WHAT DOES IL MEAN?
Where Do All she Tramps Com
From?

Where Do All she Tramps Come
From?
There has been the most astonishing
boom in the tramp business of late that
has ever blessed a community. If the
county constables ''keep up their licks"
for year or 80 the whole population
will be in Jail by the end of the period.
The Migrants" now lodged in the
County Jail are loud in their com plants,
and allege that gross injustice is being
practiced by the climbs of the law" in
the outlying districts; and it is further
alleged that the learned and honest JUS
tices who preside over the courts and
hold up the scales of the goddess with
scales over her eyes, are quite
as much in earnest as the constables
in putting every man in Jail
who appears on the high road to look for
work, and has not well-lined purse in
his pockets.
One day last week no less than twenty
three unfortunates were lodged in the
County Jail, large number of whom
fell under the ban of the law as tramps
or vagrants. Some days as many as ten
persons are rushed into jail from one re-
mote township of the county for the ter
rible offense Of not having a bank ac-
count. So exceedingly in earnest are
the gentlemen who wear-in their minds
eye-the spotless ermine that it is al
legged they hold court on Sunday in order
to dispatch this necessary business of
getting men &c jail tc- the crime Of not
being rich.
Now it is notorious that the justices
and constables OF this State have for
years reaped a golden and Paetolean
harvest in the fees of their office. Last
year these officials cost the county $52,
900, or 81 900 week for attending to
the criminal business of the community.
So fragrant was this affair that two years
ago, when the Legislature was in session,
Hon. S. M. White introduced a
bill changing the County Govern
ment bill so that this wholesale
robbery-as it appeared to the people
might be stopped. By the terms
of this new law no justice of the peace,
nor constable is allowed to draw more
than 1000 in any one year for fees,
mileage, etc, in criminal cases. Now
here is whereby hangs the tale.
There are not wanting those who are 80
unkind as to think that the active
climbs OF the law" and their compatriots,
the justices who are perpetrating this
outrage are really actuated by an earnest
desire to defeat the ends of Justice in their
own persons. For example, it would
be very fine scheme, "the finest ever
conceived in the mind of mobsman," as
they have it in the comic opera, Erminie
to rush in enough cases in the first
month of the year to enable those who
"are in the game" to draw their 81 ,00C
for one months service and then re-
sign.
The law passed two years ago did moi
60 into effect before the 9TH day of the
present month, and all this activity or
the part of the constables from Milpitas
Hog Hollow, Red Dog Gulch and othel
outlying townships has been developed
since the new batch went into Office.
These are the allegations which ART
being made. What does it all mean?

SCIENTISTS VISIT THAT POINT.
What Does the Great Influx OF
Tramps to the County Jail
Mean2

Mr.. Alvan G. Clark, accompanied by
Professor Pickering, left for Pasadena
yesterday in charge of Mr., E. F. spence.
The party will, during the next three
days, visit Wilson's Peak, where the
astronomers will make careful scrutiny
as to the adaptability of that place for
the mammoth telescope, and also
as to whether it is suited for philosophi-
Cal purposes. They will return about the
end of the week, and if everything is
satisfactory, there is little doubt that a
deal will be made and Mr.. Clark will re-
ceive the order for the immense lens.
AS stated in the HERALD the other day
the work cannot, under the most favora-
BILE circumstances. be completed inside OF
five years, and in all probability Mr..
Clark will do the work of forming the

Special Correspondence to the HERALD
SACRAMENTO, January 21, 1889.
By strict attention to business and
hard work the Senate has, during the
past week, fully redeemed itself for the
valuable time it wasted during the open
ing days of the session. Few measures
of the large number which have been
presented for consideration have been
allowed to hang fire, but have been dis
posed of, in some manner, so speedily as
to make the heads of their authors swim.
Aside from the bill providing for the ap-
pointment of the Supreme Court Com
missioners and the concurrent resolution
memorializing Congress on the Scott
Exclusion act, no question has yet been
sprung in the Senate which has precipi-
tated any general or lengthy debate.
Exception is to be made, of course. in
the matter of the Oakland charter dis
cussion, which was both general and
prolonged, nearly every Senator on the
floor taking a more or less active part
in it. Prior to the introduction of the
charter resolution it became noised
abroad that "sack" of immense size
was to play no unimportant part in the
struggle; and, as it was late in material
izing, the Doodle members STAYED off
final action until the very latest moment
in the hope of "getting in" A strong
fight was made by the faction which had
not been "seen," assisted by others who
were strictly conscientious in the matter
to have the resolution referred to the
Judiciary Committee, where it might
have remained till doomsday. This
move was defeated, however, after q
stubborn oratorical conflict and the char
ter went through, as its friends say, in 6
gallop.

Fell from a Building.

A man by the name of Ramsey fell off
a new building at 152 East First street
yesterday afternoon, breaking his left leg
and receiving number of other minor
injuries, painful but not dangerous. He
was taken to the police station. DIR.
Choate was telephoned for, but as he was
absent considerable difficulty was expe-
rienced in obtaining medical attendance
for him. There appears to be no very
definite understanding at the station as
to what is to be dene in the event of the
absence of the police surgeon.

THE CAUSE OF DELAY.
The Late A. 0. Smiths Sweetheart
Tells Of Their Love Engagement
SHE POSTPONED THEIR MARRIAGE
Because Her Mother Very Seriously Oh
jected to the Match.
GENERAL NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

The case of G. H. Aiken, executor for A.
o. Smith, against the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company to recover SIC, 900
on policy held by Smith, was continued in
the United States Circuit Court yesterday,
Miss Lizzie Genkinger, the girl to whom
Smith had been engaged to be married, and
whose refusal TO fill the engagement was
claimed by the defense to be the cause of
Smiths dependency, was called and occu-
pied the stand more than half of the after
noon. She gave clear statement of her ac-
quaintance and engagement with Mr.. Smith,
and gave as a reason for having postponed the
marriage that her mother was opposed to it.
They were engaged early in 1885, and the we'd
ding was postponed two or three times until in
1857 Smith died. Miss Genkinger was aware
that she was a beneficiary by Smiths will. and,
with feeling that she had no rightfnl claim,
she made an assignment of her interest to the
various members of his family. Although she
had no reason to believe Smith had committed
suicide, she refused to become party to the
present suit.
The counsel for the plaintiff endeavored to
overthrow the claims that smith had COM
mitted suicide. However, the defense claimed
that q bottle containing some laudanum had
been found in Smiths room after his death. A
sister of the deceased testified yesterday that
she had boughro 10 cents worth of laudanum
uCI Alicoo Ouc gave ulAu
three drops of it and then locked it up. She
was sure he had not taken any of it without
her knowledge.
W. p. Ellis, Chairman of the Relief Commit
tee in an order of which Smith was a member,
was with the deceased at the time of his death
and for two or three days previous. He testi-
fed that the deceased had complained of heart
trouble all along
Mr.. Archibald Smith, father of the deceased,
was the last witness examined before the ad-
journment of court. He was with his son at
: = . 1,e@1 nu-1
of suicide, but was given to understand by the
attending physician that his son died OF heart
disease.
The case will 60 to the jury to-day.

The Effort 10 Bring the Ships of Erie Down
to Pittsburg.
Some prominent business men who are
members of the Chamber of Commerce, are
about to send q petition to the Governor,
asking for the appointment OF Col. T. P. Rob
erts as member of the Committee of Five
which is to look into the praeticability of the
proposed ship canal between Lake Erie and
Pittsburg Col. Roberts long experience as q
practical engineer is held to especially fit him
for seat on the committee. In speaking Of
the proposed canal, Col, Roberts had thissto
say yesterday:
There are two important industries to be
benefited if it is practical to establish canal
between Pittsburg and Lake Erie. 1t is not
the idea that Pennsylvania shall build the
canal but that the Legislature shall interest
the National Government in the enterprise.
The Northwest will be especially benefited. be-
cause ore can be transported 20 Pittsburg and
coal can be taken back to the Northwest at a
cheaper rate than it is now done by the rail-
roads, If the lake cities, such as Erie, Cleve-
land, Chicago and Milwaukee, can only be in
terested in the canal there will not be much
trouble in bringing the matter prominently be-
fore Congress.
There are two routes in view. The people
of Beaver and that locality are anxious to have
the route that was abandoned in 1870 re-estab-
lished. But q better route is from Erie to
Conneaut Lake. thence down French creek
and the Allegheny river TO Pittsburg. think
a canal could be built over that route with a
1,000ton capacity"
