COOL, INDEED.
Charged With Assault to Murder, But
Thought So Fine Sufficient.

Charged With Assault to Murder, But
Thought SIS Fine Sufficient.
W. H. Davis was examined in the Police
Court yesterday on charge of assault to
murder, committed on the 18th inst. upon
his mistress, Lucy Attralos.
The woman testified that she had in.
formed Davis that she would live with him
no longer, on account of his cruelty to her
and that he then became enraged. He
knocked her down, kicked her, and wound
up by jabbing her on the head with case
knife.
There were no other eye-witnesses to the
assault, but police officer Franks stated
that he had found the bloody knife, and
was satisfied that Davis was the guilty
party.
Davis, when put upon the stand, ad.
mitted that he had beaten the woman, but
denied that he had used the knife.
Davis attorney, Mr.. Wharton, then
moved for a dismissal of the case, on the
ground of insufficiency of evidence.
Judge Buckley intimated that the evil
dence was trifie scant to be placed before
a jury in the Superior Court, even though
he was satisfied as to Davis guilt.
City Attorney Church opposed dismiss
sal of the case, but was willing to allow
Davis to plead guilty TO battery.
Davis and his attorney held consulta-
ton, and Mr.. Wharton finally arose, and
without betraying the slightest emotion,
said his client would accept the City Attor-
ney's offer. He concluded, however, by
stating that this acceptance would be made
with the understanding that Davis should
only receive light fne-something like
S. or $40.
The Judge and City Attorney almost fell
out of their chairs, and it was thought they
had tainted.
Mr.. Church was the first to recover his
equilibrium, and when he did so be
promptly withdrew his offer to Davis and
| insisted that he be held to answer the orig.
inal charge of assault to murder.
His Honor made the order, and set Davis
bail at 81 900, binding him over to answer
before the Superior Court.
Davis and his attorney left, wondering
what could have come over the officials.

AUSTRALIAN LADY BUGS.
Arrival of an Active Colony in this CT

Arrival of an Active Colony in this City
Yesterday.
There was received in this city yesterday
large and active colony of the Vidolia, or
Australian lady bug, which were turned
loose at Ridge Home to make war upon
the scale bugs. They wese obtained from
H. a. Unruh, of San Gabriel Valley, Los
Angeles county, through Jerome Madden,
of San Francisco. They will no doubt in.
crease very rapidly, and as soon as thew
have finished the scale bugs at Ridge
Home, colonies can be obtained for other
places in the city. The following letter to
Mr.. Madden will be read with great inter-
est by all:
Los ANGELES, August II, 1889.
Jerome Madden, Esq, San Francisco-DEAR
SIR: Your valued favor (l5th inst.) reached me
just as was leaving home this A. NJ, but will re-
turn tonight, and win take pleasure in sending
10 you on Monday as complete colony of the
Nidolia or Australian lady-bug as can be had
Twenty active pair win increase Of they have
sufficient white scale to feed UPON to over one
million in six TO eight weeks time. After
being placed in the trees 1t is probable you will
not be able TO find a trace of them for six weeks
but they will come sure; and If they fail to find
the scale viii turn in and live on each other
One hundred and twenty-nine Vidolia placed
in tweDty-acre orchard on March nth cleared
the place completely OF the scale and stocked
the whole valley. We stopped doing anything
for the Santa Anita orchard, except TO place
colonies of the Vidolia in different parts of the
orchard of 10000 trees, and to-day there is not
a tree in the orchard but what has not the lady
bug on 1t in some form; and the sesle-bug Is a
thing of the past.
The owner of the twenty acre orchard speak
OF offers a dollar apiece for every white scale
that can be found on his place. and It was one
ofthe worst infected in the valley.
The Nidolia is in no way Objectionable or in
furious / viii try TO send them 10 you in their
three states-pupa, Larvae and winged-al-
though the Larvae may kill each other, as that is
the stage in which they are the most yoracious;
as pupa they do not eat, and as winged insects
they attend strictly to the business of increasing
with good work as eaters between times. There
is no possible question as TO efficiency, and
am glad 70 be able 70 serve you. Yours truly.

But They Threw Down the Sacramento
Tail-Enders Once More.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 24th.-The Sac
ramentos to-day played as excellent field
ing game as could be desired by the most
exacting enthusiast. They had an uphill
battle to fight. but did not lose heart, and
at one stage caused their opponents to look
anxious. Burke was again an easy mark
for the Oaklands, but had he been rendered
better support behind the bat the Oaklands
would have made less runs. The men on
both sides stole bases at their own pleasure.
Goodenough. Gagus and Roberts played
a great outfeld. Coughlin was hit hard,
but the hitting was not done when it was
needed. Dooley's three errors were muffs
of balls thrown by Coughlin to catch run
ners mapping, and on which the runners
made second. Stailings played in right
field for the Oaklands, and made phe-
nomenal one-hand catch of fly. The
snore Was

Could Not Swear to 1t.

A great deal of legal sparripg and tall
swearing was INDUCED in in the Police Court
yesterday over vsgrancy case. Three
police officers and three citizens testified
that they believed Arthur Roper to be q
dissolute character, whose principal occu.
patton was rolling Grunks, but, of course,
none of the witnesses having been in
Roper's company constantly cared to swear
positively that he did not do half an hours
work during the last thirty days. Conse-
quently Roper was discharged.

When the case of w. w. Cone, charged
with petty larceny, was called in the Police
Court yesterday, young man employed in
Lawyer Dunn's Office arose and asked for q
continuance. He said he believed there
was TO be hard fight when the case came
tiyes, and time was needed for preparation.
Both sides agreed to continuance until
September ID.
City Attorney Church then gave notice
that he would move in open Court to have
the charge against Cone raised from petty
larceny to obtaining money under false
pretenses.
Cone has demanded trial by jury.

FRISCO WON IN THE NINTH.

STOCKTON, August 24th.-The Stocktons
won game from the San Franciscos to-
day and then generously gave it back in
the ninth inning. 1t was an uninteresting
game throughout, despite some pretty plays
that awakened interest now and then.
Whitehead at short and Stickney at third
played great bali up to the ninth inning,
making difficult stops and pretty throws
The San Franciscos scored two runs in the
FIRST inning on errors by Selma and White
head, hit by Levy, and passed ball by
Ebright. In the third inning Ebright lied
the score by rspping out home run, when
Stickney had been hit by the pitcher. In
the fourth inning three errors by the San
Franciscos allowed Fudger TO score what
should have been the winning run. In

of the projected engineering work, which is
on a large and comprehensive scale. 1t
may be safely said, however. that the re-
demption of the Humboldt basin by
means of storage reservoirs, and with SUBJ
sidiaries below, can be readily accom-
plished. There are 600 acres of land,
and probably more, that would thus be re-
claimed. As already said, the natural
meadows and water supplies of the Owyhee
river in northern Nevada can be so utilized
as to bring about the reclamation of an
equally large area in that direction.

WHAT UTAH HAS DONE.

Utah furnishes an illustration of the
simpler forms of irrigation. The Mormon
farmers have been irrigating on small
scale, but they have come TO the end of
their rope. They have been confronted by
the issue of storage reservoirs, but don't
know how to handle the subject They
waited upon the committee and presented
clear statement of what they had DONE
1t was d remarkable exhibition of what
small canals and small communities can
do. In Salt Lake county the farmers have
apparently no capital with which to work,
or If they have, they do not know how TO
employ ii to advantage. The largest num-
Der of shares of stock in any irrigation
company is 20S. One share of stock repre-
sents one acre. and ninety per cent. of the
| irrigation shares are owned by the farmers
themselves. Some expensive work has
been done, but all by individual labor,
each shareholder giving his own time and
service, as well as of his teams. Tney are
irrigating at various points by means of
small storage basins, bat the committee
found that there are places suitable for
larger basins and the prospects for
the future in that Territory are promising.
The engineers of the Geological Survey are
working up the matter, and the results OF
their labors will doubtless be most en-
couraging.
AS to Central Nevada. it is Just now
difficult to say what are the conclusions
already reached by the committee, as the
work in Nevada must be largely the result

school matter that has attracted so much
attention in Boston was taken up by the
Central Catholic association of this city,
and was denounced at general meeting
held on Sunday. Bishop Gilmour OPP
posed the action of the Boston Protestants
very vigorously in an address in which he
said:
Il deny the right of the state to come
into my house unless under due course of
law and with the assumption of or the
actual violation of just law. | deny the
right OF the state to coerce the citizen to
send his child to school. l admit, how
ever, the right of the state to make edu-
cation a condition for the exercise of the
rights of citizenship, but hold that the
citizen is free to prepare himself for that
or not, as he pleases."

General Harrison's Profile.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. lS.-A copy OF the
latest photograph of President-elect Har-
rison has been received at the mint and
will be used in making a die or plate for
printing at some future time upon curren-
cy or bank notes. Designer Charles f..
Barker, of the mint, sent to Gen. Harrison
some time ago asking for picture for this
purpose. He soon afterward received one,
but objected to it because it was not pro-
file view. So the general sat again, and a
very fine profile portrait was obtained. 1t
is said that the best points of Gen. Harri-
sons face are entirely lost in a profile
portrait.
