is merely an organized company of

Booth was arrested and the boy was also

where he gave the name of James John

Chief Crowley on Saturday and confessed
that he was the boy wanted. The police

other young men were implicated.
Crossen. who is now locked up in "the

Crossen has sense enough to know that
he has done wrong, but he certainly does
not seem 10 appreciate the fact to its full
est extent. From his manner it is difficult
to decide whether the theft of the S24OO
was the result Of a rearranged plan with
him and the other two young men or
whether he was a victim of two clever
steerers. who are so plentiful in Gotham.
1t is lot known yet whether his return
to New York will be asked for or not. The
police there are searching for his two ac-
completes.

TRANSFERS IN JEOPARDY
Difficulties Which Beset Eureka VAL
lev Visitors.

Complaints are made by those living in
the neighborhood of Seventeenth and
Uranus streets. near the Mount Olympus
statue, OF an embankment that is left I'M
guarded and unfenced and is a source of
danger to those who frequent the neigh
borhood. A huge bluff has been left by
street contractors at the crossing named
and nothing indicates or gives warning to
those unaware of the Same that they are
likely and in danger OF falling to their
death.
From Ashbury street road much used
leads directly to the crossing Of Uranus
and Ashbury streets. and many cases are
told where teamslers, unaware of the
change that had taken place. had narrowly
escaped being hurled into the cut some fif-
teen feet below.
The house-owpers of the locality OK
press themselves as strongly Of the opinion
that something should be done by the
Street Superintendent to warn and keep
out those who are constantly led toward
this danger spot.
Several efforts have been made by the
property-oWners to have Seventeenth
street cut through from Uranus to Ash
bury and the danger thus done away with,
but the attempt has as yet not been sue
cess. and they are unable to tel! how much
longer the embankment will thus remain.

Many anxious inquiries are being made
as to the intentions of the Market-street
Railway Company relative to the building
and mpietion of the Page-street ca BILE
road, for which franchise was secured
December 6, 1890. The three years time
allowed has almost expired. and since the
first year. when about a mile of ca bic road
bed was put down, nothing has since been
done to warrant those interested along the
line that the hopedfor street railway will
be in operation at the end of the specified
period. The road has been constructed
from Page and Baker streets to the pro-
posed terminus at Frederick street and
First avenue. and a huge turntable has
been lying adjacent for more than year
waiting to be placed in position.
Between Baker aud Market streets no
ground = natever has vet been broken on

Mrs. Charles Peake, who Tor two weeks
past has been holding revival meetings
nightly In the Second United Presbyterian

been determined to have her continue the
meetings another week.
Mrs. Peake is a lady of considerable lit
eTary ability. having been frequent con-
tributor 10 the press before coming to
California. She was also for number of
years upon the stage as an actor. She
was converted during the revival meetings
held by Mr.. Moody in this city about
dozen years ago, and has been an earnest
and Jealous Christian worker ever since.
1t was only recently, however, that she
decided to enter the 6sld a. an evangelist,
