for Two Years.
Yesterday Jack Dunn's counsel ex-
hausted many hours in vain attempt to
keep their man out of the penitentiary.
Dunn was convicted of receiving stolen
goods, and the point raised WAS that he
was committed by one of the courts
knocked out by the Supreme Court.
Motions of all sorts were made looking
towards setting the verdict aside on the
grounds referred to. Unfortunately, the
court held that these motions ought to
have been made at the beginning of the
trial, not after conviction had been
reached. They had gone to trial trust
ing to the merits of their case, and had
been defeated by the demerits, and must
abide the consequences. The prisoner
was sentenced to two years in the State
prison at Folsom.
Harrington was up for the second time
on a writ of habeas corpus. The plea
was that having once been discharged he
could not be held again. The court thought
otherwise. and remanded the prisoner to
the Sheriff.
G. B. Fuller was before Judge Van
Dyke and commission in lunacy. He

There was quite panic among tho

tween Temple and Second streets, We'd
nesday afternoon. There was sudden,
and unaccountable to them, rueh of
water down the hill and many of them
thought that there had been a cloud
burst. although there was no sign OF a
cloud in the sky. The rains of Decem.
Der and January completely filed the
sink hole at First and Olive streets, and
it wae determined to let this immense
body of water off by digging trench
across Hope street. For some days
body OF men had been at work on the
trench, but it was not until Wednesday
that the last barrier was broken and the
water allowed to escape towards Pearl
street. 1t went down with rush, and to
the startled residents below looked like
lively mountain torrent. They did not
know what to make of the water, and a
few minutes later the side of the hill was
covered with people climbing up to in
vestigate. Some OF them imagined that
the course of the river had been changed
and that the waters had been conducted
over the bill. The people on top of the
hill are very much pleased over the fact
that the water is gone.

ONTARIO CITRUS FAIR.
Very Successful Showing FOL
That Section.

A Very Successful Showing Tor
That Section.
The Ontario Citrus Fair, which wac
held in the A. o. U. w. hall, Ontario,
all day Wednesday, was success
in every sense. The attendance
was good, and the display of citrus fruit
all that could be desired. In many re-
spects the Ontario oranges and lemons
on exhibition rivaled the celebrated
fruit of Riverside, being bright, free from
scale and possessing all the essential
features of our best fruit. When it is
considered that only six years ago where
now are located innumerable orange
groves was mere pasture land, the show
ing made at the Ontario fair was indeed
brilliant one, and clearly demonstrates
what can be done in very ehort period
of time in the way of citrus culture in
this superior climate. Up to date the
growers of this favorite section have
shipped upwards of sixty carloads OF
oranges, the prices received being the
same as for the Riverside fruit. This
gratifying showing will no doubt stim-
ulate the industry materially about On
tario, and the acreage to oranges and
lemons will be greatly increased year by
year.
The following premiums were awarded !:
Best collection Of different varieties of
citrus fruits-First, II. H. Morgan; Sec
ond, B. G. Shepherd; third, Mrs. A. F.
Bates.
Best collection of navel oranges-First,
A. Oakley; second, A. Borthwick Third,
G. Lyon.
Best cluster of orangeg-First, Mrs.
Tibbetts; second, H. H. Morgan; third,
B. 9. Shepherd.
Largest orange-First and second, A.
{ Oakley; third, B. G. Shepherd.
Best collection of cured lemons--First,
E. M. Hatch second, T. S. Dowse
third, A. Borthwick.
, The attendance during the day was
largely composed of the orchardists and
farmers from the surrounding country
who greatly appreciated the arrange
ment of the fruits placed on exhibition
and their quality, while during the even
ing the hall was thronged with q large
! number of visitors, including all classes
, During The evening local talent rendered
musical programme, interspersed with
recitaions and readings, that was greatly
appreciated and elected frequent ap
plause.

Public Works.
When the Board of Public Works goes
out to inspect the condition of the city,
streets, they ride in long omnibus
somewhat similar to the one used by the
county to carry it's unwilling workers.
Yesterday afternoon this caravan, in
which there were two members of the
board and representatives of the City
Engineers and Street Superintendent's
Offices, drove to the Grand-avenue
power-house. Here Colonel Robinson
joined the party, driving along behind
the coach in his buggy, accompanied by
Mr.. Seymour.
1t happened that the party drove by
the Eighth-street school during recess,
and the yard was filled with small boys.
One of these was Clifton Robinson
the son of the superintendent of the
cable line. He ran to the fence and
erched himself thereon.
'Say, father" he shouted, "what are
you following up the chain gang for ?"
The announcement that the chain
gang was passing brought all the boys
in the yard to the fence. They climbed
up on the top rail to the number of ahun-
