The Medium Becomes Good Natured and
Amuses the People.
Slater, the mind-reader, had large house
last night. He gave the best exhibition of
the course. The man, by reason of his
mannerisms, is a show in himself. He
kept the audience in merry humor, re-
pented OF his temper of the night before,
paid the press and people compliments and
took the criticisms made as man should.
He gave some very strange tests and some
that were fiat failures. Four were inexpli-
cable, and concerning which the thought
of collision could not for a instant be
entertained. One was telling a well. known
lady the contents of bag of old coins she
has at home, but which she has not thought
OF for long time. He gave the dates of
numismatical value. He told A. d. Cat
lin, the Notary, of contemplated visit to
Europe of a young friend of his. To a
lady escorted by Mr.. Felter, he told of her
intention to make trip, and what was its
purpose. To an elderly lady he stated that
she bad some time ago had body in the
cemetery removed from one lot to another,
and gave the correct reason for the removal
He stated to the same lady some details re-
garding her intention as to portraits of de-
ceased friends, and that her plan had failed,
but erred in giving the reason for the fail
ure. He called witnesses TO prove that
statements regarding his knowledge of
facts in tests given Monday night, were not
true. He bungled badly in giving a test
relating to Mrs. L. X. Hammer, but the
lady declined to correct him. He created
great merriment in revealing some humor-
Ous uatters in which Miss auep and
some friends were participants, and wrung
from a gentleman in the dress circle the
confession that he was engaged in scheme
not generally known. In all cases in
which he failed he adroitly turned aiten-
ton and covered his defeat in very
humorous manner. Last nights was his
final entertainment, but he announced his
intention to return soon and confound his
critics.

PROHIBITED GAMES.
Chief Drew and Captain Lee Say TIL,
Don't Believe Anv are Running

| Chief Drew and Captain Lee Say They
Don't Believe Any are Running.
At the meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners yesterday afternoon Cap
tain Lee was asked to report the condition
of the Police Department. He replied that
the men were all attending to their duties,
that they were active and vigilant, and that
their efforts to suppress crime and bring
the perpetrators to trial had been crafty
ingly successful.
Mayor Comstock asked what had been
done toward the suppression of gambling,
and Captain Lee said that, so far as the
police were aware, all prohibited games
had stopped. He said that himself and
two officers made raid on place where
they supposed faro game was in opera
ton, but had difficulty in gaining admit
lance thereto. When they did get in they
found few men sitting about, but no signs
of gaming.
The Mayor said he had heard that the
games opened up in the day time, and that
some of them managed to keep going.
Captain Lee replied that if any games
were running, that they were run so Sc
cretly that the police could not surprise
the proprietors. He believed, however,
that they had all been closed.
Chief Drew remarked that it had been
his and Captain Lees endeavor to enforce
the law, but it would take more men than
they have to watch the gambling night
and day. There are only six men on duty
at one time, and if they were all set to
watching the gamblers in one corner of the
city the rest of the place would have to be
neglected. He had kept one man for
twenty.four hours on one corner watching
place where it was said game was run.

effect. He (the Chief believed that the
prohibited games were virtually closed

THE CLICK CLAIM.

George Nichols Knocks 1t Out in One
Long, Hard Round.
A special meeting of the Police Commits
sion was held yesterday afternoon to consider
the matter of the request of special officer
Click to be allowed the sum of $3.50 as COM
pensauon for the injury sustained by him
in making an arrest some time ago, when
he was stabbed by the person arrested. ].
w. Hughes appeared in the officers behalf.
He said that Mr.. Click did not pretend that
he had any legal claim on the Board, but
that his petition was based upon equity.
The Board was simply asked to recommend
to the Trustees that the officer should, in
its opinion, be allowed pay for the expense
and suffering to which he had been SUBJ
jected while in the discharge of his duty.
George W. Nichols, representing the
family of the man whom Click had ar
rested (and who afterward committed sui
eide through remorse for his own conduct.
vigorously opposed any such action by the
Board. He cited the provisions OF the
charter defining its powers and duties, and
warned the Commissioners that they had
no jurisdiction in the matter.
You cannot" said he, "set as a Board
in case Of this kind. The law prescribes
precisely Just exactly the duties of the Po-
lice Commission, and II cannot set as
board of arbitration between a special
officer and a private citizen. There is no
law known to the statute books that give
you the power TO indemnify an officer who
gets injured in doing his duty. The law
of jurisdiction is agin you, and ! am sur
prised that the learned counsel on the
other side should come before so intelli-
gent body as your honorable Commission
and ask an investigation into the character
of one whose body is in the grave and
whose soul has taken its flight beyond the
confines of this earth-beyond the purple
clouds and azure skies-aDd who cannot,
consequently, be present 10 defend himself.
| am surprised that so learned a gentleman
as Mr.. Hughes does not know that all the
history of Jurisprudence does not furnish a
precedent for so extraordinary demand
as this. Why, gentlemen, ] understand
that Mr.. Click belongs to an order that has
paid him for
Mayor Coms;ock here rather abruptly
broke the thread of the young orator s
argument by remarking that the Commits
sion did not care TO hear anything on that
point and Judge Buckley, who had been
waiting for a chance 10 speak, said that
Mr.. Nichols was correct-that the Board
had no authority to act in the matter. He
therefore moved that the petition be dis
missed for. want of jurisdiction, and the
vote thereon was unanimously In the
affirmative.
Mr.. Nichols was warmly congratulated
on the eloquence and legal ability he had
displayed. 1t was plainly apparent thai
he had deeply impressed the Board during
its delivery.

Street-Car Blockade.

Quite number of people were puzzled
for time yesterday afternoon to know
what was the matter with the O-street
cars. and why they were not running. The
delay was caused at Tenth and L streets by
car No. y running off the track and break
ing one of the wheel-boxes. Before the
necessary repairs had been made and the
car placed on the rails the other five had
caught up, and when the start was made
the half-dozen bobtails followed one an
other in procession order.

can be used during the summer months.
This same thing has been Gone annually

are in about the same condition they were
when first laid out. If the streets were
improved and graveled as they should be,
this yearly output would be stopped.

and cloudless skies.

The straub Case Dismissed.

Justice Devine yesterday dismissed the
complaint of t. J. Cox, charging w. H.
Straub with grand larceny. The Court
said that, while the defendant had techni-
cally done wrong it was not matter that
warranted criminal prosecution.
The transaction which gave rise to the
difficulty between Cox and Straub was, ap-
parently, one that could and should be set
tied by civil process. Mr.. Straub has many
friends here, who do not think he would
lend himself to any act of fraud. He
claims to have been authorized by Cox to
sell wagon for him, and did so, but that
Cox had him arrested instead of asking for
a settlement, as he (Sraub), had counter
claim against him.

The Placer Fruit Crop,

We Williams, of Loomis, Placer county,
was in the city yesterday, and, in response
to inquiries by RECORD UNION reporter,
stated that the orchards in that vicinity
would produce large crops of fruit this sea-
son. The only crop, he said, that would be
unusually light, was the early varieties of
peach, the trees having been attacked by
the curled leaf. The apricot crop will not,
perhaps, be very heavy, but all others will
be. Mr.. Williams thought that LOOMS,
Newcastle and other early fruit localities in
the Placer foothills would have cherries in
market within two weeks.

seemed to take deep interest in the pro-

II. B. Wakefield delivered the address,
which, with the patriotic songs and read
ings, was well received.
