Observation-Disclosures.
These Litigants Again in the Courts in
A Civil Suit.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock Justice
Lippincott had a couple OF hours OF his
time occupied in hearing the arguments of
the case OF Nellie Farnsworth VS.. j. E.
Leadford. These parties have been figuring
in the Justices and District Court very
prominently since last July, when Nellie
sued James for breach OF promise of mar
riage, which action is still pending. A few
weeks ago she had him arrested for assault
and battery. and he paid his fine. Now
due her as wages. The latter claims, first,
that he has paid plaintiff all the money due
her, and, second, that if there is any bal
ance in her favor it is illegal and cannot be
recovered, on the ground that the business
relations existing between them were
founded upon an immoral basis. The JUS
tice will decide the case Monday.

A BOLD BURGLAR.
He Takes in a Whole Block and Aver.
ages Pretty Well.

About 3 O'Clock yesterday morning Van
orion went home from his work to his res
idence on Granite street, between Wyoming
and Arizona, and in going up stairs heard
q noise as If some one were moving about
the hall. He stopped on the stairs, but all
was quiet. Thinking it was the dog he
walked on up and spoke, but receiving nc
recognition, he lighted a match. There
stood in the hall before him an unknown
man, who Immediately began to make ex-
cuses for his presence, and begging Mr.. Or
ton not to have him arrested. His en-
treaties were complied with and he hastily
departed.
Upon getting up later in the morning and
comparing notes it was ascertained almost
beyond a doubt that the stranger was a
burglar and had taken in the entire neigh
borhood, and particularly the hous adj
joining the one in which Mr.. Orion lives,
and had evidently intended to do up the
latter premises, but had been disturbed.
In the next house he had strolled all around
the place and finally entered
H ROOM OF BEN CALK1Ns,
an employee of A. erik. where that young
gentleman was quietly slumbering, and
there struck a bonanza. In the afternoon
Mr.. Calkins had drawn 500 from the
bank, and using but $50 OF the amount,
he had the remaining $75 in his pants
pocket, while there was several dollars i'll
change in a vest pocket. Happening to
fad the pantaloOns first he took out the
SIS, and being evidently satisfied with the
haul took his departure, calling on the rest
OF the dwellings in the vicinity, as was
plainly seen by his tracks in the now but
no other losses were reported yesterday,
although in two or three instances Dams
had been ransacked.
ANOTHER VISITATION.
Either the same indi Iidual or another OF
the same stripe, visited the lodging house OF
Mrs. Egbert, on Upper Main street, and
paid his respects to some OF the occupants.
The only things missing were in the rooms OF
Ed. Wright, A. W. Buse, James Atkinson,
and a. w. Wyckoff. where the clothes OF
all were rifled OF their contents, but he
found nothing OF Importance except d
watch belonging to Mr.. Wright and a small
bar of silver carried by Mr.. Buse as a
pocket piece; the other to gentlemen had
only small sums ofmoney in their clothes.
AGAIN IN VAUDEVILLE.
On Wednesday evening some sneak made
his way into McDonald's boarding house in
Walkerville, and was looking around for
| something to walk OF with, when he made

! the proprietor, who struck a light just in
time to see his unlimited guest disappear.
Three cases OF this kind in twenty-four

shows that there are shining lights OF the

ST. LOUIS, November 6.-The plot or
scheme was given to the police by John r.
Withrow. conductor on the Broadway line,
who struck when the other men did. He
made himself very conspicuous during fair
week, and was twice arrested, once for as
sault to kill, for which Re is now under
bonds. The police have suspected from his
actions that he knew more about the affairs
and conduct of the strikers than he was
disposed to tell. and by various means
known to the police forced him to confess
what he knew. He made a long and circum-
stantial statement of various points, CIV
ing the names Of his associates, the time,
and place OF their meetings, that their pur-
pose was to blow up the cars and that

Gibbons Out of Reach.

TACOMA, W. T., November 6.-The dam
age by the destruction of Chinatown was
about $25, 900. The buildings were mere
shanties, but a great deal of merchandise
was burned. The houses were fired by the
anti-coolie agitators, who compelled the
Chinese to leave. SO that if they should re-
turn, they would have no hab itation. The
.incendiaries have been manufacturing evil
dence to show that the Chinese themselves
fired the buildings. There were only two
Chinese in the city at the time of the fire,
all the remainder having been driven out the
day before.
MORE TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.
SEATTLE, W. T., November 6.-There is
much disappointment here among the law
abiding citizens over Governor Squires'
proclamation. They asked for troops
and think that troops are absolutely ne
cessary to preserve the peace. The Gov
ernor's proclamation will have no effect.
They say that a conference held yesterday
afternoon between the leaders of the Anti
Chinese organizations, a committee OF citi-
zens and a committee OF Chinese merchants,
the later agreed to leave if they were paid
for their property. One Chinese firm here
has $4,000 invested in property. Last
night a public meeting was held, at which
the Peace Committee and Chinese agitators
spoke. References to the outrages at Ia
cema were greeted with loud cheers. The
city is in a fever of excitement, and trouble
is feared before the end of the week. 1t is
believed by the conservative citizens that
the presence of United States troops alone
will preserve the peace and prevent blood
shed.
ASKING 0 TROOPS,
9 %. m.-The Seattle authorities have
t~elegraphed to General Gibbon, command
ing the Department Of the Columbia, for
troops. General Gibbon is reported at AS
toria and out OF reach of telegraph at this
hour. So far as ascertainable no answer
has yet been sent by the military.
NOTHING DEFINITE.
PORTLAND, Oregon, November 6, 10 p. m.
The Oregouian's special from Vancouver
Barracks, dated $50 p. NJ, says: "It is
not known tonight whether troops will be
sent or not" General Gibbon is at Fort

SAN JOSE MOVING.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 6.-The anti.
Chinese movement for a peaceful expulsion
OF the Chinese is rapidly spreading to other
towns on this coast. At San Jose, Califor-
MIA, last night, the City Council, accompa-
MED by a citizens committee, visited China
town in a body to determine what action
should be taken to abate the Chinese nuis-
ance. At Santa Cruz tonight a meeting
was called for the purpose OF forming an

GAGNON DEFEATED
Another Riot Expected in Montreal Oyer
the Smallpox.

New YORK, November GA Montreal
special says: Montreal is evidently on the
eve of another riot. The forcible removal
OF Gagnon's children to the hospital by the
Mayor and the sanitary officers has evoked
a storm OF indignation from the French pa
pers, La Minerve and lie Monde, in which
Mayor Beaugrand is described as a murder
er and a revolutionary autocrat. Says the
lie Monde: you have no heart, you have
not got the right to maltreat those who
have the honor OF having one. Your inhu-
man and ~barbarous conduct caused the
death of brave Gagnon's child; you are
responsible for this death. Yesterday you
triumphed over the poor n courageous
Gagnon. from whom you took his children
and wife, and whom you have
ROY INTO PRISON
with his children. You are victorious, but
your injustices, your cruelties, your arbi-
tarisms already crush you and cover you
with shame and d~ishonor."
La Minerve goes further and invites the
populace to resist the officers. AS a result,
the Mayor has issued warrants for the ar
rest of NJ. Vanassee, NJ. P, editor OF lie
Monde; NJ. Tasse, Nj. P, editor, and NJ. Get
mas, sub-editor, OF the La Minerve, on
charges OF PERSONAL and seditious libel
against Mr.. Beaugrand in his capacity as

MRS. wALKUP DISCHARGED.
After a Long Deliberation the Jury Says
"Not Guilty"

EMPoRlA, Kansas, November 6.--The
verdict OF the jury in the Walkup cas-
while not giving universal satisfaction, was
received with demonstrations OF delight by
her friends, and many who have given much
attention to the case. When the jury went
out they were evidently divided and re-
manned so for several hours, when one more
changed for acquittal. They then stood Z
to 5 in favor OF acquittal until to-day,
when the five for conviction gave
way, and a verdict OF not guilty" was rem
dered. When Sheriff White informed Mrs.
Makeup that the jury had returned a ver-
dict of not guilty she exclaimed, my God,
is that SOP and her eyes filled with tears;
but when the Sheriff told her she could al
ford to brace up she wiped away the tears
and went with him into the court room,
where she was congratulated. She says she
will not take any OF her husbands prop.
erty. The estate will not amount to more
than $4,000, and her share will but
slightly more than pay the expenses OF the
trial.
