racing part of began toSACRAMENTO, September, 12. The day under auspices which are likely to carry the meeting to a success quite up to, if not above, anything in previous years. The crowd is the customary drat day attendance, fancy being largely the majority. The weather day shows the first sign of faint murmur coming up from the unusual 1 warmth, and there is just a crowd for a breeze. The track is fast and hard, a little too bard for the entire safety of the starters.
Betting on the event4 began heavy last night and continued so to-day. Few race neetings have been inangurated under such favorable circ*mstances and with such an initial performance as this. In the Occident stakes there was but one final payment made, and that was upon the famous filly from Palo Alto, Sunol. She made as a two-year-old record of 2:18 at the Bay District track. She was hailed as the trotting wonder, and, barring accidents, career AS queen of the turf was predicted for her.
This year she has twice started, first at Petaluma, where she was defeated by Lillian Wilkes, and then last week at Oakland, where she won over the same Ally in straight heats in 2:17, 2:17, 2:22. When it was announced that she was to walk over in the Occident, it was determined to drive her for a threeyear-old record and to beat 2:18. She accomplished the feat, making the circuit in without a break. The first quarter was made in 0:34, the half in 1:00, three-quarters in 1:43 and the mile in the time given above. A run'ner accompanied her from the half home: At the drawgate she was given a few sharp cuts with the whip and with the crowd yelling at him to go on, Charley Marvin landed the little filly under the wire in the second best time ever made by a three-year-old and the best time by seconds ever made (by a trotter of the same age in California.
Vi is also the fastest mile trotted upon the track since the days of St. Julian. When Marvin came back to the stand there was a round of cheering given him, to which he responded by a graceful swing of his uptifted gray cap. As -Sunol stood unrivalled in her twoyear-old form, save for the phenomenon Axtell, 'she stands at the head again as a three-year-old. With this performance as a starter the racing was fairly inaugurated, and the regular programme was begun with the 2:23 class trot for a purse of $1000, with W.

In the first beat Senator and Homestake dropped out by making each 8 bad break upon the first turn. At the quarter Victor was a length in front of Thapsin, and the two went down the homestretch in that position, Going around the second turn Thapsin closed up on the "hayseed," but the big bay had the best of it when they entered the straight. In the race home the two trotted pose to nose to the drawgate, and there Thapsin showed his head in front.
In his efforts to collar the leader Victor lost his feet, and Thapsin, trotting at his best speed, went out with Victor at his wheel in Senator finished a poor third, and Homestake, who ran almost the entire mile. was distanced. Thapsin was made favorite in the betting after the heat and sold for $10, Victor $28 and Senator $48. They got a beautiful start and went away fast. Victor was pocketed on the turn and at the quarter Thapsin was first, with Senator on his wheel and Victor two lengths back.
These positions were never greatly changed. Victor broke on the backstretch and was four lengths behind on the turn: made one slight skip in the straight, but caught quickly and lost nothing. Thapsin was first, with Senator at his Hank and Victor five lengths away. Time, The third heat also fell to Thapsin, On the first turn Victor and Senator went up.

-The strike of freight conductors and Brakemen east of here stops all freight east and west. It was caused by the company refusing to reinstate two freight who had been discharged. Passenger trains are running on time. The company seems determined to have its way, having ordered all the men in the shops to be laid off until the matter is settled. Five deputy sheritis were at Peach Springs last night to protect freight men willing to take out trains, but the engineers refused unless better protected.
Superintendent Beal discharged all the conductors and brakemen on their refusal to work. new order of the Brotherbood of Railroad Conductors is: making the light, as the men discharged are members of that ALBEQUERQUE (N. September It was thought yesterday that the strike of brakemen on the Winslow division of the Atlantic and Pacitic would be amicably settled, and the movement of freight trains which are sidetracked there be continued, but such is not the case. The strike has assumed alarming proportions, an order was promulgated here taking off all freight trains bound westward over the Atlantic and Pacitic until the strike is declared over. The non-arrival of freight trains is working a great injury to the business interests of Albuquerque, more especially to the small towns on the road.
Our wholesale merchants bave large orders to fill and the goods are ready for shipment, but trattic has censed. Then again, there is not a sack of sugar in the city of Albuquerque and a sugar famine will prevail if a settlement is not soon reached between the strikers and the company. to The company positively refuses reinstate the two freight conductors who were dis. charged and are the main cause of the strike, and they have withdrawn all freight trains from the roads, virtually discharging. the conductors, engineers and firemen 'and brakemen, and by that means freezing out those who have inaugurated the present trouble.
The large machine shops of the. pany here, employing nearly 200 mechanics, closed down to-day at noon on the same account until the strike is declared off. The strikers state that the company had no special reason for discharging the two conductors, and also took the third brakeman off every train, which they oppose. 'Compelled to. do So.
OCEANSIDE, September 12. -The preliminary. examination of Zerada Ureta for aiding and abetting Sylvestro Morales in the recent depredations committed in this county, was held before Justico D. B. Frazee this evening at 6 o'clock, and resulted in the dis: missal of the prisoner.
The statement of Ureta corroborated the story told the officers when he was interviewed at the sheep camp on Wednesday, after the murder of Henry Charles. In the sworn statement to-night, Ureta said Morales was at his camp on 'Monday evening after the murder of Henry Charles, and demanded provisions, at the same time saying: "I'm a bad man. The officers otter $400 for I have just done away with a man a while I have just come up from the San Juan road." Morales took all the provisions in the camp and left the same way he came, Ureta was.shown the beit containing the knife and pistol taken from Morales, and at once recognized them as the ones seen on Morales when the visit to the camp was made. He was shown a picture of Morales, and recognized it also as that of the nian who visited his camp. After a thorongh examination, it being plainly evident that Ureta did only what every other man would be likely to do, he was released and will return to Anaheim to-morrow morning.
Los ANGELES, September the Superior Court to-day Judge Cheney issued an order and directed to the Sheriff of San Diego county for the production of Morales at Santa Monica on the 17th of this month as 1 witness in the case of George Bunch, who will then have a preliminary hearing on a charge of horse stealing. It is alleged that Bunch and Morales were partners in the crime, and it is expected that the Santa Ana bandit may give important testimony against his former pal. HEAVY SALMON SHIPMENTS. URETA.

TACONA (W. September There has been a. prolonged howl for some time at the City Treasurer's office and around town from propertyholders at irregularities in the last city assessment. Business property comparatively unaffected, most of the errors and fault being in the assessment. of residence property.
Some buildings contiguous almost to each other vary 25 per cent in their value, without reason, it is said, and particalarly is this said to be true in the First ward and in acre property in the north end. Some acre property is left off the rolls altogether. It will not, however, escape taxation. It will be put on supplemental rolls. TRIPLE FUNERAL An Unusually Affecting Affair Modesto.
Modesto, September -Yesterday the CHRONICLE contained the news of the accidental drowning of the three little sons of 0. C. Baker, residing on the Tuolumne river, some six miles west of Modesto. Mr. Baker being an old resident, a prominent and respected citizen and a member of the Stanislaus County Society of Pioneers, at the funeral day flags Boated at ball- VETERANS' PLAINTS.
Charges Made Against Treichel. Evils at the Santa Monica Home. Strong Affidavits -of Bad Food, Treatment and Insults. Special Dispatch to the CHRONICLE. Los ANGELEs, September -Ever since Colonel Charles Treichel of New York took charge of the Pacific coast branch of the Home for Veterans at Santa Monica there have come floating up from the home stories of mismanagement, brutality, reckless squandering of public funds, ill feeding and worse treatment of inmates that were making that institution more like a place for penal servitude than a refuge for war-worn veterans of the nation.
The reports have grown darker and darker daily, but to-day, for. the first time, can be given the results of an investigation of the affairs at the home, which has revealed an even worse condition than rumor stated. There are 400 men in the home, and at least half that number are ready at any moment to break out in open mutiny They are brutally treated by guards about the place, who are civilians in many cases, and who order the veterans about like so many dogs. The correspondent, whose investigation covered several days, interviewed at least 100 men, and all. told substantially the same story.
The principal complaint made was concerning the food, although many victims were very bitter against Governor Treichel for his treatment. The food provided is declared to be simply atrocious. The neat is furnished by contract at 5 cents per pound for fresh and 3 cents per pound for corned beef. It is said to be the refuse of the Los Angeles and Santa Monica markets. Self-respecting men would not feed it to dogs.
The odds and ends of beef are packed together, tainted or fresh, indiscriminately and shipped to the home at they rate of 100 pounds per day. "It is different with the ham and bacon furnished. These are of Eastern pack and are excellent, but served in such small quantities that body and soul can scarce be kept togetuer upon them, and there are some of the sick old men who can eat nothing else, The code is a travesty even upon pure water, for the ingredients put in it, whatever they are, spoil the water. In serving this the waiters announce regularly: Here comes your hot water, boys." But the most serious complaint, in which all joined, was against the food, The contract for furnishing the beef to the home calls. for quarters in equal quantities, and yet scraps are only furnished-too tough for mastication by old men: As for vegetables, lew are used, although there is no reason why: an abundance and of the best quality should not be raised right on the grounds.
Another evil causing much complaint is the employment of civilians about the grounds when there are a number of old soldiers all ready and willing to do the work at a much lower compensation. There are some. fifteen civilians employed there at present, drawing saluries ranging from $30 to $100 a month. These saluries, if paid the soldiers, would afford them com: forts and luxuries of which they stand so much in need. By what right or for what reason these civilians are here is not clear and cannot be made clear.
They are certainly not indispensible, for the work could be done: and better done, by soldiers who are there to do it. The old flag never flies ever the home, although there is a tradition that some such piece of bunting had. been displayed on the Fourth of July. Since then the flagpole has blown down. Nobody is quite clear just what bad become of the flag, but it was not displayed, at rate.
Even on Decoration Day, the dearest of all holidays to the soldier's heart, it was not shown. There have been deaths at the home, too, but who has heard of them? Thie bodies are bundled into pauper's graves, and men who would bave been given soldier's burial in the rush of war times are denied these honors when in 1 peace there should be abundant time for them. So great have been the abuses that a number of men have been driven out of the home by the brutality of guards and the Governor's acquiescence in it. One of these was Frank West who is now upon the County Poor Farm at. Downey.
He. makes the following statement under oath: About March 16, 1889, I was transferred from the Soldiers' Home of Napa county to the Santa Soldiers' Home, where 1 resided until August 8th. On the morning of August 7th we arose at the 5 o'clock bugle call and prepared for When bad taken my place at the table I tasted my coflee and found that it was cold. asked the waiter if he would please take back pour it into the kettle and bring me some that was hot. He said he would not do -it.
I replied: 'I don't care whether you do so or He said: will tix you for After breakfast I went to my ward, helped sweep it out and made my bed. At 9 o'clock when I came down stairs I was caught by one of the policemen, who grabbed me by the collar and began choking me. He enid: '1 want said, then: Let us gO to the He said: -I and struck me in the face. I got wrestling with him and then Policeman Rice came up and the two threw me down, beat ine, tore my shirt and coat and dragged me into the- guardhouse, When the doctor came in there to see another patient, I. reported myself to him, as I had been under charge for epilepsy ever since I was put in the home.
He said he could do nothing for me so long as. the Governor had put me there. the morning of August 8.h the Governor called me to him at about 10 o'clock. He told me he would punish me for disobeying his officer's orders, and, turning to the policeman who had brought me there, he said, 'Put this man on the dump for thirty told him I was a sick man; that I was not able to go on the dump. He then told the quartermaster's sergeant to take away my clothes and put me out of doors." The sergeant sent: a policeman and took away all the clothes I had received while at the home.
He even wanted to take oft my shoes, but I would not give them up. Then I said to the Governor: I would like my papers that I received from Washington, my discharge and papers filed for He said: Get out out of my I told him the home was ours, and he replied that the home belonged to him, and told a policeman to put me out and I was put out I walked to Los Angeles and got lodgings day for I was two nights. On the folpicked up by a police officer in an epiteptic fit and sent to the County Hospital for treatment. Dr. Bryant says I ani incurable, and I have been sent out to the county farm, where I have been since August 29d." Other veterans, who were also driven from the home, corroborate the story of West, adding their own woes to the pitiful tales.
The correspondent talked to 100 men in the home. At first, through fear of the Governor's geance, these men refused to make complaints, but upon- promises to shield them being given they talked freely of their wrongs. One interview; that with an intelligent veteran named George Davis, will serve as a sample of the rest. He said: "I enlisted in the Fourteenth New York Cavalry and served until discharged for disability. I belong to 0 0 0 0 0 0 000 0 0 0 0 0 0 000000 AMONG THE SPORTS.

Special Disnatches to the CHRONICLE, SHEEPSHEAD BAY, September The seventh day's meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club was held today under very disagreeable circ*mstances.

It was for the Racing, $1250 added, one mile. At the quarter, half and three-quarter poles Little Minch led and was looked on as a sure winner, but as the last pole was passed and the horses were on the homestretch Hamilton was seen plying the whip furiously on Badge, who was nearly i length behind, and the little fourold was seen to stretch himself and passed under the wire nearly two lengths ahead of Bess, who finished about one length ahead of Hindoocraft. The time was 1:48. The fourth race was the principal event of the day, and one in which a great deal of Interest was taken. It was the Great Eastern handicap; with a purse of $5000 added, for two- yearolds, three-quarters of a niile.

COLORED BAPTISTS, The Recent Georgia Assault Dis- cussed at Length. INDIANAPOLIS, September 12.
The National Association of Colored Baptists began its annual session in this city to-day. About 100 delegates were present, representing almost every State in the Union. Several of the delegates while on their way here were assaulted at a small station in Georgia. They appeared before the meeting and E. K.
exhibited their injuries, and Rev. Lane of Savannah gave a graphic socount of the assault, which stirred the delegates to a high pitch of excitement, Many expressed themselves as being in favor of advising their Southern brethern to arm themselves and resist further attacks. Resolutions were adopted stating that it was the duty of the confederation to raise its voice in uncompromising terms against these outrages; that the grievance be laid before the President and the Governors of all the States where these outrages were perpetrated, and that they ask tor the protection that belongs to the citizens of the United States; that the facts and petition be telegraphed now to the President and. the Attorney-General, with a wish for an immediate investication. A committee will be appointed to wait upon the President.
The tire day was given up to the discussion of the assault, and many advised resorting to arms. REDUCED ASSESSMENT PARTIAL JUSTICE DONE TO SAN FRANCISCO. Instead of the Threatened Increase the City Valuation Is. Reduced About Fifteen Millions. Special Dispatch to the CHRONICLE.
SACRAMENTO, September 12. The Board of Equalization, which has been listening all this Week to arguments pro and con as to whether or not the assessments should be raised, finished its labors this morning. The entire assessment of five counties was reduced as follows: San Francisco 5 per cent, Los. Angeles 10, San Bernardino 5, Fresno 10, San Diego 10. Santa Barbara was increased 5 per cent.
This does not include moneys nor solvent credits. When San Francisco was reached, Morehouse of Alameda moved that the assessment stand. Sloss moved a reduction of 8 per cent. Receiving no second he changed his motion to 7 and then to 6, when Gaffey seconded his motion. Dunn said he was convinced the assessment was too high, although there had been a steady progress.
Morehouse still contended that the assessment was none too high. Gaffey said he had personally examined the assessment roil of San Francisco tuis year. He bad collected sales amounting to $6,711,913, and had compared. them with the assessments. Taking everything bogus sales, tions and all-the percentage of cash value was 60 per cent.
If the doubtfal cases were thrown out, as they should be, it gave an assessment of 68 percent. These were all large sales. If an equal number of small sales were collated, as had been done by Sioss, he believed they would show real estate in San Francisco assessed at 70 cents on the dollar. This was at a higher rate than in any other county. Personal property was not assessed as it should be, but that was the case everywhere.
He believed that money was assessed better in the city than in any other county he had visited. The motion to reduce 0 per cent was lost, Gaffey and Sloss voting aye and Dunn, Morehouse and Wilcox. no. The motion was then changed, making the reduction 5 per cent. Dunn voted ave with Gaffey and Sloss, and the motion carried.
To-morrow the board will hear E. B. Ryan of -the Southern Pacific Company, who will ask tor a reduction of the company's assessment, and Saturday the State rate of taxation will be fixed. Information of the action of the State. Board of Equalization in reducing the assessment of this city and county 5 per cent was received by Mayor Pond yestertay morning.
A number heavy property owners received private advices from Sacramento about the same time, and all expressed great satisfaction at the result. Tax Coltector O' Brien is preparing for the work which will now necessarily devolve upon him. The changes to be made upon the assessment rolls will necessitate an expenditure of at least $5000 for clerk hire. There are more than 87,000 names on the rolls, and an additional number of clerks will be eniployed in the Tax Collector's office to make the required calculations and alter the tigures. The entire amount of the reduction is $15,302,020.

PROTECT OUR FOOD FROM AMMONIA, ALUM, LIME, AND ALL OTHER ADULTERANTS USED TO CHEAPEN BAKING POWDERS.
Eminent chemists employed by National and State Governments inform the public that, upon analysis, they have found many Baking Powders to contain Ammonia, Alum and other noxious substances, the same being injurious to health and dangerous to life. Ammonia is a harsh and caustic alkali, derived from animal excrement. The Royal Baking Powder contains Ammonia as a leavening agent. The New York State Board of Health and the Ohio State Food Commission have severely denounced the Royal Baking Powder Company for grossly misrepresenting their official reports relative to Baking Powders.

I was transferred here from the home -at Dayton, 0., where I had lived six years. was at first employed as a clerk here.
1 look Governor Treichel as a very peculiar nian. Time and again have 1 witnessed men driven by him from his presence with abuse and insult, without the least reasonable provocation. His abuse drove me out of my situation here. I have taiked with the Governor about the disposition he has manifested, and he admitted that at times he suffered from mental aberration. The fact that so many civilians are employed here at such expense is decidedly injurious to the home, as it deprives old soldiers who are willing and able to work of a few dollars.
They could perform the labor better and at one third the present cost to the Government. The food they give us is terribly poor, generally of sufficient quantity, but so poor as to be entirely devoid of nourishment. We have here sycophantic brutes who o- cupy positions as guards, called police, who sometimes abuse the men sonably. The home furnishes the men with tobacco: While this was being given out in my ward I was out walking on one occasion, and on return I asked for my ration. For answer he arrested me and put me in the guardhonse." The statement of John Moore of Company ward 1, is briefer but more to the point.
He said: I charge Governor Treichel with falsehood and dishonesty. He employed me as a teamster, agreeing to pay me $10 per month. When pay day arrived he gave me $7, but refused to give me more. He acknowledged that he promised me $10, but stated that he was not authorized to pay more tian $7. Civfian teamsters were receiving $30 per month I refused to work for less than $10, and was sent back to the barracks.
claim that I was defrauded out of $3. I believe Governor Treichel dishonest in retaining it." It has been ascertained beyond doubt that the Governor positively refused to allow religious services to be held in any hall, and the men de siring to worship God were forced to go off and assemble under trees for that purpose. Many of these facts are known to Colonel H. H. Markham, Pacific coast representative of the board of managers, and that gentleman is now on the way to Dayton to attend a meeting of the board.

The crime for which the little man was arrested was one of the 'boldest ever perpetrated in Sonoma county. Isaac Parsons is one of the wealthiest citizens of Santa Rosa. He is banker, but is very old, and often finds it easier to transact business at his honie than at the bank. On the night of August 24th last he had been looking over a valuable collection of papers, consisting of bank checks, mottgages and of bank sfock, at his home in Santa Rosa.
That night two men, W. F. Lamar and J. Boyd, who appear to have known of the old man's actions, after he had retired opened the front door with skeletoh. keys and soon had possession of urore than $40,000 worth of.
these valuable papers. Parsons knew nothing of the robbery until next day. The thieves went to San Francisco. Among the plunder was a box containing. $25 in gold and a valuable watch.
They pawned the watch at the Bay City, and that fact established a clew which led to their arrest here yesterday. The wheezy little man was W. F. Lamar, and Boyd is a man who followed him to the police station and who was arres.o.1 some hours later. Valuable papers had been left in 'a K- street saloon by Lamar, who gave the barkeeper instructions to deliver them to Boyd if he should call for them.
When Lamar was jailed Boyd weut to get the papers, but was told by the man in charge of the saloon that he would have to wait for the proprietor, who would be in at 6 o'clock last evening. The officers were informed aid -at 6 o'clock Rider and the Santa Rosa officers were waiting for Boyd. 'He was promptly on band and. was taken to the station. He entered several vigorous denials ol any knowledge of any crime, but his protests were useless and he was locked ap, and this afternoon WAS taken with Lamar to Sonoma's capital.
Lamar does not deny having the stolen property. in his possession, but says it was given to him by a man in Santa Rosa. He admits he pawned the stolen watch in San Francisco, but sticks to the story that he received the valuable bundle from the stranger. Boyd maintains.a lofty air of innocence. Strange to say, none of the papers were disposed of.
More bank stock was found than Mr. Parsons knew that he had lost. This and other of the property was negotiable, and all of it was worth. its full value, Aggregating $10,000, yet not a dollar was realized on it. The Santa Rosa officer.
has no doubt I ut that Lamar will plead guilty when taken into court. He is evidently, the officer say's, an expert in crime. SANTA Rosa, September 12-Ofcer Greshong arrived to-night from Sacra. mento with the two thieves who robbed the house of Isaac Parson. SAN JOSE JOTTINGS.
