DRY AND COLD.

The Mercury Drops Down to Twenty
Six Degrees-A High Barometer.
The Weather Bureaus reports show
yesterday to have been the coolest day
since the 18th of January, 1888, when the
lowest was %, as against go yesterday
morning, and the coolest morning in De-
cember since 1878 and 1888, the lowest be-
ing "a in both years, while thus far this
year the mercury has not gone below $50.
The temperatures at a. NJ. and p. NJ.
yesterday were 30o and 40, while the
highest and lowest were but 45o and 260,
with gentle and variable winds and a
nearly cloudless sky.
The barometrical readings at 5 A. NJ.
and p. NJ. were 30.3S and 30.53 inches,
which indicates continuation of the
cold wave, unless it takes a sudden and
rapid fall, and in that case cloudy and
milder weather would prevail Such an
extremely high condition OF the barome-
ter is usually followed by an extremely
low one.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year yesterday were 400 and $50, and
one year ago to-day 420 and 80, with fogs
and cloudy weather prevailing.

.JaiIer White Makes Few Remarks.
EDS. RECORD UNION: see by several
articles written by Mr.. Goodell, who has
charge of the repairing which is being
done on the old City Hall building. that
lie directs great many of his remarks at
myself and what have said about the
old building. He seems to consider my
judgment very poor, and my knowledge
very limited. While l am free to confess
cannot see very far into brick wall-not
Tar enough to see rotten timbers that have
heen Undecided therein for SO long a
period that when removed they were
found to have become nothing but dry
CuSt-StI1 / do think my vision suf-
t.ciently strong to be able to penetrate
masonry equally as deep as Mr.. GoodelPs
eyes are capable of doing.
Mr.. Goodell says he is not writing for
his own glory, but in the interest of the
city of Sacramento. We will observe a
few things and see what his interest in
the dear poopIe'' is, He was employed
with Mr.. McCaffrey to examine the old
City Hall, and to report its condition to
the City Trustees. A few remarks which
Fir. GoOdell has made to me in the pre-
Sence Of witnesses prove conclusively, to
my mind, at least, that he is working and
writing more in the interests of Mr..
Goodell than of the city of Sacramento.
He claims that the stay-rod, or hog
chain, which ne has been writing so
much about, is OF no use in supporting
the wall; but he receives pay from the
city for fixing the wall that was broken
by the pressure of the washer at one end
OF the rod.
lie also claims that the pressure of the
immense water-tank on the top of the
building is not on the outside walls, but
he receives pay from the city for remoV-
ing these rotten and mashed sills and re-
placing them with new timbers.
He also has had a small abutment built
under the southeast corner of the build
ing, as the walls were cracked both ways
from the corner, and it looked like the
corner might, in the near future, fall out.
But it would appear that he had this work
cone without proper knowledge of the
condition OF the walls, as that particular
corner is nearer plumb than any other
place in the front wall, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is % inches out of plumb.
l will give an accurate statement of how
the front wall of the building stands. as
regards being plumb.
Commencing at the southeast corner
Che one referred to above as being re-
paired), these plumbings, eight in num-
Der, were made at about equal distance
from each other, and extend the full
length of the front wall, which leans to-
ward the south:
Southeast corner-25 inches.
Second plumbing AZ inches.
Third plumbing-6 lilo inches.

A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE
That Which Greeted Michael Meagher
Yesterday Morning.

4n2U w HIGH tJFccUeO hlcnael -h6a2hGr
Yesterday Morning.
Michael III. Meagher, the dairyman,
who resides at Eighteenth and E streets,
was the victim of decidedly mean trick
that was played on him about clock
yesterday morning.
At about that hour surprise party
visited his mansion. The party was a
small, bat select one, and either came in
wagon Of goodly dimensions or as a
wheelbarrow brigade. They did not
bring Michael anything for his Christmas
dlnner-indeed, they apparently were
foraging for a dinner themselves.
Meagher is a pretty good liver, in a
in the basement of his residence. He had
thirty-pound keg of butter there,
canned goods galore and a big store OF
well-selected groceries and provisions.
de also had couple of live" bulldogs
there, and these were about all he had left
when he went into his cellar yesterday
morning to select an armfuI of good
things for his Christmas dinner.
The other articles-those that Were eat
able and drinkable-had vanished, as the
dew Disappeared before the ardent sum-
mer sun. II the bulldogs had been eat
able they, too, would probably have dis
appeared.
That was the kind of Christmas sur
prise that fell to the lot of Michael
Meagher yesterday, and it's complete sue
cess has been a mystery to him ever
since. He counted on those bulldogs being
game" They have-or We're supposed
to have-in their veins the bluest Of bull
dog blood, and were ranked among the
canine four hundred. How it happened
that they stood calmly by and permitted
the foragers to pack off all the good things
haIOnOlnCy n Ia
the latter cannot understand.
The supposition is that among the Wis
itors was someone gifted with hypnotic
power over the canine race.

POOR PROSPECT FOR BASEBALL.

POOR PROSPECT FOR BASEBALL
The League Directors Evidently Want
to Freeze Out This City.
a well-known business man of this
city recently wrote to President None, of
the California Baseball League, inform
ing him that if the directors would insure
Sacramento a better arranged schedule
next year syndicate of business men
would buy the local franchise and en-
gage a fine team to represent this city in
the league next year.
Mone's reply was rather brief He
said he, for one, did not see how the Sac
ramento people could be given a schedule
that would be any better than last years,
and he was in favor of making the man
agement Of the Capital City team put up
forfeit Of $500 before the club is adj
mitted, as guarantee that the team
will not be abandoned before the season
closes.
# this is the way the other directors
feel, then it would be better for Sacra-
mento TO keep out of the league alto
gether. The season just passed demon
strated how the badly arranged schedule
smothered all interest in baseball here,
and it would not be paying investment
for anyone to take hold of a team again
under similar conditions.

to view, ''and him ten-dolla so big, twice
'em much.n
Yes, yes, John. that's all right, but
him paper bill different" and Gardiner
continued with an address on the COM
parative value of United States bills,
when the Chinaman broke in with:
on see him five-dolla paper monee,
he so big; one-hunda-dolla paper money
him only so big, too. MOI nor' ex-
claimed John, as he handed back the roll,
"me want 'em gold'' and Gardiner was
obliged to come to town and exchange his
hundred-dollar bills for gold.
And now he never offers a Chinaman

Ihe WHY Ch1neSe Preter to Do Bust
ness on a Gold Standard.
The Chinese seldom handle greenbacks.
and are always suspicious when one is
rendered in payment of an obligation.
This fact was recently illustrated down
the river, when Frank III. Gardiner
brought UP from San Francisco six one
hundred-dollar bills with which to paw
the boss Chinaman of the levee builders
at Tolands, as told by the Rio Vista
Ne7rs. Upon encountering the Mon
golian, Mr.. Gardiner pulled out his roll
of bills and counted off the right amount
and handed them to the heather.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.

F. NJ. Bonny was in the city yesterday.
He came from Grand junction, Colo, his
present home, to see his little 3-year-old
twin girl, whom his late wife had left with
the sisters at st. Francis hospital Mr.. B..
says he had been sending Mrs. B. money
mp till last month, all in ignorance that
she had obtained a divorce from him. In
fact he showed letters written up till last
month. He seemed utterly astonished
that she should have alleged in her bill of
complaint that he bad physically harmed
her. She had left the other twin at some
point in Iowa. He does not know of her
present whereabouts although the furni-
ture was shipped to Omaha. The court in
formed him that the divorce could not
stand under the misrepresentation by
which it was obtained. It will be remem-
bered that the EAGLE stated that she had
married really before the assurance of the
decree of divorce was over, which there
was quite a huDbub ar the time raised by
the man in the case whose name is not re-
membered. Mr.. B. says that he himself is
doing well Mt Grand Junction and that be-
fore he learned of the divorce had sent his
supposed wife railway transportation to
come on to him. He left last evening for
his new home apparently pretty badly
used up man. The last he heard from the
late Mrs. Bonny was letter dated New
York City in which she employed many
endearing words to him. 1t would some
time seem that Mr.. Shakespeare, Esq,
was more than half right when he put
into Hamlet's mouth "Frailty, thy name
is woman"
