FavOrite Sport Of the HOOsiers.

A fox drive took place in Charles
town township, Indiana, the other day.
This is rather novel sport, and is
gaining considerable popularity among
the country people OF Indiana. About
$50 took part on this occasion. The
territory chosen was a level expaLse of
about three miles square. The men
were stationed in lines at the four
points. Each line was commanded by
a gentleman familiar with the SPORT
At previously agreed upon time the
various lines commenced moving to-
ward the center. As they drew closer
together, the lines became more COM
pact, until finally hare could not
have escaped. The men, in the mean-
time, kept up a ceaseless din with horns
drums, tin pans and bells to drive the
foxes from their holes.
Finally the foxes, five III number,
were driven out in plain sight in an
open field with not an avenue open for
escape. The lines then closed up un-
til they were about fifty yards apart
Then two men were sent out to chase
the foxes and capture them. AS soon
as a man became tired another would
take his place, and 1t was continued In
this manner until the foxes We're worn
out, captured and killed. The trophies
were put up at auction and sold to the
highest bidder. One of them brought
$5, and was purchased by a farmer. A
popularity about these drives is the
fact that no person is allowed any
weapons, not even club. The people
from all over the upper end OF the
county took part and greatly enjoyed

Lake County Railroad.

The Woodland Mail publishes the fol-
lowing letter from Il. X. Nichols of San
Francisco, concerning the projected rail
road in Lake county from Woodland. 1t
was addressed to d. NJ. Hanson, of Lower
Lake:
DEAR SIR l have made several preliminary
surveys, looking towards getting feasible rail-
road route into Lake county. and found only
one good natural route. The one by way of
From Madison, the present railrord terminus
to the head of the Capay valley at Rumsey's.
the route is through II fine, fertile valley that
may yet rival Naps valley for productiveness
From Rumsey's to the Lake, the railroad would
skirt along Cache creek with easy grade no ex-
tremely heavy cuts, probably three bridges of
any size, and one short tunnel. The distance is
about nineteen miles, and, after having ex-
amined most of the other routes, / have no
hesitancy in pronouncing this the best and
most feasible. Such line of road would ac-
commodate nearly all of Yo'o county carry
the freight of the Knoxville, Manhattan Reed
and Sulphur Creek mines, the Sulphur, Wilbur,
Allen and Bartlett Springs trade, open up a
large district of country especially adapted to
the raising of fruit and vines, and would reach
the Lake at a point where the projectors could
select for themselves, the way by which they
would pass through the county, either by the
north or south side of the Lake, and reach the
redwcods beyond.
/ hope this road will be constructed. Our
large and increasing fruit. vine, wool and grain
interest demand it,and it cannot fail to pay well
from the inception. The grades by all other
routes are so excessive that to my mind, they
are not to be considered in comparison with the
Cache creek route. Yours truly,
r. K NICHOLS

Not a Quiet Child.

Among the passengers from the East
yesterday morning was a German lady.
VINO could not speak English and her two
children-a boy about years old and a
younger sister. Directly after the train
arrived railroad official entered the car in
which the lady was, to give information as
10 departure of trains, when, as he opened
the door something passed between his
legs with rush, as sometimes a dog will
leave . room in which he has been con-
lined against his will. The officer, who
was nearly upset, grasped at and caught
the lying something" and found ii to be
the lady's little boy. He made a remark
good humoredly, about the child being
restless, when one of the passengers re.
marked Oh, that was nothing for him.
why when we we're coming through Ne
praska, with the tram running thirty miles
an hour, he jumped out of the car window.
The train was stopped an backed up,
every ody expecting to find only CORPSE
OF boy badly hurt at least, but when we
got to him he was sitting by the roadside
playing jaekstones with the gravell"

The Tietiens Testimonial Conoert

The testimonial concert given Miss Mary
Tietjens was a substantial and notable tes-
hmonial last night 1t was one of the
largest concert audiences seen in this city
in many years. 1t was a congregation of
people Of taste and good-music judgment,
Predetermined to be pleased, and sincere
in giving to Sacramento-bo born vocalist of
much promise a generous send off" for
her departure East, to enter upon the ardu-
Gus task of culuvating natural vocal ability
and of determining whether she deserves
to have the mantle of the great singer Tiet-
jens, her paternal aunt, to fall upon her
shoulders. The programme was varied
and of the popular order. All its numbers
cannot by reason OF the eXlgencies of
space, be dwelt upon. Miss Tietiens APP
peared to good advantage and sang
with confidence, sweetly, and in a
manner to give great encouragement
TO the confident expectations of her many
friends. 1t would not be just to now en-
gage in any analysis of the lady's musical
style or capacity. She is young, Just upon
the threshold of womanhood, and stepping
upon the great boundless plane of an art
upon which have moved some of the great
est geniuses of the earth. We do not pro-
pose to attempt to forecast any of the posi-
bilities before her. Successes in music are
few, and failures nunberless. In the case
of young, ambitious and naturally gifted
vocalists, like Miss Tietjens, criticism and
the public can afford to wait, and do Justice
by waiting. The applause the.young lady
received last night, the very large audience,
the capacity of the audience TO Judge and
its warm manifestations of approval, are
the best evidences she can carry away with
her Of home commentator, though her
friends must realize that these will count
for nothing in the severe schools of music
training. Miss TieGens sang 4" II Bacio,"
and better the soprano part in the duet
with Mrs. Carter, her teacher, " Hear Me,
Norma" and for encores sang " Loving
Eyes, and with Mrs. Carter "Oh What JOY"
The double quartet of the Turner Har-
monte, under the direction of Professor
Fleissner, sang twice, and, though Grip
pied by the illness of first tenor, did re-
markably well, testifying to great improve
ment Mr.. Auerbach sang with good eff
feet the bass solo, Roll, Mighty Ocean =
Miss French skillfully played a difficult
piano solo; the male quartet-M essrs.
Graham, Sanborn and Auerbach-sang
The North Wind, difficult and we'll
rendered selection; Mrs. Carter sang, very
effectively, Erwartung," with flute obi
cato by Mr.. Neale, artistically played. She
was recalled. Mrs. Piercy Ross sang g Good
By" excellently, and was recalled. Fred
We'll gave charming clarionet solo, and a
double quintet, composed of Mesdames
Dewitt Smith, Renfro, Wilbur Smith and
Carter, and Misses French, Sanborn and

born gave with taste and expression, Mo-
zarts Silently Blending" The accom-
panists were Mrs. c. A. Neale. Mrs. r. II.

Henry Highton, one of the attorneys on

on hand then. The motion for continu-
ance was overruled, and at o'clock the
impaneling of a jury was entered upon. A
venire of 100 trial jurors had been sum-
moned, but, though they were drawn from
various portions of the county, the II that
had been examined when the Court ad-
journed for the day had all formed fixed
opinions concerning the case, and were
not accepted. 1t is not believed probable
that a jury will be obtained from the pres
ent panel and. with the delay in sum-
moning another, the taking of testimony
will scarcely be commenced before Mon
day. About 60 witnesses have been sub
penaed, and the trial is expected to last
about three weeks.
