ADJUSTMENTS.

AT the Metropolitan Theater Friday
and Saturday evenings Goodyear, Elitch
& Schilling's Minstrels will appear.
When here last season the company
proved to be one Of the best that ever
raised a curtain in Sacramento. The as
surance is given that the company as now
constituted is much stronger, more fully
and richly equipped and more elegantly
costumed. Goodyear is one of the best
known, drollest and most successful OF
minstrels. Schilling more than any other
minstrel is entitled to be called "the
originator of novelties" Hall, as a de-
ineator of character in cork and a banjo
ist, is classed as among the very first and
as the highest salaried minstrel of the
day. MazuZ and Abecco, Arabs, are the
gymnasts Of the company, and with Sr.
Garcia, the performer on the salerio, q
Greek instrument, make their first ap-
pearance this season on the coast. The
Arabs are pronounced the finest acrobats
on the stage Of the time. The company
has a fine band, a superior vocal trio, a
quintet. and a number of specially per-
formers. The box Office opens for sale OF
reserved seats tomorrow morning.

THAT WATER TOWER.
The County Hospital Ornament the
Cause of a Suit.
Richards & Knox, Assignees of the
Contractors, Claim the Sole Right
to Receive the Money Due.

When the Supervisors voted last week
to allow the various claims of the sub
contractors who did work on or furnished
materials for the new water tank at the
County Hospital, j. B. Devine, attorney
for Richards Il Knox, told them that their
action would involve the county in law
suit.
This warning came true yesterday,
when Richards & Knox instituted an
action against the county to recover the
sum of Sl,Sl0. The firm is one of the
creditors of the American Bridge Com
pany, which had the contract for erecting
the tank, but afterward became insolvent.
Richards & Knox are also the legally
appointed assignees of the company, and
as such claim that the county can settle
only with them, and that they will be re-
sponsible to the other Sacramento credit
orS
The Supervisors once before allowed
the separate claims of the esub-cOntractors,
but Auditor Johnson refused to issue
warrants for the several amounts, on the
ground that the county knew only the
original contractors (or their assignees)
IN the transaction and could not pay the
claims of outside creditors.

ton, but Henry Starr came in as the at
torney for Mrs. Hays, one OF the creditors,
with q mechanics lien of $4U0 on the
bridge company's claim. Then the Su-
peryisors had a little ''ratlle' with the
County Auditor and blamed him for the
mess, saying that he had nothing to do
with the legal points at issue, but that his
duty WAS simply to draw warrants for
whatever claims the board should see tit
to allow.
Auditor Johnson talked back to the
august County Fathers, ana told them
that he would do what he believed to be
his duty III such matters. He said he had
taken legal advice on the subject. and
had been warned not to pay these claims
against the protest of the assignees, lest
the county might have to pay them
twice.
Deputy District Attorney Buckley ad-
vised the board that the safer course to
pursue would be to pay over the money
to the assignees, who would be response
bic for its distribution among the several
local creditors.
After listening to all that the lawyers
and the Auditor had to say on the SUBJ
Iect, the Supervisors came to the conclu-
sion that they had some power in the
premises, SO they went to work and did
just what was done befOre-allow the
claims of the various sub-contractors.

THE LECTURE.


Professor Barnard, the Astronomer. to
Lecture Tonight at the Theater.
Professor Barnard, of the faculty of the
Lick Observatory, will lecture tonight
at the Metropolitan Theater for the bene-
tit Of the Sacramento School of Design.
His subject will be, Recent Discovery
i'll Visual and Photographic Astronomy"
The lecture will be illustrated brilliantly
with photographs taken through the great
telescope on Mount Hamilton, These
Will be thrown upon q screen twenty-five
feet square, and Illuminated by stereop-
ticon lighted by two burners, each of
2OO0 candle-power, through lenses at a
focal distance OF fOrty-nine feet
The great screen was put in place on
Monday, and repainted a pure white,
that the most delicate lines OF the tele-
scop1c photographs may be clearly de-
fined upon it. Last night the burners
and lenses were tested by Edward John
son with perfect success. The screen is
SO situated that perfect view is obtain
able from all parts of the auditorium.
When Professor Barnard delivered his
lecture in San Francisco the press pro-
nounced it the most brilliant auGi inter
esting of any lecture ever given upon the
PACING Coast. In these columns an out
line of the topics to be treated has already
been given, so that it is not now neces-
sary to refer to them in detail. 1t will
suffice to say that the sweep of the
lecture is very broad; that it is for the
general public, and intended to give a
great amount Of useful information OF
absorbing interest i'll manner TO quicken
desire to learn more, and in "a form to
come within the comprehension of gem
eral audience.
Prof. Barnard comes without charge for
his services. The press of the city has
given its aid freely, the Capital Gas Com
pany has contributed the lights and most
generous aid has been extended by the
public TO make the event one of marked
success. The prices have been placed so
low that none need be deprived of the
pleasure and profit Of attendance. The
School of Design at best cannot make
much money in consequence of the low
figures, but the Museum Association will
have the satisfaction of having contrib
uted materially to public pleasure and in
telllgence by securing the services Of so
distinguished an astronomer as Prof
Barnard to tell us OF the wonderful dis
coveries made in the heavens by the aid
of photography.
1t may be well to state that those who
see the enlargement of the Photographic
views Will see more than if they visited
Mount Hamilton and had use of the great
telescope, because photography makes
revelations that the telescope itself will
not reveal directly to the eye.
The boxes of the stage, holding six
and of the mezzanine row, holding four
each, will be sold to first comers from 8
o'clock this morning at 5ll X street.
There are no reserved seats. The doors
will open at 7:30 and the lecture will be-
gin at o'clock. Tickets can be had to-

islative practices. The trial was COM
menced last Tuesday. The taking of

tiff. After being charged by Judge
Hooker, the jury retired, and, after be-
ing out from little after o'clock in
the afternoon until $40 in the evening,
brought in verdict of 81 damages for
Mr. Donnelly. The verdict was a sur
prise, as it was expected that the jury
would award the plaintiff damages be-
tween 5000 and SOC, ,000 Mr.. Donnelly
will appeal
