NEW LOCAL ENTERPRISE.
A Sacramento Firm Reaching Out In a
New Direction.

New Direction.
There is strong prospect of new and
important industry being established in
this CITY, that of the manufacture of sheet
iron pipe for the conducting of water. The
enterprising firm which is contemplating
this step is that of Schaw, Ingram, hatcher
e. Co., which recently purchased the ex-
tensive hardware business of Hebron &
Co. They last week took contract to sup
ply two and one-half miles of 22-inch pipe
for the Golden Feather Channel Company
of Butte county.
In the manufacture of this piping the
firm will consume no less than twenty car
loads of sheetiron, and the material will
soon be here and the work commenced.
The fulfllment of this contract involves an
expenditure of something near $4,000, a
large portion of which will be paid out for
labor. The fact that the firm had to COM
pete with San Francisco bidders, and that
it did so successfully, is another evidence
of the advantage possessed by Sacramento
as a manufacturing point.
The work of carrying out the big con-
tract referred to will serve as the nucleus
for plant to manufacture iron piping,
and an enterprise of that character will be
permanently maintained by Messrs. Schaw,
Ingram, hatcher & Co., in connection with
their extensive hardware business.
The work will be done under the super
vision of Floyd Taber, who had charge of
the manufacture and laying of the water
pipe in the Orangevale Colony near Folsom.
The firm shows commendable enterprise
in securing the contract referred to and for
it's proposed establishment of a permanent
factory here.

TAKING A VACATION.
The State Omcials and Many Subord
mates are at San Jose.

The State Oficials and Many Subordi-
mates are at San Jose.
The Capitol building is almost deserted
by the State officers, and even clerks; and
stranger who might happen to stroll into
the several departments at the present time
would imagine that the affairs of the State
are conducted at times in remarkably
easy-going manner. The Democratic Con-
vention at San Jose has drawn the greater
portion of the employees away, but then
little diversions like this occur only once
in four years, and besides the absence of
officials from work at this time is of vital
importance to themselves, as their brea,-
and-butter for four years hence may de-
pend npon the result of the political
wrangle in the Garden City.
Governor Waterman is not at his office,
but his absence is accounted for by sick
ness. He is reported to be seriously i'll at
his residence in this city.
Secretary of State Hendricks is at San
Jose seeking a denomination, and Tom
Egan, the efficient clerk and politician in
Mr.. Hendricks Office, is also there.
Clerk McGrath is the sole occupant of the
Controllers Office, out of force of eight
men. John P. Dunn, Felix Dunn, and
clerks Oullahen, O'Connor, Clark, O'Reilly
and German are all at San Jose working
industriously to retain their chief in office
for a third term.
Treasurer Herold took all the force in his
Office, except one clerk, to San Jose, and
business is suspended until the Convention
adjourns.
Attorney General Johnson and his de-
putty have decamped for the scene of war;
Deputy Supreme Court Clerk Williams
found that his presence among the dele
gates was quite necessary, and Librarian
Perkins and W. s. Leake have dropped
library business and hied themselves to the
scene of battle.
State Printer Young, not being Demo-
Graf, remains at home.

RECOVERED THE swAG.n
The Men Who Robbed sherburn's StoI
Arrested at Truckee.

The Men Who Robbed sherburn's Store
Arrested at Truckee.
On Tuesday three tough-looking speci-
mems of humanity dropped into Truckee
and were soon moving about among the
citizens of that town trying to dispose of a
varied assortment of iewelry, cutlery, etc.
The officers there had been notified by
Chief of Police Drew of this city of the raid
made few nights ago on the store of w.
n. Sherburn. and also had seen in the
RECORD UNION full description of the arti-
Giles stolen. They soon discovered that they
were identical with the goods which the
men were selling, placed the latter under
arrest and telegraphed to Chief Drew, who
wired back to hold the men until he
should arrive there.
The Truckee officers recovered an armful
of watch chains. rings, knives, sleeve-but-
tons, ETC., which were sent to this city last
evening for Identification. They proved to
be the same articles that were stolen from
Sherburnis store. Some of the lines of
goods were short, bat it was believed the
missing valuables would be found where
the men had taken lodgings.
Among the recovered articles was a
watch, chain and charm which Mr.. Sher-
burn identified as belonging to him, but of
the loss of which he had not before been
aware.
Chief Drew went up to Truckee by last
nights overland train, and will return
with the prisoners to-day.

POOR MANS FISH.
Salmon Almost Given Away by Fisher
men at the Bay.

Salmon Almost Given Away by Fisher
men at the Bay.
A number of Italian fishermen have
accustomed, says yesterdays San
francisco Chronicle, to carry on thriving
business with the canneries at Sacramento
and in this city by selling them their
catches of salmon. Latterly, however, the
canneries have become somewhat strained.
The fishermen demanded five cents
pound for salmon and were offered only
three cents. This rate was refused and
combine has been effected among the fish
ermen. They determined to bring their
fish down to this city rather than accept
the Gamers prices, and yesterday the novel
scene presented itself at Fisherman's wharf
of dozen or more fishing smacks loaded
down with thousands of salmon. The
news spread around that the fish were to
be disposed of at ruinous prices and
crowd commenced to gather. Toward noon
the wharf was crowded with men, women
and children. Along the dock were piles
of salmon, some specimens weighing as
much as thirty-five pounds. An excited
Italian mounted a pile and addressed the
crowd:
81 sella de flesh cheap Twenty-Five
cents for de sslm'."
No further Latin eloquence was required.
A wild scramble ensued for the coveted
fish. Purchasers were as thick as flies in
summer One enterprising individual
rushed off to a nearby grocery store and
secured half dozen -four sacks. He re-
turned and filled them with salmon. Ex-
pressmen shifted business in the air. Some
of them carted off wagonloads of salmon to
various fish markets, where the retail con-
sumers will pay u cents pound for what
cost the original purchasers less than one
cent. Well-known business men took ad-
vantage of the cut rate and were not
ashamed to pay out quarter and seize and
carry off some OF the monster hsh.
The excitement was sustained during the
best part of the day by the arrival OF re-
endorsements of fishing smacks weighted
with salmon.
In conversation with one of the fisher
men reporter was informed that the can
merry men had made the cut because heavy
invoices Of fruit were being received st the
canneries, and the fish canning industry
was temporarily shelyed for fruit packing.
The fishermen rather than accept the price
are determined to boycott the canneries and
let the public reap the benefit Of it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Jim, the Penman," strong sensational
Drama was admirably played at the Metro
politan Theater yesterday afternoon by the
A. NJ. Palmer Company, to a small au-
dience. There was a very much better at
tendance at night, when a delightful one
act drama, "a Man of the World" was
played and in faultless manner. 1t was a
sermon in an act, bit of social philosophy
oyerflowing with truth and wise lessons. 1t
was followed by three-sct farce, Aunt
Jack" that.was disappointing. 1t served
only to show how remarkably versatile
are the several members of the troupe, and
to give six of the company opportunity to
prove how competent they are in eccentric
character acting. Otherwise Aunt Jack"
proved to be roaring farce with burlesque
well to the front throughout it, and full of
ludicrous and impossible situations.

The City Authorities inspect the system
Operating at San Jose.
Mayor Comstock, Trustees Mclaughlin
and Wolf, Messrs. Andrews, Wilson and
Lindley of the Board Of Trade, and B. u.
Steinman, went to San Jose yesterday to
see the electric railway system in operation
there.
A dispatch from San Jose last night says:
'They made thorough inspection of the
system in operation here. All were well
pleased with the working of the system, as
they could not help but be, as it is admit
ted by all who see it to be perfect success.
The road has been in operation since the
4th of April, and has never missed trip
during that time.
"Tbe Trustees are still non-commital as
to what they will do about the franchise,
but if the people of Sacramento could see
the working of this road they would all
favor it, Mr.. Steinman bad some talk
with Mr.. Henry who proposes to establish
a similar road in Sacramento, in regard to
furnishing power and allowing the COM
papy the use of the poles of the Electric
Light Company. If they agree. no more
poles will be needed on ] street. The sys-
TEN does not interfere with the free use OF
the street and is not unsightly in the least

WHOSE WAS 1T LAST N1eHT9
The Burglars Make Their Fourth Nightly
Raid,

Raid.
If the present burglary boom keeps up
few nights longer, the crooks will have
taken more money out of town than would
a firstclass circus. A few nights ago they
went through Sherburn's auction-house,
the next night they blew open safe in
Filand's grocery, the following night they
ransacked Davis branch furniture store in
search of booty, and when next the city
was wrapt in slumber TUESDAY night
they plundered Silvia's grocery store at
Second and Q streets.
The latter raid occurred between mid
night and daylight yesterday morning. The
burglars entered the store through side
door without much difficulty, and got away
with $50 in coin which had been left with
The proprietor for safe-keepiDg by man
who lived above the store. Silva's loss
consists chiefly of note for 81 600, but
which the crooks will hardly attempt TO
negotiate.
The question to be solved to-day is,
whose place was burglarized last night?
For il Is not likely the enterprising gang
who are now working the city will be fool
isb enough TO abandon a lead that is pay
ing such a good sum daily to the man. II
The people Of this city choose to hold out
such tlaltering inducements to crooks, the
latter ere not likely to show any lack OF
appreciation thereof. Next

MIGRATION OF ToADs.
Millions of Them Start From Wilmington
on Journey Northwest.

on Journey Northwest.
Without bugle call or drum beat to
announce the arrival of the hour for a
general advance, the millions of little
toads that have been SO conspicuous for
their numbers in this city several days
started on journey north yesterday
afternoon, says the Wilmington Gazette
and Bulletin. Soon after the heavy
shower had ceased the toads, by the hun
dreds, thousands and millions started on
hop, skip and jump, and the many inter-
ested spectators at once observed that
the migratory movement was in the direc-
ton of the north. The toads had been
keeping close to the river for several
days, and the numbers that covered the
banks for miles is beyond the power of
calculation. The tiny creatures seemed
gifted with intelligence, and it was no.
ticed that, unless headed off, they never
lost any ground by retracing their hops.
The livellest scene was on Market
street. Tens of thousands of the toads
came up from the river or hoped west
along the railroad to the roadway crossing
the tracks and advanced like an army up
Market street. The crossing at the Market
oliCCt tOlI Sdlco WAS DldCh VIII tISlD anu
hundreds lost their live beneath the wheels
of passing trains.
The railroad proved an almost insur-
mountable barrier, as they were unable to
jump over the rails, but they followed
along until they came to the ,jumping-over
place. Many succeeded in getting over
the first rail, only to be made prisoners
between the two rails, but in due course of
time they succeeded in getting out and
then continued on north. About dark last
evening they were crossing the canal, where
they had temporarily halted, ostensibly for
rest and refreshments. A curious feature
in connection with the sudden emigra-
ton was the fact that the toads made use
of the public highways, including the al
leys. Very few of them were found in
yards. Their movement was regular and
well-deined, and they kept at it with a
steadiness that was surprising

Winters is fast beeoning celebrated for
its fruits, both on account of the quality
and because they are the first in the mar
ket. As an evidence Of how rapidly the
fruit business is increasing in that town
Mr.. Pettingill gave our agent the following
figures:
Last year l shipped twenty.seven car
loads of fruit East, which was the largest
shipment up to that time that had ever
been made from this point. Since the 31st
of May this year l have shipped 1O4 cars,
and before the season is ended will ship
thirty-one cars more, making 135 cars in
ALL / shipped the first Car of Bartlett
pears on August 18th.
Armsby & Co. of Chicago have pur-
chased from here this season seventy-five
tons of dried apricots; Sherman. Morr &
Higgins, twenty-five tons; A. Lusk d Co.,
twenty-five tons E. p Loomis 81 Co., New
York, seventy FIVE tons; Porter Bros, Chi
cago, twenty-five tons. Most of this ship.
ment consisted of dried peaches, plums,
prunes, nectarines and grapes. If the
price of green fruits keep up in the East

lower price.
Melons have been rather an experiment
with US this year; we did not know
whether it would be paying investment
or not, but we tried it, shipping ten cars of
melons to Portland. 1t only took three
days for them 10 go through and we re-
ceived good prices and found that it paid

have good ranch in the southern part
of the State, but find that l cannot make
apricots pay from it oftener than once in
five years, while from Winters apricots pay
every year. In my estimation, Winters is
destined to be one of the most celebrated
fruit sections in the world. Fruit is ship
ped from here fifteen days earlier than any
other market in the State, and apricots will
pay from $3.50 to S400 per acre. l offered
J. A. Devilbiss $4,000 for twenty acres of
apricots, with less than 100 trees to the
acre--the trees being nine years old. This
will give you some idea as to what this
fruit business is worth.
