he says Works has been cutting him in
the back.
The whole difficulty is said to have
arisen from the fact that McCloskey re-
fused to fine his players when Manager
Ginsberg thought they should have been
fined.
Ginsberg and Manager Robinson of the
Oakland team had a conference last even
ing, and the Oakland man upheld Nc
Closkey and blamed left-fielder Works
for all the trouble.
1t was rumored on the streets late last
night that an agreement had been reached
between McCloskey and the manage
ment, by which the former is to take
charge Of the team again. McCloskey is
very gentlemanly and popular player,
and 1t is probable that the management
prefers to retain him if possible. If this
is the case, Works, Hutchinson, Peoples
and some others may have to go. 1t is
understood that another conference will
be held to-day when the whole matter
will be settled

HOOD ALSTONS DEATH.
The Coroner's Jury Finds That 1t Was
Accidental.

Accidental.
Coroner Clark held an inquest Satur-
day evening in the case of little Hood
Aston, who was drowned at the swim
ming baths on Friday.
The evidence developed little that has
not already been published. r. w. Cur
It's told how he dove into the tank repeat
edly and swan about the bottom until he
located the body of the unfortunate little
fellow. The body was in a cramped posi-
ton. He did every thing he could to re-
Vlve the lad, but it was too late. SUPER
Intendent w. l.. Willis said that Drs.
Mealand, Bruno and Tyrrell were called
in as soon as possible, and they worked for
fully an hour and half to resuscitate the
boy but failed. He said he had ordered
the boy to leave the tank on one or two
occasions because he was staying in too
long.
Charles De We're said he saw the Alston
boy and Walter HALEY, another lad,
playing and pushing each other into the
water. He then saw them both take a
header into the deeper water Only one
Of them came up. The HALEY boy struck
the water first when they dove.
Walter Haley testified that neither he
nor young Aston could swim. but they
had been TO the baths every day. He did
not see his companion drowned.
The jury found a verdict of accidental
drowning.

Philip Elchman Dies Suddenly in His
Lodging-house.
Philip Eichman, man who had been
employed as bartender in various saloons
in the city, and more generally known as
Dutch Phil" was found dead in his
room at 4l2 L street on Friday last He
was about town on the preceding night
and appeared to be in his usual health.
1t is said that when the body was found
the face was quite black, as is usually tho
case with persons who die from over
doses Of morphine. The body was taken
in charge by an undertaken and was
buried yesterday.
Eichman had been quite despondent of
late, and drank heavily. Some of his
friends believe his sudden death was
caused by morphine, and they think the
case should have been reported to the
Coroner.
One person who knew the deceased
quite well states that he was a sufferer
from some kind of bronchial complaint.
Or catarrh of the stomach, as he had fre-
quent spells of choking caused by
phlegm. Tie fact that his face was dis
colored in death renders it possible that
be died in one of these choking spells.
Elchman is known to have relatives
some say in Oakland, and that his mother
lives there.

Several Rows and "a Possible AmicabIe

During the past two days the internal
warfare which has been going on in the
local baseball club has revolved into sew
eral different aspects. At first it was the
management against Captain McCloskey
alone Then it whirled around until the
management was for the time be-

THY PILLOW OF CLAY"
Where the winds come1n from the far away
Green g rded isles Of tropical seas,
Loaded with odor of balm and bay,
And oran &c and olive. and al OF these:
Where the roses grow tail, and the willow
Is binding in silence to-Gay,
they nave laid thee to rest on thy pillow
Thy pillow OF clay.
The world will go on ana go over,
The same as il over hath done:
The grass viii grow tall, and the clover
Ri'ISb 1a,2lo al ha or = n.
But nCN er again wilt thou borrow
one care from the cares of to-day,
Nor press, as with sorrow, tomorrow,
Thy pillow of clay.
Under the grasses and roses:
Under the dew and the sod;
Under the lilies and daisies,
hid in the silence of God
out OF our sight have they laid thee,
Deep in the earth to-day
Friendly hands fashioned and made thee
y pillow of clay.
Mother Earth, as if eager to press thee,
Her lips to thy cold lips pressed;
Father Goa, as il eager TO bless thee
| Summoned thee unto thy rest:
While we are waiting the blessing
Waiting and striving to-day
Thou art 50 peacefully pressing thy pillow
Thy pillow Of clay.
Under the blossorning roses,
Under the dew and the sod,
How silent and sweet the repose is
That comes to the children OF God
Then why should we shrink from the willow I?
o, why are we weeping to day,
When thou art asleep on thy pillow
Thy pillow of clay!
life! thou art feetest when sweetest!
o death! thou art loftier still!
The battle will never be over
Till the heart is laid under the hill;
Then welcome the shades of the willow,
For angels shall sure roll away
The stone, and smooth down our pillow
Our pillow of clay.

DROWNED IN THE AMERICAN.
Sad Fate of a Japanese Boy Who Went
Swimming.
He Could Not Swim, and After Going
Into the Water Was Not
Seen Again.

A party of five Japanese youths, who
are employed on the ranch of A. Menke,
near Brighton, went over to the Amer
lean River Saturday afternoon for a
swim.
They were all splashing about and
having merry time when some one
called attention to the fact that one of the
party, q lad named Yosheda, was miss
ing. They thought at first that he was
hiding on the bank so as to frighten
them and paid no attention to the matter
for time. But when the youth did not
put IN appearance they grew alarmed and
made vigorous search for him. His
clothes were in a small boat they had
been using, but the youth was nowhere
to be found. They were satisfied then
that their companion had been drowned,
and going back to the ranch gave the
alarm.
4 party of employees was made up and
went Immediately to the place where the
Japanese had been bathing. Several of
them dove into the river repeatedly, but
no trace of the remains could be found.
The search was resumed, and during
the forenoon the body of tho unfortunate
lad was recovered.
Coroner Clark was notified, and in the
afternoon the body was brought to the
Morgue.
T. c. Millard, who claims that he saw
the accident from an adjoining field, says
he saw young Yosheda dive into the
river at q place where there is known to
be hole about twelve feet deep. He did
not rise to the surface again. One OF the
japanese boys, however, made state
ment TO the Coroner to the effect that the
deceased was in their boat just before he
was missed, and he believes that Yosheda
lost his balance and fell out. The youth
could not swim, and his companions do
not think it is likely that he jumped off
OF the boat into deep water voluntarily
The deceased was only IS years Of age
and was native of Japan.
Coroner Clark will hold an inquest in
the matter

ALREADY NOTICEABLE.
Removal of the Street Sheds Has Ben
flied the CITY,


Sacramento has improved within the
past year." remarked Rev. w. c. Merrill
to RECORD-UNIoN reporter on Saturday.
In what particular respect?" it was
asked.
"Oh, i'll many ways. There seems to
be more life and energy among the peo-
pie. for one thing. There is considerable
building going on, and old buildings are
being improved, and taken altogether I
remark quite change for the better since
last year.'
Don't you think, Mr.. Merrill, that
much OF the Improvement you have
noticed along the business streets has
been due TO the removal Of the Old and
dirty sheds from over the sidewalks in
many places?'r
Undoubtedly that is SO. Why, down
III San Diego, the progressive city where
now reside, the authorities do not allow
any unseemly distractions on or over
the public sidewalks. San Diego had
some OF these Street-sheQS before new
life and blood and modern ideas were i'm
ported into the town, and one day the
Council made an order that all such must
come down within Il given time. Those
that were not removed came down soon
atterward.';
How did the Council 10 it2''
Why, they just sent men about with
axes, and every unsightly obstruction on
the public sidewalks were chopped
down and hauled away-balconies, old
signs, and all such eyesores. Now we
have a bright, clean, progressive-loolling
city"
The RECORD UNION respectfully calls
the attention ofthe Sacramento silurian
contingent to these facts. The Trustees
should see to it that the good work they
have ina,gurated shall be carried for
ward until al portions Of the business
streets shall look rs bright and clean and
business-like as those buildings which
have been brought forth from their OBJ
security by the removal Of the sheds that
were erected under the system inaug-
Grated in the winter of 10 and the

An ARRAY Which is Said to Have Oc-

The report ola pistol was heard in the
vicinity Of Seventh and L streets yester-
day about ii a. NJ. When inquiries were
made as to the cause nobody seemed to
know anything about it, and much mys-
terry surrounded the affair."
It was learned later, however, that the
shooting took place in the saloon at that
corner. 1t was said that young man,
who is well connected, became abusive
because the saloon-keeper mentioned the
fact that the young man had not paid a
liquor bill amounting to something like
$40.
The young man was finally elected, but
returned shortly afterward for more
trouble. This time the saloon-keeper, it
is alleged, drew revolver and fired a
shot at his debtor, but without effect.
There were no arrests.

SATURDAYS GAMES.
The OaklanGs Got Their Work in On
the Local Team.

the Local Team.
Oakland had an easy time with the Sac
ramentos on Saturday. The home team
was badly crippled by the recent disrup-
ton, and, with the exception OF Peoples,
Works and Stapieton, the players seemed
to lose heart. Sunday made two glaring
errors, his only chances, and EuIin at
second kept pace with him. Barry played
at first, and did his work vel, and also
surprised himselfand the few people who
witnessed the contest by knocking out a
three bagger.
France was an easy mark for the visit
ors, who batted him freely, netting q to-
tai Of sixteen hits. Sommers, or the
other hand, was very effective, only seven
hits being made off his delivery, and they
were scattered.
Oakland started in with rush, and by
good stiCk-wOrk, aided by seven glaring
errors, piled up thirteen runs in the first
two innings.
The home team then commenced to play
good ball, and the visitors failed to score
again until the eighth, when four men
crossed the plate.
The Sacramentos scored but twice dur
ing the contest. In the third Peeples
reached first on ahit, and Hutchinson fol-
lowed suit, sending Peoples to third, who
scored on passed ball. Their second
run was made in the fifth SUNDAY MADE
