LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Police i„ ioitebp. — A meeting of
the Hour.! of Police Commissioners was
held at the station-house yesterday after
noon, all t'ne members present. After a
private consul— tion of about half an hour,
the Hoard held ati open session, when the
President, Mayor Brown, stated that the
Board had derided that it was inexpedient
at the present tune, when the force was
about to work under the new conditions
rendered necessary by the passage by the
Legislature of the bill prohibiting the
licensing of gaming, to hold an election for
policemen or make any changes. The
Board was determined that gambling
should be stopped, and to that end every
officer would be called upon to work earn
estly. The Board reserved the right to
hold an election for a new force at any
time in the future it deemed proper, and
also to remove any officer for cause. Chief
Jackson and Judge Henry coincided in the
expressions of the Mayor, and declared a
determination to hold the officers to strict
accountability. It is understood that the
City Trustees will, at their meeting next
Monday, repeal the ordinance licensing
• games, and an understanding will then be
arrived at as to when the war on the gam
tiers will be inaugurated.

meeting of the City Trustees was held yes
terday mornirg to investigate the charges
filed by R. A. Fisk against Chief En ; :.. • -
Sullivan of the Fire Department and the

ever, as he hail not received :: copy of the
charges in season to be prepared to meet
them, ami the matter accordingly* went
over until next Friday. The Chief ex
pressed a desire to have the whole matter
thoroughly looked into; Mr. Fisk inti
mated his intention to be prepared with
evidence to (substantiate his accusations,
and the Trustees,' though satisfied that the
Fire Commissioners had already looked
into the facts carefully, stated that they
were willing to investigate, as the Chief
desired It. -Under t.i — i circumstance?, if
there is anything wrong it is apt to appear ;
and if the charges are groundless that also
will be made known.

Question— Did you not liud Gale and
Burns in the office waiting for you with
ii.i books open to crooked transactions?

remember where I went from Sacramento
on that particular trip.
Question— Did yon not register at the
Golden Eagle on December C, 1882?

di charred, and thereupon you immedi
ately wrote your resignation '.'

you ?
Witness— lf tiny did, I handed it to Mr.
Bums, as that was his specific directions.
. Question — Were the clerka.-so directed
and instructed
Witness l don't know what instructions
they had. I don't say that they did give it
tt* me. I have no recollect sf receiving

Hie Slate
Witness — early in 1880 a small sum
was paid in to tlie State.

transaction, and forget all the others?
Witness— l suppose it is because at that
time Burns told me. always hand ballot
paper money to him.
Question — not such acts cause
you to have a distinct recollection of them?
Witness— Well, he told me the appro
priation for the purchase of ballot paj>er
was not sufficient, and instead of turning
the money over to the State he would use
it in replenishing the stock. He said he
had arranged it all right with the Statu
Board »f Examiners,
Question— When did he make such a
statement?
Witness — I don't remember.

--actions took place.
General Hart took the book, exhibited it.
to the jury, and claimed that it was writ
ten in one day.
The entries were written with a lead
pencil, were not in the least blurred, and
the hook was in an excellent state of pres
ervation, indicating that it had been
handled but little. Witness said be had
carried ii in his pocket but little, anil when
he did so it was always inside an envelope
or another book. " IP-"&
■ Question -Vi.ii account for a large
amount of this deficiency, but what becamo
of the balance of the money not accounted
lor, and which amounts to $12,000 more?
Witness- -All that I can say is that I did
not get it.
Question — What became of the deficiency,
according to your own book, of $4,000,
over nnil above the amounts entered on
your memorandum? Vott did not enter
anything you did not receive, did you?
Witness— have answered that before.
I don't remember .of ever receiving any
money. from Mr. Barns. He never left any
money with mc to pay his hills. No one
ever gave me any money to be placed to
his credit that I can remember.
General Hart showed him six warrants
for «i each elated July, 181*0; October,
1880; July, 1881; January, 1881, Febru
ary, 18**!, and .March, 1881; all drawn by
the Controller in favor of D. M. Burns anil
indorsed by Thomas M. Reynolds. They
were for Burns' monthly salary.
Question -Do yon remember of dr.iwing
his warrants, and with the money so re
i.■..'•'. taking up his tags?
Witness-—! have no recollection of ever
receiving his salary.
Question— Well, it is evident you did
draw bis salary, clue why your indorse
ment?
Witness if I did draw it I suppose
I handed it over to him.
Question Did yon not at one time nvritc
Burns, addressing him at Troutdale, in
Lake county, saying you had drawn his
monthly salary, taken up his tag for .SIOO,
and put the "-I.'*) to one side for him ?
Witness— No, sir. 1 did not.
Question— Will you Bwear that when
Mr. Burns handed you his warrant for
February he did not also hand you $40 in
coin, the- two together making him square
with the *afe? * „
Witness 1 have no such recollection.
Question— Did you not tell Harry Gam
ble! that you held the original tags against
Burns, ami that you had given thorn to
your attorney ?
Witnees— No, sir. I did not. '4* :;
Question— you had the original cash
book in "/-our possession , how long would
it tako you to. writ up a little book like
that?
-. Witness— l conld not write it from the
casb-bixik, for the tags were put down at
the end of the month in a total."
Question — Do you remember Governor
Perkins' paying $75 in on a tag, which was
money loaned to the Republican Sailor
toy*' Club? : * •
: Witness— No, sir. Ido not.
Question— Will you swear that Governor
Perkins did not pay $75 within a week,
and Bnrns pay the other $75 within the
month, taking up the entire tag? -
Witness— Have no recollection of any
such transaction.
Several other items were taken up and
discussed similarly. One tag in the month
of August, 18.-* O. "was charged to Tharp,
*357. The ballot-paper book shows that
Tharp paid in that month $357. and coun
sel for defense claimed that witness must
be a little mixed upon that.
Question— How does it happen that in
January, 1860, the tag was only $.**), yet ;
your deficiency was over $300 ? Where did i

X— mi?.— i n*r Mrs. Edgkbtos*. —
Frances B. Edgcrton, of San Francisco,
gave readings at the Presbyterian Church
last evenint:, before p. large and brilliant
audience, one of the most broadly intelli
gent. She is a reader of splendid voice,
charming presence, dramatic ability and
high culture. As an interpreter of tho
emotional she is possessed of rare powers.
Her ease is such as is not often seen upon
the rostrum. She- is in a very high degree
gifted with the best style of oratorical
power. Her dramatic art is rounded and
full, and there ure so few defects in it that
they are not to be even recalled in the
presence of hi broad and accomplished
art. There have been few if any
readers in Sacramento who have so com
pletely won an audience or so truly moved
them. Sho was aided in her entertainment
by Mrs. J. E. C: Neale, pianist, who was
flatteringly received : J. 8. Graham; tenor,
who sang with fine effect ; Mrs. Addie Car
ter, the well-known contralto, who was
encored and sang with especial warmth
ami feeling; by the Misses Kaibel, tho
elder a pianist, tbe younger a violinist,
and both excellent performers, the younger
especially surprising the audience by the
grace and feeling of her touch and the skill
of her execution — they were warmly en
cored ; and by Messrs. Graham, Sanborn,
Carroll and Auerbach. the popular quartet,
who were recipients of warm manifestations
and favor. Mrs. Edaerton received several
floral favors sent up by friends.
The Loah Ex*r*B—l o*r. — The three halls
of the Crocker Art Gallery are now well
filled for the loan exhibition, and moro ex
hibits roll In. It would seem that the peo
ple are just awakening to its beauty, value
and all its possibilities. Some 550 new
exhibits came in yesterday. Among these
are beautiful and rare exhibits from Mrs.
E. B. Crocker, Mrs. Porter Ashe and Dr.
— . W. Hark s, of .-an Francisco, Vice-
President of the Academy of Sciences, who
came up at noon yesterday to arrange his
natural-history exhibits. Edward llosqui,
of San Francisco, scuds word that he will
bring up articles for the exhibition from
his One collection of curios. If goods pour
in to-day as they did yesterday, the Associ
tion will hardly be able to arrange them by
Monday night. It should take plenty of
time, fur it unquestionably has an exceed
ingly attractive and varied exposition one
worth days of study.
Tub New Theater. — General Thomas J.
Clonic, of San Francisco, was in the city
yesterday, and in conversation with a re
porter said his plans for building the new
theater at Eighth and X streets were all
made, and the contract let to B. A. Bovyer,
who would commence work upon the same
immediately. It will be the largest theater
in the State, outside of San Francisco, and
not exceeded in size by more than two in
that city. It will be erected in the court of
the Ciunie building, will be an elegant
structure, in size 70\122 feet, and will cost
$26,000. It will ho furnished with opera
chairs, all the latest improvements, and
will be large enough to meet the growing
demands of the present generation.' As to
who will manage the new theater, .Mr.
Ciunie says that Is a question not yet de
cided upon. He has no fear, he says, but
that there will be many ready to lease it
on its completion.
At the Rink.— Wilmot,- the champion
cyclist of America, will give exhibitions of
his wonderful ability at the Skating Rink,
' Sixth and M streets, this afternoon and
evening, and will perform new feats at
each exhibition. All who have seen him
pronounce his skill marvelous, and one of
the most remarkable is the ladder act on
one wheel. There will be music this even
ing, and, as an additional attraction, the
first of the series of mile races for a gold
medal between Messrs. Kidder, Morris and
Fox. Monday evening Copeland's steam
bicycle will be shown. East evening th.-re
was a half-mile race between Morris and
Hart-tall, the formci winning.
Metropolitan Theater. — Kate Castle
ton, -upportcel by her own company, pre
sented "At Sea" to a good houso at the
Metropolitan last evening, and sent her
audience home in good humor, the enter
tainment having been full of mirth and
music. For this afternoon's matinee '" At
' Sea" will be the attraction, and to-night a
double bill will bo given, including "At
; Sea" and " Pop."
The Tivom.— At the matinee this after
noon and nt the evening s performance to
day at the Tivoli will be presented for tbe
last time the beautiful drama, in four acts,
entitled " Light-House Clifls.'' It has had
a sneccisful run of one week, is a play of
merit, is well presented, the scenic effects
fine, nnd those who have not witnessed it
should not lose this, their last opportunity.

Presentation.
The many friends of Chief of Police Oli
ver C Jackson gave him a surprise party
at his rooms in the Arcade building last
evening. During the afternoon Ids apart- \
ments were elegantly decorated with flow
ers and evergreens, worked in beautiful
designs, the handiwork ot the Misses Sail—
and Annie Smith, Miss Lizzie O'Brien and
Mrs. Walter B. Ferral. j*Vfter the rooms
were filled with Mr. Jackson's friends, Jo
seph fcjtel'cns stepped forward and pre
sented the Chief, in a lengthy and eloquent
address, a beautiful badge, His closing re
marks were as follows : .
■ Not wishing to torture you with any further
observations of a doubtful meaning, —low mo
now to pass more directly to the subject which
tills the minds of all of your friends who arc
fortunate enough to be here at this time. You,
sir, were called by the people through a well
contested election, to till what is deemed one of
the most important positions of public duty and
trust in this city. To be the head of the police
department of a city of this import!— co is no
small honor, no trilling responsibility. To
know the* law, lo prize its majesty, to know its
provisions, to insist on its requirements by
friend or loe. citizen and stranger— your lirst
duty, your sworn pledge, the momentous weight
of your daily life— to do this duty rightly, to
preserve lite, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness; to take, in charge the guilty: to check the
speed of those "prone to do evil": to determine
the line of overt action of the erring ; to allow
forthe waverings of the human heart, tempted
by passion, tortured by want, dazed by criminal
surroundings. To detect (he conning of the
.raduate in crime; to follow the faint trail of
the fleeing criminal; to properly judge of the
lights and shadows of the ins and outs of a traf
ficking world, the gilded place, as well as the
haunts of the squalid, the intemperate and
poverty-stricken, requires a mind well versed m
the ways of the world, well balanced, rich in
Lotegriy, fearlessly bold— keen, tender, chari
table, firm, vigilant and sensible. Allow me to
remind you that the trained trotter that has the
pole, that comes up to thu mire promptly,
that . takes hard hold -of tin: bit,
that duplies lioldly lorwanl, ami that
holds out to the end, without • a break
or a waver, usually takes the purse, settles all
doubt In the pool-box, anti captures the hearts
of the people. Every community has the in
different, the critical and the i fault-finding,
Every community also has a proper number
who appreciate the trials aud elToitsof a faithful
public officer. As your self-denial and vigilance
begets safety to the whole people, so do the ap
pre-i iatlve value your efforts, turn to you in
gratitude aud earnestly desire that yoi to sus
tained and successful. In view of these facta
and your relation to the people, a few of your
friends are here this evening and earnestly sec
ond that which they have delegated to me the
pleasure of doing, that is, to thank you tor your
efficiency, to assure you of our hearty sympathy
in your well-doings, and as a slight token of oar
regard and esteem, to present to you that jew
eled badge. Take and accept it. Prize and
Cherish it. That, sir, was made from gold,
jewels, ami the represented thoughts of man.
While gold is the symbol, or index of this age,
" the root of all evil," it also represents centered i
interest, truth, purity and lasting worth. That
dozen diamonds reflect only light, Darkness
may envelop aud hide them, yet their value
and power never sleep, but they promptly hail
with glad welcome the first ray of light, let It
Come from wheresoever it may.
. You nvill notice that the emblem of our na
tion's might, the eagle, nvith its hal -poised I
wings, suspends this massive jewel from
its strong break. Adam in Eden taught
us to pair off, therefore the artist
with his master-workings, has beautifully
wrought in these two clubs, indicative of
prompt persuasion. That brace of pistols, the
protection of your life and our civil rights ; that
pair of cuffs, the first substantial grip of the law-,
and many other thoughts doubly represented
out most singularly beautiful. In the middle
of ft sentence across that shield, in plain, bold
letters, is inscribed " O. C. Jackson," while over
it, in many places, in childhood's language, that
none but your little daughter. Pearl, can read.
is written, "(Msec, Papa I" The very jewel
case itself reflects the shade of Sacramento's
midday sky. When "swords shall be turned
into p oughsbares. mid swam into pruning
hooks." then nvi-il this badge have a strange his
torical interest. In that token— centered, crys
tallized, cemented— the hopes, wishes,"™
golds and encouragements of many of your
friends. Not one that contributed towards it;
not one that shall hear and enjoy its presenta
tion and acceptance, but in their inn. soul
takes pride in your efficiency, your well-doings
and your many successes.
Mr. Jackson, on accepting the badge, an
emblem of his office and valued ut $."00,
returned thanks tothe donors and sui'.! he
never would dishonor it. lie said he was
no hand to make speeches, and ..-ailed upon
Judge Henry, with whom he had been in
timately associated for a number of years,
to respond for him.
Judge Henry made p. short speech in be
half of Mr. Jackson, which was full of feel
ing, brimming over with wit and humor,
and which was loudly applauded, Charles
T. Jones, Henry L. Buckley, W. R. Jones,
S. P. Muslin, J. - M. Hawkins, W.*A. Ander
son, John T. Griffltts, J.W. Wilson and
others made brief speeches. Champagne
and other refreshments were served with
out stint throughout the evening, which
was enlivened with excellent vocal arid in
strumental music.
TnK Cause or It. Curiosity was excited
yesterday by the fact that the Red House
was closed. On inquiry it was ascertained
that the closing was rendered imperative
by the preparations for an immense sale
which is to commence to-day, and fen- which
there has been a remarkable marking down
of prices. It is necessary, it seems, for Jin
establishment doing so much business to
close out its stock of winter goods as closely
as possible, in order to make room for the
large supply of articles for spring and
summer use demanded by the advancing
season, and in such an emergency prices
are reduced to Sacrifice figures. Next Mon
day the ladies will have an opportunity to
sec the fashions in millinery, as there
will be a grand opening in that depart
ment, ami a fine display of neat, service
able and elegant goods.

Death op a Pioneer— Jackson Wilcox
son. to whose dangerous illness reference
was recently made in the Record-Union,
died at the residence of his brother, Major
Jefferson Wilcoxson, in Washington. Yolo
county, Thursday evening. Deceased was j
well and favorably known throughout this
section of the State, where he has resided j
so long. He was a native of Kentucky, ;
hut came to California in 181!) and was in I
his 69th year. The remains will be sent to j
Woodland tor interment to-morrow.

of St. Rose Church will be held at Armory i

"Ht. Patrick's Day." Music will be fur- i
nished, both brass and siring, by the First !
Artillery band. There will be no booths !
or raffles of any kind conducted in the :
hall, and the low rate of admission, 50 !
cents, will no doubt insure a large atlend- ]
ancc. j
The first pigeon-shooting of the season
will be indulged in by the shotgun experts
at the Park to-morrow morning.
City Bbkwery.— This woll-known brew
ery, where the celebrated Pilaener Felsen
beer is manufactured, is nonv having some
important and expensive additions made
to the brewery building. Those most
worthy of mention arc tho refrigerator
and the wareroom for the torage of beer.
The former is something entirely new on
this coast, and is constructed on a principle
which will prove of great value in prop-*
erty preparing the beer for market. The
wareroom is constructed of stone, and,
when tided with beer, the temperature, by
means of the refrigerator, can bo raised to
within a few de-frees of freezing point.
These improvements will enable the pro
prietor, Mr. Frank Ruhstalier, to make as
good, if not a better, article than can he
bought in the Bust.
A B~B~~Bss*~*S Ovfer.— The Neurotlncsup

ties ailing should send in their name and
address at once, regardless of the nature of
their disease, and receive a sample. So

which a few doses of Neur otine has cured
that persons noticing tho result attribute to
tite remedy a mkraculoui power, *
*■;;_- The following extract is from a private letter writ-
: ten to the head of.the Hat Department by a represen-
tative of our house now traveling In .the East. It was
not intended for publication, but* we have thought it
worth reproduction, as showing the exact status of our
present stock :

If we mistake not the point to the above is this :
That the same advantages in style, quality and price
which New Yorkers enjoy in the selection of Hat-wear,
are in a large degree placed equally within the reach of
the people of Sacramento.
The stock as referred to above includes about one
hundred and fifty cases of Hats for Men, Hoys and
Children, and ranging in price from 25 cents to $8 50.
