Grapes from Spain.

We have received from Messrs. Vein
stock & Lubin a sample box of Almeria
grapes, which are imported from the Span
ish coast upon the Mediterranean. These
are the table grapes with which the prod
uct of the California vines are thrown into
competition in New York and other Eastern
markets. They are very similar in shape
to the Corniehan variety, but in color are a
lighter green. As to quality, it is decidedly
inferior to the poorest table grapes grown
in California, and wherever the products of
our vines can be laid down in good con-
dition, beside the Almeria, there will
virtually be no competition, for no one will
for an instant tolerate the Spanish grape
when they can procure those grown in this
State at anywhere near the same price.
There is nothing in their flavor to COM
mend them; they are insipid as compared
to ours, and seem to have but the one de-
sirable duality-that of being good ship
pers. 1t is, however. something of a
novelty to be able to eat grapes upon the
western shore of the Americant continent
that are grown in the semi-tropic climate of
the western shore of the Mediterranean
and which, packed in cork dust, came in
safely over eight thousand miles, and
through the present extremely low tenn
perature of the Eastern States. Had any
one prophesied forty years ago that fresh
fruit would be carried in good condition a
third of the way around the globe, he
would have been pronounced q crank-il
that term had then been in use.

Shocking Accident.

About 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon an
accident, which it is feared may prove fatal,
occurred to S. P. Milligan, brakeman on
freight train No. T. which left this city
Monday evening for the East 1t appears
that the train was about entering a piece of
snowshed between the Summit and
Truckee about seven miles west of the
latter place, and he was walking on top of
an Eastern refrigerator car (which is some
what higher than the freight cars of the
Southern Pacific Company, going toward
the caboose. Moving with his back to the
engine. he did not notice that the train was
so near the shed. Some one called TO him
to look out but almost spontaneously one
of the beams of the shed struck him on the
back of the head, knocking him between
the freight car and the caboose. The latter
ran over his left leg at the ankle, grinding
it to a pulp; his scalp was badly cut,
and the skull, it is feared, fractured
the thumb and forefinger of his left hand
were broken, and he was otherwise in
jured. He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and taken to Truckee but
shortly afterwards was put on board spe-
cial train and started for this city, arriving
about 9:15 last night. DR.. Huntington
went up on the overland to meet him and
superintend his removal to the Railroad
Hospital. 1t was found necessary to am
putate his leg just below the knee, and his
other hurts were then attended to. The
injury to his head is of course the most Sc
rious, as there are indications of compress
sion of the brain. He has been uncon-
scious, except for few minutes at inter
walls, since the accident. Mr.. Milligan has
been on the road, in one capacity or another,
for many years, and mas the friendship of
all with whom he has come in contact
whether railroad men or members of the
travelling public

Fine Orange Trees.

Mrs. Currier, of Folsom, has on her
premises 20 orange trees, the largest and
oldest having been planted IS or IA years
ago, and the others being seedlings from
it. set out as she has had opportunity, and
left to care for themselves, without regard
to frost, irrigation, or anything else. The
parent tree is now a magnificent specimen,
and has upon its limbs over 1000 splendid
oranges. Mrs. Currier informed a Sacra-
mentan who called at her residence last
Sunday, that she intended to send branch
of the tree, with its load of fruit to the
Citrus Fair. She is very enthusiastic over
the climate of the section in which she re-
sides, and says her orange grove would
have reached a better growth if she had
anyone to help her besides my little boy,
there" The Sacramentan saw a tall young
man standing near by, but no child. and
inquired, Where is your little boy?" re-
ceiving answer as the lady pointed to the
tall youth, Why, there he is p The little
fellow is only IA years of age, but is feet
IL inches in hight.

A Great Convenience.

About a year ago man named Tim
Sullivan a farmer of Colusa county, was
in the city for week awaiting the arrival
of his wife, who was coming out from Ire
land to join him after 4 separation of many
wears. During this time they had changed
to such an extent that they did not re-
cognize one another when they met, and
they would probably have made bad lob
of their reunion but for the detective
ability Of Deputy Sheriff Lee, the railroad
company's officer at the depot, who brought
them together in good style. A few days
ago the officer was in Colusa county on
business, and happened to meet Mr.. Sulli-
van. who was glad to see him. In course
ofconversation be remarked, II was think
ing of going down to Sacramento to meet
nv daughter, who came over with her
mother, but has been spending a year in
the East and will be here soon, but you
did so much better than l could the
other time that l guess it will be
better for me to stay at home
and let you look after her when she comes"
Lee agreed to do his best to assist in the
further reunion Of the family. Yesterday
morning he was busily engaged in instruct
ing the arrivals from the East by the South
ern route as to the best way to reach their
destinations, when he met q young lady
who stated that she was on her way to
Colusa county, and seemed somewhat wor-
ried because of her having to change cars,
ETC. Much to her establishment the officer
addressed her in his Sunday tone of voice,
" You must be Miss Sullivan 2'i and when
she admitted that he was not mistaken, she
was soon amused as well as pleased when
she found that he had been delegated TO
take charge of her, and through his assist
ance she was in few minutes on board
the train that would take her to her new
home. Officer Lee is certainly great con-
venience about the depot, and if his sue
cess in reinroducing long-separated people
10 each other continues, delighted public
will insist upon his making the work
snecialty.

The case of John Norton, charged with

twelve days ago, and badly beaten, was
continued until the 18th inst. Barrett,
when the case was called, declined to prose-
cute, but City Attorney Hart insisted upon
cSa doing so. He accused the attorney of
meddling in his (Barrett's) private affairs,
declaring that he was the only person in
terested, and if he was satisfied others
ought to be. Mr. Hart informed him that
the case was being prosecuted to uphold the
majesty of the law, and for the public good,
without regard to the personal feelings of
the principal witness for the defense.

Singular Theft.

John Harris, a recent arrival in the city
from Paradise, reported to the police Mon
day evening about 6 o'clock that he had
been robbed short time previously of $65.
His version of the matter was that he drew
that day about $50 from the hotel where he
was stopping, intending to go up to Folsom
or laceryille with a man with whom he
had been q running during the day, and
whose expenses he was paying. He put
S65 of the money in buckskin purse, and
at the time of the theft he had $40 loose in
his pocket His companion, putting an
arm about his neck, quickly stole the purse
from his pocket united it, poured out the
money, threw the purse down, and man.
aged to make his escape, Harris had been
drinking freely. but was not helplessly
drunk, and it puzzled the police that any
one could commit theft under those cir
eumstances on public street-Harris, not
knowing the streets, could net locate the
place-and get away with the plumber with
out being interfered with.
