BoRCHERs' BLACKLIsTs.
viii Stockton Try to Ignore Them an
Play Him?

viii Stockton Try to Ignore Them and
Play Him?
The Stockton baseball people are not
ver-thankful to the Sacramento manage
ment for talking about the various black
lists which hang over the head of George
Borchers, the cratic pitcher of this city.
They are evidently going to make strenu-
GUS effort to keep Borchers straight, and
Manager Shelley, of the Slough City ag-
gregation, even intimates mysteriously
that he will get around" the blacklist all
right.
When Mr.. Shelley was interviewed by
Stockton Nail reporter the other day, and
asked what he proposed to do regarding
the blacklists, he said;
ut won't make particle of difference to
us; we'll get around it all right. l wish
you'd lust say for me that we are thor
oughly capable of attending to our club
| here without any help from Sacramento or
Mr.. Zeigler. Well pitch Borchers no mat
| ter if there is dozen blacklists hanging
J over him."
Suppose he goes back on you" said the
| reporter.
1--WE won't lose anything. It's just this
way: If Borchers behaves himself and
| plays, we've got pitcher that can walk
| all over Mr.. Zeigler or Harper or anyone
else. He's a star and pennant-winner
when he behaves himself. If he gets 10
drinking we will suspend him for the sea
son and have him out of the way-out Of
| the reach of any other team. So, you see,
under any circumstances we have made a
| good move IN signing him."
| Manager Zeigler of the Sacramento team
| and also Mr.. Ginsberg. one of the owners,
were seen yesterday regarding Mr.. Shelley s
| declaration.
| well" said Mr.. Ginsberg, sit is simply
nonsense for Shelley to talk about playing
! Borchers without having the blacklists
raised. He can't do it. The California
| Lesgue is now under the National agree
I ment, and no blacklisted man can play in
one of its teams. If it is attempted. the
club playing the msn will be disfranchised,
that's ALL 1t will cost Stockton something
| like $3.50 to clear Borchers Of his various
debts, including the one he owes US, and
| they must clear these before they can have
him.
Mr.. Zeigler expressed similar views. II
would be pleased he continued, ito see
| Borchers get on his feet again, for | think
be would astonish the baseball world. He
| is a splendid fellow when not in his cups.
But he cannot play in Stockton with those
Kansas City and Canton, Ohio, blacklists
hanging over bis head. If they should
attempt to play him the opposing nine
would simply leave the diamond, and,
under the rules, would be awarded the
game -

D1vE-KEEPERs IN CLOVER.
How They Are Getting Rich off the Pc
Suov-ShovaIers.

How They Are Getting Rich off the Poor
Snow-Sbove1ers.
A returned snow-shoyeler, who had been
in town but one day, brought up at the
Police Station last night with a request for
permission to sleep in one of the tanks.
:'This hotel is full tonight, Tom," re-
marked the clerk. Sorry to disappoint
you, but we haven't bed left. recog-
nize you as one of our most regular
patrons in times past, and would like to
favor you, but it is impossible"
gruntled frame of mind, when the officer
said TO him:
Tom, you've been up shcveling snow
fer some weeks, and must have made
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-02-10

some money. When did you come TO
town."
DAY before yesterday" replied the Wis
itor.
Now, honest injun," said the officer, Il
want you to tell me how it is you fellows
manage TO get rid in day or two of the
money you work SO hard to get. What do
you do with it?'
''Well, III tell you" replied the other.
You see, after bein out er town so long
the first thing feller does is ter fill up the
first night with whisky. Then he knocks
about to 1n TO have little fun, an gin'ral-
ly gets robbed of most of his money in the
dives. If he has any left the next day be
strikes a hokey-pokey game, an'-wel
that's about the last of his coin. That's
been my experience, an l reckon that's
about the way with the rest o. the boys"
And Tom went out to strike" some citi-
zen for the price of a nights lodging.
At a low estimate the railroad company
must have paid out to its army of snow
shovelers on the Central Pacific road alone
in the past few weeks some S48,500. Of
this sum at least four-fifths has already
drifted into the hands of the keepers of the
dives and hokey-pokey games in this city.
Probably one-fifth of the shovelers were
honest, sober men. who saved their earn
ings for their families, but the others were
a shiftless, reckless set who fell an easy
prey to the city sharks.

DEATH of a Former saoramentan.

Mrs. A. ]. Christie of Coloma, Ell Dorado
county, few days since received word
from Colorado of the shocking death of her
son, George Wentworth, young man
about II years of age, who was tor some
time an employee of the W. r. Strong COM
pany of this city. He went to Colorado
some time ago with Mr.. Christie, and has
been employed there on ranch work. On
the evening of January 11th he started TO
pick rifle up off the bed, when the ham,
mer caught in the bed-clothes and the gun
was discharged, the ball passing through
his body and inhicting a wound from
which he soon died.

The Drainage Pump Shut Down.

1t was stated to RECORD UNION 1porter
last evening that the pump that hal been
in operation at the Y street levee, pumping
the drainage water from the lower portion
of the city, was stopped few days ago by
Street Commissioner Mclaughlin and the
engineer discharged.
1t is said that something went wrong
with the machinery, but that it has not
been repaired. While it was in operation
the pump had lowered the water on the
low blocks inside the levee several feet.

Colonel Croclser in New York.

In an interview with a New York re-
porter the other day Colonel Crocker said,
regarding the recent snow blockade and
the unjust criticisms of a few papers on the
action of the railroad company:
81 should think" said he, that the &C.
counts which the newspapers are enter
prising enough to publish about the extent
of this terrible visitation would be suf-
fcient defense of our painstaking effort to
cope with it. The company's loss was very
great, and with every days delay was very
much increased. We did our best, but get
ting the snow off that track-well there
never was anything like it in railroad ex-
perienee before. That is all can say"

Republicans in this city were nearly
paralyzed with astonishment yesterday
when they read in Democratic journal of
San Francisco that President Harrison had
reappointed J. G. Franks, the present
Democratic incumbent, United States
Marshal for the Northern District of Cali
fornia.
NJ. NJ. Drew, of this city, who was
Franks predecessor, has been prominent
candidate for the place, and reporter en-
deavored to find him to learn what he
thought of the statement, but failed to To-
cate the gentleman.
Republicans generally, however, placed
no reliance in the report of Franks reap
pointment.

The River Securing Out.

That much of the debris in the river has
been washed or secured out this season is
demonstrated by the fact that, although
the river is close up to the twenty-three-
foot mark, the water taken from the n.y.
drants is but slightly discolored. A few
years ago it was almost as thick as cruel
when the river was at such stage, or
within several feet of il.

Political Pointers

The Santa Barbara Press names Elwood
Cooper, of olive oil fame, as candidate for
Governor on the Republican ticket.
VIM. II. Dixon is being talked about as
the Republican candidate for Supervisor
for the Fifth District in this county. He
took a very active part in tine last Presi-
Dental campaign and has host of friends
IN the Fifth District and throughout the
county.
The contest for city offices seems to be
progressing very quietly so far. Mayor
Eugene ]. Gregory. 8. U. Steinman, w. F.
Knox and John We'll are said to be candi-
dates for the Republican nomination for
Mayor, but it seems to be conceded that the
present Mayor is far in the lead and will
undoubtedly succeed himself
Elk Captain of Police L. NJ. Stevens and
Edward Short are spoken of as candidates
for Chief of Police on the Republican
ticket.
The contest for the nomination for City
Attorney in the Republican Convention
will probably be between ex-Justice Chas
N. Post and ex-Justice George G. Davis.
1t is understood that NJ. A. Howard
wants to be the Republican candidate for
Fire Commissioner. There are other can
didates, it is said, who are working quietly
for the same place.
Police officer B. Franks has announced
himself as candidate for Chief of Police,
subject TO the decision of the Democratic
Convention.
w. D. Comstock appears to be in the lead
for the Democratic nomination for Mayor.
W. S. Church, the present City Attorney,
will probably find place on the Demo-
cratic ticket
Chief of Police Timothy Lee will also he
a candidate for re- election if the Democratic
Convention should nominate him.
Mayor Gregory was asked the other day:
How about your chances for getting the
nomination for Governor by the Republi-
can State Convention" He replied
While feel highly complimented by the
very fiattering mention of my name in that
connection by the press throughout the
State, l am not personally making any
effort for the nomination. Ny ambition is
to succeed myself as Mayor OF Sacramento"

Convicts who Hope for Pardon.

There are now said to be before the Gov
ernor awaiting his consideration no less than
seventy-eight applications for executive
clemency. Almost every grade of crime is
represented by the applicants. Nineteen
of the petitions are in the behalf of con-
victed murderers, under sentence. Seven
are from felons found guilty of man.
slaughter, and six are from Representatives
of that class of evil doors found guilty of
assaults to murder.
1t is thought that the chances of these
applicants are exceedingly slim, as the
Governor is of the opinion that the execu-
tive authority could not be better employed
than in allowing them to serve out the full
terms of their sentence.

Walnut Grove Under Water.

1t is learned from one of the steamboat
men on the river that Walnut Grove is sew

river. The report is that the water was
washing away the levee, and that the latter
was purposely opened and water let in, so
that it might seek its level and thus prevent
further damage to the back levees during

The epidemic of la grippe, which fell

. UNPLEASANT RIDE,
C. w. Leach and Wife Have a
 Scare in Sonora.

On the last trip down of the Oso Negro stage. Mir. c. w. Leach accom- panied by Mrs. Leach, rode a few hours behind the stage with their private team.
 Just before leaving the custom house MT. Leach was told to be on the lookout for Indians as they had been seen in that vicinity, After leav- ing they drove at brisk gait thinking to catch up with the stage, at the same time keeping an outlook on all sides for signs of Apaches through a pair Oi strong field glasses.
 Before many hours ride they saw what looked like an Indian on the top of high hill long distance off Turning the range of the glasses in this direction, they saw not only ono but four of them. The one on tor was evidently tine lookout and the three others were close by.
 Fearing that they might circle around and intercept them ahead, MT Leach drove as fast as was consistent with the distance 10 be made and probably none too fast for the foul red men soon went out of sight oyei the hill apparently to make circle a' was feared.
 They arrived at Oso Negro a shor distance behind the stage much re- lieyed at meeting friends again.
