At the afternoon session communica-
ton was received from the Sacramento
Typographical Union asking that the Board
make an allowance of $50 for defraying a
part of the funeral expenses of James
O'Sullivan, who recently died without
friends and was buried at the Union ex-
pense. The matter was referred to the
Hospital Committee.
Supervisor Ross brought up the subject
of new county maps, and made a motion
that the County Assessor be authorized to
do the work, receiving recompense from
the county.
Supervisor Bates was opposed to any
funds being used for the purpose, and said
that the Assessor should do the work for
the salary he is now getting. The county
was now furnishing him an extra clerk,
and he thought they were making enough
wages.
Supervisors Tebbets and Ross held that
the county had always heretofore paid ex-
ira for the work and should do it now, as
the task Of preparing the map was hard
one.
Supervisors Tebbets, Black and Ross
exchanged significant glances, and the roll
being called, Ross motion prevailed and
the Board adjourned for the day.

" Taffy On a Stick"

So many hard things have been said of
the Sacramento ball-players in the last
week that the following from the Stockton
Independent of yesterday will be like balm
to their wounded feelings
Sacramento need not feel badly about
it, however, for she has good club, and
when the men get used to one another they
will settle down to work in a style which
will keep them in the fight till the end of
the season. Hapeman is good pitcher,
and got little the worst of it yesterday on
called balls, although Sheridan evidently
tried to do the fair thing by both sides.
He is a good umpire, and does not often
make mistake. When he does, it is an
honest one, which is the very reason why

Seeks to End His Life.

seeks To End his iffes
Officer Rider last evening found man
about 60 years of age lying in pool of
blood, in a vacant lot in the vicinity of
Fifteenth and D streets, with an American
44-caliber bulldog pistol by his side and a
large hole in his head just over and little
in advance of the right ear.
The man was still alive, and was taken
to the Receiving Hospital, where he re-
vived sufficiently to give his name as o.
Rosinquest. He admitted having shot
himself with suicidal intent, and rather in
coherently intimated that he thought his
mind was affected. All that could be
learned from him was that he arrived from
Oregon day or two ago. His only effects
were an old silver watch and a handful of
pistol cartridges.
The unfortunate man was sent to the
County Hospital, where it was found that
the bullet had ranged forward and down.
ward and passed into the mouth. An effort
was made at late hour to learn whether
he was still alive, but telephone connec-
ton could not be established.
