a Committee of Citizens Appointed to
Prepare RESOLUTIONS.
Mayor Steinman reminded his fellow
Trustees yesterday that the city had lost
one Of its oldest and most prominent
residents, the late Leland Stanford. 1t
was eminently fitting, he said, that this
city should testify it's sorrow at his de-
cease, and he suggested that committee
Of old citizens should be appointed to
prepare resolutions in relation to his
death.
There are many here, he added, who
were Senator StanfOrd's intimate friends
and associates, and who would gladly
testify their appreciation of him as a man
and a citizen. He suggested the names
Of I. NJ. Lindley, Dr. q. l.. Simmons, w.

Weinstock and Hon. 4. p. Catlin as such

should consist of private citizens rather

som Prison informed Warden AuIl that
he had seen in this city the convict Pico.

but whom the guards were confident they
killed while he was endeavoring to swim
across the American River.
A man, supposed to be the one referred
to. was arrested by the police day or two
ago, but when Warden Aull saw him
yesterday he promptly said the prisoner
was not Pico.
About two months ago a similar re-
port came from Los Angeles that, PicC
had been seen there, but Warden Aul
takes no stock in any of these reports
He says the prison guards rained Str M
OF bullets about the escaping prisoner
and that he was seen TO throw up his
hands and disappear beneath the rushing
waters. He is certain Pico was killed.

BRETHREN, TAKE NOTICE.

The brethren will please bear in mind
that in my official capacity as State
Business Agent, I am acting directly
under the instruction of the State
Executive Committee. Their instruc-
tions are that I shall fill orders only
when cash to the full amount Of the
bill accompanies each order, except in
cases Of County and Sub-Business
Agents who have filed in my Office a
justified legal bond for double the
amount expected to be due at any one
time, in which latter case thirty days
from date of bill will be allowed in
which to make remittance for same.
Now it frequently happens that some
good brother, not being informed as to
this ruling of the Executive Commit
tee, will ask us to ship goods and he
i" will pay for same on receipt Of bill, ,
or when goods arrive"
Sometimes we r asked to ship &C.

in the attitude of refusing, but in either
of the above cases we are compelled to
do so. Wehave had a little experience

OUR SEWING MACHINES.

sibIe to you for repairs" and such like
expression which they know are false.
Only afew days ago, we learned that
one agent was saying that we were
shipping cut second hand" machines.
That agent may deal in second hand"
goods himself. The business agent Of
the State Farmers Alliance does not.

Damage by Lightning.

During the year 1891 two hum
dred and five lives were lost Chat we
know Of } in the United States, east
of the Rocky mountains, directly
through the action of lightning.
How many were lost indirectly, and
how many cases there were of shat
tered health and more or less per-
manent injury, we can only surmise.
The financial loss due directly to
lightning was certainly not below
one and half million dollars. To
get at something like a commercial
estimate of the damage done by
lightning in the past few years, in
this country, have made use Of the
Chronicle fire tables for the six
years 1885-189O, and find that some
twenty-five hundred and twenty
three fires, or 13 per cent. of the
whole number, were caused by
lightning, and the total loss was. SO, :
1856, 826, or 1.25 per cent. Of the
whole amount lost by fire During
1892 we have a record of two hun
dred and ninety-two lives lost. The
damage may be estimated at as high
a figure as in 1891. These losses are
the more appalling when we recall
that the year is virtually less than
six months. Over ninety-fve per
cent. Of the casualties due to light
ming occur between the months OF
April and September. 1t is there
fore quite pertinent at this time to
discuss the question whether or not
we are able to protect ourselves
from lightning. Some five years age
the question would have been an
swered readily and with all sincerity;
eyes, good electrical connection
with the earth-a stout, continuous
copper rod, for example-will sui
fee" To-day no such answer can
pass unchallenged, for reasons which
we shall see.-Popular Science
