ABOUT A WAGON.
The Charge Against Young Charles r.
Mcr1ullin.

Justice Henry yesterday heard a por
ton of the evidence in the matter of
the charge against Charles r. McMul-
lin of having stolen a wagon. but one
important witness was absent, and the
hearing will be resumed this afternoon.
j. II. Hamilton, farmer living about
seven miles from this city, is the COM
planning witness. He accuses McMullin
who is little more than a boy-of
having helped himself to one of his
wagons without permission.
McMullin testified that he was given
PERMISSION by Hamilton's son to use
the wagon for a potato peddling trip
up north. The latter was not in court
and as his testimony was desired the
case went over until to-day McMullin
further said he had offered to pay for
the wagon. but Hamilton said he had
no recollection of his having done so.
1t does not appear to be a very seri-
Gus matter

A Correction.

Eds. Record Union: Allow ME to
make correction on your report of my
paper read before the convention Of
fruit growers in your city on the I'd
inst.
l did not advise the Introduction Of
our dried fruits into the English
army" but into the army and navy.
civil service and other great co-opera-
tive stores.
The army and navy stores" is a cor
poration of gigantic size, the members
(known by numbers) being army peo-
pie, on the retired list or otherwise.
This rule is not adhered to strictly. as
any member may introduce friend,
who is given a number and no Gues-
tiOns asked.
The fact remains, however that these
stores carry only the best goods, and
that their patrons consist of only the
very best families.
This was in the course of my argu-
ment that to get the English market
other methods than the ordinary
channels Of trade must first be adopt
ed, as preparatory measures at least.
If our products become fashionable,
in other words, in England, all classes
will want a bite, and the demand is
created. Yours truly,

LECTURE ASSOCIATION
1t Opens With Schubert's Symphony
Club and Ladies' Quartet.

AS heretofore announced the Sacra-
,nento Lecture Association will open its
seasons course of entertainments with
the Schubert Symphony Club and
Ladies Quartet this evening at the
congregational Church. This company
mas been warmly praised by the press
Wherever 1t has appeared. and it pre-
sents rich and varied programme.
The range of voice Of the soprano. Miss
Mabel Delaney, is from F below the
stan to the second G above the staff,
While Miss LOWE Zendt Purcell the con-
tralto, is as remarkable in her low range
of score as is Miss Yaw in her high
notes. Miss Purcell sings clearly down
to double CO or to the second c below
the staff. There are few bass voices
that reach lower notes, and such depth
OF tone in the female register is equally
as wonderful and uncommon as the
added T. above the staff sung by Miss
Yaw
Other members of the club and quar-
tet are spoken of by the press as of very
high merit. Accompanying the combi-
nation is the midget prodigy. Master
Tommy Purcell, aged s years, who went
upon the concert stage at ;. and of
whom the st. Louis Chronicle" re-
marks: His work on the violin is re-
markable, while his comic songs
brought down storms of applause. and
all were 10th to let the little fellow leave
the stage"
The Lecture Association has evidently
secured for it's opening entertainment
a musciai attraction which will crowd
the church to its full capacity. as have
most of the concerts presented by the
association in the past, but no such
crowding of the aisles should be per
mitted by the Lecture Association man
ayers as would prevent easy and rapid
egress should necessity require it. Sea
son tickets are on sale at the book
stores, music stores and several of the
drug stores al ST. as usual, and will also
be sold at the door tonight Doors will
open at and the concert commence at

TWO RURGLARIES.
The PIunder Recovered and Three
rlen Arrested.

Yesterday morning a room at JOG K

suits of clothing, a half-dozen white
shirts, a half-doZen pairs of socks, a
pair of suspenders and other things.
Officers Taylor and Maley set to work
on the case and with such success that

articles where they had been sold and
had arrested Frank Murphy, Elan
rery, the Piper" and one Mitchell, the
men who had disposed of them.
The same officers recovered yesterday
four umbrellas, an overcoat, a rubber
coat and two coats and vests that had
been stolen during the preceding night
from the office of Richards & Knox,s
lumber yard.
1t is not known, however, that the lat
ter burglary was committed by the
same parties. The officers had lots of

A YOUNG GIRLS Sad FATE.
Hiss Nellie Heath Fires a Bullet Into
Her Heart.
Done in Her Own Home -DeSpOnd-
ent Because She Was
Cripple.

The family Of J. R. Heath are in the
deepest sorrow over a sad occurrence
that yesterday robbed them of MEM
Der of their household.
1T was no less than the suicide of Miss
Nellie Heath, a young girl of lS years,
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Heath.
1t came as a terrible blow to the father,
mother, sister and brother of the un-
fortunate girl, and they were all so
Frustrated with grief last night that
very little could be learned beyond the
fact that the girl had taken her life.
The act was committed in the family
nome at Oak Park about O'Clock in the
afternoon. Mr.. Heath was at his jewel
erS store in the city at the time, and
there were no members of the family
at home except Mrs. Heath and her
daughter, Nellie. The latter was in her
room, and at about the hour named q
pistol shot was heard.
Before Mrs. Heath could locate the
report two nearby neighbors, Mrs. H.
s. Horton and Mrs Kerr, who heard the
shot, ran into the house and to Miss
Heath'S room, where the girl was found
Oh her bed and breathing her last. The
smoking pistol lay by her side.
The terrible discovery threw Mrs.
Heath into a condition Of nervous pros
tration that was really alarming, and
some of the neighbors gave their atten-
tion to her, while word was sent to Mr..
Heath and also to Coroner Clark.
Mr.. Heath was also SO shocked at the
tragedy which SO suddenly ended the
life Of his daughter that he could not
talk about it.
But from those who know the family
Ii was learned that the probable cause
of the girl taking her life was the fact
that she was hopelessly crippled All
her life, it is said, she had been troubled
with weak ankles and was obliged to
wear braces or supports, and even with
these she had to use a pair of crutches.
1t is said that while the poor girl
was often despondent over her misfor-
tune, she had never limited at such a
thing as doing herself violence, and
neither members of the family nor any
OF her friends ever dreamed Of her en-
1ertaining any such notion
Apparently the impulse to end her life
came suddenly upon her, and she re-
tired to her room and did the deed
While her mind was clouded by the
shadow of dependency
An examination of the body showed
that the unhappy girl had acted with
apparent deliberation, for the bullet en-
tered the left breast near the nipple
and probably pierced the heart.
Mr.. Heath and family were old resi-
dents of the city, but some years ago
removed to Placerville Last spring
they returned to Sacramento and estab-
ushed their home at Oak Park. Mr.
Heath became associated with w. J.
Grafmlller In the jewelry business on ]
street near Ninth, and was in his store
when he received the terrible news of
the tragedy at his home.

in four of her original dance poses, or
whatever one may choose to call them.
There is more credit for Miss Fuller for
designing these beautiful stage pictures
than for executing them, though it is
simple truth to say that she has no

tention of the skillful woman easily. She
certainly charmed all who witnessed the
skill and grace with which she depicted
the subjects chosen, and the wonderful
way in which she fashioned clouds of
Grapery in the air into whatever de-
sign she pleased. The effects produced
by the disposition of powerful lights and
the flashing a wealth of rich and chang
ing colors were exceedingly beautiful
and received approving recognition
from the audience in applause and in
encores to which, however. she did not
respond, save to bow her acknowledge
ments. Unlike those who have pre-
ceded her, she appears against an in
tensely dark background, with all the
stage surroundings in sable This in
tensiies the effects, giving astereoscopic
character to the designs, and adds to
the brilliancy of the lights cast upon
the figure alone. In short, La Loie
