IMPORTANT DECISION.
Rights OF Street Cars and Persons
Using Streets.

An important case was tried yester-
day before Judge Henry. William
Gropp sued the Sacramento Electric,
Gas and Railway Company to recover
Judgment for damages claimed to
have been suffered by reason of a
street railway car running into a bak-
cry wagon owned by Gropp.
The evidence showed that the wagon
was being driven along p street, out
side the street railway track, when,
without looking back or giving any evil
dence of his intention to do so, the
driver attempted to cross the track as
a car was approaching from behind.
The collision that resulted caused
considerable injury to the wagon The
evidence was clear that there was not
even an attempt to look back, but the
driver assumed that everybody would
keep out of his way.
L. T. Hatfield, attorney for the street
railway company, showed that it is
the established law of California and
other States that ''it is the duty of any
one attempting to cross a street railway
or other railway to stop, look and lis
ten before going upon the track, and
that the failure to look or listen before
attempting to cross, where such precau-
tions would prevent collision, is in law
such negligence as will defeat a recov-
cry in an action for damages resulting
from injuries thus received.
The judgment was for the defendant,
the street railway company.

CONCERNING HOPS.
The English Crop Is Very Light,
but of Good Quality.

Thomas & Short of London, factors of
American hops, send the following hop
circular under date of October I'd:
THE English crop is now harvested.
and while the quantity is only two
thirds of last years yield, the quality
generally is very good, in fact better
than for some years past.
This result in quality shows what
can be done by washing on time and
thoroughly, for the bines were attacked
early in the season by an extremely Sc
we're and persistent visitation of lice.
The smallness of the yield is due TO
slacknesS of bine through severe
drought Brewers are we'll stocked.
If any of your growers want to know
the component parts of the wash used
by English growers, we shall be happy
to answer inquiries from them.
Business is only just beginning in
English hops and prices not CONSOLE
dated, but the growers are trying for a
considerable advance on last years
prices. They may not get all they
seek.
For Pacific hops no prices have yet
been established, and samples of them
are only just arriving. There can be
no doubt that with our short supply,
there will be a good market here at
good prices for choice hops from your
section and consignments of that quail
ity would do Well, especially if sent on
early. Anything below choice would
not be wanted"

DIDN'T LIKE THE TUNE.
L. C. Chandler Complains of the
Chinese Theater Orchestra.

L. c. Chandler, the veteran real es-
tate man, whose office is at Third and
J streets. likes music. He never misses
an opera, but draws the line at Chinese
music.
Yesterday he caused the arrest of All
Tune, proprietor of the Chinese The
ater on Third street, on a charge Of
disturbing the peace. The trouble all
comes from the quality of the so-called
music promulgated by the orchestra of
the theater
The players seem to have but one
tune aside from the manager), and
that consists of a wild and incessant
Changing of gongs and ear-piercing
squeaks emitted from Chinese fiddles.
Yesterday witnessed the finale of the
festival that had been in progress for
some time, and the theater orchestra
made more noise than ever, greatly to
Mr. Chambers discomfort, and he re-
solved to have it stopped, if possible.
Mr. Chandler thinks that if the Chin
amen must have that kind of music it
should be quarantined.

is supposed to have died somewhere in
California in 1892.
Caspar, like many other people in the
East, evidently imagines that Califor-
MIA could be set down in Chicago s

RECEPTION TO THE WOODLAND
FOOTBALL TEAM.
High School Lads to Entertain
Their Adversaries on Satur-
day Evening.

On Saturday evening, after the foot
ball game, the members Of the local
High School viii entertain their visit
ing colleagues from Woodland. For
this purpose the student body has ap-
pointed a Committee of Arrangements,
with Charles B. Jones, manager of the
team, as President, and W. F. Carey
as Secretary.
The entertainment will be in the form
of a reception. with the usual accom-
paniment of singing, speech-making,
etc, and no doubt the bloody battle
of the gridiron will be fought over
again when vanquished and victor
come together Judging from the
friendly relations which existed last
year between the students of the two
schools, twice brought together socially
as the outcome of the games OF last
season, many yard of the Sacramento
purple and white will be exchanged for
the white and gold Of Woodland.
Manager Kripp Of Snowflake Park
has taken special pains to lay out
suitable grounds for the game. He
has acceded to all the demands of the
students in preparing the field, and the
result will be frst-class gridiron. I'm
ike Inc ola STOuIlQ DIT ASTlcullul al

regulation form, but a fine view of the
field will be easily obtained from all
parts Of the grand stand.

Twenty-minute halves and ten min
utes' intermission will be played
Previous to the game the teams will
drive through town in tally-ho coaches
in the good old-fashioned way, not
as one of our college and athletic club
teams recently paraded in San Fran
cisco-in hacks, an innovation evidently
borrowed from the professional base
ball players. The teams will line up
as follows:
