colony were subpenaed as witnesses in be-
| half of the uncle's demand. They all re-
lated instances of the girl having COM
planned to them of being beaten and ILL
treated by her parents, and the uncle gave
similar testimony.
1t looked like clear case in the face of
so much testimony.
But when the testimony for the petit
toner was closed yesterday forenoon, the
whole Courtroom was thrown into state
of confusion by the girl taking the witness
stand, and testifying that she dearly loved
her father and mother, that they never had
beaten her. nor had ever treated her with
anything but kindness.
The colony of witnesses gasped and
stared at the girl in amazement.
Judge Van Fleet was little ratified"
too, but finally recovered and asked the
girl if she expected him to believe that all
of the witnesses who had been examined
had not told the truth. With toss of
her head and a defiant glance at the wit
nesses the young lady assured the Court
that none of them had told the truth"
The attorney for the girls uncle promptly
announced to the Court that the application
for letters of guardianship would be with
drawn.
Before permitting this action, however,
Judge Van Fleet took occasion to remark
that it was evident to him that the girl was
guilty of telling falsehoods. She had either
lied to her uncle and the other witnesses
regarding her treatment at home, or else
she had sworn falsely on the witness
stand

Yesterdays and Last Evenings Confer
ence Proceedings.
Yesterdays session of the United Breth-
rem Conference began in the morning by
conservation meeting.
A new Field of Labor was constituted in
San Diego county and called "Oceanside."
Various important officers were elected,
and interesting papers were presented, fol-
lowed by earnest discussions on Christian
Missions, Publishing Interests" "Educa-
tion," Sabbath Schools and Temper
ance.'
Rev. Brace, of the Evangelical Associa-
ton, was introduced to the Conference.
A committee was appointed to confer
with committees from other Conferences as
to the publication of coast paper.
In the evening Rev. G. P. Tyndall pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, occupied the
platform ana led in the opening prayer.
Professor Alice Gingerich, of San Joa-
quin Valley College, presided at the organ.
The annual sermon was preached by
Bishop J. W. Holt, D. D., from the text
Acts Xxx, 2S: Take heed, therefore, to
yourselves and to the flock over which the
Holy Ghost hath made you overseers."
The ministry was shown by the speaker
primarily, TO be not a profession, but a
divine calling. A minister has two lines
of duty-the care of himself and the care of
others. In the first line of work we need
supreme love for Christ and love for men,
and self-surrender must come under both
these loves. Heart, mind and life must be
full of the Word of God. See to it that you
are annointed of God. As to the fiocks,
the supreme aim is the salvation of the
people. I'd have conventions or I'd die.
To do this you must get the ear, the mind
and the heart of the people Have dread
of being failure, and if you fail blame
yourself. Put your all into the work.

Resolution of Thanks

Henry A. Rightmeyer, a well known
employe in the molders' department at
the railroad shops, died in Folsom on
Thursday last, after brief illness. He had
many warm friends among the molders at
the railroad shops in this city, who wished
to pay last tribute of respect to their
former esteemed shop-mate by attending
his funeral in body.
The facts being made known to the rail-
road managers, special car was placed at
their disposal and taken to and from Fol-
som without expense to the employees. In
recognition of this courtesy, the molders
appointed committee to draw up reso-
lutions expressive of their appreciation
of the favor, which committee composed
OF James R. Taylor, James McMuray and
John Hautzman) have reported as follows
ReSolued, That we, the molders employed BY

ADJUSTMENTS,

At the Metropolitan last evening Miss
Nellie McHenry for the first time essayed
the presentation of a melodrama, or rather
of one of those plays that deals with life in
California in the early days, the story
mingling the tragic and the humorous
oddly. "Wildflower" has at least the merit
of being new, and it is also novel 1t is
simply the story of California girl whose
father wastes his substance in gaming and
impoyerishes his family. His daughter
joins fortunes with a strolling PLAYER TO
OBTAIN subsistence. 4 plot to rob her
father of fortune that is his due is aeci.
dentally discovered by the daughter; she
assumes numerous DISCUSSES by the aid of
her player companion and his convenient
theatrical wardrobe, and tracks and foiIs
the conspirators, precious pair of rascals,
and saves her father from assassination,
and restores him his own. 1t is a trans
psrent plot. The play does not awaken
enthusiasm. but serves to enable Miss Nc.
Henry to establish her versatility and
prove that with substar drama in

The Police Judge Mistaken by a Tar
Flat Lamb for Boss Buckley.
A cripple by the name of Ed. Burke was
in the Police Court yesterday, charged
with disturbing the peace. Burke had
filed up with liquor the other evening, and
it began to get in its work when he got
opposite the Capital Hotel. He yelled
frightfully and used words that would put
Satan to shame. Officer Stafford brought
him in, and yesterday he was in the dock.
He pleaded guilty, but asked permission to
say few words. 1t was granted him, ard
then he began a"windmill' speech. He
talked necessarily for fully half an hour,
giving an account of his travels, etc. Adj
dressing Judge Buckley Whom he mistook
for Boss" Buckley, he said: Judge
Buckley, I'm glad you got your Office, and
you bet / worked hard for you. Me and
Kearney made things howl about Wood
wards Gardens during the campaign, and
| am glad TO see we put you where You are
now, Judge. God bless you for your luck,
and If you'll only let me go I'll get right
out of town and never come back"
The Judge said that on the strength OF
old political acquaintance he would have
to let Mr.. Burke off this time. When the
order was made discharging the latter he
was profuse in his thanks, and meeting
Chief Lee in the door, he exclaimed :
Why, how are you, Chief I'm glad to
see you're looking so fat "

OF his death was pneumonia.
Several Eastern men were up in these
parts last week visiting Folsom and Orange
Vale. They were very favorably impressed
with the two places and predicted brilliant
future for Orange Vale and Folsom. That
their expressions were made in good faith
was demonstrated by the investment of
some OF their coin in Orange Vale property.
One of the ten-acre plats that are planted
with orange trees was purchased from
the colony company, and one of the
implanted tracts was bought and the COM
pany instructed TO plant the same for them.
They were so well pleased with the colony

Received Last Night.
The announcement that the Pacific Gun
Club of this city, who won the Seiby trophy
at San Jose couple of days ago, would ar
rive home last evening occasioned an i'm
mense crowd of enthusiastic Sacramentans
to gather at the depot.
The $50 train, on which were the trophy
winners, was nearly an hour late, but the
crowd waited patiently until its arrival.
As soon as the headlight of the train was
seen coming across the bridge, the Hussar
Band struck up lively air, and the crowd
cheered Justify as the cars rolled into the
depot.
The appearance of the marksmen with
their trophy was the signal Tor another
wild outourst upon the part of the people,
and many crowded around the victors to
grasp their hands and congratulate them.
After ten or fifteen minutes had been
consumed in this manner, the marksmen,
their friends and Misunderstanding nearly
500 in all-formed in line, and headed by
the band, marched up into town and
through the principal streets, winding up

will undoubtedly do much better work in
the next game he plays. Over a dozen of
the San Frapciscos had two strikes called
on them during the game, but they almost
invariably hit the bali after the catcher had
come up behind the bat. A little more
confidence in his catcher will improve
Knell's delivery, and he will no doubt give
good service to the Sacramentos. He was
given very rank support in yesterdays
game, and the fact that not a run was
earned bears out the statement.
Gagus seemed 10 be the player that the
audience were after. Whenever he made
an error the spectators would fairly howl
at him. His very graceful miss of short
fly fall in the second inning let in two
runs.
Meegan pitched as of old, and to his ex-
cellent work and command of the ball is
due the San Franciscos' victory. He al
lowed but six hits and he kept these well
distributed. Instead Of proving to be "pie"
Tor the Sacramentos he showed them that
they were pastry for him. Veach was the
only player able to do anything with him.
SWEET caught a fine game and accepted
eleven chances without committing an
error. A noticeable feature was his throw
ing out at second base of two of the Sacra.
mentos who were trying to steal bag.
LOHndn WAS ulSaDleQ IN the second in
ming and retired in favor of Roxburg. A
swift ball thrown by Knell struck Lehman
on the thumb and dislocated that member.
Shea played short in magnificent style.
Peter Sweeney was familiar to old base
ball habitues, and seemed to have changed
very little since he left this State. He is
all right for nextyear, having been engaged
to play first base for the season with the
Cincinnati club.
LEWIS phenomenal fly catch of Roberts
long hit was decidedly the feature of the
game. After long run he threw out his
left arm and the ball stuck in the out
stretched hand. Roberts would undoubt-
eddy have scored home-run if Levy had
not so cleverly stopped the ball.
Veach did some good work at first, and
piled up eleven put outs. He made fine
running catch of foul ball in the sixth
inning. Selna's fiy-catch in the same
inning is also worthy of mention.
Mike Fisher played as extra man for the
visitors, and was presented by some ad-
mlrer with huge cabbage.
Sheridan umpired the game, and as
usual gave general satisfaction.
Following is the score:

SHOT DOWN IN TnE STREET.
The Second Chapter in a Murderous
Georgia Feud.


AUGUSTA (Ga), October l2th.-The sec
began with the shooting of C. e. McGregor
in his own yard Friday night, December
23, 1887, was enacted upon the streets of
Warrentown, Ga, to-day, in the killing of ].
NJ. w. Cody by c. +. McGregor
Cody had just ridden in from the coun-
try, and after alighting from his buggy
started to walk up the street.
McGregor, who saw him from across the
street, crossed over, and drawing revolver,
fred three shots at Cody, who died in a
short time.
Cody had been indicted by the Grand
Jury for an assault with intent to murder
McGregor, and the case was set for trial at
the October Court, which is held in War
rentown this week.
Cody was placed under bonds of 81, 500
to be present at this Court, but when the
Court convened Cody was not present. and
although bench-warrant was issued for
his arrest he could not be found.
To-day, after the Court had adjourned,
he rode into town. Major McGregor. after
killing him, said to an Associated Press
reporter: When Cody deliberately evaded
the law and Haunted his impudent defiance
in my face it was more than human nature
could stand. If the Courts could not pun
ish this man for trying to assassinate me /
determip ed to do it.
McGregor is the railroad agent at Warren
town and has represented his county in the
Legislature. Cody was q prominent citizen
of the place, worth 5000 and widely con-
nected throughout the country.
