PASADENA, Aug. 16.-Another of
those walk in and help yourself burg
laries occurred last evening at Mr.. FL
mer Eastman's house, on Day ton street,
near the fire engine house. There was
no one at home at the time. Entrance
was made by forcing one of the win
dows. The party or parties succeeded
in making quite haul. A gold watch
and chain worth $75 were taken; also, a
new suit Of clothes, a clock, and several
small articles of jewelry. This is the
third or fourth robbery Of this kind that
has occurred in Pasadena and vicinity
in the past few months, and in most
cases the offenders have escaped detec-
tion. The police have taken hold OF the
case. and will leave no stone unturned
to ferret out the offenders.
THE PLAN ABANDONED.
At a meeting of the trustees of the
Christian church, held last evening, it
was reluctantly decided to abandon the
proposed church on the corner of Pasa-
dena avenue and Colorado street. The
reason for this action is, that the pro-
posed removal of the Terminal station,
and laying Of additional tracks near this
on Colorado street, will render the loca-
tion undesirable for the location of a
house of worship. 1t will be remem-
bered that directly after the wind storm
Of last winter the Union club gave this
property to the church, providing they
would erect building thereupon. In
consideration of this fact, the property
will now probably revert to its original
owners, should the club not decide to
allow the church to still retain it re-
gardless OF the proviso. IL was further
decided at the meeting to purchase lot
on the corner of Mary and Fair Oaks
avenue, where they will erect for the
present a small chapel, and when the
church is in better condition, fnan-
cially, build larger church.
