Sergeant Barwick, Signal Service OBJ.
server, says: " In connection with the
heavy rainfall on the night of the 18th and
18th, the following record of heavy precip-
itation during any "a consecutive hours
will be found interesting and instructive
and shows that the heavy rainfall of few
nights ago has only been beaten on six &C.
casions In twelve years. The date shows
the heaviest rainfall in any "a hours for
each year, and is as follows: November
IL. 1877, 81 of an inch; January 15, 1878,
1.63 inches; March 5, 1879, 81 inches;
April 81, 1880, 724 inches; January 81,
1881, 266 inches; October 8, 1882, I.82

inches; February and 5, 1881 24S inches;
January and 3, 1888, l. 80 inches; March
II and Is, 1889. 240 inches.
THE rainfall up to 5 clock last evening
was so of an inch, making 4 60 inches for
this month; sos inches for the year. and
IA % inches for the season, as against 10 06
inches to an equal date last year. The
barometer at P. M. yesterday was low and
having a downward tendency, reading but
90 Al inches at o'clock This is quite a
low barometer and certainly is not good
indication of settled weather soon. The
lowest temperature yesterday was 500 and
that also occurred at P. N; the Their
mometer at 5 A. NJ. read $50, and 5 p NJ. 500,
showing something unusual for as gem

In our last report some structures occurred in
reference to advice given us by the District At
torney. Since Mr.. Burners return we are sltis-
fled that misunderstanding arose in reference
TO some of the advice given us by him. Much
of the testimony taken before Us was upon
charges of felony, to wit: Bribery. extortion
ar grand larceny, which would have been in
dctable by us. The testimony in regard to fell
ony other than grand larceny. not being sutii-
Gent 10 warrant an Indictment being found. we
investigated, under his advice, surprising we
had power to find Indictments, the charges OF
misdemeanor, and found several TO be sus-
tanned by the testimony. IL would be within
our power at this time 20 recommend that the
District Attorney prosecute in the Justices Court,
but inasmuch as we are satisfied that the in
designations so far had have been efiectual in
squirting the officers to strict performance OF
their duties. and that gambling has practically
ceased in Sacramento City. we do not think il
advisable at this time to instruct the District
Attorney TO proceed with the prosecutions in
the Justices Court.
There seems TO be an impression abroad,
backed by few members Of the legal profes.
sion that his Honor J. w. Armstrong has been
too ofiicious in advising the Grand jury.
In view nj this. we believe IL to be our duty
to say that the Hon. J. W. Armstrong has never
volunteered any advice TO this Grand Jury. In
our relations with the Court since we have been
convened he has always maintained the dignity
belonging to a SUPERIOR Judge, and never adj
vised this Grand Jury. II Is true that the Grand
Jury formulated number of questions and 81
their request he called the Grand Jury into
Court aud judicially passed upon those ques-
tions. AS TO the legality OF such al acs, this
Grand Jury is not qualified TO determine, bul
we do say that any insinustion that his Honor
tried to lead this Grand Jury by volunteered
advice has nc foundation in fact.
We would request such persons as think the
claims we believe to be unlawful are lega

A Miraculous Escape.

Yesterday afternoon the ponies attached
to Ed. Amsden's buggy started upon run
away from Fourth street. His son, who
was in the buggy and unable to control the
team, had a miraculous escape. When
the buggy struck the railroad track on J
street he was thrown over the dash board
upon the tongue. He crawled back into the
buggy. He could not get over the top, SO
he crawled under the seat and dropped out
behind, unhurt, when the horses were
going up J street at break-neck speed. He
exhibited much bravery, great GOODNESS,
and escaped without scratch.

Trouble on the Oregon,

The overland Oregon express, which
reached Chico at 3 A. NJ. yesterday met
with an accident about three miles above
that town. The heavy rain caused the
track to spread. The engine and three
coaches passed the break in safety, but the
last car, the smoker, jumped the track and
rolled down an embank ment, turning CON-
pletely over. Conductor Cox was in the
car, and by his prompt action prevented a
panic, and all got out in safety. Two pas
sengers received scalp wounds and num-
Der of others were badly bruised A
wrecking train was sent out from this city
to clear the track.

which isS more than it cost to expert
the books Tor the years 1887 and 1885,
We indorse the recommendation of the expert
that the books be examined each year. instead
OF once in two years, as has been the custom,
since the cost will be no more We also indorse
his recommendation in regard to school orders
not properly filed, and recommend that the
County superintendent of Schools refuse to
honor any order drawn on him, unless it meets
the requirements of law.
For the financial statement of every county
officer who has the handling of money see ex-
pert's report, and in the.same report may be
found statement of the several amounts that
have passed through the several funds for the
years OF 1887 and 1888, and the balances in each
fund January l. 1889.
For the convenience of the Honorable Super.
ior Court, the Grand Jury have appended the
experts report to this our partial report.
In the Recorders Office we find a number of
Books of Record and indexes needing binding,
and IN some instances 1t may be necessary to
copy. We therefore, recommend that the Board
OF Supervisors have done such binding and
copying as in their judgment is necessary.
IN the year 1888 the Assessor failed 10 place
up the assessment roll quite an amount of prop.
erty. But Mr.. Frost assures the jury that all
property left off the roll last year will be doubly
assessed in 1889, as required by law
We think If people would be more prompt in
returning their statements to the Assessor and
if the Assessor would apply the penalties al
lowed by law to such as persistently refuse or
neglect to make such returns, that the assess.
ment roll might be made in the time allowed by
law.
Since our last report we find that the County
Clerk did make affidavit to the Board of Super
visors that he wanted extra help for the purpose
of making the Great Register, and that the
Board did sanction the employment of such
extra help. We therefore ask that the list of
persons and the amounts alleged to have been
illegally drawn from the Treasury in our last
report be eliminated, and the list of persons and
amounts submitted in this report be adopted in
its stead.
Under the law the Board of Supervisors have
the power to appropriate 81 900 10 encourage
immigration. But We find in the year 1858 they
have exceeded that amount in the sum of $3.50
