PIrTsBURG, October S.-Great excitement
was caused in Allegheny City about noon
to-day, by most daring robbery
and the subsequent chase and capture
of two of the thieves. The victim was Gen
eral J. w. Beazell, of Chicago. an instructor
in the detection of counterfeit money. The
robbery occurred in the, lobby of the Post
Office General Beazell had a wallet con-
tanning three hundred dollars, which he
placed on the counter beside him while

opportunity. quickly picked up the wallet
and was making off when Beazell seized
him. A struggle ensued and the thief drew
his revolver and fred at his captor, who re-
leased his hold, allowing him to escape. A
large crowd gave chase and the culprit,
who had been joined by two accomplices,
turned on their pursuers and began firing
their revolvers. The fire was returned, and
for short time there was perfect fusifade
OF shots. Finally two OF the thieves were
cornered and after desperate e., struggle aYIIe
however, got away and is still at large. No
one was shot, but several narrowly escaped.

rhe new York Grape season.

SAN Francisco, October s.--The Bulletin S
New York special says The grape season
is now at its best in this portion of the
country. The supply is enormous and
growers are selling at very low prices. The
most abundant are Concord. Catawba, Del
aware and Malaga. A fruit dealer said to-
day that along the Hudson Valley the sup
ply is greater than it ever has been. He
said she vines are so loaded as to hardly
pay for picking and sending to market
Growers are shipping to all parts CT the
country by boat and by rail. Last year was
a phenomenal season, but from estimates
made In few of the grape growing sec
tions the gross tonnage this fall will exceed
that of 1885 by at least 5000 tons. Most of
the Concords sold in New York come from
the country in the neighborhood of New
burg. There is one tract twelve miles
broad and thirty miles in length which is
nothing but vineyards. Grapes are being
stored in coolers and we shall have this
fruit all winter. 1t ought to be good year
for wine, too as the grapes are very rich in
quality. Delaware grapes ere coming into
market in such large supply that they are
as cheap as the common kinds usually are.

honored and respected citizens. Mr.. James
Lee, of the banking and commission firm of
James Lee & Co.. passed away last night at
1918 O'Clock, after an illness of only four

ceased TO relieve his suffering, and the best
but death had marked him for his own,
and last night he passed away, surrounded
by his family and few friends who were
present. The funeral services of the de-
ceased were held at his late residence on
/ street, at 80 O'Clock this afternoon. and
our citizens attended in large number to
show their respect for a man whom they
had learned to love aud honor for his vir-
tues and honorable and gentleTanly traits
The body was embalmed and win be taken
to Elmwood, Illinois, his old home tthe sad

tions OF respect and regret were rendered

ing the first bank in this town, that of JAS
Lee & Co, of which he was the head. Our
citizens will know the honorable and
STRAIGHTFORWARD course he has pursued since
residing here. He was one of our most hon
ored and prominent citizens, liberal, pro-
gressive, and enterprising. In his death
our young town has sustained great and
irreparable loss, and one we can i'll afford.

Miss Nettie Kipp's Condition

A HERALD reporter yesterday called on
Miss Nettie Kipp, the young lady who was
shot blythe murderer 3aynton, to learn how
much truth there was in the published re-
port of morning contemporary TO the
effect that her life chung by thread" The
scribe was surprised to find the young lady
in the apparent enjoyment of the best Of
health and physical vigor. On being re-
minded of the newspaper note alluded to
she laughingly replied ooh yes. l saw that
little squib. The reporter must have drawn
pretty heavily on his imagination, as un-
derstand certain local reporters do; for my
con iition has never been considered crit
ical. Iu fact, the wound received by me
was neither a deep nor dangerous one, the
bullet being turned aside by steel OF my
corset Had 1t not been for this corset steel
would probably not now be talking to you.
uy prostration for the several days immedi-
ately succeeding the bloody tragedy was
more the result of the shock at seeing my
poor father and Mrs. Baynton shot down be-
fore my eyes than the bullet wound in my
side.'
Miss Kipp is strikingly handsome young
woman and she has been the recipient OF
the kindest attentions from neighbors and
friends throughout her afiliction. Officer
Weed has been assigned to look after her
temporary wants. And, by the way, the
officer seems to take very kindly to his new
detail.

A FRESH STRANGER
who Aches for a Mash and Will
Catch a C0rOner,s Inquest.

There Is fresh stranger in town who
thinks himself masher. and carries this
impression around with him, conspicuous
ly. It leads him to follow good looking
ladies and it will lead him to get thrash
ing from an irate husband that will leave
no doubt in his mind that when he mashes
he gets mashed in return, forcibly and i'm
pressively. Let him read this item aud
change his clothes, general appearance and
behavior or he will have to write to his
aunt, back east, TO come and nurse him,
when male protectors of insulted ladies in
this city are through with him. This fresh
stranger is a tall fellow, well dressed, with
a rather loose Prince Albert coat, and wear
ing glasses. The night before last he pur-
sued well known lady all along Main
street and had the gall to attempt following
her into the Rose Block, where she in
tended to make call ON a lady friend.
The lady was annoyed at the insult and did
not make her call, but ssuntered back up
Spring street with the intention of leading
the fresh Don Juan to the vicinity of the
Nadeau, where she knew her muscular hus-
band could be found. Unfortunately when
nearing the hotel she met lady and gem
tleman who stopped to speak to her and the
barnacled beal, becoming afraid she would
appeal to the gentleman for protection and
that chastisement would be his share, fed
the field. IL he had not taken wafer and
had followed the lady as far as the Nadeau,
his mash would have been a complete sue
cess. He would have got mashed Halter
than buckwheat cake made with a weeks
old batter. But he will try again and a
HERALD reporter. when he next writes him
up, will have the happiness to add the
dudes name.

This hardy little tree, the olive, is always
assigned the ugliest and stopiest and mean
the olive takes kindly to any place you
choose to put him. He takes root from the
slip and grows right along, and in due time
drops his little black and oily apples down
in the tall grass in such abundance that you
can sometimes see the oil spreading over
the rocks and running down and enriching
the soil in the hot sun.
What a country this will be when the
oil We becomes established here as in Italyt
At present it is not abundant. for the olive
is slow grower as compared with other
things here, and so the planters have been
slow to cultivate it. Yet believe that now
trees growing, for there is a great demand,
not only for the oil. but also for the olive it
self.
1t begins to look as il olive oil may take
the place OF butter out here after awhile.
Fancy group OF little children on farm
er's porch, with bresd in hand, dipping It
into a dish OF olive oil. The scene is SO
frequent here that ! asked a woman not
butter on their bread instead.
She answered that her children would
not eat butter II they could get olive oil to
sop their bread in. And l think they are
than once preferring olive oil TO butter
here. And the butter Is of the best. But
anyone who has taste for picked olives.
either natural or acquired. will find himself
Yet never before did find this taste for
olive oil so supreme. Even in Italy and
Spain and Palestine, places where there is
no butter fit to eat, did not care for olive
oil. But this here is so superior to thai of
all other lands that as said before, sus-
pect it may drive out the. use of butter to
some extent. The people here eat their
p,ckled olives with great relish. Tie plate
of little purple olives is ever present on the
table and Is soon emptied. This purple or
black olive is nsw invasion of the old GUS
tom. And just why anybody ever picked
the olive green l do not know. Ger
tainly no one who ever ate a purple
ripe olive would ever est a green one.
Maybe the olive was put up green in Spain
and Italy for better transportation. Be that
as it may, desire to call attention to the
little purple California olive, This oily.
luscious and soft little pickle is a new de-
light for the epicure. And no one who ever
tastes ripe olive properly prepared Will
ever touch one OF the tough. old fashioned
green ones from over the sea. This olive
here is prepared for the table in the sim
plest way possible. They are gathered.

A valuable Accession /.

Prof. +. L. o. ROehrig, formerly Professor
in Cornell University, is visiting Los An
geles. 1t is quite likely that this eminent
scholar will settle in this city or in some of
the suburban towns like San Fernando or
Ontario. where institutions of learning are
growing up that need the services of vet
eran scholar Prof. Roehrig finds some of
his former pupils in Los Angeles and re.
joices to find them prospering In basket and
store. Among the number is Mr.. II. A. Bar
clay, who entertains most atfectiorate re-
gard for the learned professor.
1t is a peculiar feature In University life
that while the student is in school he may
not display the least regard for his profess
sor, and in fact may think him austere and
even unfriendly, but when school days are
over and teacher and pupil meet again in
other lands and in different relations the
most remarkable and affectionate regard
becomes spontaneous in both parties.

Another Coast Railroad.
[From the San Diego Sun.


Colonel A. B. Hotchkiss, the continental
attorney Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, and the sole gentleman entrusted
with its important Southern California
business, arrived by the Santa Rosa last
night from Santa Barbara, and will remain
a day or two before going on to Cotton.
Knowing that the affable Colonel occupied
the most confidential relations with the
three or four men who own the Southern
Pacific, and that he might therefore be able
to throw a flood of light upon the railroad
extension as agitated in the columns of the
Sun few days since, he was promptly in
teryiewed by representative OF this paper
early this morning. The Coloneis state
ports published In the Sun last week. in
fact, as he said himself: The statements
made in the Sun, as read them at Santa
Barbara, were literally true, both as to the
extension from Santa Ana at very early
date, and also as to the route laid out in
this county by the same article. have but

where I was in consultation with Stanford,
Huntington and Gfocker upon this very
subject. 1t was then that Stanford made
the remark now being generally attributed
to him by the newspapers that his
company must look to Southern California
ior It's most important extensions, and he
then made the positive declaration that as
soon as the road now being built between
Newhall and Santa Barbara is completed
the whole force would be at once turned
upon the SantaAna extension into San Diego
county. Mr.. Stanford said that the Calif0r-
mia Southern had left the front door open
into San Diego by building along the coast,
and they would be glad to avail themselves
of this advantageous route, not only in CON
struction but in remunerative business.
thus open to them. The special Southern
California Agent of the Company
was but recently sent to San Die
go to look up the business doing
here. and he reported to headquarters that
1t was impossible to get anything until the
company had their own line into this city.
Your city is to day growing faster than any
place In California, and the Southern Pacif.
ic people are beginning to realize it. and
considering the trifing distance to be built
will not stay out in the cold very long. Yes,
sir, there are from one thousand to fifteen
hundred men at work on the Santa Barbara
line, and as soon as that is finished, which
must be shortly, they will be transferred
down your way, and then look out for live
