SAVED FROM DISGRACE. THE ATTEMPT TO IMPEISOK A YOTJITG GIBL FOE VAGEANCY. Antoue Vallas' Conspiracy /gainst Bli Stepdaughter Fails—The Girt to Have a Good Borne. Georgiana Hendricks, the young girl accused by her stepfather, Antone Vallaa, of being a vagrant, wes discharged in the | Police Court yesterday. City Attorney Hart made the motion to dismiss the case, and took occasion to express his opinion Of the conduct of Vallas. When the latter swore to the complaint he claimed to know that the girl associated with lewd women, i and stated that his object was to keep her away from scch company. Since procur- ing the warrant he has not made his ap- pearance in the Police Court, though the case was called twice. Mr. Hart remarked that he did not like the conduct of Vallas, and thought he had other motives than rescuing the girl from bad company. The latter allegation in the complaint was, he believed, untrue, as all of the neighbors of Miss Hendricks spoke of her as a modest and qu'.et girl. Hiram Johnson said he had been re-1 tamed as counsel by the girl's guardian, S. W. Haynie, aud heknew there was noth- ing in the charge made against her. He couid produce evidence to show that Val- las' object was to get control of some building and loan stock and a -aiaii piece ofreal estate which the girl's mother had left her. The prosecution was a malicions one, and he could show that within the past month Vallas had attempted to ab- duct the defendant. Jud^e Buckley ordered the case dis missed and stated that if Vallas had been sabpenaed to appear in Couit, and if the prosecution so wished, the Court would have issued an attachment for his arrest. Mr. Hsynie, the gentleman who bad kindly consented to act aa Miss Hendricks' guardian, called at the Recobd Ukiok office last evenicg and said that, before as- suming the responsibility of guardian, he had made a close inquiry about the girl. All that kntw her spoke'ef her as an in- dustrious, well-behaved young person, against whom not a worJ couid be said. Miss Hendricks herself called upon him and related her trouble—how she was be- ing hounded by the mau Vailas, and said she wished to have some good person act as her guardian. He (Mr. Haynie) had been recommended to her, and she desired him to act as such, Having satittied himself that the youDe girl's story was true, he promptly assumed the responsibility. Mr. Haynie stated that Miss Hendricks'would henceforth have a good home, as she would be adonted into the family of Mr. and Mrs. D. T\ Luftin, of Walcut Grove, old and well known residents of this county. It would seem that there should be some way in which the law coald be made to reach and punish the man who sought to blast this young girl's character and have her cast into jail as a vagrant. An attempt to do great bodily injury to a person is a punishable offense, but here is a case wherein it appears that a most malicious attempt was made to do irreparable injury to a younggiil'd character and reputation- one from which she could never have hoped to recover—and this, too, by one who should be the first to protect her from COWNIE'S WATCH. The Victim of Bobber Sbinu is Glad to Recover Hia Property. John Cownie, Jr.., who was with the man Davis when the latter was roblted near the American river by Shinn and Dorse?, the notorious highwaymen, and who was also despoiled of a watch and same money, writes as follows to Chief of Police Drew, on havi^ beeu informed of the arrest and confession of the robbers, and of Nelson's discbarge. It will be seen that, while Cownie does not doubt that Nelson was in- nocent of the crime, he still cannot under- stand how the facts pointed so strongly to him as the guilty party : Dcs Moises, lowa, December Sth. Warren F. I>rtv, OUtf nf PiAici, Saemmento, Cod.— Dear Sik : Your kind favor of the 23d ultimo duly received. Absence from home has prevented an earlier reply. I'iease forward the watch 10 me by exrr<.ts. There was also a silver chain attached at the time ol the robbery. The coiife.st.Mu, I pretum-?, is all right, but there are a lew discrepancies. For instance, the rob- ber "holding the horto." This he did not do. But, in the main, it is correct. Mr. Davis was Very excited, and emptied his pockets of every- thing.. I hesitated somewhat, and it was only the clicking of the revolver that brought me to the point of delivering. While I am much pleased at the thought of recovering my watch—not so much on account of its value, hs of associations connected with it —Btlll the ;mln that it brings, that an innocent person has> sullen d, robs me eutirely of the pleasure I would have lelt. I was positive of that voice, stature, etc. I proposed to ilr. Kel- son's attorney to talk with the prisoner pri- vately, that 1 might better contrast his voice, appearance, etc., but this was not acquiesced in. I would like to see this man Ehfnn, and know how he simulated that voice and note his Btature, the shape of his head, etc. Also, how it was that Mr. Nelson wa*. nearly two hours in going from the saloon to the dairy, as the men at the saloon testified and those at the dairy in- formed me of the lime of his arrival. Sincerely tbankiDg you for the Interest you have taken in the case, and also all the authori- ties for the zeal displayed in behalf of a stranger, 1 can and will bear testimony that Bacramento will be peculiarly fortunate if she can always command the services of such pains- taking and trustworthy officials. Sincerely yours, John Cownie, Jr. METEOROLOGICAL MUTTERINGS. Obuerver Bnrwlck'x Weather Ihronicles] —Prospect of Rain Up North To-day.

The rival claimants were engaged as partners in a peddling business, but had a falling out over the division of the prop- erty. Meyers claims that the team, wagon and harness were his, and that Gasser did not put enough capital into the business to warrant him in laying any claim thereto. Harbor Commissioners' Report.

I A Han Who Was Robbed Relates What He Beard Jiui Before He Was Help Up. The driver of one of the Oak Park cars told a Record-Ukios reporter, late last night, that at about 9 o'clock his car was boarded near Oak Park by a man whose name he could not give, bat whom he had known sometime, and who reported that he had just been "stood up" in that vicinity —in fact, right near the stable at Oak Park —by three footpads. Under a threat of beiDg killed, he al- lowed them to rob him of what he had, and that was only a quarter of a dollar and a plug of tobacco. Bat he was more deeply impressed with something he heard just a few minutes be- fore he met the footpads, than with his own adventure. He said he had been to the house of a friend in that neighborhood to get some crapes, and was on his way across the fields toward Oak Park, when he heard five or six shots in quick succession not far away. Immediately following the shois he heard some one cry out: "My God: You've shot me!" He continued on his way. and on reach- ing the terminus of the street railway he encountered the three men referred to. and who proceeded to rob him as stated. It was quite dark, and he did not see any weapon in ihe hands of any cf the men, but they ordered him to submit or they would kill him. Whether the outcry heard before was made by some victim of the thugs, or by one ef themselves, he could not tell, bat it sounded to him as if made in earnest. Considering that scarcely a day or night passes without one or more persons being robbed, or houses or other buildings plun- dered ; and in view of the small number of Eolicemen on duty at one time (less than a alf- dozen;, it would seem to be an excel- lent time for the citizens to organize a vol- unteer force of Deputy Sheriffd and sweep the city and suburbs of the gangs of foot- pads and thieves lhat now infest this com- munity. There are plenty of young men who would qaickly volunteer their serv- ices, snd it looks as if they could find some pretty lively work to do. That there are a number of desperate men now operating in about this city there can be no doubt. They represent allgrades of criminals, trom the commonest sneak thief to the foodpad and highway robber, who would not hesitate to kill in order to get money. This was shown by the attack on young Mandeville the other evening on a thickly inhabited street, and at an early hour. There are thefts committed daily and nightly of which the police do not hear. Some are not reported to the police, and in other cases the 'acts are suppressed in the hope of catching the guilty parties. A few days since a blanket was taken by some felJow from a hcree tied on the street, and yesterday a robe was stolen from a doctor's buggy on X street, in front of his office. The men who commit this class of thefts are of the "low down' order of tramps, whose first thocght is for their bodily com- fort. But there are others more desoerate, and even the common tramp becomes bolder as he succeeds in his petty larcenies. Something should be done to rid the city and suburbs of these scoundrels. The first step in that direction should be to revoke the licenses of the numerous dives about town that harbor many of the thieves, bat that appears to be asking too much, judg- ing from past experience. ANOTHEB CASE OF BOBBERY. On Tuesday night a gentlemen who re- sides somewhere near Wheatland was in this city, and in going to the depot to re- turn home by the Oregon train he was stopped by two men on the foot-bridge over China slough. They demanded his money, and as he did not "shell out" with the alacrity desired they set upon him, knocked hiru4own and robbed him of be- tween $S and $10. The man showed up at the depot with various wounds about his head and face, where the ruffians had beaten him. He left for home without reporting the case to the police. OXB TOWS AROUSED. A telegram from Bakertfield will be found in the Record Union's news col- umns this morning, stating that County Treasurer Baker was knocked down there last night and beaten by footpacs The official succeeded in killing one of h> as- eaiiants, and the police captuied the others The citizens at once-held a meeting and organized a vigilance committee to rid the place of tramps and thieves. Bakersfield cannot possibly be more seriously afflicted than Sacramento and some ottier towns in this part ot the State. MRS. BULLOCK. She Discourses on the Alleged Evl, Eflects of Tobacco. Mrs. Bullock, one cf the National Or- ganizers of the Women's Christian Tem- perance Union, delivered a lecture last evening at the Ninth-street Baptist Church, on the subject. "Save the Boys." The church was comfortably filled with listen- ers, among the number being several min- isters of the different religious denomina- tions in Sacramento. Mrs. Bullock devoted about an hour's time to an argument against tobacco in every form. She said the sign often seen in front of a cigai store was that of an In- dian holding a bunch of cigars in his ex- tended hand. To her the savage seemed to say: "You destroyed us by confiscating our lands, but we leave you, as a legacy, this little weed, which will in time destroy you." The use of the weed, she claimed, de- praved morality acd led to excess. The habit was not only practiced by boys, but of late seemed to be indulged in by young girls and ladies who moved in the" most fashionable society. The morphine and opium habits were explained ss following' from the use of cigarettes. Mrs. Bullock asked all present to sign a petition which the W. C. T. U. proposed to present to the next Legislature, urging the passage of a law making it a crime for persons to sell tobacco to children under 1G years of age. MORE FINE ORANGES. Another Section Where Citrus Fruits Grow Well. L. Elkus returned a few days ago from a visit to the neighborhood of Ridley, in the foothills of Fresao county, where the Cali- fornia Wine, Land and Fruit Association, in which he is largely interested, has nearly seven thousand acres of land which is largely planted to citrus fruits. Mr. Elkns brought with him some beautiful oranges picked from two-year-old trees, which are as fine as any grown in the State, also some Japanese persimmons and other fruit. The association has five thousand orange trees in bearing, among them a new variety of seedless oranges which are likely to prove a strong rival to the Washington Navels. Union Building and Loan Association. At a meeting of the Union Building and Loan Association, held last evening at its office, No. 1013 Fourth street, the following Directors were elected for three years: B. U. Sttinman, S. Wasserman ana T. R Jones. The following officers were elected: B. C. Steiman, President; F. A. Shepherd. Vice-President; E. K. Alsip, Secretary; Kobert T. Devlin, Attorney; C. H. Hub- bard.

Preston School of Industry. The Directors of the State Prison have issued invitations to the ceremony of lay- ing the corner-stone of the Preston School of Industry, at lone, Amador county, on the 23d instant. "The ceremony will take place at 10 a. m., aud invit'd guests, other than those residing between Sacramento and lone or Stockton and lone, will be obliged to be either in Sacramento or Stockton in time to connect with the spe- cial trains provided by the Southern Pacific Company. Arrangements have been made whereby guests may return to San Francisco after Ithe ceremonies, arriving at 8:45 t. k. of the same day.

The citizens of lone ! City and Amador county will furnish con- veyances from the depot at lone to the grounds. Should it rain, the ceremonies will bs postponed until farther notice. CHAUTAUQUANS. Westminster Circle Gives One of Its En- joyable Entertainments. Westminster Circle Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Association gave an enter- tainment last night in the lecture-room of the M. E. Church South, on Seventh street. It was given to members and to Chautau- qua graduates. There was a good attend- ance, and it proved a thoroughly eDjoyable affair, with jast enough of the flavor of scholarship about it to make the social re- union the more delightful. Mr. Hall, the uew President, was in- stalled and presided. Miss Irene Richard- son read a concise, clearly expressed essay upon the origin, worth and methods of Chautanqns reading courses. Misses Rivett and Quinn played a piano duet. Mr. Phillips sang two baritone selec- tions. Rev. Mr. Silcox read a paper upon the place of Francis Bacon in "Sci- ence and Literature." This paper was the chief number of the programme, and wag a deeply thoughtful essay : enlivened by wit and finished by brilliancy of imagery and polished diction. Mies Sawyer sang a soprano selection and Miss Connelly re- cited "Aux Italiens." As reliefs, or breaks in the exercises— what are termed five-minute conversation interludes—were observed, the company breaking no into groups and conversing on these snbjects as announced: Holiday seasons, Bacon, the arts, matters perplex- ing many minds. DuriDg the evening the ladies of the Circle served a light but choice luncheon. The evening was thus passed in a rational, en- tertaining manner, and was a happy ming- ling of the literary and the social. THE SCHOOLS. Holiday Vacation Fixed— No Money for Street Improvement. There was a special meeting of the City Board of Education last evening. The object of the meeting was the allowance of teachers' salariea for the month and to fix the duration of the holiday vacation. The Board decided that the schools Bhould close on Friday (to-morrow), and re open en Monday, January sth. A demand was received for the amoant due for the improvement of Tenth street, in front of tLe block on which the Capital Grammar art! Primary Schools are located. The Board decided that, inasmuch as the City Trustees refused to levy a sufficient tax for the support cf the school depart- ment, the Board was unable to meet the demand—that the school property belongs to the city and the city should pay it. THE GLACKEN-FISHER CASE. Arguments Made Before Justice DeWne— Continued Till To-day. Arguments in the examination case of the People against J. J. Glacken and Charles Fisher, charged with the murder of Antone Menke, Jr., were made before Justice Devine yesterday. A. J. Bruner made the opening argument for the prosecution, and was followed by Grove L. Johnson for the defense. The closing argument for the prosecution was commenced by District Attorney El wood Bruner. In his opening, A. J. Bruner announced that he would ask the Court to hold the defendants for trial on the testimony elicited entirely outside of the Chinese witnesses. The arguments continued until 5 o'clock in the evening, when the Court took a recess until this morning, pending the conclusion of the District Attorney's argument. AMUSEMENTS. This evening at the Metropolitan Theater the distinguished Russian pianist, Vladimir de Pacbmann, will give an evening with Chopin. We have already given a sketch of his life and of his musical career, which has won for him the title, "The Poet of the Piano." In San Francisco his success this week was complete, all the press sounding his praise more or less. Extracts from the San Francisco Bulletin of Tuesday will in- dicate the judgment cf San Francisco con- cerning Pachmann: His playing is a revelation. It is a wonder, acd what puzzles his hearers is how he obtained such perfection as a pianist. * • To be such a pianist as De Pachmann is one must have the soul for it. One can readily see that De Pachmann is a natural born pianist by his awkward mannerisms. The explanation is that he is so absorbed in his art as to forget every- thing else while he is playing. He motions and even talks to himself as if t3 remark that such and such a passage was played, not only to his own ialisftciion, but to that of others. Chopin's music, whether it be a sonata, a prelude, a valse, a mazouma ar a polcnntise. requins the mest defllinets of handling. It re- quires a light, airy touch combined with that of peculiar force and the most decided phases of expression and sentiment. Vladimir de Pachmann combines all these qualifications. He bas the touch of a woman and the heavy stroke of a forgemastw welding a piece of iron. The first is of a delicate nature and the latter never of a pound, but a straight blow, hitting the mark with a certaintj of attack and not grating, as can be accomplished by what is known as a chance blow. His execution is marvelous, every note being brought out with the greatest distinctness, and whether It be In single, double, triple or chromatic runs, it is all the same. His piano movements are all deli- cately shaded and his fortissimo ones as cleat as the tone ot a perfect bell. One beauty of his playing is the ease with which he accomplishes the most difficult runs. There is no effort. There is no living pianist ot the present day who can be compared to him in exemplifica- tion of the mu^ic of Chopin. He seems to be inspired with he music. It is in every vein of his tody, and bis fiugeisare the outlet of his soul's thoughts. His manipulation of the piano is the perfection of art and De Paehmann and Chopin seem to have grown together as one. Paraphrasing the Moslem adage, it may be taid that "there is one Chopin, and De Pachmann is his prophet." Referring to his peculiar mannerism, the Chronicle erf Tuesday said: It has a tendency to make one laugh, but that doe 3not seem to trouble him. We have been accustomed to sit soberly and decorously, class- ically, so to speak, and listen to the piano vir- tuoso. But DePachman encourages you to en- thuse, with him, over the charming" composi- tion. At first it is distracting, but that effect wears off, and one gradually yields to the pian- ist's undoubted fascination. At Pythian Castle yesterday afternoon the ladies of the First Unitarian Society inaugurated a novel entertainment, con- sisting of an "apron sale," at which all sorts of aprons, from all parts of the Union, were sold. It will continue this afternoon. The box office for sale of aeats for Frank Daniels' "Little Puck" engagement, opens at the Metrcplitan Theater this morning. There is no extra charee lor reserving seats. A domino party will be given this even- ing at Turner Hall by Capital City Kebekah Degree Lodge, I. 0. 0. F. BRIEF NOTES. I Henry Wittpen, the well-known truck- man, is very ill with consumption, and it is feared that he will not recover. A light drizzling rain fell for a few min- utes about midnight last night. It is to be hoped that this means a cessation of the dense fogs that have prevailed for so long. City Physician C. B. Nichols has ampu- tated the legs of Ah Sung, the Chinaman who was so badly injured" by the falling limb of a tree on Tuesday. The operation was performed between the knees and ankles. It is said that a few evenings since one of the large number of dogs kept in the suburbs by "Indian Mary." a swill-gatherer, jumped at a woman named Mrs. Capwell, a milk-vender, and caught her by the throat, hadly lacerating the flesh. Chief Drew ordered the vicious brute killed. W. F. Jones desires ihe fact stated that the charge of vagrancy made against him by a special officer was not dismissed on condition that he leave the city, but be- cause the complainant had no ground" fur the charge. He (Jones) has lived here twenty years, and says his arrest was with- ou: cause. A horse attached to a cab indulged in a lively runaway yesterday forenoon.

The c-«alogne of the Palo Alto Stock Farm fo: 1890, jast issued, comprises a vol- ume of 320 pages admirably arranged. It j shows the names, p-:digrees and records of ' the trotting and thoroughbred stock of that noted breeding farm, as well as lists cf the colts, their breeding, etc. There are altogether 384 brood mares, 25 stallions in service, in addition to 101 colts. In the thoroughbred department there are four stallions in service and 68 brood mares, each and every one noted for its great indi- viduality as well as royal breeding. "Palo Alto stands to-day," remarks a contempo- rary,"'as the greatest trotting horse breeding establishment in the world, and it is not a surprise that of the many visitors wh« come to this coast to enjoy the beauties of scenery and magnificent climate, thousands of them annually paj Senator Stanford s farm a visit. "There is no stock farm in the Uni:ed States that can show such a large amount cf thoroughbred blood among their brood mares as can Palo Alto, and that the theory of breeding so fully carried out by Senator Stanfoid is a success, is evidenced in the fact that so many of the trotters trained at this mammoth establishment have thor- oughbred blood 'close up.'" The trotting department ia under the charge of Charles Marvin, who is recog- nized as one of the most successful trainers in the country. NEW INCORPORATIONS.

Antoue Vallas' Conspiracy /gainst BliStepdaughter Fails—The Girt to

Have a Good Borne.

Georgiana Hendricks, the young girlaccused by her stepfather, Antone Vallaa,of being a vagrant, wes discharged in the |Police Court yesterday. City AttorneyHart made the motion to dismiss the case,and took occasion to express his opinionOf the conduct of Vallas. When the latterswore to the complaint he claimed to knowthat the girl associated with lewd women, i

and stated that his object was to keep heraway from scch company. Since procur-ing the warrant he has not made his ap-pearance in the Police Court, though thecase was called twice.

Mr. Hart remarked that he did not likethe conduct of Vallas, and thought he hadother motives than rescuing the girl frombad company. The latter allegation in thecomplaint was, he believed, untrue, as allof the neighbors of Miss Hendricks spokeof her as a modest and qu'.et girl.

Hiram Johnson said he had been re-1tamed as counsel by the girl's guardian, S.W. Haynie, aud heknew there was noth-ing in the charge made against her. Hecouid produce evidence to show that Val-las' object was to get control of somebuilding and loan stock and a -aiaii pieceofreal estate which the girl's mother hadleft her. The prosecution was a malicionsone, and he could show that within thepast month Vallas had attempted to ab-duct the defendant.

Jud^e Buckley ordered the case dismissed and stated that if Vallas had beensabpenaed to appear in Couit, and if theprosecution so wished, the Court wouldhave issued an attachment for his arrest.

Mr. Hsynie, the gentleman who badkindly consented to act aa Miss Hendricks'guardian, called at the Recobd Ukiokoffice last evenicg and said that, before as-suming the responsibility of guardian, hehad made a close inquiry about the girl.All that kntw her spoke'ef her as an in-dustrious, well-behaved young person,against whom not a worJ couid be said.Miss Hendricks herself called upon himand related her trouble—how she was be-ing hounded by the mau Vailas, and saidshe wished to have some good person actas her guardian. He (Mr. Haynie) hadbeen recommended to her, and she desiredhim to act as such,

Having satittied himself that the youDegirl's story was true, he promptly assumedthe responsibility. Mr. Haynie stated thatMiss Hendricks'would henceforth have agood home, as she would be adonted intothe family of Mr. and Mrs. D. T\ Luftin,of Walcut Grove, old and well knownresidents of this county.

Itwould seem that there should be someway in which the law coald be made toreach and punish the man who sought toblast this young girl's character and haveher cast into jailas a vagrant. An attemptto do great bodily injury to a person is apunishable offense, but here is a casewherein it appears that a most maliciousattempt was made to do irreparable injuryto a younggiil'd character and reputation-one from which she could never have hopedto recover—and this, too, by one whoshould be the first to protect her from

COWNIE'S WATCH.

The Victim of Bobber Sbinu is Glad toRecover Hia Property.

John Cownie, Jr.., who was with the manDavis when the latter was roblted near theAmerican river by Shinn and Dorse?, thenotorious highwaymen, and who was alsodespoiled of a watch and same money,writes as follows to Chief of Police Drew,on havi^ beeu informed of the arrest andconfession of the robbers, and ofNelson'sdiscbarge. It will be seen that, whileCownie does not doubt that Nelson was in-nocent of the crime, he still cannot under-stand how the facts pointed so strongly tohim as the guilty party :

Dcs Moises, lowa, December Sth.Warren F. I>rtv, OUtf nf PiAici, Saemmento,

Cod.—Dear Sik : Your kind favor of the 23dultimo duly received. Absence from home hasprevented an earlier reply. I'iease forward thewatch 10 me by exrr<.ts. There was also asilver chain attached at the time ol the robbery.The coiife.st.Mu, I pretum-?, is all right, but thereare a lew discrepancies. For instance, the rob-ber "holding the horto." This he did not do.But, in the main, it is correct. Mr. Davis wasVery excited, and emptied his pockets of every-thing.. Ihesitated somewhat, and it was onlythe clicking of the revolver that brought me tothe point of delivering.

While I am much pleased at the thought ofrecovering my watch—not so much on accountofits value, hs ofassociations connected with it—Btlll the ;mln that it brings, that an innocentperson has> sullen d, robs me eutirely of thepleasure Iwould have lelt. I was positive ofthat voice, stature, etc. I proposed to ilr. Kel-son's attorney to talk with the prisoner pri-vately, that 1 might better contrast his voice,appearance, etc., but this was not acquiescedin. I would like to see this man Ehfnn, andknow how he simulated that voice and note hisBtature, the shape of his head, etc. Also, how itwas that Mr. Nelson wa*. nearly two hours ingoing from the saloon to the dairy, as the menat the saloon testified and those at the dairy in-formed me of the lime of his arrival.

Sincerely tbankiDg you for the Interest youhave taken in the case, and also all the authori-ties for the zeal displayed in behalf of astranger, 1 can and will bear testimony thatBacramento will be peculiarly fortunate if shecan always command the services ofsuch pains-taking and trustworthy officials. Sincerelyyours, John Cownie, Jr.

A SUBURBAN MYSTERY.

BE POSTED SHOOTIHG NEAB OAK PARK• LAST NIGHT.

IA Han Who Was Robbed Relates What

He Beard Jiui Before HeWas Help Up.

The driver of one of the Oak Park carstold a Record-Ukios reporter, late lastnight, that at about 9 o'clock his car wasboarded near Oak Park by a man whosename he could not give, bat whom he hadknown sometime, and who reported thathe had just been "stood up" in that vicinity—in fact, right near the stable at Oak Park—by three footpads.

Under a threat of beiDg killed, he al-lowed them to rob him ofwhat he had, andthat was only a quarter of a dollar and aplug of tobacco.

Bat he was more deeply impressed withsomething he heard just a few minutes be-fore he met the footpads, than with hisown adventure. He said he had been tothe house of a friend in that neighborhoodto get some crapes, and was on his wayacross the fields toward Oak Park, when heheard five or six shots in quick successionnot far away. Immediately following theshois he heard some one cry out:

"MyGod: You've shot me!"He continued on his way. and on reach-

ing the terminus of the street railway heencountered the three men referred to. andwho proceeded to rob him as stated. Itwas quite dark, and he did not see anyweapon in ihe hands of any cf the men,but they ordered him to submit or theywould kill him.

Whether the outcry heard before wasmade by some victim of the thugs, or byone ef themselves, he could not tell, bat itsounded to him as if made in earnest.

Considering that scarcely a day or nightpasses without one or more persons beingrobbed, or houses or other buildings plun-dered ; and in view of the small number of

Eolicemen on duty at one time (less than aalf- dozen;, it would seem to be an excel-

lent time for the citizens to organize a vol-unteer force of Deputy Sheriffd and sweepthe city and suburbs of the gangs of foot-pads and thieves lhat now infest this com-munity. There are plenty of young menwho would qaickly volunteer their serv-ices, snd it looks as if they could find somepretty lively work to do.

That there are a number of desperatemen now operating in about this city therecan be no doubt. They represent allgradesof criminals, trom the commonest sneakthief to the foodpad and highway robber,who would not hesitate to kill in order toget money. This was shown by the attackon young Mandeville the other evening ona thickly inhabited street, and at an earlyhour.

There are thefts committed daily andnightly of which the police do not hear.Some are not reported to the police, and inother cases the 'acts are suppressed in thehope of catching the guilty parties.

A few days since a blanket was taken bysome felJow from a hcree tied on thestreet,and yesterday a robe was stolen from adoctor's buggy on X street, in front of hisoffice.

The men who commit this class of theftsare of the "low down' order of tramps,whose first thocght is for their bodily com-fort. But there are others more desoerate,and even the common tramp becomesbolder as he succeeds in his petty larcenies.

Something should be done to rid the cityand suburbs of these scoundrels. The firststep in that direction should be to revokethe licenses of the numerous dives abouttown that harbor many of the thieves, batthat appears to be asking too much, judg-ing from past experience.

ANOTHEB CASE OF BOBBERY.On Tuesday night a gentlemen who re-

sides somewhere near Wheatland was inthis city, and in going to the depot to re-turn home by the Oregon train he wasstopped by two men on the foot-bridgeover China slough. They demanded hismoney, and as he did not "shell out" withthe alacrity desired they set upon him,knocked hiru4own and robbed him of be-tween $S and $10.

The man showed up at the depot withvarious wounds about his head and face,where the ruffians had beaten him. Heleft for home without reporting the case tothe police.

OXB TOWS AROUSED.A telegram from Bakertfield will be

found in the Record Union's news col-umns this morning, stating that CountyTreasurer Baker was knocked down therelast night and beaten by footpacs Theofficial succeeded in killing one of h> as-eaiiants, and the police captuied the others

The citizens at once-held a meeting andorganized a vigilance committee to rid theplace of tramps and thieves. Bakersfieldcannot possibly be more seriously afflictedthan Sacramento and some ottier towns inthis part ot the State.

MRS. BULLOCK.She Discourses on the Alleged Evl,

Eflects of Tobacco.Mrs. Bullock, one cf the National Or-

ganizers of the Women's Christian Tem-perance Union, delivered a lecture lastevening at the Ninth-street Baptist Church,on the subject. "Save the Boys." Thechurch was comfortably filled with listen-ers, among the number being several min-isters of the different religious denomina-tions in Sacramento.

Mrs. Bullock devoted about an hour'stime to an argument against tobacco inevery form. She said the sign often seenin front of a cigai store was that of an In-dian holding a bunch of cigars in his ex-tended hand. To her the savage seemed tosay: "You destroyed us by confiscatingour lands, but we leave you, as a legacy,this little weed, which will in time destroyyou."

The use of the weed, she claimed, de-praved morality acd led to excess. Thehabit was not only practiced by boys, butof late seemed to be indulged in by younggirls and ladies who moved in the" mostfashionable society.

The morphine and opium habits wereexplained ss following' from the use ofcigarettes.

Mrs. Bullock asked all present to sign apetition which the W. C. T. U. proposed topresent to the next Legislature, urging thepassage of a law making it a crime forpersons to sell tobacco to children under 1Gyears of age.

CHAUTAUQUANS.Westminster Circle Gives One of Its En-

joyable Entertainments.Westminster Circle Chautauqua Literary

and Scientific Association gave an enter-tainment last night in the lecture-room ofthe M. E. Church South, on Seventh street.Itwas given to members and to Chautau-qua graduates. There was a good attend-ance, and it proved a thoroughly eDjoyableaffair, with jast enough of the flavor ofscholarship about it to make the social re-union the more delightful.

Mr. Hall, the uew President, was in-stalled and presided. Miss Irene Richard-son read a concise, clearly expressed essayupon the origin, worth and methods ofChautanqns reading courses. Misses Rivettand Quinn played a piano duet.Mr. Phillips sang two baritone selec-tions. Rev. Mr. Silcox read a paperupon the place of Francis Bacon in "Sci-ence and Literature." This paper was thechief number of the programme, and waga deeply thoughtful essay : enlivened bywit and finished by brilliancy of imageryand polished diction. Mies Sawyer sang asoprano selection and Miss Connelly re-cited "Aux Italiens."

As reliefs, or breaks in the exercises—what are termed five-minute conversationinterludes—were observed, the companybreaking no into groups and conversing onthese snbjects as announced: Holidayseasons, Bacon, the arts, matters perplex-ing many minds.

DuriDg the evening the ladies of the Circleserved a light but choice luncheon. Theevening was thus passed in a rational, en-tertaining manner, and was a happy ming-ling of the literary and the social.

AMUSEMENTS.This evening at the Metropolitan Theater

the distinguished Russian pianist, Vladimirde Pacbmann, will give an evening withChopin. We have already given a sketchof his lifeand of his musical career, whichhas won for him the title, "The Poet ofthePiano." In San Francisco his success thisweek was complete, all the press soundinghis praise more or less. Extracts from theSan Francisco Bulletin of Tuesday will in-dicate the judgment cf San Francisco con-cerning Pachmann:

His playing is a revelation. It is a wonder,acd what puzzles his hearers is how he obtainedsuch perfection as a pianist. * • Tobe such a pianist as De Pachmann is one musthave the soul for it. One can readily see thatDe Pachmann is a natural born pianist by hisawkward mannerisms. The explanation is thathe is so absorbed in his art as to forget every-thing else while he is playing. He motions andeven talks to himself as if t3 remark that suchand such a passage was played, not only to hisown ialisftciion, but to that ofothers.

Chopin's music, whether it be a sonata, aprelude, a valse, a mazouma ar a polcnntise.requins the mest defllinets of handling. Itre-quires a light, airy touch combined with that ofpeculiar force and the most decided phases ofexpression and sentiment. Vladimir dePachmann combines all these qualifications.He bas the touch of a woman and the heavystroke of a forgemastw welding a piece of iron.The first is of a delicate nature and the latternever of a pound, but a straight blow, hittingthe mark with a certaintj ofattack and notgrating, as can be accomplished by what isknown as a chance blow. His execution ismarvelous, every note being brought out withthe greatest distinctness, and whether It be Insingle, double, triple or chromatic runs, it is allthe same. His piano movements are all deli-cately shaded and his fortissimo ones as cleatas the tone ot a perfect bell. One beauty of hisplaying is the ease with which he accomplishesthe most difficult runs. There is no effort.There is no living pianist ot the present daywho can be compared to him in exemplifica-tion of the mu^ic of Chopin. He seems to beinspired with he music. It is in every vein ofhis tody, and bis fiugeisare the outlet of hissoul's thoughts. His manipulation of the pianois the perfection of art and De Paehmann andChopin seem to have grown together as one.Paraphrasing the Moslem adage, it may be taidthat "there is one Chopin, and De Pachmannis his prophet."

Referring to his peculiar mannerism, theChronicle erf Tuesday said:

Ithas a tendency to make one laugh, but thatdoe3not seem to trouble him. We have beenaccustomed to sit soberly and decorously, class-ically, so to speak, and listen to the piano vir-tuoso. But DePachman encourages you to en-thuse, with him, over the charming" composi-tion. At first it is distracting, but that effectwears off, and one gradually yields to the pian-ist's undoubted fascination.

At Pythian Castle yesterday afternoonthe ladies of the First Unitarian Societyinaugurated a novel entertainment, con-sisting of an "apron sale," at which allsorts of aprons, from all parts of theUnion, were sold. It will continue thisafternoon.

A light drizzling rain fell for a few min-utes about midnight last night. Itis to behoped that this means a cessation of thedense fogs that have prevailed for so long.

City Physician C. B. Nichols has ampu-tated the legs of Ah Sung, the Chinamanwho was so badly injured" by the fallinglimb ofa tree on Tuesday. The operationwas performed between the knees andankles.

It is said that a few evenings since oneof the large number of dogs kept in thesuburbs by "Indian Mary."a swill-gatherer,jumped at a woman named Mrs. Capwell,a milk-vender, and caught her by thethroat, hadly lacerating the flesh. ChiefDrew ordered the vicious brute killed.

W. F. Jones desires ihe fact stated thatthe charge of vagrancy made against himby a special officer was not dismissed oncondition that he leave the city, but be-cause the complainant had no ground" furthe charge. He (Jones) has lived heretwenty years, and says his arrest was with-ou: cause.

In thethoroughbred department there are fourstallions in service and 68 brood mares,each and every one noted for its great indi-viduality as well as royal breeding. "PaloAltostands to-day," remarks a contempo-rary,"'as the greatest trotting horse breedingestablishment in the world, and it is not asurprise that of the many visitors wh«come to this coast to enjoy the beauties ofscenery and magnificent climate, thousandsof them annually paj Senator Stanford sfarm a visit.

"There is no stock farm in the Uni:edStates that can show such a large amountcf thoroughbred blood among their broodmares as can Palo Alto,and that the theoryof breeding so fully carried out by SenatorStanfoid is a success, is evidenced in thefact that so many of the trotters trained atthis mammoth establishment have thor-oughbred blood 'close up.'"

The trotting department ia under thecharge of Charles Marvin, who is recog-nized as one of the most successful trainersin the country.
