A Aurderous Mongol Shoots n Country
woman Three Times.
About 8 o'clock last night three pistol
shots were heard on Third street. between
| and ], and there was rush of Cinnamon
and white men to the spot. In one of the
little Chinese cribs on the east side of the
street, couple of doors north of the alley
was found a mob of excited, clamoring and
jabbering Chinese gathered about little
woman from whom blood was pouring in
three different streams.
The injured creature was carried into
Darkroom, and surgeon summoned. He
found that she was shot twice in the left
arm, and once in the right. One of the
shots in the left arm was between the
elbow and shoulder, and the other in the
wrist The latter had shattered the bones
in shocking manner. The shot in the
right arm WAS midway between the wrist
and elbow. The would-be murderer had
of course, escaped.
After the excitement had Gained down a
reporter learned the particulars of the af-
fair. 1t appears that a Chinaman named
All Hum came to the place little while
before, and tried to borrow some money
from the woman, but she refused him, at
the same time accusing him of having, on
former visit, stolen her opium-pipe He
became greatly incensed at the charge, and
went away. A little later the woman was
on the sidewalk, when All Hum ap-
preached her and said he would kill her.
She became alarmed. and ran for her door,
but before she could get it open he shot
her three times. as stated.
As the parties belong TO the same COM
pany, the matter will, of course, be settled
among themselves, and, even if the MUIR
derous villain should be caught By the DO
lice, none of those who witnessed the crime
would swear against him. Such is life in
Chinatown

Comments on the Ban-players.

In its baseball notes the Examiner of yes-

Well, for a tail-end club with twelve
managers, Sacramento seems to be doing
quite well.
Will some one please throw out a rope to
the San Franciscos? The boys are tearing
down the slide at rapid rate.
Burke always pitches great ball in Sac
ramento," said Whitehead, of the Stockton
Club, Saturday. He seems to have a
grudge against our town, and always lets
out an extra link when he pitches there"
From the fact that Stockton only got one
hit off the big pitcher Sunday. it would
seem that Whitehead has him sized up Just
about right.
Several members of the Sacramento Club
are again making an effcrt to secure the re-
instatement of George Borchers, the cratic
pitcher, into the California, League 1t will
!,e remembered that Borchers signed con-
tracts with several clubs last season and re-
ceived advance money from each one.
Now the SacTamentans have asked that if
they clear Up Bofchers' Indebtedness to the
clubs he has received money from will he
be allowed to play in the California League.
President None, when asked what course
he thought the league would take in the
matter, gave il as his opinion that the
black list on Borchers would not be re-
moved. Baseball" said the President, lis

The firm of Mobr & york, this city,
some time ago undertook the experiment
of supplying interior points with fresh
meat from their packing establishment
The evidence of the success of the enter
prise can no longer be questioned J. n.
Finlay, of Forest Hill, Placer county,
writes that, although the meat shipped
him, after leaving the railroad at Auburn
has to be hauled quite distance by stage,
yet it arrives in first class condition, and
can be kept much longer than meat pur-
chased in the local market For the pur.
pose of supplying the interior trade the
meat is prepared in an immense refrigera-
tor, where for several days it is kept under
freezing temperature, and is thoroughly
chilled through. For shipment, the meat
is then packed in an interior compartment
of refrigerator chest, which is then filled
with ice. Under these advantages Mehr &
york have built up large trade in diff.
ferent parts of the country. where fresh
meat cannot be had or kept during the
warm season.

City Expert Clarken Reports That Mos

City Expert Clarken Reports That Most
of the Offices are Well Conducted.
City Expert r. NJ. Clarken yesterday
submitted to the City Trustees his report
on the condition of the accounts of the
various city officials, as shown by the
transactions of the year from April l, 1888,
to April Z, 1880. In his preface to the re-
port, MFR. Clarken says: "As a general
thing, the books are perfectly correct An
exception or two will be noted in the
proper places"
The report first takes up the City
Justices offices aud gives the amounts paid
by them into the CITY Treasury.
The expert states that between the dates
given above City Superintendent Wilson
collected on lots sold and delinquent
81 506; exhumation permits for yesr end
ing April & 1889, $50; vault dues SIP 50
burial permits, 1866; total, IS pa so. This
total is shown by the Treasurer's receipts
and Auditors books.
On April II, 1889, Wilson handed Par
ker, his successor, S472 IS en- account of
collections which he had collected on lots
from April /, 1888 to April Z, 1889.
Says the report: There are no dates
showing the time of -these payments, but
Superintendent Parker proposes to ascer-
tairi the dates and make the proper entries.
On June 2 1888, Wilson gave receipt to
Reeves & Long for $13 rs as part payment
in cemetery lot owned by relatives of
Mrs. G. w. Chapel. This sum has not
been paid into the treasury nor to the pres
ent Superintendent"
Mr.. Clarken says II will volunteer the
assertion that there is no Institution over
which the city has control that requires
greater reformation and better management
than its cemetery 1t would repay the city,
at least in the reflection of having done a
duty to the dead, if ii inaugurated general
| Encouragement Of the records pertaining TO
this place of burial. The plat-b book is a
blurred. blotted, ill-kept thing, out of which
| it is difficult to obtain any information 1t
has been so for years"
The report shows that the District Attor-
| ney has collected delinquent city taxes
amounting to 81 ,276 g., and paid over $500,
leaving 1915 GO sill in his hands
The books the City Collector. Water Col

tendeut, City Auditor. Secretary of the City

Result of a Grand Jury Visit to I


Result of a Grand Jury Visit to the
Board of Supervisors.
There was lively racket in the Board OF
Supervisors room yesterday, which gave
az unusual spiciness to the ordinarily dull
routine of Supervisorial deliberations. A
committee, representing the Grand Jury,
comprising Messrs. William Boyne. F. F.
Thompson and George Rich, visited the
Board, and interrupted Supervisor Black
in the midst of one of his eloquent perora-
tons, by demanding that that body should
employ special counsel to assist the Jury
in prosecuting certain officials whom the
Jury say owe the county various sums.
For time the members of the Board re-
garded the matter as bit of dry humor on
the part of the committee, but, when
spokesman BoyDeintimated that ne hardly
expected the Board to grant the request for
counsel, and made it simply as matter of
form, the Supervisors began to show signs
of restlessness.
Supervisor Bates remarked that he
would be - fool to vote to employ
somebody to prosecute himself"
Juror Boyne continued to harangue the
Board, and finally he was interrupted By
Chairman Tebbetts, whose wrath had in
in no longer. He told Mr. Boyne that he,
for one, would not beinsulted in that man
ner, and would settle with him personally
outside the Board room.
Boyne replied that he could settle it out
side or inside, just as he pleased.
Things were getting up TO fever heat
about this time, and Sheriff McMullen,
who happened to be present, thought it
about time to interfere The committee
finally left in high dudgeon, promising TO
call at another time for the Boards answer
to the demand
District Attorney Brnner was seen By
RECORD UNION reporter in the afternoon
IN regard to the matter He said the Grand
Jury had applied to him to prosecute the
persons whom the Jury claims to be in
debted to the county, and he told them
there was nothing in it-that some of the
proposed actions could not be maintained,
and that it would be waste of money to
carry on such SUITS
1t will De remembered that the Grand
Jury, in its rather sensational report made
some months ago, charged that various
other county officials had employed I'M
necessary clerical help, and that the Super
visors had illegally allowed demands there
for. The latter body was also charged
with extravaganza in various ways.
Later in the afternoon, after the Board
had adjourned, Mr.. Boyne was conversing
with District Attorney Bruner, on street,
near Seventh, when Supervisor Tebbets
and Deputy County Clerk Scott came up.
Boyne says he thought that Tebbets was in
good humor as he approached. but learned
his mistake when the Supervisor landed
regular Sullivan lick on his (Boyue's) lett
ear. Then the two came together, and a
lively scrap" ensued until some friends
of the parties ran in and separated the
comb2tants

GALVESTON, TEX. Aug 13.-Andrew
Faulkner, the able general ticket and
passenger agent Of the Houston and
Texas Central, was in the city to-day
putting the finishing touches on the
through line passenger service from
this point TO Chicago. In an interview
with him he said it was mistake to say
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas would
make connections with the Hoaston and
Texas Central at Waco The connec-
ton would be made at Denison, and
there would be no differences in the
time between this route and that by
other routes. They would make the
same time and land passengers in Chi
cagO or Galveston without transfer as
quick as any other route could possibly
make it. He said
rive have superior rolling stock and
the men who know how to make them
roll as rapidly as any other
road, and by polite treat
ment and superior accommodations
we expect TO capture the through traffic
between Chicago and GALVESTON
The route as mapped out by Maj.
Faulkner, over which through passenger
traffic began last Sunday, is as follows:
Over the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
road to Hannibal, thence over the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas main line to
Denison, thence over the Houston and
Texas Central and into Galveston over
the Gulf, Colorado aud Santa Fe railway
After giving full instructions as to the
equipment of the general ticket Office
here, which is to be in charge of that ac-
complshed ticket agent, j. H. Miller,
Maj Faulkner returned to Houston this
evening well pleased with the arrange
ments he had made here for the success

through passenger traffic, which he was
largely instrumental in bringing about.
