SHE HAD TO GET A WHEEL.
He Would Ride and She Wouldn't be
Left Alone.

They had been very happy for a long
time; ever since they were married,
Quite seventeen years ago. And not a
cloud had darksned the life of-let US
call them Lord and Lady A. Young
and handsome, they had lived for each
others love, and in their life of roses
sweet bud had blossomed-thetr little
Eva, who was now fast growing into a
fine girl of 10.
Then why was Lady A. unhappy on
that Monday morning? Because it
seemed to her that since her husband
and Eva had taken to bicycling (Which
exercise Lady A. had looked upon with
contempD her life had been different
She thought that she was, and she felt
alone.
1t was a fine morning, that Monday
morning. Lady A. had seen the young
father and his bright daughters fly
away like arrows on their sparkling
machines, and Hstlessly she returned to
her room.
Here Lady A. rang her bell To her
maid she said briefly: Tell Jenkins to
have the brougham round quickly
This happened at 10 o'clock. At a
quarter past Lady AS carriage was
seen rolling in the direction of one of
our fashionable schools.
A fortnight later, when Lord A and
his daughter were standing on the
steps Of the front door, ready to start
for their morning spin in the park,
Lady A. appeared in the hall attired
in the most correct of tailor-made cy-
cling habits.
John" she said addressing the
groom, bring the third bicycle"
A cry of happiness from Eva, a look
Of gratitude from her husband: it was
all that could be expressed in the pres
ence of the servants.
But Lady A. felt that she was re-
warded for her decision, which proves
that many of us could be happier were
we to mold some of our opinions on the
lines of the times we live in.-Gentle-
woman.

CAFFERO FINED.
Private Business Not an Excuse for
Not Appearing as Juror.

Louis Caffero was asked yesterday
morning by Judge Hinkson to explain
why he was not present in court on
Monday to answer to his name on the
venire of jurors.
On Tuesday Judge Hinkson received
a telegram from him to the effect that
he was in Ell Dorado County trying to
sell a mine and that he could not be
present.
In response to the question of the
Judge, Cafferos attorney, Charles F..
Gardner, stated that Caffero had on
Sunday night received a telegram from
San Francisco to the effect that a buyer
had been found for his mine and that
he must put it in condition for inspec-
ton. He therefore left for Ell Dorado,
but meeting John c. Catlin on the road
at REUTERS, asked him to explain the
situation to Judge =HinkSon.
Judge Hinkson answered that he
would proba bly, have excused Caffero
under the circumstances if he had called
on him before going away and explained
the situation, but he could not accept
such an excuse now. He should therefore
fine him SO for contempt and give him
till to-day to pay the fine, otherwise he
would have to go to Jail one day for

9HE EASTERN PEACH CROP.
Will Soon be In Market and is Unusually
Heavy.
California Has the Pull az Yet-Yes-
terday's Fruit Shipment Was
Seventeen Cars.

The fruit shippers of the city are well
pleased with the prices received for re-
cent conslgnments of pears, some of
winch brought in New York 81 04 a
box. 1t is believed that from now until
Ihe end OF the season good prices will
prevail.
AdVlces received by the Producers
exchange from its Eastern agent state
that the peach crop of New Jersey and
delaware will be unprecedentedly
heavy, and that from 10000 to 6,OO0,-
OUU baskets will be marketed as against
1,OOOO00 last year. They are advised
that the crop will be placed in the mar
ket about the 1st of August, and are
cautioned against making extensive
peach shipments after that time.
Like adviceS have been received by
other fruit shippers in the city, though
q difference of opinion exists as to the
effect the heavy crop will have on late
varieties of California peaches. Mr..
Hechtman OF Porter Bros. thinks the
compeution will not injure California
shipments to any great extent, owing to
The fact that much of the crop will be
handled by Eastern canneries.
The Georgia crop will not exceed 35O
carloads, and is already being put on
4he market. 1t, however, cuts no figure,
as 1t is of a very inferior quality, both
IN size and flavor, owing to the extreme
ay late and cold season.
Receipts from down the river yester-
day amounted to $3.50 boxes, of which
amount the steamer Acme brought q, ,4O0
Rnd the Modoc $500. About two-thirds
Of the fruit was pears, the remainder
being tragedy prunes and plums. Fif-
teen cars were loaded from the two
boats as against seventeen ON Tuesday.
Sol. Runyon, one of the largest grow
ers IN the Isleton district, and who is in
the city, stated that ON his orchard
alone there are more than 100 carloads
of pears.
The fruit shipments over the mount
aims yesterday amounted to thirty-one
carloads. of which one-fourth of a car
load was apricots, nine of peaches,
seven and one-fourth of plums, thirteen
and one-fourth of pears and one and
one-fourth Of mixed varieties. OF this
number Chicago gets ten carloads, New
York six, Boston six, Montreal one,
Minneapolis one, Kansas City one and
other points six.

REWARD FOR A MURDERER.
John ACkley Wanted in Placer County
for a Foul Crime.
His Cold-Blooded Murder Of B.
Cobrnich Near George
town Last May.

The 10Th day of May Of the present
year was one which will be long remem
bered because of the atrocious crime
committed on that day by Durham, the
Santa Clara murderer. Yet it was not
the only murder committed in cold blood
in the State on that day, and while
the enormity of his crime overshadows
that of the other, it was not more
cold blooded or cruel.
On that day in Placer County, a few
miles from Georgetown, Ell Dorado
County, M. Cobrnich, miner, was shot
and killed in his own cabin by John
Ackley, and like Durham, the murderer
has never been apprehended.
John Ackley, Cobrnich and man
named French had been partners in a
mine, but the partnership was dis
solved by Cobrnich buying the interests
of his partners for SO. Bad blood had
existed for some time between Ackley
and Cobrnich, and after the ratification
of the sale of the mine the former in
vited the latter outside to settle the
difficulty. Cobrnich refused to have any
trouble, and shortly afterWard returned
to the mine.
Subsequently French and Ackley Wis
tied Cobrnich's cabin, which they broke
open and commenced carrying out arti-
cles which had been included in the bill
OF sale made out to him. Cobrnich ap-
peared about that time and protested
against their action. He and French re-
manned in the cabin talking the matter
over, while Ackley stepped outside,
picked up Frenchs rife, and without a
word shot and killed Cobrnich. After
the murder he at once started in the di-
rection of Truckee, taking with him
French's rifle, and despite the efforts Of
the officers he has eluded capture up to
the present time.
E. D. McCabe, Private Secretary to
Governor Budd, yesterday received a
letter from w. c. Conroy, Sheriff of
Placer County, enumerating the facts
in the case, and requesting that a suit
able reward be offered by the Governor
for the arrest and conviction Of Ackley.
After examination into the matter the
Governor concluded to honor the re-
quest, and accordingly offered reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction of
the murderer.
Ackley is % years old, feet or s
inches high, weighs 140 pounds, has
black hair, dark gray eyes, much sunk
en-, eyebrows heavy and dark, a large
Roman nose, and is dark complexioned.
His features are coarse.

KILLED THE HORSE.
Goodness of a MOtOrman Saves the
Passengers From Injury.

Yesterday morning the motorman of
q G-street car saw runaway saddle
horse approaching his car on Ninth
street.
The rear part of the car was filled
with women, and, realizing instantly
that it was impossible to avoid a col
lision with the frightened animal, and
also that if he attempted to go ahead
the horse would probably jump into the
rear part of the car and kill or injure
some of the passengers, with great
presence of mind he put on the brake
and stopped the car in such a way that
the horse struck 1t in the center andwas
instantly killed. The horse belonged TO
some japanese at Ninth and G streets.

was taking a sleep on the main line Of
the railway track near the end of the

Ian, and found the sleeper stretched
