LYNCH LAW IN CHINA.
An Unfortunate Thief Burned Alive for
Another Mans Carelessness.

A thief Of Ninghien, near Ningpo
(province of Che-Kiang, Ching called
Lai-t'ow Cscald head) was robbing a
house recently in the village of Cheng-
kiatuan when he was heard by an old
man left in charge of the place, the
owner and his wife being at a
party. The caretaker went upstairs
to look but found no one, for the
intruder. says the London Telegraph, had
hidden himself in the rafters OF the roof.
The watchman then proceeded to treat
himself to solitary pipe, and by some
mischance set fire to the house. The
building burned while the old man slept
on, and the thief came down again to
finish his work, but was alarmed at see
ing the flames, and was making the best
OF his way off when he was caught by
the villagers.
Unfortunately for him, the fire spread
until seventeen huts were burned down.
The lynch law practice in Chinese vii
lagos is very. severe upon incendiaries,
and in the minds of the villagers there
seemed no doubt that in Lai-t'ow they
had caught one red-handed. His appeals
for justice or mercy met With no re-
sponse they tied him hand and foot
with straw ropes, poured lamp oil on the
poor wretch, and hurried him into the
burning mass, where death after few
minutes put an end to his terrible suffer-
ingS.

THE FOURTH,
Some of the Features of the Day S
Parade.

F2IaQe.
The work OF organizing the continen-
tails into companies was commenced on
Saturday afternoon. Companies A and
B were mustered in, and this afternoon
Company G will be organized. There
are a few more vacancies for well-be-
haved boys who desire to join. The
mounted troop is filling up very rapidly,
over twenty boys having already signi-
fed their intention to ride in the process
sion. They will have a cavalry drill
under United States army officer at
the Panorama amphitheater tomorrow
afternoon. The strictest discipline is
maintained considering that most of the
boys have just been let out OF school,
and are, therefore, feeling rather frisl1y.
A few of the unruly ones were fired
out" of the battalion on Saturday
The number of members is confined to
114 being one for each year since 1776.
A noticeable feature of the parade to
be held on the Fourth of July next will
be the rife brigade of the police force, a
new organization OF some twenty mem
bers, armed with Winchesters. The
weapons were purchased by the men
themselves and are not furnished by the
city; but it is not improbable that in
the near future the department will be
provided with an armory, and the mem
bers of the force instructed in the
manual of arms" so that in case of riot
or other necessity the men may be
called upon to do militia duty.

ENGINEERING MATTERS.
Report to be Presented to the City
Council.

The city engineer will report today to
the council that the sewer on Second
street, between Main and Los Angeles
streets, was only proposed because the
street is to be paved. Some of it, if put
in now, will be blind, as it cannot be
used until the sewer on Los Angeles
street is replaced.
He will also present an ordinance of
intention to construct sidewalk on
Main street, between Ninth and Four
teenth streets, and also on Ninth from
Main to Grand avenue. The sidewalks
on these streets had been ordered by the
street superintendent under-a resolution
passed before the Vrooman act came
into effect These orders were called
into question, and the city attorney de-
cided that the work could not be done
under the resolution, but would have to
be done under the Vrooman act. The
ordinances to be presented today come
under the general street law.
The plans for the construction of the
repairs of the Arroyo Seco bridge will
is understood that the plans are a COM
DIOullSc DcUNcSll bllS bWO pIOlpSlulOllS
that caused considerable discussion at
the last meeting of the council. The re-
pairs will probably be made by the
street superintendent.
A number of protests against the con-
struction of sewers in several. districts
will be reported upon. The protest in
the Figueroa-street district represents a
frontage of II .94S feet out of total of
24,025 feet. That in the Pico and Pearl
streets district represents $40 feet out OF
total of Z $3.50 feet. That OF the Hope
street district represents 5,757 feet out
OF total of S,295 feet. That of the Main
street district represents 3,215 feet out
of total OF 1885 feet. That of the
Grandavenue district represents 4,SS2
feet out OF total of 1920 feet. p.
For some time past the city engineer
has been preparing maps to show the
new system of numbering. These will
be presented to the council today.

The New Force Bill.

1t is intended that the southern states
shall send Republicans to congress, no
matter how the people may vote. In
former times this work was guarded by
bayonets, on the plea that the southern
people would violently resist attempts
at free suffrage. 1t is now proposed to
count in Republicans without the armed
aid. This decision is doubtless due to
the politicians fear of the wrath of
northern men who have invested their
money in the south on account of the
prosperity which resulted from Mr..
Hayes's withdrawal of the troops. At
any rate the new scheme is an admis-
sion that the south may be victimized
without fear of a violent outbreak, and
consequently that all recent outrage
stories have been simply campaign in
ventions.-[ Y. World.

In the County Jail.

There were only sixty prisoners in
the county Jail yesterday, of whom four
were women, five offenders of the fede-
raj laws, twenty-five serving time, nine
teen awaiting trial and ten "trusties "
For the past three days not single en-
try has been made upon the register,
and as prisoners are being released every
day on the expiration of their sentences,
the jail is being depopulated very rap
idly. Not long ago it was by no means
an uncommon occurrence for sixty pris-
oners to be incarcerated in each of the
three tanks at the same time, but of late
there has been a remarkable decrease in
criminality in this county.

Vests Fortunate SnecuIations

One of the senatorial poker players is
Senator Vest of Missouri, though it is
hardly fair to mention names in this in
stance. Vest is bright, snappy man,
very popular among his associates, and
every one of them is glad TO hear that
the Missouri statesman has recently
struck it rich.
Two years ago he was worth probably
$4,000 or $15, 1000 Now he could clear
up 1925, 900. He has made this by some
lucky speculations in western mining
properties, which he was induced to go
into by such good friends as Senator
Hearst OF California and Martin Magin-
mis- of Montana. Vest has plenty of
nerve and he put about the last dollar
he had in the world on the say so of his
friends, and luckily it was money we'll
placed.-[NeW York Press.
