MAMIE BROWNS CASE.
The Girl is Released, but Her Mother
Receives a Searching.

The Girl is Released, but Her Mother
Receives Searching.
The examination in the Police Court yes
terday of Mamie Brown, the 17-year-old
miss who was arrested Sunday night at
the instigation of her mother, turned out
to be quite an interesting affair.
Mamie was accused of disturbing her
mothers peace, over week ago. Mrs.
Brown took the witness stand and de-
scribed the disturbance wildly. at oc-
CURED in the morning" she said, before
breakfast. Mamie was sitting in the kitchen
on the stove, and -"
WAS it hot one?' interrupted Judge
Buckley.
mo, Judge; wanted to make fire, and
she wouldn't get off the stove for me.
called to my son (Mamie's half brother
and he threw her eff the stove. She then
called me names, threw a stove-lid at me
and was going to hit me with lamp. She
is not of age yet, and won't be for twenty
one months yet. All l want, Judge, is to
have her locked up until she is of age"
George Donahue, the girls half-brother,
corroborated his mothers statements, but
was much more bitter in his denunciations
of the girls conduct. He denied that he
wanted to get Mamie out of the way, in Or
der that he might get hold of the mothers
property.
Mamie then took the stand, and in an
swer to questions by her attorney, Frank
Estabrook related shocking story OF the
neglect and ill-treatment she had received
from her mother and brother. Her mother
formerly kept saloon, and there the child
took her first taste of liquor, and subse-
quently no objection was made to her
drinking her fill at any time. The mother,
she said, associated with some of the low
est women in Sacramento, and the witness
proceeded to name them lin fact, some of
them were at that very moment in Court in
the company of Mrs. Brown. The girl
said it was common thing for her to come
home and find her mother and these cro-
MES all blind drunk and lying upon the
floor. The witness said she tried to get
along, but as a rule was treated like a dog.
Referring to the stove episode related by
the mother, the girl explained that she was
sitting on chair, with her feet on the
hearth of the stove. Her mother came in,
and without word of warning struck her
upon the head with her fist. at the same
time telling her to get out of the way.
Then, as she did not move quick enough,
the brother seized her and threw her
heavily to the floor.
Judge Buckley promptly found the girl
not guilty. In doing so he directed some
very scathing remarks to Mrs. Brown. He
referred to the foul atmosphere in which
she had raised her child, and said it was
her own fault if the girl was bad.
The audience cheered the Judge loudly
when he had concluded his remarks.

RUNNING Low.
The General Fund in the State Treasury
Quite Exhausted.

The General Fund in the State Treasury
Quite Exhausted.
The general fund in the State Treasury,
from which is paid the salaries of the State
officials and the appropriations made by
the Legislature, has been in an almost ex-
hausted condition since last August, and
will be in such condition until about Janu-
airy, when the fund will be replenished by the
addition of the States portion of the years
taxes, which it is estimated will amount to
between six and seven millions of dollars.
Up to yesterday the general fund, accord
ing to the books of the Controllers office,
was overdrawn to the extent of 1894 983,
which sum represents the amount of out
tarding warrants. Over 1000 warrants
have been issued since the beginning of
the fiscal year, and all warrants up to and
including the number of 1858 on the gen.
eral fund, are now payable, as there is
some $58,000 left in the fund for that pur-
pose.
The exhausted fund has not discom-
NODDED the officials, clerks, the laborers on
the grounds, or others employed at the
Capitol building, as the State Treasurer has
been paying the warrants, the understand
ing being with the State Board of Examin-
ers that the paid warrants should bs count
ed as cash until the fund is replenished. If
this was not done those mentioned would
have to go without their salaries until
January.

The Rev. A. T. Needbam delivered an
address last evening on the subject of the
Relationship of Employer and Employe,"
at the Young Mems Christian Association
Hall. He took the ground that the lot Of
the average retail clerk was the hardest of
any workman-that more was required Of
him than in most any other position. He
stated that most criminals were furnished
from the classes of business which required
the longest hours, and cited some statistics
showing that 81 per cent. of criminals came
from the clerks, while but Is per cent.
were from mechanics, and gave as a reason
therefor that the long hours usually re-
quired of clerks prevented them from hav-
ing time for recreation and improvement;
and when they were released atnight there
were no good places for them to go to. He
spoke highly of the largely prevailing Gus
tom of early closing in Sacramento, and
then went on to say that, such being the
case, it was the duty of employees and
clerks to use their evenings to advantage.
The audience was a good one, consider
ing the counter attractions and weather.
This wss the first of course of popular
talks to be given by the Association.

STAGE OF THE RIVER.
ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater last night
the Milton Mobiles Dramatic Company APP
peared to good house, when the inclem-
ency of the weather is taken into consider
alton. The piece was From Sire to Son"
and is from the pen of Mr.. Mobiles, who
enacted the leading role. 1t is strong
drama, better than anything given here by
Mobiles. 1t is involved in an intricate plot,
but the story is clearly told. The company
is good one throughout, and its capacity
accounts for the long engagement it played
at the New California rheater, San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Mobiles has improved in his
choice of subjects, and acts with
more care and better appreciation
of the emotions Dollie Mobiles proved eff
ficient as the leading lady, and in the last
act was especially strong and effective
surprisingly so. The audience was well
pleased and heartily expressed its satisfac-
| ton There were some very handsome
scenic and mechanical effects. To night
will be the last of the engagement, and the
play will be Love and Law also written
| by Mr.. Mobiles. 1t is understood to be
comedy throughout, and of very pleasing
order. The company is certainly equal to
! good comedy work.

The snarhoat seizsr.

The United States snagboat Seller and
barge are laid up on the river front in
charge of Waterman, awaiting orders to
go TO work clearing the river of snags. 1t
is said that the order will probably not be
given until Congress makes an appropria-
ton for this purpose, which will not be tor
several months yet. This year, owing to q
lack of funds, the Seller was in operation
but two months, in July and August. The
preceding year the boat operated four
months, and in the preceding year seven
months.
1t is expected that the present Congress
will make an appropriation sufficient to al
low the boat to work during the entire
coming year. Captain Rogers, in command
of the Seller, is reported i'll at his home in
