oual Shooting a Mount HamiIton-Geese
at Sacramento.

QUAIL Shooting at Mount HamiIton-Geese
at Sacramento.
The quail-shooting season opened last
Wednesday. and many local sportsmen
took advantage of the occasion and hied
themselves TO the country, where birds
have been reported plentiful.
Although it will be unlawful to shoot
quail in Marin County until the 1st of Oc-
tober it is said that on Tuesday iast-the
day before the opening of the seasoD-sev-
eral parties were seen shooting npon Mil
leTs ranch, which is within easy walk of
the Catholic Orphan Asylum of San Ra-
fael.
There have been no arrests made as vet
but it is understood that the Sheriff OF the
county has been instructed to have denim
ties patrol the ranges visited by hunters and
to arrest all men or boys found with uuaiIs
In their possession. The estates which
viii be rather venturesome to visit this
month are Miller's, facheco's and De
Longs.
In many of the vineyards of Sonoma
County quails are very plentiful this year,
and the Yiticulturists are very anxious to
see the birds shot off, therefore hunters who
enjoy good quail shooting can enjoy The

Trial Shoot of the Third Regiment.
Schuetzen Club.
The members of the Third Regiment will
hold their final shoot for State decorations at
Shell Mound Park to-day. According to the
general orders issued from the Adjutant-
Generals office, only such as made so per
cent OF over at the preliminary shoot will be
allowed to participate in to-day's shoot
This is thought to be singular departure
from the custom which has heretofore pre-
vailed. 1t was always supposed that the
principal object of the State contests was for
the purpose of promoting and encouraging
craftsmanship among the members of the
National Guard. 1t is believed by many
that the act barring the poorer shots will
have a bad effect, as they are the very men
who need the most encouragement, and no
obstacle should be placed in their way by
the State authorities. Ii is hoped that this
will be the last contest under like conditions.
The California Club Shooting Committee
has adopted new rule for deciding the ties
shot on king tickets. In case of a tie in the
same number of points, the marksman haV
ing the largest number of hits will be de-
clarei the winner. In the event OF marks
men having the same number OF hits, then
the last best shot on The ticket will decide

BROKE JAIL WITH A THREAD.
The Prisoners Said to Have Possessed TIL,
Secret of SofteninR Irnn Rnrs

The Prisoners Said to Have Possessed the
Secret of softening Iron Bars.
a bold Jail delivery occurred at Macon,
Ca, on the 9th of last month. In cell in
the Bib CountysJ Jail were confined J. w.
Hart and J. B. Royles, charged with burg
larizing the safe of Baum Brothers at
Toomb5boro, together with Ii. ii. Haegerty,
Miller 0'Neill, John Saunders, and Robert
and John Simmons. This morning when
Jailor Birdsong awoke he was informed by
the guard who watches Tom Voolfolk that
the bars of the cell had been cut and some
of the prisoners had escaped.
Hart and Rogers are professional cracks
men and there is little doubt that they
are well up in their line. John Saunders
and John and Robert Simmons refused
to escape, and from them it was
learned this morning how the work was
done. They say for several days Hart and
Rogers had been engaged in process of
softening the iron bars, and for the past
few nights have been working c0ntinu-
ouSly saving the bars. They have used for
this purpose silk thread, ami the reby man
aged TO do the work noiselessly. Saunders
says the men were aided by an outside party
and made Jailer Birdsong a proposition to
reveal his name. Jailer Birdsong has his
own suspicious already, however, and hopes
to be able to settle the question in few
hours.
Tue men sawed through two outside bars
one inch in diameter. When this was done
they got together, and by main force moved
the network of iron bars from the outside of
the window so that man could pass through.
They then wrested the two bars on which
they had been saving, breaking them off
about one foot above where they sawed.
This left an aperture about one foot square,
through which they passed. The cell was
on the second story, and to get to the ground
they had to lower themselves with the blan-
kets, which they tied together and made fast
to the bars. The work was all cleverly done,
and it is clear that it was devised by Hart
and Rogers.
About thirty feet from the cell the guard
placed over Voolfolk is stationed, and the
work must have been done entirely without
noise, or he would have heard it.-Atlanta
Constitution.

Now that the much ialked-of regatta
IF the Native Sons is umbered among the
pleasant features of the past it is supposed
that the customary rule of "hang up your
cars" will be observed by local oarsmen,
and that the old-time forsaken aspect of the
boating-houses will prevail until some fu-
ture inducements may bring about rivalry
among the members of the clubs.
At this season of the year the bay is gen.
orally in good order for boating, and. as the
opportunities for practice spins are quite ia
VOrable, it is strange that the patrons of the
sport should allow a pastime which should
lead all other athletic exercises to fall into
apparent desuetude.
If San Francisco is ever to be looked upon
as having oarsmen who are qualified to up-
held the reputation OF the State against for
egn seullers, the heads of the aquatic de-
partments must set better example for tn e
young men, who seem to have already
drifted into the old groove of Incidence and
dislike for tractice which predominates
among the older.
1t is about time that a move should be
taken in the right direction, and TO inspire
life and enthusiasm among the boys, each
of the boating clubs should hang up" small
trophies to be contested for once a month.
This pan has been adopted by the athletic
clubs, and as a result the outdoor sports
have become one of the prominent aud sue
cessful features.
In the aquatic line it rests solely with the
officers OF The clubs to build up a sport
which has been slowly dying out for years
past. Some inducements should be Offered
TO encourage the young oarsmen to practice
daily, and a better way of expendirg a few
dollars Of any clubs funds could not be
devised than by purchasing trophies for
competition among the boys. AS matters
stand at present the city will remain at the
tail end so far as aquatic performances are
concerned.
1t will interest the patrons of the sport in
this city TO know that of fOrty-three interna-
tional sculling matches In which Australians
have participated they have wen twenty
five and lost eighteen races. This is not IN

BE Sacrifices His Own Life to Save

On the evening of the 9th inst, says a
Houston fTexasl special to the st. Louis Re-
public, gallant act caused the death of a
brave man. Two horses attached to buggy
occupied by two ladies aud child had taken
fright and were running away. They were
going with the swiftness of the wind and Mr..
Il. Haog, a brave old German, saw them max
ing toward him and heard the cries of the
ladies. He determined to stop them, and
waving chair above his head, stood in the
street till the tongue of the vehicle struck
and went seven inches into his chest pierre
ing the left lung and passing just above the
heart.
The end Of the tongue was broken off and
the horses turned to one SIDE striking an
awning post and breaking away. One lady
was thrown out, her head was badly cut, but
she was not fatally hurt Mr.. Haog, who
was IS years old, never recovered from the
shock. He died tonight at o'clock.

How an Ohio Man Was Punished fol
ElOping With a Married Woman.

About n week ago Mrs. John Sigler of Woos-
ter, Ohio, left that place and, by a strange CO.
incidence, George GraZier of the same place
also was missing. 1t had long been suspected
that this pair were too intimate and tar and
feathers had been threatened and Saturday
night were actually applied. 1t was found that
Mrs. Sigler and GraZier were living together at
the home of Richard Austin, a brothe--in-law
of Grazier's, near Blackleyville. Austin is a
weak and sickly fellow and objected TO Grazier's
presence and that of the woman in his home,
but GraZier swore that he would kill Austin If
the latter did not keep his mouth shut. Crazier
finally undertook to run things about the place
aud to abuse Austin, who complained to his
%neighbors. GrGzicr bore a bad reputation in
the neighborhood. and when ordered to leave
Austin's house and the community he refused
to do so, declaring that he proposed to live
with Mrs. Sigler in Austin's house as long as he
liked, and he dcficd them to do their worst.
At midnight a party of about forty went to
the house and took Grazier from beside Mrs.
Sigler, hustled him a few yards from the man
sion, and, after stripping off his shirt. admin
istered n heavy coat of tar and feathers. The
scamp begged and cried for mercy, getting
down on his knees and begging for his lie. On
threats of l~ynching he was ordered to leave
the country, which he promised to do. The
men made no effort to conceal their identity.
Grazier started back TO the house and made
Austin and his wife clean the tar and feathers
from his body, after which he and the woman
disappeared.
GraZier made all sorts of threats before
leaving, and it is feared blood will be spilled
as a result of the affair.

HOW THEY LOOK AT 1T.
The Baltimore and Ohio Deal Still the
Chief Topic of ak in Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, June 1.-THE advantages to be
derived from the changes that have been made
and which are contemplated" said a promi-
nent official of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company. ''are that the company will
to a great extent be rid of all danger
from political influence and with
the reception of the proceeds of the new stock
which is to be issued VIII be able to provide
for the large and ever increasing business
which is crOwding its tracks and which demand
greater facilities TOR prompt dispatch"
President Mayors management of the Balti-
more and Ohio is thus spoken of by friends of
the road: 1T is worthy of note that the two
largest financial transactions in the history of
Baltimore. and which would have been largo
even for New York, have been consummated
during Mr.. Mayors administration and within
the first six months of the present year.
The first Of these was the payment OF
SJ.O0O,O 600 to the city on January l. 1880. the
principal and interest of which were guaran.
teed many years before by the city, and the last
the negotiations for the purchase of the 81, 500
shares Of Baltimore and Ohio stock held by the
city.n
