THE OLD LAIL.
A Proba bility That the Trustees VIII |
be Advised to Repair It.

Probability That the Trustees VIII
be Advised to Repair It.
The committee appointed to re-examine
the old jail building and report upon the
feasibility of making it safe and habitable,
practically concluded their labors yester-
day, and will report the result to the City
Trustees at their meeting next Monday.
1t is understood they will recommend
a thorough overhauling OF the building,
at an expense of some 5000 or ST, 900.
The proposed improvements include a
new foundation under one of the corners,
similar to that put in a few years ago; the
tearing out of the present cells and the
substitution therefor of iron tanks, sim
liar to those in the County Jail; the
strengthening of the supports of the
water-tank: Iron-latticed doors and win
dows, instead of the wooden ones that
have done service so long; the removal of
closets from the cells and thorough over
hauling of the plumbing system, and va
rious other changes.
Mr.. Goodell, the architect, stated yes
terday that with the contemplated i'm
provements he thought the building could
be made perfectly safe.
There were not few citizens, however.
who openly expressed their condemna-
ton of any plan that would involve the
sinking of so much more money in the old
building, which they say will have to be
abandoned ut no very distant day. The
chief thing in its favor is that it has yard
room and other convenienceS that other
places have not.

CAPITOL COUNCIL
One of the Finest Institute Balls Ever
Given in Sacramento.

One of the Finest Institute Balls Ever
Given in Sacramento.
The ball given last night at Turner Hall
Institute, was one of the most successful
social events in the history of this order.
At one time during the evening fully
$50 couples participated in the dances.
The hall was decorated in most beauti-
ful manner. The elegant banner of the
Council, won at the Cathedral Fair, was
placed in position on the stage, and the
orchestra stand looked a veritable tropical
garden, so heavily weighted was it with
potted palms, orange trees and other re-
treShing foliage.
The grand march proved a most inter-
eSting spectacle. 1t was led by President
James Longshore, Jr, and wife. and Ar
thur Wilson and wife, and it was found
necessary to span the entire length OF the
hall five times before the procession could
be accommodated.
The programme, which was printed in
a tasteful souvenir form, was one of the
finest ever given by this Council. 1t in
cluded fourteen dances and two ''eXtras,"
and it was late hour before the affair
came to close.
The success of the ball was due to the
various energetic committees which were
in charge. They were as follows: Ar
rangements-D. McDougall, A. J. Will
son, w. f. Gormley, q. f. Hook, L. f.
Lohman, j. Denny and G. Stack. Recep-
tion-W. J. Hamm, F. d. Ryan. NJ. II.
Sheehan, J. G.. Genshlea and ]. b. White.
James Longshore, Jr., acted as Floor
Manager, and he was ably assisted by J.,
J. Moran, j. NJ. Sullivan, e. j. Kennedy.
w. E. Kent, j. f. Devine and f. X.

NO VERDICT.
A Simple Question on Which jury

A Simple Question on Which a Jury
Could Not Agree.
Eleven Police Court jurors agreed last
evening, after a few hours deliberation,
that Messrs. Gibson q Cook, proprietors
of the Lafayette Saloon, were not con-
Quoting their place after midnight with
out license. The other man on the Jury
held that they were, and as the tug-of-
war could not be decided, Judge Cravens
dismissed the twelve citizens and reset
the case for another trial on the 23d inst
The jurymen were: s. II. Farley, J. A.
Iefever, Dennis Cunningham. II. Wach-
horst, a. Dittmar, George II. Stevenson,
Il. b. Harmon, John Haberkorn, Fred
Gehring, 4. A. Crouch, Martin Arentz
and Samuel Gale.
The defense sought during the trial to
introduce all sorts of irrelevant side
issues in the way of ftestimony-sucha as
whether or not the place was a bona fide
restaurant tafter midnight, of course
bat Judge CravenS ruled them all out.
\ week ago last Monday the Lafayette
proprietors applied for special license to
keep their saloon open after midnight,
claiming that after that hour they con-
Quoted restaurant. The Trustees re-
fused TO grant such license on the ground
thar the skeleton lunch set out did not
constitute a restaurant.
The question, therefore, for the jury to
determine was: Are the defendants
keeping their saloon open after midnight
without license?''
AS before stated, eleven OF the jurors
held that they were not. No wonder
Judge Cravens wants TO try another jury.

QUEER INSURANCE.

The following from The Standard fully
and plainly illustrates the basis of idiocy
which has brought very many fraternal
endowment schemes to grief. The back
ground of the picture is an enormous cred
uliy on the part of the public, which
hasup to within comparatively short
time made these companies so largely
successful.
For the first time since the legislature of Mas
sachusetts legalized fraternal endowment con.
cer1s, the figures of these transactions are given
to the public, in accordance with an order adopted
by the house requesting the insurance commits
siorer TO compile the same. The figures speak
volumes. The total membership of these con.
cerBs increased from l01 in 1889 to $3.50, De
cember 81 1890, showing how general has been
the rush to get in early and secure place in the
firsi division. The liability upon these certif
Gates, varying from 800 to $2000 in periods OF
Six months to ten years, amounts to $a2,9s0, 40
The cash available to pay the same amounts to
81 ,D3,0ll. The total collections for ls9U have
amounted to 1860, ,145, of which $1,0S2, ,346 has
been paid for expenses and but $464, ,795 has been
paid to certificate holders. That is, 1t has cost
about $2.50 to pay out $1.00. The members OF
these concerns should not ask for any more con
elusive evidence than this of the character OF
these speculative schemes.
