An Old sacramentap uurt

The San Francisco Post of last evening
had the following reference to an accident
which befell a gentleman for many years a
resident OF this city, and who will be re-
membered by all old Sacramentans: JOS
eph w. Winans, of the well-known firm
OF Wlnans d Belknap, attorneys at law, is
confined to his bed and il is feared that he
received serious internal injuries in an ac-
cldent which occurred to him on last Sat
urdav afternoon. Mr.. Winans, with his
wife and son, Joseph w. Winans. Jr.,
drove out from Sausalito in a o-horse
rockaway, with David =. Belknap. who
held the reins, and was showing Mr..
Winans some land. After leaving Sausalito,
and while on steep ridge, not far suit of
town, one of the horses began to balk, and
Mrs Winans and her son managed to lump
out of the vehicle. The horses backed the
carriage about thirty feet down a decliyitv
and there it was overturned Messrs
Winans and Belknap becoming entangled
under the carriage. Mr.. Belkuap escape
unhurt, but his partner suffered SO much
pam that he was moved to a house near by
the scene OF the accident until a convex
ance could be secured to bring him back TO
Sausalito and from thence to his home
at 926 Clay street. 1t has been ascertained
that no bones were broken, but it is feared
that if he sustained internal injuries,
the result will be serious, if not fatal as
Mr.. Winaps is an elderly gentleman, with
hardly the constitution to enable him to
withstand the shock"

COrOuer,s Inuuest.

Coroner Clark held an inquest last even
ing upon the body of ]. B. Saunders, who
was drowned January Doth, and whose body
was recovered last Sunday. No evidence
was adduced showing anything new as re-
garded the drowning Mrs. Saunders, in
her testimony, referring to the revolver
and bottle of strychnine found upon the
person of the deceased, when the body was
recovered, explained that he always car
ried pistol, owing to his living out of
town and frequently having to go home
after dark. The poison he purchased to
Kill rats and mice, but she objected to his
leaving it at home for fear the children
might get hold of it, and he put it in his
pocket temporarily. The jury returned a
verdict of death by drowning, without un-
dertaking to say whether it was accidental
or suicidal.

Metrnnnlitan rheater.

Harrison and Gourlay, two excellent
grotesque comedians, appeared to good
house last night in the low comedy extrav-
aganza, !" skipped by the Light of the
Moon" 1t is quite as absurd as I'VE, Us
& Co" but possesses the merit of real wit,
plot and good acting. Harrison and
Gourlay are excellent mimics, and pos
sessed of an inexhaustible fund of
ready humor. Their support is suffi-
cient, and in two persons is superior.
Miss Wood is the best comedy repre-
sentative of type of English matrons
that has served as text for Dickens and
Cruikshanks. Convers burlesques an Irish
policeman so extravagantly as to remove il
from the offensive list Tonight the CON-
pany appears for the last time here. The
play will be Out of the Frying Pan Into
the Fire" not before presented here. 1t is
said to be more extrayagantly funny" than
the play of last night. 1t is probable that this
will be the last occasion on which the Met
ropolitan will be occupied by company
until after the remodeling of the audi
torium, work upon which will begin in a
few days.

BERKELEY, April "a, 1886
I Um. W. Petrte, Esq, President Board Of Educd-
tioR Sacramento, CdL.-DEAR SIR: As you are
aware, the Faculty of the State University of
California, little over three years ago, decided
that when requested to do so by the Principal of
any High School, where courses of study were
properly arranged, to send committee of the
Faculty to examine such school; and If the
teaching was found to be thorough. and the
classes sufficiently advanced such school on
the recommendation of the Committee of Ex-
animation, should be placed in the rank of
diploma schools. and the graduates of the
school so accepted should be allowed to enter
the Freshman classes of the State University on
the recommendation of the Principal, aoithout
examination.
About three weeks agoI requested the Faculty
OF the University to send a committee to
examine our school. The committee was
Immediately sent up, and at the meet
ing of the Faculty held ON Wednesday
last, on the report of the committee our school
was placed on the list of accepted or di-
ploma schools "a distinction which until this
year, had been enjoyed by only three schools in
the State.
l regret that owing to my absence from Sacra-
mento, cannot submit TO you the official letter
of acceptance, but thought ii better TO acquaint
you of the fact before the regular meeting on
Monday evening, than to have it come to the
knowledge of the Board through the news
papers. Most respectfully yours.

Board of City Trustees.

The Board of City Trustees met in regu-
lar session yesterday morning, all the men,
bers present.
The Board of Health matter was dis
cussed at some length. The City Attorney
said that Dr. Merrill, the last physician
elected, was clearly ineligible-an opinion
in which the Mayor fully concurred. Trus-
tees Jones and Ryan stated that at the time
they voted for DR.. Merrill they supposed he
was eligible; they did not know him per-
Sonally, but thought him all right Trus-
tee RYAN suggested that the ordinances be
so changed that the appointing of Health
Officer would be lett to the Board of Trus-
tees. This seemed to suit Trustee Jones.
but little square, businesS-like talk from
the Mayor rather settled that question and
the matter was dropped. 1t would appear
from the conversation that the Board don't
care much who are the members of the
Board of Health so long as they can make
some political capital out of the appoint
ment of a Health Officer. Sacramento
city is practically without a Board of
Health. The old one has not met for a
month and the new one has not yet organ
lied.
A protest was filed against the improve
ment of Sixth street from X to p and this
will cause its abandonment.
Bids for the sewer work on Seventeenth
street were received from James Touhey.

LIBERATED FROM Prison. = Governor
Stoneman has commuted the sentence of
two conviets, Edward McCabe and John
Wilson, so that their sentences expire i'm
mediately. Both were convicted in San
Francisco of the crime of grand larceny,
both were sentenced to a term of four
wears imprisonment, and both had two
months longer TO serve. The Governors
signature was obtained through influence
brought TO bear by the Board of Prison
Directors. who claim that the men had
both rendered valuable services TO the
State.
Two MEN DRowYED.-A letter from Dep
uty Sheriff McComber, of Folsom, to the
REcoRD-UNIoS says: Word has been re-
ceiyed here that on FRIDAY last two men
were drowned while crossing the American
river on log two miles below Folsom. A
coat. supposed to belong to one of the
parties. was found shortly after the acct
dent by a man from Nebraska. Letters adj
dressed to II. E. McCabe, agent for Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine Co., were found
n the pockets OF the coat.

Severely Hurt.

About 10 O'Clock last night man named
Fisher, who drives for the Capital Brew
cry, appeared at the station house covered
with blood, which was flowing from an in
jury to his head. He wanted an officer to
go with him and arrest the driver of the
City Brewery wagon for an assault with a
deadly weapon, explaining that a short
time before the latter, while visiting at his
house, took liberties with Mrs. Fisher.
Fisher, returning to the room, found his
wife struggling to get away from her as
sailant. Fisher interfered, and was as
saulted by the other man, and cut on the
head with something which he thought
was knife, but an examination of his
scalp by officer Leavy revealed several cuts
which seemed to have been inflicted with
some blunt instrument. During the fight
that ensued, some of Fishers furniture was
smashed, and the other man went off with
piece of his watch chain. Officer Leayy
trimmed the hair from Fishers head. did
him up in sticking plaster and sent him
home, with instructions to return this
morning and get out a warrant. Fisher
was sober, but his antagonist was under the
influence of liquor.

hand to hand fight rather than try this
hazardous strategy. The plan is to lie
still, as if dead. The bumblebee is a
generous foe, and does not care to insult
dead enemy so if boy will lie per-
fectly still he may escape. But as the
bee is generous, so also is he suspicious.
There are legends in the hives and nests
of human bipeds.who have suddenly died
upon the field of battle, and as suddenly
arisen and walked off when the enemy
had retired. Accordingly the bumblebee
wanders cautiously over the face, ears,
head and neck of the apparently lifeless
foe, seeking evidence that life is not yet
extinct, probes the c. rners of the eyes
with feeler, or tickles the tender skin
of the nose with hind-leg. Possibly he
discovers new fields of sensation beneath
wllted collar and explores that region.
The boy who can stand this sort of ex-
animation would be hero in dentists
chair, perhaps but as there are few who
can brave that ordeal without hinching,
so there are few who succeed in passing
the bumblebee' examination when "play-
ing dead"
After all, perhaps the city person is
right, and the bees have all the fun and
the boys all the suffering; so, as the lat
ter are not required by the dictates Of
fine feeling or the laws of good society to
amuse bumblebees at their own expense,
we think they would be wise if they let
bees nests alone during the present sum-
mer.-HGTper S Young People,

Being a Bow.

One of the best things in the world tc
be is boy it requires no experience
though it needs some practice to be g
good one. The disadvantage of the posi-
ton is that it does not last long enough
1t is soon over. Just as you get used to
being boy, you have to be something
else, with a good deal more work to do
and not half so much fun. And yet every
boy is anxious to be man, and is very
uneasy with the restrictions that are put
upon him as boy.
There are so many bright spots in the
life of farm boy that sometimes think
1 should like to live the life over again
l should almost be willing to be girl il
it were not for the chores. There is a
great comfort to boy in the amount Of
work he can get rid of doing. 1t is some.
times astonishing how slow he can go on
an errand. Perhaps he couldn't explain
himself why, when he is sent to neigh
Dor 8 after yeast, he stops to stone the
frogs. He is not exactly cruel, but he
wants to see if he can hit EN-. It is a
curious fact about boys that two will be
a great deal slower in doing anything
than one. Boys have great power of
helping each other do nothing.
But say what you will about the gen
eral usefulness of boys, farm without a
boy would very soon come to grief. He
is always in demand. In the first place
he is to do all the errands, go to the store,
the post-ofice, and to carry all sorts OF
messages. He would like to have as many
legs as wheel has spokes, and rotate
about in the same way. This he some
times tries to do, and people who have
seen him turning cart wheels" along
the side of the road have supposed he
was amusing himself and idling his time.
He was only trying to invent new
mode of locomotiop, so that he could
econom;ze his legs and do his errands
with greater dispatch. Leap.frog is one
of his methods of getting over the ground
quickly. He has natural genius for
combining pleasure with business.
