A BALKY HORSE.

Persons Sunday.

He Almost Caused the Drowning oil -FOUR
Persons Sunday.
Charles Whittier and wife of Washing
ton, and two little boys, Willie and Gar
ret Halloran, were returning from the
Catholic cemetery on Sunday afternoon,
and had reached the bridge crossing the
drainage canal at Twenty tirst and. Y streets
when the horse attached to the carriage in
which they were riding suddenly baked.
The vehicle was squarely on the bridge
when the horse started to back, and before
the occupants could jump out, the horse,
buggy and all went off into the canal be-
low, distance of probably fifteen feet.
A number of people who were returning
from the cemetery witnessed the accident
and fastened to the relief of the unfortu-
mates. The sight that greeted them was
pitiable one. The buggy was complete
wreck, and under it in the water were the
former occupants. The horse was also in
the canal entangled in the harness.
The party was rescued in short time.
and none were found to be injured except
Mrs. Whittier, who complained of pains
in her back and side She was taken
home in a hack. The horse was after
wards taken out unipjur d. All of the
party would perhaps have drowned had
not assistance arrived so quickly.
The bridge had no railing on it, and
there was nothing to hinder the carriage
from being showed over into the canal.

RoBBER NELSON.
He Must Stay and Serve Out His Ten
Years Term.

he must stay ana serve Out his Zen
Years Term.
The Supreme Court yesterday filed an
OPP inion in the case of the People against
George Nelson, who was convicted of the
crime of robbery. He appealed from the
judgment and order denying him new
trial, assigning numerous alleged errors in
the admission of evidence and in the re-
fusal OF the Court to give certain instruc-
tions.
1t will be remembered that Nelson
stopped Thomas Davis and John Cownie
near the American river bridge year ago
and took from them watch and chain and
a small amount of money. He was tried
and convicted and sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment.
The Supreme Court affirms the judgment
and states that the rulings of the lower
Court were almost invariably correct, and
that the exceptions taken by the defense
were groundless.
In connection with the case it might be
stated that the defendant claims that he is
entirely innocent of the crime, and that he
was simply victim of circumstances. OF
the latter portion of his statement there
can be no doubt. but the circumstances
were decidedly of his own making.

The Trustees Lay the Y-street Repair
Claims Over Once More.
Frank Miller. George w. Stafford and
David Lubin, representing the firms and
citizens who had advanced the money
with which'to repair the Y-street levee last
winter, yesterday asked the Board of
Trustees to refund the money.
Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Lubin recited the
circumstances under which the work was
done aud the money advanced. They said
it was not so much a matter of money as
of honor. When emergencies arise they
must be met promptly, and the citizens
who had the public spirit and courage to
stand behind the Trustees should have
their money repaid to them.
Grove L. Johnson, who was present, said
he was in the Board room when the work
was proposed, and that the Board Gid order
it done, although the estimate of expense
was less than the actual cost.
Mr.. Mclaughlin asked that the matter
lay over a week, as he wished to have
time in which to examine the bills for the
work. 1t was so ordered.

CALIFORNIA STATE BANK.

Elegant Quarters.

Elegant Quarters.
The California State Bank Is now quar-
tered in its new and elegant building on
the northwest corner of Fourth and streets.
The appointments of the new bank are not
excelled by those of any like institution on
the coast-indeed, there are not many
banks in the country that can boast OF as
elegant quarters.
feature of the new bank building is its
safe-deposit vaults, where merchants, pro-
fessional men, ladies and all classes of citi-
zens can have their valuable papers, jew
elry, etc, safely cared for. This is some
thing that Sacramento has long been in
need of, and its advantages will no doubt
be generally availed of. The charges for
such storage are so small tn t no person
can be deferred, Oh the score of expense,
from accepting the banks offer to thus care
for his yaluables

Prohibition Meeting Last Evening.

A Prohibition meeting was held last
evening at the Plaza, where a limited num-
Der of persons listened to an address by
George W. Fitch. The speaker was intro
duced by F. H. Wing, Chairman of the
Prohibition County Central Committee,
and spoke from small stand in the north
eastern portion of the square. Mfr. Fitch
has good address and an attractive style
of delivery.
He spent most of his time arguing that
the liquor license law was unconstitutional
and contrary to natural law, which, as de-
fined by Blackstone. required a man to "be
honest, to hurt nobody. and to render unto
every man his due" The speaker claimed
that the liquor dealer violated every rule OF
natural law

Oak Avenue Declared a Street.

City Attorney Hart submitted an opinion
to the City Trustees yesterday regarding
the matter of the city paving one-fourth
tie expense of improving what is known
as Oak avenue, from Fifth to Sixth street.
He held thai it was an alley and not a
street, and therefore not entitled to any
portion of the money.
Mr.. Mclaughlin moved that Oak avenue
from Fifth TO Eighth, between J and K
streets, be declared q public highway, and
that the city pay one-fourth the expense of
improving the same.
The motion was carried by the votes of
Mclaughlin and Wolf, the Mayor voting
no.

A New Type of Gun.

William T. Chamberlain, of Norwich,
has invented and perfected a gun which
promises to be the most durable, simple
and cffectual gun ever made. 1t is
called the electric hydrogen gun. There
are three methods of firing the arm. By
the first method Mr.. Chamberlain claims
the pr~ojectile is sent from the gun by a
pressure equal to $1,000 atmospheres; by
the second process by four times that
force, and by the third method it is
transformed into an air gun with q press
ure of from 1900 to 1900 pounds. The
gun is simple, without other machinery
than the chamber and barrel. The de-
mand for new and valuable weapons is
so large that some of the great powers
may find in this arm the executor they
have been anticipating, whilo MI. Cham
berlain may find in it the fortune the
shadow of which has kept his brain
active and his hands busy for many a
day.-Norwich Comm Bulletin.
The Dickinson press., 1890-12-06

THERE may be some little trouble
with the Indians at Rosebud and
vicinity but it cannot possibly amount
to much; and as for danger in amy
part of North Dakota there is not a
particle of cause for alarm. The
government has sent troops in ample
numbers to take care of all the hostile
Indians in all portions of the North
west combined. 1t would seem to us
agood plan for the authorities to dis.
arm the Indians, which is now being
discussed in Congress and between
the war and the interior departments,
and then the most timid will feel safe.
The question has been colored and
exaggerated to an extent which will
doubtless retard settlement in some
portions Of the Northwest, and on
which point the Bismarck Tribune
speaks truthfully and reasonably in the
following paragraph:
Let us hope that when the present
excitement has vanished those eastern
papers that have been SO greedy for
that class of news that hurts the
country so much, will be as magnani-
nous in devoting a few columns to Il
truthful description of the country's
advantages, its possibilities, and
statistics of the crop and stock reports.
1t is hoped that the force of that old
scriptural command-"return good
for evil"--will be realized and with
contrite hearts the sensational news.
paper correspondents will at least en-
deavor to make amends.

Scarcity of Fruit In France.

Trench journals lament that unfavor-
able weather has almost altogether de-
prived the country of fruit this year. A
disastrous amount of rain has so afflicted
the central, northern, western and south
western districts that the markets have
been ;lnost bare of fruit except such as
had come from the south. One CORES
pendent, writing from the department
OF the Seine-et-Marne, says: 1--WE have
had neither cherries nor apricots nor
plulns; apples have been greatly injured
by hail; pears have suffered less, but our
grapes will not ripen."
And another, writing from Brittany,
says that there the pears are all spoiled,
apples are lacking in many localities,
and almost all the plums had persisted;
that peaches arc everywhere n~on-exist-
ent; that gooseberries and raspberries
had been relatively scanty, and that, al
though Strawberries had been quite
plentiful, they had only the form of
the fruit with the taste of water" Mean
while the complaints of excessive drought
have been coming in from the south,
where we are told even in the carefully
watered gardens tho trees and shrubs
had faded'and withercd. Near the coast
the moist sea breezes "assure tho abund-
ance of the grape CROP" but further
north the grape growers are reported to
be in despair over tho persistent dxynesa.

Irish Nationalist Hope for a Speedy Set

LONDON, Dec. st is learned that
MIR. Clancy's compromise plan, to con.
slider which the Irish Nationalist confer
ence adjourned till over the day, in
wolves the temporary retirement from
the leadership of the Irish party of Mr..
Parnell. Such retirement is, however,
to be subject to the extraction from Mr..
Gladstone Of certain conditions in con
nection with the promised home rule
scheme in the event of q Liberal victory
in the next general election. The Ma
tionalists' hopes are raised that q unani-
NOUS, harmonious and satisfactory set.
Element will be the outcome of the pres
ent efforts at compromise. In Liberal
circles their hopes are not shared and
the attitude of those at the front of the
opposition to Mr.. Parnell in that party
is still n Of unyielding and ~resolute
determination to drive that gentleman
out of the politics of the empire.
