The Ladies', Concert.

Sacramentans are learning, though slow
ly, that whatever the Ladies' Central Com
mittee of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation undertake to do, they do it well.
| The concert last night was no exception to
the rule, and we only regret there had not
! been a larger audience present to enjoy the
excellent programme provided for the oc-
casion. The audience, though small, was
appreciative and critical.
Mrs. Hunters singing was highly ap-
preciated. She, her husband, and Albert
Gruninger came expressly from San
Francisco to take part in the concert,
and each was most cordially received
by those present. A novelty was
a ladies' trio, composed CT Mesdames Pink
ham, Carter and Wilbur Smith, and their
singing was a feature of the evening. The
following programme was presented, the
accompanies being Mrs. Pinkham, Miss
Gerrish and Miss +. Campbell:
Vocal trio, REST Thee Mrs. Addie
Carter, Mrs. c. E. Pinkham, Mrs. Wilbur
Smith; violin solo, "Grossmuterchen, u
VIM. Gwynn; vocal solo, Zone Morning,
Oh, So Early" Mrs. S. C. Hunter; reading,
MY Linen Duster," Mrs. James Seadler;
bass solo, "Auf Wiedersehen," Albert
Gruninger; ballad, yesterday" Mrs. S. G.
Addie Carter, Mrs. c. E. Pinkham, Mrs.
Wilbur Smith; baritone solo, THE Kings
Minstrel" S. G. Hunter; piano solo, The

Miss Gertie Gerrish; bass solo, Thy SEN
tinel Am l." Albert Gruninger; reading,
THE First Settlers Story" Miss Nettie
Naghel; vocal solo, Kerry Dance" Mrs.

After the concert the ladies entertained
those who had taken part in the pro-
grammeN with an elaborate menu of choice
refreshments.

After Twenty Years.

John Weisheimer, of this city, was a
soldier in the war of the rebellion, and
was wounded in the head the first day
of the battle of Gettysburg by the acci-
dental discharge of a shell while his
battery was in service. For many years he
has been trying to secure q pension, but al
ways failed because of his inability TO get
the necessary testimony, the parties who
knew of the accident having died or been
lost sight of. He always said, however,
that if he could see General Howard he
would be able to obtain the desired evil
dence, as that officer was aware of the facts
at the time, and would only need to have
them brought to his recollection. Last
Sunday, when the General was in Sacra-
mento, Weisheimer and other veterans
called upon him at the residence of Spar
row Smith, and the matter was brought to
the Generals attention. After a few r'ih-
utes' reflection the whole circumstances oc-
Cured to his mind. and he related them, in
substance, just as Weisheimer had always
claimed them to have been. The latter
was delighted to have at last obtained cor
roborative testimony, after twenty years of
waiting. He will now nave to go to San
Francisco for surgical examination, and if
that is satisfactory he will again forward
his papers to Washington, backed by the
certificate of General Howard, who is prob
ably the only living witness of the accident.

CapItol Notes.

Yesterday Governor Stoneman appointed
F. NJ. Warmcastle Judge of the Superior
Court of Contra Costa county, vice Thomas
A. Brown, resigned.
He also appointed E. W. Risley q Notary
Public, 10 reside at the town of Fresno.
Some time ago Governor Stoneman re-
prieved Fong All Sing, the San Francisco
Chinese murderer, for thirty days. He was
to have been hung on Friday, September,
18th, and the day of execution, in accord
ance with the reprieve, fell on Sunday,
October 18th. Here was a difficulty that
was not expected, and in order to obviate
q Sabbath hanging" the Governor yes
terday fixed November 18th. the second
Friday OF the month, as the day of execu-
ton, when the Celestial will expiate his
crime On the gallows. 1t is also stated that
the condemned mans attorneys have I'M
earthed some testimony since his sentence,
which points to his entire innocence and
may secure for him a new trial.
The Secretary of State is busily engaged
shipping ballot paper to all parts of the
State.
Colonel J. J. Ayers, State Printer, a
that no amount of money could induce
him to run that office for another four
years. He can stand all kinds of political
bulldozing, claims of party adherents, po-
litical assessments, ETC., but when it comes
to 400 female applicants per day for posi-
lions in the State bindery, backed by the
influence of their several hundred fathers,
and mothers, sisters, cousins and aunts, he
capitulates.

Abandoned Booty.

Yesterday morning Robert Allen found
in the vacant lot back of his residence at
Seventh and H streets a yalise containing
clothing, shirts, collars, ETC., and also a
number of letters addressed to VIM.
Madden, No. SIT Sixth street. Being a
candidate for Sheriff, he concluded that it
would be a good idea to do a little detective
work. as the time might possibly come
when he would need experience of that
character, so he determined to investigate,
especially as he did not nave far to go. He
found st the number mentioned that Mr..
Madden had been roomiDg there, but was
now out of town. A few days ago the
landlady placed the valise on the porch,
with other articles, while she cleaned the
room, and had not missed it until Mr..
Allen brought the subject to her attention.
The thief doubtless came along and appro-
priated the property while she was busy,
but, not finding any valuables that could
be pocketed, threw the valise into the yard
near by, where it was found.
