ARRESTED FOR ARSON.

Mrs. Lechner of TuIare Charged With a
Serious Ofense.
An aged woman named Mrs. Sarah Leeh-
ner was taken into custody at 25k Sixth
street yesterday afternoon by Detective
Silvey of Tulare County. The prisoner,
who is a widow with three children is
charged with arson, and will be taken to
Tulare to-day to be examined for her al
legged crime.
Mrs. Lechner kept six-room boarding
house in Tulare. the furniture of which was
insured for $500. Her patrons were railroad
men, who left her recently when a railroad
lodging-house was opened. On the Sunday
following the departure of the men Mrs.
Lechner and her children went to church.
During their absence fire broke out in the
house and consumed most Of the furniture.
The widow and her family came 10 this city
and at once made application to the insur-
ance company for the amount of her policy.
II is believed that the widows arrest was
caused by the insurance men.

ever his personal habits may have been in
other respects, regularity was one of his
virtues. Ii he was not in police cell for
drunkenness he was pretty sure to turn up
at some hour of the night at his lodgings.
1t is certain that Connors has not been an
inmate either OF cell or OF his lodgings
during the past week.
The immediate cause Of the arrest of
Hayes was voluntary statement made by
him to Officer Lake yesterday afternoon to
the effect that Connors had been thrown
overheard" Lake did not attach much i'm
portance to the hurried remark of an appar-
emily drunken man on the street but recoI-
lecting that Connors had not been seen for
several days he reported the matter to Cap
tain Dunle2vy, who ordered a further in
vestigation. Officer Egan was detailed to
assist Lake, and after some search Hayes
was found on WashingtOn-street wharf and
placed under arrest. In his condition at the
time DO injustice was done him by deteu-
ton. Later on Hansen was arrested also,
as he was the last person seen with Hayes
in company with COnnOrs
There are stories afioat that Hayes and
Conuors had been quarreling two or three
DAYS before the latter's disappearance {;
that Hayes had the worst of a tussle that
ensued, and that he had sworn that Con-
noTs should not live over Sunday.
AN ALLEGED CONFESSION.
Another story is to The effect that Hayes
admitted having thrown ''rObber" over
FOurth-street bridge. On this flimsv basis
a charge of murder has been hastily raised,
but the police are not moving so quickly,
and are content to work on the case sys-
tematicaly as suspicious one. They have
an impression that Connors may turn up,
and do not want to stultify themselves
COnn0rs is q man feet inches high,
dark complexioned, with mustache, wearing
the ordinary garb of a longshoreman. and
sOlidly built. The police state that lie is
very "mean" when drunk, and has given
them lots of trouble, but they do not credit
the story that he was pushed overheard.
The man was in the habit of sitting on the
edge of the wharf when In a drunken con-
ditiOn, and it would be easy to conceive Of
his falling in and being drowned without
resOrtng to a murder hypothesis. At the
same time there is just enough suspicion to
make the detention of Hayes and Hansen
warrantable. Both of them were hope
lessly drunk Yesterday when locked up, aud
no connected story could be elected from
them.
DRUNK. BUT TALKATIvE.
Later in the evening they were removed
to a cell in the City Prison. They were still
intoxicated. but were able to nationally dis
cuss 1.-The disappearance of COnnors with
which they vehemently declared they had
no connection whatever.
They said that they had been given a keg
of beer last Sunday afternoon, and had
made all haste TO transfer its contents u
their stomachs, but finding themselves in
competent to perform the task, had called
upon "B9w-wOw Jack" for his assistance.
which was gladly given. Before they had
drained the keg they said Jack went away.
and that was the last they saw Of him.
Hayes said that he and Jack were good
friends

Climatic Changes.

The changes of terrestrial climate
have been many and various. Myrtles
and tree ferns once hourished in Green
land; coral insects built ON the shores of
Melville island; nautiluses sailed over
what must then have been the tepid seas
about Spitzbergen. But with the lapse
of ages the scene changed, and worse
than arctic rigors spread into regions
now enjoying temperate climate. Pos
sibly not for the first time. The Per-
mian was certainly an inclement age,
and it's inclemency seems even to have
reached the point of glaciation in the
west of England and Ireland, yet it was
preceded and succeeded by long prev
alence of tropical conditions.
These assuredly reigned without in
terruption, in north temperate and polar
regions throughout the vast expanse Of
Tertiary time. Palms and cycads then
sprang up in the room of oaks and
beeches in England turtles and croco-
dies haunted English rivers and estu-
aries; lions, elephants and hyenas
roamed at large over English dry land.

Paying a Debt.

The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk, who, in spite of his large income,
was always in debt, sat one day in a
barber's shop waiting to be shaved. He
was lathered, when the door opened and
tradesman entered who happened to
be one of the poets largest creditors.
No sooner did this man see Saint-Fo
than he angrily demanded his money.
The poet composedly begged him not to
make a scene.
"Won't you wait for the money until
am shaved?"
Certainly" said the other, pleased at
the prospect.
Saint-Foix then made the barber a
witness of the agreement and imme-
diately took towel, wiped the lather
from lis face and left the shop. He
wore beard to the end of his days.

In reading over the literary items Of
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed ".Jenks' Dream" Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
recommendation to use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
great sufferer from sick headache, /
determined to try them, and, to my great
joy, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
Cause no gripping or sickness. Best

Indigestion and Bilious Attacks, they
have no equal.
