Illinois Wise Has a Narrow Escape
From the GaiIowS.

From the GaiIowS.
There was au interesting case before
Judge Mckenna Of the United States Cir

colored man. was called for sentence.

ernment. His case had been heard before
the United States Commissioner, and yester-
day the testimony was rehashed to the
Circuit Judge.
The charge against Illinois Wise was the
murder Of Chinese in April last on board
the American bark w. Ii. DImond, while

and some one, who considers you have mis-
taken your vocation as wiuged-Iooted
Mercury. has allowed you thirty minutes
instead Of three hours on the basis of Oak
land rapid transit, it makes al the differ
ence.
The trouble with rapid transit in Oakland
just now is that there are too many roads
that lead TO nowhere and too few roads
that lead to somewhere.
You board brown car that is warranted
to take you just where you want inside of
fifteen minutes. Then after running half
mile or SO you are switched off, told that
this car doesn't run any further; that you
ought to have changed at so-and-so, got q
transfer at thcre-aud-there for thus-and-

They Want Big Damages.

The 1obin family filed five complaints in
the Superior Court yesterday against the
Pacific Blood horse Association, Z. w. VIII
liams. Julius Callundan and others. Each
complaint asks for judgment for S25, 600
damages or S125,0O IN all. Mr.. and Mrs.
Tobin sue jointly on three complaints and
he separately on two. The actions are for
assault, malicious prosecution, false impris-
onment and defamation of character.
On the 9,h inst. while attending the races
at the Bay District Track Mrs. Tobin in
truded within the betting ring She refused
to retire and was elected by Callundan
under orders from Mr.. Williams. Mr.. Tobn
went tc the rescue Of his wife and he. too,
was put out. Before they were taken 10 tb g
police station they were detained In small
room at the racetrack.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tobn on the 14th inst. were
tried and acquitted In the Police Court on a
charge Of disturbing the peace.
The words used in the complaint charg-
ing Elizabeth Tobin with disturbing the
peace are set forth as the defamatory Ian
guage. This and the arrests and subse-
auent Imprisonment and prosecution con-
stitute tie other causes of action.

NOT BIG ENOUGH.
The Seligmans' Bid for the
Donaflue Road.
They Offer a Low Figure, but VIII
Probably Secure Control of
All the Stock.

"0n January 8. 1893. the bids for the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad will
be opened in the Superior Court OF Marin
County" said John f. Burgin. the presi-
dent Of that road, yesterday. land until then
l am not al liberty to tell who L think will
have control of it in the future"
Mr.. Burgin seems TO be of the opinion
that premature disclosure OF the future of
the road would do some harm in an IN
known direction; but from his talk and
what is generally known. there is hardly
any DOUBT but that the property will pass
into the hands OF Seligman Brothers, the
New York bankers, who have in the past
advanced large amounts of money to the
San Francisco and North Pacific, and now
are considered the principal stockholders.
The Seligmans already hold over $4,000
shares Of the road and for the $4,000 shares
still owned by the Donahue estate they are
said to have offered $4,000.
The executors of the Donahue estate, of
which Mr.. Burgn is one, do not consider
that amount sMlcient offer, and it is said
In financial circles that their estimate of
the value of the 5000 shares is placed at
100000, all of which goes TO show that
there Is q wide difference of opinion be-
tween the people who have something To
sell and the intending purchaser.
President Bursin was extremely reluctant
In speaking of the probable consequences
OF transfer OF bis road 10 the Seligmans.
He hoped in an abScat-minded sort of
way that some Californians would make
an acceptable offer. but he said that local
capitalists have strlags on their money and
will not make Any investments.
II the Seligmans get the road Mr.. Burgin
thought they viii ut once improve and ex-
tend il at least as far as Eureka, Humboldt
County
Whether it will become eventually q
transcontinental road or not lie could lot
say. but with pcoBle ike the big New York
bankers as owners he considered that the
road would doubtless become, sooner or
later. heavy competitor to the Southern
Pacific Company.
Mr.. BuEgin admitted during the interview
that many people have lately made diigent
Inquiries about the condition and value or
the railroad; but while he thinks there
will be several bids presented in Judge
Angelott?s court before January ., he
seemed 10 have but little hone that the
road viii become the properly of California
capitalists.

A Letter Thief

For some time a mysterious thief has
been plying his vocation in the money Office
department of the Postoffice. About $500
In registered letters is said to have been
stolen up to date, but as yet the Govern
ment officers have been unable to locate the
thief.
Postmaster Backus and his deputy.
Colonel Richardson, with number of Post
Office inspectors. have been trying to dis
cover who the thief is, but as yet they have
not succeeded in locating their man. From
the manner in which the mail has been
stolen ii is thought that the thief must be
one Of the clerks in the office. 1t is almost
impossible for Ii TO be otherwise, for the
registered letters have been shifted from
the mail pouches into the thiefs own
pockets.
The Postmaster and his assistants are
going through the books of the department.
and have determined that the thief is one
OF the clerks and mean TO catch him. They
will not speak about the matter Just vet.
but say II will 60 hard with the man who is
found guilty.

A CIGAR-sToRE COUNT.
He Gets Into Trouble and Runs AfouI
of CrOwIey's Men.


The alleged Russian Count, Peter Ruth
loyasbak. who has figured in so many Police
Court cases within the past two years that
lie is now classed among the common
swiudlers. is again behind the bars. The
Counts schemes have generally been worked
IN connection with gang Of bogus, real
estate agents and employment agency
swindlers.
Heretofore the Count has escaped with
light pun ishment il punished al all but the
present case promises TO land him across
the bay and may take with him one OF
more OF his confederates.
a day or two ago Joseph Nealon and
William Kelly, who live at Park avenue
and Jointly owned saloon on Howard
street, near Seventh. concluded to sell their
business and negotiated the sale through
a real-estate agent The Russian Count,
accompanied by tie agent, called on Nealon
ami Kelly and offered TO trade them piece
Of land-seYenty- FIVE aeres-he claimed 70
own in Kern County aad TO be worth $500
for the saloon.
The trade was made, deed given, and
the Count and the agent took possession OF
the saloon. 1t was soon resoId TO third
party whose name is unknown.
Nealon and Kelly made inquiries concern
ing tic land ia Kern County decided 10 them.
and were astouuded TO learn that Count
Peter RnhloYasbak did net and, so far as
the records show never had owned foot of
soil In Kern County. They Immediately
reported the matter 10 the police, aud the
men engaged IN the transaction were easily
recognized from the description given The
alleged Russian Count was found in little
cigar-stOre at Sl9a Battery street, where he
had about a hattuil Of goods, snd WAS In the
act OF trying TO get $3.50 for q half interest
In II from a couple OF greenhorns. Officer
ConbOy locked him up, when RuhloyasOak
weakened and admitted tie swlndle upon
Nealon and Kelly, and threatens that I'M
less the agent fixes the case he will expose
the real-estate agent in many other swim
dies in which he has helped him. The
police now hope 10 be able to break up the
gang Of reai-estate sharks and employment
bureau swlndlerS who have been operating
here for months. The Count is held under
$1,000 bonds.
