POLICE COURT.

! the Police Court yesterday: Frank Halll-
han and G. Ii. Rice, charged with disturbing
the peace and quiet of the usually peaceable
neighborhood of L, between Second and
| Third streets both pleaded guilty. They
had disturbed the peace of siren in that
notorious locality, and although the female
| who had been disturbed did not put in an
| appearance, policeman was on hand to tes-
| tify to the fact that she had been disturbed,
and the defendants were fined S25 each or %
days in the County Jsil. Some one of the large
| audience asked where the party whose peace
was disturbed was, but lie was Immediately
silenced by one on the inside, who said, " A
policeman is here to prosecute the case"
The next case called was that IF j. Mace,
who was accused of having made an assault
on lady who gave the name of Mrs. Rear
den.
From the evidence it appeared that Mace,
/ who is rather a good-lookiug fellow, had
made love to and caused Mrs. Rearden to
leave her husband. They had lived in San
Francisco for some time, but few days since
came to Sacramento. 1t appears that he was
dude without means, and she, tired of put
ting up for his board and room rent, proposed
to return to her husband and children. APP
parsntly this did not suit Mace, as he would
be left without means, and be strenuously
objected to her leaving him. In some way
he became possessed of letter from her hus-
band to the faithless wife, and would not
surrender it to her unless che would consent
to remain with him. They went to the train
together, and at the depot they quaIrelled
and finally fought about the letter, and both
were arrested and lodged in the city prison.
After hearing the facts in the case the Judge
fined Mace 500 and Mrs. Rearden 50. The
L. lnfE il loo
she said she would Immediately leave the city.
DEATH OF AN OLD CAPTAIN.-The friends
of Captain Galloway, fer many years pilot
and captain of steamers between Sacramento
and San Francisco, will be interested in the
following item from the San Francisco Bill
leti1, % The sudden death of Captain William
Galloway from acute pneumonia, at Yuma,
A. T., on Saturday last, is announced by
telegraph. Captain Galloway was born in
Philsdslphia in November, 1917. Ia Osto-
Der, 1919, he landed in San Francisco from
the steamer Unicorn, and almost Immediately
became connected with navigation on the
rivers Of the State as pilot. Numerous H.
stances Of his reckless daring in rescuing per-
sous from watery graves are related, and it is
estimated that more than twenty-five persons
owe their lives to his timely assistance. His
generous and charitable nsture endesre1 him
co all with whom he came in contact. His
character was as independent as fearless. He
was a stesdisst friend and an exemplary hus-
band and father. He was not only a master
Of his calling but possessed no little literary
ability, and his correspondence was marked
/ by those evidences which exhibited natural
inclination for the dominion of letters"
TUNNEIs.-Two tunnels are being dug I'M
der the Central Pacific Railroad tracks be.
tween the machine shops and the foundry
! One, which runs beneath the rails at the end
OF the Third-street bridge, is intended for
foot passengers, and will be used extensively
/ by workmen going to and from the shops. 1t
will be lined by concrete walls, each % feet
! thick at the bottom, tapering up to 3.foot
! thickness at the top, leaving clear passage
/ feet wide and about 10 feet high. The
! large tunnel, which will be used by teams, is
| lined by concrete walls 6 feet thick at the
| base and 3 feet at the top. The passage is
! 800 feet long, IA feet wide and III feet high.
| The work is beiag done IN very thorough
manner, and the completion of the tunnels
! will do away with a great danger that has
always mensced those who daily passed in
! front # the many trains that continually roll
up and down the tracks at that place.
BURGLAR BULLETIN.-It has been reported
that within the last two weeks the
butcher-shop on the corner Of L and Seventh
streets has been burglarized seven times

Kuee.chairs are being put on the curves and
tie bridges braced to stfaa the track, so as
