POLICE COMMISSIONERS. - The Board of
Police Commissioners met at . P. NJ yester-
day. All the members were present. The
minutes Of the last meeting were read and
approved. The Commission thought it not
best 20 elect an officer to fill the vacancy
caused by the dismissal Of Eldred until the
next meeting. They had selected an indi-
vidual for the position, but when it was ten.
deTed him he Indignantly spurued the propo-
sition, saying to the Commissioners. "Get
behind me, Satan" The cases Of officer O.
c. jackson were continued until p NJ. to-
day, when they viii both be investigated.
Jackson asked the privilege Of making o
statement and the Commissioners allowed
him to do go. Mono Of the parties who are
witnesses in the case were present, and the
same statement will therefore be again made
today. Jackson's statement went to show
that he was not guilty of doing eny inteu-
tional wrong. He admitted that Rogers, the
piano-tuuer, for whom he obtained the locket,
was not as good Gs he ought to be, and had
served one term in SAP Quentin. He charged
that Polymath, the jeweler ct Eleventh and
streets, kept q fence and purchased stolen
goods. Rogers never psid jackson the SIS
for the locket, but made him Q present of an
elegant gold ring. The Board adjourned to
. P. NJ. to-day.
COUNTY HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONERS.
There has been an impression upon the part
Of many interested in fruit.growing that the
Act creating the new State BOsrd of Horti-
culture, passed last winter, repealed the Act
passed in 1881, creating Boards of County
Horticultural Commissioners. Under this
belief Supervisors in many counties have not
filed vacancies caused by expiration of terms
of service under original appointments. and
soma have declined 10 recognize the validity
of said law, believing it not to be in force.
Dr. Chaplin therefore requested the opinion
of the Attorney-General upon the subject,
and received the following reply: IS +.
T,praoEor cf ErufA Danr
1t is my opinion that the Act of 1881, emit.
tied an Act to promote the horticultural in
terests Of the State, is not repealed by the
Act of 1883, entitled an. Act TO create
State Board OF Horticulture, there being no
conflict between the provisions of said Acts.
There is no reason why the County Boards of
Horticulture should not exercise all their
powers ard discharge their duties under said
Act of 1881. so far as the same do not con-
Aict, or are not inconsistent with, the powers
conferred upon the State Board Of Horticult-
ure by the Act of 1888. Very respectfully,
Z. G. Marshall, Attorney General"
THE SHARP FooT- RAcER.-Co Constable Sam
Harvey, who went to Grass Valley for the
notorious foot-facer Gilpin, arrived ct thst
place only to find the bird flown. It had been
learned here that Gilpin was in that noun.

30 arrest him. He soon received q reply from
Constable G. @. Townsend Have arrested
Gilpin. What shall do with him 2" Chief
Karcher telegraphed in reply: " Hold him.
Win send officer" Aud accordingly Con
stable Harvey was dispatched for him. The
officer learned on arriving there that
while Constable Townsend was in tina teie-
graph office for the purpose Of sending n dis.
patch to Sacramento, and accompanied by
the prisoner. the latter deliberately walked
out. The telegraph operator called the atten-
ton Of the Constable to what the man was
doing, and the reply was. " He won't go far"
He evidently did, however, for Constable
Harvey, after leaving warrant with Mar
shal Reynolds, returned alone.
