TROUBLESOME FRITZ.
Gruh1er Will Have a Chance to
Explain Himself,

Officer Ash yesterday arrested a man
named Fritz Gruhler for disturbing the
peace. The arrest was made on COM
plant of Superintendent Ross of the
street car line
Mr. Ross told a reporter that Gruhler
had been employed as a laborer on the
K-street track, which is being relaid,
but was discharged for drunkenness
and incompetency. He then set out to
make trouble among the other work
men by abusing the company and en-
deavoring to get the men to strike
You've no idea" said Superintend-
ent Ross, ''of the difficulty we have in
getting good men to work on the re-
laying of that track. Why, 1 could
put fifty more men to work if I could
find persons who know anything about
helping at track laying.
Il saw it stated in the paper this
morning that some hobos who had been
arrested for vagrancy said they had
been employed on this work, but had
quit because we reduced the mems pay
from $1.15 to $50 per day. This is
false. We are paying $1.75 right
along, and the men we discharged We're
laid off because they got drunk and
wouldn't do their work We have no
use for fellows who leave their work
and run into beer saloons every five
minutes, and this kind needn't apply
to us for work"

Sunday Concerts.

Eds. Record Union: The recent
controversy regarding appropriating
money from the city treasury for the
support OF Sunday concerts ought to
meet the careful consideration of every
Christian as we'll as all other law and
order loving citizens. To the minds OF
many the concerts are benefit rather
than otherwise, but to a close observer
the manner in which young boys and
girls often deport themselves is men,
ace to good morals.
There is a certain class of young men
and boys who make a practice Of speak
ing to strangers and MASKING" if you
will pardon the coarse term.
Some young women resent their i'm
pertinence while others invite it. Often
acquaintance are thus formed that ter
inmate in the ruin of unsuspecting
young girls OF course this applies to
week-night concerts as Well and it
might be we'll for mothers to remember
a request made by Professor Babcock
of the Sacramento Grammar School
over ten years ago to the pupils Of his
school, viz: mot attend any of these
concerts unless attended by parents or
some older person."
There is greater reason now than
then for vigilance for the germs Of in
iquity have spread until the Sunday
concerts are more like Fourth Of July
entertainment than anything else. It is
long past midnight often before the
crowds disperse and the aftermath is
the very worst feature. Young men and
women lie on the grass or in the dark
shadows Of trees and their conduct is SO
indecent and disgusting as to offend all
ideas of propriety. There is no doubt
that these lines will offend some who
read but ''the half has not been told
and many music loving people have in
the past absented themselves from Sum-
day, and week night concerts as we'll
on account of this feature.

THE BIG FIGHT.
Crowds Get the News From the
sRecOrd-Uuiou"

There was a great crowd of people in
front of the Record Union office last
night to hear the news of the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons fight in New York. The
report of the fight by rounds was read
to the crowd as fast as received over
the Record Union's'' leased wire, and
judging from the cheers given both
fighters had many friends and admirers.
Whenever Jeffries had the best of It
many would cheer, and when F'itz got
in a "soaker" the other element would
yell with delight.
There was considerable money bet in
this city on the result at two to one and
five to three. The California boiler
maker made quite a little pile for his
hackers. Among these was Andy
Greene, who had declared his faith in
Jeffries from the start. Yesterday Mr..
Greene received the following letter
from his old friend Billy Delaney, JEFF
fries trainer and manager:
Asbury Park, June 3, 1899.
Friend Anthony: Just a line, as by
the time this reaches you the men will

over, win or lose, I will go back to

.'pLUG' MCCARTHY IS HERE.
AN Ex-CoNvICT WHO NEEDS
WATCHING.
He Beat a Chinaman Last Night
and Gave the Officers q
Hard Rub.

About 1880 O'Clock last night cries
for help were heard coming from the
'Washhouses ON L street, between Third
and Fourth, where it appears a power
-tul bully was beating an aged China
man in a most brutal manner. After
leaving the washhouse the ruffian en-
tered an adjoining den, and locking
the door began abusing the female oc-
cupant.
BY the time Sergeant Dolan arrived
quite crowd had collected, but no
one was willing to aid the officer in
arresting the burly brute. When Dolan
attempted to place the man under ar
rest the latter fought the officer most
viciously, and Dolan had to ply his
club vigorously in self-defense, but
finally subdued his antagonist.
His victory was only momentary.
however, for the prisoner soon began
kicking at the officer, and at last one
of the bystanders mustered up suffl-
Gent courage to go to Dolan's assist
ance, and it required the combined eff
forts of the two men to handcun the
drunken rowdy.
When the patrol wagon arrived the
prisoner was carried out and lifted into
the wagon, all the time biting and
kicking at the officers. and after being
laid ON the bottom CT the wagon he
attempted to kick Officer Max P.
Fisher in the face, and also tried to
bite the officers hand.
When brought under the light at the
station Fisher at once identified the vi
cious prisoner as the notorious William
..r ESroy
cisco tough and an ex-convict of two
= terms.
Plug Mccarthy was sent to Folsom
from San Francisco for burglary eight
years ago under the name of William
Burns, and again was incarcerated on
October 30. 1886, for burglary this time
in San Quentin. His term expired on
June Goth of last year, and he was out
only four months when he attempted
to smuggle a quantity of opium into
the prison grounds. He was caught in
the act but was not secured until after
a vicious battle with Guard Griffin.
For this offense he was sent to the
County Jail at San Rafael for six
months. While being taken from the
courtroom to the San Rafael Jail he
cverpowered Constable Louis Hughes
