Miss Amelia IL. Edwards.


Reference has been made in these columns
to the accident that this talented and WELL
known lady met with Monday at Columbus,
Ohio, by which she fell and broke her wrist To
those who are acquainted with her history it was
no surprise tolearn that she fulfilled her regular
lecture engagements. regardless of what must
have been a very painful injury. As has been
| announced this distinguished Psychologist,
novelist, poet, artist and musician will deliver
two OF her illustrated lectures in this city next
week, under the auspices of the National geo.
graphic society, at Lincoln hall.
The board Of managers of the National geo.
graphic society in thus assisting in the effort
to obtain for Washington the opportunity to
listen to these admirable lectures have init
ated movement that 1t Is expected will lead
to the most important and happiest results.
Many of the societys meetings hitherto have
been open to invited guests and to the public
generally, for instance, the meeting last FRI
day evening, when Lieut.. Commander Stock
ton described the Arctic cruise of the Thetls
before an audience that completely filed Co
lumbia lecture hall. The necessary expenses
attending such public meetings, however, are
! considerable. especially in such cases as this,
when the lecturer comes from distance for
this express purpose. In view of all the cir
cumstances it is. therefore, thought proper to
make regular charges for admission, thus en-
abling the society to secure the services of GER
tain specialists whom the Washington public
might not otherwise be able to hear and whose
eminence in their specially the society guaran-
tees
Miss Edwards has devoted great portion of
her life to the geography, archaeology and his
tory OF Egypt. Although novelist of reputa-
| ton, the author of such standard novels az
"Barbara's History" and Lord Brackenbury {"
poet OF no ordinary ability, musician of
merited distinction and journalist, critic and
lecturer, it is rs an Psychologist that she lays
special claim to distinction. For years her
great motive in life has been the salvation of
the remaining monument of Egypt. whose de-
struction has been going on Ill modern times
more rapidly than ever before. 1t was due
chiefly to her exertions on her return from
Egypt III 1875 that the Egyptian exploration
society was founded. OF which she has ALWAYS
been one of the honorary secretaries For her
original researches in this department of
science she has received the degrees of p. II D..
LID. and Lid, honors rarely bestowed
| upon one of her sex. Besides her connection
with the exploration fund she is O mamber of
the Biblical archaeological society, of the So
clety for the promotion of Hellenic studies and
vice president of the National (Britsh) society
for woman suffrage. One of her best known
books of travel is entitled "A Thousand Miles
up the Nile" although others are almost
equally we'll known and popular.
Miss Edwards manner is described as nat
urai. easy and charming to u degree and her
lectures here next week must attract genera.
interest and attention.

SAD ACCIDENT.
WHILE INTOXICATED, GUsrAvE CON
zALEs MEETS HIS DEATH.
He Staggered In Front of a Moving Train
and is Crushed-He Dies From
His Injuries.

Gustave Gonzales, an old nian, who has
been employed for many years as steve
dore on the river-front met with fatal &C
cident on r street. between Fourth and
Fifth,
The train bound for the baseball park
had just run upon the side-track near the
place in order to allow the regular incom-
ing Stockton train to pass.
Gonzales, who, it appears, was consider
ably under the influence of liquor, came
from the direction of the river and walked
across the tracks and toward the baseball
train. 1t seemed that he either intended
to board it or walk around the train. Sud-
denly he staggered out upon the main
track just as the Stockton train came DASH
ing by. He was knocked down and the
wheels passed over his right leg, almost
severing it from his body.
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible, and the train-men went back to
where the unfortunate man lay. He was
unconscious, and was bleeding profusely
from various wounds about his head and
arms. while the mangled leg presented q
horrible appearance. Word was sent to
the Police Station for assistance, but as no
officers were available Immediately, the
sufferer was placed upon the train and
taken to the depot. From there he was re-
moved to the Receiving Hospital, where
medical aid was given.
The mangled leg was amputated above
the knee, his other wounds were dressed,
and the unfortunate man was made as
comfortable as possible. 1t was evident to
the doctors. however, that Gonzales was
sinking rapidly and could not survive the
terrible shock.
The wife of the dying man was notified,
and she hurried to the Police Station. The
scene which occurred there upon her ar
rival was an affecting one The poor
woman sobbed and screamed Historically,
and finally had to be taken away from the
hospital by police officers.
The injured man became unconscious
again shortly after his wife left and did not
regain his senses again. Gradually his
breathing became fainter, and at $50
o'clock he died.
Accounts differ considerably as to the ex-
act manner in which Gonzales got in front
of the train. One man, who says he wit
messed the accident, stated last evening that
Gonzales sat down on the track Just before
the train came along. and could not get out
OF the way in time. Another man said the
deceased was walking along the track eat
ing fruit and did not hear the train behind
him until it was too late. at all events,
the sad affair was purely accidental and
unavoidable, SO far as the train men were
concerned. However, Gonzales managed
to get in front of the train; he did it so
quickly and Unexpectedly that it was i,n-
possible to stop the train.
The deceased was native of Chile, rs
years of age, and lived with his family in
the alley between Front and Second and
and q streets

A Hint to the City Trustees.

Last winter, during the high water, the
city drainage was pumped over the Y. street
grade, or levee, into the pool opposite the
foot of Eighth street, out of which the
drainage canal leads and at all times the
city drainage flows into the same re-
ceptacle. To this fact is attributed the
other fact that Dish in that pool are dead or
dying, and that their carcases are piling up
along the pool as the waters drain of. and
in consequence there is fearful stencil in
that quarter, and whatever there is of
poisonous nature in it is waited into the
city by southeast breezes. Employees at the
City Cemetery, which overlooks the pool,
complain of the nuisance bitterly, and saw
that the city should at once send men to
gather the fish and burn or bury them,
Notwithstanding the fact that the nuisance
is outside of the city limits.
No decomposition of any nature is as
poisonous as that of fishes. It would be
the grossest stupidity, if not criminality, to
permit such nuisance to longer exist

SLOWLY By DEGREES.
THE sACRAMENTos ARE CREEPING
OUT OF THE MIRE.
They Win Two Games From stockton in
One Day-The Situation is
Becoming Interesting.

The attendance at yesterdays ball game
was evidence that interest in the national
game has not abated in this city. Almost
every seat in the grand stand was occupied
and, as usual, a large number of men and
boys took up positions behind the low
fence in front of the larger stand. The
crowd was noisy one, and shouts were
ready for every good or really bad play
made. There were few Stockton people
in attendance, and they got in effective
work when the cheering on the other side
of the house subsidized.
Two games in one day are, evidently, too
much for the Stockton ball.tossers, and af-
ter losing the morning contest by score of
3 to 3 in ten-inning battle. they were
none too cheerful nor anxious to play an
other on the ssme day. Both clubs arrived
at the grounds from Stockton about 2:45
o'clock, and the Sacramentos were greeted
with applause as they marched from the
dressing-room upon the diamond, headed
by their newly-s gned mascot.
After the home club had been to bat for
the first inning it was quite evident, al
though they made but one run, that there
was to be some heavy batting towards the
the end of the came, judging from the easy
manner in which they found Perrott's
curves. The Sacramentos made runs in
every inning except the third, and in the
last three they piled up fifteen tallies.
They batted az though "tossers' were be-
ing thrown to them, and the whole nine
had an excellent opportunity for swelling
their batting records. Goodenough, Bow
man, Zeigler and Roberts found the sphere
safely three times each. Cedar ard Sta.
pleton raped out two hits each, and the
others, with the exception of Harper. also
made hits. The total number was nine
teen.
Harper pitched an excellent game, hav-
ing good control, and giving but two men
their base on balls. Ten of Mr.. Shelly's
men struck out
The Stocktons played miserable game
in the field and Holiday, especially dis
tinguished himself by letting hard-hit
grounders to center field go by him. Swan,
in right field, was not up to his usual
standard, and Cahill erred once out of his
two chances. They might have played
better ball, however, had their pitcher
made even show of effectiveness.
Following is the score, which will no
doubt be perused with interest:

BABY CARRIAGE TINE.

Carriages for 81 SO that jolt and jar as little
and are fully as comfortable as any that cost
three times that amount. They have well-ten-
pered springs, shaped like the letter 49, with
woven willow bodies, and are not upholstered
Purchasers can put in their own fittings, and
have those parts as soft and luxurious as they
please.
Ten dollars pays for fine Rattan Carriage,
steel or wooden wheels, silk plush ramie up
holstery, and with either parasol or canopy top.
Vanished Cane Carriages, in long reclining
shapes, with fine satin and plush upholstery
and satin parasols, S15.
A new carriage as to shape, and one that is
finely fitted in brocade velvet, $25.
We believe that no such values in Baby
Carriages as the above have ever before been
offered in Sacramento. 1t will certainly pay in
tending purchasers to see these and make COM
parsons before buying elsewhere.

Electric Lighting.

The Capital Gas Company Is putting up
new poles in various parts of the city for
the purpose of adding some seventy street
intersection electric lights to the present

city with the Redding- Clarke Company
The company is also laying the founda.
ton for building IN the vicinity of the gas
works, In which will be placed another
electric plant. doubling the capacity of the
present system. When it is completed the
works on Sixth street will be closed down
and consolidated with the new plant. The
enterprise involves the expenditure of q
large sum of money.
