The first attempt at stage robbery in this

ever, although it is reported that Mr.. Hob
son had $4,000 with him. which is no
doubt untrue. as Mr.. Hobson would not
carry that amount on his person.
The would-be hard men" are doubtless
very fresh at the business, Judging from
their actions. Nothing very valuable IL
carried in the treasure boxes nowadays
especially on incoming coaches. Their show
for good haul would have been greater
with the passengers, but they seemed Ia
lack the experience and nerve for such al
undertaking. We believe no attempt has
| been made to capture or identify thu
parties.

NEW YORK, December 6.-Mme. Patti
Nicolini arrived from Europe yesterday
with her husband. Nine. Patti never
locked better in her life, and her new
color of hair suits her admirably. 1t is q
dark auburn with slight luster of gold
that varies with the light. With her
dark lashes 1t gives her decidedly more
youthful appearance.
Nine. Patti laughingly said: "You
know 1 sang "Juliet" in Gounod's Romeo
and Juliet in Paris at least dozen times,
and had to make up as blonde. did
not want to wear wig, SO have hair
enough of my own, 80 dyed it. And l
have almost become fascinated with it
myself; but. to tell you the truth, I have
been 60 busy since then that have
never had time to allow it to get to it's
natural color again. And you know that
during the period Of restoration one can
scarcely allow ones self to be seen."
Nine. Patti spoke about her home st
Craig-y.Nos, where che is now building a
little theater capable of seating 800 or
400 people, and which will in due time
be opened by Mr.. Irving and invited
guests. She has already had small
orchestra organized among the people Of
her estate, and with these and mag
ni6cent company which she has organ

occasionally.

A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
The Effort to Keep the Gables Rum
ming Yesterday.

The Effort TO Keep the Gables Run.
ming Yesterday.
There was long and very determined
struggle yesterday on the part Ct Super
intendent Robinson and his employees
to keep the cables in motion all day long,
and with the exception of few short
intervals the attempt was success.
Not enough rain fell to flood the power
houses, but the pits where the cable
runs over the pulleys were in number
of places under water, and serious results
followed. A little after noon it was dis
covered that the cable had slipped of
the pulleys at Jefferson street, whore it
turned to come back, and was in fair
way to tear itself to pieces. The engines
were stopped and q number Of men
cent out to the end of the line.
The cable then had TO be Stacked
and pulled out over the pulleys again.
The mon worked deep down in the pit
under water in a very determined and
heroic style. At last the cable was back
in place and started up again. The next
difficulty was at the corner of Seventh
and Fort where there are a number oi
pulleys on the curve. The mud and
gravel worked into the notch of the
wheel, filling it up so that the cable
slipped off. A gang Of men worked in
this place with crowbars all the rest oi
the afternoon, pushing the cable back
upon the pulleys as often as it slipped
off and trying to keep the wheels clear
The cable made several short stops, but
In the main was kept moving.
The wear and tear on the machinery
and cable throughout the struggle wal
terrible, and it Is doubtful whether tn,
contest can be kept up much longer.
The machinery of the Boyle Height
system was put in order again yesterday
and at no on the cable started in opera
ton. By nightfsll everything was work
ing as well as could be expected.

A Laundry Bill.

Yesterday afternoon at 3 O'Clock ]. F.
Dexter, a hackman, was arrested on Fort

charging him with battery. The com.
plainant is Chinese laundryman named

South Olive street. He alleges thai
Dexter owes him SO so for washing, and
that as the hack-driver evincsd disin.

to call upon him. Accordingly he paid

ing, and presenting his bill, demanded
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-15

an immediate settlement. After ordering
his visitor to leave the pfemiser, Dexter
picked up an iron bar and stuck him on
the head with it.
Dexter denies the allegations OF the
Chinaman, and says that he does not
even know him. On Friday night the
heathen called and presented q bill for
some washing he knew nothing whatever
about, and refused to go out when asked
to do SO, whereupon he (Dsxter) put him
out by force, He denies most emphat-
ically that he ever struck him with an
iron bar.
