Robbed HIS Partner.

The misfortune Of a victim of mis-
placed confidence Is thus related by
the Petaluma Crescent Of the 18th:
Last night a young man Of rather
prepossessing appearance called upon
us and stated that an old friend OF his,
Frederick WILDER by name, at least he
thought lie was an old friend, as they
had travelled the entire district over to-
gether. They were engaged In thresh-
Ing, during the past two months, and
after finishing their Summers work
they put their money In n common
purse, our verdant friend carrying 1t.
They arrived In tho city Of hills all
safe, and after perambulatlng a while,
Frederick thought o cigar would be
beneficial /; 80 he asked Verdancy for
the purse. 1t was furnished, and in a
short time he returned and stated that
he must 20 and see q friend, but that
he would soon return. Moments rolled
into hours, and hours passed into days,
and still Frederick came not. Yer
dancy concluded that his money was
gone, but proposed to mako II des-
perate effort to secure it. So he took
passage back home, and arrived last
night by the steamer Petaluma. AS
500 as he got to this city he went d.
rectly to the depot, and the very first
man he saw. was Frederick. He asked
him to return the money. Frederick
said he had lost all of 1t. But after
considerable eXpostulation on tho part
of verdancy, Frederick said he had $50
left, but that was all, and If he would
give him $3 In silver, why he could
have it. 1t was given, when, upon ex-
animation, it turned out to DO a bogus
piece. Last night a warrant was sworn
out for the arrest Of this Frederick
WILDER, and placed In the hands OF
Marshal Knowles, who proceeded i'm.
mediately to make the arrest; and
Frederick, who has slept In feather
beds, tonight sleeps on an asphaltum
pavement, where he can have all OPP
portunity to reflect upon his past con-
duct. .. -,

Frederick Law Olmstead, in an arti-
clio in The Nation, has pointed out the
defects In Chicago architecture In such
a name that every property owner
and builder, in that city and elsewhere,
ought to profit by the criticisms aud
suggestions. Olmstsad Is a dlstin-
guished architect and civil engineer,
and his Judgment Is Of great value IN
the matters whereof he treats. Visit
ing the ruins Of Chicago after the fire
he was struck with the unusually com
plete demolition Of building walls.
Not more than a dozen buildings IN
the whole burnt district had their four
walls LEFT standing. Everything In
the shape of masonry went down.
This, says the Sacramento Union, Is an
important fact for which the cause
must be sought II the world Is to profit
BY the disaster. The observations OF
all who have visited the ruins OF. Chi
cago arc alike. On one point all
agree. Brick walls only are able to
stand n great fire. Where the ma
sonry Is of a substantial character
made Of brick without IN admlxture
Of stone, or iron, that expands with
heat-it will resist any heat and stand
when the coniagration Is over. The
defects In modern architecture are the
use Of iron and stone that have no
qualities to resist q high temperature.
The limestone which was used In the
most pretentious Of Chicago buildings
was the poorest of all materials for
fre-proof buildings and the use OF
slender pillars Of iron for the support
Of fronts that must soften and give
way when heated to redness was a IA
tai defect. Olmstead objects to the
heavy meretricious ornamentation
Of buildings too common, and
aud the Mansard roofs, which Of late
are coming to be almost univer-
sally condemned by writers on archi-
lecture as fire -catchers and spread
ers. The impression Is sought to be
inculcated by all who have given heed
to the Chicago lesson, that brick Is the
best and most durable material, as
we'll as cheapest, for use In building a
city to endure. There Is scarcely any
variety. Of stone in common use fol
architectural purposes that will stand
fire, but 1t has been employed some
times for Its beauty, sometimes fol
variety, but oftener because 1t wa
more costly and %pretentious, allowing
more elaborate and expensive orna'
mentation, to which strength, soliditJ
and durability have been sacrificed
The paramount Idea In u architecture
has been show, and not Of the right
kind. 1t Is possible to build grandel
structures Of brick than any yet at
tempted, and massive, elegant and ap
propriate cornices may be constructed
Of tho same material. Delicate ant
meretrlcious ornamentation can best
be done In stone and iron, and II the
taste of the builder leads him in the
direction where the use Of brick Is not
possible, other materials car DO en-
ployed in such a manner as not to
damage the walls of the buildings in
times Of great heat, communicate the
flames to the interior or spread them
through the neighborhood.
