SACRAMENTO WON.
The Local Baseball Team Reaching
for the Pennant.
A Close and Exciting Game at Vallejo
Yesterday Won by the Scott
81 GiIbertS.

The largest crowd of the season visited
the ball grounds at Vallejo yesterday to
witness the game between the club of
that city and the Scott q Gilberts of Sac
ramento. The game promised to be a
good one, as both clubs had won three
straight and the jumping of the Scott IL
Gllberts from fourth place to close push
for first made the Vallejo boys ginger I'D
for the occasion.
In the first inning, by getting two men
to bases on balls and an error, the Vale
jos scored two runs, and the Sacramentos
failed to score. Neither side scored in
the second or third.
In the fourth Mcdonald led off with a
line drive over second and Stafford fol-
lowed with the same kind of hit. Then
Pace drove the ball out for three bases.

Then Nethercott made another single.
making three earned runs in that in
ming.
Neither side scored after that until the
seventh, when the Vallejos tied the score,
and In the eighth they added one more,
putting them in the lead.
In the eighth Stafford led off and got to
first. Pace went out on a long fiy.
Nethercott advanced Stafford by a nice
little hit, and then Campbell drove the
ball to the left-field fence in the far cor
ner OF the lot, the longest hit ever made
on the grounds. The Scott q Gilberts
added one more run to their list, ending
the game, with a score of & to 4.
In the first inning Pace got hit on the
end of the finger and the wound bled as
if a blood vessel had been severed, but he
played the game out, and many remarks
were made comnIendatory of his pluck.

AN AWFUL FATE.
That Which Befen Harvey stookbrids

That Which Befell Harvey Stockbridee
In Nevada County.
A terrible accident happened about
eight miles north of Nevada City, on
Friday, by which Harvey Stockbridge,
young man of this city, met his death
in most horrible manner.
All that is known of the distressing
occurrence is contained in a press dis
patch from Nevada City, which states:
Harvey the 22-year-old stepson of Mr..
Beals of Sacramento, while fighting the
forest ire yesterday at Central House,
eight miles above this city, was caught
under falling tree, and the body burned
to crisp. The heat of the fire dis
charging the cartridges in the pistol
which the young man carried first at
tracted the attention of his companions
to his fate"
The deceased was the son of Mrs.
Beals by former marriage. He was a
young man of rare promise, and his un-
timely and awful death has brought
grief and pain to many hearts in this
community.
Harvey ockbridge was a youth of
many accomplishments. He was a civil
engineer, an electrician, an expert in
various other callings. industrious and
honorable IN all things. Latterly he had
been engaged In prospecting in Nevada
county. and 1t is supposed that. finding
the forest on fire, he lent his aid to those
who were fighting the flames, and was
thus engaged when he met his shocking
death.
1t has been found necessary to keep
from his mother the circumstances of his
death, as it is feared that full knowl-
edge thereof would cause her fatal
shock.

BOLD, BAD MEN.
Sent to San Quentin to Serve for
Many Years.
Known to Have Committed Seventeen
Robberies, and Suspected of Be-
Ing Murderers Also.

John Stevens and Edward Connolly,
one men arrested at Lodi last May for
burglaries committed in Calaveras
County, and who are suspected of being
the parties that robbed the San Andreas
stage and killed young lady passenger,
were on Saturday taken from Calaveras
TO San Quentin, where one is to serve a
sentence of thirty-nine years and the
other twenty-seven years.
Stevens is supposed to be a fictitious
name, He is Is years old, and does not
look hardened criminal. Connolly is
"a years of age, and was the leader in all
the robberies. He is determined man
and would apparently stop at nothing.
Had it not been for the exertions of
Sheriff Thorn the two would have been
at liberty still. He met them in Lodi,
and, recognizing them from the descrip-
tons distributed, at once placed Stevens
and Connolly under arrest.
The series of burglaries that took
place IN Calaveras, Tuolumne and Anna
dor last May" said the Sheriff in talking
about the matter, twas unprecedented
In the history of the State. There were
seventeen burglarieS in Calaveras, two in
Ainador and five or six in Tuolumne.
When / arrested the two men in Lodi
they denied all knowledge of the affair.
1hey were put in separate cells, and by
working one man against the other l got
Stevens to confess to nine burglaries and
Connolly to twelve.
1T appears that on a number of occa-
slons Stevens weakened and Connolly
committed the crimes alone. Among the
places they robbed in company were
three postoffices, in all of which they Sc
cured considerable money.
IN othing seemed TO come amiss to
them. They broke into dwelling-house
just as soon as they would into bank or
postoffice. Considering the number of
crimes they admitted and also the charges
that were never pressed, 1 think the
Judge was lenient in letting Stevens off
with twenty seven years and Connolly
with thlrty-nlne years. The latter got
the extra dose on account of being the
leader.
Il am now working on the San An
dreas and Sheep Ranch stage-coach trag-
edy. The evidence points to Stevens and
Connolly as the men who stopped the
coach. If things turn out as expect, the
two men will be charged with the myr-
DER OF Miss Rodesino. AS soon as land
them In San Quentin l will start in to
work up the evidence against them both
on that charge and in the Oakland train
robbery matter.
Il caught the two men on May 18th
last, and, as they pleaded guilty, it did
not take long to settle the matter after
the preliminary examination
Stevens and Connolly are also sus-
pected of being the two men who robbed
the treasurer and clerk of the Judson
Manufacturing Company while the latter

DRIED GRAPES.
Increased Demand and Higher Prices
Therefor.
They are Now Said to be Worth $40
Per Ton, Equivalent to SO
for the Green Fruit.

| During the past two weeks surprising
increase in the demand for dried grapes
of the red wine varieties has been noted
by those interested in viticulture in this
State. The San Francisco Post states that
number of prominent local houses,
such as the Johnson-Locke Company, w
| L. Beck q Co. and others are offering to
take large quantities. A little while back
there was so little demand that Ii cents a
pound could probably not have been OBJ
tanned, but the price has now advanced
to such an extent that 81 cents has been
| offered and paid. This is equivalent to
$40 ton for the dried grapes, or about
Sl5 ton for the undried fruit-a better
| price than has been paid for several years
hack.
The entire crop of the following vine
yards for this year is reported to have
been contracted for: The MADEIRA vine
yard at MADEIRA, the Buhach Company's
vineyard at Atwater, MERGED County;
kohler, West IL Minturn's and Webster
IL SargentS at Minturn. Besides these
large portions of the crops of yet other
vineyards have been purchased, among
| them those ofthe Fresno Vineyard Conn
pany, b. b. Rogers and the Burton estate
at Fresno; the Norris vineyard at Fowler,
LaRue's in Yolo, and many smaller
vineyards in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin Valleys.
1t was at first supposed that the grapes
were being bought up by Eastern wine
makers, but it is now stated that they are
| being disposed of in large quantities to
| people in the East and elsewhere who de-
sire a cheap and palatable substitute for
the ordinary but more high-priced dried
| fruits.
Reports received at the Office of the
| Viticultural Commission indicate that the
! present hot weather has shortened the
already short grape crop still more. 1t is
now stated that the Sonoma and Napa
| producers will not have quite half a crop,
| while in Santa Clara and Alameda
! Counties there will be something like a
two-thirds crop. As a result a notable
stiffening in the prices of California wine
and grapes is reported both in San Fran
cisco and New York.

WORE GOLDEN CARRIERS.
A CrGsus in Tatters at the County
Hospital.
An Old Man Found Sick and Starving
in a Shanty-He Wore Gar
tiers Worth 5000.

The numerous tramps that trudged
into the city during the last four days
from the southeast approaches will feel
like kicking themselves when they learn
what bonanza they missed by failing to
go through poor old sick man who
lay in his rags in a shanty at Thirty-first
and V streets.
Word was received at the County Hos
pltal yesterday that man lay sick there,
and }. FL. Judge and DIR. Whites son
went to investigate. They found man
there delirious from typhoid fever, and
with only few rags for couch. He had
on his person permit, dated the 18th, to
enter the hospital, but had not been able
to reach there, and would no doubt have
died from sickness and starvation in an
other day.
The sufferer was unable to give his
name, but from the permit it would APP
pear to be John Son. He was taken to
the hospital, and as is usual in such cases,
was first treated to bath. This proceed
Ing was not only a surprise to the patient,
but resulted in one to the attendants and
DR.. White.
When the old man was stripped they
found sort of garter tied about each of
his legs. These were made of canvas,
doubled and the edges sewn together.
They had apparently been there for many
months, if not for years, and each was
found to contain no less than fifteen
twenty-do goldpieces, or $500 in all.
In short, the old mans legs were each
encircled with band OF solid gold, max
ing pair of carriers such as no lady in
the land possesses.
In addition thereto he had something
over IS in his pockets, and is the wealth.
lest patient that DR.. White has had the
honor OF treating at the hospital for many
day.
How man with so much ready money
could have allowed himself to get in such
condition from lack of medical attend
ance is not easy to account for, except on
the theory that he is a thorough mfser-
one who would rather die than spend a
cent. DIR. White was unable to learn any
thing. concerning the man, owing to the
latter's delirious condition
He is thought to be about so years of
age. but his appearance is that of one
somewhat older.

angels are not born to die, what would be
the need OF gender in heaven?
Our leading dictionary manufactures up
here says: Where there is no relation there
is no sex. Sex determines gender, and is q
condition of limited or relative existences
such as human beings"
Angels and all higher intelligencas whose
existence IS unconditional and who therefore

gender, however. ANEAs
