NO MORE DEPUTIES. The Supervisors Refuse the County Assessor Extra Assistance, Discussion on County Finances—Tho Ramie Man Disappointed—John Bandeen's Complaint. The Board of Supervisors concluded its April session yesterday. All of the members were present and Mr. Greer presided. The committee to whom had been re f rred the petition of County Assessor R. C. Irvine, for four extra deputies to assist him in handling the assessment roll, was called upon for a report by the Chairman. The committeemen, however, had not held a consultation, and asked for time, At the suggestion of Chairman Greer they retired then and there, and indulged in a talk. Returning a few moments later, they again asked for further time, and the re quest was granted. Rater in the day, however, they held another consultation, and as a result ollered the following pointed report: "Your committee which was appointed by the chair to inquire into the matter of the County Assessor's request for four extra deputies, after due consideration begs leave to report that, in its opinion, the salary allowed by law to said County Assessor is sufficient to carry on the work required of him." This was a "stunner" for the Assessor, but the Supervisors had evidently made up their minds to allow no more extra deputies, and they adopted the report by a unanimous vote. KOBBAT ON DKCK. W. H. Murray, the ramie culture en thusiast, appeared before the board and j'.sked for encouragement in getting out a k pec ial Sacramento County edition of the San Francisco Journal of Commerce. He wanted the board to promise to take 2,000 copies ofthe edition for __00, aud dis tribute them. The Super, isors informed the gentle man that the, county had already ex pended considerable money for such ad vertising this year, and they douited if uny more was needed. However, they promised to take the matter nnder con sideration, and give him a definite answer later on. Mr. Murray is of the "never-say-die" order, and remained with the board all day. When the adjournment hour was near at hand he went after the members again. When he threatened them with a Speech Mr. Black jumped up and moved that the board promise to purchaso 10.J copies of the special edition Mr. Murray proposed to print. Mr. Greer seconded the motion, remarking that he would vole for anything that would advertise Sacramento County. Rut when the vote was called for the other three members voted against the proposition, and despite "Mr. Ramie's" entreaties, they would not change their minds. J.ANDKEN _ COMPLAINT. "Recently John Randeen and others pe titioned for a new road near Gait. They represented that they were hemmed in OH all sides so that they could not get off their farms. Tho board proceeded in the usual course to Inquire into the matter "I (fore opening the road, and in that con dition the matter now rests. Bat ihe petitioners, particularly Bandeen, are impatient, and claim that every day of delay adds to their discomfort." Yester day the board received a letter from Mr. Bandeen, in which the latter complained | bitterly of the situation. Among other things, he said in his letter: "1 fed as it is my duty to insist upon some of your honorable bod v to come out and view my petitioned road. I was shamefully abused this morning by William Presbery. 1 wss going to Gait for a doctor for my lit daughter, who is at the point of death with diphtheria, and he stopped me and j l>rl >id tearing down the fence, which ll was told to do by G. Johnson; and I did | cut the wire and go through, and when 1 I came back from « „H with medicine was Stopped by Russell and said 1 could not go through his fence unless I walked i er his dead body. 1 think it is time there was something done, when a man's ' family is sick and be cannot get a road out j togettotbedoctor. [have talked by wire to i < '. Johnson and done as he advised. Rus- j sell has put on two wires and thrown np a ditch. I have sold some loose hay to Ralph Miles, bat cannot deliver ii with tho road iv this condition. Now. Mr. Jenkins, if you can come out and view j the road, I would be glad to have you do so and report to the hoard." The Supervisors expressed the deter m .nation to wait until the proper time ar rived before interfering in the matter, i.i.motion booths. Sup-TVisOT Black ottered a resolution, Hie preamble of winch called attention to the Close proximity of the Congressional election and the necessity for election booths for the county; and the rcsolu- | t n called for the appointment ofa com mittee of two with power to purchase 130 1 ooths ofthe California Rooth Company's { make. This style of booth (the kind that was adopted by the city) was adopted by the board on Wednesday. The resolution was adopted, and Chair man Greer appointed supervisors Bales and Black on the committee. Attorney R. T. Devlin was employed by the board to bring suit to-ecure the collection of commissions for State taxes, v hii h Mr. Devlin has discovered was due from the state to the county tot several j -rears past. It is said that" the money heretofore received by the county was be- I low its due. The amount to be recovered Will reach several thousand dollars. The agreement reached between Mr. Devlin and the board was that he should receivo, by way of compensation, half of what he recovered for the county. Rt'Ml'US ovv:h money matters. Supervisor .Jenkins called tho board's attention to the fact that there was no money in the general road fund and there were a large number of bills to payout Ol it. He therefore moved that j_J_2_ 42 be transferred from the general fond of the county to the general road fund, so as to pay these bills. The roll was- called, and Snpervisors Miller, Bates and Black voted against it. "The motion is lost by the vote of the : city meniiiers,*' said Chairman ('reer. Mr. Rates took the floor and said he did not vote for the motion because there was now oxer Ht-00 in the general road fund. Supervisors Greer and .Jenkins dis puted this, declaring that the Auditor.. report showed that there was no money in that fund. Auditor Johnson substan tiated this. Mr. Rates read the "riot act" to the board for letting contractors go ahead v, ih work, on promises that the money •would come out of the general ro.ul fund. "1 told 3-011 long ago." he said, "that the r ad fund would soon be broke." * _ noticed that you voted for the pay ment of all tins.- bills just the same," re joined Mr. Greer. After a lengthy discussion, however, Messrs. Bates, Black and Miller came to the conclusion that they wore wrong, and on motion of Mr. Black the former vote mis reconsidered. Mr. Jenkins' motion to make the transfer was then carried. The board then adjourned for the term. ♦ MAMMOTH TUSK Immense Ivory Adornment of a Form er Arctic "Critter." *vdam Andrew was exhibiting the tusk of a mammoth yesterday, winch was pre ,-,-nted to him hy Captain Ilealy of the revenue cutter Bear.

Various Offenders Disposed cf in the Police Court. Larson, the "Snipe" Hunter, and Va gr___t Ross More to bo Pitied Than Condemned. E. H. Ratz was in Judge Cravens' court yesterday charged by Sadie Clark with battery. Ratz pleaded guilty, but, Judge Cravens desired to hear the evidence, and contin ued the case until this morning, citing Sadie Clark and Katie Moore as witnesses to appear. IT aiik Kelly, charged with battery by Ratz, also had his case continued until to day. A. A. Rarsen, a scavenger, examined on Thursday for vagrancy, was discharged from custody. Judge Cravens said he might be a nuisance in the community, but ho thought him more unfortunate than otherwise, and that no good would result in confining him. Charles Burchard and Ed Laviel then stood up to receive judgment for disturb ing tho Salvation Army services. Bur ehard pleaded that ho was "not half as bad as that other fellow," meaning Ilaynes, tin-Salvationist, who did most of the lighting on tho occasion. Judge Cravens said that in view of th;> fact that Haynes was a special officer, ap- j pointed on the recommendation of hu- \ morons citizens, and that he lirst admon- ! ished the boys in a quiet way to cease their disturbance, be was warranted in j ejecting them. The court wanted to im press upon them the seriousness of dis turbing any public meeting, and would j therefore give them something as a 1110 --[ mento of the occasion, which something was a line 1 fHu each, or confinement in 1 tiie City Jail for five days. Alexander Fleming, found gniltv of battery upon ono Schmidt, had judgment in his case indefinitely suspended, the Judge remarking that he had acted with sufficient forbearance, in view of the beastly and revolting nature of Schmidt's approaches. J. H. Ross, charged with vagrancy and with being a common drunkard on the Btreets,produced several witnesses wdio testified that ho was harmless aud never troubled anybody further than by ids filthy appearance. He was said to "have eood clothes in wdiich be might array himself, but that he persisted in going about ragged, drunk, and in a disgrace ful and filthy condition. He worked about four days in the week. The court lectured Russ for his neglect ofthe requirements of civilization, and let him go on condition that he would take an occasional bath and conduct him self more decently in tho future. John Fane, Pete Nichols and John Doc, for being drunk, were each sentenced to ten days in jail. ♦ A Sunday Evening I.ec-ture. The theme on which Rev. Mr. Silcox is announced to speak in the Congrega tional Church to-morrow evening is one around which great controversy rages to day, namely: "Tho Origin and Authority ofthe Bible."

Death of One of Sacramento's Pioneer Preachers of the Gospel. A Man Who Was Forty Tears ln the Pulpit—Close of a Long and Csolul "Life. Tho death of Row J. A. Benton, which j occurred at Oakland yesterday, removes from the clerical ranks of the State one of j the ablest ministers of the gospel that I ever came to the coast. For more than I forty years he has been actively engaged ! in expounding Christianity in California, during which time his home has been In Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland. Indeed, Sacramentans have always re- j garded him as one of their own, as it was here that he tirst tilled a pulpit after j leaving tbe Atlantic shore. Key. Mr. Beaton was a native of Gail- j ford, Conn., and 73 years of age. He ' graduated while quite young from Yale College, and afterward took a theological course, in *I!S.-> he sailed from Boston with the Edward Everett Company, as ! chaplain, landing in San Francisco in the ! fall of that memorable year. Coming direct to Sacramento, which was the great supply depot for the mines, he at once engaged in evangelical work and founded the __n*^*-_gational Church in this city. 1 hose were stirring ! times in California, and esp cially in Sacramento, where so many thousands of ! miners had congregated, an 1 he was. obliged to undergo many strange experi ences for one of his calling. No emergency ever arose, however, to which the young clergyman was not equal, and yet he always retained the re spect and confidence of the more ortho- I tio\ members of the church, while being extremely popular among the more Liberal-minded, even the ungodly. old residents of Sacramento have many interesting anecdotes to relate oi their early-day pastor, who was a.way.-among the loremost ofthe citizens In al matters aud enterprises of a public character. As tho years roll by these n niiui-ceiices will be brought out and will furnish pleasant reading to those who knew the deceased only during the Idler years of his life. in 1861-2 Rev. Dr. Benton made a tour ofthe world,and his weekly letters pub lished in tiie Union were read with great ! interest, and republished all over the Union. Shortly after his return from this jour ney he removed to San Fianeisco and was installed _-i pastor c__ne Plymouth Congregational Church. He continued in that sacred oflico until IB_y, when he resigned, much to the re- j gretoi his dock, to take a professorship in the Pacific Theological Seminary, then located in that city, bat now in Oakland. I Deceased was Past Grand Chaplain ofthe | Grand Conimandery, Knights Templar, i of California. Referring to the deceased I prelate, the Pott says: "Dr. Benton, as an expounder ofthe- ! ology, has always ranked among the ! foremost teachers in America. In fact, bis influence has had a more than na tional effect, for wherever our Congreca tionalism has a tirm hold his name is i more or less familiar. "Though always perfectly orthodox in ! his teachings. Dr. Benton was a man of broad mind and infinite charity. "He was as tender as a woman, but ada- ' i mant in his convictions ot right. He was a profound student, and thoroughly well \ ersed in the Greek and Hebrew lan-' guages. He was of a most modest and; retiring disposition, or else ho would long ! ago have occupied the pulpit of some great church, lie preferred the work of j teaching, and ids whole endeavor was to | make the Pacific Theological Seminary the type of all that such an institution should be. "The death of Dr. Benton, following so I closely as it does the deaths of Rev. Dr. A. L. Stone ana Rev. Dr. I. E. Dwinell. will create a gap in the ranks of the < on gregat'onal ministry on this coast that will not bo tilled in many years to came, j "The death of Dr. Benton will be learned with feelings of tho deepest re- ( gret and sorrow by hundreds of old Caii- I fornians who heard him preach in the ' days when the State was but in the in- j fancy of its growth. "lie leaves a widow* to mourn his loss." I TWO WRATHFUL PARENTS. Mr, and Mrs. Ogg Respond to Hogue's Complaint. How They Went After the Alleged Assailant of Their Child—Mrs. lloL'ne Faints In Court. The case of Henry W. M. Ogg and wife, charged by Robert L. Hogue with assault to murder him, camo up in the Police Court before Judge Cravens yesterday. The complainant testified that, ho re sides on the alley between J and X, Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, and that on Tuesday Mrs. Ogg came to his house and demanded to know who was the man living there that had meddled with her littlo girl. Mrs. Ogg, Hogue said, was very much excited and nour ished a revolver, threatening to blow the man's brains out if he was there. Hogue said he was very weak at tho time, and had retired to his room. His mother met Mrs. (>gg and tried to pacify her, but she would not listen to anything. lie said that Mr. Ugg shortly after ap peared with the little girl, a child three years old, and taking her into his room asked her if "that was the man?" The child, according to Hogue, nodded her head *______nat_v_ly, whereupon Ogg struck the witness on the head witli a cane, grasped him by tiie tiiroat and struck him a second blow. He claimed he was rendered unconscious by tho blow, and has since suhered from its ei-'eos. Hogue was cross-examined by Grove L. Johnson, counsel for Ogg, and an swered the questions very guardedly, claiming that lie had no time be ore < >gg attacked him to assert his innocence of the charge of haying meddled with the child. He claimed to be innocent ofthe charge. Hogue's mother, who was present in the courtroom, fainted during the exam ination of her son, and it was home mo ments before she could be brought to consciousness. A neighbor named Seaton, a clerk at 140-J street, testified that lie hoird the screams of Mrs. Hogue, and opon going to tho rescue found Ogg standing o\er Hogue. who was lying upon a bed. Ogg was in the act of striking Hogue with a cane, when he interfered and prevent!• i him. He said (Hogue was then bleeding about the head and lace from the blows intlicled before his arrival. Witness saw Mrs. (tg_ in the room with a pistol, and she said she wanted to see Hogue well thrashed. Under Ins per suasion Ogg theu left the house, notifying the Hogue-* as he did so that he would give the son three days in which to leave town. Ziele further stated that if he had known at the time that Ogg's charge against Hogue was true, he would not. have in terfered. The father of Robert Hogue next testi fied that he was at home whe-n Mrs. Ogg came there with a revolver, and that she would not listen to any explanations, but nourished the weapon, threatening to blow out the brains of the man that had meddled with her little child. Mrs. Hogue was too ill to take the stand, and tho court adjourned until 1 o'clock. When the case was recalled. City At torney Hart asked for a continuance, owing to the sickness of Mrs. Hogue, who had been removed to her home. G. L. Johnson, defendant's attorney, also asked a continuance, having to ap pear in another case elsewhere. Judge Cravens stated that he was anx ious to have the examination concluded, as Mr. Ogg was employed at the Stato Printing Office, and tiie detention from his work was a hardship upon him, but as Mrs. Hogue's testimony was of great importance it was necessary to continue the examination until 10:_0 this morning. Experimental Gnrdon for tho Stato Fair It has boen suggested by the State Su perintendent of Ramie Culture, W. H. Murray, that a special space be set aside near the fair building in the Capital Park to plant ramie, llax and cotton, so that exhibitors could see the librous plants growing, and make a part of the Sacra mento County exhibit this fall. Mr. Murray says ho will guarantee tho sum of "-100, if the directors will con tribute tho di tie re nee to place the plants in the ground and care lor the same. This would make a "live exhibit, that farmers and others would bo interested iv. ——,— _♦■ Real Estate 'I'ransters.

Smith Denied a New Trial and Sent to San Quentin. The Evidence Reviewed at I_e__£**ti_—The Caso "Will he Appealed to the Supremo Court. J. D. Smith, tho dive-keeper, who was recently convicted of complicity in the murder of Robert Allen, appeared before Superior Judge Van Fleet yesterday afternoon, that beiug the time set lor passing sentence. Smith was a eompanied by his attor ney. Alvin J. Ilruner, who interposed a motion for a new trial. Mr. Bruner ar gued tho motion at length, lie declared that the evidence adduced at the trial was totally Insufficient to warrant the con viction of Smith. Admitting, lie said, that the testimony of Gordon and ('aaey, the accomplices Who turned State's evi dence, was of the strongest kind, yet it was the testimony of accomplices, and therefore under the law was not to be given weight. Outsido of the evidence of these two witnesses, declared Mr. Bruner, there was absolutely no proof that Smith was implicated in the murder. The attorney read considerable of the evidence taken at the trial and claimed that it was all contradictory and proved nothing. He dwelled particularly upon the testimony of *'< me-armed Kelly." This witness, ho claimed, completely broke down the stories told by Gordon and Casey. When Mr. Bruner had concluded, Deputy District Attorney Buckley made an argument to the court. He sail that the evidence warranted the verdict ren dered by the jury. Gordon and Casey told straightforward stories, and the jury did right in believing them. Tho murder wss a cold-blooded and most cruel one, and Smith had been shown to ho the arch-conspirator of the whole plot. The evidence warranted a verdict ot hanging. Judge Van Fleet reviewed the evidence at length, and decided that the jury's ver dict was a proper one. He overruled the motion for a new trial. Smith was then ordered to stand np, and the court sentenced him to life im prisonment at San Quentin. This was tho penalty recommended by tho jury. Attorney Bruner gav'a notice that he would appeal tho caso to the Supreme Court. ■•- To-Day! To-Day I Don't forget tho closing out stock of tho Red House. Men's straw hats of all kinds.
