BAD SACRAMENTO GIRL.-A San Fran
cisco exchange says: "a charge of arson
was preferred yesterday against Annie
O'Rourke, about 16 year, old, by officer
Boyd. She is charged with having set fire
to the building of the Boys and Girls Aid
Society, on Clementina street. Annie is the
daughter of Sacramento shoemaker, and
about six months ago she ran away from her
home and came to this city, where che en-
gagged herself as waiter in saloon.
Meanwhile her father had also moved to this
city, and, discovering his daughter, entreated
her to return to her home, but as she refused
to do go he had her sentenced to the Industrial
School. Superintendent Dooley Of the Aid So
ciety heard of the case. and was induced to
take the girl on probation, and promised her
SO month to assist the matron of the insti-
tuition. & nnie behaved well until about two
weeks ago, when the mstron became sick and
she was left in full charge of her duties. A
girl named Mary Blaney also came to the
institution on probation from the Industrial
| School Mt this time, and the two girls deter
mined on committing some mischief On the
evening of October 31st they packed their
clothes, and then taking lighted candle
placed it in half-empty tea-box and tried to
| escape. Mr.. Dooley, however, had fOreseen
their attempted evasion, and nailed down the
window of their room, and SO they could not
get out. The fire was quickly discovered
and put out before any damage had been
done. On the LIST instant Superintendent
| Dooley sent Annie to Judge Webb to be re-
sentenced to the Industrial School. Her
father was present and refused to give her
another trial, and wished her sent to the
MsgdAlen Asylum. Although a week has
now passed, the girl is still in the city prison.
Annie says that she originally left home on
account of the prosecutions of her step
mother.
