Gibson, was arrested ia the act oI
purloining money from the safe ol
that firm. For some time past the
firm have missed small sums OF
money and, at length, suspicion
was directed to Adams. These sus-
picions were communicated to
Chief Harris, who detailed officers
Sands and Keller to work up the
case. On Friday evening these Of
ficers concealed themselves in ad-
joining rooms to that in which the
sale is located and about O'clock
the young man entered and, after
walking about the room for IA few
minutes, opened the safe aud then
took another turn around the room
whist ing the while to Keep his
courage up, perhaps. He then ap-
proached the safe secoud time and
TOOK out some money. At this juno
ture the officers entered the room
and Informed him that they would
take charge Of him. He was es-
corted to the Hotel Carpenter and
locked up to await examination be-
fore Judge Peel, Oh Monday, on "a
charge OF petit larceny, the sum abb
stracted this time being but So.
One of the coolest robberies we
have ever heard of was perpetrated
at the place of Mayor McDougall,
on San Pedro street, yesterday eve
ming. While that gentleman and
his family were at supper horse
man rode up to the gate, dismount-
ed and, entering the grounds, de-
liberately unscrewed the garden
hose from the hydrant, rolled it up,
carried it QUITO his horse, remounL-
ed and rode off, carrying the hose
with him. The whole proceeding
was witnessed by q Chinese ser
vaut OF the Mayors, who was on
the grounds all the while, but who
did not attempt to interfere unit.
he saw the man packing the prop
erty of, when he yelled at him to
stop, to which the latter paid no
attention and proceeded as if he
were handling his own property.
For deliberate coolness we think
the whole affair unequalled in the
annals of thevery.

The calico dress ball for the ben
eft Of the Ladies' Hebrew Benevo-
lent Society, to come off on the
night of the 18th inst, is the social
sensation in Los Angeles. The
balls of this Society heretofore have
been among the most popular ever
given in the city, and the commit
tee of arrangements, we feel as
sured, will leave nothing undone o
render the coming ball equal to
any that have preceded it. Already
140 tickets have been sold and we
trust this number will be largely
increased, as the treasury of the So
ciety Is sorely in need of funds, the
drafts upon it during the excessive
ly severe season through which we
have just passed, having been un-
usually heavy.
There was an emeute in the Ho-
tel Carpenter yesterday morning.
1t appears that the chain gang had
read in the HERALD the bill of
fare arranged by the Board of Su-
pervisors and they thought that
the grub was not up to the pre-
scribed standard. Seven of the
eleven therefore struck, and were
immured In the black hole. The
other four, not being of the sort
who "knOw their rights, and,
knowing, dare maintain them"
picked up their shackles and
trudged wearily to their daily
tasks.
The advertisement of Miss Ida
Schmidt appears in our New To-
Day" Miss Schmidt will open a
school conducted on the Kinder
garten system on the 1st of April,
at No. 2l3 Main street. She is
privileged teacher of Frnbel's sys-
tenn of Kindergarten instruction
and is, we are reliably informed, q
most accomplished, successful and
erudite lady. We bespeak for her
enterprise the attention of such of
our people as desire to see their
children make rapid progress.
We learn that we were mistaken
in thinking that the first lecture
for the Free Dispensary was not a
pecuniary success, and that the en-
tertainment netted one hundred
dollars. We are heartily glad to
hear this. We also omitted to no.
tice the singing of Madame Mara,
Mr., and Mrs. Tanning and DR..
Corbett. The fact is that we ar
rived late, were obliged to leave
early, and thus were not present at
the vocal exercises which, we are
assured, were of a very high order
of merit.
We direct attention to the card of
the Messrs. Carey g. Fagan, real es-
tate agents at Downey City, which
appears in our New To o.Day. These
gentlemen are thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with every detail of property
in that section. Mr.. Fagan, in ad-
dition, is an experienced attorney
at.law. All business entrusted to
this firm will be promptly attended
to.
