New QUARTERs.-George L. Bush, the
we'll. known dealer in gas fittings, plumbers
supplies, ETC., and worker in gasfttlng and
quarters. For many years MIR. Bush's es-
tablishment has been located on the south
side Of street, between Third and Fourth.
His salesrooms we've in the front, and the
workshop in the rear of that building upon
common floor. But this arrangement was
inconvenient and too limited. MIR. Bush has
now taken possession of new store-room at
513 street, between Fifth and Sixth. 1t is
so by 20 feet. The south half. or nearly half,
of the room, has been separated from the rear
section by a railing constructed of gas pipe,
from the main joints of which rise graceful
standards, surmounted by gas burners and
ornamental globes. All the floor in front is
covered with tapestry carpeting, and is fitted
up more like parlor than store.room.
Here is the shelving for fine gas fix
lures, and here hang from the ceiling
new goods and rich and handsome
designs in gas fixtures. On central table
are the gas standards, and the lighter and
more ornamental goods. In the rear section
are the plumbing goods on shelves and ter
races and in drawers. Here are closet-basins
with traps set up, SO as to show them in
operation, and enable all the machinery and
working of the various traps to be seen dis
tinctIy. Here, too, are set up standing
wash basins, with traps attached for exhibit
ing the operation of the same. Beneath this
storeroom, which is well lighted, and has two
ample show windows, is the workshop. 1t
is 100 feet deep and has approaches and exits
both from the street and the alley, and indie
pendent of the storeroom. This workshop is
roomy, and is fitted up for the purposes In
tended and to excellent advantage. The
whole establishment is decided improve
ment over the old one, ard its opening last
evening was a noteworthy business change.
CARELEssNFss AND INJURY.-Last evening"
as a gentleman was walking along the east
side of Sixth street, between III and l, he
walked against and fell over pile of lumber
about foot ard half high, which lay di.
rectly across the walk and extended out into
the street in front Of the Capital Furniture
Factory, causing quite serious injury. There
was no light in the vicinity, and the lumber
could not be seen. The carelessness of leav
ing Instructions upon the walks in localities
where there is not SO much travel Is far too
common. and greater caution should be exer
cised in regard to it. OF course, parties leav-
ing such distractions aud causing accidents
are responsible for any damage occasioned-
thereby, and rigid care against everything thaI
may possibly bring about such occurrences
is not only in the interest of public safety.
but also personal protection against actions
sounding IN damages.
IRREGULAR MAILs.-A correspondent at
Howard Springs complains that the mail be-
tween this city and that place is very IT.
regular, and would ike to know what Post
master between Sacramento and Calistoga
is the cause of it. He very graciously ex-
onerates the Postmaster ia this city from all
suspicion, but would like to have everybody
else inquired into forthwith by Mr.. Nc
Kussick or any other man who may have an
opportunity or ability in that direction. He
states the usual and patens fact that the
papers that are always missing are those that
are most desired and that he cannot wait fer,
and goes up the road to meet, only to find
that somebody else has got them.

METROPOLITAN Widow Be-
dott drew another good house last night,
and the audience, as on the FIRST night, was
! kept in constant laughter. One of the most
strikiugly presented characters is that of Tim
Crane, as taken by Harry Rich. 1t is rich
piece of acting and unequaled for its gro
tesqueness by anything in that line since the
DAYS of Yankee Locke. Tonight the ovid
der" will again set traps for Tim, thwart the
plans of Melissa and capture Elder Snifiies.
