GAERhTT NoNsUITED.-At the afternoon
session Of Department Two of the Superior
Court, yesterday, counsel for the defense
in the case of James l.. CARAT against the
Central Pacific Railroad Company for
$4,000 damages for alleged malpractice on,
the part Of the surgeon OF the railroad hos!
pital), moved for q nonsuit on several
grounds. The motion was argued att
length by counsel on both sides, the de-;
iense claiming: First-that the railroad
company could not be responsible for the.
alleged damage to plaintiffs arm, because2
it had no authority, under its charter, tot
maintain a hospital. Second-tfat therei
was no proof that the company did run or;
maintain the said hospital. Third-that!
;he printed rules for the conduct Of the:
hospital were posted everywhere, were in-s
troduced by the plaintiff, in evidence, andi
showed that he was fully cognizant thereof
when he went 10 the hospital for treatment,
and knew that he was to be treated accord
ing to the judgment of the resident sur,
geon. The Court briefly reviewed thei
case and concluded in terms to this etfect:j
Assuming that the railroad company did,
manage the hospital, and that it even had.
the power so TO do, still the evidenced
showed that the plaintiff knew DR.. Nixon
10 be the physician in charge thereof, andi
knew that if he went TO the hospital forl
surgical treatment he would have TO del
pend solely on the Judgment of DR.. Nixon
As to the character of the treatment re-:
Ceivcd The Court helds that the points,
made in the defendants motion for a non-I
suit were sustained by the facts, rs brought
out in the trial and ordered the case dis
missed Plaintiff asked for and was,
granted thirty days stay Of proceedings.
POLICE CoUET.-T esterday morning the
auditorium of the Police Court was full to.
oyerfowing. All the hangers-on Of Louis
Strauss place and the loalers around John
Norton's saloon were present TO see What
the C0prts would do with individuals who.
keep open, make a living oil OF. and who
have q hardness to defend such places of
resort The police officers who have'
watched those places for years. and the re-;
Durters who have had TO write them up rel
peatedly, have come t. the conclusion that:
such places are not conducted in the best:
interest Of society and they must and should
De suppressed The police have all they
proof required in their possession to CLOSED
them perpetually. and il they do not, then;
the people can ask, why not? Other placeSi

are hilked there every night. and still it Isl
asserted that the man who looks after it is
i policeman. The calendar was quite eX-
tensive, bat the Court adjourned Out of rel
spect 10 the memory OF Grant, without do
NJ any business. EuloEstic remarks were
made 10y Major Anderson and /. s. Brown.
No GROUND FOR A ScAEE-for some days
past references have been made in some
Of the metropolitan and interior journals
20 the recent consolidation of certain MILL
ing firms here and in AIarysyille, coupled
with the assertion that the purpose of the
consolidation was 10 put up the price OF
hour throughout the Sacramento valley
and the mining section. Yesterday a
RECORD MON representative called upon
Messrs. il. G.. Smith. Llewellyn Williams
snd y. d. Rideout, three Of the miilers
whose interests have been joined, and they
individually and collectively denied that
there IS the slightest foundation for the
statement that they expected 10 raise the
price of -four here or elsewhere. They scout
.he idea Of such thing, as being too alb
surd AMI impraCtcahle to warrant n mo-
inents consideration by any sensible per
son. In short, in the words of Dundreary,
'';here's nothing in il.
