The totals of the lowest bids received
wen-: For ~jx months, $17,428; nine
months. $19,521; twelve months,s2l,ll3.
The contracts will be awarded on Mon
day next.
It will be observed that the Trustees
have, in response tothe public demand,
obtained bids for the entire year. Sep
arate bids hay.- been asked, however, for
tiie .six months commencing with May
Ist, for the quarter comprising the
months of November, December and
January, and lor the following quarter j
which completes the year.
After the adjournment of the board \
?resterday Street Commissioner McLaugh
in said to a Record-U*rioif<repo iter that,
while he was desirous of having the !
streets sprinkled at all times of the year,
he did not see how it could be done, o\v- ;
to the enormous expense emailed. It
waa his opinion that nine months' sprink
ling would be sufficient—say from Feb
ruary Ist t<> November Ist of each year, j
Th-- months <>i November, December and
January are nearly always wet ones, ;
while In February, March and April
there are move or less high north winds,
which soon turn the mud into dust.
According to Mr. McLaughlin's plan
from $3,000 to sj.ooo could be saved, while
the- public would suffer very little, if any,
Inconvenience. The weather is so cool in
November, December and January that
there is very little evaporation going on,
and dust is a rarity.
It i.-. therefore, not improbable that tlie
other tneml ers ofthe board, who are also
desirous of practicing economy—will
take the same view of the subject that
Mr. McLaughlin does, and try the exper
iment of letting sprinkling contracts run
from February Ist to November Ist, in
stead of irom May Ist to October Ist, as
heretofore.
POLICE COURT.
Vantine Seta Six Months lor Robbing
a Stranger.
Di Chuey and Chung Ah Wall, the
Chinawoman and Chinaman arrested at
Brighton the other morning by Deputy
Constable Swift, for the alleged conceal
ment of money to defraud creditors, were

on a charge of misdemeanor. Through
their counsel, W. A. Anderson, they
for a continuance, and the eases
sei for bearing on Monday next.

WATER TO SWIM IN.
ThoC ilyTrustees Talk Over the Swim
ming BathS* Possible Needs.
After the City Trustees had disposed of
their other boalnew yesterday an informal
conversation was had relative to the pos
sibility of supplying the swimming baths
with 260,000 gallons of water daily.
Thero was no direct proportion before
the board on which t<> act, as the Direct
ors of the association have not yet de
termined joat what tbey win require.
Trustee McLaughlin thought the over
flnwfrnmthw butb* wonld probably be
difficult to handle by the drainage pump.
The subject was finally left to Trustee
Conklin, and he will confer with the Di
rectors of the Swimming Bath Associa
tion before the next meeting of the board
and ascertain their wishes in the matter.
DOWN AGAIN.
sifrnnl Officer Barwlck Reports the
Barometer ns Falling.
The Signal Service temperature at 5 a.
K. and 5 p. U. yesterday was 49° and 73°,
while the highest and lowest was 74° and
48°, with gentle to fresh southwesterly
winds and a cloudless sky. The barom
etrical readings at 5 a. _r. and 5 p. m. were
30.09 and 20.08 inches, which shows that
the barometer is affected by the low
barometer and storm area in Washington
and Oregon.
The highest and lowest temperature one
year ago yesterday was 70° and 47°, and
one year ago to-day 70° and 50 0.
There was quite a low barometer, ac
companied by a rising temperature and
rainy weather, in Washington and North
ern and Central Oregon, where au appre
ciable rainfall was noted.

Change of Deputies.

ployed in Wells, Fargo & Co.'s oflice,
took charge of the ollice of Deputy Clerk
of the Supreme Court yesterday, J. S.
Williams retiring. Mr. Williams has
held the position in this city for the past
four years, and has proved himself a very
competent official*
At the request of Supremo Court Clerk
Brown he has remained in charge of the
ollice here for the last four months. Mr.
Williams contemplates leaving for Wash
ington in a short time.
The new deputy, Mr. Govan, has also
been a very competent clerk, and takes
into his new position the confidence ami
esteem ofthe public.
BASEBALL MATTERS.
League Games Are Like Angels'
Visits in Sacramento,
Sheridan as an Umpire—George Zeiglcr
Denies That He lias Boon Near
Death's Door.
Considerable dissatisfaction is ex
pressed by tho patrons of baseball games
in this city at the arrangement of the
Sacramento schedule. Last year a week
rarely passed without there was a game at
the park, and often there were two or three
contests in one week. As the schedule for
this city is now arranged, however, the
visiting clubs come up and play two or
three games with the home team, on suc
cessive days, and then nearly two weeks
elapse before another game is played.
<)f course, it is too late now to alter the
schedule, but it would have pleased the
public better to have so arranged matters
that at least one game could be seenevery
week.
The next ball game played here will be
on Friday, May Ist (one week from to
morrow), when the oaklands will be
pitied against tbe Sacramentos in three
games. Two weeks will then elapse be
fore any more baseball is seen here. The
San .lose dub will not appear in Sacra
mento again until next June.
lAMPIItE SifKKIDAN.
Many persona are inclined to believe
that umpire Sheridan was too hasty in
fining MeCloskey. while others stand by
Sheridan and say that he was right, and
should not allow any one of the players
to attempt to ridicule him. It is a notice
able fact that the players in the other
teams are exceedingly careful of how
they address or talk to Sheridan on the
ball field, and Manager Finn has In
structed hia men not td argue with him
on any of his rulings, lest the player
j should become excited and say some
thing for which he would immediately
afterwards be sorry.
Sacramentans who attend the ball games
bave a bgh estimation of Sheridan's
I ability as a referee. No doubt he always
endeavors to d<> right, although he may
have his "oif " days, lie never holds aii
extended conversation with any of the
yers on baseball topics, and keeps
himaelf apart irom them as .much aa
p< Bsible. When be comes to Sacramento
with either of tbe Bay teams, he generally
occupies a car OU the train in which the
players do not congregate. Etis appear
ance and his promptness indicate that he
endeavors at all times to be correct and
impartial in his decisions.
KXNOB NOTES.
Yesterday was payday among the Sac
ramento ball players, and they took a
neat pile out of the manager's sack. The
team will go below this morning, to play
the San Francisco Club at tiie Haight
street grounds.
Hustin will undoubtedly rank as the
best batting pitcher In the League.
STANDING OP TITK OLD TEAM.
A copy of the Sporting Life's baseball
guide has been forwarded to this oflice. It
i compiled by Francis c. Richter, and
ia a valuable and very complete book on
baseball. It contains the 1880 records of
all of the players in the more prominent
clubs in the United States, the rules, and
also the national agreement. The por
trait of John J. Mone, President ol the
California League, looms upon one ot the
pages. According to tho "Guide," Bow
; man led the catchers in iielding last year,
Parrott the pitchers, Dooley tha first-base
men, Reitz the second-basemen, snd aiso
the short stops, Ebright the third base
men, and Roberts the fielders. It will
thus be seen that the Sacramento club
gained more than its share of honors.
esieuSß is not D-Tsro.
The Beoobd-Ukiok yesterday received
a letter from George Zeigler, the erst
while Captain of the Sacramentos, who
writes mainly for the purpose of denying
the Story tbat was circulated to the effect
that he was dying of consumption. He
• j s he is at present in * Cincinnati, feeling
•'tip-top,*' and one ofthe healthiest-look
i ing consumptives ■ person could wish
•-. Continuing, Zeigler says: "I felt
awfully sorry when I heard the way the
9 . raiiicntos lost the pennant. Thebovs
ought to have won it hands down. I was
under the weather all last season, and in
no condition t<> play ball, or I would have
made a Letter showing with Pittsburg. I
am going to the coast next fall, and will
spend the winter in Sacramento."
(leorge says he has had offers from the
Detroit, Erie and Dayton clubs, but he
thinks the salaries too low, and has not
signed with any team as yet. He sends
his regards to all of his friends in Sacra
: mento.

SACRAMENTO DAILY KECOBP-TmrON, TIHTBSDAY, APRIL 23, 1891.—SIX PAGKES.
THE PRESIDENT.
Sacramento Will Do Her Best to
Entertain Him,
He Will be Escorted to Capitol Park
by the Military—Committees
Appointed Last Night.
There was a meeting of citizens at the
Court-house last evening for the purpose
of determining how—if at all—President
Harrison should be entertained on his
arrival in this city.
The Mayor called the assemblage to
brder, and stated that President Harrison
would arrive here at 8 o'clock on the
morning of May 2d, and remain two
hours, during which time it was proposed
to entectaiu him in a fitting manner.
Charles F. Gardiner, the Secretary, an
nounced tiie following recommendations
made by the Executive Committee at a
meeting held yesterday afternoon:
First—That a committee of eight be
appointed to meet the President at
Davisville.
Second—That tbo Invitation and Recap
tion Committee consist of one-hundred
citizens.
Third—That the Invitation Committee
act promptly in sending out invitations to
surrounding towns, and to Congressional
representatives from this state, and
prominent persons generally.
Fourth—That the National Guard and
Orand Army of the Republic be invited
to turn out ami act as escort for the Presi
dential party.
Fifth—That the exercises Ibe centered
at the Capitol grounds, and that a suita
ble platform be erected in front of tlie
portico of the Capitol building and prop
erly decorated.
Sixth—That Governor Markham de
li ver an address of welcome to the Presi
dent, and that Senator Booth respond to
tlio President's remarks.
Seventh—That the Board of Education
be respectfully requested to invite the
school children to assemble in whatever
portion of the Capitol grounds they may
select therefor.
General Sheehan stated that in his
judgment a parade by the military would
consume too much time, if the President
was to remain here but two hours. The
people cared more to see the distin
guished gentleman, and it would take
considerable time for every bod v in Sac
ramento to see him in Capitol Park.
J. O. Coleman understood tliat it was
not the intention to have a military pa
rade, but to simply invite the National
Guard to act as an escort to the President
from the depot to tho park.
<'eorge W. Ficks said the members of
the Grand Army ofthe Republic in Sac
ramento were desirous of doing honor to
their distingushed comrade, and wished
to be accorded the privilege of acting as
the immediate escort to President Har
rison.
On motion of W. A. Anderson, the re
commendations as read by the Secretary
were adopted without a dissenting vote.
Tin; question as to whether tiie school
children should be stationed at the M
street or the E-street entrance to the park,
was left to the decision of the Executive
Committee, who will consult with the
Board of Education on the subject.
Major Anderson moved that < 'eneral T.
W. Sheehan be requested to act as com
mander of the escort on the occasion, and
tliat he be empowered to appoint as
many aids as he pleased.
Oeneral Sheehan declined the honor,
but, the meeting insisting, he con
sented to act. He guaranteed tliat, be
tween the Grand Army and the National
Guard, no harm should befall the Presi
dent while traveling through the Capital
City.
It was decided that the other details
should be left to the Executive Com
mittee.

In Memoriam.
Mrs. W. R. Knights died at her home
in this city yesterday morning, alter a
lingering illness. Although very feeble,
there had been nothing to warrant
anxiety as to any rapid change for the
worse, and Mr. Knights had gone to San
Francisco on important business; but
when notified tliat his wife's condition
was alarming he secured a locomotive
and made a rapid trip to the city, and
was at ]fsv bedside when she died. Mrs.
Knights was a lady highly esteemed in
this community, where she had lived for
sixteen years. She was the mother of
Mrs. William Dwindle and Mr. \Y. D.
Knights, who with her husband, survive
her. The funeral will take place from
her late residence, at Twelfth and P
streets, this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, and
the interment will be private.
The death of the little six-year-old
daughter of police oilicer J. A. Wilson
occurred yesterday after a brief illness.
She was an only child, and the parents
are plunged in grief at their loss.
Reagan Gets Three Months.
Whtm the case of John Reagan was
called in Department one of the Superior
Court yesterday, District Attorney Ryan
consented to allow the prisoner to with
draw his plea of not guilty to the charge
of grand larceny, and to plead guilty to
petit larceny.
Reagan is the man who stole a diamond
j from one Nellie Crowley, which she
claimed to lie worth fOC*. The District
I Attorney said he had some doubt as to
the [rem being worth that sum, hence his
j action.
Judge Grant then sentenced Reagan to
three months in the County Jail.
Railroad Changes.
Tho new railroad time-table to go into
efl'ect on May Ist has not yet been ar
ranged, but in addition to the changes
which have heretofore been mentioned,
it is contemplated to resume the local
summer tram between Sacramento and
Colfax, to arrive here at 2:30 i\ m., and to
leave at (fcSO p. si.
The passenger local which goes over
the branch road between Knight's Land
ing and Marysville, wiil run as far up as
Oroville.
Turkeys are "Stock."
During the trial of a case in tho Suprior
Court yesterday a witness, fresh from the
Cosumnes wilds, classed turkeys among
the livestock referred to in a business
transaction.
i "You don't mean to say," remarked
Judge McKuue, "that "turkeys are
stock?"
"Weil, yes," responded the witness,
"Why not? They eat grain and grass, all
the same."
He Is Very Crazy.
C. Connard, the man who was pulled
out of the river last Sunday while swim
ming down the stream, was examined
yesterday, pronounced insane and com
mitted to Stockton, whence he will be
taken to-day.
Connard is very violent, and would
kill himself the lirst moment he got the
chance. Ho lias some money in bank,
and Sheriff Stanley has been appointed
his temporary guardian.
