JULIA POCKMAN.
Death of Woman Who Had Lived an
Eventful Life.


Eventful Life.
Yesterday there died in this city a woman
of considerable notoriety-one that had
tasted many of the pleasures of life and
whose last few years were stepped with the
dregs of misery. Julia Williams was
born on the Costumes, in this county,
some thirty years ago, had honest and hon.
orable parents, was well educated, and at
the age of 20, when she was led to the altar
by man by the name of Pockman, she
was held in high esteem by all who knew
her. Her husband kept saloon at Florin;
the young bride was thrown amongst the
dregs OF the saloon, the life was distasteful,
her husband often beat her, and on more
than one occasion she left BIN and went
back TO her parents. Finally, becoming
desperate, she fled to this city. and, as a
natural consequence, was not choice of her
companionship. One morning, some nine
years ago, her husband broke into her
room, in a lodging house upstairs opposite
the Western Hotel, and attacked her
with knife. infiicting severe wounds
in her back and arms. She got
hold of pistol, fred one shot, and he
tumbled down the stairway corpse. She
was tried for murder and acquitted. From
that day she never returned TO her parents
but lived a life of shame. However, she
was always looked upon as kind-h hearted
and generous woman of her kind, and
many poor family have been assisted by
her ever open purse when she saw an
object OF charity. About year ago she
contracted severe cold, il turned into the
quick consumption and yesterday she died
homeless and frlendless. About two years
ago her father was kicked by q horse and
killed. About year ago her mother was
leading the same animal to water when
she became entangled in the rope and wa:
dragged to death.

No More Street Railways for Sacramento
Street Improvements.
Robert T. Devlin, attorney for the Elec-
trio Railway Company, appeared before the
Board of City Trustees yesterday morning
and demonstrated against the restrictions
placed upon the proposed road by the
Trustees. He was of the opinion that if
the Board insisted upon demanding bonds,
street-railroad building, for the present at
least, was at an end in Sacramento.
The Electric Company said they had or
dered rail for their double track on street.
The Trustees, however, did not seem in
clined to give any more franchises at pres
ent, and the matter of new lines was laid
over.
B. s. Carey, Of the City Railway Com
psny, asked for q charter on Fifteenth
street. from X 10 H, connecting two lines
now in operation by his company.
This was refused unless guarantee bonds
were gwen.
The proprietors of both lines of street
railway denounce the action of the Board,
saying that they ask more than any other
city in the Union, and are really handi-
Gaping city Improvements.
A petition was received asking the Board
to rescind the order recently passed to have
Twelfth street improved from B to HI. AS
the petitioners represent 9, 233 feet of prop
erty, the proposed street work is killed, as
only / 92l front feet of property was neces
sary to demonstrate.
E. Fl. Williams, Chief Engineer of the
Water Works. reported that 1888, 900 gal
Ions of water were pumped for the week
ending January 9th. The Holly pump
was run 155 hours and the Stevens pump
fourteen hours.
John Hughes was awarded contract to
improve Twenty-third street, from o to Y,
by grading and graveling. In his bid he
agreed to do the scraping for twelve cents
per cubic yard, and twenty-four cents for
hauling. He will charge $28 per thousand
feet for lumber. The total cost will be
$6T7 ga
The Board passed resolution of inten-
ton to have Twenty-third street improved

handful of pepper in his eyes. The would
be murderer and robber then sprang upon

vented the Chinaman from getting a good
grasp, and Hoyt pounded the robber over
the head and face so severely that the latter
called for help, when another Chinaman
jumped into the room. In the scuffie the
light was put out. and cry for help
brought the neighhors from across
the road The robbers fed, running
up the levee towards this city.

skulking about the neighborhood, and that
they would murder a man for six bits. The

How to Cook Steak.

An old butcher says: eff you only
knew how to cook a steak to make it
good that would do, but it always makes
me sick to see a woman cook steak.
She invariably puts her frying-pan on
the stove and puts in a chunk of grease
about as big as my fist, and when tt is
hot enough to. begin to crackle, she puts
in her beef and never thinks of cover
ing it. The smoke and steam from it
goes to the very ceiling. After she
cooks it in this way until it begins to
look like an old rubber shoe sole, she
calls it done. When you 60 to eat it
there is no more taste in it than a chip.
Now, if you want good bit of steak,
have clear, hot fire, set your clean,
empty pan on spot, cover it up, then
round your steak, and when your pan
is very hot lay in your steak and cover
quickly. AS soon as it has crisped
enough to let 60 its hold on the pan,
turn over and cover quickly; turn again
as at first, and continue to do so about
every two minutes until you have turn
ed it six or eight times. Have a hot
buttered dish ready for it and lay it in (;
add sprinkling of pepper, salt and
sugar, and cover tightly. Now, if you
wish gravy, put bit of butterin your
pan. When hot, rub in pinch of -four,
add small teacupful of boiling water,
let it boil a few minutes, then put in a
gravy boat instead of putting it over
your beef to draw out the juice. Now,
try this plan just once, and you will see
you women know nothing about cook
ing good steak.-Ec.

Missing and Found.

The most of our citizens are no doubt
by this time familiar with the story of
the disappearance from their home
here of Zadie and Arthur Gardner,
children of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gard
ner. They left their home Monday of
last week with no other apparent pur-
pose in view than to crafty a freak of
adventure that possessed them, all the
rumors afoat of any other motive or
purpose in regard to their reason in 60
ing away from their home being with
out foundation and creating very
wrong impression. They purchased
tickets at the St. Paul depot for Chica-
go and took their departure by the [ SO
P. NJ. train. AS soon as the children
were missed Mr. Gardner followed
them, but went only as far as Milwau-
kee Monday evening, later on going to
Chicago, where he was joined by Mrs.
Gardner and her sister Mrs S. r. Sleep
er. Procuring the services of three
detectives each took route apart from
the others and searched the streets and
by-ways of the great city for the miss
ing ones. Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday were dark and gloomy days
for the parents and they well nigh des-
paired of ever seeing their children
again, when happily the dark clouds
were cleft with ray of sunshine and
the lost were found This occurred
Friday and the joy Of that meeting can
be better imagined than described.
The children had fallen into kind hands
Zadie had obtained employment in a
necktie factory and little Arthur was
on the high road to success as CASH
boy in the large dry goods house of
Carson, Pirie & Co. But, nothwith-
standing their comparatively pleasant
surroundings and bright outlook for
the future there was not much hesitan-
cy exhibited by them in embracing the
opportunity presented of accompany
ing their parents home Friday night.
