CRAZY THIS TIME.
John Taylor Recaptured and Sent to
the Stockton Asylum.
Not "Larrupin Jack," Rut a China
Uln Tieud—Accused of Setting
Fire to a ISiiildiug.
John Taylor, a "China-gin" fiend, xvho
was arrested several weeks ago and
sentenced to 100 days' imprisonment in
the County Jail, waa examined for the
second time by the Insanity Commission
ers yesterday.
When examined about a week ago
Jaiton McManna and Johnson of the '
City aad County Jails, respectively, told
the doctors that Taylor had been cutting
.iige capers since his arrest. At the
City Prison, while confined in tho "hobo
cell,"' he gathered up the hats of his cell
mates and, piling them up on the floor,
set them alire. Since his arrival at the
county* bastilo he has been tearing up
blankets and mattresses, putting on all
the clothes he could get hold of ami re
sorting to other similar antics. When
>ned by the doctors, however, Tay
lor talked rationally and explained his
queer actions by saying ho supposed ho
"hadn't recovered fully from his jag"
when indulging in them. The doctors
concluded that xvas about the xvay matters
stood, and declined to send Taylor to au
asylum.
Taylor was then ordered committed to
the County Hospital for treatment, but
whilo en route to that institution iv the
county ambulance he escaped and xvas
D again until yesterday, when he
xvas recaptured. This timo Taylor xvas at
his old tricks. Ho was lound wearing
t-.-v, ra) articles of female attire, including
corsets, petticoat and tho liko.
Alter examining Taylor yesterday, the
doctors concluded that he was insane, and
committed him to the asylum at stock
ton. Deputy Fay took him thero ou the
evening train. Taylor xvas arrested yes
terday on suspicion of having set lire to
the small building at a woodyard oni
street, at an early hour in the morning.
Taylor was lound trying to chop open
the iron safe xvith an ax, after the lire
x\as under control, dressed as above de
scribed.
It is thought that he xvas sleeping in
the building and set fire lo it accidentally,
or carelessly.

How to Adx-anee tho City's IntnrwitW.
Eds. Ri.. oui.-r. ion: I am real glad
that some of our prominent citizens have
taken up the subject of improving our
main thoroughfares xvith other material
than tho present unsightly cobble-stones.
F>ut there is another subject that, in my
opinion, overshadows this and all others,
ami that is bringing manufacturers here
that xvill give employment to our sons
and daughters, many of whom are now
Spending ihi ir time in idleness.
1 read xvith interest General Martine's
al le article on this subject last xveek, and
xvhilo he lauded the good xvork done by
the gentlemen composing the Improve
ment Association, and recommended
them to lako this xvork in hand, ho ueg
lected ie. point out the course for them to
pursue to establish theso workshops and
manufacti r.e s here. :
Money is what talks in theso matters.
11. .w do we expect workshops here, when
our moneyed men are investing their
capital in sheep ranches and waste
lands in other parts of the State? Shoxv
me one of our wealthy men who has ever
spent a thousand dollars in improving
this city. They simply live here, that is
all, because it suits them.
i leneral Marline speaks of the enter
prise of the Stockton people. I differ
xvith him in this. A moro slow and pokey
Bet is not to bo found anywhere. lam
speaking now of the majority of her
towns-people, but xvhat has built her up
is a few of her wealthy men, such as
Shippee and tho like. These men of lar^e
means have confidence in their little
toxvn, and they know by investing their
capital in public enterprises it will bring
other-, and it has; and that is what we
want hero.
1 could name live of our old citizens
xvho could take from their means to-day
enough capital to start twenty work
shops here, and the amount would not le
missed from their Lank accounts; and
xvhat monuments these twenty smoke
stacks would be to them! xvhat a happi
ness it would be to them to see thousands
of young men and women coming and
going to these hives of industry, day after
day. and how much better this xvould bo
than for these wealthy men to own thou
sands of acres of laud, ail te. be loft be
hind, perhaps to a lot of relative- to fight
over, after they havo gone to that shore
where land is of no value.
l.ci some of our moneyed kings show
their hand in fostering these essential ele
ments to our city's growth, and'not ask
those that have done so much for us, and
then we will have a city, and a big one,
too. John Hugh ks.

MONEY FOR THE HOWARDS.
The Supervisors Halse tho Associa
tion's A'loxvanco.
Yesterday xvas ti nance day xvith the
Board of Supervisors and outside of
auditing bills little xvas done of im
portance.
Richard Dale of the Howards appeared
before the board and complained that
..v.! had been expended by the association
for the relief of the poor on orders from
the Supervisors. This money, he thought,
SACRAMEXTO DAILY RECORD-TTXTON, WEDXESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1892.-RIX PAGES.
should come from the County Treasury |
ami not out ofthe association's funds.
Mr. Pates opposed the proposition, but j
Chairman Greer explained that money
turned over to the association and ex- i
pended by tbe association xvas not lost to
the county, as, the State paid it back. It j
would therefore be <|Uite proper, he said, !
that the ?S_ should bo paid back to Mr.
Dale.
Acting on the Chairman's suggestion
the board ordered the money returned.
It was also resolved to raise the assoeia- ;
tion's monthly allowance to (300 during
the winter months.
CRAVENS' BROADSIDE.
He Hopes to Discharge it To-Day at j
Chief Kodgers.
Judge Cravens xvas loaded yesterday, I
figuratively speaking. There was to have ;
been a meeting of the Police Commis- j
(ioners in the afternoon, and the Judge I
had prepared a broadside to be directed
at Chief of Police Rodgers—and mci- j
dentally at tho latter's friends and de
fenders.
The session was not held, as Mayor
Comstock failed to put in an appearance,
but it xvas slat. (1 that a meeting would be
held to-day, when Commissioner Cravens
xvould unload his Pandora-box on
Rodgers' head.
The document xvhich Judge Cravens
proposes to read is said to bo very ;
voluminous and written in gall, and that !
When unrolled it fairly emits sparks of i
fire. It is understood to contain a bitter
arraignment of Chief Rodgers for alleged i
incompetency, and even xvorse, and to bo j
intended as a justification ofthe author's !
acts as a member of the Board of Police !
Commissioners.

FEATHER RIVER.
It Was Higher Thau Ever Before, and
Burst Its Banks.
Patrick Carroll, the well-known Sutter
County farmer, came to the city last even
ing on the steamer from Marysville. He
informs the Reoobd-Unioh that tbe
Feather Kiver xvas four inches higher last
week than over before in the vicinity of
Nicolaus.
Mr. Carroll also states that a break oc
curred in the levee ou the east bank of tho
_ eather, about a mile and a half below
the toxvn of Niculaus, and that thero is a
probability of the river leaving its chan
nel at that point xvhen the next high water
comes. Tho water pouring through this
break linds its way into the basin just i
north of this city.
There is also a big break in the levee on
the west side of the Feather, at the Nel
son Mound, a short distance below that
on the east side.

Inferior Goods.
The only sale xvay for purchasers is to
insist on having the genuine article, and
not allow themselves to be swindled by
having plasters said to be "just as good,"
or "containing superior ingredients," im
posed upon them. These are ouly tricks
to sell inferior goods that uo more com
pare with Aixcock's Porous Plasters
than copier d.-es xvith gold. One trial ol
Ai.u ... k'-. PoBOUS Pi.asi Kits will con
vince the most skeptical of their merits.
The eminent Henry A. Mott, Jr.. Ph. !>.,
F.C.S., late Government Chemist, cer
tifies:
"My investigation of Aiaoock's Por
ous Pi.astkr shows it to contain valuable 1
and essential ingredients not lound in
any other plaster, and I find it superior]
to and more efficient than any other j
plaster."

A RANCHER'S MISTAKE.
Instead of Loading His AVaaon, Ho
Takes a Load on Himself.
In the Police Court yesterday A. It.
Lord, arrested while drunk, explained
that he lived in tho country and came to
town xvith a team. Ho got the load on
himself, instead of on the wagon, but it
xvas quite by accident, and it xvas posi
tively his "lirst time."
Mr. Lord spoke up very candidly, and
the Judge told him bo bad better take tho
team home forthwith.
Jerry Tolly bud also been too drunk for
city regulations, and he smiled a soft
shelled smile xvhen given an opportunity
to explain.
Being a young man, Judge Cravens
thought be could all'ord to pay $o for tbe
attention be had received.
Bill Smith, charged with vagrancy, had
his case continued until to-day.
Jack Leonard, a man old and gray
enough tv bo moro conservative, xvas ar
raigned for being a common drunkard.
The oiiicers testified to bis fondness for
the gin-mills in the Chinese quarter, and
the frequency of bis appearance at tho
City Jail—always drunk.
Judge Cravens also recognized him as
oue of his most unreliable patients. How
ever Leonard produced a witness for
whom lie bad worked, and made such a
vigor. his ploa in defense of his liberty
that he xvas discharged xvith some good
advice.
"I'll trust you again, Jack," said bis
bonar, "but it xxill be a case of common
drunk next lime, sure, and you will get
six months."
And then tho knight xvith the white
hair .strode away, and the court adjourned.
THE ROBBERS FAILED.
They Wero Not Speedy Enough for Ex-
Offioer .Lick Sullivan.
J. M. Sullivan, tbo well-known Demo
cratic politician, xvas overheard last night
relating a thrilling experience xvhich be
fell him during a stormy night lust xveek.
"What do you think of my being hold
up?" said Jack. "Never had anything
of tbe kind happen to 1110 before," and he
related the occurrence, which xvas sub
stantially as follows:
It xvas about midnight, and quite dark,
and Sullivan was about to cross the stl Bi-t
at Fifteenth and .1, when be observed txvo
suspicious characters advancing to inter
cept him.
Ho xvas unarmed, there xvas no one else
in sight aud he xvas somewhat nervous,
having considerable money upon his per
son. He bad drawn £130 "from tbe bank
for the purpose of buying a horse, but
the purchase xvas not consummated.
Seeing the men xvere bent upon meet
ing him midway of tbe crossing, Jack
went back and xvaitod for them to go on.
The men saxv his intention, and Immedi
ately drew toward him, leaving no mis
take as to their intentions.
"What did I do?" queried Jack.
"Why, 1 left! Think I xvas going io
stand still and give up? Not much! 1
leit, I say, and I ran for seventeen blocks,
makiug such time tbat neither of the
thugs xvere in the raco, although they
followed as far as the city limits, xvbere I
doubled back and got homo safe. I've
been nervous ever since. I never ran so
fast and so far in my life. Hold mo up? ,
1 guess uot! aud herftiftor I go loaded." j
"CHRISTMAS MARKET."
I)olightful Affair Managed by tho La
dies of St. Paul's Church.
The "Christmas Market" entertainment
in progress at St. Paul's Church, man
aged by the ladies of the parish, xvas

and standing-room only xvas obtainable
during tbe early part of the evening.
The rooms xvere profusely and taste
fully decorated, aud every available cor
