Tengg, who appeared for the govern
ment. Mr.. Tengg In his evidence Ad
mitted that the Boegels had left two lots
OF postage stamps with him, one valued

ment was that they were left there for
safety, but that he could use any stamps
OF the same value. He had used some
stamps and had substituted as
agreed. No one had asked him to pay
any debts with the stamps, and If they
had, knowing their position, he would
not have done so. Cross-examined BY
Mr.. Evans, Mr.. Tengg said that the
accused had the reputation OF being hon
est and respectable. He had given SINH
lar testimony to Mr.. Royal. The de-
Tense insisted upon Judgment, and there
being no tangible evidence against them
the prisoners were discharged 10 that
case.

Royal was absent and his principal
witness Carlos Bee and George Gille-
land were not present. The case was
adjourned until 3 O'Clock to allow Of the
attachments for missing witnesses and

INCENDIARI~M.
Bold Attempt to Burn the
Cathedral School.
THE BOYCE SEAMANS CASE.
Burglars and Sneak Thieves at
WOrk-Events in the Crimi-
nal Circles.

Yesterday, about quarter after 10
O'Clock, a dastardly attempt was made to
burn down the Cathedral school, which is
under the manag ement Of the Sisters. The
school is of brick, three stories high, stu
ated on Los Angeles street near the corner
of second street, and directly back of the
Cathedral church. The facts as related by
one of the Sisters are as follows: At a
quarter past 12, the dinner hour, all the
Sisters and children who board at the
school went to the dining-room which is
situated in frame building close by, leav-
ing the school building alone for the time
as had been the custom, but leaving every
thing in good order. OEe OF the sisters for
before the rest were done. She started up
stairs to the dormitory which is
located on the third floor 'front.'
ing on Los Angeles street, and to her
horror she discovered the front OF the. room
was in flames. Quickly calling for help, she
heroically tried to extinguish the fire, which
had been started in pile of old papers and
rags. 1t had communicated to the window
curtains, and then to the wood work around
entirely burning the curtain. After putting
all the fire out general search was made in
every room, but nothing additional was
found until reaching the music-room, on the
found burning, but as it was only a small
quantity 1t did not do any damage. This
showed plainly that it was the intention OF
some one to burn the building but
what the object could be is something beyond
the comprehension Of the Sisters; but the fact
that the miscreants waited until all were
temporarily out OF the building shows the
boldness of the intent. The sisters have nc
suspicious as to why or who could have
made this bold attempt, but they know that
only five minutes before the discovery there
was no paper or rags where the fire waf
found and it was only by their presence OF
mind that they saved the building, Sc
quietly did they do the work that no alarm
was turned in. The loss is trifing, not
amounting to more than $25.

LIGHT-FINGERED GENTRY.
Burglars and Sneak Thieves
Dusily Engaged.

Dusily Engaged.
Mr.. G. F. Smurr, General Passenger Agent
of the Southern Pacific company, had for.
gotten, on Saturday afternoon, to lock the
door OF his room in the Westminster Hotel,
at the corner of Main and Fourth streets. A
sneak thief took the opportunity Of investi-
eating what valuables were lying about
loose. His search was rewarded by finding
a lady's gold watch and chain. The watch
case contained rubies and diamonds, and
was a very valuable one. The burglar, not
satisfied with this valuable jewel, also pock-
eted certain amount of cash, the amount
of which has not been divulged by the loser.
On Saturday at about o'clock in the al
ternoon the house of B. B. Hickenbotham,
Agency, who resides at 67 Cathrine street,
DOminick Tract, was entered by burglars
during the absence of the family. A valu-
able gold watch and q number of trinKcts
were stolen. The total value of the articles
taken away by the burglars exceeds $3.50
Some OIL e was arrested by the police on sus-
picion of having committed the burglary
his incarceration, connecting him with the
crime he will be released to-day.
Sometime age the hardware store of Hoff-
man Il Co on Main street, was entered ana
q number of valuable articles were ab-
stracted therefrOm. Yesterday detectives
Auble and Mckenzie succeeded IN arrestlng
a man named w. Bush, who also re]oices IN
the more respectable cognomen OF Geo.
Mcdonald. Itappears from the statements
of the Chief of Police that the evidence
which has been gathered against Mr. Bush
will probably insure him period OF retire
ment in one of the State institutions at San
Quentin or Folsom.
