Preparations for our coming Fourth OF
July celebration are progressing in a man.
ner entirely satisfactory 10 the ardently
patriotic citizens who have in hand the
management of the details.
Marshal Stephens was seen by RECORD
UNION reporter yesterday evening and
asked if there were anything new to say
in regard to the big demonstration which
is exciting SO much interest.
Nothing particular" answered Mr.
Stephens, "but you may set it down as an
assured fact that we are to have the finest
Fourth of July celebration ever seen in
the city. Everything is progressing as
favorably as we could wish. The different
committees are all working like beavers,
and every individual who is connected
with the movement seems TO be imbued
with wonderful zeal and enthusiasm.
The Finance Committee reports excel
lent progress. About $1,000 has been col
lected up to this evening. We need $500
or S4O0 more, and | believe we shall get it.
AS matter of fact the First Ward has
given about two-thirds of the entire sum
subscribed. This is out of all fair proper
ton, particularly as the uptown districts
will receive most of the benefit of the cele-
bration. There are a great many men
abundantly able TO contribute who have
given nothing as yet. We hope to hear
from them yet.
The parade, the literary exercises, the
children's entertainment and the fireworks
will all be made features of the greatest
interest and pleasure. All Of the schools
of the county have been invited to actively
participate in the exercises and the whole
county is urged to be present and enjoy
itself on Independence Day. Give it out
sharp and loud that we are going to have a
grand and glorious Fourth of JULY"

The jury in the Frank Edwards Case
Yesterday Failed to Agree.
Frank Edwards, charged with burglary,
was tried before Judge Armstrong and a
jury in Department One of the Superior
Court yesterday.
The defendant was charged with bur-
glarizing the Chinese store of Suie On &
Co., 500 X street, on March 14th. At about
3 A. NJ. of that day the front window of the
| store was broken in and a number of
watches and other articles of ieYelry were
abStracted
The evidence in the case was entirely
| circumstantial. 1t was shown that the de-
| tendant had offered for sale on the street
| during the day of the burglary a watch
| which was claimed to be one of the articles
| stolen. He was arrested some time subse-
quent to the robbery, and has since passed
| the time in the County Jail. The defend
ant claimed to have bought the watch of q
stranger on the street.
Defendant testified that he came from
| Plttsburg, Pa, and that he was carpenter
and modeler. Had worked for different
| concerns in the city, doing ODD Jobs of
| different kinds.
| Officer Dunlevy, who made the arrest,
| testified that the prisoner resisted and that
| when he had arrested the defendant, at the
| corner of Fourth and L streets, man, sup
posed TO be a partner" of the defendant,
| rushed out from saloon and struck wit
ness; that witness was knocked down and
defendant escaped, and both men ran
| away. He was arrested later at the corner of
Fourth and K streets by officers Lowell and
| Arlington.
After consultation of over two hours the
jury came in and reported that no agree
ment was possible, and was discharged by
| the Court.

Elsie Harcourt Admits that She was
Gone" On a Burnt-Cork Artist.
After hearing the story of Elsie Harcourt
(which appeared in the RECORD UNION yes
terday), Chief of Police Lee telegraphed to
Chief Crowley of San Francisco to ascer-
tain whether or not the girl was telling the
truth as to her having recently left a con-
vent in San Francisco. On yesterday re-
ply was received, stating that Elsie Har-
court had not been an inmate of st. Joseph
Convent (where she claimed she was from
since upward of three years ago.
Upon receiving this dispatch, Chief Lee
showed 1t to the girl, who then confessed
that she had been telling falsehood about
the whole affair. She said that for several
years past she has been living in San Fran
cisco with a lady named Mrs. Jennie Nc
Lain, of 1124 Pine street, having been
adopted from the convent by her Mrs.
McLain, the girl claims, has daughter, a
grass widow, and that both herself and
Mrs. McLain's daughter are decidedly
gone" on some OF the burnt-cork mem
bers of the Goodyear, Cook & Dillon troupe
She admits that she told falsehood when
she said the men were her brothers, and
says She packed her trunk and proposed to
follow them, but that her funds grew short.
She told Chief Lee that she was willing
to return to her home and conduct herself
better hereafter, and she was sent to San
Francisco on the afternoon train yesterday

THIRD AND LAST.
The Concluding Chapter in the Hussar
Company's Imbroglio.

The Concluding Chapter in the Hussar
Company's ImbrogIio.
! The RECORD UNION has published two
accounts of the little war inside the ranks
of the Sacramento Hussar Company, and
to-day gives place to Mr.. Noble Fishers
statement o: the affair. All the points at
issue have now been covered in these COL
umns, and this must end the matter, so far
as this paper is concerned:
EDS. RECORD UNION: In view of the fact that
my name has been prominently used in connec-
ton with dispute in the Sacramento Husser
Company, and recognizing that such prom1-
nence has wrought me considerable harm in
the community, l ask you to exercise that spirit
of fairness for which you have been Justly
praised in the past, and give me an opportunity
to defend myself against such attacks.
The present controversy is based on the re-
port of committee consisting of MeSsrs. Hub
bard, Guthrie, White, Ryan and Miller. The
report of said committee sets out with the state
ment las published in your issue of this
morn1ng) that was adjudged guilty
OF insubordination for reason OF the
fact that 1 refused to recognize, in the
capacity of First Lieutenant, a member of
the company holding The position of Sergeant.
Said position of Sergeant is an appointable one,
and that of Lieutenant is elected by the COM
pany, and must be confirmed at the following
meeting, or such election is not consummated,
and is consequently void. So, when Lieutenant
Davis turned the company over to member,
and addressed that member as Lieutenant
Greenlaw, he (Greenlaw) being only Sergeant
in the company, and thereby ignored the next
officer in command (himselG. who was then
present, and assumed the right to ignore the
elective character of the position of Lieutenant,
his acts ceased to have the stamp of authority,
for the power vested in the ranking officer is
explained by the Constitution of the organiZa-
tion. And when we take the latter part of the
committees report, which holds that said
Greenlaw was not elected, nor was he at any
time Lieutenant in said cavalry company, the
as it is not charged that 1 disobeyed any other
command of Lieutenant Davis And further,
to strengthen my position, said Greenlaw, when
addressed by Lieutenant Davis as Lieutenant
Greenlaw," had no insignia of such position of
Lieutenant that would warrant his recognition
in such capacity. II. FISHER.

Is THERE DANGER?
Fears of the People Residing Beyond I
North Ieyee.

Fears of the People Residing Beyond the
North Leyee.
James Holland, who resides Just beyond
! and the American river bridge, near Twelfth
street, called at this Office yesterday after
noon and stated that he and his neighbors
desired public attention called to opera
owned by Joseph Bauquier, north of B
street and running from Fifteenth to Twen-
ueth. These lots, he says, are in the old
| river bed and have been filled in with sed-
iment and sand, upon which willows have
grown up and assist in the protection of the
north levee. They are now high enough
to keep the river in the new channel, ex-
cept at very high water, when they are
overtiowed, but still rhe current passes
farther north and goes under the new
bridge.
Mr.. Holland SAYS that preparations are
now being made to take from the blocks
owned by Mr.. Bauquier, between Sixteenth
and Twentieth streets, from 55 900 to 70, 900
cubic yards of sand and sediment, to be
used in grading the State Capitol Park;
that in order to get that amount of material
1t will be necessary to excavate, the fnll
eight feet, and that it will result in turning
the whole American river back into the
old channel, destroying the property of
those who have built up homes in
that section and endangering the north
levee. He thinks that even if the
north levee should prove strong enough 10
Withstand the current which will thus be
thrown against it, thatit will surely destroy
the road from the railroad crossing to the
new American river bridge, and the prop
erty of all the people residing in that neigh
borhood. Mr.. Holland believes it to be
| the duty of the City Trustees and the Board
o Supervisors to send out a competent
engineer to investigate the matter and de-
termine how far such excavations may be
safely carried.
Ex-Sherltf NJ. NJ. Drew, who has the con-
tract for grading the Park, was seen by q
| representative of the RECORD UNION later
| in the day and asked in regard to the mat
ter. be said that the proposed work would
| not endanger the north levee in the
slightest degree; that the material was to
| be taken out above Sixteenth street and
several hundred yards north of the levee :;
| that there was no intention of jeopardizing
| anybody's property, and he did not think
it would do so.
Mr.. Hollands fears may be groundless,
but he has lived there many years and
| ought to know what he is talking about.
At all events, the city and county author
tiles ought to have the matter thoroughly
investigated. Mr.. Drew certainly does not
desire to do anything which will endanger
| the city, and it will not cost much to find
out exactly what the result of the excava-
tions will be.

Back From His wanderincs

J. l.. Scott, an employe in H. G. Mays
produce store, who was reported to have
left the town after ball game some weeks
ago, has turned up all right, and was well
coming his friends last evening. He states
that after the ball game he went home, but
found no one there. 1t was his intention
to tell his wife that he was going to San
Francisco 10 seek employment, but he did
not have an opportunity to so inform her.
When hereached the Bay he telegraphed to
his mother in this city, but the family had
already gone in search for him. and his ab-
sence made quite stir. His wife met
him at the Bay day or so afterwards, and
everything was explained. He has secured
q position in San Francisco, and will re.
move there with his family in short time.

SUBSTITUTE FOR SLING SHOTS.
The Dangerous Weapon Lately Placed
the Hands of Young Bows.

The Dangerous Weapon Lately Placed in
the Hands of Young Boys.
There is an ordinance prohibiting the use
of sling shots by boys, but they have found
another instrument for manning song birds
and shooting out the eyes of other children
that is as much worse than a sling-shot as
a cannon is worse than popgup. 1t is a
wooden gun, from which a large BIB shot
| is thrown by means of powerful spring.
This weapon shoots with as much accuracy
at twenty yards land almost as much force)
as target rifle. Scores of boys are armed
with these dangerous weapons, and go
| about killing ana manning the song birds
in Capitol Park and along the streets in the
residence portion. If by accident or design
| one of the little bullets thrown from a gun
of this character should strike a person in
the eye, that organ would be ruined, if in
deed the shot did not penetrate the brain
and cause death.
With each boy armed with one of these
guns there generally goes crowd of
youngsters, and as boys are proverbially
| careless in the use of weapons of all kinds,
there is strong probability that some of
them will soon make work for the Coroner,
If allowed to go about the streets armed
with these instruments of death.

Confusion Arising From the Detention of
Witness in the Wrong Jail.
The case of the People VS. George and
Mary Jackson, charged with robbing w.
n. Bracket of clothing and money, in a
house Of ill-repute, several months ago
was called in Department One of the Su-
perior Court yesterday.
R. NJ. Clarken, attorney for the defense
informed the Court that some time ago he
had had subpoena issued for an important
witness named Mary Gale; that the officers
had been unable to find her, and that he
had just learned that she was confined in
the City Prison.
Investigation revealed the fact that Of
ticer Franks, knowing the woman to be
wanted as a witness in this case, and, meet
ing her on the street last Saturday, had ar
rested her and taken her to the City Prison,
as before stated. The Court read a lecture
to the officer for his action in thus impris-
oning person in the wrong Jail and with
out orders from any Court, and the motion
of defendants counsel for a continuance
was granted.

assisted the ladies in providing for the COM
fort of the little folks, and in arranging
with Conductor Murry to look after them
while passing over his division of the road,
and also to pass the word along the line to
other conductors to make it pleasant for
the young travellers. Mr.. Steinman ordered
large basket of lunch to be prepared, but
found that the ladies had provided abundant
supplies for the journey. The names of
the children were written on a tag, and fas-
tened around the neck of each with rib
bon
These children fare brothers and sisters
of the little girl over whose custody there
was lately so much litigation. Until her
case Is finally settled she will of course re-
main with the family in whose custody
she now is by order of the Superior Court.
