Robert Louis Stevenson, the move

many facts in regard to his personal

Stevenson first came here about eight
years ago to get married. His bride he
had met in France when she was the
wife of a Californian. When Stevenson

Street Distractions Cause Painful Ac-
cident to Citizen.
On Thursday night G. W. Connors, who
is in the employ of Messrs. Maxon & Ack-
ley, was thrown to the ground by the over
turning OF his buggy on Twenty-eighth
street, near N, and suffered bad fracture
of the right shoulder blade The alleged
cause of the accident was pile of mate
rial of some sort said to have been left in
the street by men engaged in repairing the
thoroughfare. The night was very dark,
and there was no light to warn travellers of
the danger.
He made his way to the livery stable
where the horse belonged, and rode back
with the proprietor to find the animal and
vehicle, when their buggy was overturned
by the same obstruction. Corners injury
is said to be very severe.
Late last night telephone messageto the
RECORD UNION from an uptown hotel
stated that two young gentlemen had just
arrived there after having been wrecked on
the same spot. 1t seems they were on their
way to attend party in the country, when
their buggy collided with the obstruction in
the street, and was upset and completely
smashed. The young men were thrown
into the mud and had their clothing ruined,
but fortunately escaped serious personal
injury,

No Secret About 1t.

4 press dispatch from New York says;
Edwin Booths benevolent heart has been
once more imposed upon, and the Post
office authorities are searching for the
swindle-, who, by means of forged letter
purporting to be an appeal for assistance
from Emanuel Lesem, the former stage
director of Mr.. Booth, duped the actor out
of 81 ,000 The letter asking for assistance
was written from Stockton, Cal, during
Booths engagement in San Francisco last
spring. The matter has been kept secIe ct
ever since"
The truth is. the Eastern newsgatherers
are behind the times. The whole affair
came out several months ago, and all the
facts were published in the California pa
pers. 1t remained a secret only SO far as
the Eastern reporters were concerned.

AFTER AN EXECUTOR.
The Daughters of b. NJ. Richmond, De-

The Daughters of ID. NJ. Richmond, De-
ceased, File an Important Petition.
Elina NJ Ferguson and Lucy B. GaulL
have filed petition in the Superior Court
for the suspension of Samuel NJ. Coppin as
executor of the estate of Billings NJ. Rich
mond, deceased. The petition sets forth
that Richmond died testate on the 18th of
April, 1886, in Lassen county, he having up
to that date been a resident of the county
of Sacramento; that said Coppin applied
therefor and was appointed executor of the
estate, he giving bond in the sum of $780,
000, and has ever since so remained that
more than one year and half has elapsed
since the expiration of the time of notice
to creditors, and that he has never rendered
any annual or final account of his admin
isration, as required by law, and has
wrongfully neglected the estate.
Petitioners charge that while acting as
executor said Coppin has loaned large sums
of money belonging to the estate to his
brother-in law, J. r. Catlett and other per-
sons, without order or authority from the
Court They further aver that since his
appointment as executor said Coppin has
" wasted, mismanaged and fraudulently
loaned the property belonging to the estate"
Also, that the petitioners have within the
last six months demanded of him an ac-
counting of the condition of the estate,
which he has refused to do.
Therefore the petitioners pray for an or
der of Court suspending the powers of said
Samuel NJ. Coppin as executor of the estate,
and that letters be issued TO L. L. Lewis as
executor, in his stead.

Suspicious Silence Concerning a World
Famous Dead Beat.

Suspicious Silence Concerning World
Famous Dead Beat.
What has become of Sidney S. Lande-
shut? A few weeks ago the telegraph
wires between New York and this State
were burdened with sensational press dis
patches concerning the whilom Sacra-
mentan and his recent swindling oper-
atoms in the Empire City.
While his operations were furnishing the
newspapers with columns of interesting
matter daily, a citizen of this city wrote to
Inspector Byrne, of New York, informing
him of Landeshutt's career on this coast
and of the fact (of which the New York
papers were not ALVAREZ that he was wanted
in Melbourne, Australia, for series Of gil
gantic forgeries committed there a year
ago, the particulars of which were pub
lished in the RECORD UNION at the time,
taken from Melbourne paper.
After that letter had time to reach New
York no more was heard of Landeshutt,
and not word has since come over the
wires concerning him. 1t looks as if he
may have been Gagged, and that the de-
tectives are looking up the matter of the
amounts of the rewards to be had for the
slippery little fellows return to the An
tipodes. When these are ascertained we
shall probably hear an interesting story of
how the detectives had followed the noto-
rious rascal sill over the world and finally
caught him.
