A BURGLAR Fires.

Frank Brown, the we'll known
drummer for the San Antonio
Brewing company, returned to the
city last evening from a trip on
the road. He stated that while in
Harwood Tuesday he stopped at a
hotel. Late during the night he
was awakened by noise
and as he looked into the cor
ner of his room he saw man
going through the pockets of his
pants. He jumped out of bed and
grabbed the intruder, who, after a
hard fight, succeeded in escaping.
Mr.. Brown started after him, and
as he was rapidly passing through
the hall, the rObber shot at him,
the bullet passing two inches from
his head. 1t is not known how
much the thief carried away, but
Mr.. Browns watch is one of the ar
ticles missing.

STOLEN SECURITIES.
Officers of an Insurance Company
Are Sued for Them.


OLYMPIA, Wash, Oct. 2.-Secretary OF
State Price tonight received word from
Receiver Smith of the Washington Farm
er's Insurance Company stating he had
not vet obtained possession of the S21, 900
worth OF notes distracted from the COM
pany's vaults. He further stated that Sec
retary Flynn had admitted in court that
he had given notes TO officers of the COM
pany in payment for their services. Smith
has commenced an action against Secretary
Flynn and Manager Hopkins for embrzzle-
ment: He also brought suit against the
officers of the company to recover the Sc
curities.
+ SPOKANE, Wash. Oct. 2.-Secretary
Flynn of the Washington Farmers Insur-

day on an order to show cause why be
should not be punished tor contempt for
refusing to turn over to Receiver Smith
the S21, 900 worth of notes that disappeared
just previous TO the appointment of the
receiver. The secretary's statement was
that most of these notes were taken by
officers of the company in payment of
claims for services and expenses, some Of
which claims had not been filed. They
were all out of his possession. and the
court, without passing upon the con tempt
case, issued further order on the officers
and stockholders to turn over all the COM
pany's assets to the receiver. Failing in
this they will all be brought into court for
contempt. Judge Moore remarked that it
was one of the most high-handed proceed
'fngs he had ever met with and declared

SUMS ANNULAR ECLIPSE.
Important Memorandum Prepared by
Lick Astronomers.

Lick Astronomers.
LICK OBSERVATORY. Oci. 2.-The fol-
lowing memorandum has been prepared
by Professor Campbell of the Lick OBJ
servatory and is published for the benefit
of intending observers of the anDuar
eclipse of the sun of October 9, 1898: The
annuiar eclipse of the sun, which occurs
on October 8. 1893. will be visible as par
tial eclipse throughout the western and
southwestern half of North America aud
on the western coast of South America.
1t will not be visible at points east of Dem
yer and north of Florida. The path of the
annulus will lie almost wholly in the Pa
'cifc Ocean,. touching land only IN the
vicinity of Lima. Peru. The eclipse will
have very little scientific value, and
astronomer will cnnfine their observa-
tfons to noting the two times Of contact
and any accompanying phenomena. At
lob. 21m. Sos. A. NJ. Pacific standard time,
at 10 deg. AZ sec. north of the suns west
point, and end at 12h. 56m 33s. p. NJ. at II
deg. II sec. east of the suns south point.
There is an unavoidable uncertainty OF
several seconds in the predicted times. At
San Francisco the contacts occur about
minute earlier than at Mount Hamilton.
Similarly for points east and southeast of
Mount Hamilton the contacts occur later.
At the time of greatest eclipse the moon
will obscure the southwestern half of the
sun for observers in California.

THEY CAN FIX HOKE.
Democrats Want the Scalp of Sur
YeYor.General Pratt.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Surveyo yor-G General
Pratt's rlace is coveted by several Califor-
MIA Democrats, and 1t may be that the
Democrats of the California delegation
will make united effort to have him re-
moved. Some time ago dismissed clerk
of Pratt's filed some charges against the
Surveyor-General, but they may not be
considered of enough Importance or relia-
bility to effect his removal. However, If
White and the Democratic Representatives
make up their minds that the Democrats
shall have this place it will not be diff.
cult matter to influence Secretary Hoke
Smith.
1t is ascertained at the Postoffice De-
partment that there we're charges filed
against B. A. Osborne. postmaster at Wat
sonville. CAL, who has been removed, and
Hawkins appointed to succeed him. 1t is
alleged that Osborne neglected his duties
and turned the administration of his Office
over to a young lady in his employ. 1t is
further charged that Postmaster Osborne
was in his manner brusque TO patrons of
the postoffice. The fact that Osborne's
place was coveted by Democrat Hawkins
is probably the real reason for the change,
however.
1t is like ly that Pension Agent Currier
will be removed from office. If so, p, j.
Walsh will be appointed to succeed him.
Senator Perkins has been 20 the Interior
Department in Curriers' behalf, and the
latter will not be removed until he is given
a chance to be heard from, either through
himself or his friends, Messrs. Perkins
and Loud.
