CLUNIE OPERA HousE-The Carleton
English Opera Company produced, with
marked success, the comic opera Nanon"
last night before a very large and thor
oughly representative audience. 1t was a
full house, such few seats as were vacant
were mostly held by season ticllet-holders.
There was the necessary lack of a full
orchestra, the brevity of the engagement
not warranting it. But there was orchestral
support to the choruses and in the concerted
pieces. The music is light, vivacious and
mertorlous, without being brilliant But
the themes were sufficiently allied to give
unity OF effect TO the opera. with vet such
diversity as to produce pleasing variety. |
The musical character of the troupe is of |
even excellence, and the discipline of the
company perfect. About forty people ap-
peared in the opera, all of them active par.
Elephants. Misses Poullin and Vincent had
the leading female roles, and their vocal
izaCOn was received with the favor
OF generous commentator. Mr. Carleton
ard MeSsrs. Dumane Greensfelder and
Drew filled the leading male roles, and re-
celved a pronounced verdict of approval.
The three first named were critically in
dorsed for their musical numbers, while
Mr.. Drew bore the low comedy honors.
Mr.. Cartoons fine baritone has improved
since he was here some fourteen months
ago. Ii is fuller, richer and more express
slve and marked by deeper sympathetic
quality. 1t is a splendid instance Of a con-
stantly-used and admirably preserved vocal
condition. The encores extended all the
leading people were numerous enough and
so sincere As to crafty the extreme of van
ity. No better balanced, better managed
or more richly costumed English opera
troupe has bid for favor herein fact, in
matter of detail and dramatic work it has
not probably been equaled in recent yea
in this city. Mr.. Carleton came to the
fo0tlights last night and addressed the
audience to assure 1t that tonight when
The Mikado will be presented, bringing
on all the " people" of the company, the
audience will hear the full and legitimate
opera, for the sole right to produce which, |
III all the West, he pays Gilbert and Sulli- |
van, the authors, a percentage on each per-
Torrance. He pronounced The Mikado,' |
as played by rival companies in the West, |
to be pirated and incomplete. 1t is safe
to say that the house tonight will be filled
to the uttermost of standing room. The
scenery, especially appointed for the piece,
belongs to the company and is carried with
It, and the costumery is claimed to be I'M
equaled in perfection Of detail and rich
ness by any eyer put upon the stage At
the Mikado matinee tomorrow the
prices VIII be 81 for seals reserved, rs cents
for general admission, and 30 cents for the
family circle.
\ CASE OF BRUTAL WIFE BEATING
Yesterday morning, about o'clock, the
usual quiet Of the neighborhood of Ninth
and G streets was disturbed by the shr;eks
of a woman. The neighbors ran out, and

Mitchell, who lives in the alley between F
and 6, Ninth and Tenth streets, was whip
ping his wife in most cowardly and
brutal manner. As it happened, all the
mea folks were away at that time and
the nelghborlng women were powerless to
render any assistance, and could only look
over their back fences and see the thing"

whom he had felled to the porch with a
blow and who was holding in her arms a
paralyzed child of years He picked up
the wife, carried her into the house. and
from the screams of the wife and child IL
was evident that he was repeating his
kicking. At this moment the mother of
the wife, who lives in the same block. went

tected her from further punishment fl
there ever was an indignant lot of ladies in
Sacramento, those upon that block were YES

WANTS IT DIsMIssED.-In Department
One of the Superior Court yesterday, when
the case of the People vs. Thomas Lacey.
charged with an assault with deadly
weapon upon Fred. Eisenmenger. was
called, counsel for the defense moved for
Its dismissal, at the request of the prosecu-
ting witness. Mr.. Eisenmenger himself
informed the Court that such was his de-
sire. He narrated the facts connected with
the difficulty he had with the defendant
heated discussion resulting in the latter's
calling him a liar, and being knocked down
IN consequence. After the trouble was
over Eisenmenger found that his clothing
had been cut, presumably by Lacey |
though he did not see any weapon in the |
latter's hand. Mr.. Lacey acted without |
premeditation, whatever he did was done |
IN the heat of the moment, Eisenmenger
had now no hard feeling against him, and |
would like to have the case dismissed. more
especially as Lacey was a poor man, not !
well able to stand the expense he would |
have to meet if the case went to trial. Dis |
trlet Attorney Buckley expressed his will |
lngneSS to kave the matter dismissed !
Judge Van Fleet took the matter under
Amusement

yesterday two carloads of rough marble, in |
huge blocks, brought from the Inyo Marble |
Company's quarry in Inyo county, five |
miles from Keller, in the neighborhood of |

attention, and was pronounced by those |
competent to Judge 10 be very superior |

important particulars, which would make |

able property. Mr.. Luce will keep por- |
