A Dangerous ThOrOughfare.

1t would seem as if those who have to
attend to the condition of the public
streets pay no attention to them at all.
That such street as Main street, in the
busiest part of the city, just opposite
the Temple Block should he higher by
at least one foot one side of the street
than the other, and that such difference
in the level should be abrupt and precip-
itous, is not only strange but outrage
Gus. The HERALD called attention to
the matter several days ago. On Mon
day wagon fell from the higher level
to the lower one and sustained consider.
able damage. Yesterday similar oc-
currence took place at 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon. In this case, it is true. the
driver, young man in the employ OF
the Cunningham trunk factory, was
drunk, but II the street had been in
proper condition the wagon certainly
could not have fallen down suddenly
from the rail of the street car track to
the asphaltum pavement. 1t the Super
of Streets does not pay atten-
tion to the condition of the street soon,
suits for damages against the ciy Will
be the natural consequences of the
neglect.

SHOE THIEVES CAPTURED.
Clever Arrest of sneak Thieves by
Two Police Officers.

Clever Arrest of sneak Thieves by
| Two Police Officers.
Officer Rogers at half past seven last
night was called in by Mrs. c. Nelson,
who has a second. hand store of First
street, below Los Angeles street, and in'
formed that young man had LETT
three dozen pairs of children's shoes
there for sale, aud that he would call in
again soon. Rogers, who was in uni
form, went to hunt an officer in private
clothes, and when he returned with Off.
Ger Huston they found the young man
counting the footgear. They arrestd
him and brought him to Jail. He gave
the name of George Hubbard, and said
that his father is wholesale butcher in
San Francisco. He pretended that the
shoes had been given him by another
person to sell on commission, and that
he was to get 25 cents on the dollar.
Officer Huston arrested two other young
fellows on Arcadia street, on suspicion
of being connected with the matter, but
Hubbard denied knowing them, though
he made peculiar reassuring sign
one of them when they were confronted
He afterwards admitted to the officer,
that they were the men. There is no
doubt that the three are partners in
crime, and responsible for good many
of the sneak thefts lately committed.
The two young men arrested ON sus.
picion gave the names of Pat Long and
j. Jones, but both names are fictitious.
Pat Long had a slungshot, composed of
round rock tied in silk handker-
chief, in his pocket, and he was booked
on the additional charge of carrying
concealed weapons. Hubbard pretended
to have been engaged in the butchering
business here, and to have worked for
Charles Gassen. He is boy about Is
years of age, and the others are about
as old. If this case is well worked up
a great many other thefts will undoubt-
edly be traced to them. Some OF the
shoes have the strings cut off, showing
that they were stolen from the front of
stores. The Others appear to have
been carried off in bulk, and are sup.
posed to have been stolen from the
Peoples Store.

cussion took place in regard to this

Insane COmmitmen mt.

Anna Goesele, young German wo.
man, married, and the mother of three
children, was brought up from Will
mington yesterday and examined by
Drs. Wise, Seymour and Cochrane, be-
fore Judge Brunson. in regard to her
mental condition. She was found TO be
insane and was committed to Napa.
Several months ago she was examined
here and declared insane, but the COM
mittment was suspended at the request
of her husband. She then believed the
electric mast, near her residence on San
Pedro street, inhabited by demons and
spirits, who gave her no peace except
when she prayed. Her condition, in
stead of amellorating, has steadily be.
come worse, and she was therefore or
dered to the insane asylum.

THE KILGORE TRIAL.
slow Work in securing n Jury
that Knows Nothing.

Ihat hO "
The whole morning session in Judge
Cheney's Court was consumed yesterday
in securing one more juror in the Kill
gore murder trial. At noon there were
still three jurymen lacking. Two of
these were obtained by $3.50, after very
arduous course of cross.examination,
when the special panel was also ex-
hausted. A new venire was then or.
dered to issue for ten more jurors, re-
turnable this morning at 8 o o'clock. The
Jury, as now constituted, consists OF d.
w. Head, Geo. II. Bryan, VIM. Wiley,
Alfred Won kmau, w. NJ. Allison, D.
w. Stanlee, John r. Beck, and A. M.
McCurdy, OF the regular term trial
Jury, and G. D. Witherel, A. Clement
and II. S. Seward of the first special
venire. The Judge, in adjourning
court until morning, especially epjoined
upon the jury the necessity of refrain
ing from conversing with any one re.
garding the case, intimatipg that if dur
ing the trial anything should come to his
ears indicating that his instructions in
that particular were not fully carried
out, he would order the jury to be kept
together until the conclusion of the trial.
The court room was very much more
filled with spectators than on Monday.
The father and several OF the friends of
the prisoner were in court with him.
The prisoner himself was as calm as he
appeared on all occasions since the MUIR
der, when undergoing his preliminary
examin alton.

about 10 o'clock last night they located
their quarry in house on the little
street behind the Pico House. Aguirre
was posted at one end of the street and
Hammel on the other, so as to prevent
Romeo and Juliet from escaping. The
officers then advanced and secured the
runaways. Miss C.. was at once taken
home, but Patterson was locked up in
the county Jail on the charge OF abduc-
tion until yesterday, when he was re-
leased, the parents OF the girl refusing to
prefer complaint.

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM.
A Nearly Successful Attempt "a
Burn the Jones BLOCK.

On the gallery at the back of the
Jones building, Spring street, in which
the HERALD offices and printing rooms
are situated, a huge galvanized iron
barrel is kept In which waste paper and
sweep ngs are deposited. This barrel
yesterday noon stood in its usual place
and was then seen filled with paper by
the city editor of the HERALD. Some
miscreant afterwards removed it into
a little empty storeroom at the back OF
DR.. Clacius office and put the paper in
the barrel afire. As the receptacle
leaned against the wooden partition,
the flames which were very fierce, COM
municated to the woodwork, and had it
not been for the intense smoke which
penetrated into the doctors office and
gave the alarm the fire would soon have
been beyond control. Doctor Claciu',
by promptly throwing water on the
burning stuff managed to extinguish the
blaze before an alarm was given.
