MANDAMUs SUIT.
The Fire Commissioners Demand Theil
Rights of The Trustees.

lho IlIc Oc"84u 1nelf
Rights of the Trustees.
The following synopsis of document
filed yesterday in the County Clerks office
is self-explanatory
"The Board of Fire Commissioners of
the City of Sacramento, and John T. Grit
fits, President of said Board. plaintiffs, VS..
the Board of Trustees of the City of Sacra-
mento. Eugene ] Gregory, John Ryan and
w. r. Jones, members of said Board, de-
PENDANTS"
The complaint alleges that the Fire Com
missioners on February 3, 1888 made re-
port to the City Trustees of the probable
expenses of the Fire Department for the
ensuing year, fixing the amount at $34 lbs:
that the taxable property of Sacramento.
as fixed by the City Assessor, amounts to
Sl2.l 05 325; that the City Trustees, after re-
ceiving the report of the Fire Commission
ers. levied a tax of % cents upon the 500
for the purpose of raising money sufficient
to meet the expenses of the Fire Depart
ment, but that the said % cents on the 500
so levied is not sufficient to raise the
amount so estimated and reported by the
Board of Fire Commissioners.
The complaint says that in order to raise
the amount asked by the Fire Commission
ers it would be Necessary to levy a tax of
% Is cents on the 500; that the Trustees
have been requested 10 make such levy.
but refuse; that tax of % cents on the
500 would amount to only S26, 63I7l
and would leave the estimate so reported
and made BY the Fire Commissioners the
sum of 81 ,493 2S5 unprovided for by any
special or other tax levied by the Board of
Trustees.
The complainant further alleges that
under and in pursuance of an Act of the
legislature, entitled ian Act TO establish
Paid Fire Department in the city of
SACRAMENTO" approved April l, 1872, it Is
the duty of the said Board of Trustees al
the time of levying the city taxes to levy a
special tax sufficient 10 raise the amount so
estimated and reported by the Board of
Fire Commissioners but TO perform such
duty the Board of Trustees have refused
and still refuse.
Wherefore. the plaintiffs pray thai writ
of mandamus shall issue commanding the
Board of Trustees to levy a special tax to
the amount asked-to wit S34 l25.
Judge Van Fleet yesterday granted an
alternative writ of mandate directed 10
the City Trustees, ordering them to either
levy the tax as asked, or to appear in De-
partment Two of the Superior Court, on
the mint day of March, 1888, at 10 o'clock
A N, to how cause why they have failed
TO levy n tax.
Gen. l.. Hart is attorney for plaintiffs.

Opening day for Dunlap
Hats.
Not here merely, but all
over the United States and
Canada.
The shipment of thesegoods
are timed so as to reach deal
ers everywhere just before the
opening of each season. By
thus Withholding the goods
until the last moment, is pre-
vented the copying Of the
shapes in inferior goods by
other makers. The man with
a new Dunlap" on his head
may therefore rest assured
that he is not only wearing the
most fashionable shape in the
country, but one that will not
become common until his hat
is worn out.
The new Dunlap Felts have
a high crown, tapering sides
and a nearly flat crown. The
brims come we'll down over
the face and curl high on the
sides.
The new shape in Silk Hats
has a nearly straight crown,
with a much hatter brim than
has been worn hitherto.

OVER PARTICULAR"

The bulk Of Boys Clothing
runs a scrub race. The goal
is to make what will sell at the
highest prices and cost the
least to produce.
In our business we learn OF
some curious things about
boys clothing, and the slip
shod manner in which it is
sometimes put together.
The fact is, few dealers
anywhere pay as much atten-
ton to the quality of mate
rails and the Kind Of w0rk
put in goods of this kind as
we do.
Our standard of excellence
is now so high that only the
very best manufacturers-and
they are not many-are able
to supply goods which we will
accept. Many makers have
told us that we are over-par-
ticular. If we are, it's a vir-
tue rather than a fault. 1t is
this being "over-particular, "
where other merchants are
mot particular" that has cen
tered here such a great trade.

keep Still You Fool"

A physician, whose word no man ques
tions, tells this story, and it is but sample
of kind that can be truthfully told by the
score in Sacramento. II was in store to-
day "wednesday, in Sacramento, and a
little fellow-so high-a mere boy. came up
to the counter and looked up, and the clerk
said to him: What do you want, NV
SOM A lottery ticket, please sir And
the ticket was handed out and the boy paid
his dollar for it and went away" And if
the narrator of that story had kept on his
travels about town he could have witnessed
plenty of such scenes. And then if he had
gone down to the police station and asked /:
Why are these things permitted have
we no laws and no officials to enforce
them ?" He would have found no po-
liceman to hear him, no Police Commits
sioner would have answered, bnt somebody
might have Kissed "Sh-h-h, don't ::
there's an election coming on in few DAYS |;
keep still, you fool"

GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS..
FEATURES OF NETWORK DEALINGS.

The wheat situation experienced decided rellci
yesterday. The tension Of the recent liquidation OF
ongexsting speculative interest was relaxed so that
the fear Of financial trouble on any important scale
was largely allayed and promise given OF more or
DERBY markets for the time being The relaxation
came from the clcmency Of the big holders OF wheat
f. being conceded by many shrcwd Observers that the
Hutchinson party were free sellers In both Chicago
and New-York for the purpose OF easing deliveries
and preventing dangerous developments. The quiet

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS
ADVANCING ITS RATE OF DISCOUNT.

thursday, Oct Up III
Well. the Bank of England did advance its
rate for discount to per cent and conse-
quence the quotations for Americans came lower
from London and the stocks which foreigners
purchased in this market yesterday afternoon were
thrown back upon it this morning, but they met
with a home demand that easily absorbed the
offerings The first prices made were about on
parity with the London quotations for such stocks
as are dealt in there. and like concession Tor
other stocks. The lowest prices Of the day were
made during the first QUarter-hOur OF business.
Ii was dull market all day, but there succeeded
10 the early decline steady hardening OF values,
which continued till in the last half-hOur, when
some concessions from the extreme advances were
made: The closing prices, however, show sub
stantial advances on last evenings prices and, of
course, larger gains on to-day's early figures. II
Is a battling market, with two wel-detned OPP
posing interests at work; but the side for
depression Is handicapped by an unliluidated in
terest that now shows heavy losses and hence its
attacks weak and frivolous. The other side
is confident Of the situation, is such strong be-
lever in the prosperity OF the country and It's prop
critics, and feels well secured by the saieyvalve
of large short" interest back OF the market,
that il is in no haste to develop its power, but
rather inclined TO invite a further selling OF
phantom stocks. To-day's stock loan market re-
short" interest by yesterdays operations But
care was taken to make the lOaning rates easy
10 the borrowers on that score there was nothing
TO frighten shorts into covering. The Dcst
guide 10 the situation is the hardness OF values
They are easily sold of by any concerted pressure
but the quckness of the rebound is significant Of
the true situation. ST. Paul to-day was sold as
low as sc 10, but il easily. and without any OBJ
servable effort, sold up 10 GO, and later was
pounded down TO 81 3-s, closing at 81 S.. And
SO it is with all the active stocls-they can be
sold down. but the sellers can recoup only at
an advance. The points to sell Philadelphia and
Reading have been plentiful during the last few
days but to-day it sold IA per cent lower than
Yesterdays closing figures. and then advanced
pr cent to "a IA Nobody did it: 1t did 1t
itself Western Union was the special feature
Of the day: early il sold at So Is and later,
without any prominent buying and without bull
ing IL rose TO sc 3-sas6. The market closed
quiet and strong.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET
The Treasury purchased Sl,052. 600 bonds AS
follows: S196 900 per cents at 20 and $3.50 600
IL per cents at l07 34a1 0e The rejected oilers
