since 1885 The first gymnastic champion

American Athletic club. Robert Stoll,

known as the flying rings on that occasion,
and each year since then he has demon

other events on the programmes each year
are parallel bars, horizontal bar, club

a gentleman named Heath, who states
that he is Deputy Sheriff, denies through
the columns of contemporary that ne had
informed a RECORD UNION reporter that
there were nine Cinnamon engaged in the
ARRAY at the Cosumnes on Sunday which
resulted in Walter Pierson being killed.
Deputy Sheriff Heath may be correct.
For all that, psrty-who said his name
was Heath-called up the RECORD UNION
by telephone at an early hour yesterday
morning and stated that nine Cinnamon
were engaged in the fight.
A difference of one or two Cinnamon is
not, however, very important matter.
The first account of the unfortunate affair
published in these columns on the morn
ing following its occurrence was doubtless
correct, as it recited facts furnished by one
of the white men engaged in the battle.
The young man was seen a few hours
after Pierson was killed, and he stated that
there were eight Cinnamon engaged in the
ARRAY. He also mentioned q fact that has
appeared only in the RECORD UNIONS re-
port-that one of the white men first bor-
rowed the knife of the Chinaman with
whom Startsman had previously had
trouble land whom the latter went to the
orchard to whip. His statement was that
as soon as the Chinaman had given I'D his
knife one of the white men told Startsman
then was his time TO tackle the Monaghan,

A SUSPECT.
Arrest of One of the Supposed Costumes
River Cinnamon.

Arrest of One of the Supposed Costumes
River Cinnamon.
There is a Chinaman under arrest at
Woodland who, it is thought, may turn out
to be one of those who participated in the
riot on Sunday last, near Howell's station,
in this county, which resulted in one white
man being killed and several badly
wounded.
Yesterday, conductor George Fisher, of
the Knights Landing train, brought word
to the city that on the preceding day a
Chinaman went to the residence of white
family in the outskirts of the town of
Davisvi,le, fourteen miles from here, and
demanded something to eat. On being re-
fused, he drew a murderous- looking knife
and threatened to use it on members of the
family unless his demand was complied
with.
His threat had the desired effect, and
food was spread before him, which he pro-
ceeded to devour in fashion indicating
that he was nearly famlshed from hunger.
While he was thus engaged a boy ran
down town and procured the services of a
Constable, who went to the house and ar
rested the Mopgolian on charge of draw
ing deadly weapon and threatening vio-
lence. The prisoner was taken to Wood
land, examined and held to answer.
The police and Sheriff were notified, and
word was sent for some one who knew the
Cinnamon engaged in the Costumes fight
to go and identify him. This morning Ed.
STATESMAN, one of the men engaged in that
memorable battle, will go to Woodland for

wounds on his face, and was travel worn

The New Incandescent Lamps Illumi-
mated Last Night.
The shop-windows and interiors of stores
along J street presented an unusually
bright and cheerful appearance last night.
The reason was that the first installment of
the new incandescent light system was
turned on. Most of the stores were sup
piled with l6-candle power light, while
here and there would be seen some of
greater magnitude - particularly in the
show-windows.
Something like 730 lights in all were
turned on last night, and with few ex-
ceptions all gave satisfaction. The Open
ing of the Suffer Clubs new rooms was
made especially attractive by the new
lights.
II is not generally known even by the
patrons of the new incandeseent lights that
electricity can be measured as easily as gas.
A meter resembling the gas meter in ap-
pearance will be placed in the house of
every consumer, and By this the company
will be enabled to ascertain Just how long
each individual lamp has been burned
the measurements being taken on the
length of time instead Of the amount con-
sumed.
The company intends to proceed imme-
diately with the work of extending the
system. and by the 18th of August expects
TO have K street supplied.

HEAhLY KILLED.
VICTOR GILBERT HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Track, 1t is Run Down by
Freight Cars.

A serious accident occurred at o'clock
streets, where the Central Street Railway
Coinpany's track crosses those of the
Southern Pacific Company. 1t was an ac-
oident that nearly cost Victor Gilbert his
life.
1t seems that one of the street cars, of
which Gilbert was the driver, had reached
that point just as a train of box-cars was
being slowly backed down I street. He at
car some distance away from the track, as
if to allow the train to pass; but, probably
fearing that his horses would be frightened
by the cars, he suddenly changed his
mind, threw off the brake and whipped up
the team in an effort to cross the track
ahead of the train.
The men on the box-csrs say they saw
Gilbert stop his car just as they were about
to put on the brakes, so as to allow him to
get across. They then pushed forward
slowly, but that it was too late to stop
after Gilbert had started up his team The
street car, which contained three male
passengers, had nearly cleared the track,
when the rear end was struck by the first
box. car.
The passengers, seeing their danger, all
jumped from the car ian open one) in time
to escape injury. The collision threw the
street car from the track, and partly upon
its side. The driver attempted to Jump
from the front platform on the opposite
side, but as the car careened he lost his
balance and fell so that when it righted he
was underneath.
The horses took fright and ran with the
car down the grade toward the slough for
some sixty feet, Gilbert being dragged and
rolled beneath it for that distance, all the
time holding to the Teins.
One of the passengers who had jumped
from the car ran and caught the horses,
thus preventing them from going into the
slough. for which the car was headed.
Several of the railroad men and others
were on tie spot in a moment and Gilbert
was drawn from beneath the car.
He was covered with dust, and blood
flowed in torrents from a frightful cash on
his head, extending from the crown nearly
to the right eye. He was conscious, how
ever, and complained of pains in his left
leg and back. He was carried to the Re-
oeiving Hospital, were he was soon at
tended by DR.. Huntington, the Railroad
Company's surgeon, and City Physician c.
B. Nichols.
1t was found that the skull was not frac-
tured. The patients right knee joint had
been subjected to severe wrenching,
which caused him great pain, but none of
the bones were found to have been frac-
tured Gilbert complained also of pains in
the chest and back-in fact, in nearly all
parts of his boay-and the many contu-
sions showed that he had been dragged
and bruised in frightful manner.
After his wounds were dressed the suf-
ferer was removed to the residence of
friends, where he will receive careful nurs-
ing. He is young man of robust consti-
tuition, and the doctors think he will pull
through all right.
About five feet of the rear end of the
street car was badly wrecked, but the floor
and running gear appeared to be unin-
iGred.

Many citizens have been wondering for q
long tirne why it was that work on the
new postoffice has been hanging fire.
Summer is on the wane, and unless the
work be well under way on the foundation

a Washington dispatch in yesterday S

cred fair explanation of the delay. Ii
stated that Representative McKenna had
been trying to hurry up the architect who
is working on the plans, which would
have been finished long before this had it
not been for the sickness of the party hav-
ing them in charge.
Supervising Architect Windrim, in a
note to Mr.. McKenna, states that the draw
ings and specifications for the foundations
and basement of the building will be fin
ished and ready to invite proposals thereon

There has been filed for record in the

The properties described in these docu-
