SAFE AND ECONOMICAL.
The Elevator ard Water Plant i'm the
State CAPITOL

Those whose duty it is to visit the
State Capitol daily or who go there for
| pleasure and ride on the elevator, hardly
appreciate the work that has been done
/ to make that machine absolutely safe.
In the first place, the power behind it
| is ample, in any event, to raise 1000
! pounds at any desired speed. Each of
the four ropes holding up the cage is
ample in itself for sustaining the entire
! weight. and they are carefully examined
every day by the engineer.
/ The economy of the new system that
/ has been inaugurated is, however, one
! of its greatest merits. BY a system of
! cylinders and tanks the same water that
! is running the elevator to-day will be
used tomorrow. and next week, and at
a seconds notice can be carried auto
matically to the top of the building for
use in case of fire. Everything in con-
nectiOn with this water supply is auto
matte.
| The engines pump the water from the
tanks into the cylinders so as always to
maintain therein not less than 10 or
more than 10 pounds pressure, and
! the reserve water is sufficient to flood
the whole building Immediately in case
| Of fire. The connections have been so
made that every room can be instantly
attended to.
| \ new plant devised by a Sacramento
man has been put into the engine room,
and this is what is known as an auto
matte steam blast for burning Welsh
anthracite coal.
/ This maintains a steady pressure Of
steam from 13 to - pounds The mo-
ment the steam falls to - pounds the
! blast is turned on and continues to blow
| till the pressure is raised to - pounds,
when it Instantly dies off without any
work by the engineer
/ 1t has effected a saving Of more than
! 1G per cent. in the cost of the fuel al
ready, and has proved the only effective
means Of maintaining a steady pressure
on the boilers without the aid of
/ large force Of men. 1t has shown itself
| to be reliable.
The boiler capacity is now sufficient to
work all the pumps that will he needed
| to supply the grounds and Capitol when
! the wells are sunk, and this. with the
blast arrangement, can be done with
! out any additional cost

ALLEGATIONS DENIED
California Pacific Company's Answer
to CroIy's Complaint.

The California Pacific Railroad Com
pany. one Of the defendants in the suit
of f. j. Croly to prevent the Supervis-
ors from paying the balance due on the
contract for the construction of the
wagon bridge above the railroad bridge
that spans the Sacramento River op-
posite this city, has filed its answer to
the amended cross complaint, through
it's attorney, 4. l.. Hart.
The company denies that the Super
visors by resolution appropriated $50
900 to be paid for the overhead bridge,
or that there was no contract between
the Supervisors and the company. as
the plaintiff alleges, but admits that
the payments We're ordered to be made
in pursuance of a contract or agree
ment entered into with the Southern
Pacific Company and the defendant
1t is set forth in the answer that by
the terms of this contract or agree
ment the county was to receive back
the amount of the first payment If the
bridge were not completed and ready
for public use by the 31st day of De-
cember, 1895. Denial is made that the
county contributed in any manner to-
ward the cost of the construction of a
bridge for the use of the railroad COM
panies, but alleges that on the contrary
it agreed to pay a portion of the cost

SURPRISE TO THE EUROPEANS.
Crittenden RObiGSOn'S Trap-ShOotins a
Revelation.
The Californian Winning Fame and
ShekeiS Across the Big
Ocean.

A couple of weeks ago cablegram
from Europe told how Crittenden Rob
inson. the California, wing shot had
defeated the great English shooter, Or
chardsOn, in return match at Nice,
by score of 96 pigeons to 81. Now
comes a Paris paper of a prior date
with an article relating to Mr. Robin
sons shooting at Nice, which will inter-
est sportsmen in this vicinity, many
of whom have shot over the traps with
him, and some of whom have defeated
him. The Paris paper says:
Prominent among the shOoters-he
either wins or divides nearly every pool
is Mr.. Robinson, famous as pigeon
shot in San Francisco, of which town
he IS an nhabitant. Americans here
have founded their hopes upon Mr..
Robinson for the Grand Pr!X. There is
undeniable ground for such confidence.
Mr. Robinson is cool, self-possessed and
at all reasonable distances kills his
bird with unerring aim. In fact, we
know of no habitue OF the Tir no ia
nous English, Italian or French shoot
ers who can claim superiority to this
American, who shoots so calmly and
skillfully We shall expect him to lend
additional interest to the shooting here
this season.
AT Cap Dali, where the Tir took
place yesterday, MIR. Robinson won or
divided every pool, save a match with
that well-knoWn shot, Mr.. Orchardson,
a young English gentleman, whose very
appearance suggests skill in all athletic
exercises 1t was very near nlghtfaI,
and this fact was in favor of the young
shooter. In a match with a gOod light it
would be interesting to witness the
shooting of Nessrs. Robinson and Or
chardson.
There are other American shooters
here who will take part in the different
pools-aIso the Grand Prix-but none of
them inspire US with the same conf
dence that does Mr.. Robinson. ]. Den
ny is shooting well, has divided or won
several pools. but we will pin our faith
upon Mr.. Robinson, and feel assured
that whoever beats him will win, to use
q sporting phrase"
In his match with Beresford Robinson
defeated that gentleman by a score Of
81 10 50, making what is claimed TO be
a new record for Europe. The grounds
at Nice, where the match was shot, is
the exact counttll.erl of Monte Carlo,
and are therefore very trying for high
scores.
In defeating Beresford, Mr.. Robinson
also wins the distinction of being the
first man to defeat this celebrated Eng
lish shot. In this match Mr.. Robin
sons well-knoWn cOolness served him
well, for at the eighty-fifth round the
score stood a tie, and Mr.. Robinson
only missed one bird thereafter, and
that one being the next to the last
when the match was already won. Mr.
Beresford in the same time lost four.

Recent Sale of Nine Hundred Acres
of Grand Island Land.

Some couple of months ago Thomas

made public the fact that he wished to
dispose of large tract of land on Grand
Island and situated about three miles
from Rio Vista.
The Rio Vista News" says that sew
eral San Francisco firms made efforts to
sell the property but without success
and two weeks ago Mr.. Williams inter
ested J. Stern of this place and that
gentleman succeeded in disposing OF the
property to several San FranciScans
who organized a company for the pur-
pose of making the purchase. The price
paid was in the neighborhOod of So0,O00.
