GOT THE DOG
An Exciting Chase in the Seignbor-
hood Of the Depot.

An Exciting Chase in the Nsfgnbor-
hood Of the Depot.
There was lots of fun about the depot
yesterday, and a dog was the cause of
it all.
1t seems that Division Superintendent
Wright received by express a valuable
boar-hound, but while the animal was
fastened in Wells-Fargo's Office in the
depot he slipped his collar and escaped.
The police were requested to keep
lookout for the dog, and finally officer
Talbot and Special Fitzgerald got sight of
it aud tried to capture it, but the canine
with swinish procliyities wouldn't let
up Front street and over the Yolo bridge,
where it doubled on them and flew back
through the depot like blue streak.
Talbot left Fitzgerald to ''pipe otf'' the
fugitive while he went TO hack man TO
get a hitching- strap. Then there was
another race. The dog struck out across
the nursery grounds toward l street, with
Fitzgerald in hot pursuit. Talbot had a
poor start, but was bringing up the rear
with giant strides. and people who did not
know what was up supposed Fitzgerald
to be q murderer or something of the sort
whom the uniformed rank man was
trying to capture.
Everybody shouted, and this spurred
on the special officer. The race was an
exciting one until the dog-which was
not familiar with the locality-got mixed
UP with the strands of a barbed- wire
fence. While he was in this predicament
Fitzgerald came upon him, and the
frightened brute was made prisoner
and taken back in triumph.
The only wonder is that someone did
not shoot Fitzgerald so that Talbot could
catch him.

TONIGHT THE STATE FAIR OPENS.
The Big Pavilion Well Filled With
Handsome Exhibits.
Cassasa's Band VIII Be Heard-An
Assurance of a Brilliant
Season OF Racing.

The doors of the State Agricultural So
clety's great exposition building will be
thrown open to the public this evening,
and the annual fair will be started.
The last two days have worked won
ders In the interior of the building. AL
though carpenters and decorators are still
at work, the exhibits have approached so
near completion that the character of the
show can be safely determined.s
1t will be a very attractive one in every
respect, and those. who have been accus-
toned to saying that there is marked
similarity in all fairs will find much that
is new in this one. Some OF the local
business houses have exceeded all prev
ious efforts in the way of decorative art,
while the foreign exhibits constitute a
novelty that may never again be wit
messed in this country.
For those who did not attend the Chi
cago nor san Francisco fairs, the Oriental,
French, German, Russian, Irish and
other foreign exhibits will possess great
interest.
The paintings are now mostly in place,
and superintendent Stanton has them so
arranged as TO give the best possible effect.
There is a decided difference in the
foreign and domestic schools, the former
being the bolder and more striking,
while the latter charm by their unob-
trusiveness and close adherence to detail.
Tonight the famous Cassasa Band Of
fifty star musicians will be heard for the
first time in this city, and the music
alone Will be we'll worth the price OF ad-
mission.
Tie county exhibits promise TO be un-
usually fine. and it will puzzle the
judges how to award the handsome cash
prizes that have been offered.
Although there have been several
creamerles in operation in the State for
some years past, comparatively few per-
sons have any idea OF how they are run.
Those who visit the pavilion this week
and next, however, will be afforded an
opportunity OF this kind, as one Of these
Wholesale butter making factories will be
in operation in Machinery Hail
Al the Park ali is hustle and activity.
Live stock for exhibition is hourly arriy-
ing, and nearly every train brings in
horses that are to compete in the several
racing events
superintendent Hancock has force of
competent men at work putting the fin
ishing touches on the racetrack. and
horsemen say it will be in splendid con-
dition.
There are quite number of strangers
already in the city, and to-day something
approaching a rush may be looked for,
although the main body of visitors will
not show up until the races begin on
Thursday.
Referring to the fair, the San Francisco
Post says: Tine races this year promise
to De of unusual interest, as the hest lot
of horses ever brought together in Cali
fornia will contest. The running brigade
is unusually strong. and some great per-
formances are expected. Thr two-year-
old division is particularly good, such
cracks as Rey Alpbonso, Flashlight and
Piquante being among the youngsters
slated to start"

w. X. Yanderbut's Importation for
His Farm.
Are we to have an animal pest in our
country like the rabbit is in Australian
In conversation with RECORD UNION
reporter yesterday, William Land said !:
''I see by one of the San Francisco papers
that w. K. Vanderbilt has received by
steamer several nongooses, or Indian
ichneumons, which he proposes to turn
loose on his South Carolina farm. He
no doubt thinks he is doing good thing
to get rid of the snakes, but l question if
the day will not come when he will
heartily repent OF ii. In India, where
many thousands of the natives die every
year from the bites Of poisonous snakes,
the mongoose is a positive boon to the
people.
ain this country, however, it is differ
ent, and the animal is more likely to
prove curse. as it did in Jamaica. |
have seen many OF them, and they are
the most fearless, ferocious little animals
ever saw. They will tackle not only
rats, but cats and even dogs and men, and
as they can bite terribly and are almost
as quick as lightning, they are very
formidable antagonists. The cobra di
eapello is the most yenomouS OF snakes,
but the mongoose, with his lightning-liks
easily avoids bis deadly
fapgs. and seiZing him by the throat,
kills him instantly
The mongoose was introduced into ths
Island of Jamaica by a gentleman who
thought to benefit the country and put
stop to the ravages of the sugareane rat.
The mongoose not only killed the rats,
but he killed the fowls of the people as
we'll He sucked the turtles eggs and
the hens eggs, and finally became such
pest that the people hooted the gentleman
who introduced him, and added mon
goose TO his name.
II these animals become plentiful in
this country we may bid farewell to our
our turkeys and ducks and to
our wild game. Their eggs will be de-
stroyed, aud they themselves will be de-
youred. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
Mr. Vanderbilt Will reflect before he
turns his importation loose in the coun-
try.

INDEpENDENr AUDITORS.

They have an independent audit sys-
TEN in Great Britain that protects stock
holders. Under the law all joint stock
companies have an auditor appointed by
and directly responsible to the stock
holders. In some cases the auditors are
appointed by law. These auditors have
at all times access to all books and papers
Of stock company, When there is a
vacancy in an authorship that the stock
holders cannot be convened to fill at
once, the Governmental Board of Trade
makes the appointment on petition Of as
many shareholders.
The auditor serves for but one year. to
avoid liability of his being corrupted.
but he is eligible to reelection. An
auditor cannot be a stockholder OF an
officer or employe of the company or of
its Board of Directors. His duties are
prescribed by law, and are very ex
plicit. Whatever proposition the direc-
tors make to the stockholders the audi
tor examines into and reports upon to
the shareholders TO whom alone he is re-
sponsible.
Of course such position is one of
dignity and great importance, and is
given only to men of high competency
and business integrity. In work on
the system by F. w. Pixley, an eminent
auditor, he says, after describing the op-
position an auditor will encounter from
directors who have neglected their duties
or prepared false accounts: 1.-The direct
ors are in his power if he is firm, as they
would be placed in an embarrassing po-
sition if they attempted to face the meet
ing of the stockholders without the au-
ditor's certificate"
The system works we'll throughout the
United Kingdom, we are told. and is now
being introduced freely into the United
States by companies in which English
capital is largely invested.
In England the business of ''independ-
ent auditing" is undertaken largely by
firms of auditors. who train up men for
this business, ana these firms undertake
the auditorships for many companies, so
that it is not necessary that there shall be
separate auditor for each company. By
this means heavy cost is saved and the
auditing for lesser corporations is done at
a low figure.
For several years one of these auditing
firms has had branch house in the
United States, and the testimony is that
it has had all it could attend to, many
companies falling into the system with
out legal compulsion.

which there are not the courts of Judge
Lyhch-more the shame to us that it is
so. That they are more frequently found
IN the South is due in some degree to the
exceeding large criminal element among
the negroes, and that there is among
them such number given to brutal
crimes. Sensible Iaw-abiding colored
men know this to be true and deplore it.
1t IS to be attributed, of course, to the
slowness with which the negro race in
the South mounts to a higher moral leyel
and the slight encouragement given him.
The South is sensitive; it is not there
lore to be led by irritating it; to bitterly
assall Southern whites is not the way to
induce them to unite with you, Miss
wells, in your mission. Neither will the
South be moved by club denunciatory
resolutions passed in England. You will
not gain foot of advance by defaming
Southern women. You will not drive
any Southern community, but most OF
them may be led. To enkindle sectional
bitterness of feeling is almost crime; to
reform by abuse is an impossibility.
Lynching is reproach; it is murder
by the mob; it is brutal, savage and never
to be justified or condoned. The orderly
processes of the law must have their way;
the laws against crime must be enforced,
and the education of the people away
from savagery must be pushed on. Miss
Wells is laboring in a right direction,
but her method appears to be infiamma-
tory, and is therefore weak; she cannot
speak too harshly of lynching anywhere;
but she viii accomplish nothing by in
temperate assaults. She is right when
she says that the institutions of society
cannot stand the strain lynching puts
upon their powers of endurance; but to
enforce conviction of this truth and to
encourage respect for law and to discour-
age lawlessness it is not necessary to in
fame the South by assailing its women
and embittering it's men.
