THE STATE FAIR.
An Exciting Day at the Sacra
mento Race-Track.
The Narrow Escape of a Young Woman
Hurdle-Rider.
Winners of the Day's E?ea!s on the Course.
Resignation of Superintendent Larue
of the Pavilion Accepted.
Firclal to The Monsis.) Calu
Sacramento, Sept. 11.— Last night Pres
ident Cox delivered the annual fair address
in the newly opeued children's play-ground
In the annex at the pavilion. It proved to
be very Interesting, and President Cox was
warmly applauded at the close. The play
ground, specially set apart for the benefit of
the children, at once jumped into high
favor, and young Sacramento enjoyed it«elf
to its heart's content. There are free bicy
cles for boys and girls, free swings, free
ernies of all kinds, and several cages of
monkeys that seemed to have unlimited
attractions tor the youngsters.
Tue attendance at Uie pavilion mi very
larpe nßaln last night, and as usual the ex
cellt-nt music attracted a great crowd around
tbe band— taud.
Yesterday's stock parade was one of the
very best and largest ever seen at the
track. It stretched one and a half times
around the course, making it fully one and
a half miles in length. The cattle especially
were out in force, and the best herds in the
State were shown.
Sacramento is filling up rapidly, and the
demand for accommodations is exceeding
the supply. Every Incoming train brings
large numbers of visitors from all over the
State, »nd by to-morrow night the city will
be filled to overflowing.
Horsemen are looking forward with ereat
interest to the meeting of War.da aud Silas
Skinner iv the 81500 race for the 2:18 class
next Tuesday. It promises to be a great
race, and whichever wius will have to show
very fast time. Both of the cracks are be
ing keyed up to concert pitch for the event
and are reported new as doing most satis
factory work. Each side is feeling confident
that its hone will win. 'flic Skinner people
any the mare will have to loner her mark
considerably to beat thn big black stallion,
while the admirers of Wanda say that she
will prove fully worthy of their confidence.
Much credit is due the society lor the ex
cellent arrangements made for the timers
and the reporters. The press stand is
large, convenient and. clean; outsiders are
not allowed to enter it.
This year provision has also been made
by the society [era supervision of the
mutual boxe3. Tliey have appointed a c.ip
able accountant who keeps a full record of
the number of tickets sold for each heat and
of the instant the horses ara started an I the
boxes closed. He checks the figuring of what
each winning ticket rays, and thus the so
ciety is assured that no errors are made
end that the betters get their correct dues.
It is satisfactory all Tumid to the society,
the players and the pool-sellers and much
growling is avoided by this supervision.

WON BY FAVOBITE3.
Four favorites won in straight succession
to-day, being the second day (hut the bang

gray Sblloli gelding, proved himself to be
quite a race-horse by li is easy two victories —
our at one and an eighth miles »nd one at a
mill*. The day's judees were I'residcnt Cox
and Directors Grern and Boggs; the tin.era,
Messrs. AKtiew, Delone and Wilson; the

every one except the losun. L, J. Rose,

Sha was never belter than she is now, and
there i 3 not a tliree-year-oll— nor, for that
matter, anything else it weight for — now
in training in California that can give her
a race, She is a most deceptive working
piece of racing machinery, being bodied
like a wasp, having a bitch-UD in her nigh
bind leg that resembles to the unposted a
touch of stnnchiilt, and a catch in her right
quarter that looks as if the was stilled. At
first sight no one outside of those who know
the ni.iiß would think her of much account,
but set her going and another tale Is told.

The resignation of Director .Lame as su

are appointed in his place. It is reported
that Director Lame has reconsidered his
recent fervid determination concerning his
differences of opinion with his brother Di

Everything is now said to be serene in di

C. li. Perkins. James Williamson, Rollo
V. Watt, C. L. Norton ami Mrs. C. Uodson
presided at the greetings of the Lay Asso

address, expressing sympathy and c- -oper
ation with the ministry and reaffirming
loyalty to the polity of the church. Tim
Epworth League is one, of the cherished
institutions of marvelous growth. The
Boys' Brigade is worthy of most hearty
support ami supplies a great want f>f the
church. R. V. Watt was introduced and
.-!■■■• of the plan of the brigade. The
average salary paid to the ministry of tho
M. E. Church for the past twenty years was
$900. Many got not over $500, and some
not over S3OO. There is, therefore, a neces
sity for some method of providing help for
those who :.re not able to support them.
The result of the first vote on delegates to
General Conference did not elect anyone,
and a second vote was taken, alter which
thetP.lUrs retired while the Bishop replied to
the lay representatives. He assured them
that th» laity had been the backbone and
support of the church In all history both as
to material care and the institutions which
had been built up, and said: "The
closer we stand together and the more
intimate are our relations the more
we will prosper. Your present move
ment is the first in the history of Meth
odism, and it seems tome all the conferences
might have similar organizations. Your
spirit of loyalty to the church is full of en
cmiraeement to me and to tho ministry.
The Epworth League movement will prob
ably develop a spiritual force which will
double our people in five years. It will re
quire great wisdom ami grace on the part
of the ministers to realize it. Thn Epwortli
Guards looks as though it might be of
great value for the boys of our families and
associates. The preachers aid movement is
worthy of support."
Rev. C. V. Anthony of San Jose
ana Rev. J. N. Beard, D.D., Presi
dent of the Napa College, were elected
delegates to the General Conference.
There are two more to be elected. The Liy
Association held a session this afternoon, in

secretaries, addressing th« meeting, stated
that $10,000,000 is given by the various de
nominations for missions. Of this (he
Methodist Church gives over $1,000,000; but
this great church of 2,300,000 members could
give several times that amount, and £50,

Helical churches of Christendom. Ho
stated, also, that the number of converts in
heathen l«u«ls is l'_"{. per cent greater than

A Falling Earn Breaks a Laborer's
Bsck.
Cinco, Sept. 11.— A serious and perhaps
fatal accident occurred here this afternoon.
Jnmes Acook, a laborer, was assisting in
moving a bnrn of Allen Henry.-, and in
letting down the sciews to lower the barn
the underpinning blocks on which the
screws rested slid, and the building, falling,
crushed Acook to the ground, breaking his
back. A heavy timber rested across his
back, aud it took some forty minutes to ex
tricato him. It is not thought that he will
live.
FEDERATED TRADES.
A Flan to Squelch Professional
Agitators.
The Federated Trades om ployed most of
Its time in discussing a proposition to boy
cott a shoe-manof*etuting concern that
has refused to re-employ two members of
the White Libor Lencuo, one of whom was
discharged for refusing to do a certain class
of work prohibited by the union and the
other of whom left the shop at the request of
tho league because he had refused to do the
same class of work.
The lExecutive Committee of the council
roported that the superintendent of the shop
Is willing to unionize the place, but would
not be dictated to by a clique that exists in
the league.
The representatives of the leaeue pleaded
vigorously for the boycott. They declared
that the two men hail obeyed the instruc
tions of their organization, and that the
"clique" which is so oonoxioui to the. shoi>
owuers is the league itself. They also in
timated that If the council did not compel
the two members of their organization to be
taken back they would be blacklisted by the
Associated Manufacturers.
The resolution to levy the boycott was
defeated by a vote of 40 lo 23, a two-thirds
vote being necessary. Another long debate
followed, resulting in tho passing by an
almost unanimous vote of a resolution In
structing the Executive Committee of the
council to call upiu the owner of the factory
and insist that thn two men over whom the
controversy arise shall be rr-emuloyed by
Monday night and that the shop shall be
unionized by the same time.
Delegate Urambaith introduced au amend
ment to the constitution, designed to close
the doors of the council against agitators.
It provides that hereatternone. but journey
men who are employed "ontiuunusly at
their trades or are permanently employed
by the union they represent thai] bo ad
mitted as delegates to the federation.
The Labor-day Committee made, a partial
report, showing that £612 90 had been re
ceived at the gate offices duriug the cele
bration.
J. H. Donnhue. of the White Labor
Liague was admitted as a delegate to the
council, and 11. Neidlinger, elected in pluoe
of a member of the Furniture-workers 1
Union against whom charges are luing
tried by the council, presented credentials,
but it was decided that they should not be

Science is a great thing, but Its revela

Just think of the amount of dirt and the
myriads of living organisms we are swal
lowing every moment we live. It is too
terrible to think about unle9s one has a
good stomach, says the I'ituburu Commer

that the lowest number of dust panicles
ever counted was at Lucerne, when :!500
went to the cubic Inch, and there are
7,000,000 per cubic inch in the ordinary
air of Glasgow, but immediately above a
Bunsen burner an inch contains 489,000,000.

To prove this you have only to fqneeze a

KNOWLTON'S FRIENDS.
Some Ontspok°n Testimony Given
in His Behalf.
The witnesses examined in behalf nf Pro
fessor Knowlton at last night's meeting of
the Boaid of Education we.-c: 11. H. Web
ster, teacher of mechanics in the Commer
cial School; Mrs. M. J. Mayborn, teacher of
science in the Girls' High School ; G. 11.
Jackson and George Battnrs, ex-pupils of the
accused; Piincipal Hamilton of the Lincoln
Grammar; Superintendent John Swett and
Deputy Superintendent Madison Babcock.
All spoke in terms of warm praise of Mr.
Knowltou as a teacher and fair discipliiia-
rian.
Superintendent Swett maintained that no
teacher kept perfect order unless he was an
abaolnte tyrant. Mr. Knowlton's orderwas
not perfect, but it was uu to the average.
On cross-examination Hyde asked if Pro
fessor Knowlton was not related by mar
riiiue to Christopher Buckley.
The question brought au instant and
most indignant protest from Attorney Jor
dan. He characterized it as not only un
gentlemanly but indecent, and he did not
propose to tolerate it.
Colonel Harney thought matters wero go
me a little too far and also rebuked Hyde.
Mr. Swett Intimated that Professor
Knowltun's trouble iv the Ill^h School was
ilue to the conspiracy plotted against him
by Principal Morton, and in which the
other teachers were implicated. The best
teacher ou earth would bo a failure under
like circumstances.
Deputy Bibcock regarded Professor
Knowitoa head and shoulders above the av
erage as a scholar and quite up to the aver
age as a teachor. He had seen the accused
in every capacity, likewise every other
teacher in the department, and could testify
most emphatically that there were a great
many teachors in the San Francisco schools
nowhere near his equal in point of disci
pline aud hopelessly out of bight iv point of
ability as a toucher.
FKL'IT PKICES.
Unfortunate Contractors Who Anticipated
the Season.
F. A. Thomas of Chicago, President of
the California Fruit Transportation Com
pany, Is at the Palace. He is the pioneer of
fruit refrigerator shippers from this coast,
aud states that this year four-fifths of the
California green fruit in tin: Eastern
markets is carried by refrigerator cars, the
proportion last season beinit only about one
half of the total quantity sold from this
State.
"Three years ago," said Mr. Thomas, last
night, "wo fitted up teu cars as au experi
ment, and came here to tiist Cnliforuia fruit
under refrigeration. Both local shippers
aud Eastern buyers were strongly of the
opinion that the system was impracticable,
particularly for California fruit. We sue-
Cessfully refrigerated nil km is of fruit
uuder all conditions, but In the following
season, wheu a company had been estab
lished to carry out the system on the lines
of these successful tests, the only fruit man
In the State who would try the plan was A.
T. Hatch.
" Last year there was such a scarcity of
Eastern fruit that the California orcliardists
found an unusual demand In Chicago and
New York, so the refrigerating cars were
patronized extensively, and now there are
three regularly established companies, with
900 refnueratiiig cars In the business.
"This season the proportion of shipments
is higher, but the total quantity much
lighter than la 18!W, while m. re fruit Is be
ing dried or canned. The reason for this- is,
of course, the exceedingly low prices in the
Eastern market, caused in turn by the
plentiful crops on the Atlantic Coast Dela
ware alone is sending 150 cars of fruit to
New York daily, and similar conditions
prevail in the other great orchard districts
of the Eastern States.
"Tills will not be a very profitable year
for producers, canuers or shippers in Cali
fornia for the reasons I have mentioned.
Before the season opened a number of buy
ers contracted for pears In U c orcuarda of
the Iruit counties her.- at 51 per box. By
tho time the pears are packed and delivered
onboard the cars they will coat Si 50 per
box, and freight and refrigeration will in
crease this amount to $2 50 per box placed
in New Yolk. There pears are quoted, from
$1 in 51 50 per box, so the margin of profit
iv the unlui-tuiiate contractor will be very
much on the wrong side." :jr . :

A suit for $150,000 has been begun In the
Unit-id States Circuit Court by the riling of
a bill of complaint by William O. Mc-
Dowell against Alrick U. Man and James
T. Nelson. McDowell owns 1101 shares
in the New York and Sea Beach Railroad.
During 1833 and 1884, says the New York
Commercial, he acted as vice-president aud
general manager at a salary of $-00 a mouth
during six mouths of the year aud one-fifth
ol thu net earning* of the company. At the
same time McDowell conducted the business
of the Highland Steamboat Company,
which was operated l>y the railroad, aud
from this the company, as sole owner, re
ceived $14,000 in two years.
lv 1604, v.i. en a contract had been en

Directors of the railroad compauy lor

Messrs. Man uuil Nelson, respectively secre
tary and clerk ol the railioad company, be

that McDowell was incompetent and that it
was illegal to ruu the Highland Steamboat

THE YAtiAlilKS OF LIGHTNING.
The I'li-.r Prnnkn Which tho Flniri I'laya
In It* Deadly Fla«h.
Physicists— that is to sny, the physicists
who are not idliug— are now reaping the
aftermath of tho tuuuder-storms which for
a week or more have been the chief meteo
rological feature of our climate. Lightning
of every type— zigzig, with sharply defined
borders, without any apparent width, in
sheets or in the shape of fireballs— ha 3 been
seen, »ud several lives have been lost by
these Olympian thunderbolts. But what is
most curiou9 i- that cattle have been more
frequently struck than human beings, even
when the chances of both were equal. This
has been noticed more thau once by students
of electricity.
Thus, a miller standing between a horse
and a mule wai only shaken a little, while
tlie anini sis were, killed. There is also the
well-known instance of the Abbey cf Noir
nioutiers, near Tours, where a flush of light
ning killid twenty-two horses wilhoutdoing
« 11 v other harm to tho one hundred and
fifty monks whom it vi-ited in tlie refectory
than overturning the one hundred and fifty
bottles which contained their rations of
wine. Again, a case is on record in which
seventy-eliiht sheep and two dogs were
killed, while the woman who guarded them
was untouched. It has also been frequently
observed that the outer members of a party
are struck, while the middle ones escape.

only shaken by a stroke, except the two at
each end, which were killed, and of five
children sitting on a bench only the first
and last were fautliv affected.
This peculiarity may be due, as Arago
suggested long ago, to the circumstance that
the intermediate bodies simply transmit the
charge, and are, therefore, least injured,
just as the parts of a bar of iron struck by
lightning which are most damaged are tho
points »t whicn the current makes Its en

THE E.ND HAD COIIK.
A Coroner and Hig Jury Waited for tbe
Announcement of Death.
Squire Hughes fouud business rather dull,
aud as he sat in front of bis office in the
cool of the eveuing he grew reminiscent.
"One morning some time ago," ho said,
"bs I came uptown I was met by a negro,
who told me that a woman ot his race had
just died in a room on First street, and
they wanted me to go and hold an inquest
I was willing and tlie negro conducted ma
to the place. An I went along I collected a
jury, an that when we arrived at the corpse
everything whs ready for business and tne
jurors' oath was administered. The corDse
was wrap ed in white and lay on a bed.
One of the jury ventured to take a look at
it. He felt around for a time, aud pres
ently exclaimed:
" "Squire, that woman is alive!'
*' I was certain she was dead, for it was
then more than three hours since she had
been laid out, but I went up, and sure
enough I found the llesh still warm, and
si i/ ht eviden c of perspiration.
" Sind for a doctor," I said.
" In about an hjur the alleged doctor ar
rived. He was a negro, who knew no more
about the i hysiciau's bu.lness than a child.
" The people were very excited when the
doctor arrived. The presence of the Coro
ner was enough to awe the n groes some
what, but with the possibility that the
doctor might prouounce the dead woman
alive their superstitious feelings were
aroused to the utmost, and not a word was
spoken as tlie doctor approaeh-d the corpse
to apply his tests. Yuu could bars heard a
pin drop in the room.
" Tin- negro's methods were calculated to
intensify the awed stillness. He went in on
tiptoe. First he felt tho hands of the corpa»
to tee if t:i"y were clammy. He uttered not
a word. He placed his ear over the lungs
and heart to catch the breathiug or heart
beat. Still he was not Butistiud. Tlie spec
tators looked on spullbound. Slowly thedoo
tor pulled a small mirror from his pocket,
aud with li is handkerchief wiped it perfectly
clean and dry. He held this to his lips and
nostrils of the corpse for a short time aud
then lo iked at it slowly aud carefully fur
signs of respiration. Three times he re
peated this, slowiy aud deliberately, not a
whisper or movement breikin^ the stillness.
"De functions ob life hub cea«ted,' the
doctor anuouueed. and the spell was broken.

few minutes the cliunK of humanity was

MUICDER MOST FOUL.
A Policeman's Throat Cut From Kar to
Ear by a »gro Servant.
A tragedy occurred in the fashionable
district of One Hundred aud Fifth street,
west of Central Park, on a recent morning,
according to the New York Mail and Ex
press. Officer John J. Sherman lost his
ife, his throat being cut by a keen-edged
razor in the hands of au infuriated colored
servant employed by Alexauder L Hyer.
Mr. Hyer had called in tlie officer to arrest
the servant, Francis Noah, aged 30, and the
fellow offered violent resistance. Then It
was that the terrible scene of blood was en
acted, when Mr. liver ruahed out to sum
mon assistance. When the murderer was
cornered an<t could not escape arreit he at
tempted suicide.
It seemt that Noah had come to Mr.
Hyer.s Hat druuk, and became insulting
and resisted wheu Mr. Uyer tried to put
I , i -ii out. Thereupon he called in Police
man Sherman, who had beeu on duty but
ten minutes.
The otlicer found Ihe negro in the kitchen,
anil in the struggle of trying to put him
under arn-st dragged tlw man to t'le front
room. Here it was that Noah drew a razor
and slashed the unfortunate officer's throat
with n fearful gash that completely severed
the windpipe.
The clutch of the, unfortunate man's hand
on the prisoner relaxed with the uerwk'ss
ness of approaching death, lie staggered
toward the front window in tbe vain ;it
tempt to summon assistance, mid fell dead
in his tracks.
In the nii';intiiue officer Leggett was sum
nioued to arrest tlie murderer, who, by that
time real z;ng the ouormity nf his crime,
had hacked. Ins own throat with the blade..
Noah was brought back from the Manhattan
Hospital, where he had be>'U Uken at first,
ami locked up in t lie sUtion-housc.
The body of the br.tve officer lay where
he had fallen lv llih parlor of the flat until
the arrival of Coroner Schultz, who gave the
permit for its removal.
A TIGER AT LARGE.
He Becomes Furious and Demolishes
Every i'ortable Article in the liouse.
John Boorke, a liquor-iuade tiger, was
loose in his home, in Caindeu. It would be
hard to find a whole article of crockery or
au unbroken piece of furuituro in thu house
to-day, says the Philadelphia record. Even
Mrs. Koorke's face is damaged, and for a
time she leared that her life light would go
out. A crowd flocked around the front of
the house and listened with buted breath to
the cyclone-like destruction going on w ithin.
Koorke had sat down to bis dinner, but
the roast beef had not been done to the
turn that exactly suited him. He yelled
out his objections, picked it up and hurled
it across tho room witn a spluttering crash
against a window-frame. He did not waut
his potatoes inasl.ed, and they followed the
roast, though a lot ol them made a plaster
ing for the wall. Stewed tomatoes fol
lowed tho potuti-es, and gravy splashed
like spray from the ocean. Dislies crashed,
on the floor, and the tiger started to clean
out his house.
Chairs, table?, mirrors, pictures and or
nameuts flew like the wreck of a barn in a
tornado. The crowd outside heard crash
after crash above the roaring of the tiger
aud the screaming of his wife, who was
struck in her endeavors to pacify him. In
the course of his search Roorke espied a
dozcu eggs in the kitchen. Gathering them
up he stood on one side of the frout room,
or parlor, and pelted the opposite wall until
it was one mass of yellow, sticky ooze that
will require hours of cleaning . When
liborko had about exhausted his resources
a pol ceii. .iu was sent for and the tiger wa9
caged at the City Hall.
One Thiug Geurgo Didn't Know.
They were walking on a hillside over
looking Lake Chainplain.
"George, dear," she said, "how charming
it is to gel away from, the honied city and
its artificial life and spend a few weeks
among these simple rustics. What are
those little green things growing on those
trees? They look like gooseberries."
"Those are apples, Mabel."
"George, how absurd you are! Apples?
Those little things! I'm going to ask this
wee country girl, riiid see."
"Nonsense, Mabel; don't display your
Ignorance. D'>n't yon think I know?
Those are apples in their first stage, far
from ripe yet, small and green. Goose
berries don't grow on trees, anyway; they
grow en bushes."
"Dear George, how clever you are to
know all those thing*. Where did you
learn it all? How heavily the trees are
loaded! All but one. Look at that one.
Look at thin one. George. It has no apples
at all 011 it. What Is the reason of that,
dear?"
"Well, really, Mabel, I know a good deal
about things in general, but it's a little diffi
cult to say just why that tree has no apples.
1 presume the farmer has picked them all."
But, George, how could the apples on one
tree ripen so far ahead of the other?"
"Perhaps he likes them green."
"Then why not pick some off the other
trees?"
"What a little tease it Is," said he. "Per
haps the wind shook them off; perhaps cat
erpillars destroyed the buds; perhaps a
dozen things, dear. Agriculture is a pre
carious pursuit About us safe as poker, I
should say."
"Now, George, dear, just let me See if
this little girl knows."
"Little girl, can you tell me why this tree
has not a single aiiylu on it, while the others
are fairly loaded?''
"Caiitli ittn not an apple tree, ma'am."
And it wasn't.
