The City Bond Controversy.

EDS. RECORD UNION: The old Funded
Debt Commission man gets awful mad
from the fact that his indicate position
has led the community to believe that, like
the old lawyer, he has been supporting the
family from the drippings of his manage
ment of the Commission for the last four
teen years, and, instead of acknowledging
the fact, avoids telling the public how
much has come into the Golfers of the
Beatty family by the fact of his being able
to employ and post them upon the manip-
ulation of the Commission. He wakes
awful wrathy at being suspected.
Now, does it not look strange that he &C.
companied the Trustees and made the COM
promise by which, as he acknowledges the
bondholders in the secret floated their
coupons on innocent and uninformed PAL
ties? Why didn't he go and telegraph the
CITY Treasurer of the transaction? One of
the parties that was bilked and imposed
upon took the precaution, before he bought
these outlawed coupons, to telegraph the
City Treasurer, and received answer that
they would be paid as usual.
Now, this old Judge who has practiced
before able jurists composed of his uncles,
aunts, nieces and nephews, twisting and
turning the law so as TO seemingly make
wrong appear right, certainly knew enough
to anticipate the consequences of this COM
promise, and the benefits that would accrue
to those present with him and in the secret,
by imposing on the unwary and innocent
buyers. If he had been the innocent hon
est person he assumes TO be, he would GER
tainly have made an effort to protect
parties from being swindled by those i'll
the secret. His last effort proves every
thing | have heretofore asserted to be
strictly true. For instance, he acknowl-
edges the debt due in 1872 to be 100000
and the Hopper affidavit, he refers to and
the letters, are exactly as | stated. My cal
culation and assertion, then, being by him
acknowledged to be true, it only remains
in order to close this controversy, for the
old Ju lge to inform the public how much
the family have made, and that the debt in
1872 was 100000, worth about 80 cents
on the dollar, and that at present after the
city and the Commission has worked at it
fourteen years, it is 81, 500 900, worth about
20 cents, showing it has been reduced in
amount $4,000 and increased in value
about 100000. Let him abandon his de-
ceptive figuring in the millions, to deceive
and cover up the real matter. The public
wish to know how much it has taken to
support the Beatty family for the last four
teen years, and the exact amount of that
sum they have made by fees and specula-
tons on account of his position as manager
of the Fund Commission. 10. BROWN.

Officers Sullivan and Mccormack have
arrested one An Tit for the theft of bunch
of brooms, taken from in front of Kings
store, at Second and ] streets, a few days
ago. 1t appears that the prisoner-who is
supposed to have acquired his name while
employed about adairy-appropriated the
brooms stepped into the store and en-
deayored to sell them to the proprietor.
The latter didn't want to buy, aud the gen.
tleman with the lacteal cognomen walked
off with the plumber. A similar game was
worked, some years ago, upon liquor
merchant, and with better success. The
said merchant advertised for large pur-
chase of bottles, of which he already had
considerable stock in the yard back of the
store. A circus had come to town, and an
enterprising urchin hit upon a grand
scheme by which to raise the necessary
funds to gain admittance for himself and
the gang of his alley. He accordingly
went into the merchants yard, got couple
of dozen bottles, took them around 10 the
front and sold them at the usual market
price. He said he had several dozen more
at home, and the merchant told him to
fetch them along, and in the meantime to
deposit the present lot in the yard. The
lad took them out, passed them through
the fence to q comrade, and half an hour
later stepped in and sold the same bottles
to the merchant. This operation was re-
peated until the latter had paid two or
or three times over for his stock of bottles,
and ceased only when he had come to the
conclusion that he was sufficiently sup
piled. He did not discover the swindle
until the next day. That boy is now a
professional sculler in the East, and good

on THE DIAMOND.
The Home Club Wins Hot Game from
the Pioneers.


The game between the Alta Baseball
Club, of this city, and the Pioneers, of San
Francisco, at Agricultural Park, drew one
of the largest audiences of the season.
Scores of ladies were among the spectators,
and lines of vehicles nearly encircled the
space allotted to the players. The fact that
Sweeney, the well-known California player,
who lately returned from ST. Louis. where
he had been under engagement with the
Maroons, was to pitch for the Atlas, doubt
less did much toward stimulating public
interest in the game. Although suffering
of late from an injury to his arm, Sweeney
played a good game, his pitching giving
general satisfaction. The ground had been
considerably cut up by the army of circus
wagons which occupied it on the preceding
day and night, and although its condition
was considerably improved by scraping and
rolling, still it was soft in places, 10 which
fact may be largely attributed such errors
as were made. The Pioneers were first at
the bat, and yielded to their opponents
without having scored run. In the Atlas
first inning, Mclaughlin. Sweeney, Robert
son and Ahern made brilliant double
play, which drew from the spectators rounds
of applause. In the second inning
Hayes made first on Meaghers error, went
to second ON a passed ball, and scored
on Buckley's base hit. From this time
until the sixth, when Caveny made three
base hit and scored on Hayes single, the
visitors failed to add another to their score.
In the third inning, Ahern, of the home
club, made base hit, stole second and
scored on Sweeneys hit. This was the
only run made by the Atlas up to the ninth
inning. Great interest centered in the re-
suit of this inning. The Pioneers failed to
score, and the Atlas went TO the bat strong
with hope Robertson went to first on
balls, and Mclaughlin succeeded him at
the bat The latter made a magnificent
strike on a swift ball from McMullin, send
ing the sphere so far to right field that
Robertson made the tour ofthebags, followed
by the gallant Mclaughlin himself, who
scored home run. This brilliant play by
Mclaughlin won the game to the home
club, and set the spectators wild with en-
thusiasm Friends of Mclaughlin became
so demonstrative in their exuberance of
spirit that they picked him up bodily and
carried him off the field. The game was
well played throughout. and passed of
with little or no friction between the con-
testing players. Following is the score:

Chance for a Colony.

That several of the large land holdings
in this county will be subdivided for col
onization is now an assured fact. The Gait
Gazette says; Judge Ferris is authorized to
sell 1900 acres of choice real estate for
colonization purposes. This land lies near
Gait and is in two counties-Sacrament
and San joaquin. The object is to sell it
in tracts of 5000 acres or over, and we re-
gard it an excellent opportunity for some
syndicate to make the purchase and divide
the tract into small lots of twenty or forty
acres, for the benefit Of industrious home
seekers. This is an enterprise that is cal
culated to enhance Gait property and make
it fiourishing town. Our local capitalists
could all become public benefactors by
lending assistance to this scheme, and we
hope they will consider the matter care
fully and conclude to take some interest
in it.

He Cor HERE JUST THE SAME.-C. p.
Dovper, a man who has well-nigh reached
the allotted four-score years of human life,
arrived in this city on Saturday, having. as
he claims, walked all the way from Port
land, Me-, since the 18th day of June last.
He says he has travelled on foot in that
time $3.50 miles. In order to do this he
would have had 10 average 65 miles per day
over mountains and burning deserts, which
seems to be quite an impossibility for a
man of Downer's age, and especially as he
says he came along leisurely and did not
hurry. The undertaking is said 10 have
been the result of wager of s., 900, laid in
New York, against the transcontinental
pedestrian record being broken. Downer
says he ms a competitor trudging along
twelve d.ys behind him.
PoLIcf; CoURT.-There were but few cases
before the Police Court on Saturday. c..
Judson, abucoic gentleman who had fallen
by the wayside from the effects of some
thing ne had lmbibed, was allowed to de-
part and look after the garnering of his
crops.. The case of John Fox against
whom there is a charge of assault with q
deadly Weapon, was continued till to-mor-
row TIE battery case of Louisa Blanca
was put 3rer until to-day. $500. Lou Gait, who
strove tc knock out officer Sullivan with a
stone, during the late Chinatown riot, but
failed TO get in his work, was allowed to go
on payment of small fine. The charge
of assault to murder. brought against Rob-
ert Miller by H. A. Caulfeld, was dismissed.
G. H. GILMAN has purchased the entire
stock of boots and shoes owned by Thomas
Harper, and removed them to the Red
House, 'shere they will be sold at a special
sale, commencing this morning. Great
bargains are promised. Those who may
require footwear will do well to call and
examined these goods. 1t is the intention
of the proprietor to continue the sale until
the entire line is disposed of.

THE c1Rcus.-selIs Brothers circus and

THE CIRcUs.-Sells Brothers circus and
menagerie exhibited here Saturday. The
collection of animals is very good and
large. OF elephants and came;s there is an
unusually large number, and the hippo
potami are especially fine exhibits. The
circus is full of variety. The riding is not
superior, nor is there much of it. But what
is lacking in this direction is compensated
for by fine and long variety performance
of excellent acrobatic character, fine ath-
letic exercises, remarkable feats of contor-
ton and strength and bicycle riding, rope
and wire walking, balancing, leaping, etc,
supplemented by the best exhibition of
trained dogs seen here for very long time,
and certainly the best performance by q
trained elephant ever given on the coast.
The street parade was good and the orches-
tral music under the canvas especially fine.
As whole it was good variety show, and
certainly very large company.

Joaquin, No. 4, from San Francisco, with

RATHER IsPRoBABLE.-TheY olo Mail is
authority for the statement that week ago
" the express messenger on board the San
Francisco train, arriving at Davisville at
1880 A. NJ, forgot the northern treasure-box
until after the train pulled out of the sta
ton. Then discovering the omission, he
threw the box out on the roadside and tele-
graphed the agent at Davisyille on his arri-
val at Sacramento. The box contained
10000" 1t is quite probable there has
been a mistake made, and that the Mad has
been misinformed The thing doesn't
seem at all reasonable.
HELD FOR ARsoN.-Henry Weber, the
young man suspected of having caused the
fire which recently devastated so large q
portion of the town of Folsom, was ex-
amined before Justice Anderson, of that
place, on Saturday afternoon, and held for
trial before the Superior Court. He was
brought to the city yesterday and placed in

Gaming at the Capitol.

On Saturday William Tormey, the jani-
tor of the State Capitol, was caned by those
in the employ of the State working under
his direction. The cane, fine ebony
stick, gold mounted and appropriately en-
graved, was presented on behalf of the
donors, by Martin Steinmetz in appropriate
remarks. 1t was quite a relief to these
present to listen to the eloquent remarks
of Mr.. Steinmetz, who spoke to the point,
after listening to the meaningless and
sophistical speeches of Legislators for the
past three weeks. The present was ap-
propriate and merited. During his in
cumbency Mr. Tormey, by his kind and
gentlemanly demeanor toward all, not only
has won the regard Of those under him,
but also that of all the State officials, and
the public as well. Mr.. Tormey. who was
wholly taken by surprise, responded in ap-
propriate remarks, and said he should ever
keep the present and value it as memento
of esteem and regard on the part of the
donors AT the conclusion banquet was
spread in room Is, and volunteer toasts
and speeches were interrupted by the pop
ping of champagne corks. Colonel Tobin,
John Eagan, John Cravens, w. c. Smith
aud others made speeches.
