MIDsUM1IER- NIGHT FIsTIvAL-The Phil
harmonic Society holds at East Park Grove
tonight midsummer-night festival. It is
the first attempt OF the kind ever made in
Sacramento, and some curiosity is excited TO
see how literally the people will respond TO
it, for upon that depends further effort in
this direction. The Philharmonic is the lead
ing musical society of the city, and represents
good citizenship, and the aggregate attempt
to maintain here a music organization OF any
considerable strength. The concert to be
given, say the committees, is to en-
brace music of character especially
adapted TO an outdoor entertainment.
The concert Will begin at s o'clock, and con-
tinue fer something like an hour and half.
Seats will be provided for all who may come,
but the platform will be reserved for the
orchestra and chorus. Cars are to run at
short intervals on both the III and o street
lines. and until late hour. Every effort
has been made, the directors state, and will
be continued to make the affair select. Tn.
der no circumstances, they say, will tickets
be sold at the gate, nor any received except
such as are issued by the members for the
occasion. These at a low price can be pro-
cured to day from any member of the society.
At half-past nine o'clock dancing will begin,
and will be continued until midnight. There
is every reason to believe that there will be
an attendance commensurate with the efforts
of the society to inaugurate here moonlight
open air concerts, for which the delightful
summer evenings in Sacramento are SO well
adapted to render successful, both soci ally
and musically.

role of being farmers that were in the city to
get thrashing machine took the country
men out to see it-a new one down at the de-
pot also showed them some horses in a

which was agreed upon; were to give good
wages, etc. Finally it dawned upon Hayes
and Rogers that they were out of money and
as it was Sunday, could not get any from the
bank until 10 a. NJ. and consequently asked a
loan OF few dollars from the two men they
had engaged, until morning. An old watch was

appeared yesterday in the Superior Court for

fendant connected Mr.. Curtis with any trans
action in regard to the money, be was salts
fed it was not true that since the defend
ants previous statement, at the time of his
confession in Court, he (the Judge had taken
pains to investigate the matter to some ex-
.tnt, and found that Mr. Curtis was a man of
integrity and reputation-an
old citizen, vel spoken ef by ell his neigh
bo.s; ard, ina,much as tho statement of
Campbell had been made openly in Court,
