How Their Cases Were Disposed of in
the Police Court.
There was short session Of the Police
Court yesterday, and but six cases on the
calendar. Two charges appeared against
All Sing, but that of misdemeanor was
dismissed. He was ordered to appear for
trial on March Both. on charge of dis
turbing the peace.
City Attorney Hart had the complaint
against Frank Adams, charging him with
petit larceny, dismissed. Adams was
fined S25, however, for disturbing the
peace.
The complaining witness in the case of
G. w. Brooks, charged with battery, did
not appear, and Judge Cravens ordered
an attachment for his arrest issued.
Brooks volunteered the statement that
the plaintiff had stated TO him that he was
not going to prosecute the case. The
court stated, however, that Damon, the
complaining witness, would be found, if
possible, and made to explain his con-
duct.
Charles Mccarthy, charged with drunk
enness, pleaded for mercy, and Judge
Cravens allowed him his liberty.

THE BAUQUIER ESTATE.

An Opinion by the Supreme Court Sets
the Notwithstanding at Rest.
The Supreme Court filed it's decision
yesterday in the matter of the appoint
ment of an administrator of the estate
of Joseph Bauquier, deceased. The case
court says:
"Joseph Bauouier died leaving an
estate estimated at about $4,000. In his
will he named his daughter, Mrs. HI. G.
Rode, executrix. Letters having been
refused her, Frank Bauquier "a son of the
deceased), the Public Administrator and
one Smith, severally applied for letters.
Atthe hearing a contest was inaugurated
between Bauquier and the Public Ad-
ministrator. The court denied the ap-
plications of Bauquier and Smith, and
appointed the Public Administrator, and
thereupon Bauquier took this appeal.
IAN appeal had been previously taken
by Mrs. Rode from the order denying
her application TO be appointed execu-
trix. Since the submission of this case
here, that order has been reversed, and
thereby the right of Mrs. Rode to be APP
pointed eXecutriX apparently settled.
The matters involved in this appeal, there
fore, have become practically OF little con-
sequence.
I'VE think, however, it must be held
in this case that it was error to hold that
the fact that Frank Bauquier was preju-
diced against his sister disqualified him
to act as administrator. Therefore the
order denying his application and APP
pointing the Public Administrator should
be reversed"

RAMIE CULTURE.
A Committee Of Grangers ConsuIts
With Governor Markham.
The Executive VIII Probably Sign the
Ramie Bfll-Good Prospects for
the Industry.

Sacramento Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, held special meeting at Granger
Hall yesterday, for the purpose of con-
sidering the subject of ramie culture.
w. FL. Murray, Secretary of the Cali
fornia Ramie Company, addressed the
Grange at considerable length. He stated
that his company would take pleasure in
establishing ramie culture station at
any place in Sacramento County that
should be chosen. 1t should be remem-
bered, he said, that fully fifty acres
should be planted by the farmers to make
it profitable to send a machine, engine
and baling press to the station. If, how
ever, a less number Of acres were planted,
the
STALKS COULD BE SENT
To some other station for working. In
conclusion, Mr.. Murray said his COM
pany would agree to buy all the ramie
fiber grown, and would also send a
machine when the crop was grown, to
work the stalks free of charge to the
growers representing the Sacramento
Grange. The proposed station, he said,
would be left under the control of the
Grange for three years, it being under
stood, however, that fifty acres should be
planted each year.
Nv AFTER Mr.. Murray had concluded his
remarks, the Grange appointed COM
lnittee, composed of the following named,
to wait upon Governor Mark ham, and
urge him to sign the bill to encourage
ramle culture, recently passed by both
houses of the Legislature: Erskine Greer,
III. w. Johnson, c. +. Mack, Jr., Mrs. c..
A. Hull and Mrs. q. Z. Rich.
THE GOVERNOR FAvoRs IT.
This committee proceeded Immediately
after the adjournment of the meeting to
the Governors office, and succeeded in
gaining an audience with the Executive.
After short consultation, the Governor
said he felt convinced that the bill was a
good one, and he intimated that he would
in all probability sign it.
There is but little doubt now that ramie
culture will progress rapidly in Sacra-
mento County. Already large number
OF prominent fnrmerS-among them being
ex-senator William Johnston, Myron
Smith, Charles Hull, and Charles j. Jen-
kins-have signitied their intention of
engaging in the industry as soon as prac-
ticable. 1t promises to be profitable
industry both for the growers and the
manufacturing interests. When the fiber
is produced it should never be allowed to
find its way to France. 1t has been sug-
gested that with water power at Folsom,
factory could be built, and the fiber
manufactured into threads that are vcry
valuable-worth not less than 81 per
pound

Reports From Various Sections Show
Them to Be in a Forward Condition.
The following weekly crop report is
sued by authority of the State Agri-
cultural Society, in conjunction with the
Signal Service, was telegraphed East by
Sergeant Barwick at 1890 o'clock yester-
day morning. The report shows:
In the northern part of the Sacramento
Valley the crop prospects were never
better.
Light frosts were observed in number
OF the coast counties, but no damage was
done by them.
The San Joaquin Valley crop outlook is
good, but further showery weather would
be very beneficial.
In the Sacramento Valley the prospects
all tend toward large yield; in fact, the
outlook was never better
In the foothills the prospects are ex-
tremely good for an abundant fruit crop,
The rainfall and temperature in North
ern California has been slightly below the
normal.
In Southern California the temperature
averages were about normal, while the
rainfall was below the average. Grain is
growing well, but more rain is needed in
the vicinity Of Riverside and San Diego.
Peaches, cherries, plums and apricots
are IN full bloom everywhere, and early
vegetables are abundant.
