A CURIOUS OLD MEXICAN TOWN.

A City where No sound OF Wheels Is
Ever Heard--A Public Laundry.
Fannie b. Ward in San Francisco Chronicle
In quiet Jalapa no sound of wheels Is
ever heard and probably carriage was
never seen here, for these steep streets. as
tiresome as picturesque, were constructed
long before such vehicles had been
thought of. The backs Of mules and
Indians serve all purposes for which cars
are usually employed and horseback
riding is an unfailing delight for some
of the finest views in the world are nb-
tanned from the surrounding hills The
only drawback to unalloyed enjoyment in
these otherwise perfect DAYS Is the fire.
quency Of chiptchipis, as the light driz.
cling showers are called aud even these
are blessings in disguise, for they keep
vegetation perpetually at its grecnest, and
render dust an unknown quantity.
Of all the queer plazas, quaint market
places and charmingly grotesque old
churches it has been my good fortune to
find. those of Jalapa bear off the palm.
All the ancient stone sanctuares have
curiousl9 shaped roofs, with towers and
buttresses, having been built in days when
churches served for forts and plales of
refuge, as we'll as for purposes Of wor

Dream Of the Bann-Burglar.

iCnlcaRO news
"Do you anticipate revival of higher
grades of burglary" was asked of De-
tectige Billy Pinkerton.
"No; it win never occur. The rising
generation of thieves is destitute of the in
diligence necessary to make the exact
plans and the close calculations without
which 1t is foolish to attempt to rob a
bank They are naturally and profess
sionaIly Of grade too low for the bust
ness Then they get no encouragement
from the old timers who are living out of
prison. such men, after serving long
terms. have no heart for stealing. The
best proof of the fact that bank.
burglars no longer exercise much influence
on the fears Of capitalists is to be found in
the fact that our agency has been for
some time arranging for the employment
of lis operatives in other fields SO far as
the bank burglars are concerned, there is
practically, nothing for US to do, and as
the race is rapidly becoming extinct this
feature of our business promises to disap-
pear entirely before long"

AtLoomIs, Temple of Music.

Last night the entertainment given by the 6ood Samaritan temperance organization was a complete success. Early in the evening the crowd began to gather at Loomis' Temple of Music, where the entertainment was held, and before 9 o'clock about five hundred per sons were present. The evening was spent most enioyably and everybody apparently had "a good time." MT. Ed J. Sheehan ren- dered some vocal selections, Miss Fannie Howe officiating at the piano. Landrigan's orchestra discoursed sweet music and large numbers present engaged in dancing. Ice cream, soda water, lemonade and other re- treatments were patronized to large extent and nimble waitresses were kept busy dur ing the whole evening. The committee of arrangements deserve much credit for the admirable manner in which they projected and carried through the really fine entertain ment given by the Samaritans last night

Committee on Sewers.

A meeting of the Committee on Sewers was held last evening, at which the follow ing petitions were considered:
 For sewer in Grand avenue, between Blatchley avenue and Atwater street. Presi- dent Ives of the Fair Haven & Westville horse railroad appeared before the committee and advocated the building of the sewer. He said his company were about to lay double track on the avenue, and if the sewer be- tween these points was laid before the tracks were put down it would save the company a great deal of extra labor.
 William H. Huntley, representing the Grand avenue Baptist church, N. A. Lud- ington, Edward Woodward, Dr. H. J. Ste vens and others appeared in opposition to the sewer on the ground that sewer was not needed.
 In executive session the committee voted to recommend that the petitioners be given leave to withdraw.
 For the petition for a sewer on Clinton avenue, running north to property of Henry L. Clark, H. L. Crawford appeared in favor and no one in opposition.
 The petition for sewer in Cedar street between Broad street and Congress avenue, was favored by Michael Dillon, while several appeared in opposition. The matter was ta- bled for one month.
 The Gamer street sewer extension from Monroe street to Mill river was next con sidered This was recommended by the Board of Health, owing to the fact that the sewer now empties onto the flats and IS det- rimental to public health. Several parties living in the vicinity appeared in opposi- tion, their principal objection being that they would be taxed to help pay for it and they said they were not able to dc this. The matter was tabled for one month.

COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.
Several Petitions Heard and Acte
 UpOn-The Recommendation.

Several Petitions Heard and Acted
 UpOn-The Recommendations.
 Alderman Dickerman presided at the meet ing of the Committee on Claims last even ing.
 Lucy A. Sarvant appeared in support of her petition for reimbursement of taxes paid from 1874 to 1884 on a house in this city, amounting to $257.75. She produced cer- tifcate from Charles H. Brown, overseer of the eastern tribe of Pequot Indians of North Stonington, which set forth that Mrs. Sar- want was member of that tribe, and that being an Indian she was not liable to pay taxes. She testified that her mother was full -blooded Indian and her father was part ly white.
 Corporation Counsel Driscol1 said that the petitioner could have resisted the payment, but having paid the same the Common Coun- cil had no power to reimburse her.
 Ex-Judge Sheldon, who was present, said the petitioner could send her claim to the legislature and probably get redress.
 The committee voted to recommend that the petitioner be given leave to withdraw.
 George L. Yeomans, who is partially blind, appeared before the committee and dSheU COH1peuSdIlOu 1OE ToColf6u from falling into an excavation in front of the entrance to Lincoln rink on March 10, 1885. His claim was that he received se- were injuries including the fracture of two of his ribs. He asked for $500.
 Judge Sheldon conducted the case for the petitioner. After hearing the evidence the committee voted to lay the matter on the ta- ble until the next meeting, which will take place in September.
 William H. Johnson asked for an abat9- ment of taxes on one thousand dollars dat ing back as far as 1880, on the ground of be- ing pensioned soldier. The matter was re- ferred to the joint committee of the town, city and school district to be raised for the consideration of petitions for abatement of taxes.
 When the question of going into executive session was brought up, MT. Sullivan, of the Seventh ward, favored allowing the report CTS to remain. He said they had had enough of these executive sessions. He believed in doing business open and above board
 Councilman Chillingworth moved that the reporters be allowed to remain in the execu- tive sessions and it was 80 ordered
 The petition of Peter Murphy for abate- ment of taxes was referred to the joint spe- cial committee to be raised.

Brown steamed up to Belle Dock at an early hour last evening and landed her precious charge all safe and sound. Selectman Beecher got mixed up with the fish tackle but he managed to undo himself. Councilman Chillingworth got entangled in the boats dredging gear, but he was extri- cated by the genial town agent. few of the party slipped on the boats deck, but were glad to reach terra frma.
