A BOLD BURGLAR.
He Enters a Warehouse
on Battery Street
And RobS the Safe of c. p. Down
ing, Wholesale Druggist, of
About $500.

A bold burglar got away with about $500
in coin from the safe of o. P. Downing,
wholesale druggist III Battery street, on
Wednesday night, and detectives are now
trying t. find out his identity.
The burglary was committed between
5:45 and o'clock, when the watchman
discovered that the place had been entered.
The ground floor is occupied by the
Paraffine Paint Company and the upper
fiooI by Mr.. Downing. The suppositon
is that the robber had hidden himself in
the warehouse OF the Paraffine Company
among the numerous bales and barrels Of
goods.
Richard S. Shaiuwald. the secretary of
the company, left the Office al 80 P. NJ,
the stanographer a few minutes later, and
the office boy locked up the place at 5 :45.
The usual hour for closing is o'clock,
but yesterday being collection day they
were later than usu |.
Mr.. Downing and his clerks had left at
5P. N. The bo0kkeeper was t. return at
s O'Clock and do some work ana Simply
turned the com binatOn of the SAFE slightly
in t 'ad # full. so as not to be d layed in
opening it when he returned.
At the bottom of the stairway Leading TO
Downing's warehouse there i a small win
dow. which gives light to some shelves in
the ParaInDe COMPANY warehouse. InlS
window was broken, and it is supposed
the burIlar broke it and crawlsd through.
Il was then easy fer bin to run upsttirs,
open the door of Downing's warehouse
with skeleton key and effect an entrance.
1t was also very easy for him t. open the
safe door. But he found that the cash was
in a small drawer locked with a srring
lock. This he forced open vi the heIp
of Jimmy" and he def " extracted the
| coin.
He had again crawled through the
broken window aud made his exit into tha
street by window il the Paraffine Com
pany's warehouse. This window has iron
dnur., which are cl1sed from the inside.
These iroD doors b lag open was what
drew the watchmaa'S attention about Z
O'Clock to the fact that something vas
wrong. He made a hurried examination
of the premises. and when Mr. d wning'S
bookkeep3r returned he was able to tell
him all about how It was done.
The safe in The Paratfine COmpauy's
warehouse was locked securely, aud 10
attempt had been made TO open II.
There is strong suspicion that the
burglar was not unacgualnted with the i'll
terror of the two warehouses, aud the de-
tectlves hope to place their hands uDon
him soon.

Loud received the solid votes of the dele

Judge Z. II. Heacoek, at the opening OF
the convention of the Fifth Congressonal al
! District, moved that the chairman appoin,
committee of three TO act with like
committee from the Fourth District on
platform and resolutions.
A viva voce vote had been taken and
Chairman p. B. Cornwall was about to
decide in favor of the motion, when dele
gates in the rear OF the hall began to cry
out for division.
Pre't of San Mateo declared that the
adoption of a platform would be a work of
snpererogation. A platform had been
adopted by the State convention at Sacra-
mento and that was amply sufficient.
j. Z. Savage claimed the floor. He as
serted that the railroad question was one
which must be considered; that the candi-
date for Congress must be pledged against
the Reilly funding bill. or else would he
beaten. 1t was necessary that an anti
railroad plank should supplement the
platform adopted at Sacramento. "Estee
himself had to supplement- the Sacrament to
platform with a declaration of bis own,"
shouted Mr.. Savage
There was a question raised about Mr.
Savage's right to the floor. He held Louis
BlumenthaPs proxy at Sacramento. Mr..
Blumenthal desired 10 recall it and was
present The chair ruled that he could
recall his proxy. in spite of an earnest pro-
test by Savage, and was finally forced to
threaten to have a sergeant-at-arms remove
Mr.. Savage from the floor before he could
quiet that gentleman.
Judge Heacock remarked: sit is we'll
Ep0Wn that hlioan 10
was held at Sacramento early in the sea-
son. Since then a new issue has arisen.
That issue is the Reilly funding bill, a
Democratic measure proposed by a Demo-
cratic Congressman and now 10 the hands
of a Democratic committee. It is proper
| that the Fourth and Fifth District Con-
! gressional conventions should stand on a
plank connected with that issue. When
the Sacra meDto convep ton met the Reilly
funding bill was not an issue. and no one
could foresee that such measure would
! be brought forward. l am sure that no
delegate to this convention fears to meet
| that issue. All the delegates need is to un-
derstand the purport of the resolution
which l have introduced. 1 take it hat
we can reaffirm the original platform
adopted at Sacramento and supplement IL
with plank 20 meet the new issue"
George A. knight made an earnest ad-
dress. He mentioned Estee's position
taken on the issue when it came up, and
declared that in a speech at Sacramento
the Democratic nominee for Governor had
declared that the issue was one which be-
longed to the Congressional conventions
Either this convention is for the Reilly
funding bill," said he, ''or it is against It,
