Edgar FlemminE Accused of a Serious
Ononse.
The trial OF the tricky Coronado Justice
OF the peace, Edgar Fleming, whose ex-
ploits several weeks since while on a
spree in this city have been heretofore
published. was begun before Judge
Shaw yesterday.
lie is accused OF obtaining property
under false pretenses from Max Mayer,
secondhand dealer OF North Main
street. He obtained some watches from
Mayer during bis drunken revels and
gave in paymant three checks, aggre-
eating $3.50. The trade occupied all
one day, and was cousumated in Mayors
place and an adjoining saloon. There
was drinking all day and Mayors con-
sternation, when he found the checks
worthless, may be imagined. Fleming
was still about town, and he was ar
rested.
The checks were drawn on the Con-
eolidated National bank of San Diego,
now in the hands OF receiver, and pur-
ported to be signed by George W..
Beamer. Fleming endorsed them.
lie admits the transaction, but bases
his defense upon the fact OF his being
in a condition bordering on delirium
tremens, and that he was irresponsible,
There arc quite number of witnesses
in attendance from San Diego. The
trial will probably be concluded today.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
An Outline of Some of tho Department.

An Outline of Some OF tho Departments
1T Covers.
Since September, 1891, the public
library has been circulating books to
the public schools of this city by regu-
lar system OF distribution. The city is
divided into four districts, each district
enclosing given number OF schools.
Books are sent out weekly during the
school year to each district in turn.
Every public school teacher is privileged
to go to the library and make his or her
own selection of not more than 20 books,
which are retained for four weeks, to be
ustd during that time by the boys and
girls under her care.
During the school year ending July,
1893, the library supplied 1913 teachers
out OF the total of 233 employed by the
city with library books for supple
mentary reading. The number OF
volumes distributed in this way
amounted to slightly over 10000. Just
before the opening of the present school
year, the library placed upon it's shelves
some 500 volumes OF new juvenile books
on science, history, biography and travel.
A special attendant is placed In charge
of this work, who also assists the teach
ers in their selections, and directs them
to new books, etc.
Among the new books for general cir
cuiation the one oftenest asked for is
Gen. Lew Wallace's Prince of India.
In small installment of new books
received last week were Kate Sanborn's
A Truthful Woman in Southern Cali
fornia; Frederick Ober's In the Wake
OF Columbus, description of the West
Indies. Mr.. Ober was detailed special
worlds fair commissioner to visit and
describe for publication the country
where Columbus first landed. New
novels by Walter Besant. Coppes and
Farjeon were among the lot.
The present revival OF mining interests
makes it apropotsto call the attention of
the public to the many valuable refer
ences to California mines and mining
included in the library's index to Cali
fornia. This index WAS prepared with
great care, and contains some 5000 en-
tries on subjects relating to the natural
and civil history OF California.
Work on the new fiction list is nearly
completed, and in six weeks the patrons
of the library will be furnished with
copies containing the names of novel
lists and of their works in the library,
together with an index referring to the
subjects treated in the novels.

MORE POLICEMEN.
The Mayors Recommendation Shoult
be Acted Upon.

The Mayors Recommendation Should
be Acted Upon.
Some time ago the mayor sent mes.
cage to the council recommending the
appointment OF 20 additional policemen
on the force of this city.
He gave as the reason for his action,
that the city ia being filled with auH-
picious characters from nearly every
other city in the west.
The council took no action upon the
mayors recommendation other than re-
ferring it TO the committee of the
whole.
A prominent gentleman. in speaking
of the recommendation yesterday, said
"The mayor must have good
weather eye,' as recent developments
tend to prove that his observations some
weeks ago were correct. Why, look at
the bold robbery that took place only
last night. This proves conclusively
that larger police force is needed, es.
pecially in the outer portions of the
city. Win the recommendation be &C.
cepted and acted upon ?'

Resolved, That it is the sense of the

that any reduction OF the tariE by mod

luxury, does in no vice burden the peo-
pie at large.

ways and means, and for such further
action as they may deem best.

A PATHETIC EPISODE.
THE EXAMINATION OF MRS. KATE
JORDAN FOR INSANITY.
She Had Married n Dissolute Man, She
Said, Only to Find He Already Had
Wife, and Her Children
Neglect Her.

Mrs Kate Gordon was examined be-
fore Judge Clark and Drs. Ainsworth
and Wernigk yesterday upon charge
of insanity.
1t isnot given to every person brought
before court OF inquiry OF this nature
to assist the lunacy commissioners in
arriving at just conclusion, but such
wac the fortune of the refned-looking
and sad-laced woman who was exam
ined.
DR.. Hagan of the county hospital was
the fret witness examined, and said he
was called night before last to Mre.
Eichenhoff's lodging house, at No. 5I8
South Spring street, to take a crazy
woman. The ambulance brought Mrs.
Gordon to the hospital. She had been
violent at the lodging house; had imag-
ined some one WAS trying to kill her,
and after che reached the hospital
che thought her son had been killed.
Friday night she had similar delusions,
and secured butcher knife. 1t was
necessary to put her in cell.
Mrs. Gordon, who sat quietly during
the recital, was questioned about her
self. She said che was the wife of dis
solute man named Gordon, who was at
one time on the daily press of the city.
She found he had another wife living
and they separated about three years
ago. She had had five children, and one
of her sons, she said, who is 20 years old.
is in the city now. He does not help to
support her, and che does not know
where he is or what he is doing. She
has son IL years old, bell boy in the
Occidental hotel in San Francisco, and a
little girl of 13, who was her at the lodg-
ing house. She has had hard time to
support herself and little girl.
Upon being questioned about her de-
lusions she said that it was true. She
had had three such attacks since June.
They lasted TWO or three days. She
realized now that what she had thought
for two or three days past was all incor-
rect. She felt that it would be hard to
obtain positions when it was known
about her trouble, but if she could get
housework to do she thought she would
be able to control her impulses. Mrs.
Gordon said she would hate to be sent
to an asylum ON account of her little
girl and was willing to go to the hospital
if DIR. Hagan would not object.
The sympathy of all in the court room
was elected for the forlorn lady. Her
condition, it was thought, would be
greatly benefited by treatment at the
hospital and she will remain there for
several weeks.
