LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Miss FLErsssER's CoHcERT.-Miss Minna
Fleissner gave her first concert last evening.
an excellent audience assembling at the Con-
gregational Church to hear her, despite the
prevailing storm. Miss Fleizsner is soprano
of cultivation, strong in tone, of reliably
broad register, and much musical force and
yigor. Her lower notes ere soft, but in the
upper, sweetness is sacrificed to strength.
Her voice is one of those reliable, &C.
curate and confident ones that are SO
desirable, and the residence of this
young lady here is therefore q decided
and hattering acquisition to Sacramento's
musical forces. She gives pleasure by her
singing and evidences correct taste. She
managed her voice with skill, and gave no
signs Of WEAKNESS or great effort, though in
two numbers singing exceedingly difficult
gelections-such as only good and thor
oughly-trained voices will attempt. Miss
Fleissner's reception was success, and she
received very fattsring marks of approval
from the audience, to the great mass of the
people present she being stranger. Many
floral offerings were sent up to her, SIS
also to the other ladies who assisted.
Mr.. Heyman was unable to appear, because
of illness. Miss Fleissner sang go Don
Fatale," Verdi, LIE Desire" List and in
the duo with Mrs. Carter, louis Et Homo, "
Rossini. In the response to encores she sang
"Supposing :" in the duo with Mrs. Carter,
Wanderers Night Song" and "Swabian
Maiden" Mrs. Carter sang SO Mic Fer
nando," Donizetti, twice in duets with Miss
Fleissner, "Arrow and Song" Pinsuti, and
for encores, MAID of Arcade " and Islands
the bass solo, 1.-THE Exile's Dream" and on
recall sang "Great Isis" Mozart. Miss

MURDERER ARREsTED.-Detective o. G
Jackson, who has been engaged upon the Chi
nese murder case, which occurred Septembe
Sd on the Norris grant, has arrested the prin
cipal actor in the crime and he will be brough
before the Superior Court to-day upon tn
Indictment for murder found by the las
Grand Jury. It will be remembered tina
the Chinamau who was killed, All Che, wa
murdered in his cabin at Sailors Bar, and hi
premises robbed. Seven Chinese were en-
gagged in the murder. All Chez was thei
foreman, and he was shot three times by th
gang and robbed of several hundred dollars
Jackson claims that he has arrested the mai
HLfO Qlu bn6 ellOObluBs aIl Iilstb io wall OS obA
to prove that fact upon the trial. he ar
rested him on Dupont street, in San Fran
cisco, about week ago. and has since beel
engaged in completing the evidence in tn
case A reward had been offered by the Gov
eraor, and also another by the Chinese Con
panies, for the arrest and conviction of an.
of the parties engaged in the murder.
THE PUMPING WoRKs.-Tbe foundation
for the new pumping works on Y street hav
just been completed by the city, and tn
pump and machinery are expected this weel
from the contractor at San Francisco. Tn
location is ct the foot of Eighth street, in
stead of at the sewer on Sixth street, as it i
lower ground and better reservoir capacity i
obtained there. A ditch has been opened
from Sixth and V streets to where the pump
ing works will stand. The discharge pipe vii
pass through the Y street levee about min
feet below the top of the embankment, in
stead of pumping the water up over the top
This will save power when there is not back
water on the outside of the levee, and whel
there is, it will require no more power t.
pump against back-water than TO raise tn
water over the levee.
