Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1886-06-15

y gentleman VINO returned from Inc
lower Sacramento yesterday reports that
the high wind of Saturday played havoc
with the fruit m that section, great num-
bers Of peaches, prunes, apricOts, etc. being
shaken from the trees. The fruit crop had
promised but poorly before this, and con-
sequently the result of the gale added to
the disgust Of the growers. The San Jose
scale has attacked the fruit trees of all
kinds in that neighborhood, and in some
instances the pest is in such immense num-
bers that it will be almost impossible to
save the trees. Dwight HOLSTERS apple
orchard is virtually g0ne-the presence of
the sc3le-bug can be observed by the pc
culiar smell when one passes through it
and he viii probably cut the trees down,
but Will make determined effort TO save
his pears. The apFicots have not amounted
to much this season, being very small,
few il a hill, and apt to drop from the
tree if looked at severely. The potatoes
do not look well, either, and as a whole it
is decidedly " off year" for the lower
river.
THE LATE JUDGE CRoss.-Judges McFar-
land and Van Fleet sat in bank yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the Sacramento
bar, called to take action relative to the
After appropriate remarks by some of those
present, W. a. Anderson moved that the
Courts adjourn in honor of the memory of
deceased, and that committee of five be
appointed upon resolutions, and that their
report be presented to the Court and COPY
forwarded to the family of deceased. The
Court appointed the following rs such COM
mittee: w A. Anderson, A. P. Catlin, S.
G.. benson, Henry Starr and John Heard,
L.
of /. s. Taylor it was resolved that the
members of the bar meet in the Court
room at $50 this afternoon, TO attend the
funeral in a body. The funeral will take
place from the Congregational Church at
O'Clock.
TOOK THE HIXT.-Shortly after midnight
on Saturday, Fred We'll, who resides at
Twelfth and P streets, heard commotion
among his poultry, and on going to rear
window to investigate, saw man on the
root of his neighbours hennery, apparently
making Reconnaissance preparatory to at
tempting a burglary. Mr.. We'll had in
cautiously lighted the gas, however, seeing
which the would be burglar slid down from
the roof and escaped in time to avoid being
made q target for pistol practice. In conse-
Quence of the almost total lack Of police
protection in that portion of the city, the
residents of that neighborhood are dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of increasing their
taxes By employing Il special Waterman. 1t
is thought that little difficulty would be
had in securing the necessary number of
subscribers.
PoLIcE CouRT.-In the Police Court. yes
terday, the case of Bridget Ryan, for dis
turbing the peace, was continued until the
fNio.r,
mon dYunkard, was sentenced to ninety
DAYS in the County Jail. For several years
ne has spent much more time behind the
bars than in front of them. .....John Smith,
for having been drunk, was sent below for
twenty-four hours. ohm Smith, another
drunk, was let off with fine of Sl......Ah
Wo, All Sun and All Yu were fined s. each
for violating the cubic-air law. William
Anderson, p. Donovan and James Mitchell
were convicted of vagrancy and sent to the
County Jail for five days each.
GREAT PuB11o CONVENIENCE is
perhaps no enc thing in Sacramento that
has caused as much profanity expressed
or impliei-as the tact that the place for
mailing letters at the Postoflice was nearly
half, a block away from the delivery pOr-
ton of the office. Postmaster Stephens, in
the interest of good morals and the public
convenience, has had drop boxes Tor re-
ceiving letters and papers in most con-
yenient location in the lobby of the gen.
eraI Office and for which the public owes
him a debt of gratitude of such proper
tons as to be hardly payable
