ADJUSTMENTS,

1t is enough to say, so far as "Cor-
delia's Aspirations" concern the acting of
Mr.. Harrigan, that the piece is unworthy of
the art manifest in "Old Lavender" The
contrast between the two is so strong that
it is sarcely possible to believe that the
two pieces came from the same pen. Ger
tainly Harrigan does himself but little
credit by appearing in the farce after
having achieved so much in the comedy.
But Hattie Moore made "Cordelia's Aspira-
tions" tolerable. Her personation of the
ambitious woman was admirable. When
it came to the drunken scene, her mimicry
was so vivid and close to nature as to
justify the belief that she has made deep
study of the effect Of brandy upon some un-
happy victim. 1t is to be regretted that
the piece coffined the viyacious soubreite,
Fanny Bowman. She had literally no
part, though capable of some excellent
work. Mr.. Harrigan can strengthen his
play by writing a part into it for her and
then trust to Hattie Moore and Fanny
Bowman to rescue it from absolutely fatal
weakness.

WILSON'S ACCOUNTS.

Report of Expert Lyon on the Ex-Super-
intendent's Cemetery Books.
4 couple of weeks ago the City Trustees
employed William NJ. Lyon to re-expert
the accounts of ex-Cemetery Superintend-
ent Arthur j. Wilson, as the correctness of
expert Clarken's report had been called in
question. Mr.. Lyon has completed his
work and makes the following report:
To The Honorable Board Of Trustees, Sacramento
City: hereby submit my report on the accounts
of A. J. Wilson, late Superintendent of the City
Cemetery, as per schedule herewith
The deficit occurs from the fact that permits
were given to the various undertakers for 81
only, that should have been charged 81 or S.
each as the price of the grave in the absence of
lot, and may be explained.
ma the null amounts for sales of lots have
been paid in to the City Treasurer, the final set
tlement being made by the payment of Si72 25
by him to K w. Parker, present Superintend-
ent.
The exhumation fees have all be paid as col
lected, also vault dues. These constitute all
items of revenue due the city as far as have
any knowledge. Respectfully submitted,
VIM. NJ. LYON.
Sacramento, August %, 1889.
The expert also submits schedule show
ing that in the matter of permits there are
some inaccuracies, from which he makes
out balance in favor of the city of $50.

things can continue for any length of time
without the police falling upon some clue
that should lead to The detection of the
guilty parties if the proper energy were
displayed. 1t is well. known fact that
thieves and rough characters are being
driven out OF other towns, and have been

berries and burglaries are becoming alarm
ingly frequent, and by the time some good
citizen loses his life the public may become
aroused to the seriousness of the situation.
From now until after the close of the
State Fair it may reasonably be expected
that the burglar and footpad boom will as
sumo greater proportions, and people must

BREAKING THE RECORD.
The Burglar Brigade Getting in Its Wo
in Good

The Burglar Brigade Getting in Its Work
in Good Fashion.
At an early hour yesterday morning l.
Mattice, who keeps produce stand on the
south side of ] street, near the corner of
Twelfth, had a visit from and q lively
tussle with a burglar. He occupies a small
room in the rear of his store, and was
awakened by noise over the head of his
bed. There is narrow shelf there, where
he has been in the habit of placing his
money on retiring, but fortunately he had
that night put it in another place. As
soon as he awoke he realized that some
body was rumaging about the shelf for his
money. He wheeled about in bed and
made grab in the dark, catching the in
truder by the arm. The latter started for
the door in the rear, and lively scramble
ensued, Mattice endeavoring to hold his
prisoner.
In the scuffle chair was broken and a
table thrown from its place, Mattice receiy-
in5 scratch in the groin, which at first he
thought had been made by weapon in
the hands of the burglar, but was probably
the result of his having come in collision
with the sharp corner of the table.
The burglar finally got away from Mat
tice, who is a cripple, descended a narrow
stairway to the rear yard and escaped into
the alley by crawling through hole in the
fence, which he had made in order to get
in. On making an inspection of the prem
ises in daylight, Mattice found a new bit
and an old brace, which the fellow had
dropped in his flight. When Mattice
grabbed hold of the burglar he commenced
to cry Murder and man who was pass
ing at the time fastened to the State House
Hotel and informed officers Cunningham
and Shook of the affair. They hastened 10
the spot, but were of course too late to
make the acquaintance of the thief.
Whoever the thief was he was certainly
familiar with the premises, as no stranger
could have readily found his way through
the narrow passageway to the room occu-
pied by Msttice.

The Body of a Genteel-Looking Strange
Found in the River.

The Body of GenteeI-Looking Stranger
Found in the River.
A few mornings ago the RECORD, UNION
mentioned the fact of an unknown man
having been seen to leap or fall into the
river on the preceding night. Nothing
could be learned TO throw any light on the
mystery, but it has been partly revealed by
the finding of the body about mile below
the city. Word to that effect wss sent to
Coroner Clark yesterday, and the remains
were taken to the Morgue. There was
nothing about the clothing of the deceased
to give clue to his identity. He was well
dressed. and his coat was tightly buttoned,
while about the neck was knotted red
handkerchief. The body is that of man
forty or forty-five years of age, and five feet
ten and half inches in height The hair
is slightly mixed with gray, and he wore a
light-brown or reddish moustache.
Coroner Clark held an inquest on the re-
mains last evening, but nothing was devel-
oped to remove the mystery surrounding
the case. Many persons called to view the
remains, but nobody has been able to

of your widely circulated paper, to address
the hop'growers OF Sacramento, Yolo,
Iuba and Suffer counties on matter OF
vast importance TO those parties engaged in
the business. 1t must be evident to all OF
them, by this time, that unless there be
some means devised looking to the mar
keting of these hops different from what
has been the custom, the business had bet
ter be abandoned. Recent developments
most certainly lead TO that conclusion. So
we do most earnestly request that TIE hop

The other night the residence of Ed.
Palms, in Washington, was entered by
burglars, who, it appears, were of the
hungry class. They disturbed nothing ex-
cept the contents of the cupboard, but to
these they iberally helped themselves.
Pies and cakes disappeared, and this was
the extent of the robbery. The only occu-
pants of the house were two women and
the intruders were probably aware of this
fact.
