PROGRESS Is THE WORD.

First Appearance of Police Patrol
Wagon on the Streets.
The agitation of the proposition to have
the city provide police patrol wagon
seems to have borne fruit. Teh other night
patrol wagon went into service, under
charge of officer Simmons. 1t is not very
elegant affair, but will do for starter.
The body of the vehicle is about three feet
square and one foot in depth The running
gear consists of two wheels and the shafts
are quite short, with cross-piece at the
ends.
This patrol wagon is, as will be seen,
built on the same plan as those used by
Chinese vegetable peddlers about town.
Horse power is not necessary, provided the
policeman in charge is of muscular build.
Officer Simmons got along very well with
it, but the legs of the drunk that he wheeled
to the station-house were so long that they
hung over the sides and the feet kept get
ting in between the spokes and stopping
| the procession.
The special advantage of this kind of pa
| troll wagon is that it can be wheeled right
| into the prison and the drunk" tipped out
| upon the floor. In this respect it is better
than cab or an ambulance, for then the
timber load would have 10 be packed" in
| from the street.
Another advantage is that quarter of a
dollar is saved the city on each trip. 1t is
intended to have photograph taken of a
policeman in the act of wheeling in q
drunk in the hand-cart.
Since the above was written it has been
learned that the cart was borrowed from q
business house for the occasion referred to.

Welded IN STYLE.
Mr.. Look Hoy and Miss Fong Sue Sys
tematically Married.

Mr.. Look Hoy and Miss Fong Sue Sys-
tematically Married.
Last evening, at Fifth and streets. Look
Hoy, the intelligent Chinese Interpreter at
the Police Court, was married to Miss Fong
Sue, fair and blushing daughter of the
Flowery Kingdom. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Mr.. Wheeler of the
Westminster Presbyterian Church, in the
presence of large number of ladies and
gentlemen.
A tempting wedding supper was prepared
by the groom and his friends, and the
whole affair passed off pleasantly. Among
the guests at the wedding were several city
and county officials, with all of whom Hoy
is quite favorite. He was for seven years
in the employ of Joseph Hahn, the drug
gist, and is a very bright and trustworthy
young man.
The bride has resided five years in this
city, but has lived in seclusion, coming out
only on great public occasions, like the
State Fair, etc. When she left her apart
ments yesterday morning for the home of
her intended husband she was-according
to the Chinese custom-carried in the arms
OF attendants TO carnage. She IS quite
pretty, and was richly dressed.
When the ceremony was concluded
some of the ladies told Hoy that he must
kiss his bride, who stood blushing few
feet away. Hoy tried to beg off, knowing
her timidity, but was finally prevailed
upon to make the attempt. But it was in
vain. He embraced his bride, and was
about to imprint smack upon her lips,
when she bashfully turned her head away,
and fought him off so successfully that
Hoy had to forego his osculatory practice
until more suspicious moment
The rooms of the groom were neatly.
even prettily, furnished in combination
American and Chinese style. and several
of his white friends made the pair nice
presents. The groom opened dozen bot
ties of ''Veuve Dor" in which beverage
the health of himself and bride was drunk
To might they will give reception to
their Chinese friends.

HE TOOK POISON.
A Young Man Tries to End His Life by a
nose of Strvchuiae,

A Young Man Tries to End His Lie by
Dose of Strychnine.
Early yesterday morning one OF the
night employees at the Western Hotel heard
considerable commotion in one of the
rooms, and upon Fastening there he found
man yelling for "a doctor to come
quickn 1t was evident from appearances
that the mans mouth had taken poison,
and the clerk Immediately called in q
couple of officers and had hum taken to
the Receiving Hospital.
DR.. Baldwin was summoned, and by the
time he arrived the man was frothing at
the mouth and writhing in commissions.
An emetic was administered, and the sight
while the man was trying to throw of the
poison was distressing. His jaws were
closed together tightly, and be was twist
ing and writhing in an awful manner. DE
had, it seems taken strychnine, but IN two
or three hours the doctor pronounced him
out of danger.
1t was case of attempted suicide, and
the man gave the name of ]. We'll, under
which he had registered at the hotel. To
RECORD UNION reporter he said he came
from San Francisco on Monday, and that
he was bookkeeper. He is probably %
wears OF age, and OF German pdreDtdge,
but his father and mother, he says, are
dead He refused to give any reason for
his rash act
Last evening a RECORD UNION reporter
called on We'll, and found him more in
clined to talk than in the morning. He
wanted to get up, and hoped that the doc
tor would be down to see him. Having
registered at the Western Hotel as being
from Fresno. he was asked to explain why
it was he had told the officers he came from
San Francisco, and he replied that Fresno
was his home, and that he had worked
there as bookkeeper in Cutner's furniture
store. Several days ago he left the place
and went to San Francisco to seek employ
ment. After wandering about for some
time he got short job in Friedman's fur
niture house, and from there he came to
this city. arriving on Monday. He looked
around for work, but could find none.
Upon being asked why he took the
poison, he said he didn't know, and
wouldn't care about telling if he did. He
said, however, that he always carried it
with him, and took the dose yesterday in a
glass of water. He called for doctor be-
cause he wanted some chloroform.
We'll says that when he gets up this
morning he will 60 direct to San Francisco.
He doesn't seem to be very much elated
over his narrow escape from death, and re-
marked that he wasn't so very thankful
for having been saved.
