were deprived of the society of couple of col
ored females, who, in all the glory Of Hading
wells and yellow slippers, had condescended to
come down from Washington for the purpose
OF infiicting themselves upon some of their
helpless bucolic relatives. They were met on
landing by fourteen or ffteen-year-old col
ored boy who looked supremacy uncomfortable
in full suit Of good clothes and pair Of
heavy shoes. He shouldered their trunk and
took it up to an ox-cart which stood in the
road; then he came back for them and their

Officer Murphy, Of the East Side de-
tacAsnent, yesterday morning arrested
Joseph Jubsl in the act of piling load
of railroad ties belonging to the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company upon his ex.
press wagon, on the corner af Truman
street and Downey avenue.
When placed under arrest by the off.
Ger, Jubal had confscated thirteen ties,
and when asked to account for their be-
ing on the wagon, he coolly informed the
policeman that ga man must live some
how"
Finding that entreaties were of no
avail, Joseph told his captor that his ar
rest would do him no good and offered
him s. to liberate him. This being met
with frigid refusal. Joseph began to
show fight, and it finally took the COM
bined efforts OF Officers Murphy, Ro-
mans and private watchman to convey
him to the police station.
Jubal was subsequently transferred
across the river and taken before Justice
Austin, to whom he pleaded guilty and
received sentence of fifteen days in the
County Jail for petit larceny.

CALICO MINES.
New Developments Reported In
That District.

New Developments Reported In
That District.
News comes from the Calico district OF
the discovery of new and rich mines in
that vicinity, and unusual activity in
their development, it is said, is to be the
order. The new finds are adjoining the
well-known mines Waterloo, Josephine,
Hebe and Grande. Mr.. R. II. Cole,
formerly of st. Louis, but engaged in the
real estate business in Los Angeles for
the past two years, has just pur-
above mentioned, for which he paid
$4,000. Mr.. Cole, who has just
returned from Calico, speaks in glowing
says that he will fully develop his mine
and will leave shortly for the East to OBJ
tain the necessary machinery for that
purpose. He has procured the services
of Mr.. T. I. Andrews as superintendent,
who is well known on the Coast as an
expert and from his connection with
celebrated mines on the Comstock and
at Eureka, Nevada. Mr.. Andrews is
cries and pronounces them the biggest
plenty of water to work the new loca-
tions and they are handy to the railroad.
Dagget is the nearest railroad point. The
specimens of ore shown the HERALD
representative were very fine and the
assays of ore, as taken from the bucket,
show 40 ounces of silver to the ton,
Will. selected ore has ranged as high as
100 ounces. Mr.. Cole is firm believer
that South California will yet be great
silver producer, and is willing to risk his
money upon that judgment.

store Burularized.

The Chief of Police was notified on
Sunday that the store of w. D. Camp
bell, No. 227 South Spring street, had
peen burglarized on Saturday night, and
show case, containing some valuable
silk handkerchiefs and tray of opals,
valued at $3.50, rifled of it's contents, the
thieves leaving no clue behind as to
their identity. One strange feature ol
the burglary is that, although the show
cases in the store contained innumerable
articles of jewelry much more valuable
than those stolen, not one was missing
when an examination was made. An
other is, that the back door of the store,
which could only have been opened from
the inside, was found to be wide open in
the morning, thus proving that the burg.
lar must have got in through the front
door, and, after relocking it from the in
side, escaped by way of the one in the
rear, leaving it open behind him.

The Bail Fixed at Twelve Hundred
Dollars.

The Ball Fixed at Twelve Hundred
The preliminary examination of the
defaulting railroad ticket agent, Rudolph
F. Kirste, came up in the City Township
Court yesterday afternoon before Justice
Theodore Savage. On motion of Frank
P. Kelly, the District Attorney, the
original complaint was dismissed as
defective. The defendant having been
rearrested on the new warrant, the
examination was taken up. The first
witness called for the prosecution was
Mr.. Chas. T. Parsons, the Ticket Agent of
the California Southern Railroad Com
pany, under whom Kirste formerly
worked. Mr.. Parsons testified as to the
number of tickets which were on hand
when he discovered the shortage; but was
unable to state the amount of cash which
should have been on hand. He also
testified that defendant he'd made con-
fession to him, acknowledging the short
age and signing a document to that
effect. Mr.. Whitehead, the auditor,
who was the next witness, produced a
trial balance sheet with Kirste's sigma
ture ATTACHED thereto. Defendant offered
no evidence on his own behalf. The
Court held him to answer with bail fixed
at the sum of 81 200.

It appears from the evidence, that up
to ten days ago Maggie had been in the

servant; but as Maggie did not suit the
requirements of her mistress, she was
paid off and discharged. However, just
before Maggie lefd the house, Mrs.
Beecher discovered that she had overpaid
the hired girl in the sum of two dollars
and thirty-five cents, but this Maggie
denied and refused to refund.
As Mrs. Beecher insisted on regaining
her lost coin, che refused to allow the
girl to take her trunk out of the house on
