ing felonious assault and robbery aud has
placed the warrant ia the hands of the
sheriff 1t is believed by some that the
blade found was the property of Mills him
self no footprints other than his own
were found at the place, and no evi
Gence has been discovered to substan;ate
the theory of assault and attempted murder.
These facts, taken in connection with the
old mans refusal to make an affidavit, have
led to the belief that Mr.. Mills attemp pied to
commit suicide.

Has Her Again.

Rev. Mr.. Filbin received dispatch yes
terday afternoon from the attorney in San
Francisco whom he employed in the re-
cent antl-slavery case of Fong Ling, stat
ing that she had been taken by habeas
corpus out of the mission. 1t will be re-
membered that this woman was rescued by
Mr.. Filbin from Chinese den of infamy
in this cily kept by Chen All Lee, and after
taking her to the Presbyterian Chinese
Mission in San Francisco she was brought
into Court upon a writ of habeas corpus
and possession sought to be gained of her
by Chen All Lee, but the Court permitted
her to retire to the mission. Efforts have
been in progress ever since by the slave
driver who claims to own her to get his
hands again upon her, but he had failed
until now. The dispatch yesterday simply
stated that she had been taken out on ha-
beas corpus and was gone. Mr.. Filbin says
he does not propose to let the matter end
here, but will go to San Francisco this
week and see what can be DONE One fea-
ture of the situation is that good case OF
perjury exists against Chin All Lee, and
this will nov probably be taken up with a
view to enforcing the law and putting this
particular slave-dealing Monaghan whore
he will best serve the public good, by his
worthless carcass being kept from sight be-
hind State Prison bars.

THE POLICE COURT.
The Difference Between Former Judges
and Those of Recent Date.

The Difference Between Former Judges
and Those OF Recent Date.
One of the most important offices in the
municipal government is that of Police
Judge OF all those who have filled that
position, the most distinguished, the one
that has left the best record, is n. Greene
Curtis. He served three terms during the
years 1S53-54 90. II is an office that re-
quires unusual patience, forbearance and
decision. During the three years that
Judge Curtis was an incumbent of the Of
flee, the number of arraignments that en-
bellished the docket of his daily morning
Court were exceedingly numerous, many
of them involving the most subtle ques-
tons Of law, and requiring patience in
their investigation, as well as care and dis
elimination in their settlement. He entered
upon his duties with full appreciation of
its importance and responsibilities, and an
intuitive foresight of its requirements.
With comprehensive knowledge of the
laws ramifications, he meted out justice TO
its offended majesty in manner that made
1t felt and respected. An arraignment be-
fore Judge Curtis =" had an intimidation
upon habitual law breakers widely differ
ent from that which has since prevailed in
this community, where slight punishment
is by the offending often regarded as Ii
cense for crime, or reward for its perpe-
tration. With a proper regard for the in
terests of the city, and the rigid respect due
the law, the quality of his mercy was not
strained, but always tempered with justice.
The forlorn hope of the poorest and hum
blest had the same patient hearing before
him, as the more hardened and unscrup-
lous that came fortified with abundant
counsel, simply because they had money to
secure it. The fines imposed and collected
by Judge Curtis during his three
years term, for various infracdons
all of which WAS turned into the City
Treasury, which added very respectfully to
the revenue of the city, and materially
lessened the burden of the taxpayer. He
collected over $4,000 a year, over $1,000
per month, which paid the salaries of the
police force and nearly all of the city Off
GERS. The criminal class gave Sacramento a
wide birth during his administration, and
an officer of that kind to-day would make
the Capital of California a model city.
WHAT OTHER JUDGES HAVE DONE.
In looking over the city records yester-
day the following figures were obtained as
the amounts collected by the various Judges
since 1867 l.. H. Foote collected, in 1867,

Horan, 5000 20; in 1877, 50, 729 25. In
1878 Thomas Conger, $1,956 80 in 1879,
$3.50. Judge Henry collected, in 1880,

MEIER VS.. CASEY.
A Young Girl Sues Former Employer
for $4,000.


for $4,000.
For weeks past it was rumored that a
well-known merchant of this city had
been too intimate with female servant,
and that the only way he could get out of
his difficulty was to buy himself out. The
air was full of all kinds of rumors, but
they could not be traced to any reliable
source, and the man who is accused of this
great wrong says that it is malicious pack
of lies, that there is not word of truth in
it. and denounces the whole matter as a
Matchmaking scheme.
Be that as it may, the following papers
were yesterday filed in the Superior Court
and Mr.. Casey will be forced TO make his
showing in Court. The complaint reads
as follows:
Now comes the plaintiff Helena Meier.
a minor, through and by Agnes Bemerley,
her guardian ad Item, complaining of
Hugh Casey, the above-named defendant,
and AYERS:
Il. That this plaintiff, Helena Meier, is
a minor under the age of seventeen years,
and that Agnes Bemerley. above named,
was heretofore, to wit on the day of
December, 1887, by an order of the Hon. ].
w. Armstrong, one Of the judges OF this
hO4loAG olt OOuil uuil Iudue CONSTITUTED
and appointed, and is now the duly ap-
pointed and qualified guardian ad litem of
and for this plaintiff
-. That this plaintiff, Helena Meier is
and has always been an unmarried female,
and always was and had been up to the
| time of the commission of the wrongs by
| the defendant, hereinafter mentioned and
specified, chaste and virtuous that on or
about the : day of August, A. D. 1887,
while this plaintiff, the said Helena Meier,
was in the employ of said defendant as a
domestic servant in his household, the said
defendant, with force and violence, made
an indecent assault upon her, the said Hell
ena Meier, at his residence in the city of
Sacramento, county of Sacramento, State
of California, and then and there, by force
and by threats, persuasion and undue in
| t1uence, wickedly seduced, debauched and
carnally knew her, against the desires and
| protestations of her, the said Helena Meier,
whereby she became sick and SO remained
for long space of time, to wit from the
said day until the present time.
). That by reason of the premises, and
| in consequence of the wrongs and seduc-
ton aforesaid, the said plaintiff, Helena
Meier, has suffered greatly in her health
and became sick and suffered great mental
agony and distress. and has been ever since
then prevented from attending to her ordi-
nary business and affairs, and was greatly
afflicted in mind and body, and has been
put to great expense for medical attend
ance and nursing, and has been otherwise
greatly injured, to her damage in the sum
of twenty thousand dollars
Wherefore, this plaintiff prays the judg-
ment of this honorable Court against said
defendant for said sum of twenty thousand
dollars, and for costs, and for general relief
in the premises"
]. c. Ball and Beatty, benson & Oatman
are attorneys for plaintiff.

A Jury Unable to Agree In the Caulfield
Case.
Dull times for me-" said the clerk of
the Police Court as he glanced over the
calender yesterday to see if the proceedings
of the day would net him anything. He,
however, consoled himself in thinking on e
OF the DRINKS would not show up, which
meant 81 50 clear gain. Jerry Haley
stood up to receive sentence, hay
ing been convicted of disturbing the peace.
Ten dollars or 10 days" said the Court.
Press Hawkins, an old offender, said he
was ready to be tried on the charge pre-
ferred against him, common drunk. He
introduced several witness who testified
that they knew Press. when sober, to be an
industrious man. The matter was taken
under Amusement until TO day. Charles
Mccarthy will be heard on the charge of
disturbing the peace o-day.
Judge Buckley then vacated his seat
and Justice Devine, who had been
selected, by the Mayor to try Henry
A. Caulfield, took the chair. Twenty
Jurors who had been summoned
were present, and twelve having
been selected, the trial proceeded. After
the testimony had been taken the jury re-
l4ltu ~ lOillt llCAl NtihlCN. W AlIc lIe
was absent, Judge Buckley again took his
Ieat, and the trial of James Lewis, a lad of
u summers, was called. He was charged
with disturbing the peace. The defendant
having demanded jury, the eight who did
not act in the Caulfield case were chosen to
try the case. Major Anderson volunteered
TO defend the boy, who had no witnesses
subpenaed. The case was such a tritling
one that the jury returned verdict of not
guilty, but requested that the defendant be
reprimanded. Judge Buckley did so, and
upon promise that he would act better in
the future, the defendant vas discharged.
John Moatley, man who became intoxi-
Gated, forfeited his deposit, and the Clerk
hesved sigh of relief. The jury in the
Caulfeld case were then brought out, and
they stated that it was impossible for them
to agree. The foreman said that if some
of the jurors had been questioned before
the trial they would not have been &C
cepted. Justice Devine said he was sorry
they could not agree, and dismissed them.
He ordered another panel of % jurors to be
served and set the case for January 10Th.

Baseball Season of 1888.

Wilbur F. George, who so successfully
managed the Alta Baseball Club of this
city the past season, is authority for the
statement that the Capital City will be
without representation in the League, and
that there will be no league games played
here during the coming season. The prop
osition OF the managers of the Bay clubs
to schedule the Atlas into but three Sun
day and five Saturday games in San Fran
cisco-is equivalent to saying Sacramento
should have but fifth-rate club. But for
the surplus derived from the San Francisco
games no club could have been maintained
here during the past season, and now,
by this underhanded way, the Atlas, who
were always the best drawing card, have
been forced from the League. We shall
patiently wait to see the result of this dog
in-the-manger policy of Messrs. Harris,
Finn and Robinson, and see if a season s
interest can be kept up by league of clubs
from one locality

ment Tillotson had formerly resided at
Suisun, and on October 9th, last year a
warrant was sworn to by Albert S. Cook,
charging him with the ENLIGHTENMENT of

him, however, Tillotson met two sight
seers who told him that if he would come
TO Missouri they would give him an inter
est in a mine there. Tillotson thought he
had struck it rich and went with his
friends to the chilly East. He, however,
did not find out his mistake until he had
been relieved of most of his money
Departing, he resolved to return home, and
got as far as this place when he was
arrested. He had been in this city for a
day or so and when arrested was in the
