Weather Reports.

The Weather Bureau reports show
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been 81 and 81 de-
grees, with gentle northerly winds and
clear weather prevailing. At 8 a, m.
there was a light fog hanging over the
city, While over the river the fog was
quite a dense one, as it was in the
Capitol grounds and in the southern
portion of the city.
The barometrical readings at a. m.
and p. m yesterday were $3.50 inches
and 30.21 inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were "a and 30
degrees, and one year ago to-day ~
and 81 degrees.
The average temperature was 43 and
the normal 80 degrees. showing yester-
day to lave been Z degrees cooler than
usual for the 26th of November.
There was quite a heavy frost yes
terday morning, it being the coolest of
the season, as the lowest temperature
reached the freezing point in the
Weather Bureau Office, which would in
dicate that the temperature near the
ground in exposed places went several
degrees below the freezing point, and
no doubt thin ice was formed.

A CONVICT AS A WITNESS.
FRED HOWARD'S TESTIMONY
IN LYNCH'S CASE.
He Evidently Tries to Save His Pal
George Shaw Admits He
Swore Falsely.

The trial of Harry Lynch, as one or
the Feraut robbers, will be concluded
In Judge Harts court this morning.
Yesterday George Shaw, who had tes-
titled for the prosecution at the preiim-
mary examination, went back on his
testimony and declared it was false.
He attempted to excuse himself by say
ing that he was under the influence OF
liquor at that time.
But Officer Higgins testified that
Shaw was sober when he was a wit
ness at the examination of Lynch, and
that he also repeated to him what ne
had sworn to.
1t is quite likely that Shaw Will be
held to account for perjury.
Fred Howard, one of the three men
who participated in the robbery of Fer
aut, and who was given fifteen years
in the State Prison on his pleading
guilty, was brought down from Fol-
som yesterday to testify for the defense.
He gave his testimony in very jerky,
uncertain manner whenever Lynch was
concerned, and left a bad impression.
Howard would not deny positively
that he had not been in Lynch's COM
pany day or two before the robbery,
but did not remember speaking to him.
He said there was another man beside
himself and Davis concerned in the
robbery-the one who stood guard in
the alley, but did not say who he was.
This third man, he said, separated from
him ana Davis when they crossed the
river and reached the Yolo side.
He said he did not see Lynch until
himself and Davis got to Elmira on the
train the next morning, and denied that
the three left this city together He
admitted, however, having given Lynch
almost stranger to him-Some of the
money taken from Feraut's store, but
could not explain to District Attorney
Ryan why he divided the spoils with
him.
AS to a conversation he Howard) had
with Detective Max Fisher relative to
advising Lynch to plead guilty, he said
he was thinking of the shooting at a
brakeman at Suisun and not of the
Feraut robbery.
District Attorney Ryan asked Howard
how he could have supposed that
Fisher had reference to a charge being
lodged against the men in Solano Coun-
ty, when Lynch was in Jail here under
a charge of robbery. To this query the
witness and self-confessed thug-the
toners at bay with a pistol in each of
his hands-could only humble an eva
Sive answer.
The case will probably go to the jury
by noon, or at all events this afternoon

Mr.. Edwin R. Trip, the postmaster at
Middlefield Center, n. Y, recently had q
dangerous experience which left him in
helpless state. His system was so much
shattered that it was feared he might never
recover.
In an interview with reporter of the
Republican, regarding this experience which
had attracted considerable attention, Mr..
Trip stated:
'In March, 1892, I was taken with what
afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and
was unable to walk, and / kept getting
worse until l lost the use of my arms. /
doctored with two skillful doctors but re-
ceived no benefit, and also used galvanic
battery but kept getting worse and the doc
tors told me they could do no more. This
was in May and June, 1892. gave up all
hope of ever having the use of my limbs
again, and did not expect to live very long.
l was unable to dress or undress myself, and
could not get around the house unless was
moved in chair.
81 think it was in June that read of the
case of a man in Saratoga Co., N. Y, who
was taken very much as myself He had
taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People which contained, in condensed form,
all the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves, and had been cured by their
use.
az learned that the pills were prepared by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Company, Sche-
uectady, N. T., and only cost SO cents box

SUNDAYS GAME.
It Will Decide the Pennant Issue
for Sacramento.

The local ball-tossers who sprung into
fame on Thursday by defeating the
great Baltimore aggregation will to-
morrow play their last game here of
the present league series.
On this occasion the Olympics of San
Francisco will be their opponents, and
they are not easy men to down by any
means. They may treat the Gilt
Edges just as the latter did the Bal
tomoreans. and if they do, the Sacra-
mento lads-who are now in the lead
for the pennant and a percentage of
the seasons gate receipts-will be even
up with Stockton. But If the home
club should win, the pennant, ETC., will
be theirs.
The Olympics have an excellent
pitcher in Wheeler, and there is no
telling what corkscrew twists he may
put into the balls flight If there ever
was a time when the Gilt Edges needed
a game, it is now. In the hope of see
ing the pets of the league win the de-
Gliding game, there Will no doubt be an
immense crowd at Snowflake Park to-
morrow 1t is a case of root, hog, or
