He com- menced on the ‘‘paid branch’’ in Decem-~ ber, 1876, as a member of No. 1. Then he was transferred $a No. 3, and after- wards made captain of No. 2. When No. 4 was organized he was made captain of No. 4, all of which positions he filled with credit to himself and worth to the city. Joe wasa prominent member of the Thurston hose company and was mainly instrumental in gaining their first championship in - Lincoln in 188 He and Jack Roach were the coup lers. Just at the trying moment Joe fell and broke his hand, but never- theless he jumped up and “‘broke the coupling’’ in marvellously quick time, and the Thurstons became champions of the world. . Sam Crowley, driver of No. 3's big truck, has been appointed captain of No. 4, to succeed Vanderford, and Edward Dwyer appointed to succeed Crowley in No. 8 company. —— CUatholic Notes.

Mr, Simeral opened the case in u short argu- ment and was followed by Mr. Webster, who spoke over two hours. Mr. Simeral made bis closing argument in the afternoon. It is probable that the hear- ing of the case will be continued during part of to-day. AN AFFECTING SCENE, Yesterday morning two little boys were brought before Judge Wakely on an order to their parents to show cause why the boys should not be sent to the reform school. ~ The lads names are John Freeman, white, and Thomas Sheeley, colored, and they had been guilty of some little misdemeanor. The scene in court was very affecting, espec - inlly when the aged ‘mother of the col- ored youth pleaded for her boy. She is a hardworking washerwoman, has a family of seven children to support, and tearfully promised« the judge she would "keep her boy away from bad company if he would only be left with her. She did not want the stigma of being a ‘‘reform school” inmate upon him. On the other hand, the father of the white boy, who is a well-to-do carpenter, took the case of his boy most indifferently, acting as if he would'like to have the state relieve him of the lad’s support. The contrast was marked and the color line where ental affection comes in was audibly com- mented on by all present. ~Judge Wakeley will decide the matter to-day Suits in replevin were filed yesterday by the Independent Refining and National Refining Oil companies against L. A Stewart for #8,000, and against oil in transit and ‘warehouses, and other simi- lar suits will be filed before evening. Rednctions Feared. Tt is now pretty well scttled that there will be reductions both on the number of employes and the amount or wages ou the Union Pacific very soon. It is said by those likely to know that men will be laid off in all the mechanical depart- ments and the additional work thrown upon the old men, 1n all probability the latter will “kick,” to use a phrase of the day, when they will politely Be invited to step down and out and their places filled by new men at lower wages. In fact, it is said that the cleaning of the cars by the Union Pacific and Pullman com- pany given to contractor Fleming is only 2 nfihfwnv of getting the men to work for less money. In fact, they have been notified that” at the Transfer clean- ing grounds that they will only get $45 per month, whereas they have been receiving 356 per month heretofore. The consequence is that the railroad men are a little uneasy. RAILROAD NOTES. The car cleaning business at the Trans- fer on the Towa side commenced yes- terday morning. The car repairing and |nxheclin‘g force at the depot was reduced by the dis- charge of three men yesterday morning. The first section of the overland train wrich arrives here every morning at 7:40 18 generally composed of several cars of ‘California fruit and a car load of Chinese bound for the east.

Telals and Vicissitudes of a Fomale Miser's Daughter, Globe Domocrat: The neighborhood of White Rock ngs, El Dorado California, is excited over the y of a fortune hidden in & chim- n v old woman of that The discovery forms the last chapterin a curious tale of the vicissi- tudes of fortnne on this coast. Mra. Dart early i the fifties lived in E, Dorado county, and had a pretty m\ufh- ter named Lou, n girl of sixteen. ‘The mother was well off, and when her daughter fell inlove with a saloon-keeper, Austin ~ Keely, she violently ob- jeeted to the atch, The ~ lovers were married, however, and moved to 1 Francisco, where Kcely made a lueky strike in mining stocks, elearing up over £100,000, He was not satistied, and wanted to be a millionaire, and in the cf- fort lost every cent. Then he fell to dainking, liguor made him demented, and he was tinally sent to the insane asylum. His wife went to live with her mother in El Dorado home. After a few months Keeley was dise charged cured, and he went to live with s mother-in-law, She detested him, and made it 80 unplensant that his in- El m,r returned, and one day in a fit of rage he chokee her to death. There was a great popular excitement over the erime, but when the trial came Keely was acquitted on the grounds of insanity. The excitement ot the trial, however, re- duced Keely almost to imbeeility, and it was found he could not even manage tho farm which old Mrs, Keely left to her daughter. Though search had been made of the premises for hidden treasure, as it was known the old woman hwd saved wuch money, nothing was found. Mrs. Keely then moved to Sacramentdy and rented the farm, but the tenants so neglected the place that a few weeks ago she determined to move out to it. She borrowed some monev to air the building and make it inhabitable. To do this it was found ne r down the chimney attached 1l hopes of finding the fortune whic erybody was sure had been left by the old lady nad been abandoned, when the fail of the chimney revealed a strong box containing $28,000 in gotd com. Thus for the sccond time in lfe Mrs. Keely found herself in comparative luxury. The surprise was the more agreeable since with the welcome acquisition will come relief from the poverty which for years had been her lot. Poor Austin hurdly retuins sense enough to appre- ciate this good fortune., Everybody about White Roek Springs rejoices in the good luck of plucky Mrs. Kecly. It is related as a prelude to thisstrange story that old Mrs. Dart, to whose money«- otting skill and miserly proclivities the Keeleys owo their release from poverty, had a romantic carcer herself. She mar- ried a fine looking man of appareny means in New Ovleans, but her marital happiness was of short duration, for she soon discovered that her husband was a professional gambler, and she abandoned him. She came to California, and placcd ou in A New Orleans convent, located at White Rock Springs ved and died there. Hor husbond, likewise, followed fortune with the setting sun, but, although he lived in Sacremento for many vears, he never aunin to his wife, His name was Henry Dart.
