Moderately Active Market - General and Uniform Advances - Activity and strength in New York Central.
 

NEW YORK. December b.
 The market to-day was only moderately active, and for the amount of business done exhibits less feature than on any day for some time. The market on the whole opened strong and remained Sd throughout the session. While the advances are not marked, except in one or two cases, they are general and uniform. The Vanderbilts, the grangers and specialties monopolzed the marked movements, while the general list moved slowly and quietly throughout the day. The general feature was the continued buying for invest ment. The activity and strength in New York Central was noteworthy. There was large buy ing of Rock Island, but realizing sales were sufa- cient to prevent it's getting much above them. Milwaukee Lake Shore and Western preferred advanced 115. Chicago Gas was strong and ad- vanced IS. The close was quiet but firm to strong, at or about the highest prices of the day

LEADING THE BLIND. u

A Visiting County Official Who Be-
came Very ''Tired.''
The odd spectacle of policemen arrest
ing Sheriff was presented to the deni-
zens of Front street yesterday.
1t appears that the ever-vigilant officer
Simmons was patrolling his beat near the
river front when he noticed several we'll
known thieves dodging about the foot OF
X street and acting in strange and sus-
picious manner generally. The officer
concluded that something was wrong,
and proceeded to investigate. The men
He'd upon seeing the peace guardian, and
the latter, believing that they had hidden
some stolen property in some one of the
many suitable places about the river
bank, he made a thorough search.
- He did not find any stolen property,
but he discovered what had attracted the
fogues. =
And that was nothing less than the
sleeping form, of tho dignifed Sheriff of
one of our neighboring counties, who has
been IN Sacramento several days looking
for criminal. He was leaning against a
post within two feet of the water s-edge.
Had he lost his balance, he would GER
tainly haye fallen into the river and
probably been drowned.
Officer Simmons tried to rouse the
sleeper, but that was more difficult task
than he had calculated upon. But at all
events he managed to get the weary Sher-
if to the City Prison, and to bed. The
visiting official had upon his person a
valuable gold watch and chain, some
other jewelry and considerable money
and it was these no doubt that the thieves,
whom officer Simmons scared off, We're
cndeayorlng to get possession of.

The wind was blowing gentle from the
northwest at rate of from two to four
miles per hour, and, with rain falling,
caused the casual observer to wonder
why rain falls with northerly wind.
while if they had but cast their eyes sky-
ward they would readily and plainly
have seen the nimbus or rain clouds
moving rapidly from the southeast, or in
an exactly contrary direction from that
point from which the wind was blowing
near the surface.
These nimbus clouds floating in the
upper southeast current are what fur
nishes the precipitation, and were NOV

per hour, as against a velocity OF two to
four miles per hour of the wind that was
generating electricity at the earth's sur
face by friction.
The highest and lowest Temperature one

one year ago to-day $50 and 4So, with no

CHRISFMAN'S PARTNER IN CRIME.
Samuel McCIelIand on His Way Back
to Auburn for Trial.
Charges of Forgery Against Him
Something About Christman,
the Horse-thief.

Sheriff Conroy, of Placer County, ar
rived in this city yesterday from Colusa,
with Samuel McClelland, who is wanted
at Auburn to answer charge of forgery.
The prisoner was lodged at the city
prison for the night, and will be taken up
to Auburn to-day.
McClelland, it appears, is partner of
the notorious horse-thief and robber,
Christman, who is now in Jail at Auburn.
Christman was arrested in this city some
time ago by Police Officer Wagner, and
delivered up to the authorities at Au-
burn, at which place he had been up to
his old pranks-horse- stealing. He was
tried and convicted of the charge, but
while awaiting sentence, broke Jail and
escaped.
THEY WERE IN HIDING.
After his escape Christman and Nc
Clelland joined company and took up
their residence in an old cabin, which
was located in secluded spot some dis
tance from Auburn. 1t was an ideal
hiding-place, and for some time the Off
GERS searched for the fugitive in vain.
Of course, while in hiding, Christman
had any money.
A plan was then evolved which was ex-
perlmented with. Several orders for pro-
visions, and groceries in general, were
made out and the signature of Christ
mans uncle forged upon them. McClel-
land, it is said, took these orders into
town and presented them to the mer-
chants and received the goods.
GOOD WHILE 1T LASTED.
The scheme worked well for a while,
but like all good things didn't last long.
The fOrgeries We're discovered, and the
authorities soon discovered the hiding
place of the two worthless. They made a
descent upon the place and captured
Christman, but McClelland escaped.
Christman was RECALLED, and search was
then inaugnrated for his partner. He
was soon located at Colusa and captured.
McClelland was rather reticent about
the affair while confined at the city
prison last night. OF course he denied
emphatically that he had committed any
forgeries, but admitted that be had pre-
sented some orders to Auburn merchants
for provisions. If they were forgeries he
did not know it, he said, and he was in
nocent of any attempt to defraud the mer-
chants.

IN SACRAMENTO.
THE LATE GENERAL FRY
He Was the First Captain of the Old
Sutter Rifles,


Sutter Rifles.
Referring to the recent death of Cen
eral Burkitt d. Fry in Richmond, Va,
the Redwood City Democrat recalled the
fact that deceased was one of the argo-
nauts of California, and in the memorable
year of '49 became a resident of Sacra-
mento. After serving on General Scotts
line through the Mexican war he came to
Sacramento and commenced the practice
of law, In 1850 he was elected Justice
of the Peace in this city, and Colonel e.
L. Eyre, whose elegant home is at Menlo
Park, in San Mateo County, was the Con-
stable of his court. General Fry organiz-
ed the famous military company in this
city, known as the Sutter Rifles. He
was its first Captain, and eX-Mayor John
q. Brown, now Secretary of the State
Board of Trade, was Lieutenant and Col
onel Eyre Corporal
General Fry left this State in 1855 and
joined Walker in his expedition to Costa
Rica. Frank Mahan, son-in-la law of Mrs.
Sweeney, and who was bookkeeper to
State Printer Ayers. was one of his COM
rades in that expedition. After the col
lapse of'Walker's plans in Central Amer
lea, both General Fry and Mr.. Mahan
returned to California.
In 1859 General Fry returned to the At
lantic side, and at the breaking out of the
civil war he was q resident of the State
of Alabama, and at once joined the armies
of the Confederaey. At the battle of
Gettysburg he commanded brigade in
General Pickett's famous division, and
was in the charge made by Pickett which
decided the day in that great battle He
fell, desperately wounded, in the van of
those who wore the gray. A few yards
from where he fell General w. S. Han
cock of the Federal Army was also
wounded. General Fry was a .classmate
of General Hancock at West Point, and
on learning who the Confederate General
was Hancock sent his surgeon to attend
the wounded soldier
Many pioneer Californians heard with
regret of the death of General Fry. He
was brave, frank, generous and genial
man of far more than ordinary ability,
having distinguished himself in the fields
of law and literature, as well as in war.

kilograms were received in this city
yesterday by prominent Italians from
their countrymen i'll New York, making
inquiry as to the condition of public SEN
timent here, both among Italians and
Americans, regarding the New Orleans
affair of Saturday.
A reply was forwarded to the effect that
the Italian population, while condemning
mob violence, did not look with favor
upon the suggestion of appealing to the
King of Italy for redress. They felt that
the Government could be relied upon to
do whatever would be right and just
under the circumstances.
1t cannot be denied, however, that the
Italian element was considerably agitated
over the account of the affair at New
Orleans, SO fully described in the

The death of "Yank" Clements at Lake

for telling the biggest stories OF anyone
residing in that Yicinity-which is q
guarantee that he was No. yarn-spin-
ner. Summer tourists will miss his
stories, especially his account of the big
snow-storm at the lake year ago. In
telling of this he solemnly assured his
listeners that it was the biggest snow
storm that ever occurred, for it showed
an inch a minute for forty-eight bours
and that he measured the snow after,
