WITHOUT WARNING.
Theodore Demins Suddenly and Fatally
Stricken by Heart Disease.
The Death-Stroke Comes Upon Him
While in the Act of Unharness-
ing His Horse.

The community was painfully shock
ed yesterday when it became generally
known that Theodore Deming, we'll
known and popular citizen, had died
suddenly at his home at Twenty-first
and w streets on the preceding even
ing.
Mr.. Deming had been down town un-
til late in the afternoon, and reached
home in his buggy about. 6 o'clock. He
had taken off his horses bride and
was proceeding to unharness the ami
NAL when a faintness overcame him
and he sat down. A man employed
about the place called Mrs Deming,
and she hastened to the barn only to
find her husband breathing his last.
Heart failure had come upon him sud
denly and without warning. He had
not been feeling entirely well for a
week or more, but did not imagine
there was anything serious the mat
ter. Heart disease has been singularly
fatal in Mr.. Deming's family, his broth
ers and sisters having all died from that
cause.
Theodore Deming was one of the sub
stantial citizens of this city, and was
greatly esteemed. Although quiet and
unostentatious, he was a man of pub
lie spirit and always manifested a
deep interest in everything that affect
ed the welfare of the city. He was a
rative of Mishawaka, Ind, and go
years of age. He came to California in
1So5, and resided in Yolo County for
several years, and leaves large landed
interests there. From there he removed
to Lake County, where he lived until
1879. when he came to Sacramento.
Since living here he had been en-
gagged in fruit growing near Courtland,
and was also interested in mining near
Etna, Siskiyou County He was a
brother of the late Mrs. Charles Crocker
and leaves a wife and four daughters
Mrs. Louis M. Schwan of New York
City and Mabel, Daisy and Ella Dem
ing. The Misses Deming were all abb
sent from the city at the time their
father was so suddenly stricken, but
arrived yesterday.
The funeral will take place at noon
on Tuesday next, from the family res
idence, and the interment will be pri
vate. Colonel c. F. Crocker, First Vice
President of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, and William H Crocker, nephews
of the deceased, will be here to attend
the funeral

A SPEEDY COLT.
Willard Gardner's Young PAGER Goes
Half Mile Under I:O7.

Willard Gardner'S Young PAGER Goes
a Half-NIiIe Under I:O7.
Willard Gardner, lessee of Agricult-
ural Park, has a colt in training that
bids fair to create a sensation in pac-
ing circles the coming summer. In a
race gotten up between some of the
horsemen who have colts in training at
the park this youngster on Saturday
won three half-mile heats in the re-
markable time of :06%, 1:07 and 1 :07%
The race was the result of a discus
sion that took place a few weeks ago
over the relative speed of some of the
colts that are being prepared for the
summer campaign, among which are
several good ones beside that of Gard
ner's.
The race was between Nicolps colt,
the Goddard mare and Gardner's colt,
and as the speed of these promising
youngsters had become pretty widely
known there was quite a gathering of
admirers of the sport to witness it.
Frank Tryon held the reins over Gard
ner's colt, Charles Eddy piloted the
Nieoll PAGER, and Thomas Holmes the
Goddard mare. The judges We're Frank
Dupoister, c. F. Taylor and Isaac
Christie, and the starting was done by
Jersey Jack"
Gardner's colt must be a phenomenon
if what is said of him is true. He is by
Wilkesdale, his dam is a Patchen
mare, and he was bred by Frank
Lowell It is claimed that the colt,
though years old this spring, has been
in training but three months, and that
in his work he has covered the half
mile in LOS. The fact that in Satur-
days race he paced three heats within
only one second between the fastest and
slowests time, shows that the colt not
orly has speed but gameness and en-

THE INDICTMENTS INVALID.
So II is Claimed in the Cases Of the
Officers Indicted.
Judge Hinkson Will Hear Arguments
on the Points Raised, on
Saturday Next.

In Judge Hinkson's court on SATURDAY
the cases of the election officers OF the
First Precinct of the First Ward, who
were indicted by the Grand Jury, were
called. Attorneys c. T. Jones, A. j.
Bruner and w. A. Anderson, their coun-
sci, moved the court to set aside the in
dictments, and in support thereof ad-
Vanced the following grounds:
First-That the said indictment is not
found, indorsed and presented as pre-
scribed in the Penal Code.
Second-That the defendants were in
dicted under the provisions of Section
Al of Title of the Penal Code, and the
Grand Jury in considering the accusa-
tlon upon which the indictment was
found, summoned each of said defend
ants as witnesses before them to testify,
and they did testify before said Grand
Jury concerning the offenses, the sub
5ect matter of this Indictment, in viola
tion of Section 64 of the Penal Code, and
in violation of Section 13, Article l., of
the Constitution of the State of Cali
fornia, also in violation of Amendment
V. of the Constitution Of the United
States.
Third-Because the Grand Jury which
found and presented said indictments
was not a legally constituted and au-
thorized Grand Jury. That said Grand
Jury was not drawn and summoned for
the year in which the alleged indict-
ment was found.
In case this motion should be denied,
defendants counsel have also presented
q demurrer to the indictment upon
these grounds:
The Indictment does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a public offense.
That the indictment does not conform
TO the requirements of Sections 951, 952
and 954 of the Penal Code That more
than one offense is charged in the in
dictment inasmuch as it is alleged that
John Doe at the following place afore-
said unlawfully represented to said
board of election officers and claimed
his name to be William Anderson, and
then and there under such name fraud
ulently cast a ballot and vote, he not
being entitled to vote at such election
or polling place; and further charges
that James Nix, at the polhng-pla
aforesaid, represented to said election
officers and claimed his name to be
George Smith, and under such name of
George Smith fraudulently cast a ballot
and vote, said George Smith then being
dead; and further charges a large num-
Der of other offenses, much in like man
ner, each of which constitute in itself a
public offense.
Counsel held that the court has no
jurisdiction of the subject matter.
Judge Hinkson set Saturday next, the
2lst, as the time for hearing arguments
on the points raised.

THE sUPREMEsT DUTY.

It is gratifying to find the religious
press of the State taking strong ground
for the improvement of the public school
system. We may have great industrial
prosperity, we may build immense facto'
ries, we may erect large and costly church
es, we may found strong colleges and
universities, but If we continue to neglect
the supremest duty Of making efficient
pubIie schools. there cannot come the
highest glory to the commonwealth or tho
true elevation and uplifting Of the people.
We are glad to print in full elsewhere,
the Biblical Recorders appeal for earnest
and united action to better these schools
upon which depend the great masses of
the people for education
The public school is the mud-sill Of our
progress and development as State, as
well as the foundation upon which must
rest our universities and colleges. The
time was when all those interested in
higher education were not moved by dill
igence to promote the public schools.
There was Il notion that the churches or
the parents ought to prepare the boys and
girls for college. Inasmuch as most pa
rents and churches neglected to do this,
there was no preparation for college eX-
cept for the few, and the attendance at
the higher institutions was necessarily
small The attendance upon the colleges
and the universities will be measured by
the efficiency of the public schools. If
they were actuated by no higher motive
than selfshness, the professors in colleges
and the friends of those institutions ought
to unite with all others in stimulating
a deeper and wider interest in the public
schools But we do not believe that those
who are specially interested in higher ed
ueation are animated by selfish motives.
but that they are patriotic men who real
ize that without the education of it's pe0-
pie no State can fulfill its mission.
There is no ground for conflict between
our State institutions and colleges and
the public schools. They are interdepend-
ent. The public schools need the help Of
those above them; the higher institutions
cannot live without a strong public school
foundation. There is abundant work
for all to do, and the State needs to
foster and strengthen every agency for
the.education Of the people. We are too
poor not to educate We are toe far be
hind to take any backward step,
