CENTRAL STREET RAILWAY.
Pioneers and Officials Given a FIR,

Pioneers and Officials Given a Free
Ride.
A number of the elegant new cars of the
Central Street Railway Company have
arrived, and were put upon the road YES
terday for the first time. They are much
finer than the other cars upon the same
line and attracted great deal of attention
as they passed along street. The prevail
iug colors of those which are to run on the
street line are olive green and yellow.
They are handsomely striped and deco
rated, and are supplied with electric bells
at each seat in order that the passenger
may signal the driver to stop without ris-
ing. The inscription on the panel along
the top OF the car reads: South Sacra-
menlo and Oak Park via street and SUIT
ter's Fort" The same inscription is painted
upon each dashboard. The seats are a lit
tie wider than on the other cars and are
very comfortable.

invitation of President l.. L. Lewis and the
Directors OF the company, party Of about
fifty ladies and gentlemen, including the
Pioneers, city and county officials, and
representatives. of the press, took cars az
the corner of Third and J streets and pro-
ceeded TO Oak Park. Here they were
treated to refreshments, while Jones, Fisch
d Watson's orchestra entertained them
with some excellent music. Returning to
street the party was taken over the new
line to Nineteenth street, the cars going
over that line for the first time Nothing
but favorable comment was heard in regard
to both cars and track, and Messrs. Lewis
and Alsip were given three hearty cheers
as the guests took the cars to return to tn q
city. The trip gave an opportunity to note
the improvement in the southeastern part
Of the city, and suggested to every mind

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing the theatrical-going public will be
favored with the opportunity to witness
one of the most finished of dramatic per-
formances, by an artist of high reputation.
certainly one of the most refined and con-
scientious representatives of the modern
stage, Miss Rose Coghlan. She is sup
ported by a very superior company of
people, new to this coast, and who are the
same that aided her in her recent long and
successful engagement at the Baldwin
Theater, San Francisco. Miss Coghlan is
one of the actresses of the day who COM
mands the respect and admiration of a
wide circle of cultivated people, and who
devotes to her art the most constant study.
1t is said of her, that there is no one who
speaks the English language with greater
correctness or gives 10 it more fully the
meaning and the thought of the words.
The play for to-night-and which involves
the use of much scenery and stage fittings,
that has been brought here specially for
the piece-is entitled "Jocelyn," and its
author is the brother of Miss Coghlan. 1t
is tragic in its interest, with yery few
CLEANS of humor but of intense dramatic
interest, and is surcharged with the trials,
the plottings, and the heroism of an age
that tried men and women to the utmost,
and developed the temper of their charac.

MRS. WALLIS STORY.

She Tells in the Police Court How Her
Husband Abused Her.
Considerable of the session of the Police
Court yesterday was taken up in the trial
of Antoine Wallis, charged with threats
against life. The complainant was his wife,
and her testimony Utmost respects was cor
roborated by that of her daughter, aged IA
years, Judge Buckley took the substance
of the testimony of each of the witnesses
in writing, and after the trial each signed
his or her name TO their statements. Mrs.
Wallis swore that she married her husband
who is Portuguese, in 1885. They reside
at Fifth and | streets. OF late her husband
bad been in the habit of abusing her in
many ways, and had said he would ''put a
bullet through her" and finish her with
mattock." He had endeavored to strike
her with heavy cane, and said he would
fix her by giving her a hot bed (meaning
that he would burn the house). The wit
Eess also testified that on July 31st last her
husband knocked her down, stepped on her
breast with one foot and poured barley into
her mouth. She has not fully recovered
from the effects of this treatment and at
times cannot retain food on her stomach.
Miss Wallis, who is only step daughter
to Wallis, testified to the abuse which she
and her mother had been subjected to. and
also to the fact that Wallis had chased them
from the house the other day. He always
carried a pistol.
When Wallis was sworn he testified that
his wife had made great deal more out Of
the matter than really occurred. He poured
the barley into her mouth because she had
thrown bucket Of dish-water on his new
clothes. He had told her that if she did
not give him deed to share of the prop
erty be would not support her any longer.
Judge Buckley took the matter under ai-
visement until to day.

SETTLED AT LAST.
The Judgment in the Horace Adams
Case Finally Affirmed.

The Judgment in the Horace Adams
Case Finally Affirmed.
There was filed in the office of J. S.
Williams, Deputy Clerk of the Supreme
Court for the Sacramento District, the de-
cision in the Lambard-Adams case. This
action was commenced by Horace Adams,
plaintiffs testator, ON September 2, 1880,
for an accounting and to compel the de-
fendant to convey to him an undivided
one-third interest in the Mount Pleasant
Mine, near Grizzly Flat, FL Dorado county.
When the plaintiff learned from the
answer to his complaint that the defendant
had conveyed the property to innocent
purchasers, and that a specific performance
of the contract to reconvey was impossible,
he flied an amended complaint, alleging
the value of the mine, and praying that if
1t should appear from the evidence that a
specific performance could not be enforced,
a judgment be entered against the defend
ant for the value of the property. The Su-
preme Court atfirms the judgment of The
lower Court, Judge Thornton and Chief
Justice Beatty dissenting.

little children. 1t is called BABY Land, !"
and is supplied with rocking horses, swings,
rowing tricycles, etc. Nobody is
TO be allowed to invade this babyworld ex-
cept mothers or attendants upon the little
ones.
Another attraction for the youngsters is
circular tank of zinc, or rather tier of
tanks, in which miniature steamers, pro-
PEELED by machinery, will race. The upper
circle will be surmounted bya tiny railroad
track, around which train of cars will be
drawn by six-inch steam locomotive.
There will be probably seventy-five diff
ferent table games in all, open to visitors,
under certain restrictions. Seven phono-
graphs will be exhibited, affording the pub
lie an opportunity to study the wonders of
this great modern invention.
Seats for about 600 persons have been
erected in semi-circular form on the west
side of the grounds, from which view
can be had of the entire scene. The am
phitheater will be lighted by electricity
and not until seen under this brilliant
light will its full beauty be realized.
Some night during the fair will be set
apart for the competitive drill by the mill
tary companies, for which ample space can
readily be provided.
All the appliances for games are made in
IHc llOSI dllu as uCu
care and skill has been employed in their
construction as if they were intended for
first class gymnasium. These things Messrs.
Weinstock, Lubin & Co. purpose rendering
to the city, or some local organization that
will care for the same and maintain pub
lie playground. Such a generous offer as
this should certainly command considera-
ton at the hands of the city authorities or
local clubs.
The central thought of all this marvel
Gus display is this, that it is demonstration
of the need for amusement and entertain
ment combined at great fairs, and that this
is the first real, rational and comprehen-
sive meeting of that demand. So, too, it
impresses every visitor with this truth,
that nothing like it has ever been seen, and
that it is worth trip from the most distant
part of the State to see it. And again, it
impresses the visitor with the truth that it
is the duty of the people of city where an
exposition is held to undertake and carry
out these features that appeal to the fancy,
the imagination, the love of the beautiful
and the taste for wholesome amusement.
In this instance it is proved beyond cavil
that Sacramento enterprise has met and
discharged this duty in a manner that
ought to command attention from all the
State.

Took 1t Up,

When the Central Street Railway con-
structed their track on Nineteenth street, un-
der the franchise authorizing them to build
to street, they ran the end of their track a
few feet beyond the crossing, and would
have had the right, according to the con-
sIuction heretofore put upon such fran
chises, to have run to the center of G street.
Street Commissioner Mclaughlin, however,
objected to the track going upon street
at all, and, to avoid any controversy, the
company has had that portion of its track
taken up. OF course this will be an injury
to the company's business, as the cars can
not be seen from the Park entrance, but the
line is so popular that the people will find
its cars
