WASHERS OUT IN FORCE.

These Gentry Should Receive the Atten-
tion of the Police.
The street corner "mashers" were out
in full force yesterday-Saturday being
tacitly considered by these bipeds as the
principal flirting day of the week. These
fellows live by some mysterious manner
unknown to respectable people.
Some of them are confidence operators,
who lay in wait for the stranger, make
his acquaintance under some plausible
pretext, and either borrow money from
him, "rope" him against dice game,
or into one of the numerous poker
games, and evea against some female
adventures. In either event the stran.
ger is robbed, and the fashily. dressed
masher and confidence operator gets his
percentage.
These professional loafers stand upon
the principal street corners, insulting
by their leers and vulgar remarks every
loung lady who passes. Any stylish
lady who passes is sure TO attract their
attention, and the fellows have the au
dacity to tip their hats, with the view
Of indulging in filtration.
No woman with any self-respect
would, of course, pay the slightes atten-
ton to these vermin. Knowing that
ladies do not like notoriety, and that
complaints are not likely to be made to
the police, these fellows feel secure.
They are more contemplate and more
deserving of punishment than the
drunken vagrants who hang around the
corner of First and Main streets.
These well dressed fellows are clearly
vsgrants and should be treated as such.
The police should ferret them out and
run them in.

He Pays South Riverside a Visit En-
Route to Temsscal.
The step-father of John and George
Sontag, the train robbers, was seen on
the streets of South Riverside yesterday
morning, says Fridays Press of that
city. He WAS recognized by resident
of that place who used to be acquainted
with Mr. Sontag and the boye, John and
George Constant, while they were living
in Manksto, Mimi, Mr.. Sontag keeping
hotel at that place.
Mr.. Sontsg and his companion, man
of about 50 or go years, came from the
direction of Los Angeles, and after TAX
ing breakfast at the bakery and restaur-
ant and inquiring the road to Temescal,
left in that direction. Their outfit con-
sisted of q horse and buggy, with COM
plete camping outfit. The horse showed
hard driving. There is no doubt about
it's being Mr.. Sontsg, as Mr.. Lilly was
well acquainted with the family in the
east. The supposition is that Mr.. Som
tsg is driving through to Lower Califor-
mia to see his son John and Chris Evans.

ment Of Judge Shaw was sustained. The
opinion was quite lengthy. It's leading
idea was that the facts as to the con-
tempt were correct, and that the courts
would not disturb judgment of that
kind for mere irregularity.
The defendant appeared before Judge
Shaw during the day and apologized for
his remarke, stating that they were
made under a misapprehension of the
facts in connection with the statements
made to him by the receiver of the
restaurant business. Upon this state.
ment Judge Shaw remitted the balance
of the sentence, Hreciach having been
in Jail pending the disposition of the
habeas corpus proceedings, and the de-
fendant was discharged.

Hreciach 800 and five days in Jail for
contempt of court in saying about. the

fore he would obey the order made in
his partnership controversy about a res
taurant where receiver was appointed.
Hreciach WAS taken by his counsel on
habeas corpus proceedings before Judges
Clark and Van Dyke, Judge Shaw also
sitting with them, and it was claimed
that the contempt judgment was not
legal on various grounds. 1t was urged
that the contempt was committed out
side the presence of the court, and that
he had not cited the defendant before
him in proper form.
An opinion was filed by Judge Clark

WAsH1NGroN, August 25 MIR. Hill
democrat of New York; took the floor
and began his speech, the opening para

ton.
There were those Mr.. Hill said, who
did not wholly agree with the President

hastily join with him in the rosy concln-
sion that the financial millennium is to
come the moment the Sherman law is re-
moved
He compared his own course in deClaTs
ing for repeal with the Presidents course
in failing to refer it until this late day.
He was bi>metallist and stood for free
coinage at proper ratio. Had the Sher-
man law been repealed at the last session
or in special session on the 5th of March,
the United States would have escaped the
present panic and precl,ided the closure
of the Indian mints. Independent free
bi.metallic coinage of the United States
was not consistent with the counsels OF
monetary science. While repeal would
not bring parity it would facilitate it by
bring that tangled monetary theory,
gold mono metalllsm, begotten in the
embraces Of ignorance with rapacity-Ai

vile, Ala, is the chosen place for
the school.
&Several eligible sites, somewithin
and others without the city limits,
have been offered for sale at reason
able rates, for school purpose. Pri-
ces vary from $4,000 to $4,000 ac-
cording to location, to number of
acres, and quality of buildings and
other improvements. While await
ing for the sale Of Bowling Green

lists grandly to aid the colored race

thing increditable that some rich
man or woman, richer in grace than
in the worlds good, will soon write

$4,000 to 100000 for the purchase
of property ard endowments?
a proposition of Rev. j, F. Hum
phrey to open preparatory school
about Sept, 1st was approved by the
commission without assuming, how
ever. any financial responsibility
therefor. Mr. Humphrey is pastor
offs large church in Huntsville, and

the support of his brethren, white

There was no thunder and no lightning

Instead of this, after day of threats
manifested in an overcast sky, an occa-

sultry to painful degree, there came an
outbreak that startled those who were on
the streets.
A gentle breeze began to relieve the
sultriness Just before / o'clock. Within
10 minutes it had increased to violence
that was calculated to frighten the timid

caught every light object, hat, an um-

air so that its volume was apparently
