Three Senators on the Block-A Base eball
Business Proposition.
The managers of the Sacramento Base
bali Club have about concluded TO "selr'
Godar and Roberts and hire other men in
their places. Reitz may also be disposed
OF. 1t is not because either of the three
men is not playing good ball, but for the
simple reason that funds are exceedingly
low, and the management-bys selling these
star players-can make enough money to
cover what losses they claim to have sus-
tanned since the beginning of the season.
Reitz, 1t is thought, should certainly be
worth $400 or $500, and Colonel Robinson
may pay that price for him.
Godar is wanted by Manager Finn to
guard the third cushion, and his sale would
no doubt net the Sacramento owners a
couple of hundred dollars more, while
Roberts may go to Stockton for neat fig
ure.
The managers say they would like TO see
Sacramento win the pennant, but they de.
cldedly object to gratifying this desire if it
is gong TO cost them about S., COO cut of
their pockets. The men have not been sold

the game would not revive here egain
Many say that the change is to be made
merely to weaken Sacramento and
strengthen the other teams, so that there
will be an exciting finish to the season.
The managers claim, differently. however,
and insist that it is merely business pro-
position.

AMUsEMENTs.

At the Clunie Opera House Saturday
night, NJ. B. Curtis, the original Sam'l of
Posen, will present mis- new play, "The
Shatchen." His support will be the we'll
known and competent actor Frank Mour-
dant, Charles S. Dickson, practiced artist;
Laura Biggar, favorite actress upon this
coast, and a fnll company. The character
of the Shatchen Ia marriage and commits.
sion AGENT is taken by Curtis in dialect
vein. Mourdant is the spright merchant
OF the play, and has fine opportunity TO
manifest the dramatic strength for which
his acting is noted. Mr.. Dickson is the
author of the comedy, and has the clever
light comedian role of the piece. Eastern
papers speak of theplay as one of sustained
interest, sparkling in dialogue and replete
with amusing situations. Mr.. Mourdan;
will be remembered as the rich broker in
the Henrietta whose acting was so
strong as to detract from the brillisncy of
the star, Mr.. Robson, and bring about
dissolution of the company. The box

PIERSOE'S SLAYEkS.
THEY SEEM TO HAVE DROPPED QUITE
OUT OF SIGHT.
Considerable Property Left by Them on
the Rsnch-Talk With Florin
Chinaman.

No tidings have been heard of the China
men engaged in the fatal affray near
HowelTs Station, on the Cosumnes river,
on Sunday last, and who escaped, but it
has been learned from one of the China.
men employed at DR.. Hughson's place,
near Florin, that two of them were badly
wounded in the fight. One had his arm
nearly broken by blow from some weapon
in the hands of one of the white men.
From the Cinnamon at the Hughson
place it has been learned that when the
party arrived there on Sunday night thev
gave as a reason for their desire to get to
the city in a hurry that relative of one of
their number was dangerously ILL but this
does not explain how the Florin Chinaman
learned that two of them were badly
wounded.
1t seems that when some parties went to
the Hughson place on Monday and ar
rested the Chinamau who drove the Cosum-
mes party to this city, they subjected him
to a severe beating-st least, his partner
says so-but let him go before reaching
town. The Chinaman, fearing further yio-
lence, got out of the way, and his where
abouts are still unknown to the officers.
The other one, who ran away from the
Hughs n place on Monday, got up courage
enough to return, but he can tell the off
GERS nothing more than that his partner
took the Costumes gang to this city
There is probability that the one who
drove the wagon can be induced Through
his friend) to come forth and tell the off.
GERS all he knows about the missing Mon
golians, if assured that he will not be pun
ished for the part he played in enabling
them TO escape.
The Cinnamon left behind them at the or
chard, where they were picking for market
and preserving fruit, considerable property.
consisting of horses, wagons farm imple-
ments, dried fruit, etc., beside the unhar-
vested portion of the crop. What disposi-
ton will be made of this it is lust now not
an easy matter to determine They had
business transactions with several firms in
this city. At the w. R. Strong Companv's
fruit house they had an open account, sell
ing fruit to the firm and drawing money as
they needed it.
One Chinese merchant on street claims
that they owe him $780, and il is not un-
likely that efforts will be made by some of
their alleged Chinese creditors to secure
possession of the property left by them.
Sheriff McMullen is inclined to the be-
lief that the escapes have managed to get
down the river in small boats to some of
the Chinese fishing boats or camps on the
islands.

The Sierra Normal College and Business

THAT WRECKED BALCONY.
Why 1t Has Been Left SO Long in that
Condition.

Why 1t Has Been Left SO Long in that
Condition.
There was called meeting of the City
Board of Trustees yesterday, at which the
first matter taken up for action resulted in
the explanation of the Pacific Hotel bal
cony mystery. The public had for two
weeks gazed on the wrecked appendage to
the hotel, and every day wondered why it
was kept propped up there, opposite the
Mayors place of business, as an eyesore TO
ali that passed that way, and menace to
pedestrians. The explanation came about
in this way:
Robert n. Hswley appeared on behalf of
the Central Street Railway (whose horses
had caused the wreck), and said The COM
pany was willing to have the damaged avn
ing repaired, bat that no agreement had
been possible, as Street Commissioner Nc
Laughlin had insisted that il should be re-
moved.
The latter acknowledged that the COM
pliment to his judgment was merited one,
and said he still thought the balcony
should come down altogether.
Building and Sanitary inspector Starr
also gave the shattered bacony whack, BY
stating that in another year its condition
would have warrantedits being condemned
anyhow.
After some further discussion of the sub.
lec' Mr.. Mclaughlin was authorized 10 do
what he deemed best in the matter.

Fire Aero as the River.

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Meiss, a resi-.
dent of Washington, set fire TO some brush
on the levee near his house, short dis
tance above the bridge, with the intention
OF clearing away the rubbish. In short
time, however, the fire got beyond his con-
troll and threatened destruction to neigh
boring houses. That of Mr.. Meiss mar
rowly escaped being burned, and a small
bulkhead on the levee was ruined.
During the progress of the fire most of
the population of Washington rushed to
the scene and several women were badly
frightened. It was supposed the fire had
been subdued in the evening, but it broke
out afresh about 10 o'clock at night. Again
1t was got under control, but men stood on

Harry Plummer Takes Couple of Shots
at a Fleeing Man.
Between l and o'clock yesterday morn.
ing Harry Plummer, proprietor of bakery
on street, east of Eleventh, was aroused
by crashing noise, as if some one was
trying to get into the building from the
front. As Mr.. Plummer went toward the
spot whence the noise came, he saw man
start to run, and supposing it was a burg
lar he shot at him twice before he got out
OF sight in the darkness. Whether he hit
the man or not he does not know.
An examination of the premises after
the shooting showed that only the large
bill. of-fare board that stands in front of the
restaurant had been knocked over and
smashed by. some hoodlum. He may con-
slider himself very fortunate, and the
owner of the place has reason TO be thank
tul for the fact that his Workmanship was
poor on that occasion, es it is a serious
matter to shoot q man without knowing
that he deserves to be shot. 1t is no crime

Business Blocks Gradually Taking on an

Second and Third, the block has been
largely denuded of the old postawnings
Several have been removed within the last
few days, and the buildings look as if thew
belonged to some other and more modern
built city.
1t would seem that these old rattle-trap.
dirt-gathering excrescences have been
chiefly responsible for the hard name that
Sacramento has abroad for shabby business
streets. 1t is true, many of the old build
ings that were not raised when and K
streets were filled in some fifteen feet above
the old level are dwarfed and primitive
looking, but it is equally true that they
show to much better advantage when the
old awnings are removed. 1t is the latter
that give such squatty and shabby ap-
pearance to one-story structures.
