In MEMORY or STEVENS.
THE OAKLAND MONUMENT TO THE LATE
MASTER MECHANIC.
1t is q Handsome and Imposing Work
Progress Upon the Statue for
Sacramento.

The imposing monument which is to be
placed over the grave, in Oakland, of A. J..
Stevens, late Master Mechanic of the South
ern Pacific Company. is having the finish
ing touches put upon it at the marble yards
of Carlaw Bros, in this city.
The erection of this monument, it may be
remembered, was provided for by the en-
ployes of the railroad company throughout
the State. A committee was appointed to
take charge of the matter, and subscriptions
solicited. A lively contest was had over
the question of location of the monument,
Sacramento and Oakland being the princi-
pal competitors. Oakland finally proved
victorious, principally because of Mr..
Stevens grave being located in that city.
1t was not long afterward. though, that the
railroad employees of Sacramento started
another subscription for the erection of
statue of Mr.. Stevens in this city, and the
latter is now in course of construction.
Carlaw Bros. received the contracts for
building both monuments.

Matt F Johnson, has sued James M. Con-
drey for 81 200, which sum she claims to be
Justly due her from defendant for the care
of his two children and for money ex-
pended for their keeping, etc. Some weeks
ago the RECORD UNION published a state
ment of the facts upon which this suit is
based. Condrey is and has been for many
years engaged in steamboatiDg on the Sac

About eight years ago his wife and their
two children went to Central America on a
visit to Mrs Condrey's mother, and while
there another child was born to them.
During her absence Condrey obtained di-
vorce, and subsequently Mrs. Condrey
died.
The plaintiff in this case is a sister of
Mrs. Condrey, and she took charge OF the
latter's children and cared for them, re-
turning here with them some months ago.
In the meantime Condrey had again mar
ried. Miss Gardner alleges that he took
his children, but has refused all her de-
mands for pay for her services in caring for
them and tor moneys expended in their
behalf.

NIP AND TUCK.
San Francisco Defeats Stockton in Close
and WeIl-Played Game.


and Well-Played Game.
STOCKTON, October 19th.-The San Fran
ciscos defeated the Stocktons to-day, in a
well-played and closely-contested game, by
left the grounds in bad condition, and the
mud interfered greatly with the running,
and not base was stolen in the game.
Finn had intended to use Clarke in the
box, but owing to the small attendance he
decided to reserve him for the Sacramento
game. Meegan proved good substitute.
He was hit safely but seven times, and al
lowed no bases on balls.
Chase pitched great game for the Stock
tons. He was sized for nine hits, but some
of them were very scratchy and on good
ground would have been fielded. He sent
but two men to first on balls, and struck
out six men, among them being P. Sweeney,
Stockwell and Shea.
The Stocktons made their only run in
the fourth, Howard hitting for single and
scoring on Ebright's double. San Fran
cisco made two runs in the sixth. with one
man out. Stockwell got first on balls, Per-
rier followed with a hit, P. Sweeney was
retired at first, but G. Sweeney hit for
single. scoring Stockweil and Perrier.
Donohue was manifestly unfair in his
decision to the Stocktons, but probably did
his best Ebright and Shea, at short, played
great ball. Stockton should have won the
game easily. Three times the first batter
up reached third, but all were thrown out
when trying to reach home. Buckley
made some fine running catches. The

SAN Francisco, October 19th.-The game
was called to-day at the end of the eighth
inning, on account of darkness, the score
standing to 0 in favor of the Oaklands-
The Sacramentos were not in the game at
all. They could not hit Wehrle even
little bit, and their safe batting was widely
scattered. Twice they got men as far as
third, but the batters were unable to
bring them in. Knell was wild at times,
and kept Roxburg dancing.
The only error made by the Colonies was
by Stallings. who mufed foul fly.
Hughes showed himself good man at
third. His error was excusable. Good
enough made some pretty running catches;
KnelI was not hit hard but errors served

The day was cold and disagreeable, with
the diamond in soggy condition. The

Foul Play Suspected Regarding the Old
Hermit's Death.
Tribune, October 19th.l


Dixon has more and better sidewalks
than any other town of its size in the State.
Hog shipments from this point are very
lively at present, several carloads going out
every day.
The unusual plentifulness of deer, rab-
bits and quail in the foothills is no doubt
due to the late fires in the mountains, dur-
ing which good feeding grounds were in
many instances totally destroyed.
It is reported that the owner of the Nc
Cune g. Garnett tract of land, near Maine
Prairie, will erect grain warehouses on the
present site of Plummer's Landing, survey
q plot into town lots and found a new
town. There will be grain enough sown
on tule lands this year to insure consider
able business for the proposed warehouses.
Schooners. such as are now engaged in the
carrying trade on Cache slough, find no
difficulty in navigating Hass slough, as far
up as Plummer's Landing.
Since the dead body of the hermit was
found near his lonely cabin OH the bank Of
Cache slough, several weeks, many curious
visitors have examined the premises. The
Coroner's jury returned verdict of suicide,
but there are many who believe the man
was murdered, and that his body and gun
were purposely arranged to give color to
the theory of suicide. II has been discov-
cred that the strange old man had bee
farm and also cultivated the tobacco plant.
Many curious and interesting relics have
been picked up around his hut.

After the letter above printed had been

They drove after him, but he escaped

On Thursday couple of men who had

warning signs, started for Sacramento,
from which place they came, by way of the
road along the railroad track. They got
along very well until they met the train,
when the animals they were driving be-
came unnanageable and jumped of the
grade. Fortunately for the occupants, the
accident happened near the road that leads
to the American river bridge, or they might
have both been killed. As it was, the oc-
cupants were bruised up considerably, the
driver spraining one of his knees and hav-
ing big cash cut in his face. His COM
panion was bruised up somewhat and his
clothes badly torn. The horses were unin-
jured, but the carriage had to be tied up
with ropes before they could proceed on
their journey.

BOLOGNA TOM"
He Tries to Collect Debt by Trouncing
His Debtor.

He Tries to Collect Debt by Trouncing
His Debtor.
A Chinaman who travels under the
weird appellation Of Bologna Tom," and
who works on neighboring fruit ranch,
came to town last night and called upon
one All Fow, who owed him $50.
1t was not the first time that Tom had
demanded the payment of this same debt.
but it appears that all prior attempts to
collect it had proved futile.
As usual, Fow made several excuses, and
instructed Tom to call around to-mor-
row." Tom, however, explained that he
wanted to take his best girl out "to-mor-
row." and would not have time to call
around; therefore he would rather have
the money then and there.
Fow tried cajolery, but in vain. Tom
was memorable. Fow then tried threats
and thereby got into trouble.
Tom seized the recalcitrant debtor by the
two ears and bumped his head against a
brick wall. Then he tweaked his nose,
floor and jumped on him. All this Fow
took without remonstrance, but when Tom
essayed to turn the debtors pockets inside
out with the hope of finding the amount of
the debt, Fow, too, became demonstrative.
He dove his hands beneath his blouse and,
producing a six-shooter, leveled it at the
persistent creditor. Tom suddenly remem-
bered that he had business elsewhere, and
forthwith proceeded to attend to tit with
Fow close upon his heels. The race was a
merry one and large crowd of heathens
and Caucasians Joined in, as also did several
police officers.
Tom, realizing that matters were getting
tropical, eluded his pursuer and left him to
the mercy of the crowd.
The crowd, not knowing what the real
trouble was, and believing that Fow was
some murderous highlander who had slain
some fellow countryman, set up a great
uproar and increased their speed after the
fleeing and screaming Mongol.
Down l street to Fourth, to j, to Third.
through an alley TO Second and back to ]
tore the ever-increasing crowd, yelling like
demons, and gradually gaining on the still
screaming heather. The latter only led
them by about thirty yards, when officer
Dolan whirled around corner and grabbed
him. Officers Farrell and Carroll were not
far behind, and the three peace guardians,
surrounded by the surging and painting
mob. marched the supposed murderer to
the City Prison, where he was charged
with disturbing the peace.
