BELABoRED WITH A CLUB.
Joe Welch's Arm Broken, and His sku
Nearly So.

doe Welch's Arm Broken, and His Skull
Nearly So.
A young man named Joe Welch, who
had been on spree since Thursday night,
entered the saloon connected with the City
Hotel yesterday afternoon, and got in a
row with R. H. Mackall, the proprietor of
the place. Mackall landed WEIGH out in
the gutter and the latter retaliated by hurl-
ing couple of heavy rocks into the sa-
Mackall then armed himself with q
club, and. going out on the sidewalk, he
struck WEIGH several heavy blows on the
head with IL WEIGH threw up bis left arm
to save himself from the first blow. and
the result was broken arm.
WEIGH fell to the sidewalk in an uncon-
scious condition from the effects of the
blows on his head. A large crowd gath
cred around, and officer Harris was soon
on the scene, too. He secured convey
ance and took both WEIGH and Mackall to
the police station
Mackall states that the trouble grew out
OF his having caught WEIGH in the act of
picking customers pocket in the saloon,
and his (MackalPs) interference
WEIGH, who had recovered consciousness,
but was still in great pain, last night denied
that he had tried to rob anybody, and as
serted that Mackall became enraged because
OF losing fifteen cents by shaking dice with
him, and out of revenge threw him out
into the street.
After leaving Mackall at the Police
Station. officer Harris returned to the
saloon to secure the club used in the
assault. He was interfered with in the
discharge of his duty by Dan Sullivan, the
barkeeper, and another young man, both
of whom he arrested

ERRATIC MABEL.

She Changes Her Testimony Once More
in the Chinese Murder Case.
The preliminary examination OF All
Gong, the supposed murderer of Ly See
Guey, alias Suey Kay another heather, a
couple of weeks ago, was resumed before
Police Judge Buckley yesterday forenoon.
A Chinese cigar dealer named Chong
testified that he had heard the prisoner
threaten the life OF the deceased.
Mabel Bryant, the colored girl who posi-
lively identified Gong at the Coroner's in
quest as being the murderer, but who - fell
down ]" on her former testimony Thursday,
was called for further cross examination.
she had evidently been appraised of the fact
thai she was laying herself liable to prose
cution for perjury, and she was very care
tul in giving her testimony this time. On
Thursday, it will be remembered. she
could not identify All Gong at all, but yes
terday, she reiterated her testimony as
given before the Coroner.
Some more Chinese testimony was ad-
duced, establishing the fact that the de-
ceased had been frequently threatened by
All Gong, after which further hearing OF
the case was continued until to-day.

Making 1t Lively for the PoIioe-A Jail
Full of Criminals.
The police had Veritable picnic yes
terday and last night. IN addition to the
Mackall Welch fracas in the afternoon.
there were several disturbances in the
evening. A little before 10 o'clock there
was vigorous blowing of police whistles
on Third street, between | and J and off,
GERS Coffey, Rider and Carroll responded.
They found three japanese on q very lively
"toot' and abusing Chinaman, and they
were arrested and locked up. 1t seems that
| Japanese colony has lately planted itself
here, and from all appearances ii would ap-
pear that they are not going to prove very
desirable settlers. They have established
brothel on Third street, bat don't seem
! to look with favor on Chinese visitors. The
three male Japs were all booked for dis
! turbing the peace.
While this side-show was in progress
| more serious affair came off at the some-
| what notorious California House, on Front
street. 1t seems that one of the patrons of
the place had disagreement with Antoine
Seiglin, the proprietor, and struck the lat.
| ter, whereupon Seigiin seized a new and
| Misunderstanding billy" about a foot
and half long and two and half inches
/ in diameter, made of heavy ash, and as
| saulted the man in 8 brutal manner, in
| fiicting no less than seven terrible looking
scalp wounds. Indeed, the mans head
looked as if it had come in contact with
| the cylinders OF thrashing machine.
Some one gave an alarm, and officers
Franks, Harvey and Agner fastened to
the place and took both men to the City
Prison. The injured one was placed in
the Receiving Hospital and the City
Physician summoned, who dressed his
| wounds. Seiglin was locked up on a
charge OF assault to murder.
The cell doors had hardly closed upon
him when officer Chambers came in with
| one of the class of worthless characters
designated as "toughs," who was locked
up, and the officer rushed off, saying he
would 'also get the woman" The name
the prisoner gave was Andrew Pierce, and
he was charged with malicious mischief.
These, together with the usual force of
John Does and Mary Roes, ct al. made up
very numerous and noisy gang within
the prison wells.

ORANGE WALES WATER SYSTEM
An Enterprising Development of tn
County's Natural Resources.

An Enterprising Development of the
County's Natural Resources.
The laying of the very elaborate system
of water pipe on the lands of the Orange
Vale Colonization Company, in this coun-
ty, designed to bring water under pressure
for irrigation and domestic use to every
portion of the colony, is being rapidly
pushed, and it is expected that the water
will be turnedinto the pipes about the 10th
of next month. The company has already
planted five hundred acres in orchard, in
Guiding some forty or fifty acres IN oranges.
The thrifty appearance of these trees, grown
so far without irrigation, is the best evil
dence of the peculiarly favorable conditions
OF soil and climate for fruit culture, but the
Directors of the company believe that the
natural advantages can be still further en-
HANGED by little judicious irrigation at
the proper season. The success of the COM
pany has been so great, most of the planted
tracts being already sold, that it is making
extensive preparations for next season s
planting

MILITARY TOPICS.
The Election for Major of the First Artil-
lery Regiment-Notes

The Election for Major of the First Artil-
lery Regiment-Notes.
An election for Major of the First Artil-
lery Regiment, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Msjor Fred Nearv,
was held at Armory Hall last evening.
From rumors it was thought that nomina-
tons for the position would be numerous,
and at the same time there seems to be a
bit of ill-feellng between certain officers of
the regiment which does not speak well
for its members. Before the election for
Major came off one officer, who was
among the candidates. was approached by
hall dozen or more of the com u issioned
othcers and told that if he would pledge
himself not to vote for a certain officer IN
the regiment, when that officers term ex-
pired, they would support him for the
position OF Major. This state of affairs is
not creditable 10 the regiment, and ii is
thought that all of the ill-feeling is directed
toward the commanding officer. How
ever, II every officer has the welfare of his
regiment at heart, he will let petty personal
anlmosities of this character drop.
Contrary to expectations, the election
passed of smoothly, and Lieutenant J. P.
Kennedy, late of the Signal Corps, was the
only person nominated, and he was unani-
mously elected. Major Sherburn, of the
Fourth Brigade staff, presided, and the
different officers present made compli.
mentary remarks concerning the newly
elected Major.
Frank L Quinn, who has been First Ser
geaDt of Company E for the past two years
has been appointed Sergeant Major of the
regiment.
Six large boxes of new regulation cork
helmets have been received at the armory,
and are to be soon distributed among the
companies, each receiving about sixty.
Nearly all the companies have received
the balance of their new uniforms and
equipments, and will present a fine ap-
pearance at camp, which is to be held at
Santa Cruz for seven days, commencing
August 18th

1t Plays Hob With the Department Again
Yesterdays Blaze.
About half-past o'clock yesterday after
noon the residence occupied by Mrs G. ].
Turner and family, at Seventeenth and 81
streets, caught fire, and nearly the entire
upper story was ruined by fire and water.
A piano and a few articles of furniture were
all that was saved, and the family escaped
only with the clothes they had on their
backs.
The fire is said to have started in the
front room on the second floor, from gas
jet that had been repaired but few mo-
ments before. A sort of explosion occurred
and in remarkably short space of time
all was ablaze. There was Insurance on
the furniture, and also on the house.
Chief Engineer O'Meara states that the
department was badly handicapped, owing
to the fact that an alarm came in from
boxes 81 and 81 at the same time, and the
gongs in the engine-houses completely be-
wildered the fremen. Engine No. 2. on
Tenth street, did not leave its house until
No. l had got to Tenth street. not knowing
where to go. Chief O'Meara himself ran
his horse up TO Fifteenth and N streets, and
| then over to the scene of the fire, and the
engine on Nineteenth street ran down
town. However, the engines afterward put

FINE STRUCTURE.

Supervisors Pay Visit to the New
Bridge Over the Mokelumne.
Supervisors Ross and Greer, members of
the Committee on Roads and Bridges, .ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Beckley and
RECORD UNION representative, yesterday
visited the new bridge across the Mokel-
umne river recently constructed by this and
San Joaquin counties jointly. The bridge
is one of the best in this county, and will
open up traffic through rich farming Sec
ton along that stream. The location of
the structure is several miles west of Nc
Connelrs Station and just below the con-
nuence OF the Costumes and Mokelumne
rivers.
The purpose of the Supervisors in visit
ing the locality yesterday was TO confer
with property-owners in that vicinity and
Read Overseer be uston in regard to open-
ing road from the main road running
south from franklin 10 the bridge Con-
siderable work will be required to make a
roadway across short stretch of country
that is raversed in winter by numerous
sloughs and wet places.
The land through which the immediate
approach to the bridge must run is owned
by the Messrs. Clam, two wealthy and
puollc-spirited citizens of that neighbor-
hood. Although these gentlemen were
not seen yesterday it was learned that they
| have signiied their willingness to give the
! county the right of way over their property
| to the bridge. As soon as this is done the
Supervisors will instruct Road 0verseer
Houston to proceed at once with the work
of constructing the new road.
| 1t is very important to the residents of
| that part of the county that this bridge
should be utilized. With good road on
the Sacramento side of the river, leading
out to the present county road, rich
corner of San Joaquin county will be
| brought into business relations with Sac
| ramento. as it is nearer to this city than to
| Stockton. The Supervisors are DESTROYS of
going right ahead with the work, and there
is every reason to believe it will shortly be
completed and the road opened for travel.
