OLD-TIME EVENTS.
Early California History Wanted for
the State Library
The Trustees Authorize tie Purchase
of the Coloma "Ar2uS''-Other
Business Transacted.

The Trustees of the State Library held
their regular monthly meeting yesterday
afternoon, at which President r. d.
Stephens, and Trustees w. S. Green and
Fleet f. Strother were present.
The Librarian reported S8,313 Is on
hand in the library fund
a list of books, including some 200 vol
umes of standard works, amounting to
S52l 50, was recommended by the Libra
riar, and ordered purchased by the board.
With view to strengthening the de-
partment of United States History, Sc
lected list of 267 volumes, for the most
part relating to the history of the Civil
War, assubmitted, and the Libraria n
authorized to purchase the same.
The Trustees expressed themselves as
being of the opinion that the general de-
partment should be made especially
strong in United States and local history.
and with that end in view the Librarian
was directed to correspond with several
parties having collections of books on
California.
In response to an inquiry, the Attor-
ney-General submitted an opinion to the
effect that the Board of Trustees has the
authority to sell, or otherwise dispose of
| the duplicate copies of California statutes
and Supreme Court reports now in the IL
brary.
The Librarian was authorized to pur-
chase file of the Empire County ATqps.
published at Coloma during the years
1856. The copy which has been offered
to the library is said to be the only one in
existence.
Former Secretaries of State having
omitted to send the Appendices to the
Legislative Journals to the various State
Libraries, and the present Secretary not
having sufficient funds at his disposal to
meet the expense of transportation, the
Librarian was authorized to send to each
State Library in the country the volumes
necessary to complete its set of California
documents, and to pay the expense of
transportation from the library fund.
Bills to the amount of 81, AL 30 were
audited and allowed.
The day of meeting was changed from
| the first Saturday after the first day of
! the month to the first Wednesday of each
month.
A number of propositions for the pur-
chase and exchange of duplicates were
received and accepted
The Librarian reported the index to the
Supreme Court Records, covering all
cases remitted prior to January l, 1892, as
being almost ready for the printer, and
the supplement to the catalogue of the
law department in preparation.
The board adjourned to meet March I'd.

FOUR DECISIONS.
Cases Finally Determined by the Su-
preme Court.
Two Were Appealed From Sacra-
mento, and L. c. Chandler Loses
Both-The Other Cases.

-Four Supreme Court opinions-the first
batch received in this city for over six
weeks-were filed yesterday by Deputy
Clerk Govan. Among them were two
Sacramento cases, in both of which L. c.
Chandler is interested.
In the case of T. A. EbeI and J. II.
Stehr respondents VS.. l.. C. Chandler
(appellant). the judgment of the lower
court is affirmed. The action was brought
to recover S2,914 for money alleged to
have been laid out and expended by Ebel
and Stehr for Chandler, at the latter's
special request, and which he promised
to pay to the plaintiffs. A demurrer was
interposed to the complaint, which was
overru!ed, and therefore the defendant
entered general denial. The plaintiffs
got judgment. and Chandler appealed the
case.
The Supreme Court affirms the judg-
ment and the order denying new trial.
SIMILAR CASE.
benjamin Lovejoy VS. l.. G. Chandler
(appellant). This case and the preceding
one were tried together and the testi-
mony, decision and transcript, except as
to the amount Of the judgment, were the
same. Inc suit was Tor S3, ,49S and inter-
est, amounting to $3.50 26, for money ex-
pended by Lovejoy at Chambers request,
and which he promised to repay the
plaintiff.
The Supreme Court says that the find
ing OF the lower court, "that there was
not, at the time Of the commencement of
TINS action. another action pending or un-
determined in this court between the
same parties for the same cause of action
as stated in the plaintiffs complaint
herein" is sustained by the evidence.
The Judgment is affirmed
TEHAMA WATER CASE.
George A. Crooker VS.. Thomas II, Ben
ton (appellant). This was an action com
menced in Tehama County to determine
the right to one-third of the water flowing
IN certain ditch. Crooler claimed the
water as appurtenant TO a certain tract of
land purchased by him from one ID. G.
Miller. Benton claimed to have pur-
chased from Miller his interest in the
ditch after Miller had conveyed the land
to Crooker.
The Supreme Court affirms the judg-
ment of the Superior Court.
THE LABoRER GETS HIS WAGES.
ID. S. Cohn VS.. ID. Brownstone (appel-
lant). This was an action commenced in
Tulare County for work and labor. in
which Brownstone denies his indebted
ness to Cohn without denying the services
alleged, and pleads a counter claim.
Judgment was rendered in favor of Cohn
for $500 and the defendant appealed.
The Judgment of the lower. court is
affirmed.

RIDING THE GOAT.
The Chosen Friends Expose the Mys-
teries of Initiation.
An Insight Into What Keeps Lodge
Men Out Late-A Highly Anus
ing Entertainment.

Sacramento Council of the Order of
/ Chosen Friends gave novel and highly
amusing entertainment at Foresters' Hall
! last evening.
The entertainment consisted of an ''ini-
tiatory expose" or, more properly, a
burlesque on the ceremonies of initiating
a new member into the order. The
Grand Mogul' and his assistants took
| their proper places about the hall, dis
gulsed in various ludicrous costumes,
and bade the audience give attention.
The presiding Mogul opened the proceed
lngs IN facetious way, saying that va
rlouS members wives and sisters had
been complaining Of the late hours kept
| by the said members, and had expressed
the opinion openly that lodge business
alone did not keep the gentlemen out-a
! grave lnsinuation. The lodge had, there
/ lore, decided to throw aside all secrecy
! and show these wives and sisters that the
! business 1t had to transact was sufficient
| TO send any and all members home in an
| unsteady condition.
The applicant for mem bership was one
! Patrick OHOolihan, and the course of
| sprouts that the burlesquers put him
| through kept the audience convulsed
| with laughter. He was warned that. in
/ order to be eligible, he must promise to
/ drink nothing stronger than whisky: that
! before attending lodge meetings he must
/ eat heartily Of onions and garlic: that he
! must always lie abed in the morning and
! let his wife light the fire; that he must
never mind the babies while his wife goes
to church,; that he must never use tobac-
| co III any form, except to smoke or chew
1t, and various other precautions of the
kind.
Then the Grand High Surgeon meas
ured the victim for his coffin, in case he
did not survive the ordeal he was about
| to be subjected to.
After the applicant had been taken to
! the ante-room to recuperate. he was re-
produced and introduced into the terrible
! subterranean passage. This was nothing
/ less than a couple of barrels througR
! which he was forced to crawl, and as soon
as he reached the second one another was
placed in front of him.
The unfortunate was cOmpelIed next to
climb CREASED pole, and then the 'sRoyal
| Bengal Buster" was brought forth. This
was the goat O'Hoolihan rode il, to the
| delight of the audience, and he was CON
graduated by the Moguls for his plucI1
| and endurance. After this he was de-
! clared full-fledged member, and at lib
erty to take hand at sprouting the next
applicant.
The arrangements We're carried ont i'm
detail, and those participating deserve
| praise for their acting.
Alter the entertainment was over. the
! floor was cleared and dancing inaugu-
rated. There was a very large attend
ance.

CLOSED STREETS.
An Attempt to Have the Todd Ranch
Divided Into Blocks.
The Legality of an Ordinance Passed
by the Trustees is Attacked
in the Superior Court.

The suit of the People ex rel. T. G.
by Superior Judge Catlin yesterday.
The object of the suit is to compel the
opening of some alleged streets-C, D, E
and +, Twenty-sixth to Thirtieth
streets-and Churchman in addition sues
for $1,000 damages, setting forth that the
streets in their closed condition are q
nuisance. The City Trustees passed an
ordinance some time ago closing these
alleged streets.
Deputy Attorney General LAWSON ap-
peared in court yesterday and moved that
the suit be dismissed, on the strength OF
this resolution of the Trustees, which, he
claimed, settled the dispute.
But the attorneys for Churchman,
Messrs. Holl d Dunn, objected to the
dismissal, and based their objection on
the alleged fact that the ordinance Of the
Trustees had not been legally passed.
Judge Catlin denied the motion to dis
miss and bade the PLAINTIFFS attorneys to
proceed to prove the legality Of the ordi-
nance.
The point of the attorneys for the
plaintiff was that the ordinance became
invalid at the start, for the reason that it
had not been advertised before passage as
often as the law demanded it should.
They then summoned V. S. McClatchy,
one of the publishers of the Bee, and en-
deavored to prove by him that the ordi-
nance had not been published the re-
quired three weeks. Mr.. McClatchy tes-
titled that the ordinance had been pub
lished eighteen days-three weeks with
out including Sundays, on which day his
paper does not appear.
Churchman'S attorneys then set up the
claim that the eighteen DAYS referred to
did not constitute three weeks. The or
dinance was therefore illegal.
c. \. Post, attorney for Todd, argued
that Sunday was not legal day, and the
law was very plain on the subject. The
ordinance had been published during
three successive weeks, and he failed to
see any merit in the other attorneys OBJ
lection.
The matter was finally submitted, but
Judge Catlin was not ready TO decide
the case just then, and took it under adj
YiSement.

Warden Aull of the Folsom Prison yes

$40 when he went to the prison.
The Warden states that Johnson did.
while serving his time there, accumulate
50 45, which he probably received from

Tor them. The law provides that each
discharged convict shall receive s. on
leaving the prison, except those who have
