a Citizen Who Thinks the Cgain-Gang
Might be Utilized.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Having read an
article in the RECORD UNION by L. L.
Lewis, giving his idea in regard to building
a roadbed, take the liberty to send you
rough sketch of the manner in which roads
are built in great many Eastern cities,
especially the town where l was born,
which has population of only about three
thousand Said roads were built with a
very small cost to the taxpayers, for the
reason that most Of the work was done by
the chain-gang.
After giving gentle curve to the street
by slopirg from the center to the curbing,
the next plan was laying large pieces of
limestone rock quite close to each other
over the entire street; then filling in with
hard river gravel; then another layer of
smaller limestone, and then more gravel.
The finish was given by covering the
entire street with pulverized limestone,
which, in the course of few months, be-
came as smooth and hard as the rock itself.
In this connection l will state that the
rock for building our streets was all broken
by the chain-gang inside the jsil-yard.
I have lived in this city for several years,
and it seems to me to be more than well
supplied with the class of men who consti-
tuted the chain-gang in my native town.
We have the railroads and plenty OF granite
in the mountains. ID. ID. LOVE.

THE PALMER CASE.
A Motion for the Discharge of the De-
PENDANT Denied.

A Motion for the Discharge of the De-
PENDANT Denied.
The Palmer embezzlement case was re-
sumed before Justice Devine yesterday. j.
A. Angus, who had examined the books of
the Reed ranch for Senator Fair, was
plaoed on the stand and testified concern
ing his examination of the accounts and
the failure to find any entry therein of the
sale of the thirteen horses and mules sold
in October, 1888. Entries of cash items
were found for that month amounting to
upward of 81 500, but their nature was not
explained.
George A. Bigeiow, who wss one of the
bookkeepers under the Palmer regime,
testified that Palmer had never reported to
him any such sale of horses, and that
therefore he had made no entry thereof on
the books.
Some further testimony was put in by
the prosecution, and when it closed its case
Mr.. Johnson formally moved for the dis
charge of Palmer.
The motion was argued by Mr. Sprague,
who held that the prosecution had made
out no Csc against Palmer. They simply
showed which was not denied) that tbir-
teen old horses and mules had been sold
and that Palmer received the money there
for in October, 1888 amounting 10 $3.50.
The books showed that in that month
Palmer had accounted for various cash re-
ceipts amounting to 81, 800. The prosecu-
tion had msde no attempt to show that the
books were not correct or that they did not
hal nee In fact, it vas not claimed that
Palmerowed Senator Fair a dollar-simply
that the books did not specify the horse

Alady formerly of 1921 Mission St, but now
of 400 Hayes St., S. F., writes to the Edwin w.

Seattle, resided with me last winter. She had
long been sufferer from dyspepsia and
waterbrash. Her stomach was so weak that
for months at a time she lived principally
upon milk and the white Of eggs. She tiled
one of the mineral sarsaparillas only to find
that it gave her pains in the head and weak
sinking spells. Having taken joys Vege-

in stomach troubles, induced her to discard
the potash preparation and try your Vege-

uNREAsoN1Ne CRITICISM.
The Stockton "Maii" States the Case
Forcibly.

Forcibly.
From the Stockton NALL
1t is unjust and childish to blame the
railroad for the great snow blockade and
the consequent hardship entailed upon the
beleagured passengers. As well charge
the newspapers with responsibility for the
floods in the valleys. These extraordinary
processes of nature cannot be foreseen. The
San Francisco Chronicle, wise in RETROSPECT
ton, accuses the railroad people of send
ing trains forward into the snow region
when they should have known what
the result would be to the innocent passen-
gers destined to be imprisoned for week
or more. Anybody can see now that it
would have been better to hold the trains
back, but who was gifted with the power
of prophecy to foretell at the time what
was going to happen? Did the Chronicle
warn intending passengers not to buy tick
cts over the snow route? 1t was its duty
as a newspaper 10 do SO if it could see dan
ger ahead. But it saw no danger. 1t
knows about it now, just as we of Stockton
know now that there was danger of
freshet in this city last Saturday night. |
ing? 81 told you so" wisdom is not the
best thing is going, but the Chronicle |
cannot even lay claim to that. If Mr.. De |
Young had intended going East fort
night ago he would have started across the |
Sierra Nevada mountains fully confident |
of reaching his destination without |
any delay other than such as is
usual during the winter season. He
never would have paused and turn |
ing his eyes hesvenward observed |
to his wondering servant: II can see in
the elements the portents of the greatest
snowfall in the mountains and rains in the
valleys that our State has witnessed for
quarter of century. will, therefore, de-
ter my departure and hasten to the Chroni-
Gle Office to tell the people everywhere to
beware" On the contrary he would have
purchased his ticket and got aboard of tie
cars just the same as the other passengers
did who were subsequently held in the
snow banks that piled up with unprece-
denied rapidity. Mr.. De Young did not
know that the Sierras were going to witness
the greatest snowfall that any white man
had ever seen. The Oldest mountaineer
did not know it. Everybody knows all
about it now, though. The fact that Vice.
President Croker started East himself at
the time when we all thought the storm
must surely be about over, and was held a
prisoner in the snow for over week, shows
pretty conclusively that the railroad people
were not sending trains forward with
reckless disregard of consequences, or for
the purpose of infictipg unnecessary hard
ship upon the passengers. If an ocean
steamship should be wrecked and the pas
sengers cast upon an inhospitable island.
we presume the Chronicle would condemn
the owners of the line for allowing the YES
sci to sail when they knew, or should have
known, that great storm would overtake
her. 1t would be sure to do so if it cher
ished any animosity toward the company
