CRIMINAL NEWS.
Robbed After Dark By Three
Footpads.
sTEERED INTO A DICE GAME.
A Youth Who Says He Was Robbed
of Fourteen Dollars By
BuncO Men.

The roughs and toughs and gamblers
who have been taking a vacation in Los
Angeles for some time are beginning to
wake up and get down to business. A
lively business has been carried on the
last few days at the Police station, and
an unusual number of criminalities have
been reported. Last night about 10
O'Clock, as H. L. Harvey was returning
from political meeting at the west end
of Crescent avenue, he was suddenly
set upon by three toughs and robbed.
They sprang upon him out of the
dark before he saw them coming. One of
them grabbed him by the throat and
hourished club before his eyes while
the others held his arms. He remained
motionless while one of the men drew
Harvey's own revolver from his hip
pocket, cooked it and put it into his face.
They then went through his pockets.
taking his watch and the small amount
OF money which he had. They then told
him he might go. and kept the revolver
leveled at him till he was out of SIGHT.
At late hour last night no report of
the capture of the thieves had been re-
ceived at the police station.

A Change of Position.

VIM. Clayton, who was removed from
the position which he had occupied for
some time as City Jailer, puts in good
deal of his time wondering why he was
SO hastily bounced. Wednesday evening
one of the TRUSTEES during the time of the
change of jailers from the day to the
night watch ran over to Spring street and
bought some alcohol and some opium.
When searched these articles we're found
on his person. Billy left word that he
would prefer charges against the man
next day, but before he returned to
duty the mans fine had been paid, and
he was liberated. The trusty was a vag
named William Johnson, and he was in
for ninety days. Seventy of these had
been served, and his father came down
and paid the 500 which would liberate
him. There may have been some cause
for all this, but Uncle Billy processes not
to know it.

ANOTHER INNOCENT
Says He Was Robbed at a Dice
Game,

Says He Was Robbed at a Dice
Game.
Yesterday afternoon youth named
Joe Schlay appeared at the police station
and said that he had been robbed of $14
by number of sharpers. He said that
he had been met on the street by man
who conducted him to room on Main
street where another man sat behind the
table. He shook dice and staked his $14
and was informed that he had won 5000,
but in order to get it he would have to
pay $40 more. As he had not the $40 he
went down stairs and met q friend,
to whom he told the circum-
stances: That friend advised him.
to visit the police station and
lodge a complaint instead of taking
back the $40. Later AL Baker was ar
rested and was identified by him as the
capper, and a few minutes afterward
Poker Davis was arrested and was iden-
titled by him as the man who sat behind
the table with the dice. Both these men
were charged with obtaining money by
false pretences and were locked up.
Shortly afterward a man named J. E.
walker put in an appearance at the
Police Station and commenced a CONVEX
| satlon with Schlay, who states that
Walker wanted him to refuse to prose-
cute. Schlay went to saloon on Spring
| street with Walker and while there states
that Walker paid him SIS and told him
to ''let up" on the prosecution. Officer
Bosqui, who was watching the pair,
did not see the money passed, and when
searched at the police station Schlay had
no money on him. A few minutes later
a friend walked in and said he had found
SIS in his pocket which Schlay said he
had slipped into his friends pocket.
Walker was charged with bribery. The
friends of the arrested parties procured
bonds with r. Bilderrain and F. Linde's
names as securities, but Captain Loomis
refused to release the men. Warrants
were then sworn out before Justice
Taney, and the men were then taken
away.

The Board of Health met at the May
or's Office yesterday afternoon. Mayor

New System-A Social Surprise
and Other Events.

A fire alarm was turned in from box 5,
over in East Los Angeles last evening
about half past seven. The building
owned by the East Side Water Com.
pany, and used as an engine house. stu
ated back Of the County Hospital, near
the Mission road, was burned to the
ground. The engine which does service
for East Los Angeles, No. l, was taken
to the spot, but the fire was too COM
pletely under way to be stopped until
the woodwork of the building was con.
sumed. The machinery was plentifully
deluged with water and was not entirely
ruined by the heat. The building was
valued at about six or seven hundred
dollars, an amount which will cover
most OF the loss. A number
Of Improvements had recently been made
in the building and the machinery.
There was no insurance.
During the fire serious accident hap
pened to one of the firemen, named Jerry
Murphy. There were several "carboys"
large iron oil tanks in and near the
building. Murphy was endeavoring to
move one of these when another one ex-
ploded by reason Of the gas generated by
the heat, and a heavy piece of iron
struck Murphy, knocking him down aud
cutting his leg with deep cash and
breaking the small bones of his left hand.
He was taken to the County Hospital,
where he will be compelled to remain for
some time.
At about 10 O'Clock the bell on the hill
struck several different numbers for the
burning of small grocery store on Third
street near Mateo, belonging to NJ. E.
Agen. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Agen were
away from home at the time of the fire,
and the first that was known of it's occur
renee was when it broke out through the
roof. The entire dwelling and it's contents
were burned. There was but small
amount of insurance on both, and the loss
was estimated at about $500.
A small fire occurred yesterday after.
noon at 741 Main street, between Sth and
9th. A student lamp took fire and
blazed merrily for few minutes. A
telephone alarm was wired in and the
Fire Department put in an appearance
but the fire was extinguished without
their assistance.

A Couple of Hackman Spar for

A prize fight took place yesterday
afternoon at Billy Manning's place on
Pico street. 1t was the outcome of a
dispute that arose between two hackmen,
Tom Wren and Charley Grinnell, other
wise known as "the dnde," early yes
terday morning in front of the Elite
saloon, on First street, regarding a load
cf passengers. They agreed to settle the
affair by fisitcuffs and put up $10O for
the victor in addition to the
glories of the fight. Arrangements
were made between friends
of the contracting parties, and about 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, they, in
company with several hackloads of inter-
ested friends and sports drove out to
Manning's place. The men stripped to
their waist and entered the ring to fight
under Queensberry rules. The battle
was short and decisive. II only lasted
for one three minute round, in which
time, Grinnell, by telling work, proved
his superiority and forced his opponent
to cry peccavi. The affair was carefully
concealed from the knowledge of the
police.

A NEW SYSTEM.
Changes Made ON the TWO.HOrse
Car Line.

Changes Made ON the TwO.Horse
Car Line.
A big change in street-car travel was
made yesterday. Some nights ago con-
nection was made with the two-horse
line Oh South Spring street and the one
horse-track on North Spring street by the
side of one of which sets of track a third
rail had been laid as far as Tenn
pie street, so as to accommodate
broad-gauge car. The mode of travel as
instituted is as follows: The two horse
cars bound north go straight down from
South into North Spring street, instead
of turning down First street on to Main
as heretofore. Southbopnd the cars run
as usual, and this now dis
penses with waiting on the
switch outside the Nadeau House
and gives the two-horse run a complete
double track from their Washington
street terminus to the Temple block. A
number of people bound for the S. P.
depot waited in vain along First and
Main streets yesterday, until, thinking
that something had gone wrong, made
inquiries and were informed of the
change.

That Cleveland Button.

Mr.. John Roster called at this office
yesterday in response to an article alleg-
ing that his head waiter had discharged
another Negro named Cloyd for refusing
to doff q Cleveland button. Mr.. Roster
says his head waiter claims that
Cloyd was discharged for Great
ing disturbance in the kitchen
with a fellow waiter named Nor
ton. Charlie Consuello, the we'll known
Gordon blue is said to confirm the state
ment OF the head waiter. Roster states
that he does not allow the politics of his
employees to influence him, and that his
politics and his business do not conflict.
In an evening paper Mr.. Roster speaks
of the HERALD article as being l,belous,
which is the most absolute rubbish.

THE RELIANCE CLUB.
Another Big Meeting Held Last

Night.
About 200 of the 800 members of the
Reliance Club assembled last evening in
Judge Hutton's courtroom, it being the
regular meeting night of this banner
Democratic club. After w. L. Price, the
President, opened the meeting, he called
E. 7. East to the chair. B. A. Rogers
acted as Secretary. The club was then
addressed by eminent speakers. The
first orator was Judge r. G. Bower,
who handled the so-called "Protection''
doctrine of the monopoly Republican,
party in manner that would make the
Grand Old Party wish they had never
used the phrase Protection. Hon. T.
E. Gibbon of Arkansas, then delivered q
most mastery address. He spoke of his
personal experiences among the work.
'ingmen of Pennsylvania and England,
stating that the paupers of Europe lived
in magnificent style in comparison to
the men employed by Carnegie
(Blaine's partner) and other bloated
Republican monopolists, who paid
their laborers sixty cents day
in the coal mines, etc., in the keystone
State. His remarks were received through
out with great applause. Mr.. Gibbon is
splendld speaker, and should pc heard
again soon in this campaign. Judge j.
Marion Brooks advised mode of pro-
cedure to be adopted by the club to keep
in the lead of all other political clubs.
He made motion to the effect that here
after the meetings of the Reliance
Club should be held in open air,
and that grand stand should be erected
in convenient location for that purpose.
A committee of three was appointed,
consisting OF W. L. Price, M. p Snyder
and l. B. Wood, to select a proper site
for the grand stand, to be used exclusive
ly by this club. MIR. Brooks then stated
that he would bear the entire expense Of
erecting the stand, which kind donation
was accepted with thanks. The next
meeting will take place at the new stand
on Friday evening. Notice of locality
will be made in due time. The meeting
then adjourned with three cheers for the
Democratic ticket.

AN INTERESTING LOCALITY.
The Respectable People Complain
of the State of Affairs.


of the State of Affairs.
The respectable people who live on
Mateo street between Fifth and Cincin-
natl, complain in vigorous terms of the
condition OF things which prevails there,
by reason Of the bad behavior of a small
gang of tough characters who have set
tied in that neighborhood. One of these,
Jane Radcliffe, was arrested yesterday
on a complaint sworn out in Justice
Kings court, on the charge of disturbing
the peace. She had used, it is charged,
vulgar and insulting language to two
girls by the name of Morrison, who lived
near her. Her neighbors describe this
woman as "holy terror" and
say she has "more husbands
than the law allows" In the
evening Mrs. Radcliffe's son-in-law took
hand in the scrape by making:an assault,
it is said, on the brother of the two
Morrison girls, who is youth of about
20 in ill health. The report given of the
affair is that young Morrison was
knocked up against fence and menaced
with piece Of iron, but before he was
injured in any way couple of by-stand-
ers rescued him. 1t was from this same
neighborhood that the celebrated "Crazy
Jane" who alternates drunkenness and
insanity was taken week or two ago
and put into the County Jail. She
showed the harmless playfulness of
her disposition while confined there
by kicking all the plastering off of her
room and smashing her bedstead. An
other interesting character from the
same block is Paul Myer, who was ar
rested last Saturday night for beating
his wife in fit of drunkenness. The
people Of the street say that they appear
to be almost out of the jurisdiction of the
police force and that they have to settle
many of the rows which occur by their
own exertions. The locality has bad
name and shows no sign of improving.
much to the disgust of the respectable
people who own property or live there.

A DRIVERS MISTAKE.
Narrow Escape of a Number of
Travellers.

lFAVelcfSs
Passengers on street car bound for
the east side were the chief actors in a
sensational episode yesterday that might
have resulted very tragically. The car
was being driven down San Fernando
street and when near one of the railroad
crossings switch engine was noticed
approaching. The flagman signalled to
the driver to stop, but he misinterpreted
the signal and drove on. AS the
car crossed the tracks a collision
appeared imminent, and most of the
passengers jumped, some of them falling
to the ground receiving nasty bruises.
The engineer, who had noticed the
teamster's mistake, applied the brakes
and succeeded in stopping the locomotive
when it was within three feet of the car.

OFF to San Quentin,

The north-bound train yesterday NOR
ming had among its passengers two boys
aged 16 and II respectively, who were
on their way to San Quentin to eerve .
six months sentence for burglary at San
Bernardino. They seemed to enjoy
their unenviable position rather than
otherwise. thinking it, doubtless, very
fine to be objects of notoriety.
