he and the driver , disregarding their
duties had taken "just a drink too much. ' '
Itaforc they knew it , they were botli roll

driven to the depot , until too late to
throw the mail into the out-going trains.
The driver managed to elude arrest , but
Wicks was less fortunate , and was cap
tured by the police while in a bad state
of intoxication. Yesterday morning ho
fined $5 and costs by Judge Stenberg.
lie was somewhat more fortunate than
the driver himself , who was lined $50 by
the postal authorities for his dereliction.
Sadie McBride was sent up to the

How the City's KGVCIIIIO Is Swelled
by Police CourtFinoi.
"There are thirteen proprietors of
gambling establishments and 105 women
of the town who will be called upon to
liny lines into the city tieasury during
month of March , " said Police Judge
Stenberg to a reporter yesterday. "The
amount paid by the gamblers ? It is
$27.05 per month. Formerly there were
only four establishments in the city
which paid a line of this amount , the
other and smaller ones being allowed to
escape with a fine of $12.55. Lately ,
however , I have made the line a uniform
ono of $37.05.
"The numncr of gambling establish
ments appear to have increased since
Mayor Boyd issued his "closed-front
door" order last summer , when there
were but seven houses paying a fine ? "
"No , there are really no more estab
lishments in the city now than there were
then. The fact is that a number of pri
vate poker rooms have been running hero
for some time without paying a fine. The
proprietors of these have been brought to
time , and are now required to pay a
license the same as tlio men who run the
big games. These little poker rooms
catch a good share of the trade nnd there
is no reason why their proprietors should
be exempt. Yes , they are scattered
all over the city , and some of them are
patronized by highly respectable men
who don't care to play at an open board ,
with chances of meeting anybody anil
everybody. There are a few more of
these private joints which maiingc to run
without contributing to the city treasury ,
but it won't bo long before the pro
prietors are brought to grief. " :

Railway Notes.
The cut in passenger rates has caused
a large increase in the trallic of the
Union Paeilio road , and every morning
and night the west bound trains are
heavily loaded with passengers , a largo
number of whom are of the emigrant
class. Yesterday morning an unusu
ally largo number of passengers
went out on the overland ,
most of them destined to points on the
coast. The latest "turn" of the Union
Pucilio will catch a good many people.
That company now oilers tocarry pas
sengers to Los Angelas , Cal. , via San
Francisco , and return without extra
charge. Heretofore passengers holding
tickets to Los Angclos have been obliged
to pay local faro from Sacramento to San
Frant-ihco and return , if they desired to
visit San Francisco on route to Los An-
gelos.
J. 11. Green , traveling agent of the
Union Pnoifio returned ye.itorday and tolls

carry the si-alps of his victims at his

labors as a passenger agent were confined
fcololy to dead heads.
