IN HER DUST.
ALIvERY- STABLE KEEPERS CHASE
AFTER A WOMAN.
She Gets Team and Buggy Which May
Turn Out to Be Her Own Property-A
Well-Executed Maneuver.

A large woman seated in a buggy,
fourishing whip, and driving likely
team at break-neck speed, cped down
East First street to the Aliso-street
bridge yesterday evening at about half
past seven.
She left behind her whirl of dust,
and man on horse, who vainly tried
to attract her attention. She looked
not behind, nor right, nor left, but
drove, it may be permissible to say,
for all she was worth.
The man, whose name was B. Ben
nett, lost sight of her, slackened his
pace, and made his way to the sheriff s
office, where he recounted tale of woe,
in substance as follows:
Captain George Tiffany, prosperous
farmer of Los Nietos, a few days ago
drove into town, and left his buggy and
two horses, one bay, the other a sor-
rel, at the Boyle Heights livery stable,
POPS East First street, kept by Mr.. B.
Bennett, the man who kept company
with the female Jehu's cloud of dust.
The captain gave strict orders that the
outfit should not be given up to any one
but himself, and took receipt for them.
Last evening at about O'Clock
rather tall, heavy woman called at the
stable, and said that she would wait for
the captain, who was coming in few
moments. She suggested that as he
would be in hurry, it would be well to
have his horses harnessed so they would
be ready to leave at once on his ar
rival.
Accordingly the bay and sorrel were
brought out and harnessed. The lady
climbed into the buggy and sat there
resting; the telephone bell in the Office
rang, Mr.. Bennett went in to answer it,
the lady grabbed the lines, slash went
the whip, the horses sprang out of the
door and Mr.. Bennett rubbed his eyes
and began to realize that he was minus
a buggy and two horses. Then followed
the futile chase, and his report to the
sheriff.
The identity OF the lady was not clearly
established, yet it is supposed by some
that she was Mrs. Tiffany, who for six
months past has resided at the Clinton
block, and who may have the best right
to the horses and buggy.

"Once More Into the Breach" )"

Even good in this world cannot be
done without struggle, for we urge
ourselves often into doing what is best
for health and comfort, when we could
do the best even without effort. To
convince others and to persuade them,
we should use the arguments which in
fiuence our own judgment. For exam
pie: The ills of suffering humanity
should be relieved promptly and per-
manently. There is but one way of do
ing SO, and that is by procuring the
surest remedy. Some remedies are
good, others are better, but long ex-
perience and undoubted proof point to
only one as the best. There is no ques-
tioning this fact in the treatment of
pains and aches, and when the adver-
tisements of st. Jacobs Oil, which have
commenced for the season their ap-
pearance in the columns of this paper,
catch the eye, the best certainly stands
revealed. The great remedy for pain
holds the confidence of the public, and
has done so these many, many years,
and it is truly worthy of it.

A CLOSE CALL.
Raymond Excursionists Get a Thor
ough Shaking Up.

ough Shaking Up.
The following dispatch was received
last evening"
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov! 22.--The Ray
ran into burning bridge this side Of
the Cajon pass, on the Santa Fe road, to-
day. The engine got across the bridge
safely, but the baggage car and one
sleeper were wrecked, and one car was
burned. No one killed, but the bag
gage master had his hip broken.
The train was due to arrive here at 5
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, but it was
IL :15 last night before the special which
had been sent out from San Bernardino
reached the First-street depot.
General Manager X. H. Wade, in his
special car, arrived with the delayed
tourists, and gave the following state
ment to a HERALD reporter
"The bridge, which was ninety feet
long, was over wash about mile this
side of the summit. The engineer was
running slowly, as he expected to meet
the work train, and as he rounded
curve saw the flames OF the burning
bridge. He threw back his lever and
put on the air. and staid with his en-
gine. 1t passed through the flames all
right, but the rails had spread by the
heat and let the locomotive down on
the ties. The baggage car, and two
Pullmans, however, stopped in the blaze,
but everybody got out all right, and we
got the trunks out safely. Two Pull
mans and the baggage car were de-
stroyed. No one was hurt at all,
except the baggagemasters who was
pushed out of his car by the
porter, who followed and jumped
on him. The man fell about fifteen
feet, bruising his hip but not breaking
any bones."
One OF the tourists gave about the
same account to the reporter, except
that he stated that the travellers in the
Pulimans which were burned lost all OF
their belongings which were in the cars.
except what they had on their persons.
He also stated that ten or twelve trunks
were burned after being taken from the
baggage car.
W. c. Brandon, the injured baggage
master, was taken to st. Pauls hos
pital.

Street Car Manners in France.

The hog claims even the historically
polite France for his own. At discus
sion by the town council of Havre upon
the regulations for city car lines one
member complained that in these days
men sitting III a car never thought of
giving their places to women, even
though the latter might have to stand
outside on the platforms in the rain. He
moved the adoption of a bylaw empow-
ering conductors to compel men seated
in the interior to surrender their places
to women outside Several other coun-
cillors gallantly supported the motion,
but the majority concluded that the
temper of the age would not permit any
such social revolution. The episode has
excited considerable attention in Paris,
where there is general mourning over the
decadence of French manners. - Ex-
change.

Lost Caste.

Some of the high caste Hindus of Bonn
bay have got themselves into trouble by
dining at social gathering with two
ladies, one of whom was DIR. Emma
Ryder, the other the well known re-
former, Pundita Ramabai, who will be
remembered as a recent visitor to this
country. The priests have brought the
offending gentlemen to trial and pro-
nounced sentence against them. For
eating a simple meal with ladies in the
open day these polluted Hindus must
"change their sacred thread" go through
a process of purgation, "bathe in some
sacred tank or river" and do other ridicu-
lous and inconvenient things. Chicago

PHANTOM SHIPS.

forget We were nearing the Cape of
Good Hope. The wind was light and
the weather was thick. That night
when the sun set and the anoon rose, the
mist that hung over the water gave
everything a CHASTITY appearance, and
our spars and sails as we looked aloft
seemed more like those OF some phantom
vessel than things you could take hold
of. There were no indications OF

and there she was, a ship with high bull
warks and towering stern, Of build
like the pictured ships in history books.
Her sails were like clouds, her nasts
and spars like streaks OF vapor. She
came down on us with marvellous rapid
ity. AS she neared us, stepped to the
rail and sang out, Ship ahoy' but no
answering hail came from the deck of
the phantom craft. and, sailing right
against the wind, she passed on, and in
three minutes was lost to sight"
What was it?"
"The Flying Dutchman."
"What is the Palatine light?"
Well, thought every body knew what
that was. You see, in early colonial
times, Block island, off the coast OF
Rhode Island, was inhabited by wreck
ers. A ship called the Palatine, from
the Palatinate of the Rhine, loaded with
colonists, was lured on the rocks by
false lights and then pillaged and
burned by the wreckers. Most
of the colonists were lost. A few
survived, and to this day their decend-
ants-for some of them married the
daughters of the wreckers--are among
the inhabitants of the island. On
cliff overlooking the scene of the wreck
are several mounds called the Palatine
graves, where some OF the bodies that
