SCHOOL MEETINGS.
The call for meeting OF parents OF chile
ren in public schools resident in Precinct
a. last night, was responded to by between
thirty and forty citizens. who assembled at
Byrne's consolidating establishment on o
street. between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets. Sparrow Smith was called TO the
chair and stated the object Of the meeting to
be to consult regarding the school officers
election the first week in December. George B.
Katzenstein was elected Chairman. Speeches
were made by Messrs. Boyne, Henderson,
Jost, Katzenstein, Wiley, BOIL, Taylor and
others, A resolution was offered irdorsing
the nomination of Felix Tracy for Director
and opposing the nomination of DIR. Lame
for Superintendent. A division of the ques-
ton was demanded, and brought on warm
debate, and finally the motion indorsing Mr.
Tracy was unanimously adopted, the motion
opposing DR.. Lame was abandoned, and the
resolution YVES unanimously adopted dis
approving and condemning the action of the
Republican City Central Committee in fore
staliug the action OF the citizens meeting
then already called, and in nominating at the
time and as was done" 4 second resolution
was then adopted, instructing the Chairman
to call a meeting Of ell the citizens of the
ward to be held at some central point, to
further consider the matter. The meetings
then adjourned. The general sentiment of
the meeting, as expressed, was that the citi-
Z9us should have been permitted to nominate
irrespective of party. and that they should do
SO still, and that the action Of the Republi-
can City Central COMMITTEES was hasty, and
had to prevent action by parents of pupils in
the schools. The expression was not person
ally hostile to the nominee for School Super
intendent, but against the committee and ia
favor of the plan suggested by the Chairman
of the Central Committee.
The Democratic City Central Committee
met last evening at the Capital Hotel to con-
slider the school question. The expression
was decidedly against making party nomina-
tons, and strongly in favor OF nominations
by citizens meeting. With a view to fur
Their consider the matter, the committee
agreed that it would thea make no nomina-
tons, but would meet again Saturday even
irg TO again resume consideration of the mat
tec.
No meeting was finally held in the Third
Ward last evening. Quite a number gathered
at the Court house, but after waiting short
time dispersed.
SUDDEN DEATH. = George w. Gilbert,
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, died
yesterday afternoon, at the Union Hotel, in
this city, after an illness of only few hours.
He went to bed as well as usual night before
last at about IL o'clock, but two or three
hours afterwai DIS became very i'll with pneu-
nonia. Physicians were summoned, but con-
gestion set in and he grew rapidly worse,
until between / and 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon, when he died. The deceased was an
old and prominent resident in this city and
upon the coast. He was born ia Cincinnati,
and came to this coast from Dayton, Ohio, ar
irving here early in 1850. He has been
resident of Sacramento since about 1852, and
the greater portion of the time has been en-
gagged in conducting stage lines between this
city and various towns in the mountains.
He has beenI more or less connected with
Agricultural Society matters, especially with
the speed department, and was at one time
Secretary of the State Agricultural Associa-
ton. For several years he has bsen con-
nected with the internal revenue Office of
this district, and was at present Chief
Deputy Collector. The deceased was 80
years of age, and was never married. The
time for the funeral had not been announced
last evening.
in this Court yesterday was as follows: Len
Hodgkins was tried and declared to be
vagrant :; also, John Robinson, deaf mute,
was tried for same offense, and declared to
be guilty he was sentenced to sixty days
in the County Jail, with attending vigorous
exercise, under superintendent of Deputy
Sheriff Garrett The Judge, after consider
ing these cases, expressed his warm approval
of the action of the police in arresting this
class of worthless fellows, and prosecuting
them for their worse than INDECENT habits.
He said that the only avocaticn which they
plead as defense to prosecution is doing
some chores about houses of il-fame, and
that they are blot upon the fair name of
the city, and should be compelled to go to
work and earn an honest living. He hoped
the officers would continue these arrests as
often as they found subjects liable to the
charge of vagrancy. The case of vagrancy
against William Clark was continued. Pat
and John Gallagher were faed S25 each for
disturbing the peace, and the cases OF George
and E. G.. Ebert were continued until to-
morrow.
