THE CIqY'S FUNDS.
Treasurer Carmichael Asks the Trustees
for a Safe.
Meantime He Appoints an Assistant
and Keeps the Funds in the
California State Bank.

A communication was read from City
Treasurer Carmichael at the meeting
Of the City Trustees last evening, in
which he stated that since his election
there have been several articles pub
lished by a local paper regarding the
manner in which the business of his Of
flee has heretofore been conducted and
also as to the manner of keeping the
city's funds. He stated in his commu-
nication then in an open letter from
him published in the "Record-Union"
on the 18th of last November that it
was not his intention of stunning any
of the duties of the Office to which the
thus far followed the custom of his
predecessors for nearly forty years by
depositing in a bank of good repute
which has burglar and fireproof
vault and safe. Some objections
have been made to this course,
he says, and it must be con-
ceded that it would be more satisfactory
to all concerned If the city could pro-
vide a proper office for the Treasurer
with proper vault and safes for the
keeping of the city's moneys, as antici-
pated in the charter He says he will
gladly keep all the moneys and transact
all the business of his office when the
city provides him with burglar and
ficeroof vault and safes. 1t seems to
him that if no better facilities be fur
nished him than a safe sufficient to
hold the amount of funds required to
meet daily payments he ought to be
permitted for the safekeeping of the
bulk of the money to make deposits of
the same in some bank Of good repute
having proper burglar and fireproof fa-
cilities., I'm the meantime" he con-
cludes, feeling myself personally LA
hle for the safekeeping of the city's
funds, have deposited the same in the
California State Bank, and in order that
city warrants may be paid without in
convenience and at the place where the
funds are deposited, I have placed on
file with the Clerk of your board the
appointment of G. E. Burnham as Dep
uty City Treasurer"
The recommendation and actions of
the Treasurer were approved.

ory that fails him; he is a mechanic,
has had dnoexperiencein in business; he had
never before witnessed will, and 1t is
hoped that he will never again sign
one as a witness. He was not i'm
pressed with the due Importance of his
act; then is it to be wondered that after
a period of twelve years he has no recol-
lection of the matter?
Let US see what are the circum-
stances" continues Judge Johnson,
connected with the case. The benefi-
eiary had been living in the family of
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster since two weeks
of age; she was endeared to them. Mrs.
Foster, by the Geographic will of 1857
attempted to give her whole estate to
her, but doubtless she subsequently
learned that she had not correctly ac-
complished her wishes. They employed
an attorney of experience to prepare a
proper will; he went to the family resi-
dence for that purpose and prepared a
will in proper form having the same
conditions as the other making the
child beneficiary. Mr.. Foster goes to
the family sitting room and under the
direction of the attorney the witness
signs his name, which he here recog-
nizes as his signature.
1T seems then that taking these cir
cumstances together with the fact that
upon the face of the will every requisite
is complied with, that we are at liberty
to conclude that the instrument was
properly executed. In such case we
can appeal to subdivision 33, Section
1868, c. c. p, and presume that the
testatrix in executing her will obeyed
the law"
Judge Johnson concludes by stating
that both wills were duly executed by
the deceased, but the second one being
subsequent to the Geographic will of
1882, will have to be admitted to pro-
bate

The Inquest Upon 1t Was Begun Last
Night.
The inquest of William H Potter,
who was struck by the Stockton train
at Twenty first and r streets, was be-
gun last night. A mass of testimony
was taken, which showed that the en-
gineer whistled at Twenty-second or
Twenty-third street, but that on ac-
count of the noise of machinery at the
Buffalo brewery and the proximity of
the buildings to the track, it is very diff
fcult to hear a train whistle that is
coming from the east.

WATER PIPE NEEDED.

To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
At the request of your honorable board,
I have conferred with the City Taper
in relation to the amount of water pipe
needed for use in our city, and, from
his estimates, he thinks that there
should be six blocks piped with six
inch pipe in the alley between E and f,
Thirteenth and Nineteenth streets;
also, six blocks in the alley between D
and E, Twelfth and Eighteenth streets,
and five blocks between and j, Twen-
ty-sixth and Thirty-first streets, which
would require a total amount of $500
feet of six-inch pipe. In placing this
water pipe there would be displaced, for
use in other parts of the city, 1000 feet
Of four-inch pipe, and 400 feet of three
inch pipe.
The amount of six-inch pipe above
referred to, will cover all the work that
will be done for several months. Re

the water in the canal should rise to
any great hight, the danger of the water
flowing into the city might be averted
by the placing Of gates In these open

SAVE THE WATER.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
It is the opinion Of many persons who
are competent to judge, that a great
saving could and should be made of our
city water There are many places
where much water Is allowed to run to
waste, and, if permitted to continue,
will create unnecessarily heavy drain
on our Water Works. From my investi-
cation of this subject / am convinced
that, if competent person could be ap-
pointed to inspect all places where wa
ter is used, and have the authority to
arrest all persons who are unlawfully
using water, or allowing it to go to
waste, the city would gain much there-
by
Before such an officer could be ap
pointed, however, it would be necessary
to pass an ordinance creating an Office
for such person. I would, therefore,
recommend that your honorable board
create the office of Water Inspector,
whose duty shall be as above stated;
and, if my recommendation should meet
with your approval, l will draft the pro-
posed ordinance and will lay it before
you in due time. Respectfully,
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
THE CITY'S FUNDS.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
The members of your board are doubt
Iessly informed of the law regarding
the safe keeping and care Of our muni-
cfpal funds The time has now arrived
when the Treasurer of this city must
take charge Of the funds of the city,
and must receive, pay out, and, at all
times have in his custody all funds
belonging to the city. To enable the
City Treasurer to comply with the law
your board will be obliged to provide
him with a burglar-proof safe at an
expense of about 81 900. I do not deem
it wise to make public a statement in
detail of the manner in which the City
Treasurer will care for these funds,
but suffice it to say he will comply with
the law in every respect as soon as he
is provided with a proper safe. Re-

WHY NOT FOLLOW THE SUGGES-
TON?

G. w. Craig, u prominent Republ
can of California, now connected with
the Redlands Citrograph, writes the
Sacramento Bee that he is in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to 1, and that he
favors the protection Of American in
dustries and particularly those of the
Great West. and names silver mining
as the first on the list He calls upon
the California Republicans to force
the bonds OF Eastern goldbugs. and
advocates the sending OF free silver
delegation from California to the ST.
Louis convention, the members Of
which are to make silver their fight,
first, last and all the time. .".
If there were more members OF the
go. p. like Mr.. Craig there is little
doubt but what some definite le-
suits would be attained at this con
vention, but 30 many of the leaders of
of that party are silver men only for
the purpose Of & lining office or pres
tige in some other direction, whose
sentiments can be changed to suit
the issue that is especially popular OF
of more than ordinary interest to the
locality IN winch they live, that the
people are catching ON" to their de
ception, and have about concluded to
squelch them. These men can change
their outside coating to silver when
talking to silver men. and to gold,

THE BATH.
It was Once Used In Italy for Capital
PuniShmont.

IL was OnOO UoO0 IN Italy TOT CApItOA
PunlShment.
The punishment of the bagno (bath)
one of the most cleverly cruel intlic-
tions ever devised by IN official of tn"
torture chamber, was administered in
italy, probably in Venice, where the
water of the lagoons played so prom
irent a part in it's penal system.
The prisoner was placed in a vat, the
sides of which were slightly in excess
of the average height of man. In
order to hold in check the rising tide
of n supply of water, which ran into the
vat in a constant stream, the criminal
was furnished with scoop with which
to bale out the water, as fast as it
came in.
The respite from death by INNER
sion thus obtained was more or less
prolonged, according to the powers of
endurance possessed by. the victim.
But, imagine the moral torture, the cx-
t:austing and even hideously grotesque
,'Torts, the incessant and pitiless toll
ny night and day, to stave off the
Tread moment fast approaching, when,
..vercome by sleep and fatigue, he was
unable to struggle any longer against
his fate!
