THAT TROUBLESOME ROAD.
Mrs. Valensin's Suit to Test the Authori
of the Board nf SnnarriSnrs

Mrs. Valensin's Suit to Test the Authority
of the Board of Supervisors.
For many months past there has been a
great deal of contention between Mrs.
Alice NJ. Valensin, the Supervisors and resi-
dents of the vicinity of Arno over the clos
ing of the old road through the ancient
village of Hicksville. 1t seems that Mrs.
Valensln was desirous of closing the road
and opening another to run direct from the
corner of her property on the upper Stock
ton road to Arno station, on the line of the
railroad. There was strong remonstrance
sent up against the proposed change, and
the Board of Supervisors, after taking testi-
mony and hearing arguments for and
against the remonstrance. granted the
prayer of the protesting citizens.
Mrs. Valensin then commenced suit
against the county to set aside the action of
the Board, and yesterday Judge Armstrong
issued an order requiring the Supervisors
to certify to the Court, on the 18th inst, the
record of the proceedings of that body in
the matter. The question to be determined
is as to whether or not the Supervisors ex-
ceeded their authority in granting the petit
ton of those demonstrating against the
closing of the old road.

COLLOM'S CUNNING.

He Gets Out of Bad Scrape and Prom
ises to Get Out of Another.
John Collom, you have been found
guilty of battery committed upon your
wife; have you anything to say now why
the judgment of the Court should not be
passed upon you?"
Judge Buckley looked very stern as he
said this to the convicted wife beater in the
Police Court yesterday. Collom looked
very penitent, but was as talkative as ever.
Judge, your Honor" he said, rising,
81 have favor to ask, and if you'll grant
it I'll be thankful to you all my lite.
want you to let me go, Judge, and prom.
ise you never to come back to Sacramento.
1 will never set eyes on my wife again,
shelp me, Judge. pll go right down to
Frisco and ship"
"Ship where?" asked the Judge.
"Oh, to Liyerpool-any place." said Col
lom, sadly.
China is pretty good place" suggested
his Honor, with mischievous smile.
''Yes, I'll go there, too, was the prisoners s
desperate reply.
We'll" said the Judge, 81 don't know
what should do in the matter. l intended
to fine you heavily for this-something
like 5000. and"
"Oh, Judge, you can make it $400, if
ever come back" interrupted the prisoner.
well, all right; you can go; but mind
you, just as soon as you put foot in town
again the police will get you and l will
give you double Dose"
Collom grabbed his hat and was out of
| the door in less time than it takes to tell it.
How far are you going, John ?' asked
an acquaintance who met Collom in the
hallway.
"Sh-h-not so loud" said John, taking
the friend to one side. I'm just goin'
across the river. The old woman will be
heart broken when she hears that Pm
gone, and will run around the streets cry
ing for me to come home. The police will
tell her that I've gone to ship, and she'll
send them tearing down after me. Then
I'll step over home again-the lost lover
returned-see? She will-be so happy over
my return that the Judge won't have the
| heart to send me up. Oh, I'm cunuin', |

| of the bridge chuckling with glee

ADJUSTMENTS,

Karl Gardner, the sweet singer and capi-
tai German and Swiss character imper-
senator, presented at the Opera House last
night the romantic comedy-drama, Karl,
the Peddler." 1t presented Mr. Gardner
as favorably as the first piece in which he
played here, F'atherland," and gave the
members of his troupe more prominence
and far better opportunity for good work.
The play is vivacious, well provided with
effective tableaux, is spirited in action, and
of sustained interest throughout. Its best
scene for dramatic tableaux is that of the
gypsy camp, which is made very realistic
Mr. Gardner sang number of new songs
charmingly. The play will be repeated
for the last time tonight. By request,
Mr.. Gardner will introduce his favorite
song, The Lilac" Gardner and troupe
have achieved success in California, and
left among theater-goers pleasant recollec-
tons of their visit. They return to the
East tomorrow

Not an Eelymosynary Aggregation.


Chief of Police Lee and District Attorney
Bruner went to the Secretary of States
office yesterday and found that the articles
of incorporation under which w. w. Cone
and his detectives are working was not
worth the paper it was written on The
articles state that the purpose of the So
called United States Detective Association
is "a general detective and collection asso-
citation" There is no capital stock. 1t is
claimed that an association incorporated
for business purposes must, by Jaw, have a
capital stock, or the articles are invalid.
The Chief and District Attorney con-
suited Deputy Attorney-General johnson
IN order to ascertain what charges might
be placed against Cone, and the Chief says
he will also consult United States District
Attorney John T. Carey in regard to the
matter. He says he means to see the end

stated that she was looking for her husband,
H. ]. Eadson, wihom she said had gone
from his home with the chambermaid.
The Eadsons keep a hotel or lodging house
in the remote little towr OF Sissons, and
there is where the sepsra ion took place.

Eadson went alone to WashiDh ton Iefri-

home the other day found the plaA> oe
serted Her spouse had fed, and so h. q
their pretty chambermaid, prepossessihg
girl of eighteen summers. Mrs. Eadson
was not long in finding out the direstion
which the couple had taken, and donning
her travelling habit she took the train and
arrived in this city day before yesterday.
She came to the Police Station and there
laid her woes before Chief Lee
She minutely described both of the run
aways, and at times during her story she
became greatly agitated. The contemp-
tible little hussy," she cried, you couldn't
see either of them half block away. The
girls pretty, that's true. We kept her as
if she was our own, and nursed her when
she was i'll, and did everything for her,
and this is what it has come to Oh, how
I'd like 10 meet them F."
She persisted in having an official ac-
company her about the city in search of
the runaways, and officer Farrell was de-
tailed to go with her. They hunted all
over the city and nearly every lodging
house was visited and searched. The Of
ticer's fair companion insisted on going in
everywhere, and at last they found that
the objects of their search had stopped at
an uptown hotel the evening before. At
the hotel the officer and lady were in
formed that Mr.. Eadson had parted with
his fair lady in this city, having stated that
he brought her here 10 her friends. He
also informed the hotel clerk that he was
on his way back to Sissous.
This was all the information that was
necessary, and the wife took her departure.
1t was learned that Eadson has been ar
rested in Sissons on some charge or other.
He was about forty years ofage.

In the Romantic Riviera.

Half the enchantment of Italy is gone
when we lose sight OF the Mediterra-
mean, says correspondent. 1t is along
the shore of that sapphire sea that the
romance and the glamor of Italian
landscape are to be found. There are
spots between San Reno and Bor-
digbera, between Monte Carlo and
Nice, which make the soul ache with
their loneliness, saddened almost to
despair by an ideal beauty which
seems to accentuate the ugliness Of
life; and it is only with that sea for a
foreground of the picture that the light
and color of the South can be felt in all
their exquisite variety. Rome thrills
and yibrates with the spectral past, a
city of fountains and phantoms; Flor
ence is a vast repository of art; Venice
is dream of vanished greatness
carved in stone and glorifed with fres-
Goes that are as vast and wonderful as
any dream; but the western Riviera Is
a happy holiday ground which Heaven
has left to mankind out of a long-lost
fairyland

ABOUT SHYING HORSES.
Careful Driving the Best and Only II

Careful Driving the Best and Only Re
liable Cure.
A horse that after shying treasures
himself and makes no effort to get
away, but Gains down as soon as he
perceives that he was falsely alarmed,
is pretty certain to make safe beast.
Horses can be cured of shying only by
the experience which they gain when
carefully driven. The practice of
flOgging after the event, besides being
cruel, is an extremely unwise one.
But if the animal can not be induced
by coaxing to pass particular object,
the whip must be used. When your
steed stops from fright and refuses to
go on, it is a good plan to speak reas-
suringly to him and at the same time
tap him gently with the whip as re-
minder that there is power behind
him which he must obey. L believe
that some horses never shy, but such a
one is rare indeed. 1t was only the
other day, however. that l was told,
and on good authority, of four-year
old colt that showed no fear of train
of cars in motion the first time that he
saw them, and 1 have myself, on at
least two occasions, driven green
horses past a pile-driver in action
without their being frightened in the
slightest degree. These same horses
would jump little when dog rushed
at them suddenly and Unexpectedly.
Practically, then. it is possible to find a
horse which won't shy-that is, an ami
NAL so sensitive and discreet that he
can be relied upon never to shy dan
gerously.
l can tell story which will illustrate
my meaning. l was once driving a
game and intelligent, but rather snap
pish chestnut mare. At one point in
the journey it was necessary to GROSS a
long covered bridge. For some reason
the mare paused at the entrance and
was evidently in great alarm, but after
a word or two from me she made up
her mind to venture across. She laid
her ears fiat Hack upon her head and
rushed over the bridge at the fast
est trot of which she was capa-
BILE. Once across, her fears subsidized,
but so great had it been that she broke

comported herself on this one occasion

Her ransomed soul has passed beyonf

Naught of her with sluggish dust

But that which sinks with earth away,
And fades before US day by day.

Transplanted TO tairer land
The light has faded from her sight
To scenes OF earth,
But dawns again in glad surprise
In happier birth.
As brightest flowers Of earthly life
Reach for the sun,
And bend beneath the pressing dew
When day is done;
So shall thy pure immortal flower
Bend to Thy Life I the evening hour.

Her trusting heart can never fear
The wrecking perils Of each year.
She knows no sorrow; that is earth's,
And pain is death;
Her yearning spirit will be filed
With truths sweet breath.

A NEW PRESERvATIvE.
Provisions Treated by q Novel sulph
Fumixatfns Procesa

=
Fumigatins Process
A remarkable discovery has lately
been made which promises to revolu-
tiorize the provision business. At the
present time it is impossible to ship
eggs to Southern points, milk to any
place more than two days journey dis
lance, and some of the most deliciou.
game must be eaten in the vicinity
where it is killed. The most skillful
refrigerator produced serves only to
preserve meat and vegetables for a
brief period, and leaves them when
taken from the freezing chambers in
such a condition that they must be
cooked at once or spoiled. II time
shall come when the farmer may send
his eggs or milk or other produce to
Brazil or the antipodes. and Chesa-
peake reed birds sent to London and
Paris, the value of such commodities
will be tremendously enhanced, and
every corner of the world will be bene-
fitted by the change.
A Chicago man claims that he has
found preparation which will do just
this for the producer of foods. Hav-
ing in mind the indefinite preservation
of human bodies in the shape of num-
mics, he has called his production the
Egyptian Food Preservative."
This is a patented article and con-
sists of powder made up of five or six
ingredients, among which are sulphur
and cinnamon. This powder, when
ignited, smolders slowly and gives out
a dense, heavy smoke that sinks at
once to the bottom of the room. The
process of applying it to any subject is
simple. If it be steak, or gallon Of
oysters, or a roast, or any other SUBJ
stance whatever, it is placed in the
bottom compartment of an ordinary re-
frigerator which has been made air.
tight by lining it with rubber. The
powder is placed upon a perforated
shelf in the under part of the box and
ignited. The box is then closed and
not opened until the powder is burned
out. This may take half an hour, and
it only ceases to smolder when the
oxygen contained in the box has been
exhausted.
After that the subject Of the process
is found to be unimpaired in appear
ance and quality, and rendered per-
manently sound and wholesome. In
the case of meat and vegetables, it does
not matter whether they have been
cooked or not before being subjected to
the process. The result is the same.
Even milk, when thus treated, will
stand indefinitely without souring and
without losing any of its nourishing
qualities. Eggs that have been treated
are found to have lost simply the vital
element-that is, if placed under hen
they will not hatch. A number of eggs
that had been thus treated and placed
under a hen were left with her for
twenty-bne days, after which they were
taken away and cooked and found to be
entirely wholesome. Chicago Herald.
