Mrs. Sinclair Still Refuses to Testify
Against Her Lord and Master.
The session of the Police Court was held
yesterday in the old Wells, Fargo & Co.
building, on Second street. between ] and
K. All of the furniture had been removed
from the old Courtroom, and il is probable
that the new quarters will be occupied for
several weeks.
John Williams pleaded guilty to being
drunk, and was sentenced to pay fine of
50, IN default to serve term of five days in
the City Prison.
In the petit larceny case against Jose
phine Macabo and George Nichols the
prosecuting witness failed to put in an ap-
pearance, and the City Attorney asked that
an attachment be issued for his arrest and
that the case go over till to-day. The de-
tense made no objection, and the trial was
continued in the meantime the defendants
being released on their own recognizance.
The case of John Sinclair, charged with
battery upon his wife, was continued until
next Monday morning. The City Attor-
ney stated that the officers had made dill
gent search for Mrs. Sinclair and her son,
but were unable to find them, they evil
IDENTIFY being determined to elude the off,
GERS. The defendant stated that he had
advised his wife to come to Court, but she
positively refused to do so, and it was not
his fault that she did not attend. The
police, however, will endeavor to have
both the wife and son present. so that the
trial may go on.
A. Giles, one of the bondsmen of Mr.
Sinclair, asked the Court that an order be
made releasing him from the bond, as he
wished to attend tOsOme work in the CONN.,
try. An order was so made, and Mr. Sim
clair was delivered into the custody of the
police until he should furnish another

Horrible State of Affairs.

The following Item" was handed in last
evening by member of the "Horribles. -"
OF course it is based on a misconception of
facts, as the General Committee has not at
tempted to dictate" in the matter of the
parade, and has not insulted the "Horri-
bles" at all, but on the contrary, politely
and courteously requested them to change
the hour of their parade. But here is the
item itself:
There was special meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the "Horribles" this
evening at which they DISGUST and de-
nounced in bitter terms the audasity of the
General Committee of the Fourth of July
Celebration in attempting to suggest or die
tate the hour of starting the Horrible"
parade. AS the Horrible" Committee
called on the General Committee some
weeks ago to ask for assistance in earring
out and insuring successful Horrible Pa
rade" they were insulted and laughed at,
hence the dissension. The parade will
start as heretofore"

THE SACRAMENTO PREsBYTERY.

1t Expresses Its Appreciation of the La
bors of Rev. George X. Bird.
The Presbytery of Sacramento met yes.
terday at the Fourteenth Street Presbv-
terrain Church to consider the resignation
of the Rev. George Bird as pastor of that
church. Felix Tracy and William In
gram, Jr., appeared as Commissioners on
behalf of the church, and presented reso-
lutions expressive of the high esteem in
which Mr.. Bird is held by his congrega-
ton. The resolutions stated that:
The resignation of Mr.. Bird was deeply
deplored by the church; that during the
past akT years he has gone in and out be-
fore usNas consistent, consecrated Christ
ian; as a man like Enoch, one who walked
with God; as a pastor, like St. Paul; for
verify he has known nothing among us
save Jesus Christ and Him crucited;' that
we tender to him, as members of the flock
which, as an under-shepherd. he has so
faithfully led and fed, our thanks, our love
and our prayers that God be with him
| land his family to bless and prosper him
as he goes elsewhere to some most fortu-
nate charge
The Presbytery considered the resolu-
| tons, heard both Mr. Bird and the Com
missioners, and after deliberaiion resolved
with much regret to accept the resignation
and dissolve the pastoral relation. Ex-
pressing the views of the Presbytery, the
| following resolution was unanimously
passed:
ION accepting the resignation of the
Rev. George r. Bird, the Presbytery de-
sires TO put on record its high appreciation
of the faithfulness and alb lily with which
Bro. Bird has discharged every duty natur-
ally incumbent upon q minister of the
Gospel. Bro. Bird retires from the field
with not only the respect and devoted
affection of the church and congregation,
but with the honor and esteem of the en-
| tire community. The Presbytery greatly
| regrets the necessity of the dissolution of
tie that has been to its entire member
ship one of confidence and love, and gladly
bears testimony to the utmost faithfulness
on Bro. Birds part 10 the cheerful dis
charge of every duty as a fellow presbyter
and co-laborer in the Gospel, and sends
with him to any field of labor TO which the
Master may direct him, its ardent prayers
for his prosperity and success"
Mr.. Bird leaves his present charge to
seek some relaxation and change of eli
mate, which seems to be necessary under
the present condition of his health.

AT Turner Hall last night Sherman's
"Phantasma" was given under auspices of
the ladies of st. Paul's Church. There was
a good attendance. A very large number
of handsome young ladies of Sacramento
took the poses in the "Phantasma"
and made lovely pictures. The stat
tusry and grouping effects were especi-
ally fine. The dissolving effects were
mystery to the major portion of the audi
ence, and most of them were very beauti-
full. The "dissolving" or fading of living
picture into background of sea, or ever
green, or blank wall; or from or on 10 a
pedestal; the fading of one figure into the
developing lines of another. and the posing
OF figures so that one vanishes out OF the
arms of another; were puzzles to all and
exceedingly beautiful illusions A detach-
ment from the First Artillery Regiment
also took part in some fine Pbantasma eff
fects. Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. Carter Miss
Noyce, Mr.. Cohn and Mr.. Hageman, and a
group of lads, furnished the vocal music of
the evening. The hall is tastefully dressed
with flowers and plants. Tonight there
will be change of programme and new
pictures shown. The entertainment is a
chaste and charmiDgly beautiful one and
worthy of visitation.
