How "JAyhawker" Exprsssmen SwiDdle
Arriving Passengers.
Among the passengers who arrived here
on Sunday last from Eureka by the steamer
North Fork was Miss NJ. T. Donahue, a
school-teacher Of Eureka, who is on her
way 10 enter an educational establishment
at Chicago.
When the steamer locked there was the
usual crowd of hackmen. hotel-runners
and expressmen around, all loudly solicit
ing. Miss Donahue engaged the services of
one, and giving him her baggage checks
told him to keep the baggage until Wednes-
day morning and then bring it to the ferry
landing, when she would leave on the
overland train for Chicago.
The exDressman agreed to do as he was
asked, and was paid the fee demanded. On
Wednesday Miss Donahue went to the ferry
landing, but the eXpressman did not ap-
gage; but L. A. Hermann, friend Of the
young lady. who is connected with the Bur-
lington Railroad, informed the HarDor
Police Of the matter.
Sergeant Langford made inquiries, and
soon found that the guilty expressman was
man named Wright, who is known to the
police and the regular runners as a "jay-
hawker." Wright kept away from the ferry
until yesterday, when he was met by the
sergeant, to whom he admitted that he had
had the baggage, but had turned it over to
one OF the transfer companies.
He was told to go after it or he would be
arrested for larceny. In less than one hour
he brought all the lady's baggage and it was
sent after her on the overland train.
Wright, it is said, was until recently a
teacher IN the industrial School.

A sHELL-GAME SHARPER,
How Otto Erdman Was Deceived by tn
Sea Shore,

How Otto Erdman Was Deceived by the
Sea Shore.
While Otto Erdman was strolling along
the beach near the Cliff House yesterday
afternoon inhaling the sea breeze and listen.
ing to the music Of the sounding ocean, his
attention was attracted by the peculiar
movements of modest looking man who
was seated on rock and playing with
several little shells and a single pea. The
man was shuffling the little things about
with deXterlty that was very amusing TO
Erdman. He would cover the pea with one
of the shells, make two or three movements
with his hands, raise the shell, and 10 the
pea was not under that shell but under
another one.
Erdman watched him until he thought he
saw exactly how the modest man did the
little trick, and then he entered into con-
versati0n with him. The modest man
shuffled the shells few times, and Erdman
pointed out the shell under which the pea
repOsed with great success. The man did
the trick little faster, and still Erdman's
sharp eyes detected the hiding place of the
little pea. He became so sure that he
could PICK out the pea every time that he
offered to bet on it. The modest man took
ten-dOllar gold piece out of his pocket
Erdman did likewise, and the little pea and
shell game was gone through with again.
10 his chagrin Erdman pointed out the
wrong shell.
just as the modest man was transferring
Erdman's SO to his own pocket he saw the
blue-coated form of Officer j. G. Maloney
bearing down upon him at a high rate Of
speed. The modest man did not wait to
say Rood-by to Erdman, but took to
his heels, with Maloney in full chase.
The officer saw that the man was gain =
ing on him so he drew his revolver and
fired shot over the mans head, with the
effect of causing him to halt at once. Ma
loney took him to the new City Hall Police
Station, where he gave the name of Joseph
B0rtInan and was booked on a charge of
grand larceny with shell game" in par
enthesis.

SHE'S A FLYER.
The New Cruiser Makes Fast
Time on the Bay.

The cruiser San Francisco, which has
been lying al anchor just to the eousnward
Ur nIIsoion Pnok fJI the past three days,
was out on the bay again yesterday for an
other test of her engines. She left her an
cborage early in the morning and cruised
around the bay all day, going up as far as
Red Rock. AS she steamed by the ferries
all the steam craft blew salutes. to which
the cruiser replied.
On one of the trips back up the bay the
San Francisco ran for nearly one mile with
the steamer San Rafael, supposed to be the
fastest passenger steamer on the bay, and
beat her. She seemed to be flying through
the water, and an old skipper who was
watching her said she must have been max
ing at the least twenty knots an hour. 1t
is expected that the cruiser will take
another spin around the bay to-day, and
will start for the south to make her trial
trips early next week.
On the official trial trip, for every quarter
knot exceeding nineteen the Union Iron
Works, the builders, will receive bonus
of $4,000. 1t is confidently expected by
them that she will make 1891 knots, and in
that case they will receive premium Of

At short meeting of subcommittee on

the following was resolved: Bids will be

The committee will meet bidders at the
Pavilion on Monday, August 18th, at IL NJ,
when all necessary information will be
furnished by the Booth Committee.
The Programme Committee held short
meeting last evening, but nothing in par
ticular was done. A discussion as to the
manner of disposing of the talent of the
day was entered into, and beyond the fact
that there is likely to be too many speeches
and too little music, nothing was developed.

Chinese ConsniracY.

STOCKTON. Aug. Go Sam, the Chinese
merchant whose wife was KIDNAPPED by an
Auburn Constable few months ago, for
which crime the Constable was recently
convicted here, was to-day arrested on q
warrant issued by Police Judge Lawler Of
San Francisco, but was speedily released
on habeas corpus. The warrant shows
that Go Ong is charged with ENLIGHTENMENT
by Fong Tong of San Francisco. A warrant
was sent to Sacramento and came here to-
day with a letter from the Sacramento
Chief of Police saying that Chief Crowley
Of San Francisco wanted the Chlnaman
arrested. To-day a San Francisco China
man named All Gay, who claims to be
landlord at the corner of Spafford alley and
Clay street, appeared at the Sheriff'S Office
iDquirlng about the warrant and offering to
point out c. 0ng. He went with
deputy Sheriff ana pointed out Go Sam,
the merchant, who was taken from his
store. White business men who are friends
of Go Sam learned of the arrest, and soon
had him out on habeas corpus The
Chinaman All Cab was arrested just
before the steamer left this ever
ing for San Francisco on charge
of conspiracy. BE protested against
his arrest and said he came here at the re-
quest of Fong Tong, Chinese restaurant
owner Of S25 Washington street, who
charges that Go Sam embrzZled $3.50 of his
money last February. The Chinaman first
said the amount was sos. Go Sam has been
threatened by highoinders since the
vigorous prosecution Of the kidnapers,
and been warned not to 90 out nights or he
would be killed, He and his friends be-
lieye the arrest was made to get him to San
Francisco, where highbinders could kill
him, as they did his uncle short time ago.

OREGON CENSUS.
More Specific Charges Must Be Made Be-
fore Any Action Can Be Taken.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I'm answer to tel.
gram from the Portland (Oregon) Chamber
OF Commerce, the delegation has tele-
graphed them to make the ch argos against
the Census Supervisors and .enumerators
more specific. Until that is done the de-
partment can take no action in the matter
Representative Hermann thinks that the
older settled State of Oregon should have n
greater population than the newer State of
Washington with Its transient male popu-
latlon, but the census returns show that
Washington has much larger population
than Oregon, while the latter State casts
the larger vote.
Mr.. Hermann says that the enumerators
in Washington counted the crews of sew
enty-ive ships then in the harbor at Puget
Sound. They also counted transient guests
at the hotels. In some country districts of
Oregon the census enumerators were dis
asked for Sc. They made very inconi-
plete canvass, which in many Instances
showed q less number of inhabitants than
the total number of enrolled voters and
school children.
When Senators Mitchell and Dolph and
Representative Hermann called upon the
Secretary OF the Interior to-day he said that
one cause Of Washington's apparent adj
vantage over Oregon in point of population
lay in the fact that Oregon had no rival
cities, such as Seattle and Tacoma. In the
latter places they elected themselves TO
register every inhabitant.
A special agent, who visited Portland
some time ago, reports TO the Treasury
Department that the Oregon and Washing
ton enumerations were careful and accur-
ate, and that Oregon's complaint is Inspired
by Jealousy of Washington's rapid growth
and by Purtland's Jealousy of Seattle and
Tacoma. 1t Is not known yet what action
the Census Department will take in the
matter. The officials are awaiting more
specific charges from Portland.
