DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL.
They Nominate Candidates for School
Officers and FreehoIders.
The Nomination of City superintendent
Left to a Committee of Seven-A
Harmonious Gathering.

There was fair attendance of Demo-
Gratis at the convention held last evening
at the Courthouse for the purpose of nom-
City Superintendent of Schools and Char
ter Freeholders.
1t was not like one of the old-time
Democratic conventions, which were so
prolific of billingsgate and knock-downs,
but was quiet, orderly and gentlemanly
assemblage of citizens, who seemed to
have had their minds made up before
they got there as to just what they wanted
to do.
There were few of the old warehouses
present, but they did not sniff any battles
afar off, nor stamp their feet, nor snort.
In short, the convention had all the
symptoms of Republicanism-but it was
strictly and truly Democratic.
PRELIMINARY WORK.
J. w. Hughes was chosen Chairman,
and j. NJ. Sullivan Secretary.
After a few remarks by the chair, Matt
F. Johnson moved that committee of
five be appointed on Permanent Organi-
cation and Order of Business, Carried
The chair appointed II. B. Nielsen,
Gerald keegan, Joseph Hahn, r.. d.
stephens and l.. Nicolaus, Jr.
The committee, in its report, recon-
mended that the temporary officers be
declared the permanent officers of the
convention, and the report was adopted
NOMINEES FOR SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
The following nominations were made

ent: j. NJ. Morrison, J. NJ. Sullivan, r.
ID. Singleton, Joseph Hahn, r. d.
stephens, II. j. Kilgaritf and J. F.
Devine.
CHARTER FREEHOLDERS.
The convention deemed it inadvisable
to make nominations for Freeholders to
frame charter, outside of those named
by the City Trustees. Therefore the list
as suggested by the latter body on Mon
day last was adopted.
The convention then adjourned.

Herbert Otis Tozer Falls a Victim tc
the Deadly Fever.

Herbert Otis ToZer Falls a Victim to
the Deadly Fever.
One of the best known citizens and
business men of Sacramento, Llewellyn
Tozer, received last night the prostrating
news that carries with it grief only a
parent can fully and wholly sympathize
with. 1t was dispatch conveying the
briet, sad story of the death of his son,
Herbert Otis Tozer, aged 20 years and 9
months.
The young man, so full of promise, so
lately buoyant and strong, so hopeful
and eagar as he was Springing into fine
manhood, was born and raised in Sacra-
mento. lie was member of our public
schools and was known throughout the
city and admired for his manly DISPOSE
tlon, his warmly atfectionate nature,
his cleanly life and his bright intellect.
NO one had word of reproach for Her
bert IoZer: on the contrary, he was locke
upon, with his refined tastes and intel
lectual leaning and manly bearing, as
among the most promising youths from
whose ranks, when maturity ripens
promise, are to be picked the men upon
whom burdens and responsibilities are
to be placed with perfect trust.
Herbert left Sacramento over q year
ago to pursue his education at Phillips
Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hamp-
shire. He returned last summer after a
very successful year of study and spent
his vacation with his father and mother
in this city. Late in August he returned
to the East to resume his place in the
academy. His purpose was to win his
graduation at the close of 1892, and then
enter an Eastern medical college to study
for the medical profession.
Four weeks ago yesterday he was taken
sick, and the news was sent in few
days to his parents that he was stricken
with typhoid fever. His mother left for
Exeter three weeks ago and he was
under her tender, loving care during the
last two weeks Of his sickness. He died
early last evening.
1t will be so sad a journey for that
stricken mother when she brings her
boys body back across the continent to
Sacramento that only those who have
walked in the shadow of death can real
ize all it means. In their deep affliction
Mr.. and Mrs. ToZer have the sympathy
OF the community and the condolences OF
a large circle of immediate friends.

MR.. CAREY'S ROADS.

They Are Not Yet Sold. But Negotfa-
tions are Pending.
R. S. Carey stated to UNION
reporter last evening that he had not sold
his street-car lines, as reported. He said.
however, that he had been negotiating
for some time with parties representing
Eastern capital, and had given them his
terms, but no trade had as yet been con-
summated.
81 don't like the idea,' he said, ''of
parting with my street-car property. /
took hold Of it when it amounted to moth
ing and have built it up into good busi-
ness. l have worked hard to make it a
desirable and lucrative property. and it
goes against the grain to think of letting
go of it.
IF | were to consult my own feelings
in the NATTER" he continued, 81 wouldn't
sell it, but my family and friends have
been at me so long and so persistently to
consent to its sale that l have lately
promised them [ would do so.
You see, I'm getting along in years,
and Its my nature to give my personal
attention and supervision to any busi-
ness | may be engaged in. l realize that
have worked to hard Of late years, and
l suppose L would keep on doing so if l
were to continue in the business.''
III case you should sell out, Mr..
Carey, would you retain an interest in
the property?" asked the reporter.
Well" he replied, 1.-The parties with
whom Pm negotiating, and to whom l
expect to sell, have asked me if 1 would
retain a considerable interest in the
roads, and l told them would. They
are strangers here, and would like to
have the benefit of my knowledge of
things in Sacramento
tfIh9t interest fhan would ri
sufficient to do, would it not, to keep you
busy?"
"Oh, yes; but have other large inter-
ests, and they are widely scattered. I
tell you its hard work to look after sew
eral ranches and keep them running prop
erly, there are so many men to watch and
so much to do. 1t is this fact, together
with regard for my health, that has at
last induced me to consent TO part with
my street railways
IF you sell, then, it will probably be
to these Eastern parties?''
'Most likely; and if they come to time,
| tell you they will equip these roads in
fine shape. l never beat the devil about
the bush-whatever / do, l do it openly
Mr.. Henry asked me the other day if my
roads were for sale, and told him they
were, but that ] had given my terms to
other parties, and there was little doubt
that the negotiations would result in a
trade"

USE OF THE BATH
Beneficial Results When Utilized Wit
Judgment

Beneficial Results When Utilized With
Judgment.
No practice, however long established,
has ever been allowed a permanent right
10 respect. Sooner or later its turn will
come to be weighed in the critics bal
ance, and its quality will have to be
proved. Let us quote as q recent illus
tration, the habit of daily bathing, the
utility of which has Of late, though not
for the first time, been seriously aues-
toned.
The reasonableness of doubt in such a
matter, and under ordinary circum-
stances, does not, we confess, commend
Itself to our judgment. Whether the op-
ponents of ablution fear the shock of cold
immersion, or whether they dread the
cleansing stimulation thus applied to the
excretlng skin surface, their objection
must appear to most persons possessed OF
ordinary health and yigor to threaten i'm
pairment of both by fostering uncleanli-
ness. If, on the other hand, it is the too
free application Of heat by Turkish and
other warm baths which appears objec-
tiOnable, we will mot deny that there is
here possible ground for complaint.
Let it not be supposed that we ignore the
curative influence or the cleansing prop
erty of this method when used with
judgment.
1t is true, however, that experience has
often proved the mischievous effect of its
miSuSe-ln cases, for example, of cardiac
weakness or general exhaustion. Cold
bathing in like manner is not without its
occasional risks. 1t is not suitable for
persons enfeebled from any organic cause,
though mere nervous languor is often
braced and benefited by it. It has no
| proper places among the habits of those
who are subject to chronic visceral con-
gestions. AS regards one advantage de-
rived from bathing-i. e., its cleansing
property-there is no reasonable ground
for difference of opinion. Less practiced
! by one people than another though it NAV
be, there still is commonly recognizable
a constant habit of ablution, and this in
itself attests at least an almost universal
| belief in the necessity of washing Nor
can we find reason to doubt the general
soundnesS of this belief
In bathing temperature is, of course, a
chief consideration. For the robust, cold
immersion followed by rapid friction is a
valuable tonic of nerve, skin and heart
function. For less vigorous constitu-
tions-those, for example. which have
been tried by disease and those of young
children-the addition of heat up to the
temperate point is only judicious. With
some persons a warm bath is daily lux
ury. Notwithstanding its efficacy as a
means of cleanliness, however, this Gus
tom ought to be discredited by its newt
able action as nervous depressant,
which places it in an unfavorable posi-
ton compared with the more bracinp
practice of cold affusion. The benefit de-
rived from bathing, therefore, is likely to
assert itself in spite of all adverse criti-
cism, and its mismanagement. which is
only too common, should not be suffered
to condemn it in the eyes of any judicious
and cleanly person.-London Lancet.

THE DISASTER in FRANCE.

Failure to Explain the Responsibility
for the COlltsion-Seven More Deaths
Two Men Arrested.
PARIS, July 2S.-Interest in the Saint
Mande railroad accident is increased by the
fact that the official inquiry has SO far
failed to establish clearly the real cause of
the collision, which is attributed in turn
to revenge, malice, carelessness and incom-
petence. To the outside observer the &C
cident would seem to be due to very great
extent to carelessness. In any case, the
action of the fremen in drowning the peo-
pie who were imprisoned beneath the
wreck is severely condemned.
Seven additional victims of the collision
died last night, making a total of fifty
dead accounted for. The state of some of
the remains found makes it probable that
in some cases the heaps of cinders collected
may be those of two people which have
been counted as one.
The funeral of the victims is to take
place tomorrow. The interment will be
in the cemetery of Saint Mande, and will
be conducted at the expense of the Com
mune.

Lord Oscar Holden of England, a
Guest at Boston Hotel, Mysteri-
ously Dtsappears-No Clue TO His
whcreabouts-Saidt to be Subject 10
Fits of Melancholy.
Boston, July 2s.-on Tuesday, July 81,
there came to Hotel Thorndike In this city
Lord Oscar Holden of England, accom-
panied by his sister, who, although regis
tering as from New York, is known to
have been in this country but short time.
The next day the couple went to Magnolia
to pass the summer, and on the following
Sunday Lord Holden mysteriously disap-
peared from the hotel where he had been
stopping. Since that time his sister has
seen nothing of him. 1t is learned, how
ever, that on last Sunday he made his ap-
pearance at the Thorndike, where he
remained but few hours, but
during which time he borrowed
sum of money from the proprietor
who knew nothing at that time that he
was being sought by his sister. He left
his magnificent gold watch as security for
the loan, and disappeared from the hotel
as unceremoniously as he had come. Since
that time no trace of him has been found.
Detectives have been employed to search
for him, but so far their efforts to find
him have been futile. 1t is said by his
sister that he has been subject to fits of
melancholy, and at times has acted
strangely. There is no known reason for
his sudden departure. He is reported to
be very wealthy and his name is said to
appear upon the peerage list of England.
