ALLEGED ROBBERY.
A Hackman Accused of Snatching 6
Purse From a Woman.

A Hackman Accused of Snatching a
Purse From a Woman.
A Mrs. Hyden reported at the police
station last evening that she had been
robbed of between eight and nine dollars
by hackman at the depot.
She stated that she called a Guerney
| cab to take her from Fourth and o streets
| to the depot for the o'clock train for
Suisun. When she arrived at the depot
she alighted from the cab and drew from
her pocket a handkerchief in which she
had about SO 50-a five-dollar gold piece
and some silver.
According to her story, and that of her
brother, who was with her, a hackma
stepped up, snatched the money from her
and said:
"rll settle with him for you"
lie then paid the cab-driver a half
| dollar and put the balance of the money,
except - cents, into his own pocket. A
dlme iell on the ground, and the hack
man sald: There's the rest of your
money; pick it up"
The woman summoned Ben True. the
railroad detective, but in the meantime
the hackman had jumped upon his hack
and driven OFF. A description Of the man
was given, and both Mrs Hyden and her
brother say they can identify him.
As usual, there was no one at the police
station with authority to issue warrant,
and after delay of q couple of hours no
effort at an arrest had been made.
Inc description given by the woman
very closely tits a certain man whose
name IS frequently coupled with crooked
transactions.

THICK As THE FOG.
The Mystery That Still EnveIops the
Brighton Tragedy.
Jefferis' Case Being Inquired Into by
the Grand Jury-AIiss Ayres Was
in a Fire at Bantas.

The Brighton tragedy matter appears
to have landed with a dull thud some
where. The boozy Swede and the imag-
NATIVE opium fiend have had their day,
and yet the mystery remains unsolved.
The prosecution appears at loss for
proof of Jefferis having been at Brighton
on the night of the tragedy, nobody hav-
ing yet come forward to say that he was
seen any further east than Twenty first
street. Whatever evidence the officers
have, however, will now be submitted to
the Grand Jury, which body has under
taken an inquiry into the case.
A telegram from Oakland states that
the Brighton fire was the second one
Miss Ayres had been through, and in the
first fire she nearly lost her life.
While Miss Ayres was station agent at
Bantas, little station near Tracy, some
five or six years ago, the station caught
fire. Like the Brighton station it was
little more than barn, and one night it
caught fire. Miss Ayres made her escape,
but was badly burned, and all but lost
her life in trying to return to the burning
building.
Miss Ayres, as has already been proved,
was very saving, and from her humble
salary she had saved several thousand
dollars. She did not believe in banks or
other institutions for saving money, and
she kept it around the little station, hid
den away among the ratters and in odd
hooks and corners.
When the fire surprised her she tried to
save her money, and in doing that nearly
lost her life in the burning building. She
was badly burned.
From the stories told around the Oak
land pier it is evident that the peculiar
relations that existed between Miss Ayres
and Jefleris have existed longer than has
been stated. The two We're IN CORE
spondence as long as six years ago, about
the time that Jetieris married his pres
ent wife. She was then agent at Bantas,
and he had freight run to Sacramento
from Lathrop. She was then correspond
ing with him, and sent letters to him in
care of the agent at Gait.
This was generally known, and the
boys on the road used to say, ''She is in a
hurry to get married"
The wife of Engineer Jefieris was not
at her home on Sunday night, and the
neighbors nave not seen her for three
days They believe she is in Sacramento,
despite the reports that she cannot be
found there, for she had announced her
intention of going there several days ago.

SABBATH AFTERMATH.
Repentant Sinners Before the Bar of
the Police Court.


the Police Court.
The first dose administered by Judge
Buckley at the opening of yesterdays
session of the Police Court was to J. A.
Moseley, charged with battery upon his
wife. The Judge pronounced judgment
against him to the tune OF $50, which,
while it might be gilded pill, was bit
ter one.
John Phillips appeared on a charge of
misdemeanor, in breaking wire of the
hre-alarm system.
c. \. Post, Acting City Attorney, stated
that MIR. Watkins, the superintendent,
informed him that it was an accident, the
limb of a tree which the defendant was
cutting having swung around unex-
pectedIy and struck the wire, and that he
did not think it was intentional.
superintendent Watkins said he offered
to help Phillips take the limb down, but
was told that he could attend to the busi-
ness himself.
The defendant spoke and understood
very little English, and the Judge dis
missed him with reprimand, telling the
interpreter, Peter Newman, to convey
gently but firmly TO him the information
that hereafter he must take great care of
his limbs.
''Scotty," who was charged with being
drunk, stated that 1t was the first time
he had ever been in this fix; that having
met a friend from the country he took a
drink or two with him, as other distin-
guished gentlemen present did OCCASION
ally, but if the Judge would be lenient
he would be more careful in future.
Scotty was discharged with a repri-
mand and some good advice.
John Jackson, charged with a like Of
tense, was anxious to get back to his job
of sheep herding. He only took one
drink, which knocked him crazy. He
had not been in court before for six
months, and would shake of his feet
what dust the fog had lett lying around
loose.
The court thought as he was crippled
he could be of more use at his regular JOB
than ia the Jail, and he stepped out at a
lively gait on the road to liberty.
George Buckley was charged with
vagrancy by Officer Lowell, and pleaded
guilty. The officer testified that the
prisoner was begging on X street, be-
tween Third and Fourth, and was very
persistent in his demands Tor money
from passers-by, following them quar-
ter Of block, and being so annoying that
he took him in.
Buckley swore he had come from Te-
hama junction, where he had been work
ing under the railroad section boss, but
had quit. He had been drinking some,
and that was the reason of his begging.
He had a job at Benicia. and would
guarantee to go to it if allowed to do so.
The Judge was obdurate, however, and
sent his namesake TO Jail for thirty days.

Meeting of the Directors OF tho state
Penitentiary Held Yesterday
A meeting Of the Board of Directors
of the State prison was held at Mounds
willie Yesterday. All OF the members
were present, as well as number OF
candidates. The members OF the Board
are John A. Mcintosh, OF RaVenswood;
A. c. Hall, of Charleston. John j. Chip
lev. of Moorefed: John L. Gallaher, OF
Moundsyille; aud ID. E. StalnaKer, OF this
city. An organization was effected by
the selection OF Mr.. Mcintosh as Presi-
dent. 1t was the first meeting held Tor
two months, and a great amount OF
business was transacted. Hon. A.
d. Garden and Candidate Schafer
were among those who went down from
this city. The Board will hold another
meeting to-day, when it is probable that
some changes will be made in the OIL
cials az the Prison. There are at least
two members of the Board who consider
il inexpedient 10 make any changes In
the guards, filling the places OF the pres
ent officers with new and inexperienced
men, and for this reason 1t is probable
that no changes will be made at present.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Meighen, who at one
time conducted the Democratic paper
at MoundSvilie, but is now practiclng
law at that place, has az the earnest
solicitation Of friends, announced him
self as a candidate for Clerk OF the Pen
iteutiary. Mr.. Meighen did not de-
termine to enter the race for this place
till after be was assured that all opposi-
ton from this section was withdrawn.
Mr.. Friend Cox is not candidate for
reelection, and there is no one else In
the field. Mr.. Meighen is deserving on
the ground Of efficiency, integrity and
party work. He has always been an &C
tive worker in the party in Marshall,
and his fitness for the place goes with
out saying. His many friends in Mar
shall hope that his claims will be fairly
considered by the Board.

NEWS RECEIVED OF RI. REV. BISHOP 8AIE'
PROMOTION.
A Telegram Received From Rome Yesterday,
Which FOrsshadows Speedy Appointment
by the Vatican to s.. Louis.

The following Associated Press tele-
gram was received in this city yester-
day
ROME, May 3.-Conirmation has been
received from an inside source OF the
report that Monslgnor John Joseph
Kahn, of Wheeling, w. Va, is to be ap-
pointed coadjutor to Archbishop Ken
rick, of st. Louis.
While the above is not an absolutely
authorltive statement, it leaves no room
to doubt that the former reports, from
various sources, Of the promotion OF ht.
Rev. Bishop Kahn, were true, ana the
official papers may arrive In this CITY at
any time. The Ri. Rev. Blshop
is still at New Orleans. and Will
not be home before Monday Of next
week, 1t being his original idea TO ar
rive here on that date, to be present at
the opening of the M. Reilly VIII con-
test, he being one of the executors. "A
telegram was sent him yesterday, now
ever, notifying him Of the postponement
of the case, as stated elsewhere In this
issue of the REGISTER, and IL may De
that he will defer his arrival uneli
about the 18th inst. At New orleans,
as here in Wheeling and at st. Louis.
there has been a practical unanlmlty OF
belief that the Rt. Rev. Bishop would
receive the appointment referred TO-,
and those best advised in the premises,
or rather having the best knowledge OF
the general situation, for there mas
been nothing more definite than what
has been published from time to time,
| are fully prepared for the receipt OF Inc
official brief from Rome at any day.
Once the official notification OF the
promotion is in the hands OF the Rt
Rev. Bishop, he will be the coadJ tutor
of Archbishop Kendrick, but would OF
course, do nothing in that capacity
until the receipt of all the papers. Ihe
Bishopric of Wheeling would thus be-
come vacant, and the affairs OF the
diocese would be administered In most
matters probably by Mgr. j. L. Sulli-
van until the appointment OF new
Bishop by the Vatican. For this hlgn
office the Bishops OF the Province OF
Baltimore, outside of Wheeling, VINO
are located at Wilmington, Richmond,
| O0dIlHSIOu,
St. Augustine, Fla, will nominate
three persons to Rome from among
whom a selection can be made, but
these nominations merely indicate the
judgment or preference of the Bishops
of the Province, and an appointment
can be made aside from the three nom
nations, should such a course appear
| best.
The Province OF st. Louis, to which
Ri, Rev. Kahn will go, is most import
ant one, embracing some halt-dozen
Bishoprics, scattered over several OF the
Middle Western States. The promo
ton of the BIT. Rev. Bishop is justly
esteemed a very great honor by his null
titude of friends in this city and do
cese, but nevertheless Catholic and
Protestant alike will deplore the re-
moval OF so excellent a prelate and citi-
zen to other fields.
