GARROTTED AND ROBBED.
How John Kane OF CazaderO Saw tn
; Chts of the CIty.

How John Kane OF CazaderO Saw the
ghts of the CITY.
John Kane, rather verdant young man,
who gives his occupation as that Of waiter,
arrived in this city yesterday morning
from the little town of Ca zadero. He was
anxious to see a little Of the famed wild
life of San Francisco, and dropped into Nc
Querney's saloon, on the corner of Fifth
and Natoma streets, to discover what phase
of the aforesaid wild life he could run
across there.
The moment he got inside the door his
bright eye fell upon the captivating form
of Miss Aggie Abbott, who was helping the
proprietor to induce his customers to drink
beer. Aggie struck up an acquaintance
with Kane, and when she proposed that
beer in peace, the young man at once fell
in with the project and followed her like q
lamb to the sheafing,
Aggie lei him into the saloon known as
''The New Corner" situated on the inter
section of Fifth and Tehama streets aud
into a back room. Scarcely had he passed
the portal Wien the door was closed behind
him and an arm encircled his neck. 1t was
not the soft arm of Miss Aggie, but the
strong rough arm of a big man, and 1t clung
around his windpipe in that peculiar man
ner known as ''garrotting."
Kane could not call out, but he could use
his eyes, and lie saw three men in the
room. One was embracing him in the very
affectionate way above described, while the
other two deXterously riled his pockets Of
some $40. Then he was given push and
men aud girl fed.
Kane at once repaired to the Southern
Station and reported the robbery, giving
description of the robbers. The police knew
the girl, and last night officers Dillon and
Crockett CAPTURED her just as she was COM
ing out Of tho Vendome House, at 3l7
Third street She was taken to the Southern
Police Station and charged with robbery
and vagrancy. Kane identified her as the
siren who had led him to the despoiiers.
The three men have not yet been caught.

:' The Tariff Bill was then taken up, and
Mcpherson moved to make the rate on eX-
tracts of licorice four cents pound, tue
amendment of the Fna nce Committee being
to reduce it from six to five cents. The
usual political discussion followed, in the
course of which Aldrich said the Mills bill
originally proposed duty of four cents on
licOriCe paste, but when 1t was found that
the men engaged in that business were
Democrats the rate was increased to five
cents.
Vest denied this statement.
McPherS0n'S motion was hnally rejected
by the usual party vote and the committee
mendment was agreed to.

ments to several other paragraphs, but all
were voted down.

THE FRUIT TRADE.
Shortage Of the Eastern CTOp-AUction
Sales Of California Products.

New YORK, July 31.-The Mail and EX-
press definitely places the shortage OF the
Eastern fruit crop at the following figures
for Delaware: There are 9,Sl1,653 peach
trees along the lines of the railroads. Two
thirds are bearing, one-third is young trees.
The crop usually runs from 100000 to
100000 baskets. and 100000 baskets
would not be too large a crop for the NUM-
Der of trees. This year the entire crop is
estimated at 12,375 baskets.
California fruits took big boom this
week IN this market, and a greater quantity
has been disposed of than in any similar
period since the business began. At the
same time it is a bad season for
fruit. The Eastern crop is generally fall
ure. The receipts average hardly more
than 1000 boxes a day. This has
given the Californians a chance and
they have improved it. On Mon
day 5000 boxes were sold at prices much
higher than the average for such fruits.
Ending to-day twenty-Seven carloads bad
been sold here, aggregating about thirty
thousand boxes, principally peaches
and Bartlett pears. Prices were
maintained till to day, when they fell
tremendously, ruling nearly 40 per cent
lower than on Monday. This was due TO
breaks in the Chicago market earlier in tie
week. Chicago was ovtrcrowded with fruit.
WILMINGTON DeL), July Ex-Governor
Biggs has just made an investigation of his
PENN sula peach orchard. There are 70
COO trees OF good age for bearing in this

New York Gets a SCOrGher, With Pros

NEW YORK, July 31.-New York has had
good many hot days this summer, but the
one that came over Staten Island with the
sun this morning was scorcher such as
no Northern city save New York ever eX-
perienced. 1t warmed up during the night
and refreshing sleep was almost unknown.
At daylight the thermometer registered 79'
and at o'clock advanced to SO, and con-
tinued to get hotter. A noon the tube
showed $40 and thermometers shielded from
the sun registered 9l0. AT 2 o'clock the 96'
mark was passed. The sun blazed down
with consuming heat, and the streets wore
the appearance of 4 Southern city.
Several cases of sunstrOke were reported
before noon and some of them will result
fatally. The filthy condition of the streets,
caused by the recent strike in tine Street.

deal of sickness on the east side of the
city, where the heat is probably felt more
than in any other part of New York. The
Signal Service people say that tonight it
will be very hot, and blood heat is not I'M
probable tomorrow. Thousands of people
are fleeing from the city.

The WORKINGMEN.
Threatened Bread Famine Demands Of
Chicago Seamen- Strikes Settled.

CHICAGO, July 31.-Unless Bakers AID
rich and Bremner, whose large establish
ments are part of the American Biscuit
Company accede to the demands of their
striking journeymen bakers 1t has been de-
cided by the Bakers Union to declare the
shutdown of every bakery in the city, iu-
Guiding those who acceded to the strikers
terms. The journeymen see their opp0r-
tunity in the fact that business is and is
likely to continue very heavy. Private fam
lilies, 10 a large extent, prefer to buy bread
rather than bake it, and the Odd Fellows
.Cantons meet in this city next week, which
will cause heavily increased demand for
loayes and rolls. Aldrich and Bremner
have decidedly refused to accede to the
strikers demands, and, if they persist in
their refusal, bread famine seems inevita-
BILE.
An afternoon paper says: Tomorrow
will involve sailors strike involving every
species of sailing craft on the lakes. The
prospective strike is due TO demand on the
part OF the Seamens' Union for an increase
in wages, and that every man on shipboard
under the rank of captain shall be men,
ber of the union.
New YORK, July 31.-After being out
fourteen weeks the strike of the cloak
makers here has ended in victory for the
men. The concessions made by the manu-
facturers are that they will employ only
union men and discharge the non-union
men unless they join the union. The ques-
ton of wages has yet to be decided. A
committee of eight members of the union is
being appointed TO confer with the manu-
facturers concerning the terms.
PITTSBURG, July 31.-The strike at the
National Tube Works at McKeesport, Pa,
was settled at conference this afternoon.
