Our Protection from Fire.

The good work which was commenced
some months since by J. T. Griffitts, to take
the Fire Department OF the city out of the
position of being merely an operating sta.
ton for carrying on low boss politics, and
for the delivery of political offices, bought
and sold in open market, has already
ripened into potent results. That depart
partment of the city's affairs had
ceased to be conducted for the
interests of property owners and
the people of the city. The matter of put
ting out fires had become an entirely sec
ondary affair, and the sole qualification for
positions upon the department force was
services rendered in running the local
political machine or those to be thereafter
rendered. 1t is fortunate for the city that
Mr.. Griffitts had the courage to rise up
against this condition of affairs and remain
firm until the people had an opportunity
to express themselves through the ballot,
and emphatically indorse, as they have,
the reform position taken. Itnow remains
for the new Board to carry into effect the
unmistakable wishes of the community,
and render the department as effective for
protecting the homes and property of the
people as possible, and leaving the work of
running elections and carrying out boss
dictation to other sources. Let the new
force be the best and its work of highest
Ordar

Hoyt & Thomas Company appears to-
night, presenting Charles Il. Hoyts farce
comedy, "A Hole in the Ground" The play
is an extravagant thing of the same order as
"a Rag Baby" "a Tin Soldier" and "a
Brass Monkey" by the same author. Its
purpose is to hold upa " take-off" of some
of the peculiarities of uncivil railroad en-
ployes, and those of some of the travel
ing public that render the life of
the railway official unbearable. 1t is
represented by the press as less bois-
ferrous than Hoyt's other burlesquss,
but more sarcastic and satirical Flora
Walsh is of the company, and will be re-
membered as a specially attractive little
body in Hoyt's other extravaganzas. The
New York Ne,0s speaks of the piece as no
play, but means to two and half hours
of laughter of the heartiest kind. A feat
ure OF the specialties introduced is one
entitled THE Tailor-made Girls" An
other feature is the character of a baseball
umpire, sustained by Julian Mitchell. The
company plays here three nights.

up the list of new appointees none but the

should without any question whatever be
retired. These were named at the time,
and offenses committed by them were
pointed out. 1t is not necessary to repeat
now their names nor offenses. There is
another class that no Police Commissioner
can afford to vote for, and which is
always seeking Office on the police force,
and that is the class that habitually con-
sorts with lewd women and gamesters. A
man who has these for companions when
oil the force, will not enforce the law
against them simply because he has been
decorated with a star and furnished with
an additional fund of spending money.
There are applicants to-day for positions
upon the police force, whose social hab-
It's are so low that the atmosphere of Sec
ond and l. streets is their natural element,
and who will be disgrace to the force if
elected. Let no man have the badge of of
fice conferred upon him whom the Com
missioners will not be willing and glad to
have his standing and character made fully
known to the public. This is the only
safe course, both for the Commissioners
and the people.

Catherine Pearson's Suit.

Taylor & Holl, on behalf of Catherine
White, have commenced an action in the
Superior Court against Charles f. Pearson,
Joseph S. Pearson, Martha Ellen Meigs,
Penelope Porch, Mary A. Binkerhoff,
Letitia Cooper and Hattie o. Huntington.
Plaintiff AYERS that she is the widow of
Charles Pearson, who died in September,
1884, and that the defendants are children
of deceased. After her husbands death,
she alleges, she entered into an agreement
with the children by which she was to re-
ceive 5000 and relinquish all right and
interest in her husbands estate, valued at
100000, and consisting of real estate in
Napa county, shares in the capital stock of
the Dixon Bank, etc. The money was to
be paid in installments from the shares of
the various heirs to the estate. She re-
ceived s., 900 of the money, she says, but,
before the other $1,000 was paid, Charles E.
Pearson, who had been administrator, went
before the Court of Napa county and fraud
ulently had the estate settled up. The
plaintiff now prays that the order of final
account be sci aside and that the heirs be
required to pay into Court $1,000.

who had been arrested at the latter place
for passing counterfeit money.
These men were wanted in this city on
the same charge, and Chief Lee was on
their track when they were arrested at
Marysville. They appeared here some
thing over week ago, and succeeded in
passing about hundred bogus dollars in
different parts of the city. They passed
four of them upon one druggistin payment
for morphine. Yesterday, while they were
at the City Prison, Chief Lee sent for the
druggist, and he identified the latter of the
two as the man who passed the bogus
money on him. This man now gives the
name of Hart, while at the time he pur-
chased the morphine he gave the name of
johnson.
They succeeded in passing quite large
amount of the bogus money in Marysville,
and had 1857 spurious dollars in their pos
session when arrested.

parties were arrested here on the night of
March 9th in connection with the mysteri-
ouo death of A G. Damon, who was found
in dying condition in the alley between
L and M, Second and Third streets, and
who had been robbed of considerable
sum of money. The last that was known
OF him before he was found was that he
was in the house formerly kept by Mollie
Jones. with Mrs. Cooper. The police au-
thorities here do not know the particulars
of the present arrest of the parties, but
presume that they have kidnapped the child
which Mrs. Cooper had with her when she
was arrested here, and which was taken
away by her husband and placed in charge
of his mother.

half-past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon on
the railroad track in front of the freight
depot, foot of K street. No. Sc, the freight
train bound south, was pulling out, when
he attempted to jump upon brake-beam.
Missing his hold, he fell beneath the cars
and was literally all cut to pieces. Differ
ent members of his body, pieces of flesh
and brains were Atrewn along the track for
hundred yards, presenting sickening
sight. Special officer Robert Dunlevy
witnessed the horrible accident and at once
reported it to the Coroner, who gathered
up the human fragments and took them to
the Morgue. The victim was q weak
minded tramp, with long hair, who has
been noticed for some time going about
Front street picking up cigar stumps and
