THE NUISANCE UNABATED.
Rubbish Fires Burning Nightly All Over
the City.

Rubbish Fires Burning Nightly ALI Over
the City.
Notwithstanding the announcements in
the papers that the Trustees on Monday
declared that the burning Of leaves and
rubbish of evenings must stop-in accord
ance with the terms of the ordinance pro-
hibiting the same-fres were burning in
various portions of the city last evening.
Some people are showing not only lack
of consideration for the comfort of inva-
lids, but contempt for the law that can be
cured only by the police doing their duty
and placing them behind the prison bars.
A RECORD UNION reporter encountered
rubbish fires last evening at the following
places: On the northwest corner of Twelfth
and o streets; in the middle of Eleventh
street, Just north of P street; on o street,
between Tenth and Eleventh, south side,
and on the east side of Tenth street, at the
corner of the alley between o and P.
Here, within a space of two blocks, we're
four big piles of leaves and rubbish burn
ing and filling the air with dense volumes
of smoke that did not rise above the house
tops, but spread out over that portion of
the city, filling the houses OF citizens and
not only rendering them uncomfortable but
actually endangering the lives of the sick.
And this, loo, right in the face of the dec
lsration of the City Trustees that any
further violations of the law would subject
the violators to the fullest punishment.
The condition of the atmosphere showed
that similar fires were burning in other
parts of the city at the same time.
Chief Drew says the people do not obey
his orders to stop the nuisance. Then
there is remedy. Let every officer be in
structed to patrol his beat between and 6
o'clock each afternoon and arrest every
person who has no more consideration for
his neighbors nor respect for the law than
to start rubbish fire. II few such per-
sons were made to pay $50 fine for thus
displaying their contempt for the law, the
nuisance would soon be abated.

Census Bureau, concerning the census. In
regard to assaulting the honesty of 10000

THE LUMBER BOOM.
Prospects of Much Activity About Fol-
som this Winter.

Prospects of Much Activity About Fol-
som this Winter.
We are pleased to announce, remarks the
Folsom Telegraph, that Colonel George W.
Cummings and wife will return to Folsom
again this winter. They will come here as
soon as the rain sets in, and the Colonel
will give his attention to the lumber boom
in the American river. He will employ
fifteen or twenty men in the operations
there. Already a great many logs have
been cut and thrown into the river, and lie
there awaiting high water to float them to
the boom camp. There will be lively
times out there handling them and getting
them out for the purpose of cutting, and as
there have been hundreds of logs cast in
the river above, big piles will grow there
rapidly.
The coming of rain and the testing of
the river in this particular is awaited anx-
iously by those interested, and the success
or failure will mean good deal. The sue
cess of the scheme will provide employ
ment for large force out there during the
entire year. This will bring number of
families here, whose trade Will be valuable.
Everything, we are pleased to say, points
to the success of the undertaking.

SClTIEs'S SLAYER.
FRIEDIANrs EXAMINATION IS STILL
IN PROGRESS.
witnesses Who Claim to Have Witnessed
the Difficulty-Scatina Strikes
Friediaui.

The examination of eduardo Friediani,
charged with the murder of Guisepp. Sea-
tina, was resumed in the Police Court yes
terday. Before any witness was placed On
the stand n. Grondana, the Italian who
acted as interpreter on Monday, rose and
asked the Court to excuse him. He be-
lieved his work had not been satisfactory
to the attorneys in the case, and he had no
hesitation himself in saying that he was
not in fit condition TO act intelligently
and carefully, on account of nervousness.
He stated that he had been drinking to
some excess OF late and felt that. as the
case was an exceedingly important one, it
was his duty to inform the Court as to his
condition.
GrondaDas excuse was accepted, and
after considerable persuasion, John Pieruc-
chi was induced to act as Interpreter.
The morning session was taken up in
the examination of a witness named
Diacinto Agostinelli. His testimony was
to the effect that he saw Scatina and Fried
ie nj talking on the corner of Second and L
streets, when the former pushed or struck
Friediani The men then closed, and al
most at the same instant Scatina cried,
Pm stabbed" Friediani walked away,
and the wounded man was carried to a
doctors Office.
The next witness called by the prosecu-
ton was Angelo Bianchini. a hod carrier
by profession. This witness also required
the services of the Interpreter in giving his
testimony. He saw Friediani and Scatina
at Second and l. streets on the evening of
November 4sh. Prior to seeing them at
Second and L he saw them at the Carl
baldi House When he last saw them they
had fight.
Witness said that he and his friend CALI
were on their way from Second street to
the Garibaldi Hotel to get drink, when
they saw the two men quarreling at Second
and L streets. ScatiDa called to witness and
asked him to wait O moment Witness
turned about and told Scatina to come
along, when Friediaui said, Let him
alone-he will come by himself"
Some words then passed between Friedi-
ami and Scatina, when the latter swung his
arm around and slapped or struck the
other, knocking him backwards two or
three steps Witness then saw Friediani
take something from his clothing and
strike Scatina two or three times. He did
not know if it was a knife he used.
Friedisni then walked away leisurly to the
hotel while witness, learning that Scatina
had been stabbed, went for a doctor.
Witness stated that CALI went to the
hotel and demonstrated with Friediani for
what he had done, and the latter remarked
that if he (GallD wanted anything he
could have it.
The taking of testimony proceeded very
slowly, owing to the fact that everything
had to be repeated by the interpI eter. who
could not himself understand the attor-
news any too well.
The entire day was consumed by the
prosecution, and the examination promises
to be long and tedious one.

CoLUsA NOTES.
The Late Teachers Institute - County
Division Sentiment


Division Sentiment
Superintendent Ira G. Hoitt returned
yesterday from Colusa, where he attended
the opening sessions of the Teachers
County Institute. II was the first gather
ing of teachers since the death of Superin-
tendent ]. L. Wilson, last spring, and Mr.
Hoitt says it wildly recalled his loss
The universal regret for him saddened the
meeting. The school WORK has since been
carried on by Mrs. Wilson. and the high
esteem in which she is held by the people
is shown by her election to the office OF
Superintendent for the ensuing term.
"Colusa Institutes" said Mr.. Holtt, "have
always been noticeable for the interest
shown by the teachers, and this one is nc
exception to the rule. Professor Dickin-
son, of Los Angeles, Professor Pierce,
of Chico, President Keith, of Pierce
Christian College, Rev. Mr.. Dorsey
and w. S. Green, of Colusa, w. H. v
Raymond and myself were the speakers
for Monday evening. The citizens of Co
lusa showed their hospitality to the teach
ers by giving them, after the exercises, q
magnificent cranberry collation. County
division is still limited at, and the measure
will undoubtedly be again brought forward
this winter

JUVENILE SCAPEGRACEs.
Boys in Training for the Prison and the
Tramp Army.

Boys in Training for the Prison and the
Tramp Army.
Numerous complaints are heard OF boys
gathering in groups on the streets in certain
parts of the city and gambling for small
coins. The game mostin vogue is craps, y
a sort of dice.
Not only are these Juveniles being edu-
Gated for gamblers, but they are becoming
addicted to the use of the vilest language.
Ladies and children passing along the
streets are forced TO listen to foul words and
blssphemy such as only the most deprdysd
are supposed to be familiar with.
These gambling seances are usually held
of evenings, under the electric lights, but
hours every day are given up to them when
the boys should be at school. If there is
any fond mother who wonders: Where is
my darling boy tonight? ' let her slide
around some of the corners in her neigh.
borhood and she win be apt to find him.

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
A WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS GRANTED
IN THE PALMER CASE.
The Supreme Court Will Determine
Whether or Not Sacramento Courts
Have Jurisdiction.

Pursuant to an order of the Supreme
Court, Deputy Clerk Williams yesterday
issued writ of habeas corpus in the mat
ter of the application of H. ]. Palmer, who
was held to answer by Justice Devine for
alleged embezzlement. Notice of the order
was served on District Attorney Bruner,
and the petitioner admitted to bail, pend
ing the hearing of the writ, in the sum Of
81 500.
The petition of Palmer set forth that he
was unlawfully imprisoned and restrained
of his liberty by Sheriff George G. McMul-
len OF Sacramento; that the imprisonment
was Illegal, and that the iilegality con.
sisted in this, to wit: Several weeks ago an
information was filed in Justice Devines
Court, charging Palmer with embtzzle-
ment. He wss examined, he'd TO answer,
and committed to the Sheriff The COM
mitment was made without reasonable or
probable cause, the alleged offense not hav-
ing been committed in Sacramento county;
and in making the order committing the
petitioner the Justice exceeded his juris-
dictiOn.
The application was made to the Su-
preme Court for the reason that the Supe-
rior Court of Sacramento county has al
ready asserted its jurisdiction and that
upon an application being made to said
Court, it determined that it had iurisdic-
ton, ard refused to discharge the petit
toner.
The writ was made returnable before the
Court in San Francisco on the S,h of De-
cember
soLANo COUNTY CASE
The Supreme Court yesterday granted
writ of hsbeas corpus on the application OF
Mary L. P. Moun,ioy, praying that John
Vance be commanded to have Robin
Vance and Stewart Vance before Hon.
John G. Presley, Judge of the Superior
Court of Solano county, at time and place
therein to be specified.
The claim made was that Vance unlaw-
fully detaius his two children. aged and S
years, respectively, against the consent of
their legally appointed guardian.
Vance, 1t appears, was deemed an unfit
parent, on account of excessive drinking, 20
care for his children, and Mrs. Mounijoy,
the grandmother was appointed guardian.
Vance abducted the children and went to
San Francisco, hence the application for
the writ.
