MAILING LIES.
The Pitiful and Weak Boistering of a
Defiant Official Exposed.

The Pitiful and Weak Bolstering of a
Defiant Official Expo-ed.
A pitifully weak and absurdly amusing
and new defense has been advanced for the
State Treasurer's stupid contumacy in re-
fusing to permit the school book warehouse
to be erected. Driven from every hole into
which his defenders have retreated, the
Treasurer's a1vocate-from whom he
should pray to be delivered-now advances
the excuse that the law required the ware
house TO be erected on or before July /
1887, and that date having passed, the
building could not now be erected, even
If the Treasurer should approve the
plans, since the Controller would refuse
to draw warrant against a lapsed fund.
The ignorance and blind malice of the ad-
vocate of the Treasurer are exposed by re-
calling the fact, published at the time that
the Controller and the Attorney General
both held before July 1st, 1887, that the ap-
preparation would not lapse, since the
words fixing the date are directory, not
mandatory. Mr.. Dunn's name has been
used by the advocate of stubbornness in this
matter unauthorizedly, since that gentle
man himself communicated his decision
as stated, to the RECORD UNION, which ac-
II. MOiepNeT. as u
matter of fact, the fund has not been en-
tered as lapsed, and the Controller, under
his decision, would to-day draw against it,
as in duty bound on a claim properly pre-
sented and approved. The duplicity of the
advocate of the Treasurer is thus exposed
since at the time of the decision of the Con-
troller it itself was aware of it, and we be-
lieve its files will show that it also pub
lished the fact. The OLD defense is trOtted
out that Governor Bartlett told Printer
Shoaf that ne would not approve the plans
for the building. If he ever said so, il
must have been in reference to plans spe-
ciically end i'll themselves Objectionable,
for Governor Bartlett approved the law
directing the erection of the building and
was not the man TO set himself up TO defeat
law enacted and by himself approved.
Moreover, to more than one person be ad-
vised the policy out of which the law
originated, a fact that can be testified to by
gentlemen then connected with the print
ing department the legislature and the
department of education. That, however,
cuts no figure in the case, since the Cover
nor OF the State has approved the plans, as
also the Secretary of State, and the Treas
urer alone enjoys the distinction of usurping
the functions of the legislative branch of the
government. The mendacious assertion that
the RECORD u NIoN's recital of Mr.. Herold's
defiant course is actuated by mercenary
considerations is too contemptible for
notice, and that pitiful assault will not
serve the purpose of withdrawing public
attention from the damning facts in the
case.

halted until next morning when it again
resumed its weary journey, reaching the
upper end of Bear valley, distance OF
tWenty-three miles, at 2;30 o'clock P. NJ,
and there camped for the night. This
days march was by far the severest of any
the road being exceedingly rough, and
many OF the members were very lame and
footsore. Next morning the company
marched to the Central House, distance
of sixteen miles, and this morning to Ne
yada City, distance of ten miles, arriving
at $50 O'Clock A. NJ.
Thus ends the first marching encamp-
meDt of Company G. 1t was absent on the

miles ia eleven days and feels proud of its
record. Its officers and members feel that
this trip has been of inestimable benefit to

has had military experience it could have
gained in no other way, and they hope that
ali other companies of the N G.. c. may
follow its example. SECRETARY.

AGRICULTURAL PARK.
Preparations for the Best State Fair Ever
Held Here.


a visit to Agricultural Park any morning
will convince person that the coming
State Fair is going to be the finest ever held
in this city. There is an unusually large
number of speedy horses in training and 8
goodly crowd is present every morning
watching their exercise and gaining points
to be used in the coming speed trials. The
great improvements in the buildings will
make attendances upon the races much
more pleasant, and the immense crowds oi
people who will be present will be able tG
! retain their seats and see every movement
on the track
The new cottage stable, built under the
direction OF Secretary smith, for Mayor
l.. Z. Shippee, of Stockton, is the best
structure of the kind in the city. 1t is
l25x25 feet in size. and contains twenty
box stalls, half OF which have earth and
the other half plank floors. The barn has
perfect ventilation and the smallest details
of comfort and convenience have been at
tended to. The stalls are all lined with
sugar-pine, the only lumber that horses
will not bite, and are so arranged that a
horse turned loose in one of them cannot
injure himself. Mr.. Shippee is having his
racers trained here and his trotters at
Stockton, but will bring the latter here be-
fore Fair time. His enterprise has added
handsome building to the park, and he
did a wise thing in giving Mr.. Smith carte
blanche in its construction.

Concluded

Concluded.
In the Police Court yesterday coucl u.
sion was finally reached in the cases oil
Mercedes Ramiez and Whanna Euandes
two Spanish women, who reside in the
classic precincts of L street, and who had
each other arrested on counter charges OF
disturbing the peace. Nearly two days
were occupied in hearing the most unsav-
CRY evidence. broken occasionally by
sclntillations of forensic genius from OPP
posing counsel, Messrs. T.. c. Hart and 1.
S. Brown. The latter was defending Mer-
cedes and the former Whanna, placing each
Of the lawyers in a position of prosecuting
the Others client. Up 10 the time the last
witness xss sworn, holding the scales OF
justice perfectly level, as tney are always
held by Judge Buckley, they were exactly
balanced, and the Court had about made
up his mind that both were equally guilty,
but the veteran attorney brought out Il
dark horse IN the shape of a disinterested
witness, who testified that Whanna was the
ageressor and that Mercedes was abused
The result was that Whanna was con.
yicted and had TO pay fine of 50, while
Mercedes was discharged.
Leroy Fisher put up another 81 80 for
his last drunk, and W. J. Height forfeited

OF the Work Now Under Way.

New and Extensive ImprOyem ents-Some
OF the Work Now Under Way.
The largest workshops on the continent
west of the Mississippi river are those of
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, in
this city. Here all the work for the South
ern Pacific Company ard their leased lines
is done, and almost every article they use
from q locomotive to a cold chisel-is man
ufactured From two little repair shops,
established years ago on the edge of China
slough, employing couple of hundred
men, 1t has grown 10 an immense manu-
featuring establishment. covering many
acres and employing 200 nea. To-day
the shops are so crowded that several hun
dred men are working on new work out of
doors. Several of the shops are being en-
larged and new ones erected, so that when
the rainy season comes the 200 laborers
and at least 800 more, will be employed
under cover. To describe the work in
either of the many departments would be
a herculean task. Here every machine
known to mechanism, every labor saving
device Is employed, and work is driven day
and night. In order to be enabled to do
effective work at night, the shops are
lighted with electricity. Owing to the dry
ness Of the climate the cars constructed
in Sacramento are more durable than
those manufactured at any other point on
the continent, and the shops are never shut
down Oh account of the weather, but are
run TO their fullest capacity every day in
the year, with the exceptions of SUNDAYS.
The shops have been extended so far that
all the available space north of China
slough is covered, and no doubt at no dis
tant day the latter will be filled in and
utilized in the same manner.
A large number of new locomotives are
being built at present, and the immense
foundry, with its several hundred elm
ployes, finds it difficult to keep pace with
the demand for wheels and other castings.
Il is rush, push, crowd and jam in every
department, and still the shops are unable
to supply all the demands for rolling stock
and material. In the Car line, the follow
ing are being constructed: Twenty-eight
tourist sleepeTs, fifteen caboose, twelve
baggage and ninety-two fruit cars The
demand for the latter is constantly increas-
ing. A visit to the lumber yards north oil
the shops yesterday found the men en-
gagged in piiing lumber twenty feet high
In addition TO the brick shops now under
construction, q new three story brick office
is TO be erected. Under the present ar
rangement the clerks-a force of twenty
eight-are scattered throughout the several
departments
