FENDER SAVED HIM.
How a Rash Cyclist Came Near Be-
ing Killed.

A young man named Pebbles, who
lives at Oak Park, had a close call for
his life early yesterday morning. He
was wheeling down ] street at a high
rate of speed, when he overlook an
H-street car, which was also going at
a good clip.
Pebbles, however, moved faster than
the car, and, when he was clear of It.
for some reason probably known to
himself, he attempted to cross the
track to the other side of the street,
with the usual result.
Man and wheel both disappeared un-
der the car, as if swallowed up, and
before the frightened motorman could
bring it to a standstill it had traversed
nearly half a. block. When the car
finally stopped Pebbles crawled off OF
the fender and inquired if anybody
knew where he could find his hat.
Man and wheel had been picked up
by the fender and carried nearly halr
a. block, and neither were damaged by
the experiment But it was a close
shave nevertheless.

RESOLUTIONS BY THE BOARD
OE HEALTH.
City Trustees Decided to Ignore
Them and Took No Action
on Them.

AT the meeting Of the Board of Trus-
tees to fix the tax levy last night the
following communication from the
Board of Health was read:
Whereas, the Board of Health has in
the past, on many occasions, been COM
PEELED to protest against the public nui-
sances in the shape Of dumping grounds
established and maintained at various
points within the city limits, by your
board, and,
Whereas, these successive locations
have resulted in the establishment Of
pestilential foci for many years in the
future; and
Whereas, the removal of said dump
ing grounds out of and north of the
city and their maintenance in that To-
cality in defiance of the representations
of the Board of Health (Feb. Z, 1899,
resulted in the pollution of the city's
water supply in the CHASTITY and abom-
Unable manner the revelation of which.
by a member of your board, Mortified
our citizens and scandalized this city.
throughout the State; and,
Whereas, your board only abated this
outrage on the north of the city to es-
tablish and maintain another to- the
south of the city, wherefrom the pre-
vailing summer winds can carry it's
noisesomeness to the city proper; and,
Whereas, the only modern and scien-
tific method Of disposal of city garbage
is by cremation; and,
Whereas, this fact has been pointed
out to your board by the Board of
Health, for many years, and the erec-
ton of a crematory, by the city, repeat
edly urged by the Board of Health, yet
no action has been taken in the prem
ises by your board; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That the Board of Health
of the city Of Sacramento hereby di-
rects your honorable board to provide
in the tax levy for the ensuing
year a sufficient sum, estimated at not
less than twenty thousand dollars
| (S20, ,OO0) for the purchase of site and
the erection of the necessary cremat1ng
plant and appurtenances thereof;
Resolved, That your honorable board
is further directed to provide for the
running expenses of said plant during
the ensuing year;
Resolved, That as this matter is one
of great public urgency the initial
steps for the establishment Of crema-
tory, namely the procuring of plans
and estimates, and the consideration of
sites, should be taken without further
delay.
| Tebbetts moved that it be laid on
the table. as direct insult to the
board. Devine seconded the motion.
The motion was put, but only re-
ceived five votes, Brown and Dolan
| voting no.
| Brown moved that the communica-
ton be received and the Board of
Health be informed that the Trustees
would consider the matter later. He
thought that would be more respectful
! to the Board of Health.
The motion received no second and
the communication was ordered placed
on file.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
Grandest Fair in the History of the
State,

(Western Sports, San Francisco.)
The complaint has been made in for
mer years that our State fairs have
been given over to horse racing almost
exclusively, and that too little attention
has been given to the agricultural and
horticultural features of the eXposi-
ton. This year there is an assurance
that, while the racing features will be
first class and far above the ordinary,
the great effort of the management of
the fair this time will be to make the
finest and most extensive agricultural
and horticultural display ever present
ed on the Pacific Coast.
The finest products of California, not
only as to vegetables, fruits and live
stock, but also all the latest mechanic
cal appliances for preparing the prod
ucts of the farm. the orchara and the
stock range for the market, will be ON
exhibition. These modern mechanical
aids to husbandry will all be in motion.
and will be operated by men capable
of explaining their use and general util-
ity to all those interested in such
branches of industry.
The show of fine stock will of itself
be worth a visit to the fair this year
Besides a splendid display of draft
horses and other stock, there will be
an exhibition Of thoroughbred cattle
never before equaled on this coast.
There will be at least five herds of the
finest cattle ever seen west of the
Rockies, and some as fine as can be
found anywhere in the United States
Each of these herds will contain at
least twenty-five head of stock, and
will represent the best breeds eXtant.
The fair about to open at Sacramento
will in truth be the grandest event of
the kind ever presented to the people
of California

General Shafter's horse, known as
''Toral, arrived yesterday afternoon
and he will receive great attention py
those having his care in hand. This
famous pony was captured by the
American soldiers at the storming OF
San Juan flights, and it is a wonderful
little animal. 1t will be equipped as 1t
was found. In this connection, 1T is
interesting to see what General Shafter
said in recent letter from President
Spreckels: 1.-The saddle was taken with
the horse,'' runs his letter, "and it is
the regular saddle used by the Span

that the society has had to enlarge the
stalls and general accommodations. It
is the opinion of those who have
watched these matters that there have
never been so many thoroughbreds and
fine exhibits of all kinds of horses at
any previous fair. An effort has been
made from the first to exclude all in

There will be livestock parades twice
each week, and it will be found that
there is a high grade all through.

of August Both:

Of the Rangers still live in the old burg,

office chair in the counting-room of the
old Sacramento Union:

To the Editor of the Army and Navy
Journal: We also had poets lariat in
1861. In August of that year the Sac
ramento Rangers were organized. The
officers were elected by the company
from Captain down to the eighth Cor
poraI. We bought cheap fatigue uni
forms, and prepared to fight the South
ern Confederacy. The company was
mustered into service in September as
Co. f, Second California Cavalry, with
A. J. Smith as Colonel.
1t was a cadet company, for thirty of
the rank and file were subsequently
commissioned officers of California
troops.
At that time it was the intention of
the War Department to send a strong
force of California volunteers overland
to Texas, under command of Brigadier-
General E. V. Sumner who had relieved
Albert Sidney Johnston from command
of the Department of the Pacific in
April. Hence this campaign song to

In the spring We'll be in New Orleans,
Wen clear the stage, and shift the scenes.

We will give them all game of draw,
Each rebel hang by the common law,
Hurrah!
In Mississippi TIL take bets,
Well teach them how to pay their debts.
Wen teach them to respect our flag,
And quit their little game of brag.
Hurrah!
In Alabama with our. fancy,
Hurrah!
Our fine boys will douse his. glim;
You'll hear no more SeceSh from him.
Hurrah!
Wen charge right through the Ever
Send Toombs and stephens to the shades.
Hurrah!
No traitor leave the tale to tell,
OF where or how his comrades fell.
Hurrah!
In South Carolina then, you bet,
We will try to silence noisy Rhett.
Hurrahl
On Sumter's walls, now free from stain,
Our Ensign well unfold again.
Hurrah!
On to Richmond, then, We'll go,
Send Jeff and Beauregard below.
Hurrah!
The T. f. VS., then, soon will find
Their Boosted chivalry blind.
