BEATEN WITH A CLUB.
Patrick Cunningham Laid Up With a
Battered Head.

Patrick Cunningham is laid up with
a battered head, if not a broken skull,
as the result of fight he had at Fifth
and X streets early yesterday morning
with one James Nancy.
Cunningham had armed himself with
a wagon-spoke, with which he sought
to beat Nancy, but the latter got pos
session of the stick and beat Cunning
ham with it until he was rendered in
sensible and had to be taken home in
a hack.
Cunningham was so badly off yester-
day that he could not be removed to
tie Receiving Hospital for treatment.
1t was believed his brain had been in
jured and possibly that the skull was
cIacked

TOO GENEROUS CITIZENS.
They Gave the County a Road They
Didn't Own.
A proposition Made to Light the
County Hospital With
Electricity.

ooIne days ago a petition from resi-
oen's and property Of Orange
Vale was presented to the Board of Su-
pervlsors, asking that body, on behalf
" the county, to accept the road lead
ing from Orangevale to Folsom, and
70 maintain it as a county highway.
Inc road cost the heOrangevale Company
some $4,000, and the board seemed to
De impressed with the generosity of the
people up that way, and accepted the
gift
When Chairman Morrison-who was
absent when the petition was received
and acted on-heard the minutes read
ne said he did not see how private
property could be given away SO easily
without some action on the party of
the company that owned it,
The matter was explained yesterday
when G. M. Mott and G. B. Katzenstein
appeared before the board and ex-
pressed their surprise that some persons
had been so generous as to give to the
county a valuable property belonging
to the Orangevale Company.
Mr.. Mott said the company had
bought the right of way for the road
and built a good highway. 1t is true,
he said, that the company would be
glad to turn the road over to the cOun-
ty for a public highway, which it
should be, but the company would not
care to part with it without receiving
some compensation for the money it
had expended on it. The company is
not prepared just now to make a def
mite proposition to the county, but
would probably do so.
The company, said Mr.. Mott, had pur-
chased the land over which the road
f,,r L 4
good repair. They had locked up the
road at intervals SO as to preserve their
legal rights and it's character as a pri-
vate property.
The petition asking the Supervisors
to accept the road as a public highway
was premature. The company desired
to have the petition prepared, and in
tended at the proper time to make a
proposition to the board, but the petit
tion was sent in by mistake before it
was ripe.
After a Thorough explanation of the
matter Chairman Morrison moved that
the action heretofore taken by the
board be rescinded, and 1t was carried.
ROAD AT NATOMA.
The report of the viewers. ]. G. Boyd,
A. E. Butler and E. Kirk. on the petit
ton of residents of the vicinity of Ma
toma Station, asking that road be
laid out to run between the Sacramento
and Placerville road from the B. W.
Taylor ranch to Natoma Station, was
read.
The viewers did not favor the route
asked for and suggested a different one.
as the former would cut up property OF
the Natoma Vineyard Company. The
cost Of the original route would be
about 81, 800, and that of the proposed
change some $500 less than that sum.
The viewers asked to be instructed to
survey the new route and report
thereon.
The report was accompanied by a
letter from the Natoma Company, stat
ing that they would oppose to the bitter
end the laying out of the road asked for
by the petitioners.
The report was filed and set for hear
ing at 2 p. m. on Monday, October 10Th,
on motion of Supervisor Curtis.

Charles F. Gillet of Cleveland o., has
curious war relic in the shape Of an
"honarable discharge" of faithful dog
which was formerly owned BY Mr.. Gil
let's father. The animal served three
years in Battery H, Independent Regi-
ment Pennsylvania Light Artillery The
discharge recites that "Jack Puppy
(brindle) was a Waterman in Captain E.
H. Nevin's company; that he was en-
listed on January II, 1862, for three
years, and was discharged on June 10,
1865, at Camp Barry, D. c, by reason
of expiration of time" He was born
At Alexandria, Va, and was four years
old at the time Of discharge. The paper
further says that the dog was Of yellow
ish complexion and brown eyes" and
that ~ occupation he was "a fighter.
This curious document is signed by

4 Neslsctsd Fruit.

A much neglected fruit is the whole
some gooseberry. The large variety
makes an excellent breakfast fruit, and
is regarded as healthy. GoOseberries,
like cranberries, may be preserved in
water and used in the winter for pies
and sauces. Pick over the fruit, reject
the poor ones, and remove the stem and
blow. Put the fruit into jars, filling
them nearly to the top, then pour in
clear, cold water, allowing it to over
flow the jar. Screw the covers down
so the Jars will be alright, and keep the
jars in a dark, cool place. Gooseberry
sauce is appetizing, and is an excellent
relish to serve with roast meats. Meas
ure the fruit and have two-thirds of a
bowl of sugar for every bowl of fruit;
put in a porcelain-l kettle and pour
over them a cup of cold water; put over
the fire and allow them 20 cook very
slowly until every berry is soft. This
sauce will make delicious pies, using it
with an upper and under crust IN
making with a lower crust only cover
the top when baked with a meringue.

wondsrful Speed Of Electricity.

Il has long since been conceded that
the speed Of electricity is practically in
Simultaneous. Sunlight travels 10000
900 miles minute, and it is believed by
many scientists that the speed of cleo
tricitv would be equally as rapid If we
could get the proper medium over
which to transmit It, and get all other
conditions in proper shape. In the ex-
periments made from Philadelphia 20
Liverpool, in 1890, it was proven that
with the imperfect apparatus then in
use the speed was 5000 miles per second.
Some enthusiasts believe that it will
eventually be sent around the world in
three seconds, or cover the distance to
the sun in 81 minutes.

A Phenomenal Mathematician.

The New York Central Railroad Office
has secured a phenomenal mathemati
clan in its service, in the person of AL
fred Blum, sixteen-year-old newsboy.
The boy applied for position and ex-
pressed a willingness to submit to an
immediate examination, and stake the
fate of his application on the result.
The boy made his way into the pres
ence of Controller Cartensen and asked
for a position. He had a letter Of
recommendation wherein the statement
was made that he was a master of
mathematics and lightning calculator
After briefly questioning him concern
ing his antecedents, age and! Experience
the controller of the big railroad be-
came interested. He gave the boy the
most difficult problems in addition, sub
traction, multiplication and division.
Then he called in sixty clerks to witness
the remarkable performance of the
Young fellow with the scrambled hair
and buttonhole boquet.
Young Blum is described as most
remarkable hand at figures. Since the
age of four he has shown an aptitude
for mathematics that has proved to be

THE RECEIPTED BILL.

AA~-
.sWe!l?"
81 tell you that what we have earned
for the last month is but drop in the
bucket to our expenses. We are $50 in
debt, including the doctors billw
There were three of them Maria,
Eunice, or Yune, as they called her, and
sick mother. Mrs. Merle was bed
ridden, and the girls worked to support
her and keep together their little home.
The girls let one of the chambers to
a LOGGER and that helped to keep the
roof over their heads. For the rest of
their living, Yune taught the district
school while Maria kept house, did
sewing and braided straw.
ooh, if we were only as rich as Mr..
Glyndonw said Yune.
Mr. Glyndon was the lodger.
"Do you suppose he would lend US
some money until your next school
quarter is up'"
Yune's beautiful brown eyes opened
wide.
81 don't know, am sure. Why, how
dare you ask him. He's so terribly re-
served, you know, Maria"
al think I will" said Maria.
No more was said of the anticipated
plan, but the next night when Yune
came from school Maria showed her the
$40 received from Mr.. Glyndon.
The next morning Yune started for
school, as usual, when a quick step
came behind her and the next moment
Mr.. Glyndon was at her side.
"Good morning, Miss Merle"
"Good morning, Mr. Glyndon."
"Miss Merle" was his next unsolicited
remark, 81 like your face. VIII you
marry me?"
Yune misunderstood. She did not
take in the,depth of his meaning when
he said, 81 like your face"
Thank you, Mr.. Glyndon, but am
not poor enough yet to sell my beauty.
I wish you good morning." and she
turned down a crossroad.
The next morning Maria was ILL
threatened with lung fever. Poor Yune
was overwhelmed with her troubles. A
week of weary care and exhausting Ia
Dor for her passed, then Maria was out
of danger and affairs began to get a little !
settled
But it was a woeful settling in Pc
cuniary way. They were penniless and
the doctors bill for Maria had run up to
$40.
Now, the doctor had been a hard cred
itor of her fathers. There was not
man in the village whom Yune had not
rather be under obligations to-unless
she equally regretted not being indie
pendent of Mr.. Glyndon.
AS she sat alone she thought suddenly
of her watch-the little jewelled Geneva
watch which had been her fathers last
gift to her She could pawn it. The act
was cruelest sacrilege, but she went to
wealthy man of the village and received
$40 for it, with the agreement that It
