Suey Kay Accuses All Tong of Shooting
Him-His Story Not Credited.

Suey Kay Accuses All Tong of Shooting
Him-His Story Not Credited.
On yesterday Suey Kay, the Chinamar
who was shot the other evening by 8
countryman on Third and l streets, said
that he knew that one All Tong, a China
man who worked around in different resi-
dences, was the party that shot him.
Officer Carroll accordingly wen. to the
Congress Hall Saloon and arrested the
Chinaman. He was brought before the
injured man, and the latter claimed to
positively identify him as the one who
did the shooting.
The arrested man, however, says he had
nothing whatever to do with the affair
and remarked Me think he Clay"
The officers do not think that All Tong
is the party wanted at all. 1t is said that
dlferent Cinnamon visiting the sick man
have induced him to swear that All Tong
did the shooting, so as to have revenge
on some one, if not upon the guilty party
Another theory is that Suey Kay has
grudge against Tong, and finding that the
real party cannot be apprehended, has con-
GUIDED to do the next best thing and lay the
blame on Tong.
Later in the evening All Tong was again
uoioio Lie "ouhueu man, anu "Sain
the latter said positively that he was the
one who shot him. He still declared that
he would get well. and refused to make an
ante-mortem statement.
Chief Lee does not believe that All Tong
IS the guilty party, but will of course hold
him awaiting further developments. He
thinks the police have the right party in
view, and vigorous search is being made
for him.
Seuey Kay isFesting easily, and in reply
to reporter s'iuquiry last night, said he
was feeling better. Although the City
Physician regards his case as hopeless, it
may be that the bullet. in its wanderings
through the Chinaman's interior, pene-
trated no vital part. His firm resolution
to get well Is also in his favor, and as he
appears TO be of robust constitution, there
is remote possibility that he may recover.

Erstwhile there dwelt in this city less
fair than frail damsel known in police cir
Giles as Maud Silverstein. She belonged to
that class of operators designated as panel
thieves, and some tire ago was forced to
leave the city. a couple of days ago she
returned, but before she could get her par.
lor into such attractive shape as to catch
the species of flies for whom her trap is
always set, the police swooped down upon
her and rushed her into the cooler on a
charge of displaying herself at the window
of Second-street den.

GOING AHEAD.
The Valuable Improvements Recently
Made to the Capital Hotel.

The Valuable Improvements Recently
Made to the Capital Hotel.
The work of remodeling the interior of
the Capital Hotel, which Messrs. Blessing
d Guthrie inaugurated some time ago, is
now completed, excepting some finishing
touches in the way of painting, whitening,
etc. These Improvements being almost
wholly in the rear, their magnitude is un-
known except to those who have viewed
the work. They consist chiefly of an en-
tire remodeling of that portion of the he
tel in the rear of the front tier of rooms.
Two brick walls, three stories in hight
above the basement, and running back 106
feet, have been erected on either side of the
courtyard, and the rooms opening thereon
have been enlarged. There is now not a
dark room in the house, every one opening
either on the street, or the spacious court
yard. In order to get sufficiently solid
foundation, 1t was deemed advisable to
sink down eighteen feet below the street
level. The basement has been filled in for
several feet. and all the piers have been
raised and provided with iron caps 16x16x2
inches. The new arrangement has greatly
enlarged the kitchen, which is now one of
the most roomv and convenient of which
any LUIGI Sdl UOdol.
Bath and toilet rooms supplied with the
most modern conveniences have been pro-
vided on each floor, the ceilings and walls
of all the rooms and halls scraped and
whitened, and all the interior woodwork
repainted. The plumbin throughout is of
the most massive character. The pipes are
all of iron, and the traps of the most i'm
proved inventions. The escape pipes are
of large dimensions and run up to the roof,
giving the entire structure the best possible
ventilation.
On the Seventh-street side the old dining
room has been divided up into into offices,
etc. Two of these (adjoining one another)
have been engaged by physician one will
be reserved by the proprietors for use as
sample room, and another will be fitted cd
as billiard-parlor. In the rear of these
rooms, and convenient to the hotel office,
has been constructed large, airy wash
room and series OF closets, etc., for the use
OF both tenants and guests.
These Improvements will be greatly ap-
preciated by the patrons of the house, and
are creditable to the enterprise of its pro-
prletors, whose expense will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Messrs. Blessing
and Guthrie have lived long in Sacramento;
they are competent to judge intelligently of
its prospects, and the fact that they are dis
posed to lay out their money in improve
ments of so expensive a character should
serve to stimulate others in that direction.
They have in contemplation other plans by
which the exterior of their hotel will be
vastly improved in an architectural point of
view.

The deceased had torn his overalls in
strips and made rope about five feet long.

was securely fastened to the limb of the
tree. Judging from the position in which
the body was when discovered, the man
must have climbed up into the tree placed
the rope around his neck and then swung
himself off the limb. The rope was pulled
tightly around his throat, and it is believed
that his neck was not broken, but that he
died from strangulation.

strangled to dead, his features were not dis

There were no papers on the body, nor

State Superintendent of Public Instruction:
Replying to the inquiry of William NJ.
Maxwell, of Knights Ferry, submitted by
you to me, | have to say that, under Section
1897 of the Political Code, the polls at the
election of School Trustees should have
been kept open four hours, but it seems
that the notices posted specified that the
polls would be open between the hours of
l and 4 O'Clock. This would be only three
hours. The voters, therefore, who voted
between and o'clock properly voted,
and the election of Trustees cannot be set
aside on this account The notice would
be good as specifying the initial hour for
commencement of voting, and the law sup
plies the terminal hour, which would be 5
o'clock

much money with him, but the scoundrels
robbed him of his Mexican war discharge

to him. The probability is that the gar
rioters have thrown the document away, as
useless to them, and whoever finds it
should return it to the police.
