PUBLIC INCONVENIENCED.
Why the Electric Current Was Cut on
on Monday.
The Fault Lay With the Officials of the
Prison, But Will Not
Again Occur.

The public generally took it for grant
ed on Monday that the two Interrupt
tions in the electric light and motor
service on that day were caused by tenn
porary repairs or something of the sort
at the sub-station in this city, but 1t
appears that such was not the case.
One of these interruptions was in the
early afternoon and the other from
about o'clock till in the evening
Both were caused at the Folsom Prison,
and those who suffered temporary in
convenience thereby have the prison
officials and not the electric company
to blame therefor.
The prison power-house is not directly
over the canal, but off to one side, and
the water that turns its turbine wheels
is carried thither by a forebay or Off
shoot from the canal proper. There is
more or less silt always collecting in
the forebay, but when the State con-
structed it no other provision was made
for flushing it except to cut off the main
canal supply of water and turn 1t
through the forebay. This was an over
sight as the same result could have
been secured by placing a partition in
the forebay and flushing one portion at
a time.
Manager J. w. Hall of the Electric
company stated yesterday that the water
was shut off without notice to his COM
pany, and without authority. Nobody,
he says, has any right to interfere with
the flow of water through the canal, not
even the State The latter does not own
the canal, and is entitled only to its use
in common with the company, and he
says that steps win be taken to-day to
prevent anything of the kind ever again
occurring.
The patrons of the company in this
city-those who use electricity for mo-
tive power in the daytime-were greatly
inconvenienced, as were the travelling
public, the entire street car system be-
ing tied up while the flushing process at
the other end of the line was in progress.
For an hour in the evening none of the
company's lamps were lighted, and
those who suffered thereby laid the
blame on the company.
Mr.. Hall states that so long as the
water runs in the river there need be no
fear of any further interruptions of the
sort, as the company's plants and wires
are all duplicated and ordinary acci-
dents would not prevent the free trans
mission and distribution of the electric
current. AS before stated, the Electric
Company will see that its full and free
use of the canal waters shall not again
be interfered with.

Exercises Arranged for washington's
Birthday-Those Who VIII De-
liver Addresses.

The City Board of Education held a
special meeting last night to consider
several subjects needing attention.
The first subject taken up was the
patriotic exercises to be held on the
2lst inst. in the schools of the city in
honor of Washington's Birthday. A
discussion of the manner of holding
the exercises was held, and it was de-
cided that parents should be invited to
attend them.
The following persons will address
the different schools: High School, H.
Weinstock; Sacramento Grammar
School, G. K. McClatchy; Hardness

mar and Fremont Primary schools at 1
p. m. The hour for holding the exer-
cises at the High School was not fixed
last night
Director Brown moved that a piano
be purchased for the Marshall Primary
School at a cost not to exceed 5000. An
animated discussion ensued over the
merits of the different makes of pianos,
during which several of the members
showed an intimate acquaintance with
the subject. The motion was carried

Trnckee Ice Carnival

Two more of the popular excursions
to the Truckee ice carnival are an
nounced for the present week, on Fri
day and Saturday evenings, 18th and
18th. This is CALIFORNIA; first expert
ence with a festival so unique in char
acter, and it has been received with
surprising favor far and wide, as the
great number of visitors attest. The
aid given by the railroad company in
making a round-trip rate so low that il
barely covers cost is generally COM
mended, as it gives all who have any
taste for winter sports and an eye fol
sublimely picturesque scenes an oppor-
tunity for the grandest experience of a
lifetime. The round trip from Sacra-
mento. including sleeping car, is only
Sc so No extent of imagination, how
ever lively, can picture the glorious
sport and magnificent scenes of this

Walter Russell, who on Monday de-
manded a jury trial for vagrancy,
changed his mind and yesterday in the
Police Court he expressed wish to
plead guilty. He claimed to have a
job offered him, which he was anxious
to get to.

here. 1t is not a healthy place for you.

County Jail and withhold the commit
ment for one hour. If you are in town
at the end of that time you will be
taken to jail"
''They won't find me here then, your
honor" was the reply.

days in jail for vagrancy.
A. Gunderson was also charged with
vagrancy and pleaded guilty. He had
been begging and hanging around sa-
looms The court sentenced him to
three months in Jail, but gave him half
