LYONS. THE BIGAMIST.
He is Convicted in the Superior Court
of San Joaquin County.

He is Convicted in the Superior Court
of San Joaquin County.
Louis Lyons has been convicted in
Stockton of bigamy, and will probably
have to serve long term in one of the
State Prisons.
The story of Louis Lyons escapades in
this city and in Stockton and of his arrest
for bigamy in the latter city was pub
lished in the RECoRD-U UNION at the time.
Lyons, it will be remembered, called
upon Justice Of the Peace Starr of this
city several weeks ago, accompanied by
a comely young lady named Stella Della
mont, and asked that they be married for
one year by contract. 1t was preposter-
Gus proposition and the Justice very
properly declined to have anything to do
with the matter. The young lady wept.
and finally Lyons agreed to be married
in the. regulation manner-'for keeps.n
The couple then went to Stockton and
nothing more was heard of them until
Lyons was arrested there for attempting
to place his new wife into house Of
prostitution. He was held to answer be-
fore the Superior Court on this charge.
Then it developed that Lyons had an
other wife.
She went to Stockton from San Fran
cisco and faced Lyons in prison. Lyons
pretended that he did not know her, but
it was no use. She was not particularly
anxious to prosecute him for bigamy,
saying that all she wanted was her baby
boy, whom the faithlesS husband had
stolen from her when he left her some
seven months ago. She begged him to
tell her where the child was, but he was
obdurate.
The unhappy mother probably never
would have seen her child again had not
Constable Brissel of this city taken the
matter in hand, and succeeded in finding
the child in an orphan asylum, under a
fictitious name.

Proposed Meeting of the stockton and

The Capital City Wheelmen are at
present booming things IN the wheeling
line. This evening there will be moon
light ride down the river, leaving the
club-rooms at P. NJ.
On the 10Th there will be a run down
the Riverside road, for which all the
bicycle riders of Sacramento are re-
quested to meet at the club-rooms at
$3.50 a. NJ. An informal meeting will be
held at the end of the road, for a general
discussion of matters pertaining to
wheeling.
For some time past there has been con-
siderable talk between the Oak Leaf Club
Wheelmen of Stockton and the Capital
City Wheelmen of holding a union
club run somewhere between Sacra-
mento and Stockton. Arrangements
have finally been made for a grand
club run and watermelon picnic on
the Goth, somewhere in the vicinity of
Lodi
The Oak Leaf Wheelmen will probably
have seventy-five wheels in line, and it is
the object of the boys here TO prevail
upon all the riders in Sacramento to Join
forces and make the picnic big success.
AS the road between here and Gait is
very poor, that part of the trip will be
made by train, leaving the balance of the
trip, about eight miles, to be made over
good roads.

Repaired.

Repaired.
The people of Washington and farmers
owning property along the river south of
that place are petitioning the Supervisors
of Yolo for relief from the floods that will
flow through last winters break in the
levee unless it be repaired. The MaiI of
yesterday says on the subject:
"a committee from the vicinity of
Washington waited on the Board of Su-
peryisors yesterday afternoon, for the
purpose of soliciting aid in repairing the
levee on the Sacramento River at the Far
ris break.
David MCGOWAN urged the claims of
the commitree on the board. The people
having land along the river propose to
form district reaching from a point
about one and one-half miles above
Washington TO point about seven miles
down the river. The Farris break is
about 400 feet in width, and the promoters
OF the district proposition want that re-
paired and the levee raised thirty feet
above low-water mark. The estimated
cost of the work is 8, 600 to s., ,000
1.-THE district feels too poor to under
take the whole cost, but if it can secure
aid from the board propose to take the
levee in hand and maintain it at It's own

HIRED THUGS.
Chinese Highbinders and Loafers Con-

Chinese Highbinders and Loafers Con-
gregGtfng Here,
When known white desperate hangs
about town, with no visible means of
support, he is generally warned to de-
part under pain of being "vagged." Why
would not this be equally as proper a
method of dealing with Chinese toughs
and highbinders
Yesterday several of these hired thugs
came here from San Francisco for the
purpose, it is believed, of killing All
10y, friend of Fong All Dep, who is
taking prominent part in the prosecu-
ton of a would-be Chinese murderer.
The police hearing of their arrival, Off
Ger Wilson searched them for weapons,
but found none OH them. OF course, the
thugs will have their guns whenever they
get ready TO use them.
The question is, why do not the police
run all such characters out Of the city, as
they do Objectionable white men? They
can be prosecuted for vagrancy, if they
refuse to leave.
There are plenty ofloafing Cinnamon
about town who are no ornament to the
city nor to society. Let the highbinders

asking that concerts be held in Capitol

10 the person who caused it to be circu-
lated and request him to present the

states that not only has each member of
the Capitol Commission been seen per

Engineer Lameraux, engine 1873 and
thirteen cars, left the yard for Hartford.
At Newington the first was running at
a moderate speed, about fifteen miles an
hour. The second was going much
faster, probably thirty to thirty five
miles an hour. The conductor of the
rear tram, who was on the engine, the
engineer and fireman all jumped.
The conductor, John Frazer, struck
on his back and shoulders and was very

In the collision two cars loaded with
lumber, and the caboose were totally

Thomas E. Shea's company will open
a weeks stand, at popular prices, at the

tuition says: Thos E. Shea's company
gave a very pleasing performance of
Escaped From Sing Sing" at the Opera
house last evening. The house was
packed from floor to roof, every seat
of standing room was sold. Those
who were down stairs can imagine the
crowded gallery, as there were 742 per-
sons there. The play has undergone a
radical change for the better since last
season, besides the company has been
strengthened, the numerous specialties,
song, dances, etc, which are introduced
in the new scene, were encored to the
echo. Mr. Shea more than duplicated
his former success in the leading role.
Every passion that sways the human
frame was portrayed with truthfulness
that was really remarkable. He played
several distinct characters and was
equally at home in each. We see very
few actors who possess the capabilities
of Shea, and it is no wonder his visit is
looked forward to with enthusiasm.
