too late, however, to save the house and

An employe of the Waterworks is cred

that operation entailed upon the pumping

the mercy of fires, on the ground that the
pumps cannot be allowed to keep the pipes
flushed. If the city had clear mountain
wafer, sncn contingency could not arise;
but it does not enjoy that blessing, hence
the necessity of maintaining system of
pumps that will not only be equal to the
task of supplying the people with drinking
water, but also of flushing the pipes so
often that they cannot become clogged with
mud.

San FRANCISCO, April 4th.-The Senators
had more hard luck to-day. In heseven,h
inning the score was 10 to 6 in their favor
but they were beaten in the eighth by a
combination of errors and hard hitting.
Captain Stspleton lost the game for his
side IN that inning. There were two men
out and the score was 9 to 10 in favor of
the visitors. An easy fig was nit to the
first baseman, but ne dropped it, and a
single did the rest. Zsigler thought only

If Matt. Karcher's protest against the
proceedings of the Board of Police Com.
missioners on Thursday does not result in
anything further, it has at least had the
effect of causing the members of the Board
to legally qualify for the performance of
their duties. Yesterday Commissioners
Comstock, Buckley and Drew took the
necessary oaths before Superior Judge Van
Fleet and filed them, as required by law,
with the County Clerk.
Then the Commissioners held another
meeting, and for the third time elected the
tift cen policemen whose names were pub
llshed in yesterdays RECORD UNION. It
isn't everybody that can boast of having
been three times elected TO position within
twenty-four hours, as can these policemen.
At yesterday meeting the Board, on mo-
ton of Commissioner Buckley, adopted the
following resolutions prior to the final elec-
ton OF the men
Resolved, That the Board proceed to elect
Captain OF Police and officers OF the city of Sac
ramento, to the end that the city shall have a
police force no greater than is contemplated in
the tax levy made by the Board of Trustees of
said city for the payment of the salaries of po-
H.
ther to increase the efficiency OF the force and
obtain members of the force fitted to perform
the duties OF policemen.
Resolred, That to the ends and purposes herein
named, the present police force be removed and
that the Board proceed TO elect by ballot Cap
tain and fifteen Officers.
KARcHER STILL REFUSES TO GO.
Yesterday officers Eldred, Morelli, Row
land, Arlington, Coffey, Crump and Nc
Laughlin gave up their stars 10 the new
Chief of Police, though some of them did
so under protest.
Chief Drew and Mayor Comstock
went TO ex.Captain Karcher and de-
manded his star, but he refused to give Il
up, and stated that he would not do so
until such time as the Courts should order
him.
In conversation with REcoRp-UYIo
reporter Mr.. Karcher stated that be pro-
posed to report for duty regularly during
the rest of the month, and at that time
would present his demand for salary, as
usual, TO the Board of Trustees. If they
refused to pay it, he will commence an ac-
tion to compel them to do so.

Ryan some time since completed his ab.
straet OF title to the property, and it has
oeen forwarded by the local agent to Mr.,
Merrill. the owner, in the East.
Mr.. Ryan found several slight clouds
upon the title. One Sacramentan has a
claim upon what remains of the old fort it.
self bnt has given his consent to an AMIGA
bic adjustment of the matter. A suit, how
ever, to quiet title must be brought, and il
will cost about 500 to remove that cloud
Then, again, it was found by Mr.. RYAN
that there are heirs in San Francisco who
have, or claim to have, some interest in
the property.
Mr.. Merrill has instructed the agent Mr.
coleman, to have these matters all settled
which It will take some little time 10 do.

THAT SUBURB MYSTERY.
CHARLES SEXTON NARROWLY ESCAPES
BEING "ASsAssINATED.v
That is, According to His Story. but the
Would-be Assassin is also
Heard From.

Yesterday morning complaint was
sworn to at the police station by young
lady named Alice Jones, charging Menott
c. Young with intent to commit murder.
City Attorney Church issued warrant on
statements made by the complainant and a
Mrs. Spencer, who resides al Twenry-third
and G streets, and with whom Miss Jones
is stopping.
1t seems that on Tuesday night last a
Miss Hill, who was working at the same
house in which YnuEg lived, on Twentieth
street, between \ and o, attended a party
given by Mrs. Spencer. She was accom-
panied home by young man named Cbas
Sexton and Miss Alice Jones. When the
trio arrived at the Young residence the gate
was found fastened by board on the IN.
side. Mr.. Sexton climbed over and was
removing the board when suddenly there
was loud explosion. Miss Jones wss so
oadly scared that she tainted. and had TO be
carried home, and Miss Hill afterwards
went into the house.
MISS Jones declared that the weapon -
was probably fired from the porch of the
Liodoei al4u size d-sO states that she noticed
MISS Hill Keep several feet TO the rear as
the party neared the gate, which might in
dicate that the latter expected something
to happen.
Last evening Miuott Young, the "bad
boy y at the bottom of the affair, was ar
rested on the terrible charge of assault TO
commit murder on the night Of April
LIST. He gave the necessary bond and was
released. He admitted having been the
cause OF the fright TO Mr.. Sexton and Miss
Jones, but says he meant no harm. In
stead of discharging shotgun at the Young
man, he merely placed railroad torpedo
under board inside the gate (which he
had first nailed up) so that when Sexton
jumped down on the inside he would
alight on the board and explode the tor
pedo. The plan worked ike charm. and
Miss Hill was in the secret. He did not
think the joke would have the effect of
frightening Miss Jones as it did, or he
would not have played it,
mats all there was to the shotgun epi-
sode, the whistling of charge of shot
past Miss Jones head, and attempt 10 COM
NIT terrible crime. The bad boyn
should be soundly spanked for PLAYING bis
practical joke, however.

CLEANLINESS VS.. FILTH.
How Asphalt or Bituminous Pavements
Work in Other Cities.


EDS. RECORD UNION: During the present
agitation and enthusiasm with regard to
street improvement, I hope the following
article may be of service in helping some
to determine what kind of pavement is
best TO use. BY using asphalt we shall
not be experimenting with an untried SUBJ
stance, for the principal streets of Berlin
are nearly all paved with asphalt, and they
are such marvels of cleanliness and smooth
ness that one feels the same respect for them
as for nice drawing-room, and scruples to
litter them even with scraps of paper. The
most frequented ones are literally washed
and scrubbed every night.
After being wet down few men or bows
proceed along the roads, pushing before
them pieces of board set diagonally on a
pole, with strip of rubber on the lower
side. The mud, what little there is, is
thus transferred from the course of one
man to another, and is finally lifted in the
gutter, whence it is removed. The conse-
quent freedom of the city from dust is very
marked. The smoothness of the pavement
affords immense relief in diminishing the
confusing noise and jar of the streets.
Awsking early in the morning at hotel
IN the center of the business section, one
clatter of the horses hoofs, so that it
seems as if cavalry regiments were contin-
uslly passing.
The smooth streets have also made
cycling very popular, and tricycles are ex-
tensively used for business purposes. The
broad sidewalks are laid with tagging in
the center, and between that and the curb.
stone are paved with small mosaic-like
stones that form smooth surface and are
easily removed and replaced. Beneath this
space are laid the gas-pipes, telegraph and
electric light wires, pneumatic tubes, ETC..
so that in laying or repairing these the
street pavement is not disturbed. The
wires of the arc lights, as well as of
the incandescent, are ali carried under the
ground.
In Berlin there are not to be seen the
unsightly poles that so disfgure the streets
ID American cities. Only the telephone
wires are carried overhead, running over
the roofs of the buildings, and these are
now being put underground in cables as
far as possible.
! claim that the dust in the summer is a
menace, in measure, to onr prosperity as
city, as the mud is in the winter; and
gravel, such as we have used, produces
dust. In proof OF this assertion witness NJ
street, from Front to Tenth, after few
days of dry weather and the fact will be
demonstrated beyond doubt. Asphalt or
bituminous rock pavements have been
proven TO be the cleanest, neatest, most
substantial, and in the end the cheapest OF
any pavement used.
