ANOTHER HORROR.
A Child Has His Leg Crushed Through
His Recklessness.

His Recklessness.
II is only few weeks since little boy
was beheaded while trying to climb on a
railroad train that was coming into the
city, and his terrible death was held up by
the press as warning to parents not to
allow their little ones to indulge in such
dangerous pastimes. But the warning
seems TO have had little effect, at least upon
the children, for another accident, scarcely
less shocking. occurred yesterday, by which
a bow of seven years lost a leg and came
near being decapitated.
1t seems that shortly before eleven o clock
in the forenoon, Walter Perkiss, the un-
fortunate child referred too, had gone
down to the steamer-landing to see the boat
start for San Francisco. and in the mean
time gravel train had come down from
Folsom and stopped just in front of the
landing. Some time afterward one of the
boys crossed over to the other side of the
train, but Walter was just in the act of
crawling under one of the cars when the
train started and his left leg was crushed
under the first wheel.
As soon as his leg was caught be fell I'M
derneath the car, his head falling across the
opposite rail, and but for the wonderful
presence of mind of his little brother death
would have been the result The latter
shouted TO the unfortunate boy to keep
under the car, at the same time showing
him back to the middle of the track.
The cars were stopped as quickly as pos
sible and the little fellow taken to his
home. where the leg was amputated about
halfway between the knee and thigh. The
general belief is that the poor child cannot
survive his injuries.
The mother of the boy is a hard working
woman, with no other resources except her
own labor to support family of several
children. II is said that the train-hands
had warned the boys several times against
running beneath the cars.

beauty for the purpose, being several hun

open-air concert in another part of the

uniformed branch OF the Odd Fellows or.

The excursionists had a delightful dav.
and but very few incidents of an unpleas.

LEAGUE LOGIC.
Scarcity of Good Pitchers-sacramento
Is All Right.


The California League is in a sad way for
pitchers. The San Franchises have but
one upon whom they can rely, as Incell
has been batted hard and often, and Nee
gan will have TO do the bulk of the work
until another man is secured. 1t will prob
ably not be long until Lorrigan is seen in a
San Francisco uniform. Shonld that club
secure his services, and put strong PLAYER
on third, they will be hard to beat.
The Oakland Club has also but one man
who IS pitching winning ball for them. but
he is good one. Coughlin has pitched six
games and won five of them, while Fudger
mas pitched six games and lost five of
them Under these circumstances Colonel
Robinson is also on the hunt for mate to
Coughlln. II he gets him the Bay end of
me League VIII be very strong. and close,
hard hight can be looked for whenever
either of them go on to the field. Robin
son is on still hunt.
The Stockton club is very deep lin the
soup at present. They are torn up by in
ternal dlssensionS, and are also in very
Dad way for pitchers. This is probably
only temporary, as Hunolt will soon be
able to go into the box again. and even If
he shouldn't prove effective against all the
clubs, he should be retained for use against
the San Franciscos, who can do nothing
with him. Harper is wild and unsteady
ana is not winning pitcher. while Baker
the star, is having n very hard time. the
Stockton enthusiasts expecting him to win
every game he pitches and, as he is also
under suspicion of being liable TO slide TO
Newark at any time, he and his constitu-
ents are decidedly unhappy, and it is said
they are also quietly looking around for a
good, steady, reliable box man.
Sacramento is in good shape. They will
probably loom up with another pitcher
soon, but his name and present where
abouts have not been made public.
The game scheduled for July 18th. be-
tween the Sacramento and Stockton clubs.
will be played off in this city on next Tues
day, April 30th, and as Sacramento and
stockton are now in the rear it will be
struggle to see which will carry the target.
which Is becoming burden too heavy for
the Capital city club to bear much longer.
To-DAYs LEAGUE GAME.
This afternoon the Oakands and Sacra-
mentos will cross bats at Snowflake Park.
and both clubs will put forth all their eff
forts 10 win. Sacramento is especially de-
sirous of leading Oakland, and PROPOSES to
give the latter hard tussle to-day. Burke
and krehmyer will do the box-work for
the home team, and Coughlin and Hardie
Will officiate for the visitors. The game
will be called at $3.50 sharp. Trains will
leave the depot at $50 and 3:15, and the
fare for the round trip will be Is cents.
The respective hines will play in the fol-
lowing order:

John T. Pike, of this city-whose wife is
a sister OF Dwight w. Hackett, editor and
proprietor of the Napa Reporter, now miss
ing from his home-called at this Office
last evening and stated that nothing had
vet been heard of the missing man. 1t
seems that on Tuesday morning last Mr..
Hackett told his wife he would not be home
at lunch. Then he went with friends to
San Francisco, leaving word in his Office
that he would be home in the evening.
He was seen at the races that afternoon,
out left the track early, stating to friends
that be had to catch the o'clock train.
His absence causes uneasiness, as no reason
can be assigned why he is missing. His
home relations were very happy. The
affair is perfect mystery to his family and
friends He owed some money, but his
credit was good, and his wife has plenty in
her own right to help him out of any f.
nancial difficulty. Mr.. Hackett formerly
published paper in Woodland, where his
wife's relatives reside. His father is dem

THE MINERAL BUREAU.

The Appropriation Therefor Held to be
in Proper Form.
1t was announced some weeks ago that
Controller Dunn had declared illegal the
Act appropriating 100000 for the support
of the State Mining Bureau, on the ground
that it was not specific regarding the fund
from which the money was to be paid. The
matter was laid before Attorney General
johnson, and he has rendered an opinion
therein in which he differs radically with
the Controller. The opinion reads:
SACRAMENTO, April 25, 1882
5. HelCenJetdk ESQ, Trustee State Mining Bureau
San Frdncfsco-MY DEAR SIR: have examined
the Act making an appropriation for the sup
port and maintenance of the State Mining
years. approved March A. 1889, and have ar
rived at the following conclusions:
F1rst-lt is not necessary that the Act should
contain q direction to the Controller to draw
his warrant in express terms. but an implied
authorization is sufficient, such as is contained
in the words: THAT at least 20 per cent of the
appropriation shall be Used for geological work
In the field, and not more than one-half of the
said sum appropriated under this Act shall be
expended during the ty-frst fiscal year"
This all necessarily implies that the Controller
must draw his warrant.
Second-lt is not necessary that the Act
should say that the money named as appropri-
ated is appropriated out of the general fund
or out oil moneys not otherwise specifically APP
proprlated The appropriation of 100000 is
specific appropriation, and the object is stated.
Although no fund is expressly stated in the
Act from the necessity of the case the appropri-
alton must come from the general fund. Ii
cannot be any specific fund, for there is no
authorization of the Legislature to divert it, and
to divert money from specific fund would
require an Act of the Legislature. The general
fund consists of money received into the treas
ury and not specifically appropriated to any
other fund. The appropriation is made by the
Act; what is necessarily implied is the same as
expressed, and the money must therefore come
from the general fund. The case of Redding
VS.. Bell "A CAL 1889 does not apply, for the rea-
son that in that case there was no specific ap-
propriaticE. rs in this case, and, besides, that
was case of mandamus. where, of course. it
was necessary to allege in the complaint that
there was money not otherwise appropriated by
law out of which the amount in question was
directed 10 be paid.
Third-The appropriation is available.
Very truly yours, g. A. JOHNSON.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
If the Attorney-Genersl's opinion in this
case prevails, i will affect favorably several
other Acts of the last Legislature, which
Controller Dunn has held to be fatally in
formal.

for at no other season is the body so susceptible
to benefit from medicine. The peculiar purify

effects of mild weather. Every year increases
the popularity of Hoods Sarsaparilla, for it is
just what people need at this season. 1t is the
ideal spring medicine. If you have never tried
it, do so, and you will be convinced of its pc
culiar merit.
