To-Night's Concert.

The promise for pleasing musical enter
tainmeLt at the concert at the Congrega-
tional Church tonight is excellent. Pro-
fessor Lennep is admitted to be the finest
either player in America. He reveals the
instrument as OF greater capacity and rich
ness and delicacy than any player who has
visited the coast. Professor Ollert is an
accomplished pianist, and was late lead
ing society musical director in Brooklyn
Mr.. Bennigson, of San Francisco, is q
tenor who makes his first appearance here
tonight. There is to be, as special feat
ure, vocal octet, Woodlands Rever-
ence," from Alet translation by Professor
Lipowitz), and sung by Mrs. Bainbridge
and Mrs. Bidwell, Mrs. Carter and Miss
Nellie Sheehan Cher first appearauce), Mr.

| aided citizens Of Sacramento at public en-
tci ldlillleulS--dS at tne reception OF the
horticulturists and the banquet to the Gov
ernor, for instance-and on each occasion
won unqualified approval. Their public
spirit suggests that they should have a
large audience tonight on the occasion of
their first concert, especially as the pro-
gramme is exceedingly varied and novel
and embraces at least five persons who have
never before appeared upon the concert
platform in Sacramento. 1t is announced

FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
They Decide to Commence a Mandamus
Sujt at Once.

Iney Dec1Qe 10 commence GSnuamus
Suit at Once.
At noon yesterday the Board of Fire
Commissioners met in special session. All
the members present.
Mr. Griffitts, President Of the Board
stated the object OF the meeting was to
take steps to Immediately commence suit
against the Board of City Trustees to COM
pei the latter TO make the tax levy suffi.
GENTLY large to raise funds enough to run
the department for one year.
Commissioners We'll and Griffitts defined
their position, using the same arguments
advanced in their communication which
appeared in the RECORD Union OF yester-
day.
Mr.. Griffitts. who is an ex-County Assoc
sor, said !: There is one thing that stands
in the way of the prosperity of Sacramento
and that is her high rate of taxation. The
levy this year is two cents, and that is made
quate to meet the demands of the city
The fault does not lie with the city, but
with those IN charge of the local govern
ment, A tax levy Of two cents staggers
the individual who comes here IL
high rate OF taxation, his mind is immedi-
ately made up, and he gives Sacramento
the 90 by. And why not? Other cities oil
less importance have q much less rate oil
taxation, and offers TO the capitalists, OF
the man who wishes to embark In legiti-
mate business enterprises better induce
ments. Why is our rate so excessive, and
can it be remedied? is question that does
and should interest every business man
and every citizen IN this city who has an
interest in our future prosperity In the
first place our tax-roll should be increased
to $4,000 GOO. Last week block in the
eastern portion of the city changed hands
for s.. 800 cash. The property is assessed
for $3.50. While much of the property in
the city is assessed high enough, large
majority of it is assessed at figure entirely
too low, and which necessitates an in
creased tax rate. What this city needs,
what its future prosperity demands and
what alone will reduce its levy to one cent
or less is high license. This we should
have, and then Sacramentos future is as
sured''
After considerable discussion, Mr.. We'll
moved that the President of the Board be
authorized to employ counsel to bring a
suit of mandamus against the Trustees, to
compel them to allow the amount asked
by the Commissioners.
The motion was seconded by Mr.. Grifiitts
and passed by the following vote: Ayes
Griffitts and Well Noes-Slater-l
III. O'Meara filed the decision of Judge
Armstrong in the case of " the people in re
M. O'Meara VS.. Cornelius Sullivan" which
declares 0'Meara to be Chief of the depart
ment. Mr.. O'Meara stated that he was
ready to enter upon the duties of the office,
and requested the keys and other property
belonging to his department. His request
was complied with.
Con. Sullivan still retains the position OF
Superintendent of the Fire Alarm.

Last evening about o'clock, a horse at
tached to sulky which had lost one
wheel, dashed down Seventh street from ].
At the Capital Hotel corner he took the
sidewalk, and continued at a break-neck
speed. When Senator Cox, who was stand

to G. H. Wall and wife, who were walking
down Seventh toward L, to "look OUT

brushed against their clothing as the excited
animal went by at gait that would beat
the record. In front of the Monongahela
House he gathered in an awning-p post and
left the remaining wheel. In front of Mr..
Clinch's residence he demolished lamp
post, a few steps further he toppled over a
city fire-plug, when he again took to the

Mr.. Wall and his wife consider themselves
lucky in escaping SO fortunately.

Setting EN- I'm.

A rumor, with strong ear-marks of au-
thenticity, was current last evening that
the down town politicians who usually
carry the Republican nominations and
offices in their breeches pockets, have con-
cluded that there shall be no Republican
primary this spring. The explanation is
that the organized opposition in the Third
and Fourth Wards is such as to almost in
sure defeat of the old-time political ma
chine. It is proposed to break this BY ap-
pointing the delegates to the Convention
and thus let the rank and file of the party
have nothing to say in the matter
1t is argued that majority of the City
Central Committee can be relied upon to
do dirty work, but that the party as a
whole, or by majority, cannot. If an
attempt is made to appoint the delegates
instead of electing them, it is safe to say
that all the tall fighting will not be con-
fined to the factions in the Democratic
party. for the Republicans of the Third
and Fourth Wards are pluming themselves
to have their rights in this particular year OF

make speech. The whole affair will wind
up with grand ball.
The Newcastle Ncics says: " At the Di-
rectors' meeting the other day, John Boggs
referred to the fact that the Administration
could not find Democrat in the Chicago
colony to appoint to the office of Post
master. Mr.. Maslin, of Sacramento, re-
joined that he wouldn't give continental

laughed, but we don't know whether the
joke was on the Chicago man, the Demo

LOCAL TNTELLIGgNCE.
CONTRACT AWARDED,

Description of the Design Selected for the
Marshall Monument.
The Marshall Monument Commissioners
met last evening, President Caminetti in
the chair, all the members present. The
object OF the meeting was to select a plan
from the ten submitted. After examining
each one carefully and hearing the explain
atoms and suggestions from the various
sculptors, architects and marble-workers
present, the Board went into executive
session.
On motion of Commissioner Hofmeister
the design submitted by f. Marion Wells
of San Francisco, was unanimously
adopted. 1t will stand SO feet 8 inches in
hight. The monument itself will be 30
feet high, of colossal proportions, the CAP
being 3 feet square, on top of which is a
portrait statue Of Marshall 8 feet inches
in hight. The plaster of Paris model of the
statue on file represents the " Discoverer of
gold dressed in the garb of the frontiers
man of Forty years ago. His pants rolled
up to the boot-tops. soft felt hat. pistol at
his side, his arms barred to the elbow.
In the open palm of his hand rests mug
get of gold, the first taken from the mill.
race at COlOma. His right hand index fin
ger extended poin's to the river below, to
the very spot where the memorable dis
covery was made. To give some idea of
the size of the monument it can be stated
that one block of granite will weigh four
teen tons, and the statue itself will weigh
between five and six tons. The monument
will rest on the grave of Marshall, on the
apex of Marshall Hill, which is elevated
above the main street of the town of Co
Iona some 800 feet, and is half mile dis
tant. 1t is slightly point, and for this rea-
son was selected by Marshall for his last
resting place. 1t can be seen from every
point in the valley, and no one can ever
pass through that most beautiful mountain
vale without seeing this monumental pile
The Commission had two objects in view
size and symmetry of form-both Of which
are attained in the designed adopted. Made
OF native granite, it will stand for ages, and
through all time will be an honor to the
State, as well as serving TO perpetuate the
name and history of the man who made
the discovery that at once populated the
Pacific coast, and within three short years
carved from the wilderness of the West a
State that now is, and through all time
must be, the brightest star in the Confeder-
alton.
The necessary papers will be drawn up
within few days, the contract awarded
and the monument completed within the
next ten months.
