BRIEF NOTES

Big Murphy, a well-known character
IN this section of the State, died suddenly
at Willows on Monday.
1t was warm enough yesterday to turn
every body's attention to the delights of
the swimming baths, and large numbers
ayailed themselves of the privilege of a
delightful plunge.
George Irvine has gone to Mexico under
engagement by the Sacramento and Mex
lean Mining Company, which is now de-
Yeloplng several promising silver bear
ing lodges there.
The horse attached to one of Mobr &,
1oerk, s delivery wagons ran away late
yesterday afternoon. 4 young man en-
ployed by the firm tried to stop the run
away, but was knocked down and pain
fully injured.
George Higgs has filed petition in the
Superior Court asking for letters of ad-
mlnIstratlon upon the estate of Ann
Higgs, deceased. The property consists
of three lots in this city. Driver d Sims

and He Got It-A Braggart NeatI
Knocked Out.
A young fellow, whose name is not
known, sought industriously to get a
fight out of another youth on Third street,
between j and K, last evening, and was
finally accommodated, but the result was
disastrous to him.
1T appears they were having a dispute
about something and the would be
tighter, who had considerable gin aboard
and carried a hickory cane in his hand,
tried to get the other fellow to 90 down
1hto neighboring alley with him and
have IL out.
The other man, who was well dressed
and of gentlemanly appearance, tried to
talk MS bclligerently inclined companion
OUT OF fight, but the latter wouldn't
nave 1t, and whenever the other at
tempted to move of he would plant HIM
sell I'D his way, shake his fist in the 9TH
err S lace and insist on q fight.
FINALLY he got it. He made a pass at
the peaceable fellow, when the latter let
fly MS left into the fighters face. and the
gore-seeker fell like a log. His victor
trled to raise him up, but he was dead to
the WOrId--completely knocked out.
a crowd began TO gather and the young
man with the powerful left walked qui-
ely away. " hen the would-be fighter
came TO 1t took him some time to realize
what had happened, and then he wanted
TO night anybOdy. He was finally lead
away, with one eve nearly closed.
The unanimous verdict Of those who
Witnessed the brief but decisive scrap
was that the quaTrelsOme fellow got no
more than he deserved, il as much.

CALIFORNIA; OPPORTUNITY.
Chance to Exhibit Dried Fruits, Etc.,
in the East.
An Exposition of Food Products to be
Held In New York City in the
Month of October.

B. NJ. Lelong, Chairman, and E. w.
Maslin, Secretary of the State Horti-
cultural Society, have issued circular
letter to the fruit-growers and fruit
dryers and packers of California, calling
their attention to an excellent opportu-
nifty that will soon be afforded them to
display samples of their products in the
East. In this circular they say:
''The State Horticultural Society. at its
last meeting, decided to make an exhibit
ton of dried fruits, etc., at the Manu-
tacturers, Dealers, and Consumers Food
Exposition, to be held at Madison Square
Garden, New York, which opens in Octo-
Der next.
The objects of the exposition are to
promote the manufacture, sale and con-
sumption of pure food products. to estab-
lish close, cordial and confidential rela-
tons between the manufacturer, dis
tributor and consumer, and to enlighten
and educate the public as to the import
ance of using the best quality Of food It
is not intended to establish a food inspec-
ton, or analysis, but simply to stimulate
the production of higher grades of food
products by appeals to the public, who,
we believe, are judge and jury in such
matters.
Madison Square Garden is the largest
dliSA lldIhSODl6SI STRUCTURE OF Un6 KIND on
the American continent, occupying the
entire block fronting on Madison Square
avenue and in the center of the fashion
able and populous section of New York.
THE advantage TO be derived by an
exhibition of our fruit products is to es-
lablish in the largest consuming market
and distributing center of the continent
the fact of the absolute purity and supe-
riority of California products. The sus-
picion Of adulteration attaches unfortu-
nately to our food products. AduIter-
alton is not practiced in California. but
that fact must become known, and, once
known. the market for all that we may
produce viii be permanently established.
The exposition at Madison Square offers
us this opportunity. 1t is the sheerest
folly not to take advantage Of 1t.
''Those desiring to be represented are
requested at once to let US know what
they wish TO exhibit and in what man
ner put up. The expense to be incurred
viii be the cost of space and care of the
exhibit while on exhibition, which will
be nominal, this expense to be met by
assessment, each exhibitor paying his
pro rata. Freight charges to be paid By
the exhibitor"

NO STATE LAZARETPO
The Doctors Think There is No Press
ing Necessity Therefor.

The Doctors Think There is No Press
ing Necessity Therefor.
A meeting Of the special committee re-
Gently appointed by Mayor Sanderson of
San Francisco to draft bill for the es-
Enlistment Of State Lazaretto was held
at the Grand Hotel in that city on Mon
day. Those present included DR.. w. G..
Cochran of Los Angeles, President of the
State Board of Health; DIR. j. r. Lame of
Sacramento, Secretary; DR.. c. A. Ruggles
OF Stockton, member Of the State Board,
and DIR. Martin Regensberger of the
Board of Health of San Francisco.
The original idea in connection with
the proposed bill was the establishment
OF refuge for lepers, and some of those
present contended that a lazaretto should
be used for this class of unfortunates ex-
clusively, but when it was made mani
fest to the conference that the total
number Of lepers in the State would
probably not exceed thirty or forty, and
that the majority Of these were Chinese.
there was speedily developed a disincli-
nation to ask the Legislature to appropri-
ate any considerable sum for the purpose,
The suggestion was then made that
there might be combined with refuge
for lepers a hospital for incurable con-
sumptlves, on the ground that consump-
IOi was qulte as IIalSLllSSdDle disease
as leprosy, il not more so.
After considerable discussion the idea
OF combination Of these two diseases in
the same hospital was decided to be uude-
sirable, and the whole subject was finally
laid upon the table. In the course of the
discussion, however, great stress was laid
upon the necessity OF educating the peo-
pie up to better sense OF the obligation
OF every consumptive to prevent con
tagion through expectoration and breath
ing, and another point dwelt upon was
the iallacy of the popular idea that
leprosy is the most dangerous of the con-
tagious diseases or that it constitutes a
menace to the general health of Cali
fOrpia

THE ISSUE SETTLED.
Tenth Street to be Paved With Btu
minous Rock.


minous Rock.
Yesterday the matter of the RESPONSE
bility of the Central Electric Railway
Company for the expense of laying a
bituminous rock pavement between it's
tracks on Tenth street, from l. to n, to
conform to the pavement to be laid out
side the rails, was submitted to Judge
Catlin, in accordance with the PROPOSE
ton made by the company TO the City
Trustees.
The company had been assured by its
attorney that, inasmuch as the blocks
mentioned had been previously paved
with cobbles, they were not required bv
law TO lay a new pavement simply be-
cause the property Owners along the
street desired a change.
Judge Catlin, how ever, takes q differ
ent view Of the case, after having investi-
gated the matter, and has Informally de-
ended the point at issue by holding that
the company is required TO make the inn
provement desired.
This settles the matter, and the work
will be done at once. The directors of
the company had preferred to lay ma
cadam pavement between their rails, be-
Eeving that bituminous rock, or asphalt,
is not desirable for the purpose. They
have, however, gracefully accepted Judge
Ialiu's decision, and there now remains
no obstacle 10 the progress of the work.

Shackle Key OF Zinc.
sheriff Stanley discovered yesterday
how the five prisoners escaped from the
Changing Monday evening - that is,
how they managed to get rid of their
shacllles. In the bed of the wagon, in
which the gang was riding when the
break was made, was found on inn
provised key, made of a piece of zinc.
1t was found that this key would unlock
the shackles as well as the KEY held by
the guards.
The escape was well planned. The
men bolted in different directions
simultaneously and completely discon-
certed the guards. l. N. Smith. one of
the guards, emptied his revolver at the
heeing criminals, and thinks he wounded
one of them.

y Heartlcss AIon2ouan's Abuse of a
Crippled Horse.
Yesterday Chinese peddler was seen
by Mayor Comstock and others driving
through the streets badly-crippIed
horse, and the Mayor called the attention
of f. NJ. Woodson, an officer Of the
Humane Society, to the matter.
Woodson and Officer Shook found the
Chinaman and his suffering beast. and
arrested the fellow. The horse had some
time ago lost hoof, and was hobbling
along ON the partially exposed stump of
the fetlock, which must have caused the
poor beast unspeakable pain. He was
otherwise crippled, and fit ouly for the
boneyard.
The Chinaman consented to the officer S
proposition to kill the suffering creature,
which could never be cured, and to pay
for having it hauled away, in considera-
ton OF his own release.
The horse was then shot by officer
Shook and carted away.
