ron, against whom several charges of
forgery are pending and who absconded
few days ago leaving his bondsmen in the
.lurch, was arrested in this city late this
afternoon and lodged in the County Jail.
Damon was arrested in the brick block
at the corner of Broadway an First street,
in vacant room on the third floor, which
he had evidently been occupying for sew
eral days. W hen the two constables who
had tracked him to this place entered the
room, the fugitive threw up his hands and
exclaimed, We'll, the jig is up" and pro-
ceeded at once to the County Jail, where
he made light of his arrest and affected to
treat his capture as joke.
Damron declined to talk about his move
ments since he disappeared last Saturday,
but there seems reason to believe that if he
left the city at all it was only for day
or two. 1t is said that he was
harbored in his home on Washington
street for a day or two. and that
he came to the Redick Block a
few nights ago and secreted himself
there till there should be more prOpitlOus
time for leaving the city. 1t was an au-
dacious scheme, as the block is in the heart
of the business part of the city, where it
would seem difficult to escape detection.
DamrOn's bondsmen are much relieved
over his capture, but they will lose $500
through him, as they offered that amount
for his arrest.

SECOND ARTILLERY.

Muster and Inspection According to
the Book.
The Second Artillery Regiment, Second
Brigade, n. G. c., was mustered and in
spected last evening, and the drill hall was
taxed to its utmost by those in uniform and
their friends among the lockers on. The
battalion mustered almost its enrolled
strength, though its seven batteries are
not much over the minimum in company
membership. The reglmental percentage
will be very satlsfactory-ln fact as regards
this point the race between the three city
battalIons will be very close one this year.
1t was intended by Lieutenant-Colonel
Roster, in command, to have taken the bat
TALON out upon the street for a march IL
review. but the programme was changed,
and instead dress parade in the arm0ry
with the field music was substituted, the
battalion forming on three sides of the hall
with the color company at the further end
and facing the street. The light battery
was not in the parade. The crowded con-
dition of the hall was primarily the cause
that the parade was not the success that it
might have been, though this fact did not
excuse the Drum Major in marching on as
he did and placing himself on the left of
the First Sergeants when reporting to the
Adjutant.
One thing. however, should be stated in
praise of the Second, and that is that an
earnest and intelligent effort was made to
conduct the parade and also the muster and
inspection according to the book, and in the
latter ceremony, even as regards the pre-
liminary calls by the drummerS and buglers.
The manual of arms was not the best as
whole and yet was as good as on either
of the musters OF the other battaliOns. The
brigade staff or to be strictly correct,
two of its memberS-proved the cause of a
long delay and also not a little of grum-
bling. Officers of the staff were detailed some
days ago to conduct these inspections and
because of the unexplained absence of two
OF them last night two companies were left
on the floor to swelter in the heat of
the hall until two obligng officers
could be detailed to muster them,
after completing the task originally as
signed to them. The brigade staff
has little enough to dO-in fact. with a few
notable exceptions, its members have no
affiliations with the National Guard of Cal
ifornia. With fifteen of them to be called
upon, it could seem only reasonable to ex-
pect that at least once in year sufficient
number would be counted upon to conduct
these inspections. Lieutenant Colonel
KOster WAS justified. therefore, in his in
dignation that the men of two of his COM
panes should have been treated in the man
ner that they were-not considering at all
the very poor example set by these two SUI
perior officers. When Lieutenant Colonel
Roster was Assistant Adjntant General of
the brigade, no man had ever TO wait for
him, nor was any one detailed to perform
his duty.

Not many years since nearly the whole of
the country was supplied with morning
newspapers from London. Here and there
indeed, some very respectable prints were
published daily in the great provincial
towbs; but they were comparatively
few, and none were regarded by
their readers as of much authority. Some

had, but taken generally it may be said
Of them without injustice that in rela-

The greater London journals are still the

world. Not that they are the best in every
particular. They are not better written,
not so well written on the whole as some
French and some German journals.

Nevertheless, the difference between
