Mr.. O'Neill plays, it is said, has spent a
large sum in stage fittings for Monte
Crlsto, which are transported in great
quantity with the company. O'Neill
played IN this city as leading man of the
Hooley Company, some twelve or thirteen
years ago,and ran the longest engagement
some seven weekssince the days of Proctor.
Since his appearance then there has never
been so long or so successful a dramatic
engagement here, excepting as the latter
clause, only the brief appearance of Edwin
Booth. O'Neill has become widely known
as a leading dramatic light, and still
rising genius. The San Francisco press
are unanimous in his praise, and of his
support speak warmly, agreeing that it is of
notable strength and evenness of ability.

Another Temperance Iectrr.

correspondent writing from Gait says :
The train that left Sacramento at 5 p. NJ.
Tuesday ran over and killed a man about
two miles south of here The notices here
tofore published gave none of the partic-
ulars. At the time of the unfortunate acct
dent it was quite dark, and the individual
was not discovered until the locomotive
was almost upon him. The engineer SAYS
the man was lying upon the track with his
feet toward the engine. The train was
stopped with all the speed possible, but not
until the unfortunate individual had been
dragged some eighty yards His remains
were sickening sight to behold. His
head was cut of, as was also his legs and
arms. He was shockingly mutilated, ex-
cept IN the face. The back of his head was
split open cross-ways from ear to ear. The
accident occurred just across Dry creek in
San Joaquin county. The Coroner came
up from Stockton on the next train, the
fragments were gathered into box and
brought to Gait about II o'clock that night,
and the next morning they were taken to
Stockton for inIerment. Deceased was not
identified as to name, but was seen about
Gait during the afternoon and left town
pretty full. 1t is supposed he fell asleep
upon the track. He had a stubby, black
mustache and apparently had not been
shaved for q month.

Death of Fred IL. Houston.

Fred 5. Houston, young man well
known in this community, died at Court
land Wednesday evening, after brief i'll
ness, of measles and pneumonia. Fred,
as he was Familiarity called, was raised IN
this county, and it is safe to say that no
young man was more popular or had more
friends. He was genial, full of life fun
and sentiment, had kind and pleasant
word for every one; full of business; a
bundle of nerves and energy. For four
years he was office deputy under his father,
while the latter was Assessor of this county.
He was one of the first to take hold of the
n. S. G. w. Order, and assisted in building
up the first parlor of that Order in this city,
of which he was afterwards President. He
also was one of the charter members of
CORTLAND Parlor, and its President at the
time of his death. He also was member
of Concord Lodge, No. III, F. and A. NJ,
of this city. The news of his death was
received with great surprise in this city, as
his illness was quite brief, he having been
q visitor to Sacramento during the holidays
and in his usual health. The remains will
arrive from CORTLAND on the steamer to-
day. They Will be met by delegations
from the Native Sons Parlors in this city
and escorted to Changers Hall at P. NJ ,
where they will lie i'll state until tomorrow
morning, when they will be shipped by
train TO Folsom. From there they will be
conveyed TO Mormon Island, the scene of
his childhood, where they will be inferred
in the family plat.

wards his prosecutors and weakly answered.
Not guilty" The Jury being waived on
both sides, the case was about to continue.
when Judge Buckley said he wished to
make remark. He said that he did not
feel that he could try the case fairly and
lmpartlally as from the trial which was
heard few days ago, he had formed a
somewhat decided opinion that the CHARGE
OF disturbing the peace could be sustained
against Mr.. Caultield, although he had ac-
quilted the defendant of assault with a
deadly weapon.
Mr.. Caulheld, i'll a mild tone. remarked
lhat II that was the case he wanted to be
tried in some other Court, where he could
get twelve decent men to act as Jurors. He
SAID 1t was the twelfth suit which had been

PENDANT requested.

by the President, DR.. F. NJ. Shields. The
first matter considered by the Association
was the project of bricking ND what is
known as the Y and Thirty. frst-street
canal. The committee appointed at the
last meeting made report by introducing
the following preamble, which was adopted
as the sense of the organization. 1t was
decided TO circulate the document. secure
signatures thereto and then present it to
the Board OF Supervisors at their next
session
To The Honorable Board of Supervisors: We wish
70 call your attention to the condition of the
drainage canal upon Thirty first and Y streets
OF Inc city OF Sacramento. The canal acts as a
Drain Tor ali that portion of the county living
between the north and east levees. the Sacra

slue as well as inside the city limits, use il as
receptacle for their cesspools and vaults The
stench arising from the canal is intolerable and
u has already been the means of hsstening the
ueath OF one estimable lady, and the cause of
the sickness of a great many others living in
the vicinity can be traced to it. In its present
Ioul eondltlon, no better trap could exist for
breeding the germs of cholera and unless
abated, 1t Will breed disease the coming sum

its immediate vicinity "
We being large contributors toward the county

the county than the city-that your honorable

earth In its present condition it is a disgrace,
and menaces the health of every one in this
city, and your petitioners hope your honorable

II is understood that if the Supervisors
will bear part of the expense the city
will cooperate with them in doing what
is asked.

A Case of Petit Larceny.

Tuesday evening Marshal j. A Maben
of Marysville, wrote to Chief Dillman, of
this city, requesting him to be on the look
out for two young men who had stolen
from store in that city two
pairs of Mexican sheepskin leg
gings, valued at $50 Officer Able,
although he had no knowledge of the theft,
happened to be passing down X street, be-
tween Front and Second, when he saw two
men trying to dispose of one pair of leg
gings, which, having the appearance of
being new, aroused the officers suspicion,
and he concluded to take them in" At
the Police Station they gave the names of
Mike Burns and Frank Hastings, alias
The Lone Star" The prisoners were
locked up, and after short space Of time
Burns was taken into the Chief of Policies
office, where, before City Attorney Hart
and Chief Dillman, he admitted his guilt

and Burns went in search of the lost treas
ure. After a search of about two hours
the missing link " was found, though not
until the tall silk hat which Mr.. Hart
wore presented the appearance of one that
had seen better days. The party returned,
and also discovered that pair of shoes had
been disposed of for twenty-five cents. Of

No Cause of COMPLAINT.
The following appeared in the San r


cisco Chronicle of day or two since:
Emigrant passengers from the East who desire
to visit San Francisco on their way to Los An
geles or San Diego, complain of bad treatment
from the railroad company. A ticket of the sec
ond class from an Eastern point to Los Angeles
over the Central Pacific cannot be used farther
than Sacramento if the passenger stops off,
there and makes side trip to this CITY, Com
plant is made that when the passenger desiring
to make such trip undertakes to get his bag
gage at Sacramento to be forwarded here he is
asked TO present his ticket, a portion of which
still remains good for passage between Sacra-
mento and Los Angeles. The baggage-master
then takes the ticket and cancels it. and in
order to get to this city the passenger must buy
local ticket. Then, on resuming his Journey
TO Los Angeles, after leaving here he must pay
full local fare, Notwithstanding the fact that he
originally purchased a ticket good for passage to
Los Angeles.
Inquiry at the ticket and baggage offices
in this city discloses the fact that there is
not particle of truth in the whole COM
plant. The tickets purchased at the East
for Los Angeles, via Sacramento, are good
by way of Stockton and Lathrop and thence
down the Southern Pacific. 1t is not good
for a trip to San Francisco and thence back
to Lathrop, and was not so claimed nor
supposed to be when bought. If the holder
| of such ticket desires, after he gets to Sac
| ramento, to go to San Francisco and then
via the Southern Pacific, his through
| ticket is not interfered with, but he is re-
| quired to provide himself with a3ocal ticket
| to San Francisco and back to Lathrop, and
can then travel again from there on with
| his through ticket, if it is not limited and
| time expired. If he wishes to take his
baggage to San Francisco he can do so on
| his local ticket. There is, therefore, nc
| truth whatever in the statement above
quoted.

INFORMATION WAETED.-Sheriff Drew has
