Important Damage Suit.

The case of H. S. Byam VS.. George Cash
man will come on for trial in Department
One of the Superior Court. before Judge
Armstrong to-day. The action is one of
considerable importance in connection with
the iDjunctions issued in the hydraulic
mining cases. The amended complaint
was filed on the 18th of July, 1887, and sets
forth that on the 10th of September, 1885,
an injunction was issued by the United
States Circuit Court in the case of George
eastman VS.. Amador and Sacramento Ca
nal Company ct al, against the plaintiff
and others, restraining him from tall
ing debris into the Cosumnes river or
its tributaries that plaintiff was COM
PEELED to give a bond in the sum
of $4,000 to stop work in the Hill
Top mine and stop running water through
the Amador and Sacramento canal for six
ty-four days; to employ counsel at an ex-
pense of 81, 200, and to lose money in vari-
Gus ways. That subsequently the same
Court decided that said George eastman
was not entitled to the injunction. A cross
complaint and answer was filed by defend
ant on the 18th of October, 1887, and the
whole case will come up day for adjudi-
cation. Plaintiff demands judgment in the
sum of Sc, 760 and costs. Messrs. McKune
& George represent the plaintiff and Messrs.

Angelo Domentini,s Case.

The trial of Angelo Domentini, charged
with criminal assault upon 12-year-old
girl named Mary Wiedman, was COM
menced in Department Two of the Superior
Court, before Judge Van Fleet, yesterday,
District Attorney Elwood Bruner prose-
cutting the case, and w. A Henry and G.
t. Jones appearing for the defendant. The
whole day was spent in an effort to secure
jurymen who had not formed and expressed
an opinion. Mr.. Jones subjected each one
of the jurymen whose names were called
to very rigid examination, and many were
excused. When the Court adjourned ten
men had been secured who were acceptable
g to both sides. The prosecution expect to
prove that the child was engaged in selling
tickets for the benefit of the Orphan Asy-
lum, and entered the store where the de-
PENDANT was employed to sell him ticket,
and that while there he committed an
assault upon her. The defense will be that
the girl being over 10years of age was capa-
bic of consent under the statute, and that
no violence was used. The Courtroom was
filled with spectators, mostly Italians.

Sacramento, March I, 1888.
Supervisors and Auditor.

County Auditor Miller went before the
Board of Supervisors yesterday morning
and explained his position in regard to the
action of the Board instructing him to
draw a warrant in favor of A. W. Burrell
for SIS, 500, on his contract for constructing
the Twelfth-street bridge. The Board, on
the day previous, ordered the warrant
drawn on the general fund, and the Auditor
declined to draw it. Yesterday he sug-
gested plan by which the matter could be
arranged. He suggested that the warrant
be drawn on the general road fund.- which
is exhausted, and then the Treasurer could
indorse it as sc not paid for want of funds, u
when it would become good, negotiable
paper, upon which the contractor could
realize. Then, when there was money in
that furd, the warrant would be cashed.
Mr.. Burrell is expected here to-day, when
the Board will probably take some further
action in the matter.

Moilie Jones' Children.

Since the incarceration of Mrs. NJ. B.
Jones in the County Jail her three children
Nellie, Stella and Edward Chester, aged
respectively nine, seven and three years,
have been in charge of Manuel Strauss and
Mrs. Kate Cooper, who were arrested night
before last on the suspicion that they were
connected in some way with the death of
the stranger who was found dying in the
alley between l. and NJ, Second and Third
streets. Yesterday it became necessary
that some provision be made for them and
the case was taken before the Board of
Supervisors. Pending their action Mrs.
DR.. Clayton and Mrs. F. W. Frat, of the
Protestant 0ryhan Asylum, appeared and
offered to take charge of the children, tenn.
porarily, for small compensation. As it
was not desirable to send small children to
the County Hospitol the Board decided to
pay So per month to the Orphan Asylum
for the care of the children, and they were
accordingly sent out there yesterday after
noon.

To-day is to be as much
a Spring Dress Goods open
ing as Millinery opening.
Plenty of aides Suits this
season will be seen made en-
tirely of the wool or the silk
and wool checks and stripes.
Paris has said it.
That would be enough to
fix the fashion if the effect was
ugly; but it isn't.
The plaid and stripe makers
have outdone themselves.
Such blending OF color, such
novelties of weave, such brill
liant and pleasing combinations
were never before seen in
goods of this kind. There are
a few big plaids, but by a
trick of weave or coloring they
lose the staring boldness of
bare bigness.
There's high art in every
pattern, and the patterns are
by scores. each in many
shades.
Take one and try to analyze
the colors. Not an easy thing
to do. Here pink, gray, brown,
blue, steel and lead plaids
formed by threads of white,
garnet, old gold, blue, etc.
Checks in many combina-
tons of tan, blue, brown, gray,
olive ard garnet.
Plaids run through various
grades to big blocks, or to big
blocks broken into small ones.
Half score of colorings.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FRIGHTFUL DEATH.
Young Harley Hooker Killed at the

Young Harley Hooker Killed at the
Depot
Harley Hooker. a boy 10 years of age, the
son of Mrs. James Hooker, a widow living
at Twenty sixth and B streets, met with a
frightful death at the Southern Pacific Rail
road depot at about lilo o'clock yesterday
morning.
The Sacramento local, No. Is, had just
arrived from San Francisco. on the south
track, and a crowd of newsboys and others
were gathered around the baggage stand at
the east end of the depot, where the San
Francisco papers, Just arrived, were being
counted out to the boys. No. 81, the South
ern Pacific train, had just pulled in on the
north track and No. 26, the Stockton train
which leaves at 11:20, was being slowly
backed down the center track from the east
to clear the switch for the San Francisco
local. The switch engine was at the east
end of the train and the lookout on the
west end had stepped off the platform of
the car to signal the engineer when
young Hooker suddenly stepped backward
upon the track directly in front of the
slowly-moving cars. Several persons who
saw his danger called to him, but it was
too late. The cars struck him and he fell
Deneatn the truckS, the TWO wheels OF which
passed over him before the train stopped.
He was picked up in horribly mangled
condition and carried into the station
porter's room. Both legs and one arm were
broken. there was a severe wound in the
right side of his head, and his entrails pro-
truded from frightful wound in the abdo-
men.
DIR. Huntington and DR.. G. L. Simmons,
Jr., were summoned and were soon in at
tendance, but all they could do was to some
what alleviate the sufferings of the bow
during the short time he had to live. The
little fellow bore his pain manfully, and
asked that priest be sent for. One came
soon after and administered the last sacra-
ments. The boy remained conscious al
most to the time of his death, which occur
red a little after II o'clock. His mother
and brother had not yet arrived and he de-
sired the priest to say good by to them for
him.
In speaking of this accident officer Tim.
Lee says that there are a number of boys
who spend most of their time about the
depot, and he is surprised that more of
them are not killed. He says they board
the trains while they are in motion, climb
all over the cars and commit all sorts of
depredations, which keeps him chasing
them all the time

Ready. All preparations
complete. The success or fail
ure of to-day's occasion de-
ponds on public judgment of
what we have been working
and preparing for the last two
months. We think it will be
found that we have been
working with the idea that it
must be a suecesS-a great
success. We cannot afford to
have it otherwise.
Let it not be forgotten in
the glitter and show of elegant
things from the East and Eu-
rope, that we do creditable
work in our own millinery
rooms. In previous seasons
some of it has ranked as high
in taste and originality as any
from Paris. Of course the
prices are less.
In fact, the products of our
work rooms show as fine a
sense of the proprieties of
dress, of color studies and
effects as anything San Fran
cisco or other larger cities
produce. To say less would be
to say that the people of Sac
ramento have less taste. It's
simply supply and demand.
You know what the best is,
and want it. We study to
know what you want, and
keep it, Our stock is a ba-
rometer. 1t rises or falls as
public taste rises or falls. No
one expects a merchant to buy
what he cannot sell. We are
no exception.
Openings are for seeing.
We hope no one will stay
away because they are not
ready to buy. We should pre-
fer to have a thousand people

On False Pretenses.

Charles Weinrich was arrested yesterday
by officer Franks and Constable Barker, of
Fresno, on a warrant issued at that place,
upon complaint charging him with Oh
tanning money under false pretenses. 1t Is
alleged that Weinrich borrowed $40 from
the City Marshal of Fresno, stating that he
had money in the bank, Which statement
turned out to be false. He has been at work
with party of railroad surveyors in the
lower country for some time, and returned
to this city only few days ago. He says
that he borrowed the money, but had no
intention OF defrauding the Marshal He
was taken before Judge Buckley, and gave
bond in the sum of $3.50 to appear in
Fresno on Monday next at 10 o'clock A. NJ,
to answer to the charge. The young man
resided in this city many years, is respect
ably connected, and has many friends who
will regret to learn of his present diff

Some Eleotion suppes,ions.

EDS. RECORD UNION Just at this time
we hear great deal of talk about purity in
elections, etc. Somehow, l am under the
impression that there is somewhere in the
statute-book of this State a provision re-
quiring saloons to be closed on election
days. Am l correct? If so, whose especial
duty is it to see that that very wise provision
is enforced? AS rule, men, be they ever
so vile, in their sober senses do not fall so
low as to sell their votes, or cast ballot
where they have no right to, thereby run
ming a chance of serving term in the
penitentiary but once stepped in election
day intoxicants they are then fit instru-
ments for the manipulation of corrupt
political ringsters who fatten on the pro-
ceeds of political chicanery. And, by the
way as the late Republican Convention
so openly Endorsed ring rule and violation
of fair elections, would it not be good
idea for the Democratic Convention which
meets tonight to pledge in unequivocal
terms its candidate for Chief OF Police,
whoever he may be, to enforce, so far as it
is in his power, oil laws and ordinances
within the bounds of his authority?

HOspitAl on Fire.

About o'clock yesterday morning fire
broke out in one of the female wards at
the county hospital, the cause being a de-

awake at the time, and the fire was soon
extinguished by the use of few buckets of
water, though the inmates of the hospital
were badly frightened. A small arch was
burned out and some of the timbers be-
tween the ceiling and the roof, the damage
done amounting to $50.
Besides the other damage done at the
hospital during the late storm and already
reported, wood shed 200 feet long was
blown down and totally wrecked, entailing
