Pitiful Plight of a Woman Who Has
Neither Friends Nor Home.

Pitiful Plight of Woman Who Has
Neither Friends Nor Home.
A woman was yesterday brought to the
police station by officer Agner, who found
her sitting on the railroad track on R street,
between Second and Third, in the rain.
She apparently did not know where she
was, nor how she got there.
When brought to the police station Chief
Lee questioned her, and she gave her name
as Mrs. Barker. She stated that her hus.
band had been dead eleven years, and she
had wandered out here from the East in
search of work, but had found none as yet
She claimed that the reason she didn't get
work was because she came to the wrong
Sacramento. She said a hotel-keeper in
San Francisco had her trunk, because she
owed him a board bill of S21, and that she
had been sent up here on the boat. She
had been here several days. and although
without a cent of money, had managed to
sleep al hotel every night.
Chief Lee thought the best plan would
be to send the woman to the County Jail,
where she could be attended to temporarily
and finally placed in some institution
where care could be taken of her, as she
does not appear to be quite in her right
mind. The woman is about forty-five
wears of age

The prolonged season of disagreeable
weather has somewhat retarded progress
ia many branches of business, and to a
great extent inconvenienced the public
from indulging in many luxuries usually
customary during this period of the year.

Barton, the leading confectioner, at $40 ]

manner reaping benefit from patrons who
appreciated the merits of his goods. He
has now a surprise in store for all, in the
form of an opening this morning of his
elegant Ice Cream Parlors and Ice Cream

cordially invited. Mr.. Barton is one of the
most popular caterers in California, aud no
more credit can be accorded than the state
ment that he has deserved the success at

yesterday morning, as couple of his
friends were passing his cigar store on K
street, between Seventh and Eighth, they
discovered one of the front doors standing
wide open. Supposing that the place had
been or was then being burglarized, they
entered and made thorough search of the
store, but found everything apparently in
proper shape. A large dog lay upon the
counter in the store, but did not offer to
molest the visitors.
1t was learned yesterday that when the
store was closed for the night the door was
accidentally left unlatched, and blew open.

EEOmal History.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90 Special =
The tumultuous scene in the house to-
da7 was the legitimate outcome OF the
tyrannica policy which Speaker Reed
and his friends are pursuing, and which
has as its object the entire suppress
sion of the rights of the minority.
The Republicans are determined, II
they can, 10 seat the contestants IL
the election cases before any rules have
been adopted Their purpose Is to
Law the ground for 3 wholesale unseat-
ing of southern representatives in the
present and future congresses winch
they may control.
Under present circumstances the
Democrats would have about as much
chance to defeat any hostile measure
as they had in legislatures during the
Radical regime.
The speaker is omnipotent, lawless
and autocratic He had, many thought,
Democrats as well as Republicans, 400
much power Under the rules of the last
congress, but now, without any rules
his will is supreme. He can pass any
measure or motion, or kill any PROPOSE
ton he chooses. 1t was well SAID to-
day he is 'czar.'
The course of the republicans is
regarded as revolutionary and without
precedent.

were asleep in their residence at
Washington, a FIRE spread rapidly
through the house. Mrs Tracy finding
himself hemmed in by the fierce flames
let herself fall from a window, 40 f.
She died in a little while. Mrs. Will
derming, the seorstary's eldest daugb-
ter, and her daughter, jumped from a
great height and both were badly in
iured. Miss Mary Tracy and a servant
were burned to death. Secretary
Tracy was taken from the building in
a state of asphixa but was at last re-
Vrved, and is recovering, to mourn the
loss of his family.
1t was a fearful misfortune, and the
sympathy of the people is aroused.
The cabinet of the present administra-
tion has been unlucky. President
Blaine has recently lost a sister,
brother, daughter and son.

San Antonio Times.
The Norwich Bulletin says recently
the Pennsylvania railroad wanted
a big IRON hrid c, 258 feet long and
weighing $4,000 tons, moved from its
place over Mill Creek, near Lancas-
Ter, to new site forty-fve feet away
Master Carpenter Beard took the job
He had 100 men to help him He
made his preparations leisureIy, and,
when the last train had passed over
the bridge, his hundred men and his
trestles, rollers, jacks aud cranes he
set to work. In just ifLy-eight
minutes from the time the work began
the bridge was in it's new place and a
freight train of such size as to require
two locomotives was passing over it..
Now the ancients couldn't have done
that in the same time if they had had
10000 men, What we know about
iron and It's uses and how to work it
is worth more to the world than all
the lost arts of all past ages combined.
