UNEARTHED.
The Corner-Stone of Knickerbocker
Engine House.
•It Was Unearthed Yesterday—What
It Contained—Old Papers,
Coins and Curios.
The workmen engaged in excavating
"or the new Weinstock, Lubin <fc Co.'s
building yesterday unearthed the corner
stone of the house of old Knickerbocker
Engine Company No. 5.
A copper case within the stone was
found to be filled with papers and enrios,
photographs, coins and medals, manu
script and various contributions of the
members of tho old volunteer depart
ment, which has long since ceased to
exist, and most of the remaining mem
bers of which aro scattered far and wide.
There appears to have been two de
posits in tho corner-stone, one when it-
was originally laid, January 8, 1857, und
another when the building was raised,
October IS, 1809. When tho second de
posit was made it was necessary to re
move the copper casket for a time, and
while it was out of the stone a portion of
the contents were stolen. Tho thief, how
aver, was captured, convicted and pun
ished on the 13th of October. 1809.
The contents of the box have been de
livered to the California Museum Asso
ciation, and will presently be placed on
view in a case at the Art Gallery, and
kept among the collections of the associa
tion, where every one can examine them.
Among the contents of the box is a list
of tho membership of tho company in
January, 1557, as follows: J. C. Keenon,

Tiiis last is a quarto lilled with good
pictures, views of Sacramento in 1855,
with three-masted ships, full-rigged
brigs, barques and great steamers in
the river. There is a picture of Sutter's
Fort, of the principal churches of Sutter
ville, of the Waterworks, old gas works,
business streets, en«ine houses, bridges,
Court-house, etc. The magazine con
tains a complete history of Sacramento
up io that date.
Among the other deposits, not all of
wiiich can be named here, there being so
many, is a bill ofa Michigan wild-cat
bank; collar plate of Knick, the company
dog; silver ore, a large quantity of cop
per and silver coins of various* nations
of date from 1790 to 18(59; an old "buz

erbocker guidon; a passport, 1847; busi
n_aa cards in great munber; a fireman's
lun-shield and several other articles, let
ters, portraits, etc.
Of the especially interesting articles to
nu__ls__a*__ta are the seventy-centlpieces
of United States coinage, one of these dat
ing back to 1805. Another article of interest
is tha copy of tbe Daily Record (now the
Hkcop.u-Union), a minature sheet that
was printed on a Boat drawn in the pro
cession that moved through Sacramento
streets on the Bth of May, 1809, on the
occasion ofthe celebration of the comple
tion of the Central Pacific railroad aud
its junction with the Union Pacific at
Promontory Point. In that issue was re
published the poem of the lady who wrote
under the nom' de plum ■•Sojonrm-r
Truth." and who was an early resident of
Sacramento, and a frequent contributor
to the press. Her poem, which had .adds
circulation, will be remembered by old
timers as "The Song of the Irou Horse,"
and began:
Harness ir.c quick with iron bands,
I am impatient of long delay;
I fain would speed to distant lands
That liask far otf in the sun's tirst rays,
Harness me quick aud feed me with :Ire,
Give me steam for breath, anda mind to
control;
Who stops in my way, with a vengance dire
My iron hoof shall his requiem toll
Harness ir.e quick, with his solemn roar
Paa_.fl_ moans, "My wa .-smart- too slow
For the army of progress that seeks my
shore—
So I bid thee haste in thy glorious _lr__g__
An briii;; them safe to my goldeu door."
Tills tide of empire uo power can stay,'
Its volume is swifter than ever before!
Then harness me quick and let me away.
Thase were indeed the days when the
hopes of Californians ran high, and they
gloried in the success that attended the
completion of oue of the greatest works
of man.
The collection affords great opportu
ne v to enlarge uponl pioneer times, and
indulge in almost endless reminiscent
pleasures.
Wants His Sister.
Antone Louisa applied to the Superior
Court yesterday through his attorney,
James B. Devine, for a writ of habeas
corpus, directing that his sister, Mary
Louisa, a minor, be produced in court,
and by the court be given into his care.
In his petition Antone alleges that his sis
ter is unlawfully restrained of her liberty
by one R. J. Lawrence, who resides at
Robbers' Hill, near Folsom. The peti
tion was presented to Superior Judge Cat
lin, and that official ordered that Jfary be
produced in court on the 29th inst., at
which time the facts will be heard.
THREW UT THE SPONGE.
Sullivan, Ono of the Brighton Robbers,
Pleads Guilty.
John Sullivan, charged with robbery,
was brought beforo Superior Judge Van
Fleet yesterday at his own request and
asked permission to withdraw his plea of
"not guilty," so as to plead guilty.
The request was granted and Sullivan
will be sentenced to-day.
In November last a farm hand named
J. 11. Page was en route to tho city from
Briggs' ranch, near Routier's Station,
with $70 hard-earned money iv his
pocket and a heavy load of wayside
whisky in his stomach. The effect of
his combination burden was to make him
weary (as he was Journeying afoot), and
when he had counted the railroad ties as
far as Brighton Junction ho sat himself
down on the track to rest. Sullivan, ac
companied by two others, named Wright
and Quintan, who are now awaiting trail,
came along. They concluded then and
there to turn over a new Page, and the
weary and defenseless traveler was
turned over without ceremony and re
lieved of his §70. Tho trio resumed their
journey toward the hamlet of Perkins.
On the way Wright and Sullivan en
tered the premises of Mrs. Kirn, by the
roadside, aud that lady saw them iii her
woodshed. After they had gone she
went there and found £40 in gold, which
they had left, probably with the inten
tion of returning for it at night.
Then Page appeared and told Mrs.
Kirn what had happened to him, and she
hitched up her horse and drove to Per
kins and informed the officers, who sub
sequently arrested the trio.
"YORKEY" MOYNAHAN FREE.
Tho Court Satisfied that a Second Jury
"Would Not Convict.
"Yorkey" Moynahan, tho hackman,
in whose trial the jury failed to agree
Thursday night, was before Superior
Judge Van Fleet again yesterday, osten
sibly for the purpose of having the date
of his second trial set.
Moynahan will not be tried again, how
ever.
District Attorney Ryan addressed the
court when the case was called, and said
that ho was satisfied that it would only
be a waste of timo to try Moynahan
again. , Tho case had been fully presonted
on the first trial, and the jury stood six
for acquittal and six for conviction. This
when the testimony was considered, did
not indicate that a second jury would
come any nearer bringing in a verdict of
guilty, and it would only entail an un
necessary expense upon the county to
hold Moynahan.
Hiram W. Johnson, Moynahan's attor
ney, spoke in a similar strain. He said
he was satisfied from tho start that his
client was innocent of'the charges against
him, and was confident that no jury
would ever convict him.
The District Attorney then made a for
mal motion for the discharge of tho pris
oner on both tho grand larceny and crim
inal assault charges.
Judge Van Fleet granted the motion
and discharged Moynahan. He said he,
too, was satisfied from the evidence in
the case that there was no reason to ex
pect a conviction on either charge.
RESULT OP A CLERICAL ERROR
A Suit for Foreclosure of a Mortgage
Commenced.
Elizabeth Ray has commenced suit in
the Superior Court against Delia R. Ing
ham for the foreclosure of a mortgage.
It appears that Mrs. Ingham and Clias.
T. Ingham, her husband, borrowed £700
from Mrs. Ray, giving their note there
for, and also a mortgage on a certain lot
in the block bounded by D and E, Thir
teenth and Fourteenth streets, the terms
of which mortgage provided that In case
of default of payment or installment or
the interest on tlie borrowed money, Mrs.
Ray might at her option, and without
notice, foreclose it.
In making out the papers, however, a
mistake was made causing the mortgage
to apply to a lot between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets instead of Thirteenth
and Fourteenth.
According to the complaint, tho Ing
hams then refused to pay up, and now
Mrs. Ray brings suit, believing that the
error referred to will in no way affect her
claim.
STAGE DEMOLISHED.
A Locomotive Collides V.Tth It, hut Xo
body ls Hurt Badly.
Word was received at the railroad office
in this city yesterday morning that the
Caniptonvillo stage was struck by a loco
motive on the Ninth-street railroad cross
ing in Marysville and completely demol
ished. The engine of the gravel train had
detached itself and pulled up to the
water tank for a supply of water.
On her return tho driver of the stage
thought he could cross tho track before
the engine reached the crossing, and
whipping up his horses, he attempted to
do so.
The stage and engine met simultane
ously on the track, and tho stage, of
course, got the worst ofthe collision. The
driver and three passengers, were thrown
out, but nobody was seriously hurt.

ILLEGAL VOTING.
The First Conviction in Sacramento
County in Many a Year.
Henry Weber Was Not a Citizen, but
Swore His Vote In—Recom
mended for Mercy.
Henry Weber was tried and convicted
in Superior Judge Van Fleet's court yes
terday ofthe crime of illegal voting.
Weber is a native of Germany, and had
taken out his first citizenship papers in
the East. At the last election he pre
sented himself at the polls at Gait and
offered his vote. He was challenged on
the ground that he was not a citizen—not
having taken out his second papers.
Weber announced his determination to
vote, held up his right hand and swore
that he was a citizen of the United States.
His vote was then accepted.
WEBER'S DIiFENSE.
Subsequently Weber was arrested, ex
amined before a Justico of the Peace at
Gait and held to answer.
Weber's defense was that he really be
lieved ho was a citizen and entitled to
vote. He declared that he believed his
first papers were all that were necessary.
The testimony adduced by the prosecu
tion tended to disprove this assertion. It
was shown that Weber had made various
inquiries of persons at Gait as to his
rights, and when informed that he was
not entitled to vote, declared his intention
of voting anyhow.
A statement made by Weber shortly
after the election was also used against
him at the trial. It was shown tliat he
had said that I. M. Smith, George Ilet
and Hiram Fugitt, all of Gait, had talked
witii him before the election about the
matter; that they told him "to go ahead
and vote, even it he
HAOTO SWEAK
His vote in, and that they would stand
between him and all danger."
Attorney W. A. Gett, Jr., made a heroic
effort to save his client, but the testimony
was evidently too strong.
District Attorney Ryan, assisted by T.
W. Humphrey, conducted the prosecu
tion.
The jury remained out several hours
before agreeing upon a verdict. When
the twelve men did agree their judgment
was, "Guilty, as charged." But they
recommended Weber to the mercy of tho
court.
______ is the first conviction for illegal
voting in Sacramento County in many a
year.

AMUSEMENTS. |
"The Private Secretary" drew a good
house at the Metropolitan Theater last
night. The people in the play are clever
actors, Mr. Allen notably so. Mr. Dus
tan as the Private Secretary is certainly
an excellent mimic, and his grotesque
make-up is something astonishing. He
interprets the part as the author wishes it
done; that is, that the Rev. Robert Spauld
ing, an English curate, is a hopeless idiot,
a grimacing imbecile, a feeble-minded,
pitiful creature, and still it is expected
that the character will bo accepted, even
in a broad farce, as representative of a
possablo clergyman of the Church of Eng
land still in orders. Hut then, there is no
accounting for tho effrontery of the farce
comedy writer. He assumes to have dis
covered that the people like this sort of
thing, and the moro absurd and idiotic he
can made his "plays" tho better he is sat
isfied. "The Private Secretary" did not
appear so utterly senseless wlien it was
first produced, and this is to be said, and
tlie fact is its own comment, that the piece
has flourished some years, has drawn
everywhere marvelously; .that tho peo
ple go into paroxysms of laughter over
it, and that it is a bonanza for the mana
gerial pocket. There aro in it some
gleams of real humor, some scintillations
of genuine wit, and situations at which
ono laughs, while ho realizes that what
provokes him is the crystallization of all
silliness. The audience lust night was
pleased, for it laughed until it roared and
applauded to the echo. The piece will
bo repeated to-night for tho last time
here, and will doubtless draw a full'
house, as it has done in all cities where
played.

has done a good business all the week,
