CALIFORNIA ON WHEELS
Preparations for the Next Trip Over Il
Continent


Preparations for the Next Trip Over the
Continent.
The three new California on Wheels
cars are being rapidly pushed to compile
ton at the railroad shops. They are now
in the hands of the painters, and it is
thought that they will be in readiness for
the exhibits in about three weeks.
circular has been issued by the State
Board of Trade, callirg upon all affiliated
| organizations to furnish exhibits for the
new cars, which will leave San Francisco
about November 18th. The first car will
be occupied by fruits, vegetables, cereals,
etc., and the second car by wines. minerals
and woods. 1t will be the endeavor of the
Board to have every locality of the State
represented.
Major J. B. Lauck will represent the
Southern Pacific Company ON the new
California on Wheels" and Joseph Nc
Donald will be the representative of the
State Board of Trade. Gavin q. High, one
of the most energetic newspaper reporters
in San Francisco, and who has for several
years been connected with the Report of
that city, will accompany the exhibit as
advance press agent. Edgar Price, who

the last trip. declined to go again this year
on account of his health. The other ap-
pointments have not yet been made.
Major Lauck is now connected with the
passenger department of the Southern Pa
cihc Company, and before his present em.
ployment was conductor. Mr.. Mcdonald
the Boards representative, accompanied
the exhibit last year and is well known
throughout the United States
There is no need to dwell upon the i'm
portance of every county being well rep
resented in the new exhibit on wheels.
Nearly every one is familiar with the
workings and achievements of the State
Board and its tributary branches, and no
argument is necessary to convince the peo-
Pile of this county of the effective work
which has been done by the local Board
since its establishment. Therefore Sacra-
mento should not be behind with an ex-
hibit.

LIBERAL TO A FAULT.
A Father Tenders a Lady S25, for Ca
inc for His Ghildren for Years

Father Tenders Lady &25, for Car
ing for His Children for Years.
The following bit of domestic history
was related to REcoRD-UNIoN reporter
yesterday by a we'll known lawyer of this
city: Some nine years ago man who was
engaged in river steamboating and who
still runs small trading steamer on the
Sacramento river, sent his wife and three
children on trip to Panama, where the
former had relatives residing. During her
absence her husband procured divorce
and married again, and in the meantime
another child was born to her. In the
course of time the lady and one of the
children fell victims to the ever-laden eli
mate of the Isthmus, and the other chill
dren were taken care of by her sister.
Some weeks ago the latter came to this
city with the children, and they were at
once claimed by their father. The lady
told him that she had cared for the chill
dren all these years, was deeply attached to
them, and felt that if he insisted on claim
ing them he should at least reward her for
her actual outlay in their behalf, amount
ing to some $400. The father responded
so the story goes-by rendering the lady
the munificent sum of twenty five dollars
She scorned the offer, but that same day
the father called again, got possession of the
children, and took them to the house of his
present wife.
The names of the parties are withheld
for prudential reasons.

Ihe new Electric Fare Box on the Cen
trail Street Railway.
Messrs. Alsip and Lewis, OF the Central
Street Railway Company, are determined
to have the latest Improvements in the line
OF attachments for street cars, and to that
end they have concluded to equip each of
their handsome cars with a novel electric
fare box, manufactured by the Electric
Fare Box Company of Nashville, Tennes-
see. One of these new boxes has arrived,
and was placed on a car last evening. II
works like charm, and being the first OF
the kind introduced in California, will no
doubt be viewed with interest by passen-
gers. The box is neft affair, 22i inches

work is Of walnut, and the mountings are
| nickle plated. The greater portion of the
| box. however, is glass, and arrangements
| have been so perfected tor cleaning the
glass that any of the interior parts can be
removed by unlocking the top.
When piece of money (the exact value
| of course) is dropped in the slot at the tor
of the box, it falls midway down to trap

correct, the driver pulls lever and stimuli.
taneously the fare falls down, the bell stops
ringing and the light is extipguished. The
money falls into another trap below the
| middle one and can then be turned into the
box at the bottom at the drivers will.
| Near the top of the box is an indicator
which tells just how many fares have been

The electric light is supplied from s
small battery under the front seat. The
light is switched out in the daytime. By
pressing button on the box bell rings tc

not paid his fare.
The cost of the whole apparatus is $50. II

After all the agitation over the PROPOSE

day that he had done his best to induce the
owner to set price upon the property, but
that he had decline to do so and said he

MORE KILLING NEEDED.

Tramps Make Descent Upon Some Chi
nese Gardeners.
1t seems that the fate of the burglar who
was shot while raiding the Capital Cannery
the other evening has not had the effect of
deterring others of his profession from pur-
suing their avocation. On Tuesday even
ing three of them burst in upon gang of
Chinese gardeners in their cabin down the
river near the Merkley ranch, and with
drawn revolvers demanded the Chinamen's
money. The Mongolians, not complying
promptly with the robbers demands, were
beaten and maltreated in various ways, and
one of them was shot twice while endeayor-
ing to escape. His wounds, however, are
not considered dangerous.
The robbers, who were masked, left be-
fore the escaping Chinaman could summon
help, and sought their camp in the neigh
boring willows. An employe on Mouton' s
ranch, near by, yesterday found couple
of vests in a field, in the pockets of one
of which was a watch and chain. 1t is sup
posed that the garments were dropped by
the robbers in their flight.

Safe-Crackers at Work.

Yesterday morning the office of F. D
Meyers, at 3l9 ] street, was entered, the
safe opened and $40 in coin taken. The
combination on the outside door of the safe
was out of order, and consequently tha
door could not be locked. The inner dool
was locked with key, which was alway.
placed in drawer in another part of th,

work must have been well acquainted will

were also stolen. The matter has been re

Bitten by a Dog.

Yesterday the little eight year-old son
of Mr.. Cavanaugh, who resides in the vi
cinity of Second and Q streets, was attacked
at Third and L streets, by vicious black
dog, which sank its teeth into the child's
leg, badly lacerating the flesh. The little
sufferer made great outcry, and a woman
living in that vicinity took him into her
house and bandaged his wound, after
which the boy was taken to his home.
His father informed Chief of Police Lee
of the facts, and the latter sent a couple of
officers to kill the vicious brute that at
tackled the boy, but thus far they have been
unable to find it,

WORSE THAN A PIa-PEy.

The neighbors have clothed and fed her
for the past six months. Gabrianni, gar
dener, living near Pagni, tells me that his
wife has been making dresses for her right
along. She took pity on her when she saw
her naked condition. But, even then, the
poor creature was afraid to take the dresses
for fear that her son would kill her. Un-
less she begs for food, she has to starve,
and when they do give her food they throw
it to her like you would TO a dog. Both
Pagni and his vile have beaten her. While
| was investigating it, the old lady showed
me her bruised flesh and also dress which
had been torn while they were whipping
her. | tell you, gentlemen, unless some
thing is done pretty quick the people out
there will go after him, and God knows
when they will quit"
Before the party left Mr.. Galgani once
more reminded the District Attorney
that 1t was the Italian colony which in
tended to push the prosecution of Pagni.
They did not wish to shoulder any of the
dlsgrace because Pagni happened TO be an
Italian.
The hack next rolled ont 10 the yegeta-
y BILE gardens again. and the party held q
whispered consultation. The reporter sug-
gested that Pagni be interviewed next, and
that he be requested to show the party
where his mother was kept.
Mr. Churchman suggested that Aleksa be
again called, as his services might be
wanted as an interpreter.
NO no." said Mr.. Bruner. "We must
see the mother first, by all means. Pagni
will give us no satisfaction, am afraid" ("
A call was then made upon Psgni's near
est neighbor, Mr.. Moseley. As had been
anticipated, the Moseleys were as vehe-
ment in their denunciation of Pagni's
hendish brutality toward his mother as
were the other neighbors. Mrs. Moseley
