a chance that a second disaster would
enSue in the course Of time This must
be guarded against, so the railroad
company brought down carload after
carload of huge granite blocks from
the quarries at Rocklin and proceeded
to riprap not only the place that had
been washed out. but some distance
each side of 1t, making over 1,OoO feet
in all.
The loud explosions, sounding like
the firing of heavy guns, that have been
so frequently heard by our citizens for
the past two months came from this
spot The great blocks We're shattered
by dynamite and placed on the outer
face of the levee on top of brush that
was Laid down. The work was very
carefully and thoroughly done. A
ditch -four feet deep was dug outside
the base of the levee into the original
ground, and was filled with rock. On
top of this foundation the rock was
thrown on the brush with which the
levee was faced and up the side OF the
levee clear to the top. The rock is
four feet thick at the bottom, and the
thickness of the casing dimtnfShes
gradually until the top is reached.
This riprapping effectually protects
the face of the levee, both from the
pressure of the water and the wash or
waves, and it is safe to predict that
when the levee is once thoroughly set
tied it will take higher water than Sac
ramento has ever yet known to damage
it materially. Willow brush has also
been planted on the inside of the new
portion, which will probably grow up
into a thicket In a year or two and
help hold the ground together.

GLUECK.sCHELD CASE.
The Plaintiffs Testimony All In
Non.Suit Denied.

The testimony for the plaintiff in Mrs.
Fred Gluecks case against Adolph
Scheld for $50. 900 damages for the
death Of her husband-who was killed
by an accidental shot from Scheld's pis-
tol-was concluded In Department One
of the Superior Court yesterday, Judge
Prewett of Placer presiding, and the de-
fense will probably finish to-day.
Mrs. Glueck and her little sevenyear-
old son were the chief witnesses yester-
day. The boy testified that when
Schelds pistol was discharged 1t was
pot pointing to the ground, but was
on level with his (the witnessO father
who stood off at one side watching the
target shooting. He said that Scheld
first pointed the weapon downward and
then raised it, when the cartridge went
off.
z. A. Nicolaus, who was with Scheld
testified that he warned Glueck not to
stand where he did. Scheld's weapon
would not revolve and he pointed il
toward the ground while he endeavored
to fix it, The pistol went off accident
ally, the bullet hit the ground, glanced
and struck Glueck, who was standing
angles.
DR.. G. A. White and J. H. Judge both
testified that Glueck assured them after
he was shot that it was done accident
ally and that only himself was TO blame
for it.
When the prosecution announced
that their case was closed, Albert M
Johnson, one of Schelds counsel, moved
for non-suit ON the ground that the
plaintiffs own witnesses had testified
that the shooting was purely accidental
| and that there was no testimony at all
going to show that Scheld had been
| careless in handling his pistol.
Judge Prewett denied the motion and
General Hart then briefly stated the
defendants side Of the case to the jury
| j. H. Judge was recalled and testified
again that Glueck told him while he
nursed the wounded man, that he was
himself to blame, that Scheld's pisto
went off accidentally, and that he had
been warned to keep farther away.
DR.. G. c. Simmons testified to The
same effect, and that Glueck said hi
had been cautioned not to stand whery
he did. Glueck lived from about
o'clock p. m. until 8 the next morning
| The case will be resumed at 10 o'clool
this morning.
1t was stated yesterday I'm the Rec
ord Union" that it was understood thai
Mrs. Glleck had refused to accept al
offer Of money made by Scheld, bud
Isaac Joseph, one Of Mrs. Glueck's at
torneys, said yesterday that this was 6

TURNER AND LEWIS,
Both Men Training Hard for Their
Coming Fight.

Sporting men are anticipating a. very
| spirited and well-contested glove match
between Charley Turner, Stockton's s
star boxer, and Billy Lewis Of this CITY.
which is to take place at the Metro
politan Theater early in January. The
contest will be under the MANAGEMENT
of local organization known as the
California Club.
Both men are reported to he train
ing faithfully, Turner at Stockton and
Lewis at the race track in this CITY.
Turner has been before the public for
some years, having first come into
prominence by walloping Bill Hall in
this city. He belongs to the light mid
dleweight division, but has lowered the
colors of many bigger men than him
self. His friends say that he has not
lost any Of his speed, skill, nor staying
powers.
Lewis was reared in this CITY and
| fought several matches at the Theater
Comique before he left here for Texas.
He was even then a hard nut for pugs
to crack, but they say he has wonder
fully improved since. Among other
crackajacks over whom he has OBJ
| tanned decisions is Jim Williams of
Salt Lake, who recently chal-
lenged Dan Creedon, the Australian.
Lewis and Turner are each five feet
seven inches in hight, and are well
matched as to size and weight.
The managers of the club state that
the fight will be on the square,; that
no pains viii be spared to make it a
success, and that a responsible person
will be selected as referee. Among
those spoken of for the place are Pro-
fessor Thomas Dwyer, Henry Gallagher
and James Goeghan, the bookmaker
With any one of these men in the ring
it is believed a square decision will be
given.

VOTING FOR PRESIDENT.
The Electors Will Meet Here On the
l1th of January.

An old provision Of the Revised Stat
utes caused the Minneapolis Penny
Press" of the 10th of this month to
make the statement:
Yesterday William Mckinley was
duly elected President of the United
States by the action of the different
State Electors"
The Constitution leaves it to Congress
to determine the day on which the Pres
identtal Electors shall give their votes.
The law of 1S45 provided that the Elec
tors for each State should meet and
give their votes on the first Wednesday
Of December. This date stands In the
Revised Statutes, edition Of 1878; and
that is what has probably misled our
contemporary and produced its prema
ture announcement
The law of 1S45, however. has been
superseded by the Act of February 8.
1897, which will be be found in volume
] of the Supplement to the Revised
Statutes, on page 525. This provides
that the Electors of each State shall
meet and give their votes on the second
Monday i'm the January next following g
their appointment at such place in each
State as the Legislature of SUCH State
shall direct.
The certified returns for each State
are transmitted by messenger to the
President Of the Senate, or to the Sec
retary Of State, in case the President
Of the Senate is not in Washington. On
the second Wednesday Of February at
/ o'clock the two houses of Congress
meet in joint session in the hall of Rep
resentatives> The President of the Sen
ate opens the certificates, and after the
votes have been counted by tellers, two

OF the Senate. Then, and not until then.
