Sunday evening Sheriff Hale, of Ala
media county, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriff McComber, of Folsom, and guards
Farmer and Anderson, from the State
Prison. left Folsom in a wagon in pursuit
of Festus B. McDonough, who while be-
ing taken to the Folsom prison by Deputy
Sheriff Wilsey, of Alameda county, last FIJI
day morning, to serve term OF ten years for
grand larceny, jumped from the train near
Alder creek and escaped. 1t had been learned
that he was making his way toward Anna
dor county, travelling principally at night.
About daylight yesterday morning man
was discovered walking along the road, a
mile or two this side of Plymouth, and he
proved to be the escape. Recognizing Nc
1ember, he said, "Well, Mac, l suppose
Won want me?' to which the officer re-
nlied. That's what we are after" Nc
Donough was in badly crippled condi-
tion having broken three of his ribs when
he inroped from the train, and the injury
Was such that he could not run nor even
climb a fence to get out of the way, else he
probably would not have been caught so
easily. He said that he had got one of his
hands free from the handouts before he
made his escape, and afterwards he got rid
of the cuffs entirely with the aid OF rock.
He was brought back by the officers and
lodged in the prison. McDonough many
years ago was resident OF Sacramento,
and kept a saloon on the north side oil n
street below Fourth. About eighteen years
ago he and a man named Kelly robbed
Mike Connolly in the saloon of about $500
and a gold walsh and chain, after first
stupefying him by dosing him with snuff in
his beer. Officers Karcher and Harvey
worked the case up, and McDonough got
sentence of five or six years Imprisonment
for grand larceny. Subsequently ne was
sent for another term from Ell Dorado
county.

METROPOLITAN Theater.

The Emerson-Ryman combination had a
fine house last night. The entertainment
is light, pleasant, and altogether agreeable,
without being notably striking. Paul La
Drew is the female impersonator of the
company, and is fairly good without being
who have preceded him. John Leonard
is fine clog dancer, one of the foremost
we should say. Add. Ryman is widely
known as humorist, and in his burlesque
Grafton creates great merriment. Mabel
Santley appears in motto song and the
rapid change" speciality, in the accom-
plishing of some astonishingly quick
changes of costume, and at last appear
ing in feshings, a change from which
is not to be thought of. Harry
Emmett appeared in motto songs; he is
more dramatic in method than musical in
voice. Billy Emerson as " Hungry Jake"
an old character of his, supported by Add.
Ryman and others. He was received with
marked demonstrations of favor, that testi-
fed to the strong hold he has upon popular
good will. "Kennette," a trapeze per-
former, came next. He is certainly dar-
ing fellow, dashing into his acts with an
abandon that is thrilling. One of these is
leap into a lofty swing, that gives way
and drops him on the stage. 1t is daring
feat, original, and among the best of ira
peze performances we have ever seen.
William Arnold, Add. Ryman and Mabel
Santley close the performance with farce
The same bill tonight. 1t is anticipated
that before the engagement closes the COM
pany will appear in minstrelsy.

Board of City Trustees.

The Board met yesterday, all the mem
bers present Minutes OF last meeting read
and approved.
The report of H. C. Wolf, Chief Engineer
of the Water Works, for the week ending
December 18th, showing that 1S,15S,OOO
gallons of water had been pumped, was
read and filed.
Ordinance No. 213, granting the right of
way through the city to the Pacific Postal
Telegraph and Cable Company. was read
and passed. 1t is published officially in
our advertising columns.
Proposals for constructing sewer in the
alley between K and L, Eighth and Ninth
streets. were opened and read, and the con-
tract awarded to William Snarr.
1t was resolved that notice he given that
it is the intention of the Board to have a
sewer constructed in the alley between n
and o streets, from Twelfth to Thirteenth,
with flush-tank at Twelfth street. Also,
that the exterior boundaries of the district
benefited by said improvement are declared
to be the south line of n street on the
north, the north line of o street on the
south, the west line of Thirteenth street on
the east and the east line of Twelfth street
on the west.
The bond of Henry L. Buckley, as Police
Judge, was T6du anu OTueTSu Ol llS.
On motion, the Superintendent of the
Water Works was authorized to procure
5000 feet of six-inch water pipe.
W. II. Beatty appeared before the Board
and made complaint that j. II. Carroll was
excavating earth forth of the north levee,
in the vicinity of Twelfth street, from
place that is nearer the levee than the law
allows. Referred to the Street Commits
sioner, to examine and report.
City Attorney Hart, to whom had been
referred the question whether the PROPOSE
ton to levy tax for immigration aid was
carried at the late municipal election, sub
mitted report to the effect that it was de-
feated, as it failed to receive two-thirds of
the votes cast. He further held that if it
had received two-thirds of the votes cast it
could not have been enforced, if any tax
payer saw proper to fight it, on the ground
that no revenue, either general or special,
can be ra sed by municipal government
except for governmental purposes. The
object of the tax must be for the necessary
protection of, or direct benefit to, the gov
eminent levying it.
The opinion was read aad filed and the
Board formally declared the special tax
proposition defeated.
