Contingent of the EXiled Elite Appears
Before Police Judge buckley.
Sacramento, 10 all appearances, has got
the worst of Truckee's recent expulsion of
her 'disreputable characters. A large num-
Der of strange tramps, thieves and dissolute
persons are arriving in town every day,
and it is likely the police will have their
hands full for some time to come.
Early yesterday morning police officers
Ash and Campbell made tour of the
switch tracks along the river front and
bsgged large number Of buns who were
sleeping in the box cars.
This contingent presented quite an inter
esting picture in the Police Court yester-
day forenoon. There was every shape,
size, condition and complexion to be seen
among them.
When they were arraigned they all
pleaded guilty with the exception of one,
who gave his name as John Martin. He
! insisted that, as he had four bits in his
pocket when arrested, and had only been
IN town couple of days, he could not be
convicted of vagrancy,

JULY WEATHER.
INTERESTING STATISTICS COVERING
FORTY YEARS.
Comparison of the Records for the Last
Thirteen Years-Reports
from Many Places.

Furnished by Sergeant James A. Berwick, Sig
nal Corps Observer at Sacramento
The average normal temperature for July,
as deduced from record of thirty six
years, is 720, while the average for this
month is 73o, or 10 warmer than the nor
NAL OF many years, the highest monthly
average being So, in July, 1854 CDR. Lo-
gan's record), and 750 in 1877, Signal sery-
ice record. The lowest monthly average
was go, in 1859 Or. Logan's record, and
700 in 1887, Signal Service record.
The normal rainfall, as deduced from a
record of forty years, was 03 of an inch.
This month did net give a trace. The
greatest rainfall ever occurring in July
during forty years was SO of an inch, in
1850. There was rainfall that was pluyia-
metrically appreciable on bat six years out
of forty during July, as follows July, 1858,
.01 of an inch; So of an iuch in 1860; So
of an inch in 1861; 90 of an inch in 1866
" OF an inch in 1873, and p of an inch
IN 1876. There was an inappreciable
amount precipitated eleven time in forty
years, and no rainfall whatever occurring
in % years out of forty, showing that it is
normally correct to. expect no rainfall of
any amount in July.

found the follow synopsis of reports from

TRAINS DELAYED.
A FIRE NEAR CASCADE DESTROYS A
MILE OF sNowsHEDs.
The Telegraph Station Burned and Line
Destroyed-A Mile of Track
Laid Last Night.

When the overland express train which
arrives here at 1910 P. NJ, and departs at
1880, pulled into the depot on a side track
last night and seemed to be in no hurry
about leaving, RECORD UNION reporter set
about making inquiries as to the cause
thereof, and learned thst, owing to fire in
the snowsheds near the Summit. no trains
would 20 out over the Central Pacific line
before morning
1t appears that shortly after noon brush
fire broke out near the vicinity of Cascade
Station, about twenty miles west of the
Summit, and before sufficient help couId
be mustered TO fight il away from the snow
sheds the latter took fire. The flames
rushed through the dry sheds with great
rapidlty toward the telegraph station.
Water trains and men were telegraphed
for and sent from both sides of the FIRE
and after a hard afternoons battle the
flames were subdued. Not, however. until
about mile OF snowsheds, track and te]e.
graph line had been burned. AS the FIRE
destroyed the track in its progress. those
going from this side were greatly harli-
capped in fighting it, as the water train
could not approach the fumes. And on
the eastern SIDE the sheds were so filled
with smoke as to be suffocating TO the fire
men, while the heat was almost intoler-
able.
The fire therefore pushed lis way I'D 10
the station, burned the telegraph office,
and was checked only when it had reached
within 100 yards of the bridge beyond the
station. Had that structure been DESTROYED
1t would have been several days before
trains could pass that point.
A special train was sent out from here.
IN charge of Assistant Division Burkhalter,
with large gangs of track layers, telegraph
builders, carpenters and laborers, to repair
the damage as soon SIS possible As the
rails are al warped and the ties burned
Tor distance of about a mile, an entirely
new track will have to be laid. The work
of removing the debris is in itself e tedi-
Gus job, and yet the railroad officials mere
expect to be informed this morning that
the track is ready for trains. AT last ac-
counts the railroad company had large
force of men fighting the fire in the brush
and timber, with fair prospect Of prevent
ing further ravages.
A dispatch from Truckee was received
By Division Superintendent Wright in the
afternoon, announcing the dispatching of
water-train from that point. The tele-
gram had to go by way of Ogden to Kan
sas City, Mo, thence to Deming, n. NJ,
and around by way of Los Angeles and
San francisco to Sacramento.

FINIGAN WINS.

Judge Hunt Says He is Member of the
Agricultural Society.
A decision was rendered by Judge Hunt,
of San Francisco, yesterday in the case
brought by P. a. Finigsn against Dana
Perkins and the members of the State
Board of Agriculture. Mr.. Finigan was
appointed by the late Governor Bartlett
but when ne applied for his seat he was
not recognized, on the ground that he had
not filed his oath of office within ten DAVIS
after his appointment. Thereupon Gov
ernor Waterman appointed Dana Perkins
in his place.
Mr.. Finigan contended that he was mott
fed only two days before the time expired
IN which to qualify, and that he lost no
time IN complying with the law, and filed
his oath within ten days from the time
that he was notified.
Judge Hunt holds that the law does not
expect any impossibilities, and that Mr..
FInigan could not be expected to have
official knowledge of his appointment until
notified. If, therefore, he fled his oath of
office within ten days from such notifca-
ton he had complied with the REQUIRE
ments OF the law, and that the appoint
ment dated from the time of the notifca-
ton.
The Court also decided that the Office is
one holding four years, and that Mr.. Fini-
gan was appointed 10 fill an unexpired
term, ending February, 1891.
