AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report That Should BE Read

ga recent analyzation in Philadelphia by
celebrated chemist OF ten popular brands OF
sarsaparilla discloses theastonishirg fact that
these ten samples of blood purifiers (?) con-
tanned in the aggregate sixteen different min
erals, eleven of which were active poisons.
Iodide OF potash was discovered in every sam
pie, mercury was found in all but two, while
arsenic existed in siZ Of the ten brands. Not
one brand was the pure article"
4 reporter took the above clipping to /. W.
Joy, the manufacturer OF Joys Vegetable sar-
saparilla. NJ. Joy exhibited no surprise. lie
said druggists knew L. lie said he long ago
saw the crying need for a safe and absolutely
pure vegetable preparation OF Sarsapariila,
hence his was named joys vegetable sersapa-
rilla, because it contained nothing but pure
syrup o. sarsaparilla, combined with the pu,e
juices Of California'sv vegetable alternatives. I'm
like potash sarsaparil.as, il Goes not force i'm

Death of Richard Hall.

Mention was made in the RECORD. u MON
yesterday of the serious injuries received by
Richard Hall at Dixon, in stepping from d
moving train at that place on New Years
morning. He suffered from an injury to
the spine-his lower limbs were paralyzed,
and death put an end to his suffering at 4
A. NJ. yesterday. His remains will arrive
on the Has A. NJ train to- morrow. and will
be inferred in the City Cemetery. Deceased
was a man well known throughout the
Sacramento valley, had a host of friends,
and although in his SEVENTEEN year, was
well preserved and active. He was born in
Ireland, but came to American when mere
lad and immigrated to California in
1853 and in all those years since then has
made his home in Sacramento and Solano
counties. He leaves six daughters and two
sons, all grown and married, who were at
his bedside at The time of his death, except
one who is absent from the State. Their
names are: L. B. Hall, of Sacramento;
bert Wright, Mrs. A. Holdridge Mrs. Geo.
Frahm, Dixon; Mrs. +. Lemoine, Waco,
Tex, and Mrs. Frank Griffiths, Sacra-
mento. AS the train was slowing up at
Dixon, Mr.. Hall was standing on the lower
STEP at the front of car. A breakman on
the rear step called out, You'd better not
Jump" Mr.. Hall Immediately jumped,
and il is supposed he understood the brake
man 10 say, You'd better jump" This
sad death has cast quite gloom over the
little town of Dixon. where he has resided
for so many years.

A New Steam Launch.

Captain Dalton, Chief of the Fish Patrol
and John T. Curley, License Collector, ar.
rived in this city last evening with new
steam launch which the Captain has had
fitted up in San Francisco for patrol use
upon the bay and rivers. She is 26 feet
long, l-foot beam, and draws TWO feet oil
water. She is run by a four horse-pow
coal-oil Shipman engine. Boston model
The Captain thinks the difficulty heretofore
encountered by the patrol will be obviated
by the use of this launch, as she has the
speed required to overcome any fishing
boat which tries to escape by running into
shallow water. Should the wind be favor
able, he can hoist his sail and do away with
steam, but in case il should be necessary to
utilize wind and steam it will increase the
speed one-half. The trip up the river
against the current was made at an average
of six miles per hour. The trial trip in
San Francisco bay in slack water was made
at the rate of ten miles an hour. An appli.
cation for special license has been made
and forwarded to the Treasurer at Wash.
ington, which will allow the Captain to be
his own engineer and pilot, which he ex.
poets TO receive in about ten DAYS.
