SACRAMENTO, Nov. 9.—Before the Su- preme Court to-day was argued the last the wayv of the re- uppeal standirg in sentencing of Theodore Durrant for the murder of Bianche Lamont. The appeal was one brought by Durrant's attorneys | after the second sentence passed on him, and was bused on the claim that ad- ditional punishment was being inflicied upon him by the court in ordering bim closely confined in San Quentin prison vending execution and in the Warden having cropped his bair short and having arbed him in prison stripes.

Tue train shivered and then came 10 a stop. The passengers lost no time in getting out of the cars. The track behind them was strewn with pieces of wreckage from the broken freighicars, and the front of the Jocomotive looked as1f it had run into astone wall. Tne rear part of the first car struck was still resting over the piiot, and the forward part was jammed into tne boxcar. When the passengers realized that but for the prompt action oi the «ngineer in reversing the lever and appiving the air- brakes those in the forward coaches might have been killed, they raised a purse and presented it to McCarthy.

At the Methodist Ministers’ Union Dr. Bovard read a paperreviewing Dr. Urmy’s paper on the 25th of last month on “The Millennium.” Dr. Urmy bheld that this was the final dispensation, and that we would not see any more of Jesus Christ on earth, The judgment, he said, is coming on, and we are already in the pathway of eternal life.

California Music Festival Association commenced last night at the Metropoli- tan Temple with the singing of the ora- torio “‘Elijah.” The chorus was a larze one, comprising singers from the Oakland, Sun Jose and Marysville Oratori. societies and the Har- monv Choral Club of this cily. The principal characiers were di-trib- uted among Mad:me Genevra Johnstone- Bishop (widow). Miss Anna Miiler Wood (angel), Rhys Thomas (Obadinh) and 8. Homer Henley (Elijab). Henry Brether- ick was the orgamist, Mrs. L. J. Murdock the pianist, and James Hamilton Howe conducted. The rendition of the oratorio was suc- cessful only in spots. Madame Johnstone was suffering from a throatal disorder that seemed to make it difficult for her o sing in pitch, and several of the soloists’ ensembles were locse and strag:ling. The chorus was fairly well balanced, lacking most in sure-throated tenors. It sang with good volume and considerable precision, considering the length of time for preparation, but it missed many of the finer lights and shades of the music. In fact the performance was duller than 1t would have been under the baton of a more spirited and magnetic director. Mr. Howe seemed not to consider the immense operatic—there no other word for it—pussibilies of “Ehjah.” His reading had little nerve and no exciie- ment.
