IT'S ALL RIGHT.


The Supplemental Register May Be Used
at the Polls.
The case of Brannigan VS.. E. ]. Gregory
and others, which was an application for a
writ of Injunction to prevent the issuance
and usage of the supplemental register at
to,day's election, came up for hearing be-
fore Superior Judge Armstrong yesterday.
Add c. Hinkson appeared for the
plaintiff, while Major w. A. Anderson,
District Attorney E. Bruner and Assistant
District Attorney, A. I. Bruner, represented
the defendant.
The case was argued pro and con all
day, and innumerable authorities were
cited in support of each side.
The plaintiff contended that taxpayers
had the right at any time to enjoin pro-
ceedings that tended to increase the burden
of taxation; that the making-up of the
supplemental register tended to increase
the burden of taxation that the issuance
was illegal, and that the law did not plo-
vide for the payment of the printing of it.
District Attorney Bruner replied that if
the law did not provide for the payment of
the printing of the register, the present in
junction proceedings were premature, as
no bill had as yet been presented for the
printing oft.
w. a. Anderson made the closing argu.
ment for the defense, and also contended
that the proceedings were premature. He
argued that the proper time to apply for a
writ Of injunction was when demand was
made upon the Treasury for the printing,
at which time there would be room for ar
gument as TO whether or not the paying of
the bill would constitute ah increase of the
burden of taxation.
The case was submitted to the Court late
in the afternoon. Judge Armstrong de-
cided promptly that he had no authority
to prevent the use of the supplemental reg
lister at the polls. in regard to the pay
ment of the printing bill, he could see no
authority for that, either. Still, as there
might be room for argument on this mat
ter, he gave the attorneys five days in
which to look it up and present it to him.

1mpRoyEMENr ASSOCIATION.

The Executive Committee Abandons the
Permanent Exhibit Building.
The Executive Committee of the I'm
provement Association met last evening in
Justice of the Peace Bakers Office. on
street. There were present Messrs. Luhrs,
Deylin, Baker, Dray, Lindley, Briggs,
hatcher and Parkinson.
After the minutes of the previous meet
ing had been dispensed with, Secretary
Baker read the regular monthly report
of Superintendent Medley, of the Perma-
nent Building 1t showed that there were
something like $50 visitors there since the
last report.
Chairman Luhrs stated that in accord
ance with the wishes of majority of the
members of the Association, he had in
formed Superintendent Medley that after
March 10th his services would be dispensed
with, and the Association would cease to
maintain the exhibit. The exhibit had
proved failure so far as Sacramento city
was concerned, he said, and as the
Association was out of funds it was
not practical or advisable to main
tain it any longer. The Chairman
added that Mr. Medley had shown him
letter from w. ii. Mills, requesting the
proposed action of the Association, and in
timating that the State Board of Trade
might take hold of the building and main
tain it. Mr.. Medley, said the Chairman,
had asked the privilege of staying at the
building without pay until the State Board
of Trade could be heard from. Personally,
said Mr.. Luhrs, he was sorry to see the
building go, but such had to be the case.
The Association was getting no assistance
now from either the city or county The
products which were shown had to be pur-
chased, as a rule, and were not donations
He did not consider it fair that the mem
bers of the Improvement Association
should contribute from their private purses
constantly to keep the exhibit alive.
Secretary Baker said he recently had
talk with the President of the State Board
of Trade, and the latter said it was likely
that the State Board would take hold of the
building. Mr.. Baker then moved formally
that the Office of Superintendent of the Ex-
position Building be abolished, but that
Mr.. Medley be permitted to remain in
charge pending action of the State Board of
Trade.
Other members expressed views similar
to those of the President, and Mr.. Bakers
motion was adopted.
Various matters pertaining to the city's
condition were discussed, but no other
business was transacted.

Smith, the chic. attraction in Second
street dance-house, was up for petit larceny.
The complaining witness, a man named
McCurry, accused her of having robbed
him OF his watch and chain and a small
amount of money. McCurry was about
the only witness on the part of the prosecu-
ton, while for the defense there were half
a dozen, all OF whom testified to facts just
the opposite of what McCurry did. Al
though the preponGerance of evidence was
on the side of the defense, Judge Buckley
said he thought the prosecuting witness
story was the most reasonable one, and
found the defendant guilty. The case was
reopened, however, to allow the introduc-
ton of more testimony for the defense. and
was set for tomorrow.
Sam Donnelly. charged with burglary,
had his case continued till tomorrow.
The examination and trial of John Van
tine, on charges of burglary and petit
larceny, was set for March 18th.
Mary Price and John Lynch, drunks,
were discharged.
George Mollusk forfeited S. for being
drunk. and Joseph Meyerhofer was taxed
81 so for similar offense.
The case of ]. D. Smith, charged with
battery, was dismissed on the filing by the
prosecuting witness OF stipulation of satis-
faction.
James Lunt and Patsy Connors were each
fined $40 for petit larceny.

BASEBALL NOTES.
The League Season Drawing Near-The
First Sacramento Game.

The League Season Drawing Near-The
First Sacramento Game.
Now that the opening of the California
League season is drawing near, all is astir
in baseball circles, and the first game to be
played here week from next Sunday will
doubtless tax the capacity of Snowflake
Park. If the weather is favorable from
now on, the grounds will be in fine condi
ton, and also the players. Sacram
and Oakland will be the contesting mines,
and there will be so many new faces in both
clubs that the players will all be watched
closely.
Stockton has twelve members to her
club; nine of them are n alive Sons of the
Golden West.
Pitcher Coughlin of last years Oaklands,
has made a most favorable impression
among the members of the Chicago club =,
with whom he has signed.
The Chronicle says: The local managers
will make mistake if they permit catcher
Lohman to go without any engagement
this season. He has been putting up
quality of ball in Los Angeles this winter
that should entitle him to admission in
any company
Buchan, the new second -baseman of the
San Francisco club, will, il is said, entirely
eclipse Tip" 0'Neill in the coaching line
Wilson, whose shortstop work last year
will be remembered by sports here, has
signed with Stockton.
Some of the best players in the Califor-
MIA league last year have left or are about
to leave for the East. SWEET, Tom Brown.
Smslley and Stoekwell have gone. Next
Saturday Tom Power, Danny Long, Lou
Hardie, Bill Brown, Pete Sweeney and Phil
Knell will leave to report to their respective
clubs.
Ebright will captain the San Franciscos,
O'Neill, the 0aklands; Fairhurst, the Stock
tons, and Stapleton the Sacramentos.
The selection of Sheridan and Donohue
as umpires for the League seems to give
general satisfaction. The former came
high, but they had to have him.

Eugene ]. Gregory, the present Mayor,
who will undoubtedly be selected o-day,
was born in this city, and is 35 years old.
He is the head of one of the most success
full business houses in the city, and enjoys
an enviable reputation throughout the
State. Three years ago he was elected
Mayor by majority of ,919 votes over John
@. Brown, the present manager of the State
Board of Trade. His administration has
been most satisfactory to the people, and he
has accomplished much for the best inter-
ests of the city. During his incumbency
of the Office he has acquired a thorough
knowledge of the city's needs, and is now
better prepared than ever to accomplish
good results. He has manly ambition to
complete the good work he has begun, and
should receive the hearty support of those
who have the public welfare at heart.
His opponent, Mr.. Comstock, is a worthy
citizen, honest and reliable, but he does
not possess the necessary qualifications for
the Office, especially at time when mu2i-
cipal affairs are in such complicated con-
dition as at present.
The other Republican candidates are re-
ferred to in another column.

of Mark Feeley?


of Mark Feeley?
In the accounts of the murder of Marx
Feeley at Antelope recently by Cbas. Free
man. the statement was made that Free
mans own brother-in-law volunteered the
information to the Assistant District Attor-
ney that only recently Freeman told his
(the brother-in-law' wife that he intended
to mt the cook out of the wsy."
J. A. Easton, the brother-in-law mem
tened, was in town yesterday, and stated
that it was Wilke. Freeman's partner, who
said this to his lEsston'sl wife instead Of
Freeman. It occurred several days prior to
the murder, and Freeman and Wilke were
on spree together. Mr.. Easton drove up
with his wife, and went into the store, leav-
ing his wife in the vehicle. Wilke ap-
preached her, and putting his foot on one
of the wheels. told her that he and Free
man had notified their employer, Mr.. De
Kav, that he must discharge the cook tthe
deceased). In conclusion be stated that If
De Kay did not get rid of him, they-Free-
man and himself-would put him out of
the way.

THE RAILROADS.

The Temporary Blockade Raised, and all
Trains Moving Again.
The heavy fall of snow on Saturday and
Sunday, which caused temporary block
ade on the Central Pacific road near the
Summit, ceased yesterday, and in the after
noon the track was cleared. At the rail-
road office last evening it was learned that
four passenger trains were expected from
the East at about midnight.
All of the trains carried baggage, the
second and fourth had express matter, and
on the first three there were mail cars.
The Oregon road was opened last even
ing as far as Ashland, and the north-bound
express had orders to go through to the lat
ter point.
