Major Heuer's Response to the Produce
Exchanges Request.

Major Heuer's Response to the Produce
Exchanges Request.
The Produce Exchange lately adopted
resolutions strongly urging the removal of
certain snags from the Sacramento river
above Butte City. 1t was set forth that
these distractions so impeded navigation
that unless removed Immediately it will be
impossible for steamers to bring down the
grain now ready for shipment. A copy of
this resolution was sent to Major VIII.
Heuer OF the United States Engineer Corps,
with the request that the snag- boat now
idle be ordered to remove the distractions.
In his response Msjor Heuer SAYS: 1T
is probable that the distractions referred to
will soon be removed"
When some OF the San Francisco grain
dealers read this they became profane.
+" Probable is not what we want" said
one. I'VE want those snags taken out.
There are thousands of sacks of grain up
there waiting to come down, and every day
the river is falling. The steamer men saw
that they cannot get by the distractions
with load of any consequence There is
a snag-boat here idle, and Major Heuer has
funds to use for just such work as this.
he won't even go and see the difficulty.
and now he says it is probable those snags
will be removed"
The following dispatch was sent yester.
day to Congressman Clunie by tine Pro-
duce Exchange: please see proper author
ltles and request that the United States
snag-boat be Immediately set to work in
Sacramento river above Butte City. Unless
boat goes to work at once all freishtipg
above Butte City must cease"

Baseball Notes.

Roscoe Coughlin led the batting list of
the Interstate League. While with Evans
vile he played five games, was twenty-five
times at bat, and made eight hits, giving
him percentage of 1868.
An exchange advises that ball PLAYERS
save their money. Salaries are destined 10
take an awful drop next season, and Petey
Outcurve won't be able to draw a United
States Senator's salary for "troing de balln
for couple of hours three days in the
week.
Concerning the squabble over the own
ership of pitcher Coughlin's services, the
Breeder and Sportsman says: ~Coughlin
gives his reasons, which were purely busi-
ness ones, for signing with Sacramento,
and backs his statement with kilograms
which passed between the managers and
himself. There is no doubt of Coughlin's
honesty, and we believe his actions will be
fully vindicated at the meeting of the Di.
rectors. This will place those who sought
to iniure his reputation by declaiming
against his heretofore undisputed honesty
In Just about the same position as they
endeavored to make him appear in"
Manager Enwright holds that beyond
doubt, Coughlin belongs to the Sacramento
Club, and he proposes to hold him.
Coughlin, himself, would do doubt be the
best witness in the case, and his testimony
ought to be heard. He SAYS he received
Saclamento's acceptance" first, and con-
cludes that this settles the matter.

The Morning Game.

STOCKTON, July 20th.-Kilroy pitched
fine bali to-day, the Senators finding him
for but two hits, but the two errors by
Fudger and Holiday were large enough to
give the Sacramentos two runs and the
game. Only three Sacramentos reached
first, and they scored. Hoffman was given
grand support. and outside of three inn.
ings, the hits made off him were well scat
tered
The Stocktons scored two runs in the
second inning on Fogarty being hit by a
pitched ball, two steals, sacrifice and a
pair of singles.
Sacramento evened up matters in the
third. Fudger dropped Reitz's fly, McHale
sacrificed, and Hoffman sent liner over
Holidays head, for home run, that he
was slow to field.
In the sixth inning Goodenough planted
single over second base that Holiday
failed to block, and Goodenough made the
circuit, scoring the third run.
Although the Stocktons punched three
singles in the ninth, they could not score
Fudger raped out one, and Fogarty hit q
liner TO Hoffman, who made one handed
catch and doubled up Fudger at first Arm

EXCITING RUNAWAY,
A Pair of Car Horses Which Developed
Unusual "Gingero

1
Unusual "Gingero
Shortly before o'clock last evening,
and while the streets were crowded with
people just starting on their evening
walks, pair of horses got away from the
driver of street car at the depot and
dashed through Third street at q wild
pace, carrying the tongue of the car be.
tween them with the whiffietrees attached.
On reaching X street they tried to turn
up that thoroughfare, but their momentum
was so great that it carried them across to
the sidewalk on the south side of the street.
Barely escaping q forced entrance to the
Chicago Hall dive, they took up the side
walk, scattering the pedestrians in all di-
rections, but fortunately running down
none.
The frenzied animals kept the sidewalk
to Fourth street and continued across to
Weinstock. Lubin & Co.'s corner Many
thought they would, in their blindness,
dash through the plate-glass windows. but
they kept to the sidewalk and ran to Fifth
street. Crossing the latter street to the
Pacific Hotel, they swung slightly to the
left and coliided with the corner post of the
heavy balcony in front of the hotel, carry
ing it away and colliding with the second
post with like result, and then with the
third.
Here the horses fell and were secured.
The balcony broke in the center and fell
part of the way to the street, where it
hung suspended until props were placed
under it. The horses, strange to say. did
not appear to be seriously injured.
The escape OF men. women and children
who were on the sidewalk was really mirac-
ulous. One infant had a very narrow es.
cape, and was saved only by the presence
OF mind of gentleman. The infant was
in its carriage on the walk in front of the
hotel. and in another instant the horses
would have been upon it. The gentleman
referred to (whose name was not learned)
saw the child's danger, and at the risk of
being himself run down he grabbed the
baoy-wagon and almost threw it into the
nearest doorway, with its precious load.
The runaway was one of the most sensa-
tlonal that had been witnessed on the
streets for many years.

THERE IS JAIL ROOM,
And the Jenniugs-wilson Gang Should
be Accommodated.

And the jennings Wilson Gang Should
be Accommodated.
a gang of toughs, composed of William
Jennings, fellow named Wilson, one Con-
stine, and one or two others, raided the sa.
loon kept by William Writ on Front
street, between NJ and N. last night, and,
after abusing the proprietor in the foulest
of language, started in to "clean out'' the
place. For weapons they used beer mugs,
revolvers and everything they could lay
hold upon.
A young man named Winters, who was
present with Others in the saloon, was set
upon and severely beaten by the rowdies.
Officers Gibson and Campbell sfterward
arrested Jennings and Wilson, who are
charged with disturbing the peace, carry.
ing concealed weapons and battery. At a
late hour the officers were out looking for
Constine and another of the gang.
Wirtz says these toughs have been max.
ing his life miserable for some time past.
Because he declines 10 give them LIQUOR
without cash equivalent therefor, they
have constantly abused and threatened him,
until his family are in mortal fear for their
lives

ments if the property owners would pay
three-quarters. At first there was some
strong opposition to the proposition, but
its economic character was finally proved
to the people. Last Wednesday an election
was held to settle the question, and By
vote of 9, ASS against 299 the people directed
the Trustees to issue bonds for 100000 at
five per cent. for twenty years. 1t is proba-
Bile now that eight miles of graveled streets
will be added this summer TO the present
paved streets, and it is anticipated that
there will be a general rush to improve the
roadways. Heretofore it has cost the city
twice what the loan will cost annually to
round up and smooth the dirt ON the streets

Yesterday Mornings Fires.

About half.past l o'clock yesterday
morning an alarm of Ere was turned in
from Seventh and J streets, caused by the
burning of some rubbish under a sidewalk
at Eighth and J. The fire was extinguished
before any damage resulted.
Shortly after O'Clock the department
was again called out in consequence of u
fire in the residence of o. A. Lovdal at
Sixteenth and o streets. 1t seems that a
child in some manner set fire to bedroom
on the second floor, but the flames were
not allowed to get beyond that room. the
contents of which were practically ruined.

To guarantee that return the attendance
must be sufficient to insure an average
daily income for the year round of little
less than $24 so from admissions. at five for
81, representing about 122 persons day.
But if power and steam are rented the
cost of engine and boilers, S. 900, is to be
taken out, leaving, with the pump, the cost
OF plant SIG, 400. The rental exactly equals
the engineers and fremen's salary, but fuel
is saved to the amount of $1,000. l leave
taxes the same, to be on the safe side, as in
the first case. The interest necessary to be
earned therefore would be reduced to ST.
las, and the running expenses to a
total of $62, 80, instead of SIS, sos. To paw
this sum would require an income daily,
the year round, of less than SIS, repre-
senting an average daily use of the baths,
at fee of five for the dollar, by SO per-
sons, or less than four for each one thou
sand of our population. But in this calcu-
lation l have made no account whatever
for single admission at twenty-five cents
from transients and those who do not buy
by the dollar lots. l have also placed the
sale of privileges much below the probable
income from that source of revenue From
May to the last of October the attend
ance in well-kept swimming baths would
far exceed $50 persons in the fifteen hours
peI udy tue udtuS WOulu De ODen, saw nom
A. NJ. to 10 P. NJ, and from November Ist
to May 1st might decline to less than thirty
day, and the yearly average of 50
still be maintained. But all reasonable
considerations justify the figure of 200 ad
missions daily on the average from May to
November, so that in the other months the
attendance could fall off to a nominal fig
ure and the expense account be much re-
duced in these off months and the result
not affect the profits. l have taken no ac-
count either in my figures for admissions
that do not take baths; and these are
always source of considerable revenue.
My calculations have all been of "bather-
income"
When the old bath, a poor and small
concern on K street, was kept at its best it
frequently had daily attendance of 800 in
the summer months. If the proposed baths
are put in a central locality then / have
put the privilege" income far too low.
However look at it. it seems to me that
the baths will pay just as do similar insti-
tutions everywhere else. Respectfully,
