Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-08-19

adopted by the ladies OF Sacramento. At
first thought it would seem this material
would not be at all ornamental, but the ladies
claim that by the time they have taken three
or four evening rides with the gentlemen
who are necessarily required to keep putting
cigars to give their driving high toned,
business air, the new dress ornaments take
decided brown color very similar to the much
admired Dutch pipes. Ladies of refined
habits and taste have generally held an open
or secret disgust for the travelling smoke
house business On such occasions, but
now the gentlemen will take courage,
and ally spruce escort who cannot
get away with at least half dozen of turnip
leaf Havanas during single Riverside drive,
and keep the couple developed in cloud of
smoke asd obscurity, will be summarily fired
off the course The ladies even suggest that,
if necessary, the gentlemen should refrain
from smoking at other times and concentrate
their efforts in that direction to the occasions
of evening drives. This process, of course,
involves impartiEg a somewhat diney, gypsy
like appearance TO the complexion of the fair
ones, but any lady who will not submit to
this for the sake of the style, and to conform
TO the highly acquired taste and manners of
their gentlemen friends, is not to be for
moment tolerated.
BOARD or SUPERvIsoRs.-The Board of
Supervisors was in session yesterday. But
little business came before it. There were
present Messrs. Bauer, Blair, Butler Beck
ley and Wilson. III. NJ. Larue, President of
the State Agricultural Society, came before
the Board and requested that new floor be
laid in the upper hall of the Pavilion. After
hearing his statement and discussing the
matter to some extent it was taken under
sdvisement. Consideration Of the petition of
Fred. Meyers ct al, for a separate Swamp
Land District, was continued by request of
attorneys for petitioners until full Board is
present. A protest has been filed against the
approval of warrants now in the hands of the
Board in relation to Swamp Land District
No. 341, and the Clerk was instructed to
notify the Trustees of said district of the
filing of the protest. Mrs. Mansfield APP
peared before the Board and made state
ment IN relation to a child left in her care
without my means provided for its support,
and asking an appropriation for the purpose.
After consideration of the case the sum of
SO was appropriated for its support until
iourned until 10 A. ". to-day.
TEAMFs AMONG THE CHICKENS "A depu-
tation of tramps from the community of that
persuasion residing outside the levee, at the
north end Of the city, made call at hem
roo7t in the vicinity of Sixteenth and i
streets at very early hour yesterday morn
ing. They had two favorite chickens decapi
tated and while meanderiug for mole we're
suddenly frightened away, leaving those al
ready killed. A report of the occurrence
was made TO police headquarters, when Off
GERS trszee, Fredericks and 0stwaldt visited
the tramps' place OF resort over the levee. 1t
appears they were encamped there in goodly
numbers, with watchers out and the action
of the officers was forestalled by their scat
tering into the surrounding thicket. They
left partially prepared breakfast, consisting
Of fou- fresh-killed ducks aud n supply OF
bread, besides good FIRE, with boiling water,
cooking utensils and some articles OF wearing
apparel. The abandoned property was taken
70 the station, and the tranps probably had
to so without square meal until another
foragiug trip last night.

fire was turned in yesterday morning about 3
o'clock frem box "a corner of Twelfth and
q streets, caused by the burning of the old

q streets, when it was evidently set on fire
by some person to prevent It's being moved to
another lot and perpetuated, as was being
prepared for. Since then it has been moved

where it was to be fixed over. 1t belonged at
present to the Badlam estate, and this time

the building was not to exceed $500. upon
