FENDER FOR STREET CARS.
City Trustees Witness More Tests Made
Yesterday.
This Time It Was the Hunter Ap-
pliance, Largely Used in
the East

The Electric Railway Company made
test yesterday of a street car fender
at Twenty-eighth and P streets. There
We're present Superintendent Shock and
City Trustees Leonard, Kent, Mckay
and Devine.
A suit of mans clothes had been
stuffed with straw for the purpose OF
testing the efficiency of the fender, but
it was hardly the thing, being so much
lighter than a flesh blood creature.
1t would rebound when struck by the
car and sometimes fall outside the
track.
The fender is what is known as the
Hunter patent. 1t is composed of sheet
iron straps made into stout, light
framework that operates in front of the
forward truck and beneath the platform
OF the car. A foot in front of the dash
board of the car is another perpendicu-
lar frame of light, flexible iron bands,
the purpose of which is to break the
force of the shock when the car strikes
person standing on the track. This
fender and the one beneath the car work
together automatically. When the
front one strikes a person the other
drops to the rails, ready to receive the
IdItl bOQy.
The front fender was set so low yes
terday that it did not allow the dummy
to pass under it, and dragged it along,
but after it was raised better results
We're obtained, the dummy being gath
cred up by the track-fender very neat
| ly.
Mr.. Hall, the gentleman representing
the Hunter fender, says there are l 400
of them in use on cars in Cincinnati,
and several hundred each in Cleve-
land, st. Louis, Dayton, Toledo, Mon
treal and other cities. He says 1t has
saved thus far 101 persons who would
otherwise have been killed or mangled,
and that not one of these persons has
sued a street car company for damages.
He states further that the Hunter fend-
er gave the best satisfaction to the San
Francisco Supervisors who expert
mented with score or more devices of
that character.
The Trustees who witnessed the ex-
pertinent did not say what they thought
of the fender. If tried again, the dummy
to be used should be stuffed with some
thing heavier than hay

QUESTIONS OF TIE DAY.
Discussions to Take Place During the
State Fair.
The Leading Orators cf the United
States to be Asked to Address
the People Here.

Several days ago the Record Union"
published letter from William H. Mills
or San Francisco to Edwin F. Smith,
Secretary of the State Board of Agri
culture, suggesting that during the
holding of the State Fair in this city in
September leading statesmen and ora
tors be invited to address the people on
special economic topics and theories.
The suggestion struck Mr.. Smith most
favorably, and he at once replied that
he would lay the matter before the board
at its next meeting, and had no doubt
that action would be taken which would
ensure a most interesting and enter
tanning series of speeches. Since then
Mr.. Smith has been in San Francisco
and talked over the proposition more
at length with Mr.. Mills and also with
such members of the board as he saw
and other public spirited men, all of
whom declared that the idea was an
excellent one and should be promoted.
The board will meet on Saturday next
and the matter will then be laid before
1t, when it will no doubt arrange a
programme for the speaking. 1t is not
intended that there shall be a series of
political meetings or debates, but rather
that distinguished and learned gentle
men shall address the people on some
of the leading questions which are now
most prominent before the people, such
as the free coinage of silver, the pro-
tective tariff, woman suffrage, etc.
The plan to be presented to the board
on Saturday is to have the speaking
take place at the Pavilion from 10 to II
a. m. on each day for two weeks, be-
ginning Monday, September 1th.
o,,xli
dates for President of the United States,
will be invited and urged to come to the
Capital of the State of California and
meet the people of the Pacific Coast
for there is no doubt that if those dis
tinguished gentlemen would so honor us
the people would come from far and
near to extend greetings and hearty
welcome to both. Numerous other men
of national reputation will be invited,
and some Of them will no doubt accept,
even if we are not so fortunate as to
secure the chiefs.
While in San Francisco Mr.. Smith
learned that Hon. Francis G.. Newlands,
Congressman from Nevada, would
cheerfully deliver an address on the
subject of bimetallism and how best TO
accomplish it. Mr.. Newlands made the
opening speech at the Free Silver Con-
vention in St Louis recently and it has
been pronounced masterpiece OF its
kind. There is no doubt that he would
draw an audience of from five to ten
thousand people to listen to his argu-
1nent on a subject which now so com
pietely engrosses the public mind.
Altogether the prospects are good for
one of the most novel, instructive and
entertaining features ever presented to
The people bv the State Fair directory.

FIGHTING BACK.
The Pressmen's Union Replies to the
State Typographical Union.

Sacramento Printing Pressmen's
Union, No 90, l. 2. p. u, held meeting
last night and unanimously adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas. 1t has come to the knoWl-
edge of the members of this union
through the public press that the State
Typographical Union, No. ., at its seS-
SION in Fresno on the 18th and 18th
insts. passed certain resolutions In which
the following language is used: 1t has
been brought to our notice that the Call
fornia State Printing Office has been
conducted in a manner that reflects dis
credit on the craft of this State; and
Whereas. the language used reflects
upon those members of this union now
employed in said State Printing Ofhce,
as well as upon members of the typo
graphical Union so employed; and
Whereas. We believe said resolutions
of the State Typographical Union to
have been inspired by malice and know
them to be untrue in substance; there
fore be it
Resolved. That we denounce the reso-
lutfons of the State Typographical
Union in so far as they relate TO the
conduct and management of the State
Printing Office, and Indignantly repel
the insinuation that the members of this
union therein employed are discredlt
TO the craft to which they belong.
Resolved, That we view with particu-
lar disfavor the action of any union or
ganization in making, through the IN
stigation of malice, without investiga-
ton. an unwarranted and gratuitous at
tack upon members of its own craft and
by implication at least upon those OF
kindred organizations.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolu-
1ions be forwarded to Governor James
Fl. Rudd, a copy to each of our sister
unions throughout the State, and copy
10 the press.

THROWN OUT.
Fast Driving Results in the Offender
Getting Hurt.

I. n. Lambert seemed to be trying
very hard last evening to meet with
what is too often termed IAN acci-
dent" and finally the thing met him at
Seventh and ] streets.
He was driving a horse hitched to a
heavy blackboard, or hay delivery wag-
on, and speeded the animal up and
down the main streets at a scorching
salt. Turning swiftly and short at
Seventh and j streets, the seat of the
wagon few out and threw Lambert
heavily to the pavement
Officer Talbot and others near by ran
to his assistance, and Lambert was
picked up in an unconscious condition.
He was taken home in the patrol wagon
and a physician called. 1t was found
that no bones were broken, and as the
injured man soon recovered conscious
ness the doctor said he was all right.
The horse was caught about half
mile east of the city, and neither he nor
the wagon were injured.

lection of their homes and property. Up
to the day he was stricken by death he
never relaxed his efforts for a mo-
ment.
Mr. Ohleyer had made several visits
to Washington to plead the cause of
the valley people before Congress, and
he proved such an able champion that
that body was brought to a clear un-
derstanding of the situation. He was
for a long time editor of the Sutter

arguments against the unrestricted op-
erations of hydraulic mines.

was awarded the first premium at the
