THAT OFFER TO RRIRR
Trustees Devfne and Kent Refuse to
Give Names.

Trustees Devine and Kent Refuse to
Give Names.
Trustees Devine and Kent were inter-
viewed yesterday by a RECORD UNION
reporter in relation to the statements
made by them in the Board of Trustees
Monday night, that an attempt had been
made to bribe them by one Of the San
Francisco pump representatives.
Trustee Devine said he did not wish to
give the name of the man, as he had no
witnesses to the offer.
The man lo!lowedsme one dark night
down into the alley where I live" said
he, ''and just in front Of the house made
the offer lSI50). He said that he had been
instructed that it was the common GUS
tom, and made the offer with that under
standing.
II told him that if his pump was as
good az the others it should have equal
consideration at my hands, but l was not
yet so poor nor lost TO self-respect as to
accept bribe.
TO tell the truth, however, I did not
feel after that occurrence that | could
have voted for his pump anyway. 1 told
prominent member of the Grand jury
about it, and be advised me not to sneak
aboutIt, as 1t would be only my word
against that OF the other man, and I re-
membered Senator Biggy's experience.
Kent told me afterward that the same
man had made him an offer''
Trustee Kent said: Yes, one of the
San francisco men did make me an offer
OF $500. He came up to me on Second
street, near the Postal Telegraph Office.
There was no one near. / do not wish to
give his name, as it is only my word
against his, and of course he would DENY
1t. l DO not think it would be right.
either, as l do not know whether he is a
permanent agent OF the firm, one of the
firm, or a special agent for this one sale.
and who had no authorization from the
firm to make the offer. | should not con-
slider it fair in such case to injure their
business, as the publication OF the name
might operate against their selling pumps
10 other cities.
The same man made an offer to De-
vine, and, l think, to other members of
the board also. lie told me he had been
assured it was the customary thing in
such cases, and had been done in the past,
here and elsewhere. 1 told him the best
thing he could do was to pack up and
leave, for if his bid was likely to win l
should feel compelled TO expose his offer.

A SACRAMENTO INVENTION
1t is a Reversible socket Wrench o
Novel Character.

1t is q Reversible socket Wrench of
Novel Character.
E. E. Masters, an old citizen of Sacra-
mento, has received letters patent for a
reversible socket-wrench, a hand tool.
By its use from three-eighth-inch to a
seven-eighth Inch nut, or four different
sized nuts, as many sizes of lag screws,
or bore any hole from one-fourth to three
inches in wood, or drill the same sized
holes through any metal.
With screwdriver biz it will turn in
any screw. With point in the center
of the socket and a trammei point on the
handle, true circle from five inches TO
three feet can be struck. BY displacing
the square cylinder in the wrench, an
octagon or other shape can be substi-
tuted.
The direction of the rotation of the
socket and toe may be reversed at will,
and by means of uniting handle and
head compound joint is formed at that
point.

barkeeper at Twentieth and @ streets.
Brady was drunk on Sunday evening,
and when put out of the saloon by wit
ness pulled pistol on him. Witness

pistol was taken from him. Brady was
angry because witness would not give
him anything more to drink.
Mrs. Hensler, who owns the saloon.
testified that Brady was drunk and She
told the barkeeper not to give him any
more liquor, and when he became abusive
atterward, to put him out of the saloon.
Brady said he did not know anything
about the trouble and remem bered moth
ing of it. He had drank nothing before
since last December. He picked up the
pistol that morning and put it in bis
pocket and forgot about it. Never car
ries pistol.
Officer Talbot, who arrested Brady,
testified that he was drunk, but knew
perfectly well what he was doing and

by Devine. He said that although he
spoke against the ordinance when it was
passed, he was recorded as voting for it.
He moved at the time to place the market
on street and thought it was carried.
Some people. he understood, had been
punished for violating the present ordi-
nance.
Leonard was opposed to letting every
one sell wood all over the streets, but
favored market place down town some
where. The farmers would like to have
such market in a convenient place. He
wanted to see them sell their wood here
and spend their money here.
Devine wanted to see the farmers, who
spend their money here, have the privi-
lege of selling their wood here.
Kent said that one of his neighbors,
who brought wood from the mountains
and cut it up and stored it on his lot, was
arrested the other day and fined for try
ing to make living by selling it. There
had been too much legislation against the
farmers.
On motion of Devine the matter was
laid over till Monday night, and the
Street Committee was appointed to look
up suitable place for a market
MRS. M'CARTY's COW.
Leonard said that Mrs. McCarty COM
pIalned that her boy was herding her
COW on Mr.. Ryan's lawn, when the
Poundmaster rode between him and the
cow and took it away to the pound. She
had made the same complaint several
times in the past few months and said
that, although she was poor, she had sew
eral times been obliged to pay 81. He
thought that the matter should be inves-
tigated.
Devine said he did not think that south
OF Il street, where there were only few
residents, cows should be taken from
those having them in charge. He hoped
that the matter would be Investigated.
Pennish said he sympathized with the
poor woman, but he knew from early
experience that the herding of cows was
a nuisance south of r street.
Kent thought that COWS, horses and
goats should be allowed to run at large
on the other side of the leYee, so that the
people would want to have the locality
Improved in order to get rid of them.
Leonard moved that the Chair appoint
committee to investigate, and the Chair
appointed Devine.
Devine offered a resolution prohibiting
the Funded Debt Commission from re-
deemlng any more bonds without per-
mission Of the Board of Trustees, which
was carried, ToZer and Bragg voting no.
Ihe board then adjourned.

Dallas has Captured, Sure Enough,
the Corbett-- -Fitzsimmons
Mill.

The money is all up and the pa

and the fight between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons is an assured fact.
Dan Stuart has made every ar
rangement to have the fight come
off the latter part of October.
Pinkerton police have been spok-
en- for to come to Texas to keep a
look out for thugs and pick-pock-
cts.
The price Of admission has been
fixed General admission will cost
$40, reserved seats 500 and private
boxes, holding five persons 5000. An
amphitheatre covering a space of
400 feet square will be erected at
some point near the fair grounds
where ten street car lines intersect.
The building Will be of rough lum
Der throughout except the writing
furniture for the newspaper men.
There is talk of having several
exhibitions of glove contests dur
ing the carnival, and have all the
celebrities of the fstic ring match
ed and in sparring trim.
The two men will come te Texas,
Galveston perhaps, and train for
the fray
1t is estimated that the crowd
that will attend will be the largest
ever gathered to witness a similar
bout,
Brady said that Corbet was de-
lighted when Texas was agreed on
for the contest as he had been there
with his show and liked it and the
people.
Corbett expects to train down to
1870, and in this fight weight will not
be so much required, as Fitzsim-
mons will not be able to 60 above
that notch.
The reporters and all editors of
newspapers who wish to attend will
be given free passes says Manager
Stuart.
If the Governor Of Texas has any
intention of interfering with the
fight, it is time now and the proper
time too, to open his head before
the expense of arranging the build
ings for the bout is made.
