| 4 DISGUSTING CAsE.-Last evening off,
Ger Fredericks and special officers Coffee and
Martin heard disturbance in a howell in the
alley between Third and Fourth, NJ and n
streets, and upon going there found the occu-
pants, George Lasner, German, and his wife,
| known as Mary Adams, engaged in a row.
She was drunk and had been pushed into the
mud, presenting a disgusting spectacle. A
| little boy eight or nine years old looked on
with indifference at the familiar scene, and
! hali-starved looking little baby but q few
months old lay on the floor screaming with
| fright. The man and woman were arrested
and taken to the station-house, the father re-
| luctantly consenting to carry the babe, which
! had to be wrapped in a blanket to protect it
| from the cold. The drunken woman with
her little babe and the young boy were placed
with the other women in the large CELL which
| is far more cheerful and clean than the place
where they were found.
KNOCKED OFF THE TRAoK.-Ye sterday
afternoon as the Folsom train was coming
into the city, and when between Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets, man was observed
walking along the track. The engineer did
not notice anything peculiar in the style or
| gait of the man, except that he did not look
up, and thought that he would step aside.
When near him the bell was rung and the
| whistle blown, but the engine could not be
stopped before it had struck him and knocked
| him from the track He was picked up and
taken to the Railroad Hospital, where his
wounds were attended to. He was severely
bruised and unable to tell his name or explain
why he did not leave the track, though he is
not a mute. He is an Italian about 80 years
old, and is unknown to the railroad men.
THE WEATHER. Yesterday at frequent
intervals light showers of rain fell, and the
atmosphere was very cold. At 10 o'clock
last evening gentle rain began, and at .
o'clock this morning continuous. On the
mountains west of Blue Canyon it is raining,
but east of that point light snow is falling.
The river took fresh start yesterday and
rose three inches in the II hours preceding
midnight. At that hour it marked 10 feet
| II inches-the greatest hight attained this
season.
CHILpRES's PARTY.-There was merry
children's party given at the residence of
police officer Fredericks, on street, between
Third and Fourth, last evening, the occasion
being the anniversaries of the birthdays of
his little daughters, Annie and Francis, who
are and years old respectively.
