Late on Saturday night front wheel of
one of the street cars was broken while at
the switch just above Twelfth street. The
horses got frightened at the humping of the
car, flew the track, and pulled the car off to
the side of the street, where it was abar-
doned for the night
Several members of the delegation to the
Republican State Convention returned yes
terday others having gone on an excursion
to San Diego. Some of those returned say
ii was distressingly hot in Los Angeles last

Sacramento TO cool Oft.
1t is said that regular ring fight took
place at Gait on Saturday night. 1t was TO
have been six-round affair, but it was de-
cided in the first round, one of the COM
batants being so completely knocked out
that he was not able to get ON his pins for
upward of twenty seconds.
About o'clock P. NJ on Saturday, as the
furniture wagon of Charles Campbell was a ]
the San Joaquin boat-landing, at the foot of
n street. receiving freight, the Folsom train
came along and frightened the horse. He
started to run, but was struck by the loco
motive and SO badly injured that he had to
be shot. The wagon was also demolished.
The Amador Sentinel doubts the truth of
the statement that Z. N. Jacobs, of this city
"a travelling agent for B. Muir, a pickle
manufacturer), was robbed by highway
men in that county. The same paper says
that Muir went up there, investigated the
circumstances and discharged Jacobs from
his employ. The latter's explanation of
the affair has not been made.
Charles Starr was brutally assaulted on
Second street, between K and L, after mid
night Oh Saturday, by some drunken
roughs. The young man was badly used,
and complains that an officer was within
sight, but made no attempt to interfere. If
he can substantiate a charge of this kind
before the Police Commissioners, doubtless
the derelict guardian of the peace will have
his case attended to.
Several members of the Odd Fellows
Relief Society, accompanied by members
of their families and intimate friends, about
fifty in all, went on an excursion up the
river yesterday on the steamer Thomas
Dwyer. They returned about o'clock in
the evening and reported having had a
most enjoyable day The Turner Har-
monte accompanied the party and RECALLED
its members with choice vocal music.
Two fishers went up the river a couple OF
miles yesterday morning. They were full
of hopes-if not of hops-and got ready 10
cast their lines for the succulent mudpout
The first to cast had the home end of his
line fastened in the button hole of his fif-
teen-cent coat, and when the cord straight
ened out of course the coat gave way. His
companion threw his line after the lost one
in the hope Of fouling and recovering it
but he failed to keep q grip on his OVID,
and away il went with the other. The I'M
fortunate fishermen looked at one another
mutely, but eXpressively, for a moment.
Then one pointed III the direction of the
dome of the Capitol, which glistened above
the trees, the other nodded, and the pro
cesson started off silently through the
cockle-burr thickets for town, impressed
with the fact that their lines were not cast
in pleasant places.
