1T WASN'T THE BURGLAR.
The Police Thought They Had Him,
but the Robberies Keep Right On.

The burglars are not done with the
southern portion of the city vet. Mr. w
A. Jaudon's house on Gwinnett street, be-
tween Abercorn and Lincoln, was entered
a night or two ago. The burglar ran
sacked the rooms, going through bureaus
and clothing, and secured several dollars
Money appeared to be what he was after,
for he left jewelry and other things of
value that ne might have taken.
The house was entered the same way
that most of the houses in the southern
part of the city have been entered-by
cutting blind and raising the sash
Mr.. John Schley's residence, nearly OPP
posite MIR. Jaudon'S, was entered the
same night but nothing of much value
was secured.
The police and detectives made show
recently of hunting for the burglars that
have infested the southern part of the
city, but that is all that it has amounted
to. About week ago they were pretty
sure they had caught the man they were
after, but as the burglaries keep right on
they must have been mistaken. The
people in the southern part of the city
have about as much protection from
burglars as they would have on a prairie.

A Goose of More Than Forty-Five
Years.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call. 'e
Col. B. B. jackson, OF Siskiyou county,
who is one of the commissioners to the
fair, is auxiously awaiting the appear
ance of live goose which is supposed to
be on It's way TO this city and, which if its
identity proves what every indication
points it to be, will effectually knock the
pins from under all the tales told about a
goose not living to great age. History
does not tell US at just what age the old
gray goose" died of which the old song
treats, but the general impression seems
TO be that the fowl in question seldom at
tans greater age than 10 or II years
The evidence at hand, however. would
seem TO indicate that his gooseship of
which this item treats is hale old
fellow of over IS years. Col Jackson
gives the following particulars of the
goose's early history: I'm 1891 and eight
other Oregonians ran across Kit Carson
and Gen. Fremont with a small force of
men near the sink of the Humboldt in
Nevada They had been rounded up by a
lot of Indians, but we beat them off and
all went into camp together on the spot.
Provisions had got pretty ~, and one
day Carson proposed To me that we 20 out
and try for some deer. We started out to-
gether and met with poor luck and while
separated from Kit ana took a shot al a
from me. just after l fired l noticed
futtering sound coming from the direc-
ton in which | mad aimed, and upon in
vestigation found young goose. which
had been slightly injured, but had be-
come entangled in the thick underbush
and thus prevented from escaping At this

that we take rest, at the same time tell
ing him that l was going to mark the goose
and let 60 For this purpose / took
the tin tag which always came around
the percussion-cap boxes furnished by
Uncle Sam in those days, and marked
the initials of my name and the date on

with file which we carried
to repair the locks of our guns. This tar
was twisted around the Fooses leg in
such manner as 10 prevent its falling of

| ever heard Of the goose until few days
ago, when letter informed me that Jim

had the goose in his possession alive and
well. My information states that the
tag is intact and that the initials are still
plainly visible.

Presently they heard noise as If some

One of the party, more composed and
more skeptical than the others. proposed
TO march upon the enemy Heavily armed,

preached the haunted adobe, and when
within about twenty feet they halted.
The one who recovered his power Of speech
first exclaimed: There's the wagon. the

away but how happens IL that the old
woman can bring ii here2 / thought that
old wagon was still in Los Angeles"
THAT is not wagon, IL is the shadow
of an eucalyptus tree; don't be afraid,
follow me, said another of the quartette,
who had now recovered his oozing courage.
With revolvers in readiness and every
nerve mustered for the trying occasion,
the four men approached the haunted
house, half hoping that they would not
find what they were searching for. The
man In the lead was local savant and an
investigator of materialism. AS he en-
tered the door he saw, instead of the
ghost of an old Indian woman, three men
with pickaxes and shovels delving away
as If digging their own graves He
dropped his lantern, but was evidently
too full of the spirit TO express himself,
and as he and his companions were in the
act of moving away without further cere-
mony the clicking OF few revolvers
brought them to full realization that
they had found something more tangible
than ghosts.
These real ghosts were McGray, his
lawyer, Brindson, and the Indians law
yer, Windnew, who had been let into the
main cause of the expulsion of the Indian
from his little plot of ground. They
wanted the adobe house. The searchers
for ghosts were
AS MUCH SURPRISED
AS were the men who had caused the re-
ports to be circulated that the hut was
haunted. The investigators were let into
the secret, and promised portion OF the

The mission of San Fernando was occu-
pied at the time by Fremont's freebooters,
who waited there in safety while Gen.
Kearny marched upon and captured Los
Angeles, where the Mexican flag was
lowered finally Hearing OF Fremont's
approach, the friars at the mission put
all OF their church ornaments in BOXES
and buried them. About $4,000 was
sewn up in leather sacks and also buried.

BUSINESS SEEMS BETTER.
Uncertainty Whether the Orders Com
ing In Arc New Ones.

A Possibility That They Are Only Re
newals of Orders Withdrawn and

Idleness in the Iron and Steel Mills.
Many Textile Mills Closed-A Fairly

New York, June s.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade will say to-mor-
row: The outlook for business seems a
little better, on the whole, though the
change is not great. Moreover, it is i'm
possible to distinguish between mere re-
placement of orders cancelled for want OF
fuel or other causes and the new bust
ness for which works are anxiously
looking. That the cancellations have
been heavy is certain, and it is not en-
tirely clear that orders of equal magni-
tude have gone to other works that are
able to ill them. Through the agency Of
strikes, the interruption of industry and
commerce increases every week. Hence
1t is somewhat encouraging that the de-
crease in payments through clearing
houses is but 24.3 per cent. for the first
week of June, 27.2 at New York, but only
1874 elsewhere, The decrease in compar-
lson with 1892 is about 90 per cent.

with his own position as author of the
| proviso, made him unpopular with a
| large element of his party. When he
! came up for reelection in 1850 there
was trouble. The district was composed
of Tioga, Bradford and Susquehanna
counties. Wilmot secured the regular
nomination in Bradford county, and
was also named by the Free Soil wing
! Of the party in Tioga county. With two
/ Democratic candidates, il was evident
; that Wing would be elected. Wilmot

MIR. Grow entered public life at a
critical period. The previous congress,
which contained but nine ayowed anti
slavery men, had passed Clay's omnibus
bill and the fugitive slave law, and all
parties, save the small contingent of

the slavery question was settled for

views, took and from the outset MAIN
