LOCAL INTELLIGENCB,


Sacram ento Suppresses Gambling.
The SACRAMENTO RECoRD-UNIoN an
nounCes that during the last three months
gambling has been completely suppressed
in that city by the mere exercise of vigor
and diligence by officials, without an arrest
or 4 trial, without any philanthropic or mis-
siOnary aid. In this connection the RECORD
UNION scores the press of the State, which
has never neglected an opportunity to
fay the bacl, OF the Capital City for tolerat-
ing gaming" for remaining silent regarding
the accomplishment of the reform demand
ed and asks whether its failure to acknowl-
edge the achievement of Sacramento arises
from ignorance of the facts, or preference
for recording errors and evils rather than
good deeds and reforms. lfthe accomplish
ment of this desirable reform has been
before distinctly announced it has escaped
our attention. Ifthere is no mistake about
the matter, We hasten to offer our con-
gratuiations upon the suppression of an
evil which has been a standing reproach 10
the capital Of the State. If the reform can
abide the test of the next State Fair we
shall feel encouraged to believe in its
thorotghness and permanence.-[San Fran
cisco Bulletin. July 10th.
1.-THE fact was announced when first ac-
complishcd-tha is, on the day the
gambling shops shut up. The REcoRD-
UNION has several times since announced
the success of the effort to suppress The
reform viii abide the test Of the next State
Fair. for il has been demonstrated that
gambling can be stopped at any time. Be
fore an honest and determined announce
ment on the part Of the officials, gambling
will retire-it seeks no legal conflicts
What has been done here demonstrates
that one determined officer can close every
gambling house i'll San Francisc0-the
declaration Of the entire police force of San
Francisco to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The Bulletin need not fear, SacramentO's
officers viii not permit that in September
which they have proven can be suppressed
by then IN all other months of the year.
SNEAK THIEVES ARREsrED.-We Wednesday
evening the room OF Philadelphia COM
mercial traveller at the Golden Eagle Hotel
was entered by a thief and robbed of all
his samples, consisting mainly of under
shirts. stockings, etc. The fact was re-
ported at the Police office yesterday morn
ing, ana officer Sullivan worked up the
case arresting a French woman named
Mrs Anger, alias Andrews, and her son,
siX-fOot Youth about - years of age, in
their room at the Grand Hotel a filthy
apartment. with but one bed, in which the
son was living when the officer entered.
Nearly all OF the stolen property was found
concealed beneath the bed, and the woman
claimed that the articles were her property,
having been sent to her from San Francisco
by her uncle, who. she said, went East
ABOUT two weeks ago. The boy had a pair
of the stolen stockings on his feet, and
three pairs of the undershirts were found
at a place on X street where she had
pawned them. 4 coat, which was stolen
from closet in Jerry Paine's saloon an
evening or two before, was also recovered,
and an ovcrcoat, taken at the same time,
had been disposed of by the thieves, but
was also found. An album, stolen from 4
lady's residence, was also recovered. 1t is
believed chat the mother and son have been
doing considerable thieving in this city
lately, and are responsible for several
thefts of napkins towels, ana other small
articles easily appropriated The woman
is about - years of age, has the appearance
OF being hard drinker, and latterly has
worn veil 10 conceal black eye.
To Be Inquired INro-Tuesday even
ing man, who gave the name OF Joseph
Lowenza appeared at the station-house
with ms little daughter, bright child, + or
> years of age, and requested lodging. They
were accommodated and are still chartered
there. II has been reported to the authOri-
ties that the man during his stay in the
city has been in the habit of getting drunk
and taking the child around the streets
with him. Last Sunday or Monday night
he was found asleep on the sidewalk with
the little one lying on his breast, They
were aroused and went toa hotel. Lowenza
explains that he came out from Memphis,
Tenn about TWO months ago, and brought
the girl with him, as he thought he might
make up his mind to live here. His wife
is sill in Memphis. The child has been
going about barefooted and yesterday had
4 lame foot in consequence OF splinter
running into it and fostering. The father
will be taken into Court this morning, IN
order that the matter may be inquired into
more fully, with the view OF having the
child properly cared for.
AYExTRA SEssIox.-The report has again
been revived, for the ninety-ninth time
that Governor Stoncman intends to con-
vene the Legislature in extra session in
September next, to consider the irrigation
problem. The last heard Of extra session
SpeculationS was about six months ago
when il was given out semi-otficiallv that
a.
way TO secure il was for majority of each
house Of the Legislature to petition for it
over their own signatures. In this way
there could follow none of the fruitless re
suits ~ the last extra session. as q majority
signing the petition would be honorablv
bound 10 pass the irrigation measures. The
San Francisco Post says that when asked
some months ago whether an extra session.
to deal with the irrigation problem, was
among the probabilities, the Governor very
emphatically said that he had had all the
extra session he wanted. and would never
again call one.
Sror ir.-It is reported that parties are
in the habit of going out and slaughtering
mallard and other wild ducks, which they
can get without much trouble now while
they are caring for their young and bring
ing them 10 town for sale. OF course there
is no law to prevent their doing so, but the
sportsmen Of Sacramento feel that, in con-
sequence of there being no law, they are
on their honor 70 protect, or at least not &c
disturb the birds at this time of the year
and it is to be hoped that there will be q
general frowning down OF the pothunter
work. Certainly there is not much excuse
for the killing rs the ducks are not in fl
condition for the table
