The DEATH OF Chief Justice Waite
Of the United States Supreme Court
deprives the bench of one of its ablest
and most distinguished members.
The sad announcement fell upon the
city this morning with startling un-
experiences. even the fact of his
previous illness not being generally
known He was supposed to have
within his strong and robust ma
ture the promise of prolonged life.
But the malady that had overtaken
him was Of the acutest and most relent-
less form and he speedily succumbed
to its power, leaving vacancy
both in public and private life that
may not be readily filled. If by
reason Of the different and less dis
turbed conditions Of the country-the
era of reconstruction having substan-
TALLY elapsed-Judge Waite was less
illustrious in the annals Of the Judi
ciary than the Chief Justice who pre-
ceded him and who also died in office,
he was universally recognized as a
learned jurist, safe counsellor and
conservative publicist, whose dis
tinction at the bar and decisions on
the bench shed honorable lustre upon
the profession.
EX-SENATOR Dorsey, being asked
by a reporter of the New York Press

should nominate for President, re.

ought to be the nominee if the party

President, Morton for Vice President
and Warner Miller for Governor Of

An Expensive Palm.

Probably the largest and most beautiful
excelsior or shamrock palm in this part of
the county, has been secured by the Monte
Vista Land Company, and planted in the
circular park in the center of their new
townsite in Monte Vista colony, about two
miles east of this city. The cost and trans
portation upon the plant was over ninety
dollars. The company is proceeding in
the right direction to render attractive their
naturally beautiful tract of land, and
provide suburban homes.
They have erected a steam pumping
plant, with 120-foot well, to provide free
water for irrigation, and 25 900 gallon
tank to provide clear water, under pressure,
for dwellings.
The water right will be attached to the
land and certain proportion of the water
works stock be presented to each purchaser
of land, whether in lots or acre blocks.
the avenues and lots have been neatly
ornamented with palms, sour orange and
cypress trees. Another interesting feature,
recommending it to purchasers, is clause
in all deeds, prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors anywhere in the colony.
Those who have not seen the colony
grounds, it will repay you TO drive out and
do 50. 1t is reached by the Brighton IN
street, road and Odbert's lane. The COM
pany will have a railroad excursion to the
tract tomorrow, when they will put the
property on the market for the first time.

A Straight-out Position,

To the Republicans Of Sacramento We
deem it proper TO state the facts of our con-
nection with the late Republican State
Convention, that you may understand our
position and know our conduct
We were strongly opposed to the election
of delegates to that Convention by The Re-
publican County Committee of Sacramento
county, and as strongly urged the calling
of primaries and Convention under the law
for that purpose. We were elected dele
gates by the County Committee without
solicitation on our part, and without any
bargain. or trade, or engagement, or under
standing with the County Committee or its
members. We favored calling a primary
and holding a Convention after the COM
mittee elected delegates. We accepted the
positions rendered Us because we believed
that unless we did the &" bosses would fill
our places with men of their own kind. and
we hoped to do some good to the party by
acting. We opposed the election of A. J.
Rhoads as a member of the Republican
State Central Committee, and voted for
Hon. +. r. Dray for that position, as
being a more representative Republican,
and better adapted to the place than
Mr.. Rhoads. We were outvoted, and while
we are obliged for the present to submit to
the result, we do not wish even by our
now and henceforth honest and fair pri-
mary elections and Conventions in the
Republican party, whether the object be
the election of delegates to State Conven.
ton or the nomination of county ticket.

VANISHING WITNESSES.
Another Tivoli Case Dismissed for Want
of Prosecution.

oil prosecution.
When the case of Minnie Meyers.
charged with grand larceny, was called in
the Police Court yesterday morning the
complaining witness, Samuel Ledger, was
called for in vain, and the City Attorney
was compelled 10 move for a dismissal of
the case for want of prosecution Ledger
swore to a complaint against the defendant
on the 2Sth instant, charging her with hay
ing robbed him of $40, while he was in the
Tivoli on the previous night. Subsequently
he went to Chief Lee and told him that a
man had come to him and said he had
better leave town. The Chief told him to
point out the man and he would arrest
him, but this Ledger failed to do. The
case was set down for examination on
Tuesday, and on Monday night Ledger was
at the station house, but when his name
was called the next morning he did rot
appear. The case was continued until yes
terday and an attachment issued for Ledger,
but since that time the officers have failed
to find him.
E. c. Hart, who appeared for the de-
fendant, blandly expressed his regrets that
the complaining witness could not be
found, as his client very much desired to
show from his testimony that she was not
guilty. He did not, however, care to wait
any longer for his appearance, and thought
the defendant ought to be discharged.
The City Attorney said that no other
course was left him but to move for the
discharge of the prisoner, which he did,
and the motion was granted.
Chief Lee was much chagrined over the
result of this case, following so soon after
the failure TO convict in the case of Duck
worth, Howard and the Smiths, growing
out of the row at the Tivoli some two
weeks ago, and says that the next time a
complaint is entered against any one con-
nected with that place he will see to it that
the complaining witness does not disap.
pear. There is a Way to secure the at
tendance of witnesses. and he proposes to
see that they are on hand hereafter

BORCHERs WILL GO.
1t Pays to be Good Pitcher-A Princely
Salary.

1t Pays to be a Good Pitcher-A Princely
Salary.
In speaking of the Sacramento phenom-
email pitcher, the Examiner of yesterday
says:
1t is settled fact that Borchers will go
East, as Manager Tom Robinson of the G.
& NJ. S has granted him permission to Join
the Chicagos, and it is supposed that his
mother will not interpose an objection.
Borchers is a better man than any twirler
that ever left California to play in the
East. Charley Sweeney did not go East to
pitch, but he showed the ability to twirl
during his first season with the Providence
club, and as result he proved good one
and was held back for emergencies. His
record is too well known to be repeated.
The terms asked for by Borchers and ac-
cepted by Spaulding, of Chicago, are the
highest ever paid to an untried man in a
league club and amount to $500 per month,
$1,000 for the balance of the season, six
months.
In speaking of the acceptance of his
terms yesterday, Borchers laughingly said:
Who would have thought that could
demand $500 a month for playing ball?
Why it's only three years ago since used to
play in corner lots and bet fifty cents on the
game"
The club to which he belonged finally
took the name Alta, from horse of Ashes
stable. In 1885 they were admitted into the
California League and remained with that
league until last season, when they were
frozen out and Stockton admitted in their
place.
Borchers played with the team until the
early part of last season, when he was
signed by the g. & Ms as pitcher He
made his reputation with the latter team,
as he amounted to but little until he be-
came connected with the Oaklanders.
While the New York combination were in
this city he faced them twice. On the first
occasion he was badly punished, but the
second time he held the Giants down to a
few scattering hits.
Borchers accomplished the feat of shut
ting out the hard hitting Haverlys without
hit or run on one occasion, and in an
other game the ex- champions obtained but
a single hit off his delivery.
1t is the general belief among baseball
men that Borchers will prove a greater
man in the box for the Chicagos than the
other California representative-Van Hal
tren.
Borchers will pitch his last game in this
city this season on Sunday, on which occa-
sion he will fan the Haverly batsmen-the
same team that Van Haltren twirled
against prior to his departure for the East
on his first season there. In that game
Van was sized up for sixteen single hits.
Borchers will probably leave for Chicago
on Tuesday

The Democratic County Central Commit
tee met at the Capital Hotel last evening.
There was full attendance of the commit
tee. They met in the office of the hotel,
with some forty stalwarts of the party.
The Chairman, J. n. Payne, called on sew
eral gentlemen present, who were not
members of the committee, for expressions
as TO what course should be pursued in
selecting delegates for the County Conven-
ton. All who spoke were in favor of har-
mony, and said that only could be secured
by the holding of a primary election
where every Democrat would have voice.
They wanted square ballot and an honest
count. At 8 P. fM. the committee ad-
iourned to room upstairs and went into
executive session.
They decided to hold primaries on the
10th day of May to elect delegates to a
County Convention to be held in this city
on the 18th day of May. The proclama-
ton appears in another column.
They passed the following resolution:
Resolred, That we most heartily iudorse the
Administration of President Grover Cleveland
as able, honest and economical. That we ap-
prove his course, and express our satisfaction in
the integrity he has manifested and the most
excellent judgment he has displayed in admin
istering the laws of this great country. That
his acts have proven him statesman possessing
eminent ability one who Tanks with any who
have preceded him in occupying the Presi-
dental chair, a position the highest and most
honorable in the gift of any people. We com
mend him for standing firm and true to the
platform on which he was elected, and OBJ
served and carried out his pledges of reform in
letter and spirit.

Feen Third and Fourth, and it may nov
E said to be the finest and best equipped
very stable on the Pacific coast. A new
able has been built on the south side of
lie alley, back of the main stable, making
lie stall capacity sufficient for one hundred
Id nifty horses. Still south of this build
lg is large corral, where horses can be
rned out to roll and rest. An addition
)x60 feet has been built on the carriage
ouse. making it 100x75 feet, and giving
nple room for two hundred buggies. This
irriage repository is on the second floor,
nd stands on heavy posts, leaving all of
he space beneath as shelter for horses
lrned loose in tie corral. All of the
.ables are above ground, the whole place
} light, airy and healthy, and is not sur
assed for convenience by any similar
uilding in the State. The stable was a
cry fine one before and Mr.. Wilson has
