The committee waited on the Gov
ernor and obtained permission for the
Bersag aglieri Guard to carry arms in the
procession.
Mr. Gunther, for the Sacramento
Turn -Verein, informed the board that
the Turner's would turn out. They
wished to have a large float, on which
would be seated a number of chill
dren, with the active Turner's on foot
beside the wagon. They would turn
out anyhow, but would request the
committee to furnish the wagon.
The request was granted.
The question of a place for holding
the exercises arose next.
Mr.. Stephens moved that they be
held at the Plaza, as the coolest and
most suitable place, and Mr.. Wallis
seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously, and the Secretary in
structed to ask the Trustees for the use
cf the Plaza, and that the gardener be
instructed not to sprinkle it on the
morning of the Fourth.

Fine CELEBRATION ASSURED.
No Such Military and Civic Parade Seen
Here.
The Fireworks on the Fourth Will Far
Surpass Anything Sacramento
Has Ever Seen.

The Executive Committee of the
Fourth of July Committee held meet
ing last night at the Mayors office, a
full attendance being present.
A discussion of the state of the
finances was held, in view of various
appropriations asked for at the last
meeting, which could not at that time
be granted, the necessary funds not
having been collected.
In addition to the appropriations
made at that time, $50 was appropriated
for the use of the Literary Committee.
On motion of r. D. Stephens, the mon
ey appropria ted for the Horribles was
ordered taken out Of the subscriptions
OF private parties.
On his motion, the appropriation for
the wheelmen was increased to SlOO, to
come out of the private subscriptions
also.
On motion of w a. Anderson, S35
was recommended TO be set aside for
vocal music.
j. H hatcher moved to take UP the
matter of the other appropriations
asked for by the Parade Committee and
the Printing Committee.
Grand Marshal George G. McMullen
stated that it would cost SAC 80 for fir
ing salute of thirty nine guns. unless
the powder is donated.
Mr. Stephens said that the money
asked for the two appropriations spoken
of was in excess of what would be
needed. There were several matters
that were still unsettled and one of
them was the place where the exercises
would be held. The bicycle men, who
have rented the New Pavilion, refuse to
give it up until the morning of the
Fourth, and platform would have to
be put up then, if it is used. 1t has
therefore been proposed to put up
platform in the Plaza and hold the ex-
ercises there.
Mr. hatcher said that the object of
his motion was to have the appropria-
tiens for the necessary bills that have
been already incurred made, in order
that they might be secured before later
requests are provided for.
c. NJ. Harrison stated what had been
done by the Printing Committee in
sending posters throughout the county,
and made his estimate of what would
be needed to cover the remaining ex-
pense.
On motion of Mr.. Stephens, SS was ap-
propriated for ice and water along the
line of march and SAG 80 for firing
salute
On motion Of Mr.. Batcher, the appro-
priations of the Parade and Printing
Committees were deferred for the pres
ent.
The following programme of literary
exercises was announced by Chairman
Anderson of the Literary Committee:

Fire in Beetown.

Last Thursday night at midnight
the alarm of fire was given in Bee
town and on turning out from their
beds the good citizens discovered
flames in a barn and broomfactory
belonging to Samuel Fickner. Moth
ing could be done to stay the flames
and the building was soon reduced to
ashes; but good work was done in pro-
tecting buildings in close proximity
to the doomed structure. Flickner
had blind horse in the barn. The
halter had been cut in two and the
horse led out into the road before the
fire occurred: which went to show
that the man who set the ire had at
least p grain of humanity in his heart.
In dispatch to the Milwaukee SEN
tinel, Ed. Pollock of the Teller inti-
mates strongly that the saloon element
in Beetown fired the building

ting graphite on the chain and while
holding the bicycle up from the ground
and revolving the wheels rapidly, his

hand were cut off just above the first
joint. The unfortunate young man
was put under the influence of both
ether and chloroform and DR.. Fred
Strong cut away the ruined members.

Jack webb Has No Use For cyclones

Prisoners at the Jail inform the HER-

for the murder of Lily Binder at
British Hollow, exhibits the greatest
signs OF fear at the approach of m
electric storm. Other prisoners con-
fined at the county jail, hard up for
amusement to pass the tedious hours
away, fall in with the wheel in Webb's
head, and whenever dangerous storm
approaches they pretend to be sorely
afraid and nelp to throw Jack into a
highly nervous state over the prospect
OF immediate death. In his distress
he cries and prays aud takes on terri

soners feel almost as good as though
they had attended circus with a

and not much OF that. and that he
opposed surrenderng 70 them any
