TENNIS PLAYERS.
Birdsau and Van Voorhies Win tn
High school Tournament.

BirdsalI and Van VOORHEES, Win the
High school Tournament.
Van Yoorhies and ,Birdsall won the
high school tennis tournament which
was concluded on Saturday, with Blanch-
ard and Tozer second.
There was not the vim in Saturdays s
playing that was noticeable on the pre-
ceding day, as all the teams settled down
to steady playing. Nichols went to pieces
in his first set against Van Voorhies and
Birdsall. Carroll and Nichols lost heart,
which resulted in an easy victory for
their opponents.
The winners then went against Blanch-
ard and Tozer, which resulted in some
good playing, but the latter were not
strong enough for Van Voorhies and
Birdsall, who played much better than on
Friday. Birdsan played very steady
and sure game, while the returns of Van
Voorhies were very deceptive, he giving
the balls a peculiar cut which caused
them to bounce differently than from the
ordinary stroke.
A tournament of singles will be held
very soon, in which all the players of
Sacramento viii compete, and it behooves
the older members of the club to look to
their laurels, as the high school students
play n very strong game.

sAWDUsT IN qRUCKER RIVER
What sacramentan saw on Recenl
visit.

visit
a resident ofthfs city who came down
from Truckee yesterday morning stated
last night that while he was there, the
big lumber mill on the river below the
town shut off the water to make some
repairs.
He went down below the flume to take
look at the river and found the bed
filled with sawdust which had been run
out from the mill. When he spoke to a
peace officer about it, he was told that
every one there knew well that it was a
violation of the law, but that no one
would swear to a complaint against the
mill owners. AS il usual in such cases,
no one wished to incur the i'll will OF his
nejghbors.
AS proof that there are trout in the
river, man who fished yesterday In two
pools that were left by the shutting off OF
the water caught thirty-hve trout from
one TO two feet long. Many trout are
being brought into the town from the
surrounding streams, which sell readily
TO passengers on the trains at 20 cents per
pound. Whether they were caught with
hook and line or by other means he was
OF course unable TO say.
1t would seem that with all the money
that Is beng expended by the State in
maintaining hatcheries from which to
stock the streams, and stringent law
on the books, that some attention might
be paid to such a Hagrant violation OF It,.
1t would seem also that If the Fish Com
miSsloners went to work in proper way,
there should be no difficulty in securing
evidence OF what every one in the COM
munity is fully aware of and making
guilty parties pay the penalty Of con-
tumacy.

As officers Wilson and Fisher were go
ing along Third street, between and j,
very early yesterday morning, they saw
drunken man go into the alley with an
other man.
Suspecting something they followed,
bat the fellow happening to look up, saw
them and walked away with the inebri-
ated individual up to Fourth street. AS
the officers caught up to them he handed
the latter a quarter and asked him to give
him the change. The officers asked why
he did so and he told them he was giving
him ten cents to get drink with, but had
no small change.
The drunken man in the meantime told
a different story. He said the other,
whose name is Ed st. Clair, pulled pis-
tol on him in the alley, claiming to be an
officer and to arrest him. ST. Clair was
taken to the station, protesting that his
charitable heart had got him into trouble,
but as a pistol was found on him when
searched it looks as If the tipsy individ-
uai had told the truth.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Recently. in ran
saeking the storehonse OF memory,

the significance of which surprised me,
and will, have no doubt. surprise the
oldest inhabitants OF your city.
1T happened in this wise: l was with a
company of impecunii, who were lament
ing their hard fate and variously charg-
ing it upon God. the Government, their
iellow-men and everything except them
selves. This, habitually, is not my
style. l look upon it as baby talk, I'M
worthy of men. | have a contempt for
it. AS | should claim most, if not all,
of the credit OF such success, scorn to
shirk any part of the responsibility for
failure.
In support of my contention it struck
me to cite certain men of whom IN your
good city OF Sacramento, from forty TO
forty-two years ago, l was contempo-
rary, enjoying opportunities and advan-
tages equal to most and superior to many
Of them. I don't suppose that / recalled
ali or nearly all of them, but the list
strung out beyond my expectations. LII
tells wonderful story, which, il seems
to me, is entitled TO a prominent niche in
the history of your city.
These are the names: Lloyd Tevis, j.
B. Haggin, d. 0. Mills, NJ. S. Latham,
Louis Sloss, Jesse Seligman, Isidor

under the mark to estimate the aggregate
present wealth OF these men or their es-
tates at S350, 600, 600. think that $500, 900.
600 would be nearer the mark. Each one OF
them made his first considerable start in
Sacramento. l do not believe that from
the beginning of time down to the present
day there has been city of equal popu-
lation-or of five or ten times its popula-
ton for that matter-in which an equal
number Of men have laid the foundation
of equal or approximate wealth within
the same or a much greater lapse of time,
/ doubt whether any city ia the Union,
no matter what its population, has given
to the.country greater number OF lead
ers in their respective lines than is to be
found in this list Of old Sacramentans

ACTS OF VIOLENCE.
An Estimate of the Value of Railroad

An Estimate of the Value OF Railroad
Property Destroyed.
The assertion has been so often made
that there were no acts of violence com
mitted during the late strike, and no in
jury done to railroad property on the
Southern Pacific system. that a RECORD
UNION reporter was detailed TO call on
Superintendent OF Machinery and Loco
motive power III. J. Small, on Saturday,
to ascertain the amount of the actual
damage done to railroad property. This
was without reference TO the loss en-
tailed on the company in general way,
and even emitting that res ulting from
the destruction OF the 1,900-foot trestle
near Dunsmoir. The list is as follows:
Three mail cars, almost totally de-
stroyed, s., 200 each.
Locomotive wrecked on the I olo
tfestle, $2,O00.
Two express and baggage cars, $500
each.
A coach on the Woodland train, dam
aged prior to the 4th, $50.
Engine stolen from Dunsmuir, $3.50.
Large quantity of alr-hose cut and de-
stroyed, about $500.
Thirty-two locomotives disabled by
the removal of valve-rods, several hum
dred dollars.
There are many other small items ag-
Gregating a considerable sum. Indeed,
1t is difficult to approximate the loss to
the company from acts OF violence, but
the total sum reaches up into the thou
sands.
The loss from interruption Of freight
and passenger traffic, the cost OF caring
for passengers who were detained for
three weeks at various points on the
road, and the innumerable expenses to
which the company was subjected in
consequence of the strike. has been
simply enormous. 1t has been roughly
estimated, however, at about 500, 900 a

County in the suit of II. P. Gray against
Long Bros. & Co., for the recovery OF the
cost of a number of fruit trees.
Gray and Long Bros. had entered into
an agreement whereby the former was to

and in the agreement deduction from the
price was provided on account OF some
of the trees being afflicted with "blac6
knot"
When the trees were received the au-
thorities of Fresno County condemned
them and Long Bros. refused to pay for
them. Gray brought suit and recovered
judgment, and the defendants appealed
TO the Supreme Court. The court, by the
opinion of Justice Harrison, concurred
IN by Justices Garreute and Van Fleet,

might purchase each part of the series OF

the remarkably low price at which the

illustrated, and detailed story of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECORD-UNIoN might have sold these
parts at figure considerably in advance
of eight cents and thereby reaped rich
