Another young man cut off Prematurely by the stern reaper, Death, is strong reminder of the uncer- talnty of Life and the transitory nature of all human enjoyment. Ned Ryan, as he was best known by his friends, was a young man of more than average ability
 and, had he lived to maturity, could have carved out for himself successful and honorable career. For some years, he showed signs of impaired health, but kept on with his work. Last Spring, il became evident that he was the victim of that fell disease consumption. Hop Ing that change of climate might arrest tic ravages of diseasc, he went to Colo rado, but gradually grew worse and, fin

Catherine H., wife of Philo l.. Bassett. died ot strangulated hernia. She was 6a years old.
 The funeral of Rebecca A., wife of John S. Edwards, was attended from the Episcopal church at o'clock, Sunday afternoon, Rev Mir Magill officiating. The pail bearers were William Bucking- ham, Charles Beard, LeanderJ Wheeler, samuel F. Buckingham, Eliakim l.. Walker and Jay NJ. Hubbell. The inter- ment was in the Lawn cemetery. Mrs Edwards leaves four grown children and husband. Two of the children are in California and were not present at the funeral. The two here are Daniel, the photographer and Abigail, wife of Elihu Lewis of East End, Bridgeport. Mrs Edwards was 75 years old and has long been known as a kind neighbor, faithful wife and mother and Christian woman. At the fellowship meeting, last week Wednesday, the attendance was not as large as had been expected, yet there was a fair audience present. The meet ings were interesting. Out of the ten or more clergymcn invited, only three were present, besides the pastor, Rev Mir Park. At the collation at noon, an abundant amount of good things to refresh the in- ner man were provided by the ladies of the church, who never do things by halves. At the extra meetings, held this week, Rev Mir Ganan of New Haven Is assisting Rev Mir Park. We understand that Mir Ganan used to preach on White Hills some 25 years ago.

ootle blllle aSOi us d IOuf-nluie team drawing heavy timber was passing the upper bridge near the Georgetown wire factory, the sleepers gave way and the bridge canted over, but did not entirely collapse. The leaders, fortunately, were on terra tirma, preventing a serious aeci- dent and saving the town big bill. No damage was done to the team or wagon. The lower bridge near the depot is also considered unsafe for the passage of heavy loads. On Saturday, the select men contracted with Stephen Sanford to erect two new bridges at cost of $125. He expects to have them ready for the passage of teams in week or 10 days.

STAMFORD.
SOUTHERN OYSTER BEDS.

During the past two or three years, H. J. Lewis has been Investigating the oyster growth in southern waters to as certain whether it may be made capable of cultivation. In order to enable him to experiment upon these grounds, it became necessary for some special legis- lation in the States of Georgia and North Carolina and, during the past Summer, one of our prominent lawyers was sent South to take such steps as might be necessary to make the way clear for n thorough investigation. The matter was kept very quiet until recently, when other parties got wind of the busi- ness and there has been a good deal of excitement among our oyster men and visions of fabulous wealth to be gather ed from the southern oyster beds have occupied their exclusive attention. Men may be left of this valuable property and charges of betrayal of confidence and failure to make good promises made are freely indulged in by different parties interested in the scheme. The facts seem to be that MT Lewis, with his sharp business eye, has seen future possibili- ties of profit in the cultivation of south ern oyster beds and has taken such steps as to enable himself to reap any advanta- ges that may occur after thoroughly ex- amining and experimenting upon this new field. It is we'll known fact that the quality of southern oysters is far in- ferior to those grown in northern waters. If, by any process of cultivation, they can be brought up to the standard of excellence of the latter, then it would seem reasonable to suppose that the ex- pertinent might be called success and the promoters of the scheme reap good reward for the time and money they may have invested. It is said that Mir Lewis has not sufficiently satisfied himself this | can be done, to induce him to purchase any of these oyster grounds; though the probabilities are that, having had the matter so long under consideration, he has it so arranged that he can control any amount of gronnd he may wish for, if the results of his Investigations prove satisfactory. Ashbel Bond, another large oyster dealer here, accompanied by c. E. Stagg, has already started South with the view of securing any of this valuable territory not already pre- empted by Mir Lewis and his business associates.
 The sympathies of our townspeople are with Selectman D. c. Wood in his great aflliction. Mrs Wood has been i'll for some time with intermittent fever,
 but was thought to be getting along
 nicely, until organic disease of the heart
 developed itself and, in few hours, ter
 minated fatally. She was daughter of
 John s. Fray of the East End, Bridge
 port and, since her marriage to Mir Wood
 and residence in town, has won warm
 friends by her pleasant ways and kind
 deeds to the poor and afflicted. She leaves three small children. The funer-
 al services were held in the Congrega-
 tional church, interment at Union ceme-
 tery.

SAN FKANoI,oo's SHORTAGE.
The Discrepancy in the School Fun,
and the Proposed Remedy.

The Discrepancy in the School Fund
and the Proposed Remedy.
; Hon. John r. Briefly, of Los Angeles,
member of the Assembly, was in the city
yesterday on public business. In con-
versation with RECORD MON reporter he
touched upon school matters in San Fran
cisco county. He states that there is q
deficiency of 100000 in the school fund of
that county for the current year, and that
considerable perplexity exists in the minds
of the officials as TO the remedyin the case.
Mr.. Briefly, as is well known, has long
taken an active interest in the educational
affairs of the State, and part of his bust
ness here was the investigation of plan of
relief in the matter referred to. He found
that with the payments which will be made
to the State Treasurer by different counties
within the next fifteen days and the sum
now on hand, there will be about $3.50 coo
to the credit of the school fund. The State
Controller is inclined to believe that the
State Superintendent of Instruction NAV
make an apportionment from this fund
now-practically advancing money which
will be due that and other counties later
on. This would relieve San Francisco
county from her present unhappy predica-
ment, but Mr.. Briefly suggests, and very
seDsibly, that this should be done only
upon the condition that the Supervisors,
when they make levy during this month,
make 1t large enough to cover the present
deficiency and the running expenses of the
schools for the coming year.

ADJUSTMENTS,

The circus and menagerie of Sells
Brothers & Barrett exhibited here yester-
day afternoon and evening. The show is
mammoth affair. The street parade was
exceptionally fine. True to its reputation.
Sacramento rewarded the managers with
two large audiences, and it is now content
for another year. The menagerie of the
show contains twenty-five cages of animals
aud some twenty animals Oh foot in addi-
ton. The hippopotami were looked upon
with most interest, and next perhaps
the very fine exhibit of lions. In
the circus there were two rings, a
hIppodrOme track and a stage A very
large number of performers took part the
tumblers, jugglers, acrobats, trapeze per-
formers, japanese troupe and the drivers
being notably good. In riding there was
not superior excellence, if William Sells
bareback act be excepted. There was not
however, mediocrity in anything. At
times as many as six acts were given sim
ultaneously and with bewildering rapidity.
1t is very modern idea this doubling UP
OF acts and involves great expense and
the employment of q small army of per
| formers, bit to the lover of the sports
and feats of the ring it must be
confessed that the old-time one-ring per
Torrance is more satisfactory 1t does not
divide the attention and dilute the inter
est. Under the old system the performer
plays to his audience and his audience
gives him undivided attention, and as a re-
suit better appreciates the feats of strength,
grace and agility The Sells d Barrett
show is good by fulfllmeut to the very let
ter. 1t would be pleasanter for the people
and rebound to the credit of the manage
ment, however, if it would prohibit the
! score of peddlers from tramping over the
| crowded seats and shouting their wares in
tones that are annoying and break the at
! tentiOn to the performances in the rings.
! The yell and the twist of the mouth and
the imperdnence of some of these penny
grabbers are sufficient to justify indignant
blows straight from the shoulder The
management cannot defend either the
maintenance of several ticket. stands with
differing prices-the extortion of an extra
dime at one for tickets sold at the adver-
| tised price of admission at another, for
instance. The management will make
more money by abolition of the nuisances
| pointed out, than by countenancipg them.

SUPPOSED TRAIN RoBBER.
One of the Clipper Gap Robbers Thought
to Have Been Caught.


Sheriff Butler of Placer county arrived
IN the city yesterday with Jack Gorton
who was arrested in the East on suspicion
OF having robbed a stage in one of the
southern counties, but escaped conviction,
Gorton was rearrested, however, by Detec-
tive Thacker of Wells, Fargo & Co., for the
robbing of the railroad express car at Clip
per Gap last fall. On reaching the city vester-
day Gorton was taken to the office ofWells,
Fargo d Co., where Messenger Johnston,
who had charge OF the car that was robbed.
identified him as one Of the two men who
did the work on that memorable occa-
sion.
This man Gorton and George D. Gorton.
who claimed to have been his brother
were in this city some weeks prior to The
train robbery, and afterward went TO
Auburn, where they spent several DAYS.
Thacker learned from Messenger Johnston
that when the two robbers were leaving the
car one of them called the other Jack. !"
and he bore this fact in mind.
On Tuesday, December 4, 1883, the stage
from Mendocino City 10 Ingrams was
robbed of the mails and Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S treasure box. The express box con-
V.
Thacker suspicioned two young men
who claimed to be brothers, and
who had been engaged in chopping
wood for time in the vicinity of
Forestville, Sonoma county. These men
disappeared suddenly on December LIST, sf.
ter borrowing a couple of shotguns from
their neighbors. Thacker at once made nm
his mind that they were the same Gorton
brothers, George and Jack, who had been
in Sacramento and Auburn Just before the
train robbery. He was also convinced thar
they were the men who robbed the express
car and afterward the Mendocino stage.
Some weeks later stage was robbed in
San Luis ObIspo county, and again these
same men were suspicioued. Finally they
were traced to one of the Western States.
and Jack was arrested, but his brother
escaped. As before stated Jack Gorton
escaped conviction for the latter robbery,
but was rearrested for the Clipper Gap
affair
The officers have felt quite certain that
they had the right man, and now that the
prisoner has been identified by messenger
Johnston it would seem as if there was a
strong case against the prisoner.

To-Day's and To-Morrow's Games
Young BaIiz Signed as Pitchar

To-Day's and To-Morrow's Games
Young Baltz Signed as Pitcher
The Sacramento club goes to San Fran
cisco this morning to compete with the
Oaklands at the Haight-street grounds.
Burke and Roxburg will do the battery
work for the Sacramentos, but as vet it is
not known who the Oakland battery will
be.
Tomorrow at Snowflake Park the game
will again be between the same clubs.
when Baltz. the young twirler who did
up the Stocktons so ha 1dily last Thurs Jaw.
will occupy the box, Roxburg receiving
him. he will surely be given hard test
when the Oakland sluggeIs face him with
such batters as Hardie, Daily and others.
1t is understood that Krehmeyer and
Sylvester had a tilt at the ball grounds
the other day. From the story in circula-
ton it appears that Krehmeyer went from
the grounds over towards the saloon, when
Sylvester came after him, ordering him
back. krehmeyer replied that he wasn't
going into the saloon, but wanted to get a
drink OF water and started on again. Syl-
vester threatened him with a fine, but a
little thing like that did not bother the
Sacramento first baseman, and be kindly
invited Sylvester to pile on fines till he was
tired, at the same time saying that he
would do as he pleased. 1t is not known
whether or not Krehmeyer is out of pocket
From general talk it would appear that
Sylvester is not popular Captain, and
most of the nine are displeased. Many
think that if a load of responsibility were
placed on Veach he would make a good
Captain. Roxburg also seems to be a
favorite in the club.
