City Trustees.
The Board of City Trustees met in regu-
lar session yesterday morning. all the mem
bers present.
The report of the Chief Engineer of the
Water works showed that the machinery
had been in operation 16S hours during the
past week, and 50,054 900 gallons of water
pumped.
A resolution was passed declaring it to
be the intention of the Board to have
vitrlfied ironstone-pipe sewer constructed
IN the alley between | and J, from Third
10 Fourth street, together with connections
and branches and flush tank at Fourth
street.
Robert Miller was granted ten DAYS fur
ther time in which to complete the grading
and graveling of Third street from |. to NJ.
The Street Commissioner reported hay
ing had the drainage canal cleared from
Sixth street to the Riverside road. The
sediment was carted away by Daniel Flint,
who regards IL as an excellent fertilizer
The canal will be cleared below the road if
the farmers will take away the sediment
that is thrown out.
L. Q. Churchman reported that the well
he was Eoring was down 125 feet, and he
would sink II to a depth of 300 instead of
200 feet if allowed to make a nine inch
bore instead of a ten. The Board gave
their consent. The water rises to within
ten feet Of the surface, and appears to come
from depth Of sixty feet. The bottom of
the well Is in very hard pipe clay, and Mr.
Churchman says il is the hardest boring
he has ever encountered in this section.
After allowing a large number of bills
the Board adjourned.
New PosTMAsrER-The dispatches from
Washington yesterday brought the news of
change in the Postmaster in this city, r.
d. Stephens being appointed to the posi-
ton III place Of Mr.. Green, suspended. OF
course there was no occasion whatever for
the suspension of our present Postmaster.
except from a political standpoint that "to
the victors belong the spoils.' The Sacra-
mento Postoffice affords a salary of $1,000
per year, which, notwithstanding the profess
sions of the Administration in favor of
civil service, could not be expected to lin
ger long in Republican hands. Mr..
Green's term would not have expired until
December, 1887. No one could more than.
conjecture what grounds for sus-
pension the President will give to
the Senate when it meets, but
probably =" offensive partisanship" will be
the convenient reason. As to Mr. Stephens,
there could not have been made more
acceptable selection to the business public
of Sacramento, and the people generally,
from the Democratic ranks. The new Post
master is well known to every one, having
ably served the county in the Legislature,
IS sterling and thoroughly reliable bust
ness man, and will unquestionablv make q
most excellent officer in every respect. As
10 his party standing, he has always been a
Democrat of the Democrats, and has ever
held leading position, not only in the
party's councils in the city and county, but
in the State. Mr.. Stephens innumerable
friends-in both parties-will expect to see
model administration of the Office
SERrcULTURE.-Mrs. Louise Reinzi, one
of the Commissioners of the California
Board of Silk Culture, who has had charge
of the Boards exhibit at the State fair, and
which display attracted so much attention,
returned TO San Francisco yesterday. She
has recently received q letter from a Direc-
tor of the Journal Of Commerce and Sericult-
IRE at Milan, asking for information con-
corning the silk industry in the United
States, and especially upon the Pacific coast.
He writes that colony of expert cul-
tiyators of the silkworm and the mulberry
tree, from Italy, would gladly come to this
tb.lSl lOl NilG pun RtSt VI GllSuElIlR III SCTl-
culture if opportunities are favorable. In
quiries were made as to the kinds and
quantities of mulberry trees now grown
here, as that would be the essential basis
for an experimental effort or colony. Until
mulberry trees are grown in sufficient guam
tity to furnish food for an extended cult
walton of the silkworms, no successful
movement, he remarks, could be made.
He also inquired whether the Cattaneo
mulberry was grown here, and suggests
that from recent experience in that country
this comparatively new variety has proven
superior to all Others on account of being
more hardy and certain to succeed in al
most any climate. He regards it much bet
ter than the japanese, which, until the
Cattaneo was cultivated, was considered the
leading tree. In addition to being more
hardy, it also affords greater abundance of
foliage Mrs. Reinzi says that it is proba-
bic importations of plants of these trees
will be made necessary.
