for the preceding four days and number of
continued cases. John Rennick, Mike Brady
Jack Brady, Mike Delaney, John Fay, Jack
Smith and Patrick MCGEE were all charged
with having been drunk on the public streets.
Rennick was rather feeble minded, and the
Court allowed him to go. Fay said he had not
been arrested before for twenty-five years. and
this assertion had the effect of working dis
charge for him.
The Brady family came in for the fines, Mike
being taxed $40 and Jack S.. Delaney failed to
answer when he was called by the Bailiff and
his deposit was declared forfeited.
McGee told novel story. He said he came to
town the othsr day, suffering from a dose of
poison oak. He went to a druggist to get come
medicine, but the clerk there advised him to go
and get drunk on whisky-that poison killed
poison. McGee acted on the advice and landed
in jail. Under these circumstances the Court
discharged the defendant.
The case of Z. Smith, charged with disturbing
the peace, was continued until o.day.
The charge of petit larceny against Ed. Rand

Said to Be at the Bay.

Friends of Chief Engineer o'Meara, of the
Fire Department, say that he has not left the
city permanently, but is in San Francisco, and
that he will probably return in a day or two. 1t
is also said in his behalf tn he told one of the
Fire Commissioners that he was going away for
a time.
First Assistant Engineer Guthrie reluctantly
stated that he knew nothing OF the Chiefs where
abouts, and that he had been ehided by Com
missioner Howard for having kept secret for
several days the fact that Chief O'Meara had
absented himself from his duty.
The Chiefs many friends hope he has not
permanently abandoned the city.

DOWN CAME THE BALCONY.
The Dull Thud of sack of Potatoes did
the Business.

There is one awning less on K street. 1t came
down yesterday with a rush, and now there is
nothing to hide from view the stately front of
]. W. Wilson'S stable, between Third and Fourth
streets. The structure was not taken down by
order of the Street Commissioner, for it had
every appearance of being strong and safe.
A sack of potatoes did the work, by being
thrown from wagon upon the sidewalk near
by. The only wonder Low is that the structure
had not given way before when subjected to
the powerful breath of some one of the booze
laden toughs who hang out in that vicinity.
Although the awning had the appearance of
soundness and strength, it was found that the
posts which held it were absolutely rotten to
the core, the wood having no more adhesive
qualities than so much pulp. The jar of
heavy vehicle beneath it might have brought
it down at any time, but fortunately there was
no person in the way when it fell yesterday.
How many more of these old-time Tookeries,
supposed to be safe. are there along the streets
and liable to fall at the slightet provocation
upon the heads of pedestrians? Yesterday S
revelation suggests the idea that it might be
well for the Building Inspector to take a ladder
and an augur and go about and see how many
awning posts are rotten in the center.

power. Few. if any, are more endowed in that
direction that Miss Davies Mr.. Grismer will
have the leading character, James Carleton, in

achieved fattering success. Miss Della Ma

venile part of Ned. This young lady,

Old Simon, one of the very best of recent ''old
men, parts written into the modern drama.
With Scott Cooper, Clarence Ferguson and Z.

given in manner even superior TO that when

The trial of Miss Nora Wright, charged with
petit larceny took place in the Police Court yes
terday The prosecuting witness was Miss
Mamie McGrath, and the trouble was all about
q ring of the value of some SO. young man
named Utterbach lent Miss McGrath his ring
for a few days, and he has not seen it since.
Miss Mc3rath swore that one evening, about
two weeks ago the Wright girl snatched the
ring from her and ran away with 1t.
Miss Wright claimed that she merely asked to
look at the ring, and after examining il gave it
back Immediately.
1t was evident that one or the other o. the girls
was telling q falsehood and Judge Buckley was
inclined to believe that the defendant had taken
the ring. He stated, however, that he did not
like to find any respectable young lady guilty OF
petit larceny. and wished rather that the ring
be returned to its owner, and the case might
thus be settled.
The verdict will be reserved until tomorrow,
when. if the ring should be returned 10 lis
owner, the charge against Miss Wright Will be
dismissed
