THE STORM ON ECHO MOUNTAIN.
If the view OF San Gabriel valley from
the mountains is picturesque and beau
tiful in fine weather, when the varied
details OF the entire landscape is within
the ecope OF vision, 1t Is no less enchant-
ing when a storm bas been raging and
ia about clearing off. Then the alternate
sunshine and shadow playing over the
landscape produces fantastic patterns
such as no brain could invent. At one
moment you are enveloped in cloud
and cannot see objects 100 feet awav.
Then, as if by magic, the cloud masses
part like the curtains OF q portiefe, and
disclose wonderful vistas now of group
OF orange orchards at your feet; now of
the cleaning roofs OF distant town
now OF the ferny depths of a csfi,n a
thousand feet deep; now of a rocky
buttress propping up some towering
summit. and now Of some lovely water
fall flashing in lace like drapery as it
leaps from some tall cliff in the ioamy
pool below.
Mr.. N. r. Cottman, recently from
New York city, and now assistant man
ager of the Chino sugar factory, has
been spending couple OF days on Echo
mountain, and thoroughly enjoy ed his
rich and varied experiences. He took a
trip up to the snow line, about 1900
feet below the crest OF the range, where
the boughs of the great Douglas frs
were laden with the feathery crystals
and looked down upon the gardens
where roses, geraniums and heliotrope
were in perpetual bloom. at one time
he would look out from bis sunny perch
over sea of cloud rolling and surgine
over the entire valley and climbing the
hanks of the mountain Threatening his
momentary submergence. Then again
he was entirely overwhelmed and sud
denly the clouds would lift from below
like the rising of thester curtain anG

HE WAS A SLICK THIEF,

But Detective Morgan Was Too Much
For Him and He Was Caught in
> a Trap.
Henry Lark, an experienced negro
crook, thief, shOplifter and criminal of
various other pursuits, was very neatly
captured while working one of his lodges
last night, by Detective Morgan, who has
been on the lookout for him for some
time.
Lark is just out of the penitentiary.
having served a six-year term there for
burglary Detective Morgan thinks
he is also an escaped convict and that he
has been sentenced on another charge
since his discharge from the Denitentiary.
Lark had way of going around to va
riOus stores Saturday night and helping
himself TO various articles while the pro-
prietOr was not looking. He has been
suspected of this for sometime. He gen
orally had an accomplice with him who
carried basket into which various art
icles were hidden away.
Last night Detective Morgan put a man
on his track Lark went to several shops
and stole a number of articles. He was
not caught in the 9ct, however, until he
went into /. Bluestein's store on Bryan
street. when the man whom Detective
Morgan had put to watch him saw him
take pair Of pants and throw them into
the basket which was carried by another
party The detective was soon on hand
and Lark was at once given cell in the

IDENTIFY inclined 10 look upon the scheme
with some favor, chimerical though IL
may be. The proposition of the merchant
is to pilot a searching party TO the locality
where the treasure IS buried, and then,
with the assistance of charts and instru-
ments in the hands of a scientific man, to
locate the spot and unearth the treasure.
He does not propose TO surrender his
claims to the wealth, but, being without
the necessary means TO prosecute the
search, he will surrender one-half of all
that is found in case the merchants, indi-
vidually or collectively, conclude TO fur
nisn him with the means necessary to
carry out his plans.
That the pirates in the early days Of
the republic concealed along the coast
vast sums of money and precious stones
of untold value there is hardly reason TO
doubt Florida, at the time referred TO,
was inhabited by wealthy Spaniards, and
the ships that visited the coasts brought
with them cargoes of immense value, and
carried away to the old world the riches
of the purchasers. At St. Augustine the
oldest city in the United States, the peo-
pie still talk about the depredations of
the pirates, and they firmly believe that
there is treasure of almost fabulous value
buried somewhere along the coast not far
from the city.
OF course the directors as a body can
not go Into the scheme. IL must be put
TO a vote of the exchange. money is too
tight now to go into a scheme like that, ~
said one member when interviewed on
the subject Moses F'raley read the let
ter and took the trouble to quote it from
memory to dozens of members. Mr..
Phil Schrimer wanted more information
before he would commit himself either
one way or the other. He wanted the
letter printed in full and discussed MIR.
h. p. AMMAN, the first vice president and
acting president of the exchange, was
asked TO give the letter for publication.
He consulted his secretary, MIR. George
H. Morgan, and after reversing his decis-
ion twice, finally ordered the secretary to
treat the letter as a private communica-
ton.

CASES FOR SUPREME COURT.
Twelve From the City Court and -Four
From the Superior court.

FROM Jne superior OourC.
The clerks of the city and superior
courts have been busy for the past few
days preparing briefs of evidence and bills
of exceptions, records and other papers,
in cases which are to go up to the supreme
court at the October term.
The last of the records in the cases from
the city court were completed yesterday
and forwarded to Atlanta. They were
the cases of:
Benjamin Ficklin VS.. the Savannah
Street railroad, in which the plaintiff got
a verdict for $500
Jake Beasley VS.. the Savannah, Thun-
erbolt and Isle of Hope railroad, in
which the plaintiff got a verdict for 500,
and Henry+Bryan VS. the Savannah Thun-
derbolt and Isle of Hope railroad in which
the plaintiff was also given Sl00 The
other cases which have gone up to the
supreme court from the city court are:
The state VS.. James McGarr, charged
with cheating and swindling, who was
given twelve months on the changing
Cheney VS. the Ocean Steamship Company
which was non-suited by JudgeMac Donell
Demere VS.. the Merchants National
Bauk, and Guilmartin VS.. the Merchants
National Bank, in both of which cases
verdicts were rendered in favor of the
plaintiff.
VIM. DuBose VS.. the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, in which verdict
of 81 900 was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff.
M. J. Falvey VS.. the Savannah, Florida
and Weftern railway, in which case the
plaintiff got verdict for 81, $40
The Navassa GuanO Company VS.. the
Commercial Guano Company in which a
verdict was rendered in favor of the de-
PENDANT, and Julia McGrath VS.. the City
and Suburban railway and Alexander
Gardner VS.. the same, both of which cases
were non-suited.
This is the largest docket that has
gone to the supreme court from the city
court in a long time. Judge MacDonell
has not met, up to this time, a reversal at
the hands of the higher court, but twelve
is quite a large number for them to look
for flaws in.
The superior court has but comparative
~ few cases to send up from this term.
The most important Of these, and the one
involving the largest amount is the case
of Freeman and others VS.. Prendergast
and others, which, it will be remembered
was decided in favor of the defendants.
The other cases which are to go up from
the superior court are
The Bowker Fertilizer Company and
others vs.. Clifton, administrator, which
was decided in favor of the defendant
f. p. Cook and others VS., Benjamin
Cannon, which was decided in favor of
the defendant.
The Ambrose Harris habeas corpus
case, in which the habeas corpus was de-
MED. and the case of M. l. Jones vs.. j. ID.
Glover, receiver
This is comparativelysa small docket,
but as u good many Of the cases were
confined the chances are that there will
be larger number 10 90 up from the De-
cember term.
