About Ginghams.

There has been great Improvement in
designs of Dress Gingbams within ten years,
more SO, perhaps, thar il any othcr line Of
wash fabrics Previous to the above date the
styles were cassed as staples and fancies the
former consisting of small checks in blue,
green and brown, alternating with white, the
iancies simply an increase in the size of the
checks. with a few additional coorings Lat
terly, however, there has been great change,
and the march forward has been SO great that
Dress Ginghams Of home manufacture have
almost driven from the market those of foreign
make, and in regard to style, finish and quality
they are not excelled by the fabrics produced
abroad. The styles for the present Spring
season denote the same spirit of progress The
colorings rule are darker and more SUBJ
stantial than heretofore, and the shades which
are most popular are combinations of navy
blue, various shades of brown, wine, gold and
mode colorings, with here and there a shading
OF dark green. The large, square blocks Of
white, in combination with various colors, are
baSSe, as the white has given place to cream
ecru and other delicate shades in the check
grounds.

EDS RECORD UNION: Having read in
your paper of the 9th the action of some o.
your citizens in relation to the establish
ing of one or more colonies in Sacramento
county, permit me the liberty of Offering a
few suggestions in connection with this de-
sirable work. For some months the Trustees
of Sacramento city have had before them
the proposition of the Blue Lake Water
Company, to furnish the city with an
abundant supply of pure clear water The
presumption is that III addition 10 furnish
ing all 1t needs, there can be large surplus
which can be used for irrigation on the
lands along the line Of waterway. If their
estimate of water supply is correct, it seems
that some point ION the line of this aque-
duct would be one of the best locations for
a colony in this county. provided the water
is brought to the city from Blue Lakes.
The country through which the line of the
proposed waterway would pass is open,
rolling upland, with many desirable build
ing spots. If water could be had in suf-
ficient quantity for irrigating orchards and
vineyards, the lands lying along the pro-
posed line are sufficiently elevated to be
exempt from the early and late frosts which
are so destructive at times in the adjacent
valleys. Vegetation on this land starts in the
fall from two to three weeks earlier than in
the valley, making it peculiarly adapted TO
the production of early fruits and yege-
tables, as well as all semi-tropical fruits
and plants. These lands can be purchased
Oh very reasonable terms they are Access
sible at all times, the climate is as good and
healthy as any in the State, while their
nearness to the city and the great trans
portation lines should make them very de-
sirable for the home-seeker and colonist.

predictions of a cleanup, but this storm
battles the oldest prognosticator AT P.

(only % of an inch having fallen to that

in earnest, holding up just at sunset to
show us most beautiful rainbow The
sun went down clear, and soon after the
wind, which has been in the south for two
days, suddenly hauled to east, the rain
came down in torrents, and at 7:45 thun-

storm. Forty-seven one-hundredths of an

for the storm, which began on the Sth. to

Laid Away in the Tomb.

All that was mortal of Oliver C. Jackson
was yesterday consigned to a grave in
Helvetia Cemetery, beside his first wife,
who died several years ago. Deceased,
owing to his many sterling qualities as a
man, and his devotion to friends, had en-
deared himself to many, who testified to
their deep regret and sorrow at the sad and
untimely ending of life so full of promise.
by attending the last sad rites that are
inevitable will come to all sooner or
later. The funeral was one of the
largest that has been seen in this
city for years, testified to the popu-
larity of the deceased, and evidenced the
extent of the circle of his intimate friends
Services were held in Red Mems Hall,
which were conducted by Rev. W. C.
Merrill. A choir composed of Miss Carter,
Mrs. Ross, III. w. Carroll and A Sanborn,
with Mrs. Pinkham as organist, rendered
appropriate music. The funeral procession,
which marched out J street to the ceme-
terry. was led by the Hussar band, followed
by the following Orders, of which deceased
was member, in the order named Sac
ramento Turn Verein, Exempt Firemen,
Industrial Lodge, l. o. Q. F., Owosso
Tribe, No. 80, l. o. r. NJ. Some thirty
hacks and forty buggies followed the
hearse. making procession several blocks
in length. City and county officers, mem
bers of the police force and of the Sacra-
mento bar were in the procession. Nearly
every vehicle contained bouquets and
floral pieces, which, when placed on the
new-made grave, completely covered it,
transferring the cold and notwithstanding
mound intoa beautiful mountain of flowers
arranged in the form of hearts, harps
crosses, stars and anchors, all testimonials
of love from those whose memory of ever
genial, overture, ever-energetic o. c. Jack

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,



special meeting of the Board of Civ
Trustees was held last evening, all the
members present.
at the meeting last Monday, when the
bids for constructing a sewer on Seven
teenth street, between | and r, were opened
1t was found that the lowest did not have
any signature. The absence of the bidders
name was evidently an oversight. as the
bid was accompanied by forfeit of 500.
George Murray. who was present at the
opening of the proposals, identified the I'M
signed BID as his. James H. Tuobev-
owner of the next lowest bid, objected to
the other being considered, claiming that.
as 1t was not in proper form, it was not
legal The Board concluded TO refer the
matter to City Attorney Hart, who last
evening gave it as his opinion that under
the circumstances, if the Board should
award the contract to Mr.. Murray, and Mr..
Iuohey should take legal proceedings in
the premises, 1t was quite probable that the
action of the Board would be sustained by
the Courts. He suggested however, that it
would be better, as avoiding a possible law
suit, for the Board to readvertise for pro-
posalS.
After consideration of the matter, the
Board decided to lay the whole subject over
until its next meeting, which viii be held
next Tuesday morning instead of Mon
day, as on the latter day one of the men,
bers cannot be present.
City Attorney Hart then submitted the
following report, terrifying it by quotations
from the codes and authorities, in the mat
ter of Justice Henley:
