MULHATTAN LOCKED UP.
The Famous Writer of Fiction Falls Into
the Hands of the Police-He Is Charged
With Robbing His Roommate-A Noted

Inc camouS writer OF F1Ct1On r6ils lhtO
the Hands Of the Police-He Is Charged
With Robbing His Roommate-A Noted
Career.
That famous writer of harmless fakes,
Joseph Mulhattau, better known as "Orange
Blossom" was arrested in this city yester-
day on charge of robbing a roommate OF
S35, and is now an inmate of Central station.
His arrest caused somewhat of sensation
when it became known who he was.
Nearly everyone remembers the wonderful
stories written by him few years ago and
published In the local papers.
He hrst branched out as q sensational lar
about 10 years ago, when employed as
travelling salesman for Pittsburg manu-
1acturing concern. His first effort as an
Ananlas was in sending a local paper
highly sensational description of the demoli-
tlon of a town in the Mahoning Valley by
crowd OF boys with nitro-glycerine. His
next effort was the finding of an immense
natural cave in Kentucky, in comparison
with which the Mammoth Cave was lnsig-
nificant. His delight seemed to be in the
finding of wonderful caves and fossils of
extinct animals of immense proportions.
His descriptive work in this line was so
complete and went into such detail that it
mlsieu people everywhere, ana sauseu
numerous scientific parties to go out to in
vestigate the alleged wonders, only to
find that Mulhattan had perpetrated one
of his practical jokes. Mulhattan, how
ever, never wrote anything ingenious
about anyone. Of late years, it is said, he
has become heavy drinker, and only
short time ago was released from Chicago
inebriate asylum. He came to this city
week ago to visit relatives, but has been
rooming on Second avenue
A young railroader, Patrick O'Toole, was
out having a night with the versatile writer
Tuesday night, and after the saloons closed
they went to Mulhattan's room to sleep.
When O'Toole got up in the morning his
roommate was gone, also s35 of his money.
The police were notified, Mulhattan was
arrested and taken to Central station,
where, upon being searched, the money in
bills of the denominations described by
O'Toole was found in his possession. He
was locked up for hearing this morning,
but declares that he did not take the money,
though admitting the other portions of
o'Toole's story. O'Toole was also locked
up as witness.

Speed Of Local Trains to BE Ouickened.

The new schedule of the Pennsylvania
road will go into effect next Sunday. All
the local trains now stopping at Wilkins
burg will be run to Braddock and Walls
The speed of the trains IS to be
quickened five minutes to Williamsburg and
nine to Braddock. This is a part of the
plan to offset tho competition of the Du-
quesne Traction road, which has taken con-
siderable of the local business since the line
opened to Williamsburg. As stated in The
DISPATCH not long ago, a representative of
the passenger department was here to see if
a reduction of fares would meet the case.
He has made his report, but the company
has not reached conclusion. Lower local
tariffs however, as we'll as faster trains, are
expected. A few changes in the running of
some of the through trains will also be
made

magnificent spectacle, stretching nearly
twice around the track
Quite an excitement was created on the
track yesterday forenoon by a horse at
tached to buggy running away Marshal
Crawford Cox, who is a superb horse
man, caught the runaway by the bride.
and after most exciting struggle brought
him to a standstill. He was loudly
cheered by the thousands of spectators
for his fine exhibition of horsemanship
and nerve.
1t was incorrectly stated in the REcoRp-
UNION yesterday that George Van Cor
den, owner of the horse Del Mar, had
been ruled off the course for the week.
The reporter so understood the announce
ment from the judges stand-but it was
a mistake-it was the jockey who was
suspended. Mr.. Van Gorden is gentle
man who has the confidence and esteem
of everybody that knows him, the State

A FAMILY EVICTED
An Unusual Spectacle Witnessed @
Front Street.

An Unusual Spectacle Witnessed on
Front Street.
There was rather heartless case OF
eviction yesterday afternoon on the river
front.
An Italian named Paladini has for
some time occupied portion of tena-
ment on Front street, between N and o,
but it appears that of late he got in ar
rears with his rent. The owner of the
house, through special officer named
Sheppleman, put Paladini and his family
out into the street yesterday afternoon,
and also their household goods. Pala-
dini's wife is sick and he has six chill
dren. The family had no place to go
themselves or to put their belongings, and
We're compelled to stop in the street.
Paladini declares that he was not served
with notice to vacate the premises, and
that the appearance of the officer was the
first intimation he had that he had to
move.

INTEREST IN TIE FAIR.
1t Is Still Maintained, and Daily
Increases.
Yesterdays Racing, and a Fine Pro
gramme for To-day-Several
Special Features.

People who have come from distant
parts of the State TO attend the fair have
hus far been abundantly entertained,
Aside from the attractive exhibits in the
Pavilion and at the stock grounds, the
directors have supplied many special
features, which have added materially to
the general interest in the fair.
The exhibition announced 10 be given
by the Sacramento Athletic Club com
menced in the playground at o'clock.
1t lasted half an hour that being the time
10 which the club was limited) and was
quite successful affair. The place was
densely crowded and hundreds were
compelled to stand on chairs and benches
In order 10 see the athletes.
The performance opened with very
clever contortion act by Dexter Dunphy
and Master Monte Newbert. Both per-
formers are wonderfully loose-iointed as
well as graceful, and were loudly APP
plauded.
Two sets of boxers next appeared and
made decided shit" Messrs. Tyrrell
and Woods, bantam weights, gave two
rafting rounds with big gloves, and Were
followed by Messrs. Strobel and He'll
bron. They were all clever at the sport
Al. Kleinsorge next gave an exhibition
with the Indian clubs, which won him
liberal applause. He is one of the most
graceful club-swingers ever seen III Sac
ramento.
The exhibition closed with series of
five living pyramids, in which Messrs.
Fischer, Hillebrand, Campbell, AleXan-
der, Strobel, Goepel and the three Yoerk
brothers took part. The feats were all
difficult, yet the young athletes mounted
each others shoulders and heads with an
ease that was astonishing.
The club will give another exhibition
Friday evening in the playground, and
promises even better one than that OF
last night.
THE MUSIC.
The thousands who daily visit the Park
and Pavilion greatly appreciate the splen-
did music afforded at each place by the
First Artillery Band and the matchless
cornet solos given by Signor Liberati, as
is evidenced daily and nightly by the
close attention and generous applause be-
slowed. Conductor Neale and the mu-
sicians are winning new laurels at every
appearance. The programme for this

Confirmed.

The favorable impression produced on
the first appearance of the agreeable
liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs few
years ago has been more than confirmed
by the pleasant experience of all who
have used it, and the success of the pro-
prietors and manufacturers-the Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Company.
