The Youthful Thief Again.

Johnnie Mcdonald has, no doubt, had
his name in the newspapers and on the
Police books oftener than any boy Of his
age in the county. 1t will be remem-
bcred that this youngster the is not yet
10 years old) was sent to Jail for Q months
for an aggravated theft Of a watch last
August. His term of imprisonment ex-
PRED ON Saturday last. Yesterday,
two plasterers, who were working on
the new house, at the corner of Hill
and Fourth streets, had gone out for
lunch and when they returned one Of
them found tina. his watch, gold tooth
pick and several little trinkets had been
stolen from his vest pocket during his
absence. Mcdonald and another
little boy had been seen around
the premises. Information of the
loss was lodged at Police headquarters
and Captain Cuddy at once set to work
to recover the stolen property and APP
prehend the thieves. When on his way
to grocery store on Sixth street, where
the boy Mcdonald had offered the
watch for sale, he saw the young
criminal and companion ahead Of
him. These also saw the officer
and they tried to hide the watch under
some leaves on the side of the street,
but the Captain was too quick for them
and recovered the watch. Mcdonald
was arrested and will, no doubt, go
back to jail, which he has occupied
more recently than any enc other per.
son in town.

DR.. 4 Robbins, the celebrated electric
and magnetic healer who lately arrived
in this city, is meeting with immense
success. His rooms are crowded daily
with patients anxions to get the benefit
of his wonderful power. DIR. Robbins
discards the use of all medicines in his
practice and relies solely on the power
Of magnetism. He cures all kinds OF
disease, such as pains in the back, hips,

MARVELLOUS CURE BY MAGNETISM.
The undersigned take much pleasure
in recommending to those suffering with
disease and pain, DIR. 4. Robbins, of
l6S Main street, as genuine magnetic
healer. We have had experience with
healers for 30 years past and he is one
OF the best we have ever met. Mrs.
Glover had been failing in health for six
months and on Jan. 9th was taken
worse with congestion of the lungs and
and complication of diseases. We
called in DR.. Robbins and without ex-
PLANTATION he correctly diagnosed her
case, describing her symptoms. Then
by laying his hands on the affected parts
;nsfonflv raI,arad bar and after thraa
weeks treatment without medicine she
feels better than she has been for years,
and we cannot give too much credit to
the Doctor who by Gods help has done
so much for her, and we know the
power is given him to do the same for
others. Come and see Mrs. Glover at
No. % Fort street and see if this is true.

The understanding Weed.


During the French expedition to Mex
loo Gen. Martroy was informed by a
native that a plant grew in his district
which was largely used in the domestic
surgery Of the Mexicans, and he advised
the General to lay in stock of 1t for
use in the French camp. II goes by the
name Of "the Understanding weed
the exact native word has not been
placed on record. This plant has the
property, when applied after being
chewed or crushed, OF almost instantly
arrcsting the flow of blood from wound.
Gen. Martroy brought home some speci-
mons Of this plant to France, and Guilt
waited 1t in his garden at Versailles.
where it has thriven excellently ever
since, blossoms every year, and produces
sort of fruit. Meanwhile its trans
plantation to European soil has not rob-
bed it of the quality for which it was
originally recommended to its introducer.
Its recognized botanical name is Trades.
canta erecta. Although 1t is quite the re-
verse of an ornamental plant, and is not
distinguished by any beauty of shape or
color in its flowers, it fully deserves, il
we may trust our informant, to be widely
cultivated on account of its rare medical
value. The practicability of its acclim-
atization is now placed beyond all doubt.
Its effect in stanching bleeding is said to
surpass all means hitherto applied to
this purpose, and 1t is in any case to be
procured cheaply and easily. Expert
msnts have been made with it in Vienna,
and the Ncue Freie Presse of that city
advises its regular cultivation for medi-
cal use.

The Rain Yesterday.


The long prayed for rain which CON-
menced about 2 o'clock on Monday after
noon, continued with only short inter-
ruptions up to one o'clock yesterday
afternoon. There were several light
misty showers after this hour, bat the
breaking of the clouds and the peeping
out of the sun towards four o'clock gave
indications of this rain having come to
an end. The verdict on all sides was
that the rain had saved the county
Very few persons came in from the
country and news of the amount of rain
fall could not be learned. The rain
seems to have been copious and general,
however, throughout the county. Up
to S:l5 last evening, 2.0s inches had
fallen, according to the rain-gauge of
the Signal Service office, on Baker Block.
Prof. Rsdway, Of the Normal School,
measured 2.30 by the guage which
has lately been established at the
Normal School hill. II told you
so, was a much abused ex-
preston during the entire day yesterday,
and the entire population of the city
seemed to be absorbed with the one
idea of recalling to one another their
correct prophecies. Each was good-na-
tured enough under the circumstances
to make his nsighbor's tardy prophecies
retroactive. The streets suffered from
the rain and were in fearful condition
all day yesterday. The mud was every
where and even Main and Spring streets
were lakes Of 1t.

San Diego Railroad specnlations.

The editor OF the San Diego Union,
in late issue of that paper, draws the
following glowing picture of the posi-
BILE railroad future of that city of hopes
deferred, based on the fact that two or
three parties OF railroad officials, in
quest of health and recreation, have
been there within the past few months:
We have a very decided opinion that
something is going on in railroad circles
Of importance to San Diego. The fact
that the chiefs Of the Central Pacific,
Union Pacific and Atchison railroads
have found it proper, within very
recent period, to visit San Diego for
'health and recreation, indicates either
very remarkable appreciation of our
peculiar sanitary advantages, or--some-
thing else. We have notion it is
something else" The acquisition of
the California Southern by the Atch-
ison Company carries with it, as mat
ter OF necessity, the immediate extern
sion of the San Diego road to the Nee
dies to connect with the Atlantic and
Pacific, which will reach that point on
the Colorado river from Arizona in April.
Now, we do not believe the Southern
Pacific Company intends to remain an
idle spectator OF this movement. The
Southern Pacific people are the
successors of the Texas Pacific
corporation, and as such possess five
thousand acres of land, and water front
privileges, on this bay--an even one-half
Of the original Texas Pacific lands here.
They also have regularly Incorporated
Company under the name Of the ''San
DISCO and Los Angeles Railroad, which
has been in existence several years,l and
annually elects its full Board of officers.
They are all ready to begin operations
whenever they please. 1t is not improb-
able they will please to do SO very soon.
There is an excellent route for a railroad
from San Diego via Warmers Pass to a
junction with the Southern Pacific at
Dos Palmas; and there is the easily made
extension from Santa Ana to San Diego.
Then the Union Pacific folks don't want
to be "bottled up" and they have very
feasible outlet for them at San Diego.
The road coming through Southern Utah
from Salt Lake could reach the Pacific
here via the Cajon Pass in almost an air
line. In short, San Diego is an object
of interest to the railroad men Just now,
and the fact is pleasant one for local
contamination

ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Almost a Second Tehachepi-A
Freight Train Ditched and the
Whole Train Wreoked-One Man
Killed and Another Seriously
Wounded.

A second Tehachepi disaster was
averted yesterday morning by the barest
Of chances. 1t appears that the south
bound passenger train which left San
Francisco on Monday was nearly one
hour behind time at Sumner. A freight
train, which was also coming south,
learning at Sumner of the amount Of
time tho passenger train was behind,
pulled out from Sumner, shortly after
midnight, to make side track about
five miles below the above named station.
The freight train was going at pretty
high rate of speed in the attempt TO
make the objective point in good timo
and, when four miles this side Of Sum.
ner, jumped tho track. which was COW
cred several inches deep with mud.
Two engines, both en-wheelers, were
pulling the train. Both OF them and
every car except two left the track.
The engineer, whose name could not be
learned, was badly mashed up, having
three ribs broken and being otherwise in
jured. His fireman. named A. w. sproule,
was killed, being horribly mutilated by
being crushed under one of the engines.
The accident, in every respect, was
an unusual and singular one, in
that the jerk OF the two engines
on flying from the track was
so great that both were turned
completely around and headed for the
direction from which they had come.
The balance of the train was a total
wreck with the exception of the last
two cars, which remained on the track.
The passenger train learned of the acct
dent upon arriving at Sumner and laid
over until daylight came and side
track had been built around the wreck,
which was done in nine hours. An eye
witness describes the ruins of the train
as complete, boA-cars lying piled in
hopeless wrecks, one upon another.
Had the luckless freight train waited
over A. Summer for tbe nassenosr train
