FIRE IN THE COURTHOUSE.
Its Timely Discovery Saved the BuiIt
iner and (,OnraOrs

Its Timely Discovery Saved the Build
ing and Contents.
There came very near being a disastrous
fire in the Courthouse early yesterday
morning. Had it obtained a good start
before being discovered, the probability
is that the building would have been
gutted and the records in the Clerks and
Assessors offices and the courtrooms de-
stroyed.
The fire resulted from defective CRATE
in Judge Catlin's chambers in the front
of the second story, and directly over the
Tax Collectors office. 1t broke out be-
tween the ceiling of the latter room and
the floor in Judge Catlin's office, and was
working its way along the floor joists to-
ward the eastern side of the building A
little later and the flames would have
burst through the floor.
A young1nan named Adrian Ten bosch.
who studies in the law library most Of
the day and is employed in the Golden
Eagle Hotel at night, states that about
O'Clock in the morning he went TO the
Courthouse to get book from the
library, and in passing Judge Catlin's
office saw smoke issuing from the door
and windows.
lie says he ran to the rear of the build
ing and aroused Deputy Sheriff Ben
O'Neil, who sleeps in the Jail. and then
hastened and turned in an alarm.
1t did not take long to locate and ex-
tinguish the fire. BY the aid OF an ak the
floor In front OF the CRATE was cut away
and the Babcock exEinguisher soon had
the ire quenched.
Considerable damage was done to the
Tax Collectors Office. and the loss en-
tailed Will be several hundred dollars.

The Industrial Improvement Associa-
tion Employs c. G. Howell.
A meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Industrial Improvement Association
was held yesterday afternoon, there be-
ing present Messrs. d. Lubin, W. a..
Curtis, E. j. Gregory. j. 0. Coleman, j..
H. Arnold, W. f. Gormley, C. A. Luhrs
and George B. Katzenstein.
The Canvassing Committees, who had
called upon the larger note-signers, re-
ported good success in the matter of ad-
vance payments, and that they had met
with prompt and hearty responses and
felt much encouraged. Fully 1860 had
been collected and deposited in bank as
result of but two days canvass, and the
remaining $500 required could undoubt-
edly be raised without difficulty within
the next few days.
1t was then unanimously decided to
notify c. c. Howell oil his employment
upon the conditions and terms previously
mentioned, and the Secretary was di-
rected to instruct him to report to the
Board of Directors at a subsequent date
to receive instructions and arrange de-
tails.
The Secretary reports that the bene-
fetal effects of the movement are already
perceptible, in that public attention has
been directed to Sacramento from TAR
away places, and that he is in receipt OF
communications making inquiries that
point to an interest in this locality. AS
an advertisement alone OF the opportuni-
ties and resources of our city the effort
and money expended in this direction
has been more than well employed.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Teharna County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which TO
pay five equal annual instalIments, with in
terest at the rate of Z per cent. per annun,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices TO corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
hoIne-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easyof
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlernent in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

dress WIN. n. MILLS,

SINKING OF THE NICHOLS.
List of the Missing. II Is Thought, VIII
Swell TO Fifty When All

New YORK, June 25.-The story Of the sink
ing of the tug james D. Nichols yesterday, as
learned to-day by the coroner from the sur
vivors, is to the effect that the sea was run
ming unusually high when Capt. William
Hyatt started for the Horse Shoe. The high
waves broke over the tug, and the crowd on
board. to try to escape getting wet, shifted to
one side of the boat, which caused her to
careen. While in this position the tug took
water rapidly. and when there were several
feet OF water In the engine room some one
cried out that there was danger OF the boiler
exploding. This caused panic and gen.
eral rush for life-preservers
The tug was righted by being struck by
big wave, but she had taken in so much water
that she sank in very short time. Many OF
the men on board had fishing lines out at the
time and it is believed that some of the
drowning men got caught in the fishing
lines.
1t will probably never be known Just how
MANY persons were on board the ill-fated
tug at the time of the accident. Few OF the
passengers were acquainted with each other,
and the only way in which the names OF the
lost can be obtained is from the applications
of their friends and relatives for information
at police headquarters. The passengers
came from all over the east side. from Col
lege Point, from Brooklyn. and even from
Hoboken and 1t is probable that some OF
those drowned will never be reported or heard
from again.
The list of the missing men has been
swelled TO thirty-six, and it is believed that
this number will be increased to fifty or more
when the names of the strangers who were on
board become known.
