ROBBED ON TEE CARS.
Sensational Story Told by a Sacra-
mento Chinaman.
He Says He Was Held Up, on Train
Leaving Here, by Two Men
Who Robbed Him.

A telegram from Oakland yesterday to
a San Francisco paper contained the fol-
lowing story about an alleged Sacramento
Chinaman:
Charley Lee always was an industri-
Gus Chinaman. Despite the temptations
of fan tan and the alluTements OF the
Mclean game of faro. he kept on the
straight and narrow path that he had
selected as his route soon after he came
to America and was ChriStianiZed. This
was all the more remarkable too, for
Charley resided in Sacramento, where
the opportunities 'to make killing in
gambling houses are spread out in every
direction. AS a result of Charley's in
dustry, he Of coarse saved money, and
when couple OF days ago the family for
whom he worked broke up house and
started for Oakland, Charley had Sl75 i'll
bright shining gold in his little wallet.
Ibis employers did not want to lose
such an exceptional servant, so they took
Charley along, and in order that none of
the valuable furniture should go astray
he was placed in charge of it, and came
down with 1t in the boX-car of the train
that left the capital yesterday morning.
He was bright and smiling when he
went on board the cars, but, oh what a
difference when he landed III Oakland at
the SiXteenth-Street station last night.
the tear stains on his cheeks showed that
he was suffering from great mental an
guIish. His employers, who met him at
the depot, were of course greatly alarmed
when they saw him step from the ear in
such plight, and they were much con-
cerned when they heard his story. 1t ap-
pears that Just as the train was pulling
out of Sacramento the car in which Char
ley sat was boarded by a couple of rough
looking men, who seized him roughly
and ordered him to give up his money.
The frightened Chinaman resisted at first,
but they soon overpoWered him, and
then they robbed him of all his money
and went away.
THE matter was placed in the hands Of
the railroad police here, but there is little
chance that the thieves viii be located.
Meantime Charley is confronted with the
proposition of how much he has saved by
resisting the destinations Of fan tan or

Reports of Engineers for Improve
ments in California.
WAsHTN GTON, July 2I.-Beports of the
engineers in charge of :he river and har-
bor improv vements on the Pacific Coast
have been received at the War Depart
ment. Respecting the Oakland harbor it
is expected to apply the next appropria-
ton TO the further excavation of the tidal
canal and the protection of its banks: also
to complete the south jetJy and dredge
the canals both in the lower and upper
parts of the harbor. The growth in the
traffic III this harbOr in twelve months
appropriation available on July Ist, when
the fiscal year began, was $50, ,4l9 80. 1t is
estimated that 1891 900 will be needed to
complete the project, and all that amount
can be protitabIy expended during the
coming year.
For Napa River improvements, the
balance uneXpended is 81, l43. No further
appropriation is recommended, except as
it may be needed for the removal of bar
formations by dredging as they arise.
The balance available for Redwood
Creek is s., 40 0S. No further aDpropria-
ton is recommended, but the engineers
say the channel will fill UP with material
brought down from the other reaches Of
the creek and will call for removal in
time.
For San Luis Obispo harbor the bal
ance available is 1894 50, and S219 800 is es-
timated as the amount needed to finish
the work, Sl30,00O Of which can be profit
ably expended during the coming year
At Wilmington harbor the east jetty viii
be extended beyond Deadman's Island.
and an effort made to keep in repair and
strengthen the works already in course of
construction. The balance available is
50. $40 SO, though SOL 900 is needed.
For San Diego harbor the balance avail
able is $50, 759 81. To complete the work
S334 900 is needed, and 100000 can be
profitably expended in the coming year.
The channel will be improved when the
tietty construction has been extended out
sufficiently to cut off the movement of
the sand over the Zuninga shoals.
The balance for the San joaquin River
Improvement is S969, ,45l. The amount
needed is indeterminate, but SI64, $50 can
be proftably expended at once. For the
Mokelumne River the balance available
is S5i2 So and 50, 100 is needed, all of which
could be used at once.
For the Sacramento and Feather Rivers
the balance is SD, 100 Oh and the amount
needed is indeterminate. 1t is reported
that $4,000 can be profitably ex-
pended. For Petaluma Creek the balance
is Sl07 %. The amount needed is indie
terminate and $4,000 can be profitabIy
expended.
For Humboldt harbor and bay a bal
ance of SIS, ,112 Il is available and 81, u.s.

Murdered by Prejudice.

Thousands Of men die every day who
might be saved. Prejudice has murdered
many man and woman. If it were be-
lieved that the sum of disease could be
reduced by physic, much would be
gained. The nightmare of death would
not frighten US as it does. In our mod
ern civilization we ought reasonably to
expect disease to settle upon us because
we do so much to attract it; because we
so often and so steadily expose ourselves
TO it. At the same time we all ought to
understand, as a part of our rudimentary
education, that to save ourselves from
the effects of such exposure some kind of
fortiication should be built around our
vital forces lest the enemy carry US, as it
were, by q sudden onslaught For many
years the unprejudiced have used BRAND
RETH's PILLS in this way, and they have
proved a most effective wall against the
approach Of disease.

BRIEF NOTES.


Piute Indians Of both sexes are becom-
ing numerous about the streets, and the
poker season will soon be in full blast.
People should beware of catfish sold
by Cinnamon. Most of them are taken
from poisonous drainage canals and stag
nant sloughs.
A new substance has been discovered
that has nine times the power Of extin-
gushing fire that water has. What
fine after-drink that would be TO accom-
pany some OF the fre-water sold these
days.
Yesterday was the thirty-first ami
versary of the battle of Bull Run, the
first great battle of the civil war. There
are some old soldiers living who doubtless
have a very lively remembrance Of that
eventful day.
About this time of the year look out for
disputes as TO who is entitled to the credit
of having shipped the first bale of hops
of the season. And it would be interest
ING to know if the first bale is any better
than the last one.
The examination of Fred Wickers,
whose wife charges him with having
threatened her life, was continued by
Justice Henry yesterday. Wickers told
his side of the story to q RECORD MON
reporter yesterday, and it puts very
different color on the matter.

The Mother Of Statesmen Likely to

Her County Clerk Resigns the Office
What Deputy Attorney-Gen-

When the decision of the Supreme
court in the Doherty VS.. Austin case,
affecting the employment of extra depu-
ties, was made known, the County Clerk
of Tuolumne County, Joseph Fitzgerald,
rendered TO the Board of Super
visors that county his resignation.
Mr.. Fitzgerald found it impossible to do
the work of the Office without the assist
ance of extra deputies.
In reply to letter asking for informa-
ton relative to the effect of his action,
Deputy Attorney-General Layson yester-
day sent the following:

In case Fitzgerald insists upon aban-
doning the office, quite complicated
state of affairs will ensue, unless sue
cessor qualities at an early day. There

of preparing a new Register, as required
in all the counties of the state, and if the
Register is not completed the county viii
be disfranchised, as it will have no quail

The Supervisors of Tuolumne have a
complicated problem to solve, unless they
can prevail upon some one to accept the
Office Of County Clerk Tor pure glory
and trust to luck to be rewarded later on.
