STRONG PROVOCATION.
COvagnaro, Who Thrashed Young
Hamlin, Guilty OF Battery.

G. Covagnaro, who conducts boot
black stand on Ninth street, between }
and K, was found guilty before Justice
Davis yesterday morning of having
committed battery upon the person or
Ed Hamlin on Tuesday last.
According to the evidence, Hamlin,
who is 10 years old, though remarka-
bly, small for his age, had contracted
habit of applying vile and insulting
language not only to Covagnaro, but
to others. Covagnaro became enraged
and threatened to lash the boy with
his whip if he persisted in the course.
This seemed to have no effect, and the
defendant kept his word, lashing young
Hamlin quite severely.
The evidence further showed that the
trouble originally arose from dis
pute over fifteen cents which COvagnaro
said the boy owed him, and which the
boy denied.
battery had been committed, the prov
ccation had been great, and young
Hamlin was severely lectured by the
court and informed that any further
action of his of a like nature to those
leading up to the case would initiate
against him and he would be tried on
charge of disturbing the peace, and
if convicted sentenced to term in the
County Jail.
Covagnaro will receive sentence this
morning

MASS MEETINGS.
Hangtown Crossing and Folsom to
Consider the MaCadamiZed Road.

A mass meeting has been called by
the committee appointed to receive sub
scriptions for building the proposed
macadamized road between Sacramento
and Folsom, to meet at Hangtown
Crossing tomorrow evening, when it
is expected the building fund will be
materially increased and labor for
grading subscribed.
A like meeting viii be held at Fol
som on Monday next, and by this means
il is expected to get the sense of the
reople residing along the route in ques-
ton regarding the proposed improve
ment.
on Wednesday last $500 was raised
by the committee in the town of Fol
som, and it is expected the country will
easily raise it's proportion of the funds
necessary.
Referring to the meeting at Hang
town Crossing, H r. Humphrey, the
well-known horticulturist of Mayhem
Station. writes:
1T is expected that one or more
members Of the State Bureau of High
ways will be present, as well as repre-
sentatives from the city, and 1t is in
tended to thoroughly discuss the best
methods and advisability of building
a permanent road between Sacramento
and Folsom"

ana the installation is now complete
The power transmitted is now being
used for manufacturing purposes as
Well as for lighting the city and running
the street railway. The power is mucn
cheaper than generated by steam, ana
1t is interesting to note that the steam
engine is fast disappearing from sac
ramento factories Among the estao-
HshmentS now using the power are
flour mills, box factories, machine shops
and hotels.
The largest consumer is the street
railway, which has over twenty-four
and one-half miles of single and seven
teen miles of double track, and oper-
ates thirty-two motor cars and trail
erS. The Southern Pacific Railway
shops employ a large number of mo-
tors for drawbridges and elevators IN
freight sheds. The Buffalo Brewing
Company is about to install five nom
synchronous motors to replace steam
engines which have been in use Tor
years, and expect to save 40 per cent.
of the present cost of operation by the
change.
The entire equipment was carried out
by the General Electric Company,
whose apparatus is exclusively en-
ployed. This plant is a complete illus
| tration of the possibilities of electric
transmission, every problem to be met
with in transmitting power over long
distances at high potentials and utiilz-
| ing it having been solved successfully.
| The best Indication of this success IS
| reflected in the value of the interest
paying obligations, the bonds of the
| Sacramento Electric Light and Power
| Company finding ready purchasers at
| par, although the plant has been in op-
GRAFTON less than one year.
