A MISERABLE BRUTE.
A Case in Which the Whipping-P'
Would Come in Handy.

Case in Which the Whipping-POst
Would Come in Handy.
Andrew Walker made his temperance
in The Police Court yesterday in the role OF
a WIFE beater, and a miserable spectacle he
presented.
His wife, comedy, middle-aged lady,
with sad face, took the witness-stand and
reluctantly told of the constant abuse in
ficted upon her by her unworthy spouse,
of how she had to labor to support herself
and child. The particular assault for
which Walker was on trial occurred on
Monday. Walker demanded that his wife
give him money with which to purchase
liquor, and upon her refusal cruelty struck
her over the head with pail, and raised
such row that the police had to be sent
for.
Walker had no denials to make, but
hung his head and admitted his guilt. He
tremblingly begged tor mercy, and whined
about his inability to get work. He will
be sentenced to day.

Dangerous Target Practice.

Complaint is made by persons who
travel over the road which runs through
Oak Park from the Lower to tie Upper
Stockton road that their lives are constantly
endangered by the military target practice
there. The target is not large enough to
catch allthe bullets from the rifles of bad
marksmen and the deadly messengers go
straight across the road. 1t is said that in
some cases persons have had very narrow
escapes from being shot. The matter GER
tainly ought to be Investigated, and if it is
as reported the target ought to be moved.

THE DRAINAGE CANAL.

Mclaughlin and Wolf Would Not Attend
the Second Conference.
When the conference between the Board
of Supervisors and the City Trustees in
reference to the drainage canal broke up
on Tuesday evening, the Supervisors an
nounced that they would be on hand in
their rooms for a short while the next
morning, and they hoped the Trustees
would think the matter over and attend,
too. The Trustees all said they would-or
at least gave the Supervisors so to under
stand. The Supervisors were on hand
yesterday morning, and so was Mayor
Comstock, but neither Trustees Wolf nor
Mclaughlin showed up. A number of the
residents of the vicinity of the canal were
there, too. After half-hour wait, and no
signs of the missing Trustees, the meeting
adjourned, as the Supervisors had to catch
the 1850 train for Woodland, where they
were to attend the slickens conference.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Slater, the medium, drew another
packed house at Pythian Castle last even
ing and his exhibition was even better
than his previous ones. On Tuesday even
ing before dismissing his audience he gave
it out that the next entertainment (last
nights) would be something out of the
usual line, and he requested that those
who attended would bring with them pho
tographs, either of themselves, their rela-
tives or friends. About sixty photographs
were piled up on his table last night when
he commenced his exhibition. During
the evening he would now and
then pick out some person in the
audience. and, after telling him
or her about some dear friend, or relative,
giving the name, age and description,
would conclude by going through the pack
age of photographs and picking the iden-
teal one of the person he had been refer
ring to. One of these-his last test-was
particularly astonishing. He stepped over
to Miss Mohr, daughter of l.. B. Mohr, the
well known wholesale butcher, and told
her that she had brother in the spirit
land; that that brothers name was Rich
ard; that he died IN Germany. Then he
turned to the package of photographs and
picked out the picture of the dead brother.
Miss Mohr was visibly affected, but ad-
mitted that what Slater had said
was true. At the mediums request
she told the audience that she had never
spoken to him in her life regarding her
dead brother, and that he could not have
known anything about him. Slater then
proceeded to tell her of other deceased
relatives, calling them by name, and also
told her of other relatives who were living
The young lady admitted that he was cor
rect in each case.
Mr.. Slater has decided to give one more
entertainment before leaving for San Fran
CISCO and may be seen again at Pythian
Castle this evening.

Hogan's watch

The examination of Chance Smith, &C.
cused of stealing watch from John Hogan,
was concluded in the Police Court yester-
day. After Hogan had testified and Smith
had given his version of the affair, City At
torney Hart stated that he did not see the
sense of goiug further in the case, as the
testimony did not sustain the charge
against Smith. Judge Buckley thought so,
too. and discharged Smith, who imme-
diately left arm in arm with Hogan.

and went up and for 81 so apiece saw ten

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL DO.
Supervisor Ross wanted the Supervisors
to remember that 100000 had been set
aside by the Government for dredging the
river, Just as soon as they were convinced
that hydraulic mining was stopped.
Mr.. Huichins said he learned that q
miner said when informed that the Eve
counties were going to join hands against
hydraulicking, that the jig was up and they
might Just as well stop The mines.
Supervisor Herman of Colusa had moth
ing to say more than that Colusa would
contribute as literally as she saw fit.
Colonel Moulton of Colusa addressed the
conference in vigorous speech. He re-
lated his losses and scored several persons
for their inactivity and apparent opposi-
ton. He and others had been reduced al
most to beggars by hydraulic mining.
After more argument the desire was ex-
fkat al nd al mt Inl
make some answer as to whether or not
they were in favor of joining the Assecia-
ton.
The Supervisors of the two counties, af-
ter confering together for half an hour, an
nounced their decision.
Chairman Guthrie, of the Yolo Board,
said that the members had agreed that they
would not object to doing something. They
were not very well acquainted with the
situation at the present time, and besides
had to lay out large sum of money in re-
pairing the Paine break. Consequently
they were not prepared to say to what ex-
tent they would be would be willing to as
sist, but could give definite answer in
about month.
Supervisor O'Hara of Colusa said his col
leagues did not want 81 representative in the
Association, or to go into any combination.
Colusa was willing to pay fair proportion,
but they wanted to be the judges IS to what
the contribution should be. They were
willing that the Anti-Debris Association
should spend the money for the general
good.
1t was estimated that the expense that
would be incurred by the Association each
year would be $4,000.
The meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock, and
the Sacramento, Yuba and Suffer county
delegations hired fourth hand, and were
driven to Davisville in time to catch the $40
train for Sacramento.

LAST WINTERS EXPERIENCE.

Mr.. Ohlever remarked that Yolo and
Sacramento had quite lesson last winter
when the levee broke on the 1olo side
nearly opposite the city. The break was
now going to cost the county 10000. and
they would have to build very strong
leyee. Yolo county's tule seemed TO invite
the river through it.
Chairman Guthrie of the Yolo Board
said he believed the river would ultimately
be running through the tule.
Mr.. Hutchins insisted that the counties
were obliged to stop hydraulic mining.
They represented TO Congress that 1t had
already ceased, and had to tell faisehood
in order to get the appropriation OF SoO,ooo
from the Government to check the HOW OF
water through the Paine break. II the
Supervisors of Yolo were going to lei me
river run through the tule they would ma
that their drainage would be gone ana q
big leyee would be needed around Wood
land. Should just one frsshet come down,
property in the county would depreclate In
value nearly so per cent.
Supervisor Greer knew that Sacramento
county had paid out considerable money
and gone TO a great deal of trouble without
accomplishing much. Since the county
had turned its money over 10 the Anti
debris Association it had done some good.
The bills against Sacramento county for lis
share OF the expense were so insignificant
as not to amount to a drop in the bucket,
He knew how hard it was to get evidence
enough to convict the miners, and how
great q risk it was on the part of the spies

enough to know that the money they were
expending was doing some good, and the
/ outlay would be less and less every year

BariteIot Publishes Some Grave
Charges Against Him.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-The diaries
and letters Of Major BarttelOt, the
murdered commander Of Sianley's
rear guard, are published here to-
day. They contain serious charges
against the African explorer. The
book was edited by the dead mans
brother, Walter Barttelott; who, In
his preiace, says: alt is not likely
that this book would have been
published hal Justice been even
partly done or any kindness shown
by the leader ri the expedition 10
the officer who was left at Yambuya
with impeiiments, stores aud bag
gage" The charges OF malignity,
ingratitude, misrepresentation and
desertiOn are then brought against
Stanley Ia his book Stanley finds
fault because the rear column did
not follow the advance column as
directed. BarttelOt asserts that his
brothers. diaries and letters, a. well
as the testimony Of the surviving
officers, show that Stanley mare 1t
utterly impossible to carry out the
order, as he took all the strong able
men and those Of good character
with him, leaving 10 the rear guard
the sick, feeble anu incorrigble.
Major BarttelOt's diaries declare
that Stanley threatened to blast the
majors reputation with Lord
WOlseley and rain his career In the
army. In reference to this incident,
BarttelOt gave his brother's words:
Afterwards, turning to me, Stan
ley said it vas IN his power to ruin
me in the service. l said 10 him
that this was an empty threat, rs il
would take great deal more than
he could say to do that. He pen-
ished me afterwards by making me
march to Eeopoldviile with seventy
men who were noted for their lazi-
ness aud ihcapacity for carrying
loads, warning me that II lest
single load l must stand the conse-
quence.n
This exposure Of SANKEY'S char
acter, as shown up by diaries aud
letters, makes spicy reading. The
story includes an account Of the
quarrel between Stanley and JeDh-
son. The publication has caused
a great SENSATION here. Stanley
re.usts TO be interviewed on the sub
lest.
