| fore, discourage any friend of the city who is
building his hopes so high as to embrace good
streets and good leyees. Give Sacramento these
and you put her on the road TO prosperity; and
II you give them to her in good shape she will
be fully equipped to steam, under hign pressure,
to the position mapped out tor her.
Mr.. Lindley was loudly applauded when
he concluded his remarks.
Discussion then became general on the
whole subject, and while all appeared to
realize that something had to be done,
there was no agreement as to the nature of
the proposed Improvement. Many thought
that the roadway should be narrowed with
lawns on either side, after the fashion of
the residence streets of Washington, while
others favored letting the street remain at
its present width, and gravel it.
V. S. McClatchy finally called for a vote
on the sentiment of the meeting, as to
whether the property. holders were in favor
of an Improvement of some kind. The
result was unanimous vote in the affirma-
tive.
Discussion on the style of improvement
was then gone into, and continued until a
late hour. As no conclusion had then
been reached, and it was desired to have
more discussion on the subject, the meet
ing adjourned until next Saturday evening.

MAJOR JOHNSON.
He was Formerly Captain" but There
Has Been an Election.

He was Formerly Captain" but There
Has Been an Election.
The field and line officers OF the First
Artillery Regiment met at headquarters
last evening to elect Major. Some seven
enteen officers were present, and the meet
ing was presided over by Major Fred. W.
Birdsall of Auburn.
The candidates were Lieutenant NJ. II.
Sheehan of Company and Captain P. B.
johnson, Adjutant of the regiment.
Captain Johnson was elected on the first
ballot, having received nine votes to Shee-
hans seven. The latter did not vote.
Some little feeling exists on account of
the active canvass made by Colonel Guthrie
in behalf of his candidate, which does not
augur well for the regiment, as it tends to
create factions in the Board of Officers. 1t
is very unusual thing for a commanding
officer to take sides iu contest of this
kind, it being always best for him to keep
aioof FROM contentious, and help to pre-
serve unity and good feeling among his
officers, instead of siding with either party.
Captain Johnson will make an excellent
officer and will fulfill the expectations
of his friends. Some desultory talk was
had in relation to the next encampment
and the prevailing opinion was that il
should be by regiment, and, notwithstaud-
ing the remarks of the Division Inspector
on the subject, all were unanimous IN de.
string the presence of their lady friends in
camp.

THE DIAMOND,
A Northern League Game To- day, if the
Weather Permits.

A Northern League Game To- day, if the
Weather Permits.
This afternoon, the weather permitting,
the Lavenson and Snowflake Baseball
Clubs will open the season of the Northern
California League at Snowflake Park
These two clubs are composed exclusively
of Sacramento amateur players, and are
believed to be very evenly matched. The
game will commence promptly at2 o'clock.
The ball game which was to have taken
place yesterday at Snowflake Park, be-
tween the Sacramentos and Stocktons, had
to be postponed on account of the inclem-
ency of the weather. Although rain did
not fall after o'clock. the diamond was
not in fit condition for game. This con-
test will be played off at some time during
the season.
At San Francisco the game which was to
have taken place between the Oaklands
and the San Franciscos was also postponed.
This afternoon the Sacramentos and
Oaklands will be pitted against each other
at the Haight.street grounds, in San Fran
cisco. If the weather is fine an immense
audience will undoubtedly attend.
Stockton and San Francisco compete at
Banner Island Park, in Stockton, this after
noon. This will be the first game of the
season at the Slough City.

THREE BAD MEN.

They Indulge in an Early Morning Sa-
loon Brawl.
A disgraceful row occurred in deadfall
kept by q man named Calhoun, on Second
street between K and L, early yesterday
morning. A dance was going on, when
three bad men, Tom Talbert, ex-police-
man Green and John Kelly, came in and
attempted to run the place. Calhoun OBJ
jected, and was terribly beaten by the trio.
A woman. who is said to be Calhoun's
wife, interfered and was knocked senseless
by Kelly. Officer Morelli appeared on the
scene and arrested Kelly, the other two
having fed.
1t was learned later that Green, who was
recently appointed as a guard at the Fol-
som penitentiary, had left town for that
place on the first train. Sheriff McMullen
and an officer went up after him.

ly duplicating Jones and Salisbury. We
had been discharged by Lubelsky couple
of DAYS before the robbery" he said, when
Jones came to me and proposed that to get
even with Lubelsky we rob him. He told
how it could be done-by entering his
room in the Western Hotel while he was
out to dinner. We all stopped at the same
hotel, and the key of Salsburys room fitted
the door to Lubelsky's room. agreed,
and we all stood in when the money was
divided. Jones and agreed, too, that in
case we were arrested he should swear that
I did it and l would swear he did it. In
this way they couldn't tell who did it and
we would get off,
In other words" interposed Judge
Henry, you thought you would rattle
the Court hey?"
Yes, that was it" replied McLeary. The
witness then went on to relate that, in
accordance with agreement all three swore
directly opposite to each other in the Police
Court, regardless of their oaths. He said
he never would have given them away"
if they hadn't turned on him.
Attorney Estabrook, who appeared for
Jones and Salisbury, at this point asked for
the dismissal of his clients. He read the
statute, which provides that conviction
cannot be had on the testimony of an ac-
complice. unless thoroughly corroborated
by other direct evidence.
Judge Henry declined to dismiss them,
however, as he wanted to hear more Of the
case.
Jones and Salisbury were then put on the
stand, and, of course, denied that they
knew anything about the affair.
Estabrook renewed his motion for dis
missal
Assistant District Attorney Bruner stated
that he was placed in an unfortunate posi-
ton. While he believed that Jones and
Salisbury were guilty he was unable to pro-
duce evidence to corroborate McLeary.
Under the law, therefore, the two men
could not be held and he did not consider
it his duty to request it, under the circum-
stances.
Judge Henry complimented Mr.. Bruner
on his manliness. Few prosecutors, he
said, would have acted as he did. He then
dismissed the case on the ground set forth.
McLeary had been taken back to the
County Jail before the case was decided.
When the news was impaired to him he
made the Jail echo with his denunciations
and imprecations. The fact that he had
pleaded guilty in the Superior Court, and
his prospects are good for several years in
the penitentiary, while his partners go free
was not palatable to him.

MLEARY'S REWARD.
He Turns States Evidence without Avail
and Must Go to Jail Himself.

He Turns States Evidence without Avail
and Must Go to Jail Himself.
A couple of weeks ago three young men
William McLeary: Harry Jones and n.
Z. Salsbury-were arrested for robbing T.
Lubelsky, street fakir, who employed the
trio to assist him in persuading the public
to purchase marvellous decoction which
was warranted to cure anything from a
broken head to leprosy.
The case became quite notorious, owing
to its frequent appearance in the Justice,
Police and Superior Courts in various
forms. Jones and McLeary were convicted
in the Police Court. Each declared his
entire innocence of the charge, but was
equally positive that the other was all tn
blame. Jones succeeded in getting a new
trial, and, as McLeary could not, he
volunteered to turn States evidence-not,
he confessed, to help himself so much, but
to "cinch" the other two, particularly
Jones, for blowing" on him.

Court yesterday.

the examination was the confession of

Another Abandoned Infant

Early yesterday morning, after the FAM
lily of N. ]. Holland, who reside on Twen-
ty-second and s streets, had arisen, they
were surprised by discovering upon their
front porch an infant, wrapped up warmly
and lying near the door. The little thing
was taken into the house, where it was
found to be alive and well. 1t was a girl
baby, and apparently about week old.
Mr.. Holland took the infant to the police
station, and from there it was taken to the
home of a charitable lady near by. The
ladies who have seen the little founding
declare it 10 be a remarkably pretty babe.
