4 TO DISPOSE OF SEWAGE. Trustees Ml Negotiate for a Large Pump. Planning to Dig a Ditch Down Street and Bring the Water to the River Levee. A special meeting of the Board of Qtty Trustees was held last night for the purpose of considering the question of the savage that is flooding the southwestern portion of the city, Trustees Leonard Wachhorst, Kent, Davis, Mc- Kay, Devine, Bentley and Tozer being present and Leonard presiding. W.

R. Campbell addressed the board, telling them the condition in which the citizens of that part of the city were placed. He favored the digging of a sump art; Front and streets and rigging a temporary pump. He thought it would not cost much to dig a ditch from Fifth or Sixth street down to the ammonia pond, and thence close to the liver levee. The necessary power could be easily and cheaply procured, either steam or electricity.

Tozer said that Mr. Newberry proposed to force the water from Sixth and s.reets to the levee, and Mr. Campbell tedd that Mr. Newberry had made a great mistake, which would cost too much. Tozer said that was strange, as Mr.

Newberry is considered to be a very able engineer. Devine moved that steps be taken by the Sewage Committee at once to procure a suitable pump immediately and place it at Sixth and streets as soon as possible, and to dig a ditch from Sixth to Front. Not seconded. Street Superintendent Murray an open ditch and planking it over at the street crossings. Kent said that he had been informed that the gas company would furnish an tfngine and either steam or electric power to run it.

Mayor Hubbard said that he thought the most feasible plan was to dig a ditch for the water and thus avoid the cost and delay of getting pipe. He thought that Front and streets would be the most feasible place for the pump. Devine moved that the Superintendent of Streets be instructed to commence digging a ditch as near as possible to the levee, in order to lead the water to the pump. Bentley said that before the motion to dig the dttoh was carried, he would like to know what kind of a pump the Sewerage Committee proposed to get. He did not think it w-ould be good judgment JLo spend much money on a pump that would simply keep up with the water, but that it would be better to buy with an eye to what would be of use in the future.

Another thing, he did not think it would be wise to begin the ditch until the board had ascertained that it could secure a place for the purrvp and a right of way. At present it had not even tbe privilege of using the ammonia pond. Devine included into his motion that the Sewerage Committee should ascertain what could be done toward securin 'a place. Tozer said that all the engineers agreed that the pump should be placed at Sixth street. Mr.

Campbell said that Mr. Newberry would, if he made plans again, not place the pump at Sixth street. Mr. Bassett had told him (Campbell) that his plan right, but that he had to make his plan for Sixth street, as Penaiish, the Chairman of the Sewerage Committee, said that he would never vote in favor of a plan unless it would drain the ilttle pond on his property. Kent advocated getting the price from the San Francisco pump men for a centrifugal pump that would throw 7,000 to 10.000 gallons a minute.

He moved that the Mayor do so. Tozer did not object to the ditch as a temporary arrangement, but he would pin his faith on practical engineers for the permanent plant. "These practical, scientific men are great bunglers," said Kent. "Most of their knowledge is got by reading and they cannot apply it. I don't have any faith in them." "That's so; that's what's the matter," chimed in Devine.

Bentley thought they should knowwhere the ditch was going to before it was begun. He would move, as a substitute for all the motions, that the Mayor and the Sewerage Committee negotiate with the owners of the land at Front and for either the purchase or lease of the land, at their discretion, and report on Monday night. Devine moved, as a substitute for the whole, that the Mayor, Chairman of the board and the Chairman of the Sewerage Committee be authorized to buy or lease what land is necessary, and when satisfied, to have the ditch dug immedi- Bentley still thought that his motion should prevail. It was not yet known where the permanent pumping plant ould be placed. Devine's substitute was carried Kent thought tha the Mayor could correspond with the different land owners of the lands below the city and find what arrangements could be made with them toward allowing the water to run down over their lands through the canal.

He moved that it be done. No Devine moved that the Mayor see if the property owners below the city would not allow the gates to be opened and the water be allowed to flow out for a day or two. said Kent, "I think that a to come to me and ask to let the water run off his place onto mine, in order to accommodate him. I won't vote for anything of the sort." W. A.

Hall of the Sacramento Coal Company was asked concerning the capacity of the different pumps down the river. The one on Randall Island, he said, cost $7,500, and would throw 12,000 gallons a minute. It has drained all the water and sipage from 441 acres. The Van Loben Sels pump had much greater capacity. Bentley said that the city of Marysville bought a pump a few Weeks ago with a guaranteed capacity of 25,000 gallons a minute, and it has proved entirely insufficient for the work and is now under water.

Afoer. considerable discussion, the Sewerage Committee, with the Mayor and Chairman of the board, were authorized to at once purchase a pump of the size necessary to do the work. Kent moved that the same committee be authorized to negotiate for the purchase of the necessary pipe to bring the water from the pond to" tiie box factory, and also for power to run the pump. Carried. The confirmation of E.

Franklin as director of the Free Library was taken up and he was confirmed unanimously. The nomination of A. H. Packard as gardener at the Plaza was refused confirmation by a vote of 7 noes to 1 aye, and the board adjourned. FOOTBALL TO-DAY.

Nuramento and Woodbridge Athletes to Meet at Agricultural Park. This afternoon the Sacramento High School and Woodbridge College teams will clash in the manly art of football at Agricultural Park. The kick off will take place at 2:30 o'clock. It will be remembered that Woodt ridge has this season received defeat at the hands of the Sacramento boys, and a very lively game is anticipated. Both teams have been hard at work, but owing to the long spell of wet weather, the boys have been compelled to do a great deal of their practicing in doors.

this reason, however, there ought to be some pretty team and signal work, an element in the game which is sometimes overlooked when the players are at liberty to brush up in the field. The local High School team will probably line up as follows: Right end, Merkley, right tackle, Payne; right guard, Merkley, center, Birdsall; left guard. Reed; left tackle, Powers; left end, Holl; quarter-back, Hornlein; right half-back, Flint; left half-back, May; full-back. Van Voorhies. Smith and John Scott.

MORMON CHURCH. President Tanner Will Deliver His Concluding Discourse Sunday. To-morrow- will be the last meeting of I President Tanner in the Pythian Castle, as he leaves on Monday for San Cisco, the Mormon headquarters of California. Since he came to the State, I a year and a half ago, several branches of the church and Sunday-schools have been organized, and the number of members has been greatly increased. Those desiring information concerning the Mormons will have an opportunity to-morrow to hear the leading exponent of Mormonism on the coast.

During his short visit to this city a number of discourses have been delivered and the organization of the Sacramento branch perfected. He leaves others, who have been called to the ministry under him, to look after the interests of the branch and the proclaiming of their doctrine here. POLICE COURT.

E. Towle, was continued yesterday in the Police Court till today. That of George Willing, charged with disturbing the peace of F. L. Lindquist, was continued till February 4th.

Willing has been for some time in the habit of abusing the Salvation Army and calling the members foul names, till forbearance ceased to be a virtue and they had him arrested. George Sprout, accused of vagrancy, demanded a jury trial, and his case was continued till the 7th inst. William Cook was fined in the Police Court yesterday for disturbing the peace, with the alternative of twenty days in jail. Fred Chance was found guilty of battery, and will receive sentence to-day. JACK BEERY.

Mrs. Berry, mother of the young man who made such a fool of himself on Thursday evening by attempting to shoot pretending to Maude Methven, went to the jail yesterday to him. She feels deeply pained at tiie unpleasant notoriety which her son has gained for himself and the family. It is said that someone has been trifling with young Berfy by writing him I ttera purporting to have come from 'iss Methven and so wording them as tantalize and annoy him. He admitted yesterday that he has no perianal acquaintance with the young The discharging of a pistol appears to have been simply a drunken freak, though it might have resulted seriously.

T. W. Keene Kentucky" Hallett and the Frawley Companies. Mr. James played "Macbeth" 3ast night at the Metropolitan Theater to a good but not so large a house as should have encouraged the local management to bring on the legitimate whenever possible.

To-night the play will be "Othello," with Mr. James as the Moor and Mr. Lindsley as lago. It is the opinion of those who have seen him in all parts he assumes, that as lago Mr. Lindsley is at his best.

Some go so far as to rank him among great lagos, and all agree in this, that he is far more than good in that character. Mr. James himself holds Mr. Lindsley to be one of the most successful personators of lago on any stage. Of Mr.

James' Othello it is conceded that it stands among the foremost. This afternoon at 2 the play will be "Romeo and Juliet," with Mr. James as Mercutio, a role in which he takes special pride for his work, and that he plays with masterly ability. Concerning Mr. James' Macbeth, we think there will be little division of is a powerful one, surcharged with human vigor, but neither overdone nor in any respect neglected.

Some departures from the conventional were noticeable, as, for instance, in the banquet scene no ghost of Banquo stalks. Instead of that, the play of fancy is indulged in just as in the dagger scene. It needed not the grewsome figure of the dead Banquo to stride across the'hall, pointing to its slashed throat or sit in Macbeth's place, to increase the vividness of the scene under Mr. splendid reading and action. There was lacking in this same scene completeness in the surroundings that marred the spectacular effect.

For guests, the "gentlemen" and "worthy friends," "noble friends," were, by reasons economic, reduced to two, and a group of the common soldiery, who most inappropriately were seated at table to banquet with the King. In the cast, too, there was no Sinard or his son; but, then, these are often in acting editions omitted, as is the character of Lady Macduff and her son in all of them. But Mr. James' Macbeth was satisfying. Physically robust, he did not use the fact in his art like flail or windmill; on the contrary the power of his work was most manifest in significant facial expression and in the intensity of the meaning with which he invested the words of the text; a meaning intended by them made real and felt by reason of the completeness of the action and the reading.

The depth of remorse, the sting of the whip of conscience, the weakness and cowardice of ambition urging him on in the face of moral protest, and despite the pleadings of a better he depicted with a vividness, a power of intensity more terrible and more pitiable than the power of violence or physical contortion, or strain. As for Miss Kruger's Lady Macbeth, it surprised us, being so much better than we had expected. It was in nothing coarse or masculine; it waa a womanly, indeed, a gentle Lady Macbeth, and yet notable for deep earnestness, the set purpose of a mind warped by ambition, and by the power of an intensity born of a knowledge revealed by the character that her husband was "infirm of purpose" and easily molded to her will by her pleading, and her taunting as well. Not only did Mr. James receive frequent recalls, but the audience approved Miss Kruger by similar compliment.

Her voice is not strong, but Is admirably trained; her figure is slight, but her carriage graceful; her gestures always appropriate and her features remarkably plastic to her will and significantly expressive. These attributes, with intelligence behind them, gave us a Lady Macbeth commanding almost as much of sympathy for her woes as condemnation for her crimes. Mr. Lindsley's Macduff won him a curtain in one scene. It was an honest effort, suffering by comparison with the many robust and greater Macduffs the Sacramento stage has seen; nevertheless a very good Macduff.

This afternoon and to-night's performance of the company closes the engagement of the company here. It is to be hoped thai each occasion will be honored by large audiences, we have so few Shakespearean performances and so many of the order that adds nothing to and detracts so much from the credit of the stage. At the matinee we I may expect a lovely Juliet iat the hands of Kruger, a romantic Romeo from the art of Mr. Lindsley and an ideal Mercutio from I Mr. James, while at night, as already i said, James as Othello will appear in a favorite role, and Mr.

Lindsley in what all concede to be a most superior lago. At the Clunie Opera-house this afternoon at 2 o'clock, to-night and to-morrow night the Hallett Stock Company in the pretty sensational border drama "Fern, the Waif." The musical grotesques, Deltorello Brothers, give a most pleasing performance on each occasion. Thomas W. Keene, the American tragedian, wfll appear at the Metropolitan Theater Tuesday evening next as "Louis XI." and Wednesday evening as "Richard HI." Mr. Keene when here last year was so unfortunate as to be taken sick and his company had to play without him.

At that time nearly the whole been sold at $1 50 a seat. This season Manager Todd has secured $1 rates and the box office will open Monday morning for sale of seats. Mr. Keene is in the front of the great actors of America and the day emotionally and intellectually. His readings show deep scholarship and careful study, as well as broad mental grasp and his elocution, while having none of the stilted and wooden characteristics of the professional elocution methods, is singularly careful and clear ciation, and his voice is so deep, mclii fluous and sympathetic and his read- ings of the lines of his author so full of meaning, that his speaking of the words an exposition of the text.

Few actors are thus able to mii form the mind while appealing to the emotions. That Mr. Keene can do so lis one of the chdef factors in his wide popularity. Mr. Keene has engaged Adele Belgarde as leading woman, and she will join his company next Tuesday in this city.

Miss Belgarde will play Marie In "Louis XI," Lady Anne ln "Richard III." Miss Belgardr Ls well known in San Francisco, where she has latterly made her home. She has had much experience and won no little success in legitimate roles, having played ith Alexander Salvini and Frederick Warde, as well as with Lawrence Barrett. Mr. Keene has with him complete mountings for all the plays In which he appears. These and the costumes he has had made to the standard of the best authorities, ao that his stage productions become historical object lessons.

The Frawley Company, which is to open here February 11th, will produce "The Lost Paradise" and "Men and Women." The company has been newly strengthened and enlarged and is to-day thfe best stock company organized on the cdast since the days of the old California Theater dbmpany. W. A. Brady's "Trilby" Company ta to appear here February 20th with Edith Orane as who personated the character here a few months ago. The company has been organized to tour Australia, and will sail from San Francisco March sth.

A. M. Miller, advance agent for the Old Kentucky Company, is in the city, arranging for the appearanoe of the troupe here February 7th. Next week the Hallett Stock Company will produce at the Clunie Opera-house the roaring farce-comedy, "My Precious Baby." Mortimer Snow is to join the troupe as leading man. It is claimed that the midnight meeting of directors in a bank in the third act of "Men and Women," to be played here by the Frawley Company, is the most intensely dramatic scene ever put into any modern play.

The pickaninny band in "Old which was with the play when given here over a year ago, still attaches to it and is a chief attraction. Miss Mary Tiniberman, one of the leading support of Thomas W. Keene, has personal friends in Sacramento, who anxiously await her arrival to welcome her. The movement among theatrical managers and actors at the East to abandon Sunday night performances in theaters is gaining ground and several of the first-class managers have now signed agreement to it. It ought to be made a universal custom.

The people of the stage need a day of rest as well as anyone else, and their performances will be all the better for it. Laura Burt, who has the Madge of the play "Old Kentucky," to be here presently, was the original Jane in "Blue Jeans." She carries with her in a special car the pet horse which she rides in the play. They have in the East now a new star known as "the singing doll." She is the wife of a Paris physician, and came to this country with her husband on business, but has been induced to remain for a time. She has sung with Melba, Calve and many other great artists. She wag all the rage in Europe last year.

She conceived the idea of dressing as a doll and appearing with all the mechanical movements of a doll. After a few preliminary squeaks as the doll is "wound up" by an attendant, she burts forth into song, and near its close the machinery appears to break down, the song dies away in a dolorous wail and the doll is carried out. She takes high easily and often reaches G. Madame Patti has commended her art warmly. She tells in her vivacious way of an amusing experience at a concert given in the Free Masons' Hall, London.

Secret ceremonies were in progress, with the Prince of Wales as chief conductor. At a signal the door was opened, she was led upon the platform and sang the selection prepared. At its conclusion she was obliged to retire by the same door, which was immediately locked, notwithstanding the demand for an encore- by the assembled Masons. "Chimmie Fadden" is having a marvelous run in New York, so much so that bids to have it go elsewhere are enormously high. Thursday night in New York the veteran actor, J.

H. Stoddart, was given a reception by artists, actors, critics, managers and literary people in honor of his having completed his sixty-third year on the stage. In all that time he missed but two performances for which billed. When Stoddart was in Sacramento last he stated to friends here that inside of a month he would retire from the stage. That was two years ago, and he is at it still in the cast of "The Sporting Duchess." Sarah Bernhardt isn't an atom ashamed of being a grandmother.

Many stage ladies try to hush up that dread fact, or prevent its accomplishment by keeping their daughters single and insisting upon the celibacy of their sons. Sarah doesn't care. She shows herself in public ith little Mile. Simone, her granddaughter, who is already old enough to go to school. Many a woman would try to choke such an obstacle in the way of apparent youth.

Mayor Pingree of Detroit was shocked recently by a at a local theater. One of the scones represented a fire alarm at night in a young woman's school, when a number of the pupils appeared in white nightgowns, as if just aroused from sleep. Mayoi Pingree at once, it is said, issued a de cree directing that at future performances the young women should appear in "bright red silk slippers, red ings, red bloomers and red overskirts." Reginald De Koven, the composer, writes thus of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the new and phenomenal American singer, of whom so much has been said in Europe and America, and such vociferous praises sung: "The phenomenal in art is never truly artistic, and the singing of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, whose phenomenal range of voice has been extensively advertised and com. mented on of late, does nothing to controvert this axiomatic truth. That Miss Yaw can sing several notes highei than either Patti or Nilsson or any other great prima donna I have ever heard.

I freely admit, but as these extremehigh notes areanythingbut pleasant in quality I do not see that her possibilities in this direction are of much advantage to her. Her medium register is weak and her vocal style immature and I should suggest to Miss Yaw that she ignore for the time being the fact of her phenomenal range and apply herself seriously to study, in which event there is, I think, good possibility that she may become a great artist, as some of her high notes are really remarkable." Land Patents Signed. Governor Budd has signed land patents as follows, under the grant of sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections for school purposes: B. W. Reeves, 320 acres in Merced County; John Worthington, 320 acres in Tehama County.

BARBER CHRIST ACQUITTED. Tne Jury Believed He Was Temporarily Insane. It Took Them Less Than Ten Minutes to Arrive at Their Verdict. William Christ is a free man again, for which he may thank a sympathetic jury and the ability of his counsel, Hiram W. Johnson.

The case was submitted to the jury late in the afternoon yesterday, and inside of ten minutes they returned to the courtroom with a verdict of acquittal. The defendant was for a time almost overcome when the result was announced. There was no question about Christ having killed his wife accidentally, as he claimed immediately afterward and up to the time of his trial. The simple fact was that he upbraided her for her infidelity, of which he had just received overwhelming proof, she scorned him and asked what was he going to do about it, and his reply was a bullet in the brain. He says that when she taunted him his mind became a blank, and of what followed he had no recollection whatever.

This is apparently the view the jury took of the matter, and was the theory which his able counsel so eloquently pictured to the men who were to determine the fate of the accused. That there was sufficient provocation to rob some men of their only temporarily, but can be no doubt, and whatever the fact may have been, there was no proof that even suspicion of his wife's guilt had entered Christ's mind before the morning of that fatal day when Mrs. W. C. Hart presented to him documentary evidence of the illicit relations existing between his wife and her husband.

There was, however, proof that Christ and his wife had lived in apparent peace and happiness, even after the serpent of lust had left its trail across the threshold of their home and while the doings of Mrs. Christ and her paramour were subjects of neighborhood gossip for months. These things account for the verdict of the jury in the face of the cold fact that Christ murdered his wife in his own home and within a few minutes after they had been seated together partaking of their evening meal. It is not the first time that a jury acquitted a dishonored husband for taking the life of his wife or her paramour, or of both, but usually the act is committed when the guilty pair are detected in their guilt. During the arguments yesterday it was apparent that the sympathy of the large audience was with the defendant.

There was the groundword for an effective appeal to the jury, and that the opportunity was not lost upon Mr. Johnson is demonstrated by the result. District Attorney Ryan ably presented the case for the prosecution, but when the' defense abandoned the theory of accident and set up that of mental irresponsibility the District Attorney had that to combat which was not so easily dlsproven, as well as to contend against the fallibility of human nature when the life of a fellow-creature is at stake. The District Attorney could easily have proven that Mrs. Christ was not in an erect position when the pistol fell upon the floor and was discharged, as Christ at first claimed, for then her face could not have been powder-burned.

Neither could the bullet, flying upward and striking her in the temple, range downward. In fact, had the defense not abandoned the accident theory but made its stand thereon, a very different termination of the case might have resulted. Mr. Johnson, in his argument, administered such a roasting to W. C.

Hart, "the man in the case," that Hart's ears must have fairly burned, however distant he may have been, if there is anything in the old adage. He drew a vivid picture of a home disgraced and dishonored as had been that of the defendant, and long before the case was submitted to the jury it was apparent that the eloquent young lawyer had won and saved the neck of his client. THREE MONTHS. Perkins, tho Boy-Beater, Properly Punished by Justice Davis. Al.

Perkins, who was convicted in the Police Court on Thursday of battery for beating his nephew, Harry Curry, unmercifully with a rawhide, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the County Jail. Perkins pleaded for leniency, saying that his wife was sick, but Justice Davis said that the offense was an aggravated one, as the boy had been beaten unmercifully, and he could see no reason for exercising any leniency in the case.
