VICTORY FOR PURE WATER.
The Voice of the People Rang Out
Clear and Strong.
Out of Three Thousand Votes, Good
Water Has a Majority of Over
Eight Hundred.

Again has the intelligence of Sacra-
mento asserted itself-again have the
progressive citizens of the city demon
strated that they are largely in the ma
joritY. and always alive TO the advance
ment Of her interests, as has been shown
on every occasion that the people have
been asked to give expression to their
sentiment on some question or other af-
fecting the city's welfare.
The victory for pure water achieved on
Saturday last is sufficient answer to the
charge so often heard from outside
sources that Sacramento is lacking in
progressiveness. The truth is that this
city would have long ago declared for
good, wholesome water had it not been
for the fact that her hands were tied,
financially speaking, because Of an old
debt that she has been carrying and
which has stood between her and the
limit over which the law says no city
shall incur an Indebtedness.
Even now 1t would not be possible, for
this same reason, for Sacramento to prt .
cure a new and better water supply, had
not someone offered to give it to her on
long credit and without the immediate
outlay of dollar.
are to be congratulated on the fact that
they had wisdom enough to accept the
offer-one that will remove for all time
the worst reproach that has been thrown
into the teeth of Sacramentans for O quar-
ter of a century, and which has, more
than all other local draw backs combined,
operated to prevent the city's advance
ment.
Despite the use of money contrib
uted from some mysterious source an
tagonistic to the adoption of clear water
supply; despite the fact that almost the
entire saloon and all the brewery in
huence was thrown against good water
against the combined efforts of the an
archistic, rag-tag and bobtan element IN
the community, the city declared over
whelmingly for new and better sup
ply Of wholesome water.
The victory was won in the face of the
most determined opposition, and is there
fore all the more creditable TO the in
telligent, progressive element in the
community. 1t is useless now to de-
scribe in detail the character of the fight
made against the city's interests, or to re-
fer to the personality of the men who
handled and marshaled the foes of clear
water in the oldtime Doodle fashion.
The victory was so complete ana SO graf
flying that the friends of progress can af-
ford to be content with the result.
There were an unusual number of
tickets thrown out in some of the pre-
cincts, notably in the upper half of the
Fourth Ward, where the officers of cleo
ton also permitted certain men to stand
within the polling place and try to brow
beat the friends of pure water by openly
soliciting voters in the line to cast their
ballots for Sacramento straight" Here
are samples of the kind of ballots thrown
out:

NOT A SAFE Deposit
The Usual Result of a Man Banking in
HIS Cellar.

His Cellar.
On Saturday farmer residing east of
Routier's came all out of breath to town
and asked the police to try and find a cer-
tain person whom he described. and
whom he suspected of having robbed him
OF Sl60.
1t seems the farmer concluded to be his
own banker, after the financial panic
struck this part of the country, SO he
withdrew his money from one of the
banks and buried it lin the proverbial tin
cam in his cellar
ON Saturday he wanted to use some of
it in his business, but-like the Irish
mans flea-when he put his finger on the
deposit it wasn't there. a few days be-
fore he had discharged a work hand. and
at once suspected him of having tapped
the can.

other car was coming up the street from

trying to avoid it, lost his balance and
fell upon the track.
Before the car could be stopped, the
wheels struck Fleming and crushed one
of his legs.
DIR. f. u. Fay was summoned to attend
the wounded man. After the injured Ie,r

1T was thought at first that Fleming
would lose his leg, but yesterday the
doctors said they could save it.

PATRICK DUFFY DEAD.
He Passed Quietly Away in the Night
The Hoodoo Cell.


Patrick Duffy, who was well-known in
this city, was found dead in bed in his
cell in the City Prison yesterday morn
ing. He was brought IN drunk some
days ago, but when he attempted to 60
upstairs to the Police Court Saturday
morning he was in such weak condition
that Judge Buckley thought best to send
him to the County Hospital.
He was accordingly put into the county
ambulance for that purpose, but on the
way the driver left the wagon for few
minutes and Duffy escaped.
Officer McManus found him on j street
shortly afterward and had him taken
back to Jail, intending to send him out
the next day. He was apparently in his
usual health when he went to bed, but
died without struggle or a sound during
the night, and was cold when found in the
morning.

be ascertained, but these two were shown
after the count had been made up. Of
course there could have been no doubt as
TO how the men who cast these ballots in
tended to vote. but the officers of election
decided that there was but one way in
which to stamp a ballot-that it must be
in the square, and that but one stamp
mark must be made.
The following table shows the result of
the balloting:

Annoyance to Citizens.

Three citizens who used city water at
hours prohibited by law were arrested on
Saturday on complaint of Inspector
Clark. If the city had the right kind of
water supply this would not have been
necessary. The present water ordinance
is required because the works cannot
supply citizens with what water they re-
quire at all times.
