BALMY SLEEP
Enjoyed on Top of Garbage
Wagon

At 10 O'Clock last night Hugh Moss,
the driver of a swill wagon belonging to
RI. Spears, of Vernon, was collecting
garbage at Jacks restaurant, ON First
street, when three drunken hoodlums
climbed upon the wagon and drove off.
Moss came out of the restaurant as the
wagon started and ran after the trio,
calling upon them to stop, but they
whipped up the horses and galloped out
OF sight. The police were notified, but
found no trace of the missing wagon and
team. At O'Clock this morn
ing, however, r. j. Spears drove
up to the station and announced
that the horses and wagon had arrived
home about II :15 O'Clock, the animals
having found their way by instinct, and
on top of the wagon he had discovered a
drunken man fast asleep. He had driven
back to town to discover the cause of
the strange occurrence and met Moss on
the road, whereupon he brought the
sleeping practical joker along. The
man, who stated that his name was w.
Craddick, was lodged in the city jail
upon the charge of grand larceny pre-
ferred against him by Spears, and when
searched had $50 in cash in his pocket.

AN ABLE EDITOR.
He Can Write and Fight With Equa
Energy,

M. Charles Raskin is the editor re-
sponsible of lie Gaulois, bright French
weekly published in this city. The
Gaulois of the 30th instant gave a de-
tailed account of the editors attempt to
secure deputyship in one of the city
departments for an honest Frenchman, ,
but he failed in it because his candidate
was not of the "prossonerie." In the arti-
Gle referred to occur several paragraphs
which are capable of being construed
against certain individuals. Mr.. Pascual
Ballade and Mr.. Raskin met last even
ing on Main street, about opposite the
Baker block, and a fracas resulted, Mr..
Raskin stating that Mr.. Ballade attacked
him first and that he simply defended
himself with street cane he had. Both
were arrested and taken to the city
prison, and were released on depositing
cash bail. Mr.. Raskin was none the
worse for the encounter save the loss OF
a coat sleeve which was torn off in the
melee

HORSE GOSSIP.
Episodes Which Occurred Yesterday
at the Park.

dL Luc ak.
There was great excitement at the
track at Agricultural park yester-
day afternoon when it was noised around
that Glendine had been taken sick. DR..
Wise was telegraphed for, and the horse
was removed to the residence OF DIR.
Williams. It is thought that the all
ment is of a temporary character, and
that it will not affect his starting in the
2:30 class.
King David also met with mishap
yesterday. He stepped on a nail, and
the chances are that he will not be
started on Monday Steve Stroud had
his horse in fine fix, and it is to be hoped
that he will round too in time to start
in the 3-year-old handicap.
Moses B., Comet, Blackstone, Mid
night and Lathrop Belle will arrive
from Santa Barbara tomorrow. The
three former horses have been trained
at Santa Maria. Moses B. is we'll
known performer, and he is greatly
fancied in the Nadeau hotel handicap.
Midnight and Lathrop Belle are both
two-year-olds, and are owned by Sher-
man and Ferguson, of Santa Barbara.
The Sacramento flyers did not arrive
last night, but will probably get here
today. There is great anxiety among
horsemen to inspect Abb and some Of
the two-year-olds in the different strings
from the north.
The horses will be worked out today,
some for the last time before the meet
ing.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
A Patrolman Grossly Insults Captain
Roberts.

Yesterday morning Captain w. G.
Roberts, of the police department.
tackled up the rearranged list of the men
on the force according to their respec-
tive Watches" as is customary on the
last day of each month, on the bulletin
board at the station, and as he turned
away he remarked iocularly: "Now, l
suppose l had better 60 and spend the
day at Santa Monica" About II O'Clock
this remark recurred to him with con-
siderable force. While he was sitting in
his Office talking to ex-Chief l. w. Davis,
Officer Finucane entered and at once
made vigorous protest against being
taken off the day watch and placed on
the night watch, The captain informed
him that the matter was not
in his hands at all, as after
drawing up the list every month
it was submitted to the chief
for his approval, and that the chief was
the proper person to go to if he had any
objection to make. The matter was dis
cussed at some length by the captain
and his irate subordinate, when the lat
ter made the remark that in any event
the captain knew thas he was placing
HIM under sergeant Morton, man to
whom he had not spoken for two months.
Captain Roberts stated that he was un-
aware of the difficulty existing between
Morton and his visitor, and rose to leave
the room. AS he walked across the cor
ridor to the chiefs office, Captain Rob-
erts remarked: "Morton is as good a
man as you are, anyhow" whereupon
Finucane called his superior officer a
liar. The captains blood was up in a
second, and in spite of the officers
physical superiority, he rushed at Finu-
cane and struck him in the mouth with
his fist. At this juncture Chief Glass
stepped out of his office and grabbed
Finucane, and what promised to be a
desperate atfray was thus prevented.
Finucane was subsequently suspended by
the chief, to await the action of the board
of police commissioners, and during the
afternoon called at the district attorneys
office to obtain complaint against Cap
tain Roberts for battery, and it is prob
able that the captain will be arrested
today.
Captain Roberts, in an interview with
HERALD reporter yesterday afternoon,
expressed great regret at his hasty ac-
tion, though in maintenance of the rigid
discipline necessary on the force, such
an example of disrespect to superior
officer would hardly be taken in cold
blood

AFTER A DECADE.
A Forgotten Wife Appears and
Makes Trouble.

The preliminary examination into the
charge OF adultery preferred against
Jean Delbasty, by his wife, whom he had
not seen for ten years until she turned
up unexpectedly from New Orleans
few weeks ago, was resumed before
Justice Austin yesterday morning and
occupied the attention Of the court
nearly all day.
John S. White and his son. who reside
next door to Delbasty on Also street,
testified to the fact that the defendant,
whom they had known for some time,
always referred to the woman, Marie
Villemeure as his wife, and that they
lived together as husband and wife to
all appearances.
Nine. Marguerite Sardou, who was ex-
amined on the first day of the examina-
ton, was called for cross-examination,
and testified that she was the daughter
of the defendant, and nearly Is years of
age; that she was married on Nav 28th
last, without having obtained her ia
theirs consent; that consequently she
had not been on very good terms with
the defendant since that time, and had
not been to her fathers house. His
treatment of her mother had also con-
tributed to their arrangement. She
knew of their relations before their mar
riage, however, and knew that they CO.
habited as husband and wife.
A. Clements, wood and coal dealer,
had often taken coal to Delbasty's house,
and had heard the defendant refer to
Marie Villemeure as his wife.
Mile. Marguerite Villemeure, daugh-
ter of Delbasty's second wife, testified
that the defendant and her mother oc-
cupied the same room up to the time she
left home, six months ago, to obtain
employment.
The witness created slight sensation
by stating that her mother had called
upon her one Sunday since the case had
commenced and threatened to kill her if
she testified against Delbasty and her
self.
Lucille Raymond, farmer. testified
that Delbasty acknowledged Marie as
his wife on every occasion that he had
seen them.
Joseph Sardou, printer, testified to
having boarded with Delbasty at No.
$50 Also street for several months prior
to his marriage with Delbasty's daugh-
ter, Marguerite, which occurred without
the fathers consent.
At the close of Sardou's testimony the
prosecution rested, and, on motion of
the defendants counsel, the case was
continued until 8 O'Clock this morning.

M'KEAG'S BURGLAR.
Quick Work by an Able Police
Officer

AT 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon Seig-
ment Revolinski, alias Frank Brown,
alias John O. Smith, a Polish gypsy, was
arrested and lodged in the city jail by
Officer McKeag, upon two charges of
burglary, and his capture reflects con-
siderable credit upon McKeag and the
detective force of the police department.
Yesterday morning Chief Glass was
notified that the residence of Mrs. Orson
Brooks, No. 225 Downey avenue had
been burglarized while the family was
at breakfast, at 8 O'Clock on Tuesday
morning, and that a gold watch, chain
and other jewelry had been stolen.
Also that on Wednesday afternoon,
about 3 O'Clock, Mrs. A. Lauth's house,
on the corner of Seventh and Hill

AN ENTERPRISING CONCERN.
The Los Angeles Electric Company In
creases Its Plant

The Electric Light Company gave
reception on Wednesday evening at it's
works on the corner of Banning and Ala
media streets, to celebrate the installa-
ton of its new system of incandescent
lighting. President w. B. Cline, Secre-
tary w. R. Blackman and Superinten-
dent James Warren received the large
number of guests, who thor
oughly enjoyed their inspection of
the complicated machinery. The
building was lighted by the new
lights to the extent of 1,500 lamps OF
sixteen-candle power. The new machin-
cry consists of two splendid dynamos, of
1,500 sixteen-candle-power lamps, and
eleven arc dynamos of sixty-fve lights,
1900 candle power. The engine ca
pacity is 73O horse power. The system
includes seventy miles of wire and
nearly 500 lamps, though 800 have al
ready been ordered.
The use of these lamps has chiefly
been confined to business houses, but it
is likely to become the popular light for
domestic purposes. The qualities of the
light, its safety and non-combustion of
the oxygen in the air, its steadiness and
absolute clearness, all are calculated to
make it in great demand.

seWasn't he suspended from college
because stolen examination papers were
found in his desk? And doesn't that,
coupled with the fact that he was the
only student in his class who received
one hundred per cent, in his studies,
prove him guilty?" irascibly questioned
my fiery-tempered uncle.
'And where can your bonds have dis
appeared TOP" insinuated Willie Steele,
nv college chum, who had accompanied
me home to my uncle's to spend Thanks
giving week.
l started and glanced at Steele; but
his eye quailed before mine and fixed
itself upon the money on the floor,
where my uncle had thrown it to me as
he would have bone to dog. hest
tated moment, bit my lip and said
nothing, though my eyes snapped the
scorn entertained for the insinuation
from my most trusted companion. Then
1 thanked Aunt Roxy and my cousin
Cherry for their faith in my integrity
and stepped outside the door to face the
world and to battle down the unjust sus-
picions fate had fastened upon me on
this, to me, most notable Thanksgiving
eve.
Slowly, sweetly through the clear,
frosty air, over the heads of the gaunt
elms that fringed the village church
yard, came the sounds of voices rehears-
ing hymns for the morrow's Thanksgiv-
bring to me?
My future was shattered; had moth
ing to live for, nothing to hope for
while stigmatized as felon, and so lay
down with my face to the ground and
prayed for death-but death came not.
1t sent its brother, sleep.
1t was morning when l awoke-
Thanksgiving morning. 1 had slept
through the long cold night by the
roadside. The day was an open day,
bright, clear and cheerful-even beauti-
full. felt that could not die.
Then 1 wandered istlessly with ach-
ing head and swollen eyes till heard
paeans woke me to full life and
full sense of, mental and physical
pain. All unconsciously trod the
well-worn path that led toward my
uncle's house, toward the only home
had ever known. / walked erect with
all the dignity of despair, combating
fierce longing to see the fair face of my
dimpled champion, my sweet cousin
Cherry, once more.
While was thus musing and doubt
ing had been nearing an arbor close
by the house. This entered, then sat
down to think. For a time my mind
wandered from my woes and became
absorbed in the engraving of my fair
cousins initials on the arbor seat with
my pen-knife. l even added a heart
pierced with an arrow, and so wrapt
did become IN my empty-headed occu-
patton that failed to hear the approach
of footsteps until voice behind me
whispered:
''Better run that arrow through an
other heart and cut your own initials
under mine.''

up.
