By special request Fl. n. Phillips, of How
ell county, addressed the mass meeting at
the courthouse last Saturday after the BUSH
ness nao been disposed of. Col. Phillips is
Iorcibie speaker and his remarks on this
occasion were especially wel-timed and fit
ting to 1.-THE occasion. He handles all the
issues OF the day in a manner peculiar to
himself and makes his points so clear that
all must see. He is doing good work for the
Democracy and will no doubt receive Just
recognition for past services at the proper
time.
The mass meeting at the courthouse last
Saturday was well attended, and representa-
i've men from all oyer the county were pres
ent- EVERYTHING passed off harmoniously
and orderly. None of the delegates were
instructed, but those to the State
Convention will doubtless support Francis,
those to the Judicial Convention will be for

Last Saturday morning the citizens of
Graniteviile were startled at the discovery
that one of their number had committed sui
eide during the night. The name of the I'M
fortunate man was Andrew Gamble. His
body was found in the woods short dis.
lance from the village, sitting on the ground
and reclining against tree. Near him were
his hat and pipe, and the weapon he had u.s.
ed to shuttle off this mortal coil was lying
near his hand. He had shot himself i'm the
abdomen. and death appeared to have come
instantly. The remains were taken care of,
and Justice Logan held an inquest, the find
ing of whose jury was in accordance with
facts as here stated. The motive for the act
was, as stated in a note left to his wife, that
he did not care longer to fight the ills and
misfortunes of life. His domestic relations
were pleasant, but he had grieved greatly
over the loss of child, whose death occur
red some three months ago, but those who
had known him most Intimately are inclined
to the BELIEF that ha Yves not entirely sane.
The deceased had been a reeident of Gran
iteville some Two or three molths, and came
there from Vermont. He leaves a wife and
three children in fair circumstances, who
will shortly return o their Eastern relatives.
The remains of the suicide were buried IN
the cemetery at Middleorook, and the funer-
al was largely attended.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
CARP SHOOTING.

Splendid Sport in the Lower End of the
County.
J. NJ. Stephenson, who resides on the
Sacramento river in the lower end of this
county, was in the city yesterday and in
conversation with a reporter of the REC
oRD-UEIoE referred to an item which ap-
peared in this paper yesterday morning
giving the novel experience of a sportsman
in Georgia who had shot two German carp
on some overfowed land in that State.
The sportsman wrote to the Forest and
Stream, and after telling how he went out
TO shoot plover accidentally run across and
killed two carp. stated that it was to him a
peculiar experience and he doubted
whether anyone else ever had a similar
one.
Mr.. Stephenson says that the sport of
shooting carp with rife is not a new one
in his neighborhood. Last week his son
went out and killed sixteen in one day,
none of them weighing less than seven
pounds. In fact they would not shoot the
small ones. Last season party went out
from his place and killed 600 pounds of
carp in one day on the overflow of Pitt
lake. Mr.. Stephenson describes the sport
as wonderfully exciting and interesting to
the sportsman who knows how to handle
rifle. The water on the overflow is now
about eight inches deep and the season for
carp shooting is at its hight. If any of the
Sacramento sportsmen want to try their
hand on carp they should call at Mr..
Stephenson's place and they will be d.

Wants the Property.

Margaret Conrad, through her attorneys
Taylor Il Holl, has commenced an action
in the Superior Court against Charles H.
Eldred to recover possession of the east
half of Lot No. in the square between
Qand r, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.
The complaint alleges that on the 26th OF
November, 1887, plaintiff was the wife OF
George w. Conrad, who died on that day
That on the 18th day of January 1887, said
George W. Conrad was the owner of said
property; that the same was their home
stead and was community property. On
the l4th of March, 1887, plaintiff and
said George w. Conrad made and de-
livered to the defendant grant deed of the
premises, as security only, to secure the
payment of loan of 1915. That on the
Sth of December, 1856, defendant loaned
said Conrad 81 $50 which was secured BY a
mortgage on the premises. That on the
10Th of September 1887, and at divers
times since, plaintiff has rendered to the
defendant the full sum due on account OF
said loan, with interest on the same, and
demanded that the defendant reconvey said
premises to plaintiff and to satisfy the
mortgage. That defendant has refused and
still refuses to reconvey the premises and
satisfy the mortgage. That plaintiff is now
ready to pay the full sums due into Court
for the use and benefit of defendant. Plain
tiff prays for decree directing defendant
to reconvey the premises to her and fol-
general relief.

One of the sweetest traits
in a child's character is their
confidence in those about
them. Pity that it is ever to
be destroyed Pity that as
the child grows older the
storekeeper is to do his share
in undermining that faith
We do not esteem ourselves
more honest than others in
trade, but we can say that we
employ in our business a sys-
tenn which nurtures and
strengthens confidence. Which
builds up instead of tearing
down. Which protects the
aged or i'll judging buyer as
effectually as it does the little
barefoot.
This is how it does it
A. The same price to every
one.
B. Every article sold for
exactly what it is worth.
G. Money cheerfulIv re-
funded where selections are
not satisfactory.
D. Plain figures and low
est prices.
We have stuck to those
principles for fourteen years.
Have preserved them in their
entirety. Have kept them in
active force. Under their
healthful influence trade has
grown and expanded. Will
grow, will expand.
Still other advantages pre-
sented of another sort are:
A. The customer brought
in almost direct contact with
the producer.
B. A trade large enough
to justify the careful buying
on our part of each item.
c. Largest variety and con-
venience of supplying SO
many wants under one roof.
You may find a few or a
part of the advantages pre-
sented in other stores. But
where else do they all cluster
on one bunch ?

DUCKWORTH,S PISTOL.
The Participants in the TivoIi Row
Discharged.

The Participants in the TivoIi Row
Discharged.
Two sessions of the Police Court were
held yesterday, lasting all day, most OF the
time being occupied in the examination of
j. W. Duckworth. charged with assault
with deadly weapon, and ]. d. Smith,
Dave Smith and Howard Cahill, charged
with battery. The cases all grew out of the
row which took place at the Tivoli saloon
on the afternoon of the 18th inst, during
which Duckworth and man named Jas
McCord were beaten, and Cahill was shot
through the arm by Duckworth. City At
Attorney General A. L. Hart appearing for
Duckworth, and ex-City Attorney E. C.
Hart for the Smiths and Cahill
When the case of Duckworth was called
Z. G. Hart stated that McCord, who was
material witness, had not been subpenaed,
because the officers could not find him. and
that the Smiths and Cahill were not dis
posed to prosecute the case In fact, they
would decline to testify against Duckworth,
as their evidence might tend to convict
them of the crime charged against them.
He was satisfied no conviction could be
had, and thought the cases ought to be dis
missed without taking up any more of the
time of the Court.
Mr.. Church said that he did not think it
right that a case of this kind should be
smothered in this way. He would like 10
hear the testimony OF the arresting officer
and other witnesses to see what could be
proven. He admitted that as all the par
ties had evidently agreed not to testify
against each other, he had little hope of Sc
curing convictions, but he wanted to do
the best he could in that direction.
A. l.. Hart then moved the Court to dis
charge Duckworth ON the ground that he
could not be held more than six days be-
fore examination without his consent.
Judge Buckley overruled the motion,
and A. J. Wilson was put upon the stand
and testified to hearing pistol shots, and
seeing Duckworth IN the street Immediately
afterward with a revolver in his hand
Howard Cahill, the man who was shot. and
who swore TO the complaint against Duck
worth Immediately after the shooting, was
put upon the stand but refused to answer
any questions, by the advice of his attorney,
on the ground that his answers might tend
TO convict him of felony.
City Attorney Church asked the Court to
compel the witness to answer, or commit
him for contempt. A long argument fol-
lowed, participated in by all the counsel,
A. l.. Hart stating that if the witness
answered any questions at all, he would be
subjected to cross examination that
would bring out things that might tend to
convict him of felony. The Court finally
decided that the witness could not be COM
PEELED to answer the questions. A recess
was then taken until two o'clock
During the afternoon session all of the
parties went upon the stand and gave their
versions of the affair in such a way that
Judge Buckley did not consider the testi-
mony suficiene to hold any of them and
they were accordingly discharged.

A large audience gathered in the Young
Mems Christian Association Hall last even
ing to hear the lecture by the Rev. A. C.
Herrisk, entitled, "An Evening With the
Sciopticon From the Alhambra in Spain to
the Holy Moscow in Russia" The speaker
took his audience from Gibraltar, Grenada
and Madrid, in Spain, through Paris, in
France; Heidelberg and Berlin, in Ger
many, to st. Petersburg and Moscow, in
Russia, giving most interesting descrip-
ton Of the many points of interest 70 be
found in these celebrated places of Europe.
The customs of the people, their dress and
strange ideas regarding some things of this
life, were described in most graphic and
interesting manner. The views presented
were very fine, and certainly no lecture or
entertainment has been given in Sacra-
mento for long time that was more in
teresting or instructive than the one given
by Mr. Herrick last evening.

brilliantly illuminated. He said new
