Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-06-10

The attorneys for the plaintiffs concluded
it to be unnecessary to argue the matter
further, and will probably take it before
the Supreme Court on appeal i'll due time.
That body may see its way to decision
different from the one already made in
virtually the same case, as it was then de-
cided adversely to the plaintiffs by merely
a majority of the Judges.
NURSERYMEN's CoNvENTIoN.-The tenth
annual meeting of the American Associa-
ton of Nurserymen, Seedmen, etc, which
is to take place at Chicago from the 18th to
the Goth instant, will be the most impor-
tant gathering in the interest of fruit that
has ever been held in the United States
| Representatives from every State in the
Union will be present, and three sessions
will be held each day. A carefully ar
ranged programme of topics for considera-
ton has been duly provided and speakers
selected to present them, with a view to
advancing the best possible information
and ellcltlng an interesting exchange of
views which shall be generally beneficial.
The display of fruits from the various sec
tons OF the United States will be an inter
estlng feature, and one in which California
should show to most excellent advantage
in comparison with other States, especially
50 early in the season. As heretofore
stated, all forwarded from this section of
California will be taken personal care of
by Charles w. Reed, of this city, who is
one of the Vice-Presidents of the Associa-
ton, and will be present at Chicago and
see that our exhibits are most advantage
ously made.
The PosToFFICE LocATED.-The Post
| office Commissioners met yesterday after
noon and considered the various proposals
received for the sale of property for a site
for the proposed Government building.
| The issue was mainly between the Catholic
| Church property northeast corner of Seventh
and X streets, for which $37, 500 was asked,
and the property on the northeast corner
of Third and streets, which included more
ground than the other, and was offered for
S35 500. The Commissioners, believing
| that the latter location was too far down
town, and that the other was not too tar up
town at present, ard would become more
and more suitable as the city grew, decided
| by unanimous vote to recommend to the
authorities at Washington the purchase of
the Seventh and X streets property.
COMMITTED To THE sYLUM. James
Teal, the traveller en- route for Denver from
Los Angeles, who gave evidences of in
| sanity a few days ago, and was taken in
charge by Deputy Sheriff Lee and officer
/ Rider and subsequently sent to the County
Hospital to see whether his condition
would not improve under treatment there.
was yesterday brought back to the city,
! examined by the Commissioners in Lunacy
| and committed to the insane asylum. His
| brother-in-law, Mr.. Niclerson, who came
| up from Los Angeles to see him, stated to
| the physicians that Teal had been suffer-
| ing from brain trouble for several years,
and latterly has been growing worse rapidly.
The disease is hereditary, and it is not be-
! lieved to be probable that his condition will
ever permanently improve.
ALLEN SPRINGS. - This favorite and
charming summer retreat, in one of the
most picturesque and lovely canyons in
! Lake county, is now open to the travelling
public. The grounds are well drained and
an excellent trout stream furnishes rare
| sport for the angler. The house has been
| entirely renovated, refitted and refurnished.
The springs are soda, chalybeate and white
sulphur and are famous for their superior
medicinal qualities. The new proprietor,
| William Basler, has spared neither pains
nor expense to make this summer resort a
pleasant home for invalids. In going to
, the springs you 90 by rail 10 Williams,
thence forty miles by stage, which runs

ALTOGETHER A Observation-Disclosures was
made in the RECORD UNION few days ago
to the fact that lady named Mrs. Stein
miller had been reported to the police as
| being insane, and that she would probably
| be taken before the Commissioners for ex-
animation. It appears that those who
communicated with the police on the sub
| ject, though meaning well, were altogether
mistaken. Mrs Steinmiller is not and has
not been insane. She is a woman of nerv-
GUS temperament and quick temper which
led her one day to do things in her excite
ment, caused by worry and provocation,
that were thought by her neighbors to be
strange.

was ascertained TO be the body of Andrew
Martin who walked off the steamer Varuna
at the foot of \ street on Friday last The
jury brought in a verdict of accidental
| drowning. Deceased was native of Ire
! land and 80 years Of age.
