Of local brands, and all who seek
excelsior brands In any line,
should drop in at E. Martin &

From the testimony of young
woman wac was summoned by
NittiDger to testify to his good
character aud fair dealing, in the
City Court, yesterday, 1t appears
that that individual imagines that
ne is "masher," as we'll as an
employment agent. The witness,
when pressed in cross examination
by the Deputy District Attorney,
stated that, after the business for
which she had called was com.
plsted, NittiDger handed her bis
photograph, aud requested hers In
return. This she declined to give;
and, when asked why, she replied
that he was married man and,
besides, she did not want his pic
ture anyhow. The bringing out OF
this unlocked for fact, for q time
had q depressing effect on the ac-
cused, but he soon recovered his
efff0ntery, which he retained until
the verdict was rendered.
Elsewhere will be seen the ad-
vertisement of the complimentary
concert rendered to Miss Mamie
Perry, of Los Angeles. It will be
seen that this long expected event
will come off at Turnverein Hall,
on Saturday evening, the 18th inst.
While the programme has not
been announced, we are able to
state, on authority, that the reper-
tory selected for the evening will
embrace rare collection OF vocal
gems, Operatic and ballad, in
which Miss Perry will be assisted
by the best local talent of Los An
geles and by distinguished artists
from abroad. OF course the lead
ing and overruling attraction will
be the gifted y youDg cantatrice, born
and raised in Los Angeles. whose
success in Italy has been so pro-
nOunced, aud which was notably
emphasized in her debut in the
opera of the Countess of Amalfi, at
Ostigl:a. We shall have much to
say of this matter before the con-
cert comes off.
The San Benito Advance thus
reaches out for our "Representa.
tive:" RomusldO PachecO has at
last "braced up" enough to intro
duoe bill in Congress-. The fact
should be recorded in "caps," and
the superb looking Congressman
from this district presented with q
leather medal. The bill introduced
is one to repeal the land grant to
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
We do not think Pacheco's action
was stimulated by a desire to serve
his constituents. On the contrary,
we think it is in direct opposition
to the wishes OF the people of the
southern portion of the State, these
who would mostly be benefited by
an opposition trans.cOntinental
railroad. In fact it looks very
much like job in the interest of
the Central Pacific Railroad. How
ever, PachecO deserves q great deal
of credit for having energy enough
to even introduce bill of any kind
whatsoever.
City Justice Adams's Court was
engaged from 10 o'clock yesterday
morning until 7 last evening in the
trial, before full jury, of the case
of the People vs. f. Nittinger, on
the charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretences, an account of
which was given in yesterdays
HERALD. Deputy District Attor-
ney Morgan appeared for the Peo.
pie, Nittinger appearing as bis
own attorney. A large number Of
witnesses were examined on both
sides. The jury, after q few mln-
ives deliberatioD, brought in q
verdict OF guilty as charged in the
complaint. The prisoner claimed
the statutory delay and, cOnse-
quently, sentence was deferred un-
til $3.50 O'Clock this morning. The
punish ment for the crime of which
he has been convicted Ia u fine of
not more than treble the amount
out of which the complainant had
been defrauded aud imprison ment
In the county Jail Of not more than
one year, obtaining money under
false pretences being one of the
few crimes for which the law i'm
poses both fue and imprisonment.
We take from o Keokuk paper
the following in regard to Mr..
Calkins, the gentleman who was
out here few weeks ago making a
collection for the Iowa State Hor.
ticultural Society Of the fruits and
trees of Southern California: "The
opera houses have been crowded
