Braids by Him.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The second
Brooklyn victim, at the hands of the
hair-thiefs, is 17-year-old Mamie Nc
Murray, of Williamsburg. Accom-
panied by her father, she called at the
Fifth Precinct police station to-day and
reported that i stranger cut off her two
braids while she was looking into show
window in Grand street, Williamsburg, on
Thursday night. She remembered feeling a
slight tug at her golden locks, but she paid
no attention to it, as she thought some mis-
chievous boy had pulled it.
Not until she reached her home was the
robbery of her hair discovered. Her sister
was the first to discover its loss. The former
about nine years ago had her hair cut off in
q similar manner.

KOCH IS DISGUISED.
A Serious Quarrel Between Him and the
German Government.

rBY DUNLAP's CABLE COMPANY
BERLIN, Jan. 16.-It is confidently be-
lieved here that a serious quarrel underlies
the announcement that Prof Koch is to quit
Berlin for Egypt on next Wednesday, with
the determination to remain until the Koch
Hospital, which the Government promises to
build, is ready to be proceeded with. This
is the way that DIR. Koch expresses his dis
gust at the continued delay.
AT the desire of the Government, Koch
kept the composition of the lymph secret, in
order that Germany might benefit by his dis
covery. For this secrecy, the medical men
OF otner countries attacked him and called
him charlatan. The Government was the
first to be Influenced by their clamor, and in
consequence failed to carry out the promises
made. Hence DIR. kOch's ANNOYANCE and
determination to leave the matter for the
present in other hands.

The Valley at tSalton Suddenly
Submerged.
Covered by a Foot of Water in
a Few Hours.
No Clue as to the Source of the
Mysterious Streams.
Is the Colorado Desert Again to Become
a Sea?--A Lake Formed at Salton In
Twenty Four Hours = Sudden
Failure of AN Artesian
Well Near Indio.

The Colorado desert yesterday COM
menced to fill up with water.
The greater part of that mysterious
region of sand, centipedes, ,cacti, Indians
and heat is below sea level, and many
indications show that at one time 1T
was the bed of an ocean.
An instance in point is shown at
Salton, to which three-mile spur runs
from the Southern Pacific road at about
twenty miles east of Indio. Here is
found large valley which is nothing
but salt-salt of the highest quality.
which is so pure that it requires little
or no treatment before being ready for
market.
This country has from time immemo-
rial been as dry as a powder magazine,
an occasional rain in the short rainy
season being the only indication OF
moisture. What was the surprise, then,
yesterday of the employees of the salt
company at the mines to find the valley
gradually but surely changing into a
lake.
From a traveller who arrived on yes
terday's train at the Arcade depot it was
learned that early yesterday morning
moisture was noticed all over the salt
deposit, and soon little streams of water
were noted trickling along, coming ap-
parently from the south portion OF the
valley; these kept increasing in volume
and spread out, Joining each other until
at the time OF the train leaving the juno
ton with the spur to the saltworks. it
ranArto6 thof Ot
foot of water covered the whole valley,
and was increasing all the time. No
clue to the source of this sudden flow
could be found beyond the fact that it
seemed to come in from the south part
of the valley.
When the train reached Indio another
phenomenon was found to have occurred.
For a number OF years the railroad COM
pany has had an artesian we'll flowing
at a little station seven miles east OF
Indio, which had been sunk at consid-
erable expense. This we'll had gone dry,
it was found, at about the same time
time that the flow of water had first
been noticed at the salt mines. Whether
the flow at the latter place was caused
by change in the underground streams
which fed the we'll, of course could not
be ascertained.
The whole affair is very curious, and
whether it will result in permanent
lake at Salton is the question. The
cause of the flow may be found to be one
of many theories, one of which is that
the artesian flow of water alluded to has
changed its course. and has broken
through the earth at Salton, or that the
water came from tremendous cloud
burst in that vicinity. At last accounts
the water was still rising, and the affair
had begun to look like serious matter.
There IS very large extent OF territory
which will be submerged if the flow
should continue before the overflow
could escape by way OF the Colorado

REDONDO.

An immense crowd of ladies with a
meagre sprinkling of gentlemen were
congregated at the Redondo station in
Los Angeles this morning, and at $50
boarded the train, consisting OF ten
coaches, for days outing on Redondo's
classic shores. The day did not promise
to be one of the brightest, but before
noon Old Sol appeared with his most
charming smile which continued the
entire day. Arriving at the beach on
time each and all proceeded to the office
of the big hotel where the process OF
registering began, and for a time it
looked as if the huge book would be
filed, but when the list had been
swelled to 125 things went little slower
and those who were latest took their
time. Turn which way you would, the
remark, "what delightful place."

more suitable place for such gather
ing, the occasion being the reunion Of
Mrs. Anna S. Averill's five literary
classes, and their guests. Col. E. w.
Root. the courteous and thoughtful man
ager of the Redondo, had the elegant
music hall previously arranged for the
reception of the ladies and their gentle
men escorts, and before luncheon all
had assembled there for kind of pre-
paration for the days enjoyment
and a preliminary to the exer-
cises to take place later. Each mem
ber was furnished with a dainty little
slip ornamented with bow OF ribbon,
all pure white, on which was written a
part of familiar quotation and COM
pleted on a corresponding slip, the
| holders, of course, accepting each other
as partners for luncheon and thereby
courting congeniality and making the
day equally agreeable for all. The con-
versaziones were mainly on literary
topics, such as women of enterprise and
| education alone are able to deal, but
there were other subjects also discussed
| for variety's sake, remembering that
variety is the spice of life." Afternoon
was devoted to the carrying out OF the
finely arranged programme of literary
and musical exercises, every number

condition of the roads just inside the
city limits, the resolution was passed
unanimously. The board then ad-
iourned.

SANTA MONICA.

Proceedings were commenced in di-
vorce suit, today, here, when Mrs. Liz
zie Smith asked for a separation from her
liege lord, j. R. Smith, the grounds
being drunkenness and abuse. Smith
lives here and is said to be hard-work-
ing, indurstious fellow, who goes on a
spree about every three months, which
seems to anger his spouse. Rumor has it
that Mrs. Catherine Terrace, who made
herself ridiculous here last week by ap-
pearing as prosecuting witness, attorney
and censor when the verdict was against
her in case against Smith, is at the bot
