ANUSEMENTS.

There was fair house at the Metropoli-
tan Theater last night, despite the excite
ment and interest outside. due to the re-
ceipt of election returns. The Stow
away" was played well. and thoroughly
pleased the audience, which did not fail to
manifest its satisfaction. The scenery is
even better than when the melodrama was
given here two years ago. and the COM
pany, We think. is better balanced. The
sensational scene of the blowing open of
the safe by the two reformed burglars"
was up to promise. The best scenic effect
was that of the full.rigged yacht. upon the
deck of which an entire act of the play
is given. The sensational piece will be
given again tonight, and for the last time.
On Fridry and Saturday of this week NV.
s. Cleveland's Colossal Colored Carnival
Ministries" will appear at the Metropolitan
Theater. 1t is to be said tina, Mr.. Cleye-
land never brought small or poor troupe
OF any kind to the coast. In this case he
promises us sixty performers. among whom
are Tom Mcintosh, James Bland. Will Ed
ridge, Doc Sayles, George Tichner, four
Brewer brothers, Eaton snd Williams.
Cicero Reed and son, Grant and Williams,
the Sans Souci quartet, the Twilight quar-
tet, Billy Farrell. Smart and Taylor, the
great Jalvin, Prof. James Wilson, W. G.
Harris, Henderson Smith, Mons. Lsvard,
Frank Warner and Tom Jones, together
with acrobats, comedians, singers, dancers
and musicians, who it is promised will
present unique entertainment with many
novelties original with Mr.. Cleveland. The
Los Angeles Tribune of October Dist said of
the company that it gives fine entertain
ment, and in originality, costumiDg, stage
setting and general features is novelty
and decidedly strong attraction. A street
parade is announced on each day the COM
pany appears here. which is spoken of as
brilliant affair in itself. Cleveland is one
of the few great minstrel managers, and
confidence is ieposed in him that he will
keep the promises that he makes in his
bills,

An italian Attacked with a Knife by a
Fellow-Countryman.
Joseph Scatana, deck-hand on one of
the up.river steamers, was stabbed in the
stomach and arm last evening about Z
O'Clock at the corner of Second and L
streets. His assailant afterwards disap-
peared. and it is thought left the city.
From Scatana's statement, it appears that
he was talking on the corner with friend
when an Italian named o. Frediaui, who
has for the past five years peddled lines
about the city, suddenly rushed at him
with dirk-knife. Scatana threw up his
arm to ward off the thrust, and had the
heshy part of his left arm near the shoulder
pierced by the knife. Not satisfied with
this Frediani struck at him again and stuck
the knife into the right side of his stomach
iDf1icting cut about an inch in depth
The assailant then hurried away.
Friends carried the injured man to q
doctor, where his wounds were
dressed. A considerable amount of blood
flowed from the cut in the stomach, but it
was thought the knife did not penetrate
deep enough to do serious internal in
jury.
The Italian population were considerably
excited over the affair last evening, and
every endeavor will be made to apprehend
the man who did the cutting.

NELSON'S PARDON.
Chief Drew Finds Some Important Proof
of Shinn's Story.

Chief Drew Finds Some Important Proof
of Shinn's Story.
1t will be remembered that Shinn, the
outlaw, in making his confession, told the
authorities that ne was the individual who
robbed Davis and Connie near the Amer.
can river bridge on the Sd of July of last
year-a crime for which an innocent man,
one George Nelson, is now serving a ten.
year sentence at Folsom. Since this dis
covery Chief of Police Drew has worked
diligently to establish the truth of Shinn's
statement The latter stated that in the
attempt to rob the Chinese hop pickers at
Merkeley's ranch, shortly after the bridge
affair, he lost his vest, in the pocket of
which was the watch he took from Davis
at the bridge.
Chief Drew has succeeded in finding be
watch. He went down to where the at.
tempt was made to rob the Chinamsn, and
learned that A. Mouton had found Shinn's
vest and the stolen watch, and that Mou-
ton gave the watch 10 one of the China.
men. The Chinaman sold the watch in
this city, and it was here that the Chief
found it.
1t only remains for Davis to identify the
watch, and this part of Shinn's story will
be fully established.
1t is probable that Nelson will be par.
doned very soon.
