THE "NABOBs."
How the Gentlemen Sportsmen Do Not
Destroy Game.

Destroy Game.
A great deal has been said about how
poor market hunters are Disseminated
against by the game law and the ma
bobs'' favored. Field Sports" finds
that the Country Club, with a member
ship of 125, averaged for the entire sea-
son just closed 311a head of game to
each member, or eight birds month
The money paid out by the members
to employees and other poor persons di-
rectly benefited amounted to $4,000
: 1t cost the ''hoggish nabobs" upward of
So for every bird they bagged.
The Country Club is composed of busi-
ness and professional men who are we'll
to-do and have plenty of time and every
other facility for indulging in cunning. If
it's members could not average 81 birds
each during the four months season,
wherein have they interfered with the
market shooters? A market hunter
who could not average at least 100 birds
either ducks or quaiD per day for the
two months of the Misunderstanding
season, or $4,000 birds. could not make
decent wages.
Ell Dorado and Placer are good quail
counties, have gun. clubs and many
first-class wing shots, yet it is safe to
say that in either county there is not
a gentleman sportsman who can count
up of $50 birds bagged by him during the
four months Of the open season.
It is really unnecessary to pursue the
subject or to cite facts like these, for
they are well understood by ninety
per cent. of the people. The game law
has no clause in it that is a hardship
on anyone and all who know anything
about the subject so understand it.

Congressman johnson and the Miners
Association Bill.
False Reports Sent to the Coast in
Regard to His Speech Before
the Committee.

On Friday morning last the Exam
iner'' and Chronicle published dis
patches from Washington in which it
was stated that on the previous day
Congressman Grove L. Johnson, in a
speech before the House Committee on
Rivers and HarboTs, had opposed the
bin presented by TREY L. Ford on be-
half of the Miners Association for the
building of restraining dams.
Yesterday the following telegram was
received at this office:
WASHINGTON ID. CO, Feb. 16, 1896
Record Union" Sacramento. - The
statement that I opposed the appropri-
ation of $3.50 900 for restraining dams
is an Internal lie Examiner" and
Chronicle" reporters assured me they
would correct the error in to-day's pa
pers. Did they do so? If not, you may
publish this telegram. They were not
present at the committee meeting, and
sent a false report Irom secondhand
authority. GROVE L. JOHNSON.
The San Francisco Chronicle" of
yesterday publishes the following cor
rection:
Representative Johnson claims that
wrong impression has been had as to
his remarks before the Rivers and Har-
bcrs Committee last Thursday on his
bill! appropriating $3.50 600, to be used
with a similar amount appropriated by
the State, for building restraining dams
on the Sacramento and Feather Rivers.
The information given to the press of
what transpired in the committee meet
ing was, in effect, thar Mr. Johnson OBJ
jected to the bill. This, Mr.. Johnson
says, is not fact. Instead of objecting
to it he advocated its passage before the
committee. Mr.. Johnson explains that
he did tell the committee that hydraulic
mining had been outlawed by a decree
of the California courts, but it has been
carried on under the Caminetti bill,
passed by the last Congress. Inasmuch
as Congress had permitted hydraulic
mining, he said he told the committee
that he thought the Government should
take care Of the debris that was natu-
rally the result of this mode of mining.
He saw no reason to oppose it, and said
that he would most assuredly vote for
it and work for it's passage"

fire could be reached, when by quick
work it was extinguished.
A hole about two feet wide and twelve
feet long was made in the balloon, but
this fact did not discourage the plucky
Weston. The Eot air was mostly above
the hole, and being satisfied the balloon
would carry him up all right he gave
the order to let it go.
The balloon shot rapidly upward, and
as soon as he saw it was going all right
he began his mid-air gymnastics, hang
ing by his toes from the slender wooden
bar, etc. When about thousand feet
from the ground he detached his para
chute. 1t opened out after descending a
hundred feet or so, and he landed safely
about three hundred yards from where
he started. The collapsed balloon struck
a moment later almost in the spot where
he alighted.

DARING ASCENT.
Aeronaut Weston Went Up, Though

Aeronaut Weston Went Up, Though
His Balloon Had a Hole In 1t.
The announcement that Professor
Weston would make his second balloon
ascension yesterday at Oak Park
coupled with warm and delightful
weather, attracted an immense crowd
of people to that airy and charming
rural resort. The street car company
had every car out, and they were
loaded to the guards all the afternoon.
When the balloon had been inflated
and just as the daring aeronaut was
ready to have it cut loose, the lower end
was swept over the oven where the hot
cir was generated, and as the great air
ship surged and tugged in its effort to
get away, smoke began to issue from a
spot about ten feet from the ground,
where a spark had lodged In an instant
the fire burnt through the cloth and the
flame began to mount upward. Every
body thought the balloon was doomed,
but Weston had it pulled down until the

The California Delegation VIII Work

AAAC OaAAAOI1lA1t OClC&dllOu w III w OTh
for a Big Militia Appropriation.
Adjutant- General Barrett has re-
ceived answers from the members of
the California delegation in Congress
to the circular letter sent out by him
some time ago to them, asking them to
do what they could toward getting a
larger appropriation for the militia of
this State.
This was done in accordance with a
concerted line of action by the heads of
the militia organizations of the differ
ent States for the purpose of influencing
Congress to increase the appropriation
for militia maintenance
AT present the appropriation for the
entire militia forces of the United
States is only 100000 annually. and it
is desired to increase it to 81 100000.
Of the present appropriation California
receives only about 81 800, and the in
crease would raise it to ST, 900.
The answers received show that the
whole California delegation are in fa-
vor of the increase, and will do their
best to help the attainment of it, as they
feel that we are behind the age in the
equipment of the National Guard.

Fred Ingham to Join Forrest and ver-
helm at Folsom.
Fred Ingham was taken before Judge
Hinkson on Saturday for sentence, hav-
irs beSn convicted of receiving stolen
goods with full knowledge of the fact
that thty were stolen.
Judge Hinkson said it was painful
duty to have to order sent to the State
Prison a young man of respectable and
worthy parents and who had been we'll
reared and educated here. But for the
recommendation of the jury he would
infiict severe penalty, but under the
circumstances would fix the term of
Imprisonment at two years

TOM AND JACK.
They Took Fifteen Dollars From a
Chinaman's Inside Pocket.

Tom Woods, an ex-convict, and Jack
Early, a one-time pugilist, stand a good
chance of being sent by Judge Grant to
serve a term in Folsom State Prison.
They met a Chinaman Saturday af-
ternoon near Washington and, probably
being opposed to cheap labor, or, in
fact, to labor of any kind, they con-
cluded to equalize the currency ques-
tion by keeping the money at home.
Early caught the Chinaman and held
him while Woods claimed seignorage on
what he had in his pockets, and took
the whole, amounting to $15.
The Chinaman, not coinciding with
the views of his antagonists on the
money question, told some citizens of
the occurrence, and they pursued the
two men and caught them on the trestle
and lodged them in Jail, after the Chi
naman had identified them.

THE YoLO DOODLE.
To Protect Its Rights. Wells, Fargo &
Co. Sues on Harmens' Notes.

Suit has been commenced by Wells,
Fargo & Co. against J. P. Harmens,
alias Karl Herman, by Attorney
Charles 7. Jones, for the purpose of
securing the company in its posses
sion of the notes held by Harmens
against certain persons in San Fran
cisco for moneys lent. The money be-
longed to the company, and it naturally
wants to get it when the notes fall due.
Harmens' examination on the charge
of secreting lost or stolen money is set
for tomorrow in Justice Tsenry's court.
1t is said that Jack Brady, who helped
Browning rob the overland train in
Yolo and plant the money near Har-
mems camp, will be brought down to
testify-if not at the examination, at
least at the trial. Harmens has en-
ployed F. S. Sprague to defend him.

MANY MECHANICS.
The Railroad Company Increasing Its
Force of Shopmen.

Last December when some five hun
dred men were laid off at the railroad
shops, II. J. Small, Superintendent of
Construction, stated that by March it
was likely the several departments
would again be running with their full
compliments of men. 1t looks now as
if such will be the case.
Gradually men have been put ON until
now there are some /, 200 mechanics at
work, and orders are in for work soon
to be commenced that will doubtless
call for at least 800 more.
Under a law of Congress all freight
cars must be provided with automatic
couplings within two years. This will
necessitate the making and putting in
of some 10000 couplings, at a cost to
the company of about S300,000 This,
with the construction of a number of
special coal and oil-tank cars, will make
a great deal of extra work

He was a competent newspaper man
and a gentleman, one who received his

had many warm friends in this city and
elsewhere whom the news of his death
causes sincere sorrow.

Fashionable Dogs.

4 few days ago mau walking in
one Of the most fashionable streets Of
Paris came across lost dog. It was
small toy terrier, and was clad in
an elaborate coat trimmed with costly
furs. In this coat was a tiny pocket
containing handkerchief bordered
with exquisite lace, worked mono.
gram, and coronet Round the
dogs neck was a gold and jeweled
bangle, and his coat WAS fastened by a
brooch blazing with rubies and dia-
monds. 1t is quite the fashion among
the pretty and smart women Of Paris
to get up their pet dogs III expensive
and elaborate costumes, to cover
them with Jewels, to engrave cards
with their names, and to drench their
trembling little bodies with the new
est and most pungent perfumes.
The dogs in this country are scarce
~ So pampered. Yet there is an
Italian greyhound in town which looks
like piece of Dresden china, and
wears a favn- colored coat, tailor-ro ode,
trimmed with fur and bnttoned Hown
the back with brass buttons. Sappbo,
as she is poetically named, wears
Dresden aud Vatican ribbons in deli
cate hues Such, IN briet Is her raj
ment that when sue goes to take the
air she is the envy Of all the little
