Grove.
In the Harlan case at Woodland yester-
day nine jurors were examined and all

be exhausted to-day.
The highest and lowest Signal Service

in Sacramento was $50 and $40, and so
and 81 with fresh to brisk southerly winds

Chief of Police Dillman arrested yester-
day young man named VIM. Mayer, for

There are ON exhibition in the Mechanics
Store window two vases which are said to
be the counterparts, in form and color, of
the celebrated $4,000 Morgan vase, of
japanese manufac. ure, 300 years old. Peo-
pie look at the representative vases and
express their establishment in words that
have a great many astonishers after
them.
The river is falling little daily, but not
fast enough to be thoroughly satisfactory
to the carpenters working on the steamer
San Joaquin, No. 3, which is lying on the
marine ways in Washington with one side,
from which several planks have been re-
moved, so close to the water that the men
cannot work upon her, and her repairs are
being delayed.
1t scarcely seems possible that the East
ern excursionists who were here Wednes
day night could have spent two weeks in
San Francisco. Some of them wanted
Sacramento hackmen to take them to the
Capitol grounds for ten cents each, from
the depot and others wanted to charter
hacks to take them about town at seventy
five cents per hour. Those are not exactly
San Francisco rates
The Western Union Telegraph Company
has established the maximum day rate for
ten words, to any Western Union Office in
the State of California, at 80 cents, and rates
in excess of such amount are ordered cut
down to it. In some instances this makes
a reduction of SO per cent The night rate
is correspondingly reduced. The cable rate
to England has also been reduced from 90
cents per word to "a cents. The maximum
day rate to any point in the East remains
as before-S1 for ten words or less.
