Turner nan Opera House.

ID. j. Postel ss manager and D. J. Sim
mons as acting manager, have christened
Turner Hall Turner Hall Opera House"
and will open it as such Saturday evening
with minstrel troupe. The hall has been
thoroughly reftted, newly frescoed and
very handsomely, the stage enlarged and
fitted with the necessary scenery, the seats
reupholstered and adapted to the new use
and the hall has generally taken on a new
and very pleasing and comfortable appear
ance. 1t is roomy structure, admirably
ventilated, centrally located, has a very
high ceiling. good retiring rooms, and is
well adapted to the purposes for which it
is to be used by the managers named. Mr..
Postel is a Well-known business citizen,
and Mr. Simmons is a manager of many
years experience, having played in Sacra-
mento some of the best troupes ever
brought here, and under circumstances
that might have appalled, one less persever-
ing. The promise of the management for
Saturday night is Lew Johnson's Black
Baby Boy Minstrel Troupe, which will ap-
pear for one week. The company is an
nounced as having played three weeks in
San Francisco to packed houses.
Expressions of Eastern papers concern
ing the company are at hand, from which
we make these extracts The st. Louis
Globe Democrat said: Lew Johnson's
colored company appeared at the opera
house last night in one of their concert
performances and entertained the audience
in pleasing and satisfactory way. They
caused considerable merriment and were
frequently applauded. They are sure to
please all who may attend"
The Denver Rocky Mountain NelCs said
The last performance of Lew Johnson's
| Black Baby Boy Minstrels occurs tonight
| at Music Hall. This combination has
| drawn crowded houses during the week
and given universal satisfaction. The sing
ing is excellent and the specialties very
laughable.'
The Cheyenne Leader says: Large crowds
greeted the Lew johnson Black Baby Boy
Companys entertainment at the opera
house. The artists are all first-class and
their mirth- provoking comicalities excited
rounds Of applause"
Promise of especial superiority in the
male quartet of the troupe is made.
The managers fix but one price
for sittings, so cents, and say that there
shall be no turned up seats and that no
extra charge will be made to reserve seats

The Postofioe Ruildinr-

When Congress passed the bill appro-
priating money for the erection of a Federal
building il this city, most everyone said
it would be years before the same would be
constructed, owing to the great amount of
red-tape transactions that would be neces
sary, and all of which took time. So far,
the opposite has been true. The plans and
specifications have been made, approved
and adopted, and those in authority at
Washington say that work upon the build
ing will be commenced Immediately. Yes
terday Postmaster Stephens received a
telegram from the Department at Wash
ington, saying that Engineer Bassett's bid
for doing the surveying had been accepted
and ordering that individual to at once
make the necessary surveys and forward
the same by the first mail possible. They
ask many questions relative to the cost of
brick, the Dearness and quality of the
stone quarries, the pressure of the city
water system, etc. They also request two
photographs of the lot, which will be taken
this morning

Another Bond Case,

The case of Julius Hausmeister VS.. W.
E. Gerber, Treasurer of the city of Sacra-
mento, instituted in San Francisco, has
been transferred to this county by order of
Court. The petitioner recites that the
Mayor and Common Council of the city of
Sacramento, between the year 1851 and the
10th day of April, 1858, became indebted to
divers persons in sums of money amount
ing IN the aggregate to more than 81, 400
600, for the greater portion of which in
debtedness bonds were issued, bearing in

provisions of an Act of the Legislature
passed April "a, 185S-which Act organized
as municipal corporation all the territory
known as the city of Sacramento and the
territory known as the county of Sacra-
mento-the Treasurer of the said city and

against the city, bonds for sums of money
amounting in the aggregate to the sum of

were made payable to bearer and had
annual interest coupons attached, at the
rate of six per cent. per annum. said inter-

January of each year.
The plaintiff then gives the numbers

and believes that there is now in the sink

terest coupons, the sum of $4,000 That
said coupons have been presented to w.

a Promislng section.


A correspondent, writing from the south

to call your attention to the southern part
of Sacramento county bounded by the
Costumes, Mokelumne and Sacramento
rivers, and especially the section some
times known as the Bradford neighbor-
hood. Bradford Brothers commenced
where they now live experimenting in
grape growing without irrigation, increas

under the shade of the Capitol, and un-
known to her citizens. We have here ten
citizens owning from 600 to 1000 acres
each that will grow the vine, olive. fig.
almond, peach, apricot and other fruit
without irrigation. My motive in writing
is to have you interest capital in buying
these large tracts, cut them up in forty and
eighty-acre tracts, and induce Eastern peo-
pie to make their homes here, increasing
our population and wealth. Fifteen years
ago this portion of the county was by its
settlers almost considered worthless, ex-
cept for grazing. We discovered it was
valuable for raising wheat, and we have
never known a total failure. Now it is
demonstrated to be a fruit belt equal TO
any portion Of the State. Yes, the orange,

Ten Jurymen Selected So Far-Another
yenire Issued.
The RECORD UNIONS special representa-
TIVE telegraphed from Placerville last even
ing as follows:
The whole of to-day was consumed in
the effort to get a jury in the case of The
People against Myers, Olsen and Drager
for the murder Of John Lowell. The orig
inal venire Of fifty jurors was exhausted in
the forenoon. A special venire of twenty
more was taken up at P. NJ. and exhausted.
Ten jurors have BEEN accepted so tar, as
follows: J. A. Wolf, Michael Martin,
Jacob W. Behn, Conrad F. Buff. J. w.
Rehlfng, J. w. Roelke, Thomas Ralph,
Emil Larson, ]. II. Maynard and Louis
Rsiber, Jr. Almost every juror called
stated that he had read the re-
ports in the RECORD UNION containing
the statements Of the defendants made at
different times and had formed and ex-
pressed opinions as 10 their guilt or inno-
cence. What they had read they believed
to be correct statements, and it would take
sworn testimony to change their opinion.
They placed more reliance upon such re-
ports than they did on the political express
sions of papers. This made it difficult to
secure jurors. Ont of the whole number
examined only one said that he was op-
posed to capital punishment, and he was
excused. A venire has issued for ten more
jurors for 10 o'clock tomorrow, and for six
more at u o'clock, ont of which it is hoped
70 secure the other two jurors.

The foremen of the different companies,
Charles Fisk, Superintendent of the Fire
Alarm system; the Chief and Assistant
Engineers. several members of the depart

Mr.. Fisk stated that he was getting along
rapidly in constructing the new fire-alarm
system, and says all the imperfections COM
planned of in the present system will be
! corrected in the new. The streets and al
leys of this city are a perfect network of
wires on poles, while insulators are on
nearly every house-top. and it is a wonder
that there is not more interference with
the tie-alarm system than there is.
The department needs many things to
! make it more efficient, new hose-cart and
a lot of new hose must be obtained at once

Last night the sheds were on fire in several
places. and this morning they caught fire
in different places, but l am glad to say
that the fire was extinguished before it did
| much harm. However, we are by no
means yet out of the woods. We have
three fire trains and about two hundred
men fighting the fire. Pretty nigh all our
telegraph poles are burned down, and as far
as | know there is only one mountain
division which has any poles left. The
trains, of course, have been delayed on &C.
count of the fire, as the fire trains have
held possession of the track. To-day's

DANGEROUS TRAMps.
Not Only the City, But the Woods Are
Full of them

Full of them.
Reports come from every town in the
State, from San Diego to Slssons, that they
are overrun with tramps. Sacramento,
being commercial center, gets large
number, who come in on the brake-beams
of almost every train that reaches this city
On K street, from Front to Fourth, they
seem 10 congregate. and the dives on that
street from Third to Fourth seem to be
their particular rendezvous. They are OF
all ages, from Is years to 60, and of nearly
every race and nationality. If the police
wish to find them they can +" pull them u
by the score in front of those dives be-
tween the hours of 10 o'clock at night and
o'clock next morning. They are hard.

! tough place, SO far as this undesirable
and dangerous element is concerned
Some months ago the proprietor of 8
restaurant on K street, in the City
Hotel who was known to have considerable
money suddenly disappeared, and it is gen.
dered. Some days ago the RECORD UNION
published an account of young man who
rented a store-room in the Clunie building
paid six months rent in advance and sud.
denly disappeared. 1t was known that he
was the possessor of several hundred dol
lars in cash, and it is believed also that he
was murdered.
An old Mexican was robbed on Front
street some days ago and so severely
beaten that he died from its effects. The
police have been active in working up the
cases, and the culprits will no doubt be
caught. Some people are unnecessarily
alarmed because Chief Lee does not bulle-
tin all of his knowledge in the cases, give
TO the world all of his suspicious, and en-
able the guilty to escape. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the best detectives and
most competent officials are those who
work quietly and silently. They lay their
hands upon the guilty parties when the
latter are consoling themselves with the
belief that their crimes are entirely COW
cred up and that the officials have given up
the chase.
Lately the tramps have been making
raids into the country, and the farmers
complain of their foTaging expeditions.
The forest fires that have done 30 much
damage during the past ten days or two
weeks in Ell Dorado and Placer counties
are attributed to tramps. A dispatch from
Emigrant Gap last night says: Two young
hooalums, uamps, d. L. Rose, aged Is,
who claims residence at Siskiyou, and J.
W. Tulley, colored boy aged IS, who
claims a residence at Los Angeles. were
tried before Judge Leslie and jury to-day
on a charge of setting fire to the woods.
They were acquitted. They are hard cases.
