Timothy Burns was before Judge Buck
ley yesterday charged with drunkenness
but was allowed to depart. Timothy will
be before Judge Buckley again to-day on a
similar charge, and will probably not be

itent when he stood up in the dock yester-
day. He was fresh from the sheep-ranges
of Yolo, where he had been working hard
He admitted his failing, and when the
Judge finally told him be might go he
pulled $50 gold piece from his pocket and
offered the Court IS of it on general princi-
Piles, supplementing the offer with an invi-
ton to the Judge to step out and join him

Timothy remarked, when asked if the
Office clerk had missed the $40, that the
latter had, and that it was luck for him
(Burns) that il was so. or he wouldn't have
seen ii again. He also uneartheda bank
check for 500, which had been overlooked

RESTORED TO DUTY.
Police Commissioners Find No Charges
Against Officer FraZaa.

Against Officer Frazee.
The Board of Police Commissioners met
yesterday to inquire into the case of police
officer Frazee, who was suspended some
weeks ago by Chief Lee for alleged intoxi-
cation while on duty. Mayor Gregory
called the Board to order and inquired if
there were any written charges on file
against the officer, and Clerk Larkin re-
piled that there were not. The Mayor then
stated the object of the meeting, and Chief
Lee made statement of the circumstances
under which the order of suspension was
made. He had always found Frazee to be a
faithful, industrious and vigilant officer,
and had placed him again on duty on the
LIST of the month, pending action by the
Board. No citizen had presented charges
against him, but on the contrary scores OF
persons living within the boundaries OF
Frazee's beat had called upon him to ask
that the officer be reinstated.
Captain Karcher and Police Judge Buck.
ley, also Mayor Gregory, spoke of the good
character, efficiency and reliability of the
officer, and of the deep interest felt by the
residents of his district in his case The
Mayor said that, as no charge had been
filed against FraZee, and as he had known
him long and well, he was disposed to deal
leniently with him on this occasion. 1.-The
had been a man who was in the habit oil
drinking to excess, it would be different
but he knew him as sober and conscien.
tious officer and uniformly good citizen. A
repetition, however of the act complained
of, would not be condoned by him.
Frazee made statement to the effect
that he had not been aware of INDUCING
to excess on the day that he is alleged to
have been under the influence of drink
but thought that possibly his system may
not have been in condition to Withstand
even moderate indulgence. The conduct
attributed to him was wholly beyond his
memory. He had always tried to lead an
upright life, and with this one exception
had nothing to regret.
The Board unanimously exonerated the
officer from blame, and as there were nc
formal charges to be met, directed him tC
resume his duties as heretofore.
The result is quite gratifying to The
many friends of officer Frazee, who agree
with the members of the Police Commits
sion. that he has been faithful and eff

EvADINa AN ORDER.

Disregard of an Attempted Reform Re-
garding Supreme Court Decisions.
At the April term of the Supreme Court
at Los Angeles. at the request of the bar of
that city, an order as to filing opinions was
made requiring that hereafter in all cases
the opinion of the Court shall be filed in
the Clerks Office of the district to which
the cases respectively belonged, and that
the time for petitioning for rehearing will
be computed from the date at which the
opinion is so filed in the local Office.
The object of the order was to enable at
torneys, particularly outside of San
Francisco, to file petitions for rehear-
ing in due time, it having come to
the notice of the Supreme Court
that in great number of instances
petitions failed to be filed in the specified
time, which is thirty days. dating from the
time the opinions were filed. owing to the
fact that they were filed in the San Fran
cisco Office.
But it appears that the object of the order
is being evaded by the Secretaries of the
Supreme Court in giving out the opinions
for publication in San Francisco, and at
the same time dating them as filed, when
as matter of fact they are not filed until
stamped as filed at the local Office.

The Museum Association will hold its
monthly meeting at the Art Gallery to-
night, when contributions will be made
and the work of the society discussed.
There is expressed a strong desire that all
members, life and active, will attend and
contribute by their presence to maintaining
the meetings and also endeavor TO enlarge
the membership. In the early life of such
an institution there is need for greater effort
than when it shall have gained great
strength as has, for instance, the Academy
of Sciences in San Francisco, in the early
years of which the membership had to
labor diligently to found it well. There
is crest deal of interesting work for the
Museum Association, and every member
ought to attend the meeting and inform
himself how best the institution can be
aided. The meeting tonight will be the
first held under the new administration
which should be encouraged in its efforts
to firmly found the Association and make
it useful to the city and State.

Sacramento Signs Catcher Roxburg
Veach and Mclaughlin Gases.

Sacramento Signs Catcher Roxburg
veach and Mclaughlin Cases.
A RECORD UNION reporter saw Manager
ellis, of the Sacramento Club, yesterday
afternoon, and in reply to query by the
former, as to whether or not he had signed
Roxburg as catcher, he said "You know
he has been playing with US, but 1 have
not signed him yet. If you will come
around in about five minutes you can get
an item 10 that effect" Roxburg was
signed late in the afternoon, and will catch
in next Saturdays game in this city, Hape-
man pitching.
In regard to the suspension of Veach,
Mr.. ellis informed the reporter that ii
might be longer than people thought. The
nine could play next Saturdays game, and
probably would, without Veach's presence
Breckenridge would take the latter's place
in the field, and Krehmyer go back to his
old position as first base.
From the manner in which the Manager
talked in regard to catcher Mclaughlin
case, it is exceedingly dubious as to wnether
or not Billy" will again be with the
Sacramento Club. He had left of his own
accord, because he wanted one thing and
the Managers another, and the latter
thought they were able to be their own
counselors.
