BRIEF NOTES.

The fair at Placerville opens to-day.
The Supervisors will meet to-day for
their regular weekly session.
Last night was one of the most sultry of
the season, yet the sky was covered by
white, heecy clouds.
Leaves have their time to fall" etc.,
and the time appears to have arrived, as
some of the trees are shedding them pretty
freely.
Little Harry Reed, the boy who lost his
leg the other night by being run over by a
freight car, was yesterday quite delirious, a
fever having set in.
The police are on the lookout for China
man who is said to have been detected in
the act of committing a criminal assault
upon little girl in a wash house on Eighth
and M streets but made his escape.
The correspondent who referred in yes
terday's issue to the article written by S. S.
Cox in his younger days, which gave him
the soubriquet of Sunset Cox, is informed
that the same was published in the
RECORD UNION less than year ago.
1t was reported yesterday that row
occurred the night before in an uptown
saloon. resulting in a down town barkeeper
taking shot at his adversary, slightly
wounding him on the forehead. An hour
or so after this is said to have occurred a
man appeared at the city prison and wanted
a doctor sent for to dress wound on his
forehead. The officer in charge found it
to be a mere scratch, and refused to call
the City Physician. The man refused to
tell how or where he received the wound,
but it is possible it was in the row re-

Rather Queer Transaction by an Alleged
Lady Philanthropist.
The San Francisco Chronicle of yesterday
mentions very peculiar case which was
brought to the attention of the Health Off,
Ger of that city on Saturday. 1t appears
that about three weeks ago Mrs. E. S.
Thompson, a Christian Worker of Sacra-
mento, appeared at the Health Office in
that city with young woman named Mrs.
Martha Davis, and asked to have her sent
to the Almshouse, she claiming that Mrs.
Davis was entirely destitute. Mrs. Davis
was accordingly sent to the Almshouse.
Mrs. Thompson appeared at the Health
Office again on Saturday and said she had
an appointment with Martha Davis, who
was to transfer deed to certain property,
valued at $50, to her. Mrs. Davis, she said,
was widow of two years standing, and
had resided until recently at Auburn. In
February last she was betrayed by a we'll
known married man of Auburn, and her
condition becoming known TO Mrs. Thomp-
son, she made up her mind to look after
Mrs. Davis interests.
Il interest myself greatly in fallen
women continued Mrs. Thompson, land

Hoesch's suspicious, and he examined Mrs.
Thompson closely. The latter said that
Mrs. Davis was perfectly willing to transfer
the property, which she claimed to be
worth only $50, to her in payment of debts
which had been incurred on her account
Mrs. Davis, who appears to be rather weak
minded, corroborated Mrs Thompson's
statement. and together they went to the
property clerks Office to get the deed which
was supposed to be in Mrs Davis trunk.
TIE deed was searched for, but could not
be found.
Subsequent inquiry developed the infor-
nation that the property which Mrs.
Thompson desired to have transferred to
her. and which she said was worth only
$50, consisted in reality of house and lot
at Bath. in Placer county, and that it was
worth about 500. She said if her motives
were questioned she could refer to the pas
tor of the Sixth street Methodist Episcopal
Oh urch at Sacramento for certificate of
good character. Amid tears she said that
Mrs. Davis was her husbands sister, and
that she had been brought to this city at
his suggestion, as he was too poor to sup
port her. She was Christian Worker,
she said, but God did not ask it of her to
take fallen woman into her family, even
if that woman were her sister-in-la law.
Mrs. Thompson returned to Sacramento
on Saturday night without having secured
the Led 10 Mrs. DAVIS property. Mrs.
Davis is now at the Almshouse, and says
that she has made up her mind to retain
the little property she possesses.

AMERICA ABROAD.
What a Sacramento Lady Saw in Europe
The WorId,S Eair.

Ihe w orluS far.
Mrs. P. d. Gogings, of this city, writes to
friends here from Paris, under date of
August 14th, saying: I'VE have just re-
turned from journey over a part of
Europe. After leaving the United States
our first stopping place was London. Here
we spent several days sightseeing, and
before we had really commenced we were
tired out London, with her wealth and
poverty, her palaces and novels, her his
torical treasures, and all that goes to make
up great city, is, after all, one of the won-
ders of the world.
Upon leaving London we continued
our journey to Brussels, and from there we
proceeded up the river Rhine. The old
castles which line her banks were curiosi-
ties to US denizens of the Western World.
The sight of them almost made our blood
run cold, when we thought of the times
when their lordly owners, during the dark
ages, played their part in the history of the
Old World.
"Our next stopping place was Berlin, the
capital of the German Empire. Here we
spent one week. OF this place l hardly
know what to say-we are all filed with
wonder at the magnifcence of the home
of the Kaiser and surroundings. My pen
would fail me if l undertook to tell you
half. The next place of interest visited
was Dresden, and from there we went to
the palace of the King of Saxony, and then
on to Switzerland and up the Alps. We
visited the famous Lake Lucerne
ION August 10th we arrived in Paris, and
are now doing the Worlds Fair. During
all our travels we felt that to be an Ameri-
can was to be everything, but when we
visited the American exhibit we withheld
our nationality until we got to some other
part of the Exposition. In few days we
shall sail for our own dear America, fully
satisfied and convinced that, after all, there
is no country under the blue arch of
heaven that compares with ours, even if
we have one horse exhibit at the great
Worlds Fair.n

FIGHTING THE GREEKS.
Open Warfare by Fishermen Against the
Authorities.

Open Warfare by Fishermen Against the
Authorities.
Captain Dalton, of the river patrol, came
to the city yesterday to consult with the
Fish Commissioners and procure counsel
to appear in set of cases to come up this
week at Benicia. He reports lively battle
with Greek fishermen at place called "The
Cutoff last Thursday afternoon. He had
been for some time trying to collect the
license from a man named Gregory Aleck,
who is leader among the Greek fishermen
down the river. Aleck had told him to
come to his scow on Thursday and he
would pay the license. Captain Dalton
boarded the scow and made out the license,
but Aleck refused to pay. A controversy
arose, ending in scutfie, during which the
officer was thrown into the river. When
he came to the surface he opened fire upon
the Greek with his revolver, but his aim
was not good while swimming and Aleck
escaped in his boat to the shore, where he
and his friends opened fire on Dalton and
his officers with rifles and shotguns. There
were some twenty Greeks against four off,
GERS, and the latter were compelled to re-
tire, as they were in boat and the fisher
men held the shore and were under cover
On Friday, however, Captain Dalton had
Aleck arrested on charge Of resisting an
officer. The Greeks then had Dalton ar
rested on a charge of assault to murder,
and he gave bonds at Benicia on Saturday
for his appearance to answer the charge.
Captain Dalton says that the Greeks have
become bold and defiant and set up open
warfare against the officials.

WHEEL VS.. HORSE.
A Bicyclist Easily Beats Three Bronehos
in a Race of Ten Miles.

n BlCycnst Easily Beats Ihree BrOnchOS
in Race of Ten Miles.
The bicycle tournament at Snowflake
Park yesterday, in which FIVE of the
worlds champion cyclists participated,
was quite largely attended, and a good ez-
hibition of fast riding was given. The
feature of the performance, however, was
the last race. 1t was for a distance of ten
miles. and the contestants were man on
horseback and one mounted on bicycle
Three horses (bronchos) were held in
readiness-one to be used when the other
gave out.
The start was made with difficulty on
the part of the horse, and the race turned
out 20 be most comical affair. The
bronco would go around about half way all
right. but then he would make a dash for
the fence in the corner of the field, and,
despite the efforts of the rider to turn him,
the animal always got back there. At one
time, in the middle of the contest, one of
the mustangs made g bee-line for the back
stop, and, stopping short, the jockey took
header" against the reporters stand.
He was not injured, however. The "blind-
fold" act was tried on one of the horses.
but the handkerchief soon slipped from
over his eyes and made him as unmanage-
able as ever. The wheelman won the race
by something like three miles.

THAT AWFUL LIE.n
The New Orleans Signal Service Observer
Defines His Position.

Defines His Position.
In the SUNDAY UNION of the 18th of Au-
gust appeared criticism by Signal OBJ
server Barwick upon the following state
ment published by Observer Kerkam, of
New Orleans, in reply to the query of a
correspondent, who asked:
How does the Pacific coast region COM
pare with this section of country as regards
the temperature? Do they have hot waves
such as we experienced from July 14th to
the 23d ?"
In his response thereto Sergeant Kerkam
said in the Meteorological Journal:
THE immediate coast region has a gen.
orally cool, equable temperature, but it is
at times affected by the desert winds of Cal
fornla. There is a case on record, June II,
1859, when the temperature of San Fran
cisco rose from To to 1889, with burning
northwest wind, but fell again to 77o at Z
P. n. OF that date. On the same afternoon
the temperature rose to 1889 at Santa Bar
bara, 1929 at San Diego and 117o at Fort
Yuma"
Sergeant Barwick ridiculed the idea of
the mercury rising to 1899 in San Fran
cisco, where the temperature in summer,
owing to the fresh ocean trade winds, is
such as to render overcoats a comfort, ii not
a necessity, much of the time. Sergeant
kerkam-who seems to be careful 'ob-
server" not only of the meteorology of his
section, but also of the RECORD UNIoN's COL
umns-makes the following explanation

statement, and naturally gave it in good faith

Outs and Ins.

The whirligig of politics has finally
struck the United States Mint in San Fran
cisco, and struck it hard, at that. The
close of the month of August witnessed a
general outpouring of Democrats, and an
equally voluminous inpouring of Republi-
cans. Among the Sacramentans who
stepped down and out, are: Walter B. Fer
raj, helper; George B. Beatty, reducer; P.
L. Shosf (exState Printer), doorkeeper.
There are more removals to be made and
successors selected during September. Very
few changes have yet been made among the
clerical force and heads of departments.
The only Sacramentan reported thus far
fortunate enough to secure position under
the new regime is W. P Eldred, late Bailiff
of the Railroad Commission.

Clean Up Your Premises.

One week from to-day the State Fair
commences, and as there will be thousands
of observant strangers in the city, it would
be well for owners, or occupants, to take a
little extra pains this week in putting their
premises in order A few hours labor on
small yard will do wonders. There are
many vacant lots in which the weeds have
been allowed to grow to an unsightly hight,
and the owners should be compelled to cut
them down. There are officials enough
now TO look after these things, and there is
no excuse for the same being neglected.

in importance. A reporters attention, on
Saturday evening, was attracted by the
large number of ladies who thronged the
spacious parlors. Stepping into the store
he approached one of the handsome at
tendants and asked what are all these
people looking at. Well, replied the
milliner, they are examining one of

TO his hearts content by simply taking a

traction for him, he might take his lunch
along and camp under one of the orange
trees on that side of the park. He will
find these trees literally swarming with the
cottony cushion scale. Some of the insects
are as big SIS peas, and so thick are they
that the trees look as if they had been out
iu suowstorm. If these pests cannot be
kept off the trees in question, the latter
had better be cut down and burned.
