REGARDING THE TRAINS. Another Change in the Time-Table Expected Shortly. The premonitory mutterings of a change in tlie railroad time-table are heard from the Fourth and Townsend street office by the officials in this city, and as near as can be leanu dat present the change is to go into effect on May Ist. It is understood that a second-class local train is to be run between this city and San Francisco, leaving here some- where near G o'clock in the morning and arriving about 8 o'clock at night. At present the Portland express carries second-class passengers from tliis city to San Francisco, taking on the second- class cars after it arrives iv the depot here. Ilarrives here at 5:55 A. X. Itis understood, however, that train will be scheduled to reach Sacramento about two hours earlier, and no second-class cars will be attached. Other changes will probably develop later. ANOTHER "REFORM" SUIT. This Time the Policemen's Salaries are Attacked. Tlie Special Tax "Declared to be Not Collectable—A Technicality ln tbo Extra Clerk Suit. It became noised about the Court-house yesterday that a new suit is about to be commenced l.y the same reformers who recently brought suit to cut off the extra clerk list maintained by several of the county officers. POtilCBXXS'fl SALAKP>. This time, it is said, the reform cudgel is to be aimed at the special tax voted for recently by a majority ofthe citizens of Sacramento, to pay the salaries of the extra policemen who served two years ago. and vho wero never paid, because they were illegally appointed. As in the Clerk .suit, K. A. Burr will pose as plaintii: on behalf of the re- formers, and it is understood that Chaun- eey H. Dunn will file the papers. The suit, it is said, will be in the nature of a WBIT OE REVIEW, And wiil undertake to put in issue the authority of the Trustees to order an election as they did. In fact, the writ of review will bring up the whole question of jurisdiction, and will cover the pro- gs from the issuing of the election proclamation by the city, un to the can- vaasof the votes and the final order for tb-- special tax. The papers In the suit will probably be filed to-day or to-mor- row—and yet they may be held off for a couple Of weeks, after the announcement, as was done in the case of the clerk suit. Tin: OTHEB SUIT. Clinton L. White, who represents Burr and the reformers in the suit to oust the extra clerks employed by the order ofth \u25a0 board of Supervisors, by the Aud- itor, Sheriff, Assessor and County <"_erk, bled affidavits with County Clerk Rhoads, yesterday, showing that sum- mons have been duly served in the cases; that the time allowed by the defendants lich to plead had expired; that the time for such pleading has not been ex- tended, and demanding that default be entered in the cases nam< d. The defendant, however, deny this and stat" that their attorneys did secure an < \o : uon of time. The matter will come up for hearing shortly in court. FACETIOUS SERGEANT BARWICK.

Tho suit of Mrs. Palmer against Sheriff Weaver is a branch oi' tlio many legal complications existing between H. J. Palmer and ex-Senator James <'. Fair. Says the Woodland Mail: At the time of bringing the original suit by Senator Pair an attachment was issued and placed in tin- bands of Sheriff Weaver who took possession of all the property found in tho possession of Mr. Palmer. .Mrs. Palmer then brought tho present ac- tion against the Sheriff ior the conversion oi* certain property taken hy him and claimed by her to he lior separate prop- erly.

A Witness in the Hughes Case Says He Was Approached. . . The "Cracker Man" Said Hughes Was a Scoundrel—Mr. Black "Will Bo Heard From. "Yes, sir, I have been approached re- garding the testimony I was to giv*e in this case." Tho trial of John P. Hughes, charged with perjury, was on hearing in the Su- perior Court yesterday, and C. C. Duliane had just finished testifying for the prose- cation. Clinton B. White, attorney foe the defense, began the cross-examination ofthe witness by asking him ifany effort had been made previous to the trial to in- fluence his testimony, and the witness re- plied as above quoted. Of course the statement created a sen- sation. Everybody leaned forward and listened to what tbe witness said. THK CRACKER MAN. "Ithappened some time ago," contin- ued Duliane. "I was workine upstairs in the Janitor's office at the State ( apilol, when a. police officer, Jack Wilson, I think they call him, came up to me and told me that a certain gentleman wanted to see mc on important business." ''What gentleman?" asked attorney White. "His name is Blade He runs a cracker bakery on Front street," replied Duliane. "Well. E told the policeman that l didn't have time to go with him, but he Insisted that it was an important matter, so I fi- nally went (town tothe cracker bakery. I met Mr. Black there and introduced myself. He said, 'Oh, yes, you are the man who is going to testify in the Hughes case.' I said, '\es, I suppose so.' Black then said;' Well, you don't want to give any rose-colored testimony for Hughes— he is a d scoundrel.' " "What reply did you make?" asked Mr. White. "Why, Ijust looked at him with con- tempt" replied Duhane wilh a curl ofthe lip. *Itold him that I was an American —born in America—and that I would swear to nothing but the truth and the whole truth. 1 then bid liini good day and left." The Mr. Black referred to by the wit- ness is the father of Supervisor Black, and was present in the court room while Duhane was making this statement. When Duhane concluded ho was ex- cused from the stand. Latenon Mr. Black took tlie witness- stand and save his version ofthe affair, offi.-er Wilson, he said, felt friendly toward Duhane, and believing that the latter was going to color his testimony in Hughes'favor, took him down to Mr Black's for a talk. Mr. Black said ho Simply told Duhane "not to color his tes- timony or he might get into trouble." He told him to go Into court and tell the trutli and nothing but the truth—without any stretching or coloring—and Duhane said he would. THE CHARGE .AGAINST HUGHES. The trial of Hughes was not concluded yesterday but probably will be to-day. He is charged with the crime of perjury, committed last year in Justice oi' the Peace Henry's court. According tothe theory of the prosecution, judgment was rendered against Hughes in the Justice Court and in favor of Thomas Mclnerny, for $50 and §25 costs, but he did not pay the judgment on the plea that he pos- ted nothing. He was summoned before Justice Henry and questioned regarding Ids possessions, and particularly with reference to the allegation that hi* was in partnership with one John H. Coffey in the building Of a house for C. C. Duhane. f i ughes under oath denied this, and de- clared that lie bad no interest in the money due for erectintr the building. Coffey took the stand then and testified that Hughes was his partner, but by his | (Coffey's) consent and also that of Dv- I bane, Hughes' name was erased from the building contract. According to Coffey's statement this was done in order te save Hughes from his creditors. j Judge W. IB Oram of Yolo is hearing the case in place of Judge Catlin, who is jin Woodland. A jury is also listening to the testimony. THE SWIMMING BATHS. "Work "Will be Commenced in a Very Short Time. While little has boen said lately about the swimming baths the directors of the association have been hard at work get- ting its afi'airs in shape, and there is every prospect that the site will be decided upon and work commenced on the build- ing within a very short time. Many obstacles have boon met with and over- come, and the directors at last see their way clear to the erection of swimming baths which will be a credit to the eh v. A large majority of the stockholders have signed the constitution and by-laws. Th.- certificates of stock have heen printed and are being delivered to sub- scribers. Among the first to receive and receipt for his certificate was Collis P. Huntington, who, although not a resi- dent of Sacramento, subscribed for |5,000 worth of stock. There are many Sacra- mentans who are well able to tako stock, and assist in this worth v enterprise, who have not yet done so. It is to be hoped that they will still join in the beneficent work. BRIEF NOTES. Information was received there yester- day that the large reservoir of the Union Stock and Land Company in Lassen County has heen completed and is full of water.

How George Holden Was Converted a Week Before Death. The Sacramento "Women's Christian Temperance Union's Influence— Where Is His Mother? A young man who left with the circus that was here last week was accidentally killed a few days ago in the elephant car near Sheridan. At the time no one seemed to know who he was. On his person was found a Women's Christian Temperance Union card, issued by the Sacramento society, and a Testament given him by the same association. From these his name was ascertained to be George Holden, and that he came from Sacramento. The Women's Christian Temperance I'nion of Sheridan thereupon took charge of the body and buried him at Sheridan on the 12th, and reported to Mrs. Jenks, President of the Women's Christian Temperance Cnion in Sacramento, and asked information a. to the relatives of the young man. HE WAS CONVERTED. Yesterday his name was found on the books of the association here, and Mrs. Barrett said to a reporter: "I remember him distinctly. I talked with him. Ho told me his name was George Holden: that he was not a Christian, and had not been inside ofa church in ten years, and that I was the only person in the country who had ever inquired if he was a Chris- tian, and he was grateful for the interest I had shown; that he thought more earnestly about religion than ever before, and that he would DECJDK THE QUESTION That night. He seemed to be an Intelli- gent young man. Two or three evenings afterwards he came into our rooms and signed the pledge, and was happily con- verted. He told me that his parents and grandparents resided in Boston: that he had not written to his mother in ten years, but would do so at once. He obtained work with the circus company as a worker, and left Sacramento. In ]'ess than a week he was killed at Sheridan, as you know." The Women's Christian Temperance I'nion ladies wisli to send the pledge and Testament found on him to his mother, and ask that the press will kindly assist to find that mother by publishing the Hams and facts.

REGARDING THE TRAINS.

Another Change in the Time-TableExpected Shortly.

The premonitory mutterings of achange in tlie railroad time-table areheard from the Fourth and Townsendstreet office by the officials in this city,and as near as can be leanu dat presentthe change is to go into effect on May Ist.It is understood that a second-class

local train is to be run between this cityand San Francisco, leaving here some-where near G o'clock in the morning andarriving about 8 o'clock at night.

Atpresent the Portland express carriessecond-class passengers from tliis city toSan Francisco, taking on the second-class cars after it arrives iv the depothere. Ilarrives here at 5:55 A. X. Itisunderstood, however, that train will bescheduled to reach Sacramento about twohours earlier, and no second-class carswill be attached.

Other changes will probably developlater.

ANOTHER "REFORM" SUIT.

This Time the Policemen's Salariesare Attacked.

Tlie Special Tax "Declared to be Not

Collectable—A Technicality ln

tbo Extra Clerk Suit.

It became noised about the Court-houseyesterday that a new suit is about to becommenced l.y the same reformers whorecently brought suit to cut off the extraclerk list maintained by several of thecounty officers.

POtilCBXXS'fl SALAKP>.This time, it is said, the reform cudgel

is to be aimed at the special tax voted forrecently by a majority ofthe citizens ofSacramento, to pay the salaries of theextra policemen who served two yearsago. and vho wero never paid, becausethey were illegally appointed.

As in the Clerk .suit, K. A. Burr willpose as plaintii: on behalf of the re-formers, and it is understood that Chaun-eey H. Dunn will file the papers. Thesuit, it is said, willbe in the nature of a

WBIT OE REVIEW,And wiil undertake to put in issue theauthority of the Trustees to order anelection as they did. In fact, the writ ofreview will bring up the whole questionof jurisdiction, and will cover the pro-

gs from the issuing of the electionproclamation by the city, un to the can-vaasof the votes and the finalorder fortb-- special tax. The papers In the suitwillprobably be filed to-day or to-mor-row—and yet they may be held off foracouple Ofweeks, after the announcement,as was done in the case of the clerk suit.

Tin: OTHEB SUIT.Clinton L. White, who represents Burr

and the reformers in the suit to oustthe extra clerks employed by the orderofth \u25a0 board of Supervisors, by the Aud-itor, Sheriff, Assessor and County <"_erk,bled affidavits with County ClerkRhoads, yesterday, showing that sum-mons have been duly served in the cases;that the time allowed by the defendants

lich to plead had expired; that thetime for such pleading has not been ex-tended, and demanding that default beentered in the cases nam< d.

The defendant, however, deny this andstat" that their attorneys did secure an

< \o : uon of time. The matter willcomeup for hearing shortly in court.

"NO ROSE-COLORED TESTIMONY."

A Witness in the Hughes Case SaysHe Was Approached. . .

The "Cracker Man" Said Hughes Was

a Scoundrel—Mr. Black "Will

Bo Heard From.

"Yes, sir, I have been approached re-garding the testimony Iwas to giv*e inthis case."

Tho trial of John P. Hughes, chargedwith perjury, was on hearing in the Su-perior Court yesterday, and C. C. Dulianehad just finished testifying for the prose-cation. Clinton B. White, attorney foethe defense, began the cross-examinationofthe witness by asking him ifany efforthad been made previous to the trial to in-fluence his testimony, and the witness re-plied as above quoted.

Ofcourse the statement created a sen-sation.

Everybody leaned forward and listenedto what tbe witness said.

THK CRACKER MAN."Ithappened some time ago," contin-

ued Duliane. "I was workine upstairsin the Janitor's office at the State ( apilol,when a. police officer, Jack Wilson, Ithink they call him, came up to me andtold me that a certain gentleman wantedto see mc on important business."

''What gentleman?" asked attorneyWhite.

"His name is Blade He runs a crackerbakery on Front street," replied Duliane."Well. E told the policeman that l didn'thave time to go with him, but he Insistedthat it was an important matter, so I fi-nally went (town tothe cracker bakery.I met Mr. Black there and introducedmyself. He said, 'Oh, yes, you are theman who is going to testify in the Hughescase.' I said, '\es, Isuppose so.' Blackthen said;' Well, you don't want to giveany rose-colored testimony for Hughes—he is a d scoundrel.' ""What reply did you make?" askedMr. White.

"Why, Ijust looked at him with con-tempt" replied Duhane wilh a curl ofthelip. *Itold him that I was an American—born in America—and that I wouldswear to nothing but the truth and thewhole truth. 1 then bid liini good dayand left."

The Mr. Black referred to by the wit-ness is the father of Supervisor Black,and was present in the court room whileDuhane was making this statement.

When Duhane concluded ho was ex-cused from the stand.

Latenon Mr. Black took tlie witness-stand and save his version ofthe affair,offi.-er Wilson, he said, felt friendlytoward Duhane, and believing that thelatter was going to color his testimony inHughes'favor, took him down to MrBlack's for a talk. Mr. Black said hoSimply told Duhane "not to color his tes-timony or he might get into trouble."He told him to go Into court and tell thetrutli and nothing but the truth—withoutany stretching or coloring—and Duhanesaid he would.

THE CHARGE .AGAINST HUGHES.The trial of Hughes was not concluded

yesterday but probably will be to-day.He is charged with the crime of perjury,committed last year in Justice oi' thePeace Henry's court. According tothetheory of the prosecution, judgment wasrendered against Hughes in the JusticeCourt and in favor ofThomas Mclnerny,for $50 and §25 costs, but he did not paythe judgment on the plea that he pos-

ted nothing. He was summoned beforeJustice Henry and questioned regardingIds possessions, and particularly withreference to the allegation that hi* was inpartnership with one John H. Coffey inthe building Of a house for C. C. Duhane.f iughes under oath denied this, and de-clared that lie bad no interest in themoney due for erectintr the building.Coffey took the stand then and testifiedthat Hughes was his partner, but by his| (Coffey's) consent and also that of Dv-

I bane, Hughes' name was erased from thebuilding contract. According to Coffey'sstatement this was done in order te saveHughes from his creditors.

j Judge W. IB Oram of Yolo is hearingthe case in place of Judge Catlin, who isjin Woodland. A jury is also listening tothe testimony.

THE SWIMMING BATHS."Work "Will be Commenced in a Very

Short Time.While little has boen said lately about

the swimming baths the directors of theassociation have been hard at work get-ting its afi'airs in shape, and there is everyprospect that the site will be decidedupon and work commenced on the build-ing within a very short time. Manyobstacles have boon met with and over-come, and the directors at last see theirway clear to the erection of swimmingbaths which will be a credit to the eh v.

A large majority of the stockholdershave signed the constitution and by-laws.Th.- certificates of stock have heenprinted and are being delivered to sub-scribers. Among the first to receive andreceipt for his certificate was Collis P.Huntington, who, although not a resi-dent of Sacramento, subscribed for |5,000worth of stock. There are many Sacra-mentans who are well able to tako stock,and assist in this worth v enterprise, whohave not yet done so. It is to be hopedthat they will still join in the beneficentwork.

BECAME A CHRISTIAN.

How George Holden Was Converteda Week Before Death.

The Sacramento "Women's ChristianTemperance Union's Influence—

Where Is His Mother?

A young man who left with the circusthat was here last week was accidentallykilled a few days ago in the elephant carnear Sheridan.

At the time no one seemed to knowwho he was. On his person was found aWomen's Christian Temperance Unioncard, issued by the Sacramento society,and a Testament given him by the sameassociation. From these his name wasascertained to be George Holden, andthat he came from Sacramento. TheWomen's Christian Temperance I'nionof Sheridan thereupon took chargeof the body and buried him at Sheridanon the 12th, and reported to Mrs. Jenks,President of the Women's ChristianTemperance Cnion in Sacramento, andasked information a. to the relatives ofthe young man.
