ADJUSTMENTS.

Maggie Mitchell certainly possesses the
secret of perpetual youth. Upon the stage
she is the same vivacious, restless, natural
unaffected and charming actress who,
years and years ago, won the ten thousands
by her inimitable personation of Fanchon.
Save that she is little stouter, but not less
shapely. that her voice has deepened a
little and that her face is q shade more seri-
Gus, she is the Maggie Mitchell OF old. As
Ray Golden, she personated at the Metro
politan Theater last night character
in every respect adapted to her
manner, but it is not charged, as is
"Fanchon," with the passion, abandon and
Maggie Mitchell will be seen tonight and
the prediction is made that it will be as
thoroughly good "Fanchon" as of old.
Many others have essayed to rival Maggie
Mitchell in that role, and but one has re-
ally won the distinction-Alice Kings
bury. Anna Boyle made it tom-boy,
and failed to grasp the idea of the
wealth of tenderness, the deep sense
of human Justice, and the wonderful quail
tiles in it. None have done that so COM
pletely as Maggie Mitchell. The promise
is for full house tonight. The support is
good. Mr.. Abbott, the leading man, is an
accomplished actor and an admirable foil
to the star. Whoever set the stage for the
third act of Ray" last night proved how
familiar scenery by little change and
good stage dressing can be made delight
to the eye and to fit into the story Of a
play without loss of a single desired effect.
The beautiful basket of flowers sent to
Miss Mitchell upon the stage last night
was handsome and deserved tribute. 1t
may be suspected that it came from a
thoughtful one of her own sex, who re-
called the earlier years of the actress sue

More Trouble on the Central Pacific and

More Trouble on the Central Pacific and
Oregon.
On the bulletin board at the railroad
Office yesterday the two west-bound over
land trains were reported as being late
one sixteen and the other several hours.
The detention of the trains was caused on
the Union Pacific road, near Terrace,
where washout of the track occurred. To
make matters worse, however, wreck oc-
Cured on the Central Pacific at Cisco. at an
early hour yesterday morning. A west
bound freight train was nearing the station
when two freght cars one filled with cattle
and the other with plows, jumped the track
anu dashed against the side of the shed,
knocking the uprights out of place and caus-
ing the sheds for distance of seventy feet to
tumble in. There was a great weight of
snow on them and the two cars that ran
OF the track were crushed to splinters. Out
of twenty head of cattle, only one escaped
being crushed to death, and the lone sur
viving animal became mad and was about
to play sad havoc with the train crew
when it, too, had to be killed a wreck
ing train was sent down from Truckee as
soon as the news of the wreck reached
there, and the debris was cleared away
yesterday evening.
About mile above Cape Horn mills
there was another blockade of the Central
Pacific. This time not sheds or snow, but
full tledged landslide was the obstruction,
something this road has not experienced in
a long time. A freight train coming down
Yesterday morning discovered theslide, and
the office here was Immediately informed,
and men were ordered TO shovel the track
clear. The slide was fifty feet in length,
and the track was covered to a depth of
about eight feet The fact that it occurred
in cut makes the task of removing il all
the more difficult. The slide is but short
distance from the fill where the five loco
motives and plow toppled over couple of
weeks ago, but not being very large the
clearing OF the road was expected some
time during the night.
During the early hours of yesterday
morning there was fall of eight inches Of
snow at the Summit.
The Oregon road is blocked again at tun.
mel by another slide. Until it is removed
the old tactics of transferring will have to
be adopted.

MoNGoLIAN IMMIGRANTs.
Several Hundred Chinese Quafls Received
by the Fish Commission.

Several Hundred Chinese Quafls Received
by the Fish Commission.
Six crates arrived IN this city yesterday,
consigned to President Routier, of the State
Board of Fish Commissioners, and con-
tanning each about one hundred Chinese
quails. The birds arrived by the last
steamer from China. Mr.. Routier has ar
ranged to distribute them as follows:
A. Abbott takes one crate, to be for
warded to n. D. Rideout's farm in Yuba
county, where the birds will be protected
from the depredations of pot-hunters.
W. Z. Gerber has been intrusted with
another crate for Superintendent Mackey of
the Rancho Gel Paso A choice locality
will be selected by Mr.. Gerber on the great
A 0O0-acre ranch in which to set the birds
at liberty, and they will be closely watched.
Warden Aull, of the Folsom Prison, will
receive about one hundred birds, TO be set
free on the Prison grounds. The only
thing to be feared in this case is that the
little strangers may wander off into the
heavy chaparral in that neighborhood and
not besn again seen, unless they should es-
cape their natural enemies and breed
abundsntly.
Another crate of the birds will be dis
tributed between the farms of President
Routier, DR.. Manlove and Taylor, along
the American river bottom where they GER
tainly should do well.
President Routier will send one crate to
Senator Goucher at Fresno, where the birds
will be looked after about the farms and
vineyards of that locality.
The Bailache rancho in the southern
part OF San Joaquin county will receive an
equal number of the Mongolian immigrants.
These quails are much smaller than the
native bird and if they had yellow breasts,
might readily pass for meadow -lsrks, so
closely do they resemble the latter in size
and plumage. Their color is light gray,
with brown stripes about the head and
neck. They look like gamy little fellows,
and it is to be hoped that they will multi
ply rapidly. California sportsmen are
greatly in need of bird that will not only
lie closely to the dog and gun, but which
will make its home about the farms and
orchards of the valleys, instead of seeking
the dense thickets of the hills, as do the
California quail.
President Routier says that any number
of these birds can be had, and at compare
lively small expense. 1t may be that they
will prove Just the bird desired to supplant
the native quail

BOLD ROBBERS.
They Assault and Attempt to Rob a
Young Man.

They Assault and Attempt to Rob
Young Man.
About 10 o'clock on Thursday night, as
Will Young, son of State Printer Young,
was passing along Seventh street, he was
stopped in front of grocery store at the
corner of N street by man, who ordered
him to throw up his hands.
Young at first regarded it as part of
practical joke concocted by some of his
friends as the man spoke in subdued and
evidently unnatural tone of voice, and in
quired for what purpose was he asked to
throw up his hands. At the same time he
poked his umbrella toward his supposed
friend in playful way.
But the fellow meant business, and
sprang toward Young, dealing him severe
blow on the head with club and knock
ing him down. As Young fell, compan-
ion of his assailant jumped out from be-
hind some boxes, but Young scrambled to
his feet and yelled Justify, causing the foot
pads to get out of the way.
Young went to the house OF a friend
near by and reported his experience, and
was accompanied back to the scene. There
his umbrella was recovered but the foot
pads had taken his hat. The latter was
stiff one, but for which fact it is believed
the blow he received on his head from the
footpad's club would have killed him.
