HERE'S BUSINESS" FOR YOU
City Administration Has Made No Effort
toKeep Within the Appropriations.
More Money to Be Observation-Disclosures the
Councils Power to Limit Expenses
Other Municipal Affairs.

The information now comes along that
the city government IS in a bad way
for money, and that in a short time the
Board of Public Works will ask the Conn.
Gil for an additional appropriation of S22.-
600. of which $1,000 is for public light and
$1,000 for water. Notwith standing this
dearth of funds, the board the other day
illegally created the Office of inspector of
street sprinkling and swee ping at q salary
OF 500 O month.
The rest of the $50, 900 is said to be for
the engineers department and for sewer
age. Possibly the appropriation for sew
erage will be to square Mr.. Rudolph Her
ing's account with the city.
The department of public safety is also
in a "hole." and has asked for an appro-
p~riation of ST. 900. and that LOCO be trans
ferred from one fund to an other 80 it Will
be available for expenditure for station
house purposes. This business admins
tration" presents some interesting phases
once In a while.
Yesterday evening a. councilman said to
a Journal reporter: II would like to know
by what right the Board of PUBLIC Works
and other departments exceed their
the tax levy and the appropri-
atoms were cut down accordingly, yet
the Board of Public Works exceeds it's ap-
preparation. and spends money as though it
had an unlimited amount at its command.
If this thing is kept up 1t will completely
nullify the intent of the city charter TO
make the Council q check on the depart
ments. Now | see the Board of Public
Works expects to ask the Council for an
additional appropriation of S22,0 That's
il. They think all they have to do Is to
make q demand on the Council and il will
be granted. 1. for one, am going to see
that this thing stops"

STATE FAIR BUILDINGS.
Some of the Contracts Awarded Last Night
Capacity of Barns to Be Curtailed.

The State Board of Agriculture last even
bids submitted for the buildings to be
erected on the new State fair grounds.
These were to the lowest bidders. and were
as follows:
Woman's building. Ayers & Coz. SIS, 600
Horticultural and horal building. Deal IL

Amphitheater..: IT. j. Morse,.--.--.--. 21.165

ayers x o,0oO
The contracts for administration and
dairy buildings, machinery hall. show and
speed-horse barns. sheep and cattle pens,
grand entrance buildings. ladies' toilet
rooms and gentlemen's closets were not let.
This was for the reason that the board had
decided that 500, 900 would be the limit of
expenditure on buildings this year, and
the bids amounted to q total of SlS2. 407.
An estimate was made hat the contracts
let would take up about $4,000 of the $780,
boo, which would leave s51, 900 to be applied
On horse and cattle pens. buildings, etc.
The board agreed to rurtail the capacity
OF the barns. which. as now designed, are
for six hundred head of horses. The aver
age number OF horses CHARTERED at the
state fair Is three hundred. Enough of
these stables will be Topped oil to bring the
accommodations down TO that capacity. TO
which additions can be made 81 needed.
The board proposes to have q new bid on
the administration building. tho dairy
building. machinery hail. etc. HOrti-
cultural ball will be removed from the old
fair ground to the new, put together again
at al expense of 81. COO, and made o poultry
house for coming exhibitions.
The board Is somewhat annoyed at the
controversy over the employment of uon-
union labor by contractors. but feel thai it
IL their duty to accept the lowest and best
bidder and 60 no further lnto the case, the
labor question being one with which they
can have nothing TO do. The bond of John
Alexander Il Son. of Lafayette, the archi-
tects. who will have supervision of the
erection of the new buildinge, was ap-
proved by the board. The executive COM
mlttee was authorized TO award contracts
so hat il will not be necessary for the
board to come together again for that
purpose.

Some time ago William Niemeyer broke
his buggy while driving over the bridge

and he filed a claim for damages against
the city. alleging that the bridge was de-
~fectlve. The matter was referred to Street
Commissioner Harold for investigation,
and the foreman of the bridge gang re-
ported yesterday that NIemeyer had broken
his buggy In a crack two or three inches
wide and two feet long in the center of the
bridge; that there was o good ten-feet
driveway on either side.
Yesterday Mr.. Niemeyer called to see If
the bill would be paid. The board said it
had no authority TO pay any such claims
and would not do il. NIemeyer had a

How the Wearers Thereof Showed Up
on Yesterday.
Becker, the Bunco Operator, viii be
Examined To-Day-George Cassidy
and Japanese George.

In the Police Court yesterday the
! roundup Of DRINKS was not as large as
usual on Monday. Those that were up,
however, had been very, very drunk,
and were found guilty without a struggle
with evidence.
Mel Ansty, Pete Nichols, John Fitz
patrick and William Jones stood up
dizzily, each received sentence of s.
fine or two and half days in jail,
and then subsidized into semi-sorrowful
reverie.
All Ben, a Chinaman with wheel in
his head" had his character made public
by being charged with vagrancy. Sew
eral witnesses testified that All Ben had
been disturbing the Florence Mission,
and that he had been elected from there
on account of his filthy appearance, but
he refused to stay away.
All Ben made statement wherein he
acknowledged that ne had done no work
in over three years, and had subsisted
by raiding swill-barrels. His case was
taken under advisement by Judge
Cravens.
Niles Eldred was charged with disturb
ing the peace Of G. l.. Christensen. A
number OF witnesses We're examined
and it was shown that dispute had taken
place in regard to the ownership of bug
gy-top, and that Christensen evidently
got ratified, but was not hurt. The case
was dismissed.
Philip Steiner, keeper of saloon at
Seventh and Il streets. was tried for bat
terry, on complaint of John Lang. The
evidence of several witnesses showed
that Lang got very drunk and wanted to
kick the paper off the wall, and otherwise
distinguished himself. Steiner thereupon
threw Lang ''oudtsite" three or four times
until the latter strained or bruised his an
kle. The court thought thel e was no case
against Steiner, and it was ordered dis
missed.
William Becker was arraigned on a
charge OF grand larceny, on complaint Of
l.. q. Keaeding, who claims he was rob
bed of $50 by Becker and a bogus freight
agent, Saturday.
Major Anderson appeared for Becker's
defense, waived pleading and reading
of the complaint, and had the case set for
this afternoon.
George Cassidy, arraigned on a charge
of battery, had his ease set for Wednes-
day.
+. Berkhart, charged with disturb
ance of the peace, had his case set for Sep
tenn Der Sd.
G.. II. Hayes and ". K. Morton, charged
with assault with deadly weapon, had

MODOC WATER CASE.

The Judgment Therein Affirmed by the
Supreme Court.
The decision of the Supreme Court was
fled in Deputy Clerk Goyan's Office yes
terday in the case of Jerome Churchill VS..
ii. Bauman ct al, respondents.
The action was commenced in Modoc
County in April, 1889, to recover IS, 500
from the defendants for the alleged diver
sion of water from a natural stream pine
Creek in Modoc County during the years
1887 and 1888, TO the injury of plaintiff
riparian and appropriated water rights,
below the point Of diversions; and also to
enjoin such diversion, pendente lite, and
upon the hearing perpetually.
Judgment was passed for the defend
ants, and plaintiff appealed from the
judgment roll and without a bill of ex-
ceptions.
After going over the case at great length
the Supreme Court affirms the Judgment
of the lower court, holding in substance
that the plaintiff made himself party to
the act of diverting the stream by MAX
ing no protest; or, in other words, allow
ing dam to be constructed and the water
diverted, having had full notice thereof.
On this ground the judgment was af-
firmed

OLD-ILMR MILLNTONBO.
A Pair Made by General Suffer Back
in the Forties.
The Brighton Mil Abandoned When
Gold Was Eound-One of the Stones
VIII be Seen at tho Fair.

Writing of early times at Brighton"
said Charles Petit yesterday, recalls a
matter that might be of interest to the
historical society just at the present time.
When settled in Brighton in 1850 1
found there large open ditch about
twelve feet wide and from four to six feet
in depth. which extended from a point on
the American River four miles above TO
the town of Brighton, where it ran into
the river. On inquiring for what pur-
pose 1t was dug l learned that General
Suffer had constructed it to furnish water
power for Touring mill which he was
erecting on the bank of the river near the
mouth Of the ditch at the time Of the dis
covery of gold in this country.
II was also told that on the discovery
Of gold all business of that nature was
stopped, and the building which had
been intended for the mill had been
pulled down and carted to this city and
erected on Front street, between | and j.;
and | have often wandered, when passing
along that street, If that old frame build
ing where the open restaurant near
street had been kept for SO many years
was not the old mill building.
But what WISH more particularly to
say is that there were two miilstones
made out Of Folsom granite, no doubt,
that lay on the bank of the river where
the mill was said 10 have been taken from.
They lay there all the time | lived in
Brighton. l have seen them a hundred
times and examined them often. Each
was about four feet across the face They
were ready to be placed in a mill, except
that they were not furrowed. l thought
perhaps the General expected to,use them
without burrows.
1T has occurred to me that if these old
millstones could be found they would be
valuable addition TO our State Fair this
fall. They may have tumbled in the
river or been carted Oft by some rancher
for doorsteps."
One OF the stones referred to by Mr..
Petit is already in the possession of the
Historical Display Committee. 1t had
been used Tor many years by a resident
IN the eastern part OF the city as a we'll
curb, and is considerably worn from hav-
ing been stepped upon by persons while
drawing water from the we'll

FRUIT For LONDON

The Second Shipment Now Due There
The Fourth Goes Tonight.
The second consignment of fresh fruit
for London, which left this city two
weeks ago tonight, will be due in Lon
don tomorrow morning, and better
prices are looked for than were obtained
for the first shipment, as the Londoners
have had an opportunity to test the good
quality of the fruit.
The third of the special London fruit
trains, which left Sacramento a week ago
last night, arrived in New York yester-
day, and the fruit will leave there to-day
by steamer for London.
The fourth train will be started from
here tonight by the California Fruit
transportation Company. This train
will be loaded entirely by A. T. Hatch of
Sulsun, and will consist chiefly of pears.
In Agent AppePs opinion the most
important thing TO be considered just
now IS the matter of the condition in
which the fruit reaches its destination
II all the shipments should be as success
ful IN this respect as the first, there is no
doubt that good paying prices viii be
realized in short time. The people of
London will soon learn by experience
that refrigerated fruits are just as good as
any other.

KILLING YOUNG DUCKS.
a Matter to Which the Gun Climbs
Should Give Attention.

a Matter to Which the Gun Climbs
Should Give Attention.
The sportsmen Of this vicinity should
hold meeting and devise ways and
means for the arrest and prosecution of
certain laWless rascals who make bust
ness Of Staying the young ducks on their
breeding grounds.
For weeks past one of these law-evad-
ing creatures has had camp in the
willows at Ten-mile Lake. where he has
been killing young mallard and teal by
the wholesale, with which he sneaks into
the city, where they bring good prices.
The only Constable who has shown
any inclination to bring game-destroyers
to justice is j. 2. Brissel. and he de-
clared yesterday to RECORD UNION re-
porter that he intended doing all in his
power to put stop to the nefarious
business and punish the offenders.
Learning of the operations Of the bush
Whacker referred to, Brissel on Sunday
visited Ien-mlle Lake, but-although he
found plenty of indications that Young
ducks had been killed there-he was UNI
able to locate the camp in the Jungle that
surrounds the lake. Brissel will make
another trip to the place with q guide.
and thinks he viii be able to catch the
duck-murderer.
II IS realIy Ine UuIy OF the Constable in
the township in which the law is being
violated to look after the offender. but he
does not do it, hence sportsmen who hone
to enjoy duck shooting after the lst of
October should get together and decide
upon some plan for assisting Constable
Brissel in his good work.
If the creatures who have in past sea-
sons made business Of Staying Young
ducks during the close season can be
driven from the field, there will be good
shooting for all law-abiding sportsmen
ana market hunters at the proper time.
There are four organized shooting
clubs in this city, all formed to promote
game protection, and it is about time
their members were doing something as
game destruction is said to be going on in

He Runs Away and Safely Crosses
Railroad TrestIes.
A horse attached to cart belonging to
Jack Hudson broke the record as a run
away yesterday, and also fractured the
cart considerably.
About 3 o'clock the animal started at
Second and r steeets and ran up the
R-street railroad TO Twenty-sixth street
at his most frantic gait. En- route he
crossed two railroad trestles, and took
most of the cart with him to his final
stop.
Special officer Dole, who saw the horse
cross the Sixth-street trestle, says he per-
formed a remarkable feat, going over
about twenty yards OF trestle safely.
He kept the railroad track, fortunately,
without telescoping a train, until Twen-
ty-sixth street was reached, and there
he fell in such a way as TO break the
shafts and get free from the cart.
Beyond a few scratches, the horse was
not injured,

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

A Condition That Some of the Party
Do Not Desire.
It is said that some Democrats who on
pose the regular" element of the party
are hostile to any compromise, and have
endeavored to have those of their nomi-
nees who are also on the regular tickle
withdraw from the latter.
Candidates for Office, however, are ant
to take a more conservative view of the
situation than others, as they are out fol
votes, and few if any of them evince any
desire to kick because they have been
nominated by both elements of their
party. They say they did not ask the
regulars to nominate them, and therefore
have nothing to refuse.
