Talk about Thompson's colt, why
that animal couldn't hold a candle to
the fool horse, attached to an express
wagon, that attempted to run away on
Spring street two days ago. After he
had plunged through the mud, from
Third about half block, he went
in up to his shoulders and then con-
cluded 10 stop. That horse had bit.
off more than he could chew. When
he came to a realizing sense of the
contract he had undertaken, and
thrown up the job, he looked about as
stupid as the editor of a Republican
paper wrestling with Cleveland's solid
chunks of tariff wisdom.

THE FIRE BELL.
Destruction of &. 9. Parcels
dwelling House.

G. S. Parcels dwelling house on
the corner Of York and Maple streets
was destroyed by fire last evening
about 7 80 O'Clock. The fire was frs,
discovered by j. D. Crum in the back
room, which was used as kitchen.
The fire alarm was turned in, and by
the time the engines arrived nearly
all OF the contents had been removed.
The firemen were unable to do any
good, since only the Ninth street en-
CINE could be used, as there was but
one hydrant, and that was at the
corner OF Main and Washington
streets. The distance was SO great
that it required all the hose Of
the engine, the Morris vineyard hose
and the hose OF the Volunteer COM
pany, which made distance OF 2l50
feet Of hose that had to be laid before
any work could be done. The fire
was supposed to be an incendiary.
The house was occupied by G. S. Par
cells and his wife. Charles Parcels
lost all of his clothing and some val
liable papers. During the fire, two
guns that We're in the house went of
and caused some excitement. Much
credit is due to the Volunteers, who
succeeded in laying the second line Of
hose.

FRITZ ANSCHLAG.
His Appetite Improves and He
Wants to Get out.

There we're no new develop
ments relating to the murdel
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hitchcock by
Fritz Anschlag yesterday, al
though the detectives were busy il
trying to unearth evidence for the ex
animation, which is set for tomorrow
afternoon before Justice Austin. A
representative OF the HERALD visited
the county Jail yesterday and found
Auschlag in somewhat better frame
of mind. He had recovered his appe
tite and said that he was willing tC
pay for better meals if he could have
them. He asked Mr.. Russell, the
jailor, to get dozen oranges for him.
When asked how he liked his cell
he said that it was too small and
poorly furnished. He said he had
asked Mr.. Russell to give him better
room and expected it would be given
to him soon.
He did not seem to have. much
fear of the consequences of his crime,
for several times he asked, "when are
they going to let me oat? | wish you
would speak to the Sheriff and tell
him to let me CO."
He still asserted that he had paid
Mr.. Hitchcock the $4,000 and when
asked where it was said, | don't
know. l looked for it when went
back to the hause on Tuesday morn
ing, but / could not find it..
When speaking of the killing
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hitchcock he did not
appears to regret it much or to feel
that he had committed a very great
crime. In fact it appeared as ii the
crime had made no impression OH
him at all.
Ja,ler Russell states that he is
keeping constant watch over An
schlag to prevent any attempt at sui
eide and he will have him in conrt
tomorrow in as good condition as ever.
A number of witnesses have been
subpoenRd to attend from Santa
Ana and Garden Grove.

G. A. "a. Esa.ertaina arlent.

pleasant campfire last evening in its
hall on Main street. The hall was
full and standing room was at a
premium. Gov. j. j. Gosper called
the meeting to order and introduced

Miss Stevens, song by Mrs. Dunham,
Lightning dull by III. J. Willhartitz,
song by Mrs. King, speech by Ralph
E. Hoyt, recitation by Miss Mamie
Short, THE OLD Cantine," whicL was

nuts, the hall was cleared and the
party spent the balance Of the eve
ming in the familiar dance.

Uncle Tom at the Grand.

The Opera House was we'll filled
last night by those who desired to see
again the familiar Uncle TOMS Cabin
with its donkey, dogs and plantation
scenes. The company watch pre-
sented the play is good one and the
spacialties are quite novel. The negro
choruses and plantation songs were
very taking and are we'll worth hearing.
''Topsy," eva" and "Marks the
LAWYER" were we'll represented and
the balance of the company was
above the average. The Grand will
be well patronized this week.

An election is to take place in the

name another Democrat who would
we'll fill the place. The friends of
Mr.. John Schumacher are putting
him forward for the position. John
is out of town just now, and his own

macher was born here and has spent
his whole life among us. He owns
large property interests in the ward
He is fam liar with our affairs and
would act intelligently in all matters

MAxwELL's BODY.

Alleged Attempt to Steal the Remains.
The Mysterious Unknown Lady.
ST. LOUIS. September 7.-Au evening
paper says an attempt to steal the body
of Hugh Merriam Brooks, alias Maxwell,
executed for the murder of @. Arthur
Preller, has created quite sensation here
and developed some strange facts. At a
very early hour yesterday morning a
pistol shot in Calvary cemetery attracted
the attention of huckster, Peter Reitz,
coming to the city with load of truck,
and few minutes later a closed vehicle
passed him on the road, the team on a
gallop. Following the team came a man
named John Sharlin, who excitedly in
formed Reitz that the occupants
of the vehicle had attempted TO
steal the body of the murderer Maxwell.
An investigation developed the fact that
Sharlin had been employed and we'll paid
by an unknown but beautiful lady to
guard Maxwell's grave at night. He was
on duty when three men entered the
cemetery and started for the grave of the
little chloroformer. Sharlin fired his pistol
and the men fled. No trace of them has
been found as yet. They left rope at
the grave side. An effort will be made to
learn who the woman is who pays so lib
orally for guarding Maxwelrs grave.
