CHEERFUL GIVERO OF SACRAMENTO.
A Characteristic by Which They Are
Widely Known.
Money Rolling In TO the Industrial
neutrality-suspicious. Pablo
Contributions

Sacramentans are noted for the cheerful
manner in which they always walk up to
the captains Office and plank down the
coin when money is needed tor good
purpose. If the city has failed in some
respects to keep pace with the progress of
the age, it is not because her citizens have
failed to do their part-to go down into
their pockets for the necessary funds.
The small delinquent taxlist In this
city and county has for many years been
the envy OF other communities that
assumed TO look down upon Sacramento.
4 few years since, when the delinquent
list of this county occupied less than one
column OF a newspaper, that of one of the
southern counties filled fifty pages of
seven-column paper-350 columns.
Sacramentans have never refused to
vote to assess themselves heavily for
levee and street improvements, and
money has been freely subscribed for
Fourth OF July celebrations. for the sew
eral local charities, for religious pur-
poses, open-alr concerts, race meetings,
the entertainment of Eastern visitors,
and for multitude OF purposes.
Only few weeks ago the merchants
and hotel-keepers paid $1,000 to bring the
Pacific Coast Breeders races here. Sew
eraI thousand dollars Is now being col
lected TO defray expenses connected with
the Native Sons celebration of Admis-
sion Day, and several thousand more is
being freely put UP for the Electric Car
nival to be given on that night
And yet, in the face OF all these de-
mands upon the purses of citizens
mostly business men-the $4,000 called
for by the Industrial improvement Asso-
citation with which to bring hither from
Boston the Ostrander Gun Factory, is be-
ing paid in rapidly. The notices calling
in ten per cent. on the amounts of the
notes subscribed have not been out of the
Secretary's hands lorty-elght hours, yet
the money is rolling in in lively stream
to the California State Bank.
All day yesterday these cheerful givers
OF Sacramento flied in and out of the
bank, and The clerks say they never saw
men part with their money so freely and
omplainIugly. livery body believes
the association acted wisely in accepting
the gun company's offer, and that the
city IS getting good bargain.
The people are all right Two years
or more ago they declared for clear, pure
water, but they haven't got it yet. If
their Will had been carried out as it
should have been, the city would long
since have had q water supply unsur-
passed on the continent and her reve-
nues therefrOm would have been largely
increased, while the chief obstacle in the
way OF an increase of population would
have been removed.
But people who are so willing to put
up their money for what they want can
not long be deprived of the thing coveted,
and some Gay the city will have good
water from pure and never-failing sub
terranean sources near by.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Little Joe Azavedo's Life Crushed On
nv Railroad fapS

Little Joe Azavedo's Life Crushed Out
by Railroad Cars.
Joe Azavedo, a boy II years of age, the
son of John Azavedo, was terribly in
iured in an accident on the railroad track,
on Front street, near l., yesterday morn
ing, and died in the evening.
As the Los Angeles express passed NJ
street on its way to the depot, young
Azavedo jumped on one of the cars and
rode as far as The point where tn acct
dent occurred. He attempted to get OFT,
but slipped and fell with his legs across
the track.
The wheels passed over them below
the knees, almost cutting them of. He
also received several wounds on his head,
caused by his head coming in contact
with the ground.
He was taken to the County Hospital,
where his legs were amputated above the
knees The shock to his system was too
great. however, and the poor little fellow
could not survive.
A brother of the unfortunate boy was
killed on Third street, near NJ, by a
street car about two years ago while play

There was big crowd of men and boys

hidden there by the men who robbed the
overland train last October.
The offer of one-fourth of the money to
whoever might find it evidently had a
very moving effect in some quarters
Most OF those who went treasure seeking
however, were unprepared for digging,
merely walking about and kicking over
the piles Of debris. a few had long iron
rods which they forced into the ground
here and there in the hope OF striking the
coin.
But the day passed and nobody STUN
bled upon the money, and as tho gold
seekers trudged back to the city through
the lengthening evening shadows, most
OF them expressed the opinion that the
money had long since departed.

Runaway Horses.
George Wisseman's delivery team ran
away yesterday on Tenth street, near G.
with the result that little four-year-old
boy had a narrow escape from being
killed. The wagon was badly used up,
and so was the iron railing about the
curb in front of William II. Davis' resi-
dence.
The horses had been left standing in
the street while the driver was eating his
dinner. His little boy climbed upon the
wagon seat and whipped up the horses,
just as he had seen his father do, and
with similar effect. The horses ran rap
idly to q street, where they made a short
turn on the northwest corner, overturn-
ing the wagon against graceful but trail
umbrella Tree IN front of Mr.. Davis
house.
The child was pitched out. and it was
said that one of the wheels of the wagon
passed over its legs. 1t was injured
about the head also, but few hours later
was reported to be all right.

STATUS OF PAVING.
Hennessy & Cox Are Prepared to
Work Rapidly.


Work Rapidly.
In case no rainy days intervene be-
tween today and a week from next
Friday, the paving of Sixth street will
be completed from Sibley street to
Smith avenue by that date. At least
that is what Contractor Hennessy
of Hennessy & Cox, said yesterday.
By that time the gas company will
probably have finished laying mains Oh
st. Peter street, and HennesSy & Cox
will be able to begin their work On
that street between Third street and
College avenue.
In the meantime the work on Third
street from Seven Corners to Pleasant
avenue and on upper Fourth stree;
is progressing rapidly. Both Fourth
and st. Peter streets ought to be COM
pletely paved by Sept. Is. So also
ought upper Fifth street from Wa
basha to West Third street.
With Wabasha street, however, the
case is different. The final order for
paving Wabasha street with asphalt
from curb to curb, from Third street
to College, has passed the board OF
aldermen, but the indica lions are that
the final order will strike a snag at
the meeting of the assembly tonight.
1t is well known that Assemblyman
Johnson favors an all brick pavement
on Wabasha street, and he may oppose
the final order for asphalt 1t is also
reported that the street railway COM
pany will strive to secure a modifi-
cation of the order for asphalt from
curb to curb SO as to permit the COM
pany to lay brick or granite between
its rails and tracks. Should this be the
case, and should the dispute between.
the street railway company and the
opposing property owners be as pro-
longed as in the case of Seventh
street, Wabasha street would not be

.TAlLORS GOING TO WORK.
Most of the Strikers VIII Soon
y5+as-Be Re-empI0yed.


NEW YORK, July 31.-The principal
feature today in the tailors' strike sit
uation was the issuing of bonded
agreements to contractors. Of these
no, representing over eighty shops,
furnished the required security, and
it is expected that 1000 coat makers
will resume work tomorrow. The
strike, though somewhat abated, is
still on. and the strikers declare they
will fight until the contractors have
all fallen into line and acknowledged
their defeat by signing the new agree
ment. About 100 cloak makers from
the factory of H. GerscheI & Son to-
day quit work because the proprietors
charged the workers with using rcot-
ton instead of silk thread in making
garments They denied this and made
a demand for 80 cents more a day in
the scale of wages, which was refused,
and a strike Immediately followed.
The strikers were received with shouts
of applause when they presented them
selves at general headquarters at
Waltballa hall. The headquarters of
the arbitrator was thronged this
afternoon with contractors and their
bondsmen, anxious to file papers Of
agreement. The contractors were in
executive session all afternoon. They
try to discredit the statements that
the contractors are yielding, and
threaten to boycott all those who will;
so that it would appear from the atti-
tude of the contractors that they pro-
pose prolonging the strike. Meyer
Schoenfield, however, said that the
tangle would not be Strengthened out
for at least ten days more, as some of
the belligerent contractors would have
to be- brought to their knees and forced
to recognize the power of the brother
hood. 1t is axpected that the major
portion of the strikers will be work
ing before the end of the week.

ANDERSON IS SATISFIED.
Very Few Complaints of Inferior
Milk Being Sold.

So far as the Office of the state dairy
commissioner knows there is nothing
the matter with the dairies of st. Paul,
and the milk is pure and wholesome.
Constant and thorough inspection is
kept up and unremitting care is taken
to prevent any deterioration in quail
1ty. There are few or no complaints
reaching the dairy commissioner Of
f1ce now and the situation in ST. Paul,
with reference to dairy products, is
considered highly satisfactory.
With regard to the establishment by
the city of a plant for the Pasteuriza-
ton Of milk, Commissioner Anderson
is an advocate of it, as he is of the
establishment and maintenance of such
other means for the preservation of
the purity of milk as may be found
to be advantageous and feasible But
this does not argue any special or inn
minent need of it at this time, and is
only in line with his belief that every
safeguard should, be employed to pre-
vent the presence of any impurity in
the products of the dairy The milk
now sold in st. Paul is richer and bet
ter than usual
