THIEVING TRAMPS.
They Rob a Chinaman of $50 at
Pasadena.

Pasadena.
Those who were waiting at the Pas
adena depot Tuesday evening for the
train to convey them to Los Angeles
were suddenly astonished by the ap
pearance of Chinaman who, pallid
with fear, rushed on to the platform
as though His Satanic Majesty
himself were in pursuit. AS soon
as John had sufficiently calmed
down to be able to speak dis.
tinctly he made the statement
that he had been "held up" and
robbed OF $50 by two tramps. Ac-
cording to his story they pounced on
him as he was passing the gas works
and demanded his money or his life,
and though loath to part with either,
the Celestial was finally persuaded to
hand over his "trash" in return for
his freedom.
Pasadena is infested with horde
of vagrants who beg by day and
watch and take every opportunity to
steal by night" said boarder at the
Raymond to a HERALD reporter last
night, "and she should do her best
to run them out ere more serious
damage is done than has been already
traced to them. No place is safe
while these skulkers are about, and
although many persons object to car
rying firearms, it becomes almost a
necessity after nightfall, as one never
knows when an attack will be made
by one of these birds of prey"

jumped the train and escaped. Yes
terday he was captured at San Gabriel
and safely brought to the Los Angeles
County Jail. He has been here be-.
fore for stealing one of the mounted
officers horses, which he stated was
done as a lark. Rose stated that the
reason he jumped the tain was be-
cause he was afraid he would be kept
in Jail long time without a trial !;
also that he is not guilty of rape, but
was invited by the woman who ac-
cuses him of the offence into her
tent. He worked in this city four
years ago for w. S. Moore.

Other BurgIaries.

=
Early yesterday morning an attempt
was made to burglarize the spice fac
tory of G. 7. Hanley, 31S Upper Main
street. The back door of the premises
had been broken open by a jimmy
and an entrance made through the
warehouse to the office, where the
thieves bored hole in the safe and
blew it open. The contents were
found scattered about the floor, and
$40 that had been left in the safe over
night taken. A hole about three
fourths of an inch deep had also been
bored into the vault, which contained
a large sum Of money. The thieves
had evidently been scared before they
finished their work, as they left a fuse
and several small articles behind
them.
Some time during Tuesday night
the Elite Market on Olive street, near
Eighth, was burglarized. The bur-
glars gained an entrance through the
back door and ransacked every por-
ton of the shop, taking whatever was
portable, including lot of sausage
They were considerate enough, how
ever, to leave a few coppers in the
till, probably because they did not
know where they could spend them.
Quite number OF citizens in this
neighborhood have been in the habit
of leaving their doors unlocked, but
this will serve them as warning that
no portion of the city is safe from the
depredations of the burglariously in
clined.
G. p. Knight, OF Chicago, had been
in Los Angeles only forty-eight hours
when he lost pair of pants, which
were returned two weeks later. He
reported the matter to the District
Attorney and the police. Tuesday
night he was robbed of his trunk
which was returned by two officeIs
with all the contents gone.

The Peter Bennett Robbery,

James A. Foster and Clarence whitney
were arraigned i'll court in Bangor Thursday
for the murderous assault Oh old Peter Ben
nett of Newport, several months ago and the
stealing OF his treasure from his trunk. Fos-
ter surprised nearly everybody by confessing
bis guilt and pleading guilty. Whitney, the
other prisoner pleaded mot guilty. 1t has
since been learned that for a month past the
affair has weighed heavily OIL Fosters mind,
SO much SO that he lost flesh and was sick, His
sister, who is married lady of influence and
position, has visited him at the Bangor jail
three different times, and at her last visit two
weeks ago. through her influence, he decided
to plead guilty" to the robbery. 4 week ago
his counsel were informed. Foster is "a years
Of age, ard his home and native place is OF
tawa, Canada. His parents are dead. His BUSH
ness was that of clerk in store, but meeting
Whtne. he came under his influence and was
led into crime. This was the first time he ever
was in Maine, and he did not know he was
coming "a hours before he started. On the
sunday night and Monday following the rob-
berry he says he and Whitney STAYED in an old
barn not far from Newport, and it was in this
vicinity that the money was hidden, it being in
Il fish bag of Whitney's. The theory which was
advanced about their course afterWard is the
true one, but the amount of the money, which
was said to be aO,0O0, was greatly eXaggerat-
ed, Foster says. there not being over $40. OOc
he, OF course, knows where the money was
hidden, and it is stated that it has been recoy-
ered. None OF the stolen cash has been used
to defend Foster thus far, but he and his sister
have furnished the funds entirely. Had he
been convicted of the crime the penalty would
have been Imprisonment for life. but his plea
will tighten his sentence. His counsel will ask
that it he made five years. He and his adyo-
Gates, Don Powers and Jasper Hutchins, have
all cut loose from Whitney. The latter is very
angry. At the opening of the court in Bangor
Friday afternoon, Clarence Whitney. accused
of the robbery of Peter Bennett, retracted his
plea of not guilty made Thursday and pleaded
guilty.
A Bangor special to the Portland Press saws:
There is prospect of a warm contest between
old Peter Bennett and the officers who brought
about the arrest of Foster and Whitney, over
the payment of the reward of $1,000 offered by
Bennett for the recovery of the money which
he lost, said to be $4,000 at the time. The
money has been found. and is now in safe in
Bangor, but the difficulty is that there is only
about $780, 600, one-thrd less than the sum alleS-
ed to have been stolen. Now Bennett will claim
that his treasure is not all returned ne is NOT
holden to pay the reward, or at least only a
portion of it. The officers will demand the
whole, and it would not be singular if litigation
arose. By agreement, it is stated, Sheriff
Sylvester and A. D. Horne, who made the ar
rest, and Sheriff Brown of Bangor will share
the reward, the division of it being left to
Judge Peters.

FIRE. Inc nfst real fire since the completion of
the Belfast Water Works occurred "Wednesday
evening" Feb. 22d, in the I1ervey building on High
street. The upper portion of the building was oc-
cupied by Mrs. Adams hair worker, and the fire
was in the attic over her kitchen. The fire was at
first supposed to be in the Wells building adjoin-
Ing and the hose was taken up the stairway of that
structure, but the mistake was soon discovered
Some glass was broken In the Wells building and
slight damage caused by water. When located the
fire was soon drowned out. Hose was laid from the
hydrants corner Of Main and High streets, and the
one near the Court House. The origin of the fire
is a mystery. There are chimneys in the build.
ing, the smoke ues being built in the walls of the
johnson Block adjoining. There was no one in the
tenement at the time, Mrs. Adams having left home
one hour before the alarm was given and was at
her sons on Wilson hill. She had two boarlers
who were also absent. No lamps had been lighted
and the only fire was in the Kitchen The attic was
unfinished, but contained several beds. A quantity
of bedding piled the stairway and the fire
appeared to be in the bedding, which falling down
had burned upon each side of the stairway On
one side of the stairway was small trunk, which
with its contents was partially consumed. In this
trunk Mrs. Adams says were $50 in paper money
which was lost. The trunk was found open and
Mrs. Adams cannot remember whether it was lock-
cd when she last left it. There was no fire below
the attic floor. The building was dcluged with wa.
ter but the damage was not great. A portion of
Mr.. Ilcrvey' stock was removed. Several chronom.
eters were OH the shelves but came out uninjured
and the regulator did not stop, but next morning
was marking the correct time. Falling pastering
from the ceiling broke glass in two of the show
cases, causing the only damage to the stock, which
was otherwise protected by cases. The building
was damaged about $500 and MIR. Hervey's stock
about $50; both insured. Mr.. Hervey began re-
pairs on the building the next morning. Mrs.
Adams had some bedding burned and her effects
damaged by water, but was insured.
This fire demonstrated not only that we have an
abundance Of water for fire purpose but that prac.
tce is necessary before 1t can be used to the best
advantage. Before the hose was in position the
water was turned ON full force and it is said that
the first stream went through front window in the
Wells building, out of back window and wet
down the blacksmith shop Of Jones Davis on WASH
ington street. The engineer ordered part of the
force turned of, but some one in the crowd shout.
ed "tarn on full force" and the hydrantman obey.
ed the latter order. The hosemen were then on
top Of the Wells building and were nearly thrown
OF by the force Of the water. The police have re.
ceivcd orders to arrest hereafter any one who in.
terfercs in this way with the working of the fire
department.
