GOOD DETECTIVE WORK.
The Arrest of a Supposed Gang o
Burglars.

Burglars.
The hardware store of Browning &
Phillips, on the East Side, was burglar
lied early yesterday morning, and goods
to the value of 5000 stolen. The door
was pried open after having cut panel
out OF the door.
The safe at the office of the Union
Lime company at 359 East. Second
street was also pried open. 1t was
a little, old fashioned safe, and in
consequence no money was kept there.
The operators were only rewarded with
five dollars worth of stamps for their en-
terprise.
Detectives Auble and Bowler were
detailed to work on the case early yes
terday morning. They soon struck a
clue and succeeded in arresting two
men for the East Los Angeles job. A
young man who gave the name OF Billy
Bostick was arrested in the aftern oon
on San Fernando street. Late last night
Detectives Bowler and Auble and Officer
Romans captured Henry o. Carter on
Walnut street. The officers succeeded
in recovering nearly all the goods stolen
from the hardware store and claim that
they have strong case against the men
under arrest.

graduated in 1867 at the age of sixteen. He
spent two years at Trinity college, Hart
ford, and entered West Point in 1862 He
graduated from that institution in 1873,
and was assigned as lieutenant to the
Fourth artillery, which is his present regi-
ment.
Lieutenant Totten was confirmed into
the Episcopal church by Bishop Williams
at the age of thirteen. During his youth,
however, he was materialistic in his views,
but as his mind expanded he became self
convinced and avowed Christian. He ac-
cepts the Bible literally, and believes as
firmly in Moses and the prophets as he does
in Christ and the apostles. His calculation
of the exact date of the conjunction which
fixed Joshua's long day" has brought his
name prominently before the theological
world.
Lieutenant Totten has distinguished
record as an inventor, as well as Biblical
expounder. He is the author of 'Strate-
gos," the American game Of war, which
received the Endorsement of men like Won
Moltke, Wolseley and Bollinger. He is
also well known contributor of scientific
articles to the magazines and professor
of Yale university.
The picture of Lieutenant To$ken given
herewith is reproduced by courtesy of the
proprietors of Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper, who are Lieutenant Totten's
publishers.

HINTON'S COLLECTION.
He Paralyzes the Cashier of the
Security Bank.

He Paralyzes the Cashier of the
Security Bank.
Late yesterday afternoon 1t was re-
ported that City Assessor Hinton had
collected portion Of the taxes in very
effective and expeditions manuer. The
story as told the HERALD reporter is as
follows: 9n
Mr.. Hinton entered the Security Saw
ings bank, which is one of those which
has disputed the tax assessment, and
made formal demand for the taxes,
which was refused, whereupon Mr.. Hin
ton remarked; "Well, gentlemen, in
the case of refusal to pay taxes, the
law empowers me to levy upon any prop
erty in sight, so I shall do my duty"
He then passed behind the counter,
counted out $24O0 in cash, laid
down his receipt for the amount and
carried it off to the city hall before the
paralyzedlbank officials could object.
At the time the story was heard the
bank officials were invisible, and Mr..
Hinton had gone to join his family, but
several persons, among them Council
man ]. @. Tufts, had heard the story
substantially as it is above related. and
there was considerable speculation as to
the right of the assessor to act in that
manner.

THE OHIO MAN.

There has perhaps been no more
singular episode in our recent politics
than the coldness which has grown up
between James G. Blaine and Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll. Their love was
once as that of David and Jonathan, but
now they doubtless scarcely speak as
they pass by. The great agnostic has
given the go-by to the man whom he
eulogized as the White Plumed Knight
OF Navarro. Robert G. has come out as
a pronounced McKinleyite, and thinks
that if that gentleman should carry
Ohio he will be nominated for president
py acclamation and elected. When he
was asked what would become of the
great Blaine wave if the redoubtable
James G. should recover his health, he
answered that he didn't think Blaine
was very sick nor did he believe that
there was any big Blaine wave. The
source of the rupture of these two nota-
bles of the grand old party is not far to
seek. Blaine found himself surrounded
on all hands by hoodoo of which re-
ligion and irreiigion were the main
springs. On one side there was Bur
chard, with his Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" and then there was the
ELUSIVE friendship of Bob, which must
be shut off at all hazards if the Plumed
Knight were to retain any stand
ing with the religious element of
Ills party. So sorrowfully but
resolutely the friendship of Colonel Bob
was repelled, until now these erstwhile
cronies have nothing good to say of
each other, and Ingersoll never neglects
an opportunity to belittle the object of
his old time preference. 1t is somewhat
noteworthy that Ingersoll employs the
subjunctive mood in discussing Nc
Kinley. He makes that gentleman's
triumphant progress contingent on his
carrying Ohio. The if in this estimate
cuts very big figure. Ohio may or
may not place Mckinley in the danger
GUS prominence of being successful
Republican candidate for president by
electing him governor this fall. We are
asked to accept the statement that there
is dissension in the Democratic ranks in
the Buckeye state, and we are told that
Campbell will be opposed by strong
faction in his own party. But the fact
should be borne in mind that Campbell
was pronounced to be weak candidate
when he was first nominated, and that
he beat Joseph Benson Foraker, bla-
tant individual who has the voice of
foghorn and magnetic personality far
greater than McKinley's own. On the
whole, it would not be surprising if
Governor Campbell himself should turn
out to be the man as to whom there lie
in wait surprising presidential possibil-
tiles. The Ohio man must always be
taken into the count, but then Campbell
is an Ohio man.

WE HAVE six superior judges, and
they are all on vacation but one. This
judicial outing is, of course, very
proper thing; but it so happens that
very important quasi-public work is
likely to be greatly retarded by the
wholesale closing of the courts. The
Terminal railroad company have run
against snag below town In the shape
of man who owns ground on the route
of the road, and positively declines to
let them have the right of way through
his premises on any reasonable terms.
This is, we believe, the only serious i'm
pediment in the way of early completion
of the road to the sea. AS the company
came to no agreement with the man,
they are compelled to go into court to in
woke the process of condemnation. But
the only court in continuous session
has its hands full, and as time is very
important factor with the company,
which has between eight and nine
hundred men on its payroll, most of
whom will be suspended from work dur
ing the condemnation proceedings, it is
a matter of great interest that the suit
should be got through with quickly.

THE source of the Salton lake has now
been definitely traced. The expedition
which started from Yuma to explore the
lower Colorado found several places in
which the river had broken its west
ward banks and was flowing in deep
currents into chain oflagoons and final
ly pouring into the Salton sea. AS the
trip has been made by boat from Yuma
to Salton, that settles the whole ques.
tion about the source OF this great body
of water. The river is falling, and it is
of interest to know ifit will have enough
water at its low stage to keep up suffi-
cient supply on the desert to overcome
what is absorbed by evaporation. If it
should prove that the supply is suffi-
cient, then the lake will be permanent,
and the entire Colorado river will pour
into it, until by some other freak dur
ing another great freshet it may take
different course and find another out
let for its surplus water.

HE READ THE OLD NOVELS.

The late Joseph E. Mcdonald, OF Indi-
ana, was one of our American public
men who had standing and reputation
very much in advance of that to which
they would appear to be entitled on the
records. In this respect he resembled
to some extent the Hon. Silas Wright,
of New York, who stood in the foremost
rank OF Americans, although the student
of political history will be puzzled to
find in what lines he excelled many of
his contemporaries. Mcdonald occupied
in the Democratic party of Indiana
much such position as Judge Gresham
still holds In the Republican party OF
that state. They both enjoyed an esti-
nation quite out Of the ordinary line
of politicians. and they both seem
to have cared little for merely
political advancement. In reading
sketch 4 of Mcdonald, the other
day, we came across an indication
of his personal tastes in the line of lit
erature which will interest many people
who would like to get an idea of what
the man was like. He was fond of vary
ing the monotony OF his profession, the
law, by reading novels, and his special
favorites were the works of Scott and
Thackeray. He thought that Scott was,
as he was called, the "Wizard of the
North," but that Vanity Fair was the
greatest novel ever written. There
are many admirers of Thackeray
who will think that his Esmond,
in a different line, might chal-
lenge the supremacy in merit of
all his works. 1t was Edmund Burke
who said that good novel is good
thing; and when the author of the
essay on The Sublime and Beautiful
gave utterance to that sentiment the
novel was in its infancy. Its develop
ment in the hands of Sir Walter Scott,
Bulwer, Dickens and Thackeray, of the
English school, and Victor Hugo, Bal
zac, Daudet, and others of the French
school, has been as magical as it was
enchanting. America has contributed
it's full quota to the mastery schools
of fiction in Cooper, Hawthorne and
others. But today, outside of the
French and highly philosophical
school of fiction to which we are
indebted to the Germans, the art
of novel writing seems to be a
lost art. at least as respects imagination
and warmth of expression. Mr.. McDon-
aid, like many others, of late years, had
doubtless been obliged to re-read his old
favorites. They are certainly hundred
times more interesting than the mass of
erotIc literature that issues from the
press of today. Where these precious
substitutes for the glorious stream of
fiction that characterized the greater
portion of the nineteenth century are
not erotic they are, with a precious few
exceptions, 80 trashy and worthless
that to read them is weariness to the
flesh.

How a Police Officer Shows His Brief
Authority to the Public.
A business man from Phoenix visited
Los Angeles yesterday. After complet-
ing his purchases he concluded to take
a drive. He reports his experience to
the HERALD as follows:
II was driving along First street with
two ladies when cable car came along
and in moment more would have taken
off wheel. 1 whipped up my horse
and just got across in time when was
seized by fresh-looking fellow in blue
coat and brass buttons. He informed
me that / was violating the fast driving
ordinance and would probably have run
me in il had not shown determined
front. As it was, he caused me and my
friends much annoyance, probably to
show that he was an officer. The attack
was wholly unjustifiable and absurd and
the impression will be inevitable that
management allowing such outrages to
occur is not fit to exist in this city. The
officers name / discovered to be Collins.

POLICE AND FIRE.
THE SUNDAY CLOSING FARCE vIG-
OROUSLY DISCUSSED.
Commissioner Lewis Wants the Licenses
Revoked of Saloon-Keepers Who vio-
late the Ordinance-The Vacation Prop
osition-Fire Matters.

The police commission met yesterday
afternoon with Commissioners Lewis,
Bryson and Snyder present.
Chief Glass reported having suspended
Officer Dugan for violation OF the police
rules, while intoxicated. The chief was
sustained in his action and the police
commissioners tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock will consider Officer Dugan' 8
case further.
A communication was read from Com
missioner Dexter suggesting that some
provision should be made for vacations
for the officers. The matter was laid
over for one week to give Mr.. Dexter
time to explain his views on the subject
in person.
Captain Lockwood asked for the SER
vices of mounted officer to prevent es-
capes from the chain gang. Chief
Glass said that as the men were en-
ployed on street work the street depart
ment should furnish the guard. After
some discussion the matter was referred
to the council.
The city assessor reported that num-
ber OF saloon licenses had become de-
linquent, and according to law would
be revoked if not paid before the office
closed last evening. No action appeared
necessary.
Mr.. Lewis said that something should
be done about the violation OF the Sun
day closing law. He understood that
several men bad been arrested for vio-
lating the law last Sunday, and he
wanted the chief to be authorized to re-
woke their license permits as soon as
they were convicted in the courts.
Chief Glass said that the cases came
up on Monday and were continued. Mr..
Bryson remarked that in that case a
conviction might not be secured all
summer.
Commissioner Lewis was bound to
have something done. He understood
that an officer had not only found three
saloons open on Sunday, but had pur-
chased liquor at each. If the commits
sion was satisfied that the law had been
violated they could revoke the permits.
On motion of Mr.. Brysor, therefore,
the matter was referred to the committee
of, the whole, which meets tomorrow, and
the officer and accused saloon-keepers
will be cited to appear and testify before
the committee.
FIRE MATTERS.
Very little business came before the
fire commissioners yesterday morning.
F.A. Harnden, of the Pacific Insurance
union, appeared and complained that
parties in the neighborhood of Los
Angeles and East Second streets were
violating the fire ordinance, in keeping
quantities of inf1ammable material in a
much exposed position in back yards.
"A planning mill using paper for fuel was
particularly complained Of.
The matter was referred to the chief
with instructions to arrest the parties
it they did not accord with the ordi-
nance.
i No other business was done except
approving requlsitions and allowing de-
mands.

THE SALTON SEA.
The Water at a Standstili-Patton
Arrives at Salton.

Arrives at Salton.
Harry Patton sailed into Salton on
Tuesday night at half-past 10, having at
the cost of very dangerous trip, expos
ure to frightiul heat and a number of
annoyances, succeeded in establishing
what the Southern Pacific employe, Mr..
Carter, had discovered several days ago
that the water which covers the desert
comes from breaks on the west bank of
the Colorado.
3 One of Patton's companions, Yuma
Indian, was bitten by a rattlesnske and
had to be sent back. Mr.. Patton re-
turned last evening to Banning.
Mr.. Swayne, the Southern Pacific en-
gineer who is making scientific inves-
tigation into the phenomenon, will pro-
badly be heard from this week; his re-
port will be conclusive as to the situa-
'tion.
The water at Salton is practically at a
etandstill, as the raise reported yester-
day for twenty-four hours past was only
a quarter of an inch.
