Recommendations $3.50 last evening
small frame building owned by R. j. Msrk.
ley, standing on the lsvee, few hundred
yards from his residence, south of the city,
was set on fire and destroyed. 1t was of
small value and unoccupied. Mr.. Merkley
was driving down home at the time, and soon
after catching sight of che blazs he saw
man running up the levee. and hailed him:
" Say, are you the man who set that build
ing on fre?' The pedestrian heard, but an
swered not. minute later another man sp-
peared, also running, and the same question
was propounded to him, but he was as dumb
as an opponent of levee improvement when
confronted by facts. On arriving at the
scene OF the fire, Mr.. Merkley found that the
building was past saving also, that it was
likely to burr another and more valuable
structure near it. He hurried home, and
turned out his gang of Cinnamon, sending
-
making very picturesque fire brigade ic-
deed, though rather noisy. 1t is probable
that the incendiaries would have burned all
the buildings (ehere were three close togetherl
if they had not heard Mr.. Merkley coming.
METROPOLITAN THEATER.-The Katie Put.
nam Comedy Company opened at the Metro
politan last evening to full house. and from
the amount of applause from the rise of the
curtain till the finish of the piece, everyone
must have been well pleased. Miss Putnsm
is an excellent actress, with splendid voice,
of the same class as Lolita and Minnie Pal
mer, being superior to either. The company
supporting Miss Putnam is very strong, aad
each taking their psrt in very creiitable
manner. 1t certainly is one of the best com.
panies, Of its line, that Sacramento has seen
for some time past, and no doubt will have
crowded house at the matinee to-day, and
also this evening. At the afternoon perform
ance Z" Lena" will be repeated, and tonight
Miss Putnam essays the dual role of Little
Nell and the Marchioness, in Dickens play
of the " Old Curiosity Shop" in which she
does some excellent singing and acting. This
company leaves for the East on Sunday, con.
sequentiy tonight will be the last opportunity
OF seeing this most excellent actress.

Army of the Republic, gave camp fire at

Piano" Mrs. j. Q, A. Henry "reminiscences
of the late unpleasantness," by Comrades
P. Wise, Hurlburt and others While the
company were drawing rations the orchestra
took possession of the platform and diseoursed
some excellent music
GOOD REAsoNING.-A well. known business
man OF this city remarked yesterday
why, of course the people of this city will
vote the special tax. and why not? Security
enhances values, and insecurity correspond
ingly decreases them. If l owned all the
property in this city | would not hesitate 8
moment to spend $50, 900 on the leyees. And
would | not be gamer thereby? Most as
suredly | would. As clear business propo.
sitiou no man with any foresight at all will
refuse TO vote for the proposed tax levy Of
S2S, 900, simply because he is only one of the
many owners OF the property contained in
the CITY,"
