SUFFER- FORT TRUSTEES.

The Governor Appoints From the Ma
tive Sons.
Governor Markham yesterday ap-
pointed as members of the Board of Trus-
tees to look after the preservation OF
Sutter Fort, the following gentlemen:
Eugene J. Gregory, Frank D. Ryan, C.
E. Hollister, of Sacramento; E. E. Gaddis
of Yolo and c. E. Grunsky of San Fran
cisco. These gentlemen composed the
committee of the Grand Parlor. Native
Sons of the Golden West, who turned
over the property to the State under the
Act recently passed by the Legislature.
The Governor intimated few days ago
that he was inclined to appoint on the
board General j. G. MARITIME, in recogni-
ton of that gentleman's earnest work in
raising subscriptions to the Suffer Fort
fund and in securing the deed to the
property, but Mr.. MARITIME did not desire
the appointment. The Native Sons were
desirous of the appointment of the gentle
men composing their committee and he
was willing they should have the honor,
as the end for which he had worked had
been accomplished and that was all he
desired.

Look for one moment at the last official
census. This city has increased in the
past ten years, in round numbers, some
800 souls, when it should have increased
$4,000. What is the cause of this meager
increase? | can answer: 1t is because
capital is timid. Everywhere you go the
cry is, especially in the fall and winter,
"Oh, Sacramento is in danger; the water
is up to the top of her levees." This is
the cause, and it should be removed at
once. When this work is begun en-
ployment will be given to all who viii
work, and our merchants will be kept
busy and this city win assume her proper
place, as second to none on this coast.

LOST HER REASON.
Mrs. Mclain FerociousIy Assaults
County Hospital Nurse.
She Imagined that People Wanted to
Murder Her and Her Baby
Her Examination.

Several weeks ago Mrs. Ann McLain,
a young woman who lived in the alley
running between Third and Fourth,
and K streets, was taken to the County
Hospital. She was in delicate condi-
ton at the time, but otherwise appeared
to be in good health.
Two or three days after her arrival at
the hospital she gave birth to bouncing
baby boy. She did recover as readily as
the physicians had expected, and it was
noticed that her mind was giving way.
DR.. White and his assistants did all in
their power to aid the unfortunate woman,
but in vain.
She soon became raving maniac.
IMAGINARY MURDERERs.
She imagined that every one who en-
tered her apartment was trying to muir
der her and her baby, and kept club
concealed in her bed constantly with
which to defend herself against her imag-
mary assailants.
On Wednesday one of the nurses en-
tered the room and Immediately Mrs.
McLaln set upon her with her club and
belaEored her over the head with it un-
til others, who heard the nurse's screams,
rushed to her assistance. The patient
fought the reinforcements off like an en-
ragged tigress, and it was some time be-
fore she could be secured and placed
where could do no further harm.
On yesterday the unfortunate woman
was brought to the County Jail, but in
the afternoon, Judge Catlin and Drs Sim
mons and White, sitting as board of In
sane Commissioners, examined her.
HURTING HER BABY.
When asked why she had assaulted the
nurse, Mrs. McLain stated she caught the
nurse jabbing holes in her baby's face
with a knife, and tried to drive her of. She
said that everybody at the hospital was
trying to steal the baby, and she knew
they would do 1t eventually even if they
had to murder her (the mother).
Have you any other childrensbesides
this baby?" asked DR.. Simmons.
"Oh. bless you, yes" she replied sadly,
but they have all been stolen from me.

Dut 1t Expiodes, and Injuries Three school
BOYS.

Yesterday afternoon a peculiar acct
dent occurred at ST. Alphonsus pa
rochial school by which three little boys
sustained severe injuries, and which
may result 10 fatality.
Philip Bardhardt, ten-year-Old son
Of Lawrence Barnhardt, who resides at
No. So Twenty-sixth street, yesterday
morning found what he supposed to be
the empty shell of % cartridge. He
placed the shell upon the end of his
slate pencil and went to school. During
the afternoon he was rolling the pencil
upon his desk, and playfully
tapping the desk with the end upon
which the cartridge was placed.
The bullet had been removed from
the shell, and 1t was apparently empty,
but there was in it a small quantity Of
pulmonate Of mercury, which is highly
explosive. The conclusion caused this
substance to explode with a sharp re-
port, sending two pieces of the pencil
into the ceiling, and scattering the
shell about the school room. A scene
Of confusion ensued, the sisters be-
coming excited and the pupils rushing
frantically for the door. The sight Of
the three boys who were injured by
the explosion, bleeding profusely from
their wounds, only served to increase
the excitement. The little boys and
girls were finally Quieted, and mes
senger sent for physician.
Drs. Campbell and Alderman ar
rived in short time, and an examina-
ton was made OF the boys injuries. 1t
was found that the middle finger of
Barnhardt'S right hand was literally
blown off, hanging to the hand by a
shred OF flesh. His index finger was
also badly lacerated. The middle finger
was amputated by DR.. Ackermann, and
the boy was taken to his home. The
other boys were Willie Horn, who lives
on South Main street, and Willie Rote,
who lives on Wetzel street, in Manches-
ter. Horn received part of the shell
in the side of his neck, and was not Seri-
ously hurt. Rote sustained the most
dangerous wound. A piece of the shell
penetrated his neck in the region Of the
carotid artery, and as the wound bled
very much and the neck swelled up i'm
medlately, it was feared that the artery
had been severed. He was last night
pronounced to be in d dangerous con-
dition.
