DIAMOND TALK.
Oakland Embarrassing the League
Bowman In Demand.

The Directors Of the California Baseball
League are beginning to manifest anxiety
regarding the Oakland club, and it is
stated that they fear for the safety of the
league on account Of the almost hopeless
placed in the race.
One thing is certain, and that is that the
nine over which Colonel Robinson for
merly had control must either strengthen
itself and win once in a while, or else it
will be removed from the league. If such
action on the part Of the Directors must
be resorted to, 1t may end in baseball
calamity.
Next Sunday there will be meeting of
the league magnates In San Francisco,
and 1t is said that matters pertaining to
the good OF the association will be dis
cusSed.
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning Mana
ger Ginsberg was aroused from his slum-
bers and handed a dispatch from his
lawyers, Cake u Cake of Portland, Or,
stating that Ward and Hustin would en-
deavor to be released by habeas corpus
proceeding, and suggesting that he Gins
berg swear to complaints in Sacramento
against the men, and have the warrants
telegraphed to Portland. Mr.. Ginsberg
acted on this advice, and swore to COM
plants charging the two ball-tosSers
with concealing money to defraud credit
ors. He states that he will make Ward
and Hustin return him the money they
owe if he has to go to an expense of $500,
and if necessary he will have an officer
sent up to return them to this city in or
der that civil action may be pushed
against them.
Bowman, formerly of the Sacramentos
and who is at present playing with the
Rochester club of New York-is evil
IDENTIFY in demand in the East. The New
York National League club wants to give
Rochester $500 to release him, but the
newspapers Of the latter place suggest
that the manager had better keep him, as
he is one of the few good players in the
team.
If Bowman goes to New York he will
have lots of work trying to catch that
teams corps of erratic twirlers. Ewing,
Clark and other catchers of the club are
almost broken down in their endeavors
to do backstop work.
Stapleton, formerly pitcher of the
Fresno team, has been signed to play
with the Sacramentos. He will do box
work, and is announced TO pitch to-mor-
rows game in San Francisco.

A FATHERS SORROW.
1t Leads Him to Commit Suicide on
His Sons Grave.

HIS SOL - 0raNe.
The facts attending the distressing
death of Frank Walton, near Hicksville,
little over year ago, are still fresh in
the minds of the public. He and his be-
trothed were drowned in a canal by the
roadside one night, while returning to the
latter's home from the Changers reunion
at Elk Grove, in consequence of their
vehicle going off the grade in the dark
ness.
+. w. Walton, father of the unfortu-
nate young man, took his sons death
greatly to heart, and has never ceased to
grieve for him.
Yesterday morning his lifeless body
was found on the young mans grave, in
the Odd Fellows Cemetery near Elk
Grove, with an empty laudanum bottle
by his side, showing that he had COM
nitted suicide.
Deceased partook of supper at the usual
hour on Wednesday evening, which was
the last seen of him alive, and the suppo-
sition is that he went at once to the ceme-
terry and took the poison. He was 20
years of age, and leaves wife and mar
ried daughter. The funeral viii take
place at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

Under the above caption the Dixon
Tribune of May 30th says:
1.-THE mail service between Sacramento
and San Francisco seems TO have fallen

Every day for a year past dozens of COM
plants are heard of letters delayed three
or four days in reaching destination but
twenty or thirty miles from the starting
point. But within the last month, how.
ever, it would seem that the climax of in

years, up to that time, the Sacramento
RECORD UNION has served its Dixon sub
scribers promptly and regularly by the
first train in the morning, but now the
paper rarely reaches itslreaders before 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, arriving on the
same train with its afternoon contempo-
raries, and twelve hours after publication.
Can no influence be brought to bear
which will cause Superintendent Wilder
to either mend his ways or make way for
a more competent and energetic man.
Numerous complaints have reached this
Office lately from subscribers at Dixon
that the REcoRD-UNIoN did not reach
them until late in the day. They were
laid before Postmaster Coleman, and he
has been investigating. He has finally
located the cause of the trouble, and has

Htdalgo Is No More.

John w. Mackey, Superintendent of
the Rancho del Paso, was in the city last
night, and informed RECORD UNION
reporter that Mr.. Haggin had just suffered
a severe loss in the death of his noted
running stallion, Hidalgo.
1t appears that the horse was in a corral
on the upper ranch, and in some way fell
and broke one of his legs. There was no
possible way Of saving him, and he had
to be killed. Hidalgo was one of the
cracks in his day.

A SYMPATHETIC VERDICT.

The verdict of Maryland jury in the
matter OF the sureties of State Treasurer
Archer, who recently turned defaulter for a
large amount, is a curious example of the
the compromise verdict, which is dignifed
in this instance by the adjective "sympa-
thetic." The bondsmen of the Treasurer
undertook to guarantee his fidelity in Office,
were therefore, on the face of the case, liable
Cor the amount of his shortage. But negli-
gence was shown on the part of the State
officials in the supervision of the Treasurer s
accounts; and it was argued that without
this negligence the defalcation could not
have taken place, at least to the amount it
actually reached. The sympathetic nature
of the verdict took a singular phase. The
jury was not sympathetic enough to let the
boudsnen off scott free; but sympathy COM
PEELED them 20 recognize the effect of the
official negligence to the extent of cutting
down the Judgment against them to sec. 900,
or less than half the defalcation.
OF course, such verdict is utterly illogi-
cal. The official negligence must either have
been of sort that absolved the bondsmen
from liability or sort that did not. 1t the
former, the verdic. took $4,000 from them
