paced my room, thinking how terrible
the fright must have been that made her

lief in the unhealthy of these mysterious

"Your turn will come" Van Hoeck
had said to me, and these words coming
back to my mind, asked myself if the
repeated attacks upon Edith might not
be part of complicated scheme to OBJ
tain the diamond.
Such plot was the more possible be-
cause it seemed impossible. An act of

about town. They separated on L street,
and 1t was rather late when the old man
started for the hotel. Just as he reached
the door of the hotel, which was closed, be
was seized from behind by two mep,
who dragged him across the street,
robbed him of his money, beat and
kicked him into insensibility and threw
him down the bank, evidently sup.
p posing they had thrown him into the
river. He lodged, however, upon some
brush and lay partly in the water. Ht

Ter remained with him and nursed hin
tenderly all the time. The police hav

Herrmann's entertainment last evening
proved to be very novel, replete with new
features and thoroughly enjoyable. Herr
mann is himself the prince Of modern
magic He has lost none of his earlier
powers, and has developed even greater
skill than of yore. His Black Art, "
weird and ghostly, is o deception not
entirely new here, but excellently per-
formed and puzzling TO the sharpest eyes.
His Fata Morgana" is really an exhib!-
ton of beautiful colored slides by aid of q
splendid dioptric lantern, with mechanical
attachments and devices by which effects
are produced, dioramic and otherwise, oi
the most satisfying character. There have
never been shown here views that have
been SO admirably worked and that
concealed so completely the mechanism Of
the sliders. Hermann is aided by col.
ored assistant, Madame Hermann and one
other person. D'Alvini is g juggler whose
equal has at no time been seen here
He is level with Hermann in his
skill, though they are wholly dissimilar
He is certainly the most original and skill
| full performer of that class, and at the
| same time the most entertaining of any ",
have had here.

Bishop, the mind-reader, admitted to be
first among all who practice that-what
shall we call it, art2-will appear at the
Metropolitan Theater Monday and Tues
day evenings. He will be assisted by Harri-
son Millard, the popular composer and
vocalist Millsrd is probably as well
known in musical circles as any song COM
poser in America. His Waiting was
alone sufficient TO give him high standing.
Bishop has been so much written about
| that it is scarcely necessary to more than
refer 10 the fact that he is to appear to Sc
cure an audience. 1t had been rumored
| that this remarkable man had shown men
tai falling and physical decline, but Manager
Hall presented Bishop at the Metropolitan
Temple, San Francisco, the present week
with perfect success, and he proved to have
as full possession of his remarkable powers
of mind or muscle reading, or whatever il
may be, as when he set all England puz-

Yesterday afternoon sixteen deck. hands
on the steamer Modoc, which was loading
at the bar below the city, quit work on ac-
count of the heat. Captain Ferrat tried 10
induce them to 90 on with the work, as The
steamer was not half loaded, bat they re-
fused, and he gave them their time checks
and ordered them Oft the vessel. They re-
fused to go, saying that they would not
leave the Moaoc until she reached San
Francisco. Later in the evening Captain
Ferrat sent word OF The situation to Chief
Lae. and asked flr help 10 remove the men,
as he was determined not TO take them to
the Bay.
The Chief and Captain Karcher took 6
posse of Officers and went down to The ber
On the Governor Dana, and brought eight
of the men to the city. The others had
left the Modoc and gone ashore. The
steamer then started for San Francisco
getting off about quarter past o'clock.

Yesterday things were rather quiet at the
State Capitol. Governor Waterman, &C
companied by his daughter, Arma, and
son, James, left in the morning for San
Bernardino county and in consequence the
executive Office will look rather lonesome
for few days. James O'Connor was seen
flying about the corridors in his shirt
sleeves, apparently agitated about come
thing. The reporter imagined that the
" Old Roman had made another speech
on free trade and the same had been wired
to O'Connor and that he was alarmed as 10
the situation. This, however, he denied,
and pointing TO the thermometer on the
wall, which marked 81 degrees in the shade,
| he said, " Look at that and weep
