SACRAMENTO BOYS.
Two of Them Create Scene at the Paris
Hippodrome.


Hippodrome.
A. G. Hinkson, Jr., the fifteen.year
son of Add. G. Hinkson, who is travelling
in Europe, in letter to his father, written
from Paris, says:
Charley Mier and I, in company with
several other American boys, visited the
Hippodrome last evening. 1t was a vast
amphitheatre, with seating capacity for
eight thousand persons. During the per-
Torrance, the Frenchman took every oppor-
tunity, when any act called for applause, to
cry 'Vive Ia la Belle France, and 1t made us
think of our beloved country, and we were
Just aching for a show to yell back at the
genteel Frenchmen, when two young
Americans rode into the arena on bicycles
each bearing in his hand an American flag
This was too much for US, and we could
not remain quiet any longer, and our little
party all jumped up and waving our hats
cried, 'Viye la Amerique,' and Three
cheers for the American tiagp
when the actors heard the Yankee yell,
they became enthused, and one of them
jumped on the others shoulders and
proudly waving his flag, as they rode
around the arena, shouted 'Vive la Ameri-
que and the shouts reechoed from sll
parts of the vast arena, and for time it
seemed as if America had captured France.
Many Frenchmen tried to drown our yells,
but failed, as you know the average Ameri-
can has good lungs when cheering for our
flag.
"Our demonstration of patriotism was
taken good naturally by the Frenchman,
and our little band was the object of great
interest the rest of the evening. The per-
Torrance concluded by the band playing
Yankee Doodle The Red, White and
Blue aud the 'Marsiaisellei.'

THE BELLIGERENTs.
The Plant-Coy Vendetta Ventilated in
Justice Henry's Court.

The Plant-Coy Vendetta Ventilated in
Justice Henry's Court.
Justice Henrys Court was occupied all
of yesterday afternoon in the examination
of F. H. Coy, whom H. II. Plant had
charged with assault with deadly weapon.
The prosecution was conducted by District
Attorney Bruner and the defendant was
represented by Frank Estabrook.
The complaining witness went on the
stand and told his story, as already pub
lished, of what occurred between himself
and Coy at Oak Park few days ago.
Superintendent Beck of the Central
Street Railway Company was next called.
He did not see all of the fight, and could
not tell very much about it.
A very straight story of the affair was
told by George Snider, the company's car
penter, who saw the whole business He
said the men were quarreling when they
got there, and, as soon as they got off the
car, went to fighting. He saw Coy strike a
blow. Plant then thrust his hand behind
him. After that they clinched and soon
fell, and he helped to separate them. He
charged Plant with attempting to draw a
weapon, but on examining him found he
was not armed. After the fight was over
he (witness) found a toothbrush and a dag
ger lying on the ground, which Coy claimed,
and they were handed to him.
On his cross-examination witness was
not so positive that Coy struck Plant with
his cane before the latter put his hand be-
hind him as if to draw weapon.
After taking some more testimony the
further hearing of the case was continued
until this afternoon, as the complaining
witness had to go to San Francisco.

SAVED A LIFE.
A yigilant Officer Prevents Desperat
Case of Suicide.

a tlS1lanI Ofncer prevents a desperate
Case of Suicide.
Officer Dolan was the proudest man in
town last night And well he may have
been, for he is credited with having saved
fellow-being (and a fellow-countryman)
from frightful death. The rescued indi-
yidual is Mike O'Keefe, and after saving
his life the officer landed him in the lock-
up on charge of drunk.
The story is that at about "the hour when
churchyards yawn and graves give Up their
dead"-or words to that effect-the officer
was traversing the dark and lonesome
places along Front street, when he heard a
low voice proceeding from the shadows of
some box-cars. He stole up behind one of
the cars, with catlike tread, and listened
The voice came again:
"Yis, be me sowl, Oil do it The wur
ruld possissis no more jiys for mel Me
last clnt is gone, an phwat is there to live
for il poor diyil can't get dhrop ov the
craythur?"
The voice became hushed in what
sounded like a sob, and the officer was
about to make move when it again broke
out:
The thrain is comm anil be here in
minute. Oi'll lay me head an the rail, an
soon poor Moike'll be out o. this wurruld
o.. thrubble. Fare We will, all o. yez. an
may the blissin O. God be an ye! Yell
niver be thrubbled more wild Moike
O'Keefel''
A figure staggered out Of the darkness
and made toward the railroad track, and
the officers heart beat quick and fast, for
only few rods away came a midnight
freight train laundering up the levee. The
mysterious man was about to commit sui
eide and the officer dashed after him.
The worldweary and would. be suicide saw
him, and broke into a run toward the
train. The officer let out his reserved
speed and reached the man as
he was about to throw himself
before the iron juggernaut, and grasping
him by the coat-tail yanked him back Just
as the locomotive dashed by.
This is the story as fully as could be
learned at late hour last night. The Of
ficer had returned to his beat, and could
not be seen to verify the alleged facts, and
Mike was too drunk to talk. Atall events,
officer Dolan is said to have saved the
mans life and if it did not happen pre-
cisely as stated, it does not make much
difference.

NOT AN ANGEL.
The Police Give Kitty Crowley Rather
Bad Character.


Bad Character.
Several hours of very valuable time were
taken up yesterday by the Police Court in
trying one Kitty Crowley, nymph du pace,
who has been inhabiting one of the cribs
on Second street, on charge of vagrancy.
There was perfect mob of persons in at
tendance about the Courtroom for an hour
before the Court convened, and it was COM
posed generally of very tough element OF
humanity. 1t looked as if some mighty
athlete had picked up all the different
cribs, and deadfalls, and opium dens be-
tween Front and Fourth, K and NJ streets,
and dumped their occupants out upon the
street and sidewalk in front of the police
station. The prosecution was conducted by
City Attorney Church and Q. L. Jones,
while the defendants cause was championed
by Z. @. Hart.
Officer Harris was the first witness called
by the prosecution. He said he had known
the defendant about three weeks. She lives
at a house of ill.fame on Second street.
Witness, under instructions from the Chief
of Police, told the defendant that she must
leave the city. She said she would leave
in a couple of days, but did not go. Wit
ness called upon her again, and told her
that so many complaints of robberies in
her house were reported that she must
leave the city. She denied having robbed
a certain man on the preceding night, but
later in the day said she would rather give
up the money than be arrested or have to
leave the city She settled with the party
who complained against her, and then said
she refused to be driven out of the city
The witness then related all that he knew
about the defendants manner OF living.
On his cross examination witness ex-
planned to Mr.. Hart his idea of "eive."
He said it was place where men go with
a little money in their pockets and get
robbed of it. In regard to the defendant
be admitted that his knowledge of her
character was gained from hearsay and
general reputation. A woman named
Florence Little has also been an inmate of
the same house in which Kitty Crowley
lived. She was also arrested, but witness
understood she had promised to leave town
and was discharged.
Officer Franks was next called, and testi-
fed to substantially the same facts as the
first witness, except that he had known the
defendant for several years, and conse
quently had longer list of evils charged
up against her.
Several other police officers were called to
testify regarding Miss Crowley's reputation
for chastity, and all had about the same
story to relate. 1t is perhaps unnecessary
to add that none OF them were able to
testify that she had any reputation for
chastity.
At late hour in the afternoon the prose-
cution rested, and the case was continued
till this morning. There is some curiosity
to known what sort of q defense the woman
will make.

ROLLING PALACES.
New Cars for the california on Wheels
Exhibit.

rev Cars Tor the "CaI1fOrnfA on Whe0lSJ
Exhibit.
The new California on Wheels cars
have been nearly completed at the railroad
shops in this city. They were run out of
the paint-shop yesterday, and presented
very attr Ictive appearance. Beside the two
cars newly fitted up for the exhibit, the
dining car of the train that recently re-
turned from tour of the Eastern States is
receiving an overhauling and will be added
to the new train.
The cars are painted the Pullman" color
outside, which is between an olive green
and seal brown, and the interiors are
much finer than those of the old train.
The lettering on the sides of each of the
cars is very handsome, being in gold AMI
shaded ornamental letters on a dark greel
background. 1t reads:
Free P EShS Of CALP0RF B By h Si s faae
When the Senatorial Railroad Commit
tee arrived yesterday they were taken by
Senator Stanford through the several de-
partments at the railroad shops and in
spected these handsome cars among other
things. The cars will be sent TO Oakland
some time next week, where the shelves,
etc., will be put in, under the direction OF
the State Board of Trade officials, for the
reception and display of the exhibits.
The work done on the cars here is first
class. and Car-Builder Ben. WEIGH and
Master Painter W. c. Fitch are entitled to
the credit therefor, as it was under their
supervision.

Alcoholism the Cause of Rhoderick Dhu
Cooper's Death.
DR.. G. a. White held an autopsy on the
remains of Rhoderick Dhu Cooper yester-
day afternoon, and gives the following as
the result of his examination:
This is to certify that l have this day
made an autopsical examination of the
body of Rhoderick Dhu Cooper, deceased.
Upon the surface of the body the only sp-
pearance of injury was slight abrasion of
the left thumb and slight bruises upon the
left shoulder. The examination of the in
ternal organs showed the heart to be en-
larged and left ventricle inhamed. The
stomach contained about three ounces of
brownish grumous, and no solid. undi-
gested food. The lining of the stomach
was thickened and congested, and pre-
scented the appearance usually observed in
alcoholic gastritis. The liver was enlarged.
Both kidneys were also enlarged and in a
state of sub acute Inflammation, or ne
phritis. Death resulted from alcoholism
Coroner Clark did not hold an inquest on
the body last evening, as intended, but will

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this evening
Mckee Rankin, assisted by Mabel Bert and
competent company, will appear in RAN
kin and Maeder's new drama, 1.-The Run
away Wife" An enthusiastic young Amer
lean artist is married to an English heiress.
When their son attains boyhood the father
becomes blind, and poverty settles down
over the family. The wife takes service
abroad to get subsistence for her husband
and son, but the Intervention of sister
in-law leads to suspicion, jealousy and
separation. In after years the son, having
become famous as an artist, discovers his
mother in the person of titled lady. The
denouement is intensely dramatic, unex-
pected in all respects, and brings to all at
The last peace and Joy. The Milwaukee
Sentinel of September 23d pronounces the
play worthy of the sterling abilities
and fine intelligence and taste of Rankin,
and commends his company as thoroughly
good. The play, though having tears, is
full of humor, and bristles with wit. 1t
has been said of ii that it is a reflex of
much of reality in our romances of every
day life. The prices during the engage
ment are to be 80 and rs cents.
