but he would not loose his grip,
being afraid probably Of falling under
the wheels. It was found necessary to
stop the train before he could be got to
let 60. He then got on the a and
went on his way rejoicing.
SHARP TRANSACTION. - Last night
four men shipped fourteen fine horses
by rail to Omaha. This morning the
Sheriff of Yolo county appeared In
town In search of the animals. It ap-
pears that on Thursday last these men
went over into the tules in Yolo county
and picked out and drove to this city
the best horses they could find, which
they shipped as above stated. The
| Sheriff of Yolo found one Of the mon
here and arrested him, and Is In search
of the balance. The horses will OF
| course be ordered back by telegraph.
| For cheek and GOODNESS this business
| transaction Is one OF the sharpest we
ever heard OF.
DELAYED TRAIN. The passenger
train from San Francisco which should
have arrived here at 2 o'clock yester-
day did not reach the city until 3:2S,
having left Oakland one hour and ff-
teen minutes behind time, owing Its
detention to the immense excursion
train of forty-one oars which left San
Francisco for San Jose, and being de-
tanned a short time OH the road by the
westward bound train.
PLEASANT RECOGNITION. - At the
camp meeting yesterday a mar went
forward and inexperienced religion"
In q subsequent conversation with the
wife Of one Of the reverend gentlemen
from the East, she discovered that In
the convert she had found n brother
who had left his home over fifteen years
ago, and whom she had not heard from
since that time. The meeting could
not but have been a pleasant and affect
ing one.
FREIGHrINa.-The freight train to
San Francisco was large. In addition
to the local freight, there were twenty.
seven car loads Of "tlme goods
through from beyond Omaha on time.
Among these cars vas one Of the RED
Line cars-the first that has arrived
on this coast from that road. The same
train also had three a loads Of bull
lion from Pallsade, two of ore from
Ogden and one of ore from Elko.
DISGUSTING SIaHT.-About half-pasi
8 o'clock last night we saw two women
walking up X street In a state of beast
~ intoXication, and forced to exercise
as much caution In retaining their equi
librium while corkscrewing from the
edge of the sidewalk to the buildings
rs any professional topper we ever saw
If there Is any M sight TINT Is more
painful and Mt the same time more dis
gushing than another, that sight Is
drunken woman.
PosTpoNEp. = Eugene Vests 100
mile ride against time has been post
poned until next Sunday. When tin
hour for starting arrived yesterday thu
high north wind prevailing at the tim'
blew the dust in clouds, rendering |
impossible to ride, or even TO see
Consequently q postponcment became
necessary.
PLANT OYsTERs.-Booth, the oystc'
man Of Chicago, has just received
car load of small oysters from the East
to be planted in the oyster beds of Sal
Francisco. He claims to have brOugh
out and planted the lot In 1870, TO
which the bay papers have given Wi
mans s. Co., Of that city the credit.
