LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BASLER MURDER. Comments of a Seattle Paper on the Crime and Victim. Si'.r : ;ne murder of G. A. Basler, in Seat!!, the newspapers of that place have hail a gr.»at dual of comment upon it. The first dispatch received here in regard to the murder stated that a womin was mixed up in the t.i.^-r. but this statement seems to have beei: entirely unfounded. Basler kept a livery «lab'e in this city, and was well know:.. f;ere. At one time he was con- sidered wild,"' but he went to Seattle, set- tled down and became a sfeadv busines" ma::. The Seattle Lxlcpendetit, in com- ment-rig on the murder, says: " The kill- jngol Mr. Basler, the owner of the Lake Unioi iunary, appears plainly, from all thai 'us* been heard about it, to ba a brulal premeditated murder. It was committed by a man who has lived only a short time on this roast, and who seems to think, to judge from lim actions and threats pre- vious tt the deed, that a little shooting in this fti- Northwestern couniry is per- misbible. It is to be hoped, for the safety of our ctizens and for the better informa- tion of, and as a warning to, the strangers in ou: midst, who may imagine that they are outside of the pale of civilization, that swift and sure retribution to the full extent of the law will follow the murder. "Mr i'.asler has been a quiet, inoffensive citiz- r. vho labored hard under the most difßcnll ::rcunistances to establish a white bwm Iry to compete with the Chinese wash- hooi lie has been a useful member of our community, and nobody who knew him can help feeling shocked at his un- hmel end: Let justice revenge the crime oom . : gainst him and the community without delay, or we may expect other mv • - to follow this one." A PIOM*ER>.«- DEATH. Tho in -^ Findley Dies at Georgetown of Acute Pneumonia, gram received by the Record-Union Wedneiday evening announced that Thos. Findley died early that morning of acute pneumonia at Georgetown, El Dorado county, where he has for many years been engaged In superintending ditch and mm Ing operations. The body has been taken to San Francisco, where the widow and six or seven children reside. In speaking of his death the Nevada Transcript says : In the early fifties Mr. Findley' drove a freigbtiui: team between this city and Sac- rameoto. In about ISoC he opened a grocery '.-..re at Grass Valley, and after- wards conducted at the same town a private bank, wLich failed in 1875. In i.SOC- he was elected State Treasurer on the Democratic ticket, and served one term. His satisfactory administration earned for him the cognomen, " Honest Tom.'' In 180 he was again a candidate for the same position on what was by its enemies called the " Secession ticket." He ran some 4,000 votes ahead of the ticket, but was nevertheless defeated. In 186E end -main in 1871 he was a candi- date for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Both times he was defeated, his successful competitor on one occasion be- ing Governor Haight, who was afterwards elected. He Wi:r the original contractor for the buildin," ot the Nevada County Narrow Gun:: 1. \-oad. ' >. - the failure of the bank at Crass Valley he removed with his family to San Fra:: .. The foregoing sketch of his life is ob- tained from some of his old-time friends here, who quote the dates from memory. He is very highly spoken of by them, and sorrow a: his death is expressed here among b:s pioneer acquaintances, who held him in high esteem. Death of Two Pioneer-. Uecrgi Mi Kee, who bas resided in this section iui ever thirty-Qve years, died at the residence of bis daughter-in-law Mrs. May McKt''.', yesterday morning. De- ceased r*ar the father of Auditor McKee, and -..: the time of his death was 88 years of age. He was born in county Armagh iv 18Q5, and emigrated to America in 1818. He :iassei bis youth in Canada, and in the eariy fifiVj removed to California, where he since resided, l-'or a lime he worked in the mines of Calaveras, and was a resi- dent of Mokelurune Hill. On leaving tbe mines, many years ago, he came to Sacra- mento, cv.v since that time resided In this and Yolo counties. The funeral will take place to-morrow from No. 513 J street. Andrew M.Thomas, one of tbe oldest printers on tbe coast, died Thursday even- ing at his residence 328 P street, after a protracted illness. He was one of tbe tirst printers who engaged in that business on the eoasl; has been connected with the typographical department of several of the best j v.irnals in the State, and for many years was employed at the Stale Printing otlice. He was born in New York, served his apprenticeship in ihe Government office at Washington, and came to Sacra- men'o in 18S0. He was 70 years of age at the lime oi his death, and leaves a wife to mourn bis loss. He was a member of Capitol Lodge, I. 0. O. F. His funeral will take piacc from his late residence at 3 p. m. to-day. The Columbus Kxhiblt. Tbe Sacramento fruit which was sent to be distributed at the Exposition in Colum- bus. Ohio, created a sensation, and no doubt made many a Buckeye wish he lived in th,:> glorious valley. E. K. Alsip, who had charge of the exhibit, wrote to a friend in this city as follows : " The carload of fruit arrived here in good shape, though some oi it was spoiled. It was a sight worth going miles to witness, to see the people fight and scramble for the fruit when it was given away. We have been giving it away three days, and still have sotiu' left. I gave a fruit and wine banquet to the press. Aldermen of the city, etc., to- nigh'. The exhibit bas been the srrandest success and best advertisement California ever bud. I could have sold all the fruit for i 3 and $10 per box. The pampas plumes captured them all. They offered $1 a piece for thena, and 50 cents a piece for the palm leaves, bnt we told them there was nothing to sc;!. that i' was all to be given away. I go to Philadelphia from here." Failed to Connect. Dr. Louis H. Schneider, the German orator fiom Washington, D. C, who was billed to speak at Turner Hall last evening in behalf of Cleveland and Thurman, failed to (.'innect. Those two well-known Teu- tonic citizens, M. J. Burke, Vorsitzer, and J. J. O'Connor. iSekretaer, were at the de- pot at C a. m. yesterday with their pockets full of pretzels to meet the distin- guished orator, but be failed to materialize. Later a telegram was received announcing that Dr. Schneider bad been taken sud- denly ill, and stopped over at Salt Lake City for medical treatment. The meeting was therefore postponed, but it is under- stood that the eloquent German willspeak here some time in October. Highest and Lowest. The Signal Bervicc temperature yesterday at 5 a. m. was 61°, wind southeast and six miles an hour ; 12 m., 84°, wind west and four miles per hour; 5 r. m., 87°, wind south and four miles per hour.

Judge Buckley's calender was a short one yesterday. J. W. O'Meara and C. B. Pressy having pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace, were fined $10 each. Patrick Friery was fined $5 for being drunk. Dan Dailey, Fred Martin, Henry Rusk and P. O'Connor were arraigued on a charge of larceny in having stolen some shovels, lanterns, a mallet and a hatchet from a box beloneing to the Electric Railway Company. Rusk and Dailey plead guilty- and O'Connor and Martin stood trial. The evidence was so conflicting that they were discharged. Itusk and Dailey were each ordered to pay a fine of $40 or go to the County* Jail for forty days. Subsequently Rusk informed the Court that one of his children had died since his arrest and another was at the point of death. The Judge was handed a letter from Mrs. Kusk, dated at Ileno, in which she related the sad condition of her child and reproaches her husband for leav- ing her penniless in the midst of so much misery. The Court reconsidered the sen- tence "of Kusk and took the case under ad- visement until this morning. A BOLD THIEF. He Steals a Vaiuahle Horse and Disposes of it Promptly. Early yesterday morning 0. A. Koehler stole a valuable horse from the stable of C. McCreary, at Tenth and L streets, and sold it to the foreman of a down-town livery stable for $10 and a watch. He also had in his possession a boy's saddle, which he sold to a prize-fighter named Morrisey, at tbe Tiv.ili saloon, for .sl* Tbe latter sold the saddle egjin to an lialiau for $3 50 aud a "treat." When the loss of Mr. McCreary's horse was reported to the police in the morning, special ollicer Good remembered that he had seen a man with a saddle on his arm about two o'clock in tbe morning, and at once set out to find him, which he soon did in a barber shop on Xstreet, between Third and Fourth. Koehler at first refused to give his nsmc or tell anything {"about himself, farther t'aan he came from Austra- lia in a balloon, but his named was dis- closed by papers found on nis person. It was subsequently ascertained that the sad- dle belonged to judge Van Fleet's son, aud was taken from the barn of bis grandfather, R. S. Carey, at Tenth and H streets. LOCAL BREVITIES. A new twenty-five foot flag was hoisted m the State Capitol yesterday. Ten carloads of bops were loaded at the rcight depot yesterday for shipment to the r'.ast. The Governor has appointed J. S. Mur- ray, of Eureka, Humboldt county, a No- tary Public. The double line of track from the Benicia ferry to Oakland Point is nearly completed and will greatly facilitate the operation of the road. For some time past it has been almost impossible to handle the immense traffic over this portion of the Southern Pacific's system. The attorneys in the case of W. W. Cone, held to answer in the Police Court to the charge of petit larceny, for receiving and appropriating a money order sent to C. A. Houghton, settled the bill of exceptions yesterday morning for an appeal to the Su- perior Court. The Dried Fruit Association. The Trustees of the Dried Fruit Associa- tion, chosen at the recent meeting of fruit- growers, met in Sin Francisco yesterday and elected the following board of officers : President, A. T. Hatch; Vice-President, H. Weinstock; Secretary, W. H. Bramhall; Treasurer, Grangers' Bank. General Man- ager, General John T. Cutting. Executive Commit :ee—A. T. Hatch, P.. B. Blowers, JohnT. Cutting. The General Manager leaves for the East in a few days to visit tbe principal markets with a view of making arrangements for the sale of the great crop of dried fruits and raisins that the association expects to handle. He will pay special attention to the matter of developing markets for the sale of dried wine-grapes, which thus far in the history of California fruit-culture have been offered East only in small lots. The association has before it a Held for ac- complishing a great work in tbe interest of Calitornia fruit-growing, and therefore de- serves the hearty support and encourage- ment of not alone the fruit-growers, but of all who feel the importance of enlarging the markets for our products. The association will aim to adopt such methods as will enable the smallest grower of dried fruit to enjoy every advantage in the way of freight rates, transportation and marketing facilities that are now enjoyed only by the extensive dealer or large grower. It willfurther aim to secure the highest market rates ?.mi prompt cash returns for fruits placed at its disposal, and to reguiate distribution so as to prevent the fruit com- ing into competition with itselt. Metropolitan Theater. Charles C. Maubury and Miss Nellie Boyd this evening and to-morrow night will pi esent Clarke it Tyrrell's spectacular drama of humanity, " His Natural Life," in six acts and eight tableanx, with new scenery by J. R. Wilkins, novel mechanical devices and appropriate costumery. Tbe company supporting is represented asgood. Miss Boyd is well known here as painstak- ing and experienced. Maubury is repre- sented as a fine, manly actor, hearty and warm iv manner and "not given to* over- acting. The piece, as produced at the Al- cazar, San Francisco, was a success, say tbe local press, and as a pictorial play of strong human interest, splendidly mounted. Grove L. Johnson's Speech. The speech delivered by lion. Grove L. Jobnson at tbe Clunie Opera House on Tuesday ereninf last has created a great deal of comment. It was an eloquent, able and elaborate piesentation of tbe political issues of tbe day, ss well as a reply to the address of Colonel John P. Irish from the same stage two weeks ago. A full steno- graphic report of the speech was taken for the Rkcord-ITnion and will be published in to-morrow's issue. It will be read with interest by members of all political par- ties. Shurburn's Auction. W. 11. Sherburn will sell at lo a. m. to- day, at his auction rooms.

The incendiary placed a lighted candle in the midst of a lot of papers sat- urated with coal oil, on the lower floor of the building, and left it to set fire to the plac? when it should burn down. He also poured coal oil over the floor and uj)on the porch. Tbe fire was accidentally discovered by a colored lad who sleeps in the building, who extinguished the candle and reported the matter to bis employer, B. F. True, who resides on the upper floor of the build- ing. An Unlucky Stable. At 11:15 o'clock last night an alarm of fiie was sounded from box 43. The depart- ment responded immediately, and found tbe fire in the rear part of the brick portion of tbe Fountain Livery Stable, on the south side of J, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. The fire originated in a pile of loose bay in the basement. The same stable caught fire about the same hour of the night a few weeks ago. The damage was slight. Live Stock at Auction. M.

It Took Thirty-nine Days for the News to Reach the Coast. A correspondent wrote a few days since to the Becobd-Union asking the date when the news was received in San Francisco of the admission of .California as a State into the Federal Union. The Alta Califoniia of October 18. 1850 issued an extra about noan of that day, in which it said: " This morn- ing the steamer Oregon, Lieutenant Fatter- son commanding, announced her appear- ance in port by heavy cannoning. She was decorated with flags from stern to stem, and the moment she appeared in the bay it was known that California had been aamitted a State into the Union. The city was wild with excitement." The following is an extract published from the Kew York Tribune, of September 9, 1850: "We are at last enabled to send the news, so long awaiting our fellow-citizens on tbe Pacific coast, California is admitted into the American Confederacy, and to-dsv takes rank as the thirty-lirst State of the Union. The bill for her admission was brought up iv Ihe House Saturday, and after a short discussion passed, as it came from the Senate. The fifty-seven votes against the bill were all from the ultra-Southein men.hers. The Representatives of California will probably take their seats to-day. The news has been received almost everywhere with most unbounded satisfaction. At Wash- ington 100 minute guns were lired on Sat- urday evening, followed by a display of fireworks. In this city many of the hotels and public offices hoisted the national Hag in token of rejoicing." John 0. Fremont and William M. (J win were sworn in the same day as Senators from California. I The Crown Anemone. The crown or garden anemone, which is much cultivated in climates where the winters are less severe, is comparatively little known in the gardens of the North- ern and Western States. The difficultyof raising these plants at the North is the sensitiveness of their tubers to frost. If they are plauted in the fall aud are so pro- tected by means of leaves, evergreen boughs or litter that the ground does not freeze, they will come through all right in the spring and bloom abundantly quite early, or soou after the frost leaves. The plant is a native of the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, where the winters are not severe. It can be very successfully raised as a winter house plant if it is borne in mind that it is a hardy plant in a climate which, though not severe, nevertheless has a win- ter of some frosts. The most to !>e feared for it iv the hands of most persons is that it willbe kept too warm. It should be treated much the same as hyacinths and tulips in pots, only, perhaps, giving it a longer rest. Plant a tuber in good soil in a five-inch pot, iv autumn, water gently, and -tand it away in the cellar. Give at- tention occasionally, and do not let the soil become quite dry. Leave itwhere the frost cannot get at it, and during the win- ter it will be making roots. About the first of February it can be brought into the window and given a cool place. It will_ soon begin to make stout growth, aud in time willcome to perfection. Do not attempt to hurry by giving it a warm place. As the season advances it should get and can stand a higher temperature, but it blooms early and passes away early in the spring. Those who have never raised it as a window plant will derive much pleasure from a trial of it, planting a number of the tubers in order to have several of the many pleasing varieties.— 1 tori Magazine for September. The Microbe of Dysentery. Chantemesse and Widal report the dis- covery of a specific bacterium in dysentery (Pi-oiji'i's Medical, April 21,1888)." Work- ing in C'ornil's laboratory, they have studied five cases of tropical dysentery, and have found the same microbe in the lesions and stools of a fatal case and in the stools of four others. Tlie bacteria were found in colonies in and between the tubu- lar glands of tbe intestine, in the lymph glands and spleen. The organisms develop rapidly at the ordinary temperature, thriv- ing on all tbe usual culture media. They are bacilli, with rounded ends, and some- what thicker in the middle than toward tbe extremities. They grow luxuriantly in sterilized water from the Seine. Fed to guinea pigs, pure cultures produce intes- tinal inllammation and necrosis, the stom- ach itself being affected. The lesions are more marked when the gastric contents are rendered alkaline. Intraperitoneal injec- tions cause death in two or three days with peritonitis, pleuritis and pericarditis. The liver is aflected in these animals, necroses with colonies of bacilli being found in the portal areas. All the lesions in the experi- mental cases furnished pure cultures of the bacillus. From these facts, and tbe absence of Ihe bacillus in the faces of healthy men, Chantemesse and Widal feel justified in claiming specific properties for this bacillus. In commenting on this •paper, the Medical News says that, although the observations made are too few in num- ber to bring absolute proof, they are of interest as being the first in which so much has been accomplished. Numerous other investigators have described micro- organisms in dysentery ; bnt none, up to this time, have succeeded in cultivating them. Further developments will be awaited with interest. Kisses. In the old days, when powder and rouge were indispensable, a gallant gentle- man kissed tlie hand of his fair lady, and her hand was kept immaculate, that this kiss might mean much to him. Nowadays men don't stoop to kiss your hand; it would get their pants out of shape. So a clean face becomes a necessity to a woman who has any liking for that expression of affection which is generally approved of tad seldom well done. Tlie only kiss worth having, says a writer on the sub- ject, is tbat of a nice baby, and if the baby doesn't give it, it only submits to it, and keeps its sweet, dainty, perfumy little mouth shaped like an O, as it waits for you to discover just bow delightful it is. Men's kisses are like Scotch whisky— tliey are apt to lie smoky. Children's DM :ire inclined to cover one's entire face, but a baby simply exists and lets you take a mouthful of the breath of Araby. .Men have an idea that their kisses are ap- preciated—they are most immensely mis- taken. The average man gives a kiss just as lie throws a baseball—with too much force, li ought to be as delicate as a ro-c- --leaf. Almost a memory in a second. It need not suggest a postage stamp nor a porous plaster. One lady says: "1 could write a book on kissing, but mankind is so determined that I don't think he'd take any advice on the subject, and yet, as it is the women who receive the kisses, they certainly ought to know more about them than the great, big, stupid creations who give them."— Troy Times. Building Lots at Auction. D. J.

It may be worth knowing that water in which three or four onions have been boiled, applied with a gilding brush to the frames of pictures and chimney glares, willprevent flies from lighting on them.

Freer, who has been lying seriously ill in San Francisco since last May, died in that city Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. The information, although not entirely unexpected, was nevertheless a shock to the entire community, as tbe pub- lic had been led to believe that although his illness was undoubtedly serious, yet there were reasonable prospects of his ulti- mate recovery. The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Feliows, of which Judge Freer was a consistent and exemplary member, is now in session at Los Angeles, aud it is probable that that body, in conjunction with the Grand Lodge of California, will take charge of tberemainsami conduct the obsequies in an appropriate and imposing manner. ITudge Freer received his education at a lege in Benicia, where he made his mark a youth of far more than average lity. After a few years spent in other rsuits, he turned his attention to the r, and was not long in being admitted as attorney, and soon after went to reside :h his parents in Oroville, where he be- ne a leading spitit in legal circles. His t entrance into tbe political arena re- ted in his election to the Assembly from tte county. When his term expfred he 3 elected District Attorney for the same inty, and four years ago" he was, by a y large popular vote, elected Superior Igeof the same county. He had yet > years of his term to serve in that office. was one of Ihe leading members of the organization of Odd Fellows ou this coast, and repeatedly he was summoned by the R's of the majority of the Grand Lodge he State to represent it in the national y. Three months ago he was elected to tbe Sovereign Grand Lodge, now in ses- sion in Los Angeles. Judge Freer's name has of late years been frequently mentioned in connection with Congressional and Gubernatorial honors and there is little doubt that, had his life been spared, he would have been called by the people to even higher places oi trust and honor than he had yet tilled. He was very popular among men of all shades of political opinion, aud always led his party when a candidate. Judge Freer was one of the most modest and unassuming of men. He was, withal, a man of commanding presence and dig- nity, and would commandatteution among an army of citizens anywhere. Among the friends of bis youth he was still the genial, pleasant "Leon," when off the bench. He was a great admirer of field sporu, was an I shot and angler, and was last d President of the State Sports- sociaiion. He was a man for * years the greatest honors of citizenship stood in wailing. >ry will long be cherished by in, woman and child whose ne it was to have been among rcle of acquaintances.

This waa finally stop- ae was left so weakened and that he was unable to leave his gh even then the greatest hopes were entertained of his eventual recovery, but these hopes, born of the wishes of too sanguine friends, were rudely dispelled by tbe sad news of his demise. Judge Freer had very few, if any, ene- mies, but his friends are numbered by the thousands.

The modes of death's approach are va- rious, and statistics show conclusively- that more persons die from diseases of the throat and lungs thau any other. It is probable tba, everyone, without exception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into the system, end where these aonus fall upon suitable soil they start Into life and develop, at first slowly, ami is shown by a slight tickling sensntion in the throat, and if a'lowed to continue their ravaees they extend to the lungs, producing con- sumption, and to the head, causing catarrh. Now ail this is dangerous, and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with prompt- ness; allowing a cold to go without atten- tion is l»ngerous, and may lose yon your life. Ao soon as yon feel that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup, it will 6,-ive you immediate relief. BACRAMENTO DAILY BECOHD-uyiOff.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.THE BASLER MURDER.
Comments of a Seattle Paper on theCrime and Victim.
Si'.r : ;ne murder of G. A. Basler, inSeat!!, the newspapers of that place havehail a gr.»at dual of comment upon it. Thefirst dispatch received here in regard to themurder stated that a womin was mixed up inthe t.i.^-r. but this statement seems to havebeei: entirely unfounded. Basler kept alivery «lab'e in this city, and was wellknow:.. f;ere. At one time he was con-sidered wild,"' but he went to Seattle, set-tled down and became a sfeadv busines"ma::. The Seattle Lxlcpendetit, in com-ment-rig on the murder, says: " The kill-jngol Mr. Basler, the owner of the LakeUnioi iunary, appears plainly, from allthai 'us* been heard about it, to ba a brulalpremeditated murder. It was committedby a man who has lived only a short timeon this roast, and who seems to think,to judge from lim actions and threats pre-vious tt the deed, that a little shooting inthis fti- Northwestern couniry is per-misbible. It is to be hoped, for the safetyof our ctizens and for the better informa-tion of, and as a warning to, the strangersin ou: midst, who may imagine that theyare outside of the pale of civilization, thatswift and sure retribution to the full extentof the law will followthe murder.
"Mr i'.asler has been a quiet, inoffensivecitiz-r. vho labored hard under the mostdifßcnll ::rcunistances to establish a whitebwm Iry to compete with the Chinese wash-hooi lie has been a useful member ofour community, and nobody who knewhim can help feeling shocked at his un-hmel end: Let justice revenge the crimeoom . : gainst him and the communitywithout delay, or we may expect othermv • - to follow this one."
A PIOM*ER>.«- DEATH.Tho in -^ Findley Dies at Georgetown of
Acute Pneumonia,gram received by the Record-Union
Wedneiday evening announced that Thos.Findley died early that morning of acutepneumonia at Georgetown, El Doradocounty, where he has for many years beenengaged In superintending ditch and mmIng operations. The body has been takento San Francisco, where the widowand sixor seven children reside. In speaking ofhis death the Nevada Transcript says :
In the early fifties Mr.Findley' drove afreigbtiui: team between this city and Sac-rameoto. In about ISoC he opened agrocery '.-..re at Grass Valley, and after-wards conducted at the same town a privatebank, wLich failed in 1875.
In i.SOC- he was elected State Treasurer onthe Democratic ticket, and served one term.His satisfactory administration earned forhim the cognomen, " Honest Tom.''
In 180 he was again a candidate for thesame position on what was by its enemiescalled the " Secession ticket." He ran some4,000 votes ahead of the ticket, but wasnevertheless defeated.
In 186E end -main in 1871 he was a candi-date for the Democratic nomination forGovernor. Both times he was defeated, hissuccessful competitor on one occasion be-ing Governor Haight, who was afterwardselected.
He Wi:r the original contractor for thebuildin," ot the Nevada County NarrowGun:: 1. \-oad.
' >. - the failure of the bank at CrassValley he removed with his family to SanFra:: ..
The foregoing sketch of his life is ob-tained from some of his old-time friendshere, who quote the dates from memory.He is very highly spoken of by them, andsorrow a: his death is expressed hereamong b:s pioneer acquaintances, who heldhim in high esteem.
Death of Two Pioneer-.
Uecrgi MiKee, who bas resided in thissection iui ever thirty-Qve years, died atthe residence of bis daughter-in-law Mrs.May McKt''.', yesterday morning. De-ceased r*ar the father of Auditor McKee,and -..: the time of his death was 88 yearsof age. He was born in county Armaghiv 18Q5, and emigrated to America in 1818.He :iassei bis youth in Canada, and in theeariy fifiVj removed to California, wherehe since resided, l-'or a lime he workedin the mines of Calaveras, and was a resi-dent of Mokelurune Hill. On leaving tbemines, many years ago, he came to Sacra-mento, cv.v since that time resided In thisand Yolo counties. The funeral will takeplace to-morrow from No. 513 J street.
Andrew M.Thomas, one of tbe oldestprinters on tbe coast, died Thursday even-ing at his residence 328 P street, after aprotracted illness. He was one of tbe tirstprinters who engaged in that business onthe eoasl; has been connected with thetypographical department of several of thebest jv.irnals in the State, and for manyyears was employed at the Stale Printingotlice. He was born in New York, servedhis apprenticeship in ihe Governmentoffice at Washington, and came to Sacra-men'o in 18S0. He was 70 years of age atthe lime oi his death, and leaves a wife tomourn bis loss. He was a member ofCapitol Lodge, I. 0. O. F. His funeralwill take piacc from his late residence at 3p. m. to-day.
The Columbus Kxhiblt.Tbe Sacramento fruit which was sent to
be distributed at the Exposition in Colum-bus. Ohio, created a sensation, and nodoubt made many a Buckeye wish he livedin th,:> glorious valley. E. K. Alsip, whohad charge of the exhibit, wrote to a friendin this city as follows : " The carload offruit arrived here in good shape, thoughsome oi it was spoiled. It was a sightworth going miles to witness, to see thepeople fight and scramble for the fruitwhen itwas given away. We have beengiving it away three days, and still havesotiu' left. I gave a fruit and wine banquetto the press. Aldermen of the city, etc., to-nigh'. The exhibit bas been the srrandestsuccess and best advertisement Californiaever bud. I could have sold all the fruitfor i3 and $10 per box. The pampas plumescaptured them all. They offered $1 a piecefor thena, and 50 cents a piece for the palmleaves, bnt we told them there was nothingto sc;!. that i' was all to be given away. Igo to Philadelphia from here."
Failed to Connect.Dr. Louis H. Schneider, the German
orator fiom Washington, D. C, who wasbilled to speak at Turner Hall last eveningin behalf ofCleveland and Thurman, failedto (.'innect. Those two well-known Teu-tonic citizens, M. J. Burke, Vorsitzer, and J.J. O'Connor. iSekretaer, were at the de-pot at C a. m. yesterday with theirpockets fullof pretzels to meet the distin-guished orator, but be failed to materialize.Later a telegram was received announcingthat Dr. Schneider bad been taken sud-denly ill, and stopped over at Salt LakeCity for medical treatment. The meetingwas therefore postponed, but it is under-stood that the eloquent German willspeakhere some time in October.

POLICE COURT.tHenry Kusk's Brutal Abandonment of
His Wife and Children.Judge Buckley's calender was a short one
yesterday. J. W. O'Meara and C. B. Pressyhaving pleaded guilty to disturbing thepeace, were fined $10 each. Patrick Frierywas fined $5 for being drunk. Dan Dailey,Fred Martin, Henry Rusk and P. O'Connorwere arraigued on a charge of larceny inhaving stolen some shovels, lanterns, amallet and a hatchet from a box beloneingto the Electric Railway Company. Ruskand Dailey plead guilty- and O'Connor andMartin stood trial. The evidence was soconflicting that they were discharged. Ituskand Dailey were each ordered to pay a fineof $40 or go to the County* Jail for fortydays. Subsequently Rusk informed theCourt that one of his children had diedsince his arrest and another was at thepoint of death. The Judge was handed aletter from Mrs. Kusk, dated at Ileno, inwhich she related the sad condition of herchild and reproaches her husband for leav-ing her penniless in the midst of so muchmisery. The Court reconsidered the sen-tence "of Kusk and took the case under ad-visement until this morning.
A BOLD THIEF.He Steals a Vaiuahle Horse and Disposes
of it Promptly.Early yesterday morning 0. A. Koehler
stole a valuable horse from the stable of C.McCreary, at Tenth and L streets, and soldit to the foreman of a down-town liverystable for $10 and a watch. He also had inhis possession a boy's saddle, which he soldto a prize-fighter named Morrisey, at tbeTiv.ilisaloon, for .sl* Tbe latter sold thesaddle egjin to an lialiau for $3 50 aud a"treat."
When the loss of Mr. McCreary's horsewas reported to the police in the morning,special ollicer Good remembered that hehad seen a man with a saddle on his armabout two o'clock in tbe morning, and atonce set out to find him, which he soon didin a barber shop on Xstreet, between Thirdand Fourth. Koehler at first refused togive his nsmc or tell anything {"abouthimself, farther t'aan he came from Austra-lia in a balloon, but his named was dis-closed by papers found on nis person. Itwas subsequently ascertained that the sad-dle belonged to judge Van Fleet's son, audwas taken from the barn of bis grandfather,R. S. Carey, at Tenth and H streets.

ADMISSION OF CALIFORNIA.It Took Thirty-nine Days for the News to
Reach the Coast.A correspondent wrote a few days since
to the Becobd-Union asking the date whenthe news was received in San Francisco ofthe admission of .California as a State intothe Federal Union. The Alta Califoniia ofOctober 18. 1850 issued an extra about noanof that day, in which it said: "This morn-ing the steamer Oregon, Lieutenant Fatter-son commanding, announced her appear-ance in port by heavy cannoning. Shewas decorated with flags from stern tostem, and the moment she appeared in thebay it was known that California had beenaamitted a State into the Union. The citywas wild with excitement."
The following is an extract publishedfrom the Kew York Tribune, of September9, 1850:
"We are at last enabled to send the news,so long awaiting our fellow-citizens on tbePacific coast, California is admitted intothe American Confederacy, and to-dsvtakes rank as the thirty-lirst State of theUnion. The bill for her admission wasbrought up iv Ihe House Saturday,and after a short discussion passed,as it came from the Senate. Thefifty-seven votes against the billwere all from the ultra-Southein men.hers.The Representatives of California willprobably take their seats to-day. The newshas been received almost everywhere withmost unbounded satisfaction. At Wash-ington 100 minute guns were lired on Sat-urday evening, followed by a display offireworks. In this city many of the hotelsand public offices hoisted the national Hagin token ofrejoicing."
John 0. Fremont and William M. (J winwere sworn in the same day as Senatorsfrom California. I
The Crown Anemone.The crown or garden anemone, which is
much cultivated in climates where thewinters are less severe, is comparativelylittleknown in the gardens of the North-ern and Western States. The difficultyofraising these plants at the North is thesensitiveness of their tubers to frost. Ifthey are plauted in the fall aud are so pro-tected by means of leaves, evergreenboughs or litter that the ground does notfreeze, they willcome through all right inthe spring and bloom abundantly quiteearly, or soou after the frost leaves. Theplant is a native of the eastern shores ofthe Mediterranean, where the winters arenot severe.
It can be very successfully raised as awinter house plant if it is borne in mindthat it is a hardy plant in a climate which,though not severe, nevertheless has a win-ter of some frosts. The most to !>e fearedfor it iv the hands of most persons is thatit willbe kept too warm. It should betreated much the same as hyacinths andtulips in pots, only, perhaps, giving it alonger rest. Plant a tuber in good soil ina five-inch pot, iv autumn, water gently,and -tand it away in the cellar. Give at-tention occasionally, and do not let thesoil become quite dry. Leave itwhere thefrost cannot get at it, and during the win-ter it will be making roots. About thefirst of February it can be brought intothe window and given a cool place. Itwill_ soon begin to make stout growth, audin time willcome to perfection. Do notattempt to hurry by giving it a warmplace. As the season advances it shouldget and can stand a higher temperature,but it blooms early and passes away earlyin the spring. Those who have neverraised it as a window plant will derivemuch pleasure from a trialof it, plantinga number of the tubers in order to haveseveral of the many pleasing varieties.—

TheMicrobe of Dysentery.Chantemesse and Widal report the dis-
covery of a specific bacterium in dysentery(Pi-oiji'i's Medical, April 21,1888)." Work-ing in C'ornil's laboratory, they havestudied five cases of tropical dysentery,and have found the same microbe in thelesions and stools of a fatal case and in thestools of four others. Tlie bacteria werefound in colonies in and between the tubu-lar glands of tbe intestine, in the lymphglands and spleen. The organisms developrapidly at the ordinary temperature, thriv-ing on all tbe usual culture media. Theyare bacilli, with rounded ends, and some-what thicker in the middle than towardtbe extremities. They grow luxuriantlyin sterilized water from the Seine. Fed toguinea pigs, pure cultures produce intes-tinal inllammation and necrosis, the stom-ach itself being affected. The lesions aremore marked when the gastric contents arerendered alkaline. Intraperitoneal injec-tions cause death in two or three days withperitonitis, pleuritis and pericarditis. Theliver is aflected in these animals, necroseswith colonies of bacilli being found in theportal areas. All the lesions inthe experi-mental cases furnished pure cultures ofthe bacillus. From these facts, and tbeabsence of Ihe bacillus in the faces ofhealthy men, Chantemesse and Widal feeljustified in claiming specific properties forthis bacillus. In commenting on this•paper, the Medical News says that, althoughthe observations made are too few in num-ber to bring absolute proof, they are ofinterest as being the first in which somuch has been accomplished. Numerousother investigators have described micro-organisms in dysentery ; bnt none, up tothis time, have succeeded in cultivatingthem. Further developments will beawaited with interest.
Kisses.In the old days, when powder and
rouge were indispensable, a gallant gentle-man kissed tlie hand of his fair lady, andher hand was kept immaculate, that thiskiss might mean much to him. Nowadaysmen don't stoop to kiss your hand; itwould get their pants out of shape. So aclean face becomes a necessity to a womanwho has any liking for that expression ofaffection which is generally approved oftad seldom well done. Tlie only kissworth having, says a writer on the sub-ject, is tbat of a nice baby, and ifthe babydoesn't give it, it only submits to it, andkeeps its sweet, dainty, perfumy littlemouth shaped like an O, as it waits foryou to discover just bow delightful it is.
Men's kisses are like Scotch whisky—tliey are apt to lie smoky. Children'sDM :ire inclined to cover one's entireface, but a baby simply exists and lets youtake a mouthful of the breath of Araby..Men have an idea that their kisses are ap-preciated—they are most immensely mis-taken. The average man gives a kiss justas lie throws a baseball—with too muchforce, liought to be as delicate as a ro-c---leaf. Almost a memory in a second. Itneed not suggest a postage stamp nor aporous plaster. One lady says: "1 couldwrite a book on kissing, but mankind is sodetermined that I don't think he'd takeany advice on the subject, and yet, as it isthe women who receive the kisses, theycertainly ought to know more about themthan the great, big, stupid creations whogive them."— Troy Times.

DEATH'S HARVEST.Jud»e Leon D. Freer Succnmbs to the
Fell Destroyer.Judge Leon D. Freer, who has been lying
seriously ill in San Francisco since lastMay, died in that city Wednesday morningat 11 o'clock. The information, althoughnot entirely unexpected, was nevertheless ashock to the entire community, as tbe pub-lic had been led to believe that althoughhis illness was undoubtedly serious, yetthere were reasonable prospects of his ulti-mate recovery. The Sovereign Grand Lodgeof Odd Feliows, of which Judge Freer wasa consistent and exemplary member, isnow in session at Los Angeles, aud it isprobable that that body, in conjunctionwith the Grand Lodge of California, willtake charge of tberemainsami conduct theobsequies in an appropriate and imposingmanner.
ITudgeFreer received his education at a
lege in Benicia, where he made his marka youth of far more than averagelity. After a few years spent in otherrsuits, he turned his attention to ther, and was not long in being admitted asattorney, and soon after went to reside:h his parents in Oroville, where he be-ne a leading spitit in legal circles. Hist entrance into tbe political arena re-ted in his election to the Assembly fromtte county. When his term expfred he3 elected District Attorney for the sameinty, and four years ago" he was, by ay large popular vote, elected SuperiorIgeof the same county. He had yet> years of his term to serve in that office.was one of Ihe leading members of the
organization of Odd Fellows ou this coast,and repeatedly he was summoned by the
R's of the majority of the Grand Lodgehe State to represent it in the nationaly. Three months ago he was elected
to tbe Sovereign Grand Lodge, now in ses-sion in Los Angeles.
Judge Freer's name has of late years beenfrequently mentioned in connection withCongressional and Gubernatorial honorsand there is little doubt that, had his lifebeen spared, he would have been called bythe people to even higher places oi trustand honor than he had yet tilled. He wasvery popular among men of all shades ofpolitical opinion, aud always led his partywhen a candidate.
Judge Freer was one of the most modestand unassuming of men. He was, withal,a man of commanding presence and dig-nity, and would commandatteution amongan army ofcitizens anywhere. Among thefriends of bis youth he was still the genial,pleasant "Leon," when off the bench. Hewas a great admirer of field sporu, was an
Ishot and angler, and was lastd President of the State Sports-sociaiion. He was a man for
* years the greatest honors ofcitizenship stood in wailing.

A Warning.The modes of death's approach are va-
rious, and statistics show conclusively- thatmore persons die from diseases of thethroat and lungs thau any other. It isprobable tba, everyone, without exception,receives vast numbers of tubercle germsinto the system, end where these aonusfall upon suitable soil they start Into lifeand develop, at first slowly, ami is shownby a slight tickling sensntion in the throat,and if a'lowed to continue their ravaeesthey extend to the lungs, producing con-sumption, and to the head, causingcatarrh. Now ail this is dangerous, and ifallowed to proceed willin time cause death.At the onset you must act with prompt-ness; allowing a cold to go without atten-tion is l»ngerous, and may lose yon yourlife. Ao soon as yon feel that something iswrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,obtain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup,it will 6,-ive you immediate relief.
