THE SUNDAY CLOSING Law.
The San Jose Ordinance Attacked
by SalOOn-Keeper.
A British Subject Challenges Its Validity in
Petition for Writ of Habess
Corpus.

The validity OF the San Jose ordinan ce
requiring saloons to close at 10 o'clock on
Saturday evenings and all day on Sunday is
TO be tested in the United States Circuit
Court. The question is to be presented on
a writ of habeas corpus In which the pc
tltiOner is John S. Dennis, proprietor of the
Royal Billiard Parlors, 81 and CT North
First street, San Jose. one OF the leading
saloons of that city. Judge Mckenna issued
the writ yesterday and made il returnable
on Monday next.
Mr.. Dennis claims that he Is a British
subject and Is unlawfully restr.ined of his
liberty by Hugh A de Lacy, Chief Of p olce
Of San Jose. The petitioner was arrested
and convicted on a charge Of keeping his
saloon open on Sunday, August. He was
sentenced TO pay a fine of SEQ or suffer so
days Imprisonment on August 16.
His contention in his petition for the writ
is that the San Jose Sunday saloon clos ing
ordinance is unconstitutional for several
reasons. The Mayor and Common Conncil
OF San Jose enacted the ordinance on May
49, 1882; amended il OH Nav 9, 1892, and
again amended it on May %. 1892 He
Claims that the second amendment virtually
repealed the original ordinance. and that
the third amendment was an attempt 10 re-
peal an ordinance that did not exist The
right TO sell spirltnOus liquors, and AYERS
that he kept his place open only TO sell
cigars. lemonade and soda water. the same
as the hotels. dTugstOres, restaurants and
eigar-storrs, which places were not mOlested
by the San Jose police on the same day. lie
also claims that his patrons had lawful
right 10 play billiards Oh Sunday in his
place. He alleges, therefore, that he has
been deprived of his liberty without due
process of law; that he has been deprived Of
the equal protection of the laws that he has
been deprived of the privileges and immu-
mites granted and given to citizens Of the
United States under said ordinance that il
is unconstitutional In that 10 makes visitors
10 bis place guilty of miSdemeauor; that
it unlnsily unfairly and dishonesty dis
eliminates against him in favor of persons
conducting restaurants, hotels, cigars torres
and drugstOres; because IL permits ali
people in the saloon business having estap-
lishments just over the boundary lines of
the city limits of San Jose TO open their
places on Sunday under the county license
law; because il grants to him a license to
carry on his business each and every day OF
the week and then charges him with a mis-
demeanor Tor doing so on Saturday night
and Sunday, but allows others under the
same license to carry on the business of
selling cigars and lemonade each and every
day OF the week; because IL gives TO hotels
and restaurants monopoly OF the business
which is a restraint of trade; because his
Keeping open his place constituted no public
offense and the Justices court had no juris-
diction, all Of which be alleges 70 be con.
trary to his rights under the constitution of

SHE CAPTURED A BURGLAR.
How a Woman Encountered and
Held HOuSebreaker.
rurly John o'Neill Climbs Into the Residences
of Mrs. Garrick and the Brave Little
Woman Prevents His Escape.

Few able-bodied mel would have done
what frail Mrs. Garrick Of 95I Mission
street did early yesterday morning. A dar-
ing. wel-armed burglar broke into her
abode and she did not hesitate to assail and
capture him. This is the way 1t all came
about:
A few minutes after o'clock Mrs. Gar
rick was aroused from her slumbers by the
noise of something falling In an adjoining
room. Then she heard some one moving
and opening bureau drawers, and she real
lied that a bold, bad burglar was in the
house.
Mrs. Garriek did net DO what many OF her
sex would have done. She neither screamed
nor tainted. Sprnging from bed and
throwing on wrapper. she tried 10 open
the door leading into the room where the
burglar was ov5rturni q and rapsacking
things. but the door Could not be opened.
The house breaker had turned the key on
The other side. Mrs. Garrick aroused her
daughter and the two stepped through
back window into the yard
YELL MURDER"
The girl was stationed at the window with
the injunction to yell murder as loud as
you can when you hear me scream"
The brave mother went around to the
front of the house. passed through the side
gate leading to the rear and into the pack
door, which she found open.
The burglar was descending the stairs
when Mrs Garrick entered the dning-room
and met him face to face. She grappled the
intruder and screamed loudly. During the
struggle that followed both fell 10 the floor
but the woman held on desperately, scream
ing louder and louder
"MurderW cried the daughter until every
one In the neighborho0d was aroused
Several men rushed into the house and TO
the assistance of the courageous woman,
who was still battling with the burglar.
AS the re-enforcements arrived the burg
lar drew pistol and threatened to kill the
first man who approached
AN OFFICER CALLED.
Some one blew police whistle and Officer
Sandman responded. The burglar still
fOurished his weapon when the policeman
arrived. Sandman had a revolver OF his
own, so he drew ii and shouted, drop that
pistol or I'll plug you"
The burglar dropped his weapon, and re-
luctantlv surrendered. The fellow was
handcuffed and given a ride in the patrol
wagon 10 the police station.
The prisoner gave the name Of John
ONeill, and was booked for burglary and
carving concealed weapon.
An examination of the premises at 95l
Mission street showed that the burglar had
gained an entrance 10 the house by prying a
board from 4 broken window in the rear.
Through the aperture IN the window he
reached the lock on the back door and
opened 1t. The housebreaker had care
fully planned an escape. 1t was while
opening buTeAu-drawer that he knocked
down an alarm clock and aroused Mrs.
Garrick. During the encounter the brave
little woman was considerably bruised
about the body, but her face escaped in
jury. although the burglar struck and
kicked at her several times.
