GRAPE GROWERS.

They Hold Another Meeting-They Still
Hold Out Against the Wineries.
The growers met at Changers Hall at l
P. N. Saturday, DR.. Manlove in the chair
David Reese, of Florin, who was sent to
San Francisco by the association to inter
view the winemakers, especially the Ital-
ians in that city, made verbal report. He
said he went to San Francisco last Tuesday.
and on the afternoon of that day inter
viewed the various commission merchants.
They were willing and very anxious to
handle the grapes of this section on COM
mission and each one thought he could
handle all that could be sent him, but they
could not say anything RS TO price. We
could send them our grapes and thew
would dispose of them to the best ad-
vantage possible. Onesti q Co. said they
could handle from 1200 to 1000 tons.
They, however, would handle only on
commission. Last year they contracted
for grapes to come in carload lots and some
of the vineyardists sent in as small as 160
box lots to the car and the result was that
they lost on the grapes. He saw some
Zlntandels that brought SIT at the Bay. BIZ
agga d Co. have handled 200 tons of Zinfan-
dels this season, getting SIT per ton for them.

alize better prices for their grapes later in
the season. He called to see Harszihy.
who is very anxious to buy 300 or 400 tons
of Mission grapes TO work up over at Mad.
ison. He offers for Mission grapes $40 per
ton, loaded on the cars at Florin. While
he will give $40 for the Mission grapes in
this county, he is giving only IS in Yolo
county, claiming the Sacramento grapes are
worth that much more. Mr. Reese also
visited the wine-makers of Oakland and
Alameda. They are not thoroughly in the
business yet; the grapes have ripened a
month earlier than usual
Mr. Kerr, of Elk Grove, said his grapes
were ready to pick they were going back
every day. He said his Zinfandels had al.
ready dried up fully 80 per cent.
Mr.. Routier said Weinstoek & Lubip had
telegraphed to one of the largest dried
grape dealers in London regarding the
market and would have an answer by mail
the latter part of this week. He said the
wine-makers were not ready to buy yet
they would set no price, and he thought
nothing should be done for another week
or ten days.
After considerable discussion as to the
best methods of drying grapes the meeting
adjourned to l P. NJ. Saturday next.

mind you, finest, added to

you have the secret of our

The silk lends strength and
lightness to the composition.
The wool softness, grace and
an exquisite lusterless appear

"Turner HAN opera HOUSE. ),

Saturday night and last night Turner
Hall was opened by Postel & Simmons
with Lew Johnsons BLACK Baby Boy
Minstrels. Why such a silly, not to say
pulling. title for very entertaining troupe
was selected probably not even its origi-
nators can explain. The hall is well ven
tilated and the major part comfortably
seated, but there is need for improvement
in more of the bench sittings. The COM
pany OF something over twenty colored
people is good one. Those who have
seen only modern" minstrelsy will be
surprised at the absence of most that is
common with burnt cork" minstrels.
The truth is, that that style of negro
minstrelsy has wandered so far from
the old original plantation reproduction
as to be unrecogniZable in its ex-
travagancs and unnaturalness. These
colored men at Turner Hall come closely
up to the old slavery days order of river
boat-plantation-cor -shucking-cotton-p
ing melodies, antics and fun " of the en-
shaved negro OF the past. They have
quartet of phenomenal power; it is very
entertaining, and if not musically cult
waited, is rich in voice and volume The
audiences seem TO be tireless in calling
these singers to repetition of their songs,
glees and jubilee music. There is a very
bright juvenile in the company, q good
singer, a skillful acrobat, drum-major of
lightning-like activity, two old men actors
that come up like the old-t time grandfathers
of Georgia plantation of the past, so near
to reality do they bring their characteriza-
ton. It's. on the whole, very intertain-
ing minstrel company, and the closer they
stick to the plantation style the better they
will be. The management appears to have
struck popular vein the audiences have
been large, and the people, if judg by
their appP..ause and expression, ere well
pleased a change in prices puts general
admission at 25 cents and reserved seats at
so cents, thus really making two sections of
the house. The troupe will appear again
tonight, and it is safe to say will draw we'll
for the entire week.

Barn Burned.

About 6 o'clock last evening an alarm of
fire was sounded from box 81, Twentieth
and 0 streets. 1t was caused By the burn.
ing OF small barn, the property of Mrs.
Spillman, at Twentieth and Y streets. The
barn and its contents, eight tons of hay,
was total loss. The Department re-
sponde6, but when the Chief arrived he
found that the nearest ire-plug was some
1000 feet distant, and as that would take
all the bose on two carts, and it could not
be put down in time to save the barn be

so there was no danger of its Spreading to
other buildings. There is water-sprink-
ling connection at Twentieth and Y streets,
and there should be fire. plug pat in there
without further decay.
After the department returned to their
quarters, another alarm was turned in from
box 81. Twentieth and X streeta for the
same fire. The Chief says that every pre-
caution is being used TO be ready to respond
at momears notice, and from the 1nusally
large number of tramps in the city at pres

The fire yesterday is supposed to have
been kindled by tramp whom the family
had refused TO give glass of beer He was

ANOTHER VICTIM.
The Sacramento Boys Will SWIM In the
Treacherous River

The sacramento Boys VIII swim In the
Treacherous River.
Hardly week goes by that some boy or
man is not drowned in the Sacramento
river. The number of boys that have been
drowned this season is quite large, and it
would seem that after so many have lost
their lives in that trescherous stream
that children would not only stay out
of its dangerous current, but that
parents would keep them away from
it. Last Saturday George Henry Stone, a
boy u years and months of age went
bathing in the river with a number of other
lads about his own agea short distance above
the Yolo bridge. There are holes in the
river, and he got into one where the water
is eighteen or twenty feet deep, and being
unable to swim was drowned, the other
boys being unable to render him any assist
ance. Yesterday afternoon his body was
recovered where he sank and taken to the
residence of the heart-broken parents, Mr..
and Mrs William H. Stone, F and G, SIKH
and Seventh streets. George was twin
son, bright, intelligent, well-behaved lad,
the pet of the immediate neighborhood,
and was employed at the new canneTy. The
funeral will take place at P. N. to day
from the undertaking rooms of ]. Frank
Clark. on Fourth street.

SHAMEFUL CONDuCT.

Street.

Street.
Some months ago a well-known citizen
was drowned in the river in front of the
city, and his death has always been looked
upon as a suicide. His widow has made
herself quite conspicuous on certain occa.
sions. Rumor has it that she has not
always behaved herself as she should, and
some weeks ago she, it is alleged, was pre-
vented by Chief Lee from shooting we'll
known young man in this city on K street,
near Fifth. Notwithstanding the fact that
she has several fatherless children to look
after, she seems to neglect them, and her
general conduct, it is said, is to disgrace
them. Saturday night she drove into town
from her ranch, which is some three miles
beyond the city limits, having in the buggy
with her two of her children, the
Oldest about eleven years. She tied the
horse st Eighth and ! streets about 8
O'Clock and left the children in the buggy.
AT midnight the children were CRYING for
their mamma, and the neighbors, taking
pity on the little ones, took them to the
Windsor Hotel and put them to bed where
they cried themselves to sleep. The horse
was taken to the stable about 1870 A. NJ
The woman, accompanied by two men,
whose names are suppressed on account of
their family connections, come up Eighth
street from the direction of the Clunie
building. She began q search for her chill
dren and buggy. When they were found
she started for home, one of the men re-
ferred to going off in the buggy with her.
The matter attracted considerable attention,
and quite crowd gathered around to see
the woman that would so shamefIIllv for
sake her offspring for the society of men.
