SUGGESTION TO THE COUNCIL.

1t is strange that a cross walk, which
wonld be one Of the most travelled in the city
ifit were laid, has been allowed to exist in
contemplation of mind and in the desires of
the travelling public only. The postofice is
tn most frequented building in town, and to
reach the same it is decidedly inconvenient
to walk around the block or take to the mud.
The council should order a walk put in here
at once, or else scrape off the mud, or else
lay six-inch plank, or else provide stepping
stones, or else have small boy with sled,
or else pass an ordinance that mud be FASH
ionable and agreeable, or else have the
office moved over to the west side Of the
street. The pursuance Of any of these sug-
gestions will meet with our appreciation.

THREE IN PRISON.
Charged With the Estee
Robbery.
Over Half the Goods Stolen From
the Leavenworth- Street Resi-
dence Recovered.

Half OF the goods stolen from the residence OF
Morris NJ. Estee, 1908 Leavenworth street.
several weeks ago. have been recovered and
three men are now In the City Prison charged
with the crime. Their names are Ora Betkin,
Daniel Smith and Nj. J. Hanks.
The men were arrested yesterday afternoon
by Detectives Bee and Harper and officers
Scott, Campbell and McGrath. They have
been positively identified as the persons who
disposed OF the recovered goods.
The robbery occurred one Sunday afternoon
when th entire Estee family were absent from
the house The men gained entrance through a
rear window and ransacked the house from top
to bottom. They took all the slverware, the
dresses of the women folks and all of Mr.
Estee'S Masonic emblems. When the occu-
pants returned they found the house turned
tOpsy-turYy, showing that the thieves had not
overlooked a place where any portable valu-
ables might have been kept. They secured
plumber TO the amount of about $500.
Shortly after the robbery the detectives be-
came convinced that Smith, who keeps lodg-
ing-house at Fifth and stevenson streets, and
who is we'll known to the authorities, had a
hand In II. He was watched constantly, as
were Botkin and Hanks, who were much In his
company. The longer the detectives watched
the more they became convinced that they had
located the right men ana yesterday the arrests
followed.
The police now believe that Smith at least
was connected with the Nightingale burglary
also.
The three men are said to have entered the
residence of Il. G. Atkins at COS Geary street.
during the absence of the family on July %
and stolen $1,000 worth of clothing, jewelTy
and sllyerware. On August they are said TO
have entered John 1vancoVch's residence, at
1916 Van Ness avenue, and stolen $1,000
worth OF slverware. jewelry and clothing.
Fart OF the stolen goods has been recovered.

THE NEW LEAGUE.
Interest in Baseball Is Rapidly Gain

AHS LOot VII OuIus
Three weeks ago nearly everybody had made
up his mind that baseball was dead duck in
California. Since then two of the teams OF the
State League have played two magnificent
games, and interest has revived to such an ex-
tent as 10 give promise OF developing into a

During the past few days negotiations have
been pushed, looking to getting Stockton ana
Sacramento teams into the league and matters
are shaping rapidly now TO that end. With the
placing of this four-club league in the field the
young blood OF California will have its first open
chance of showing excellence on the diamond.
Those who witnessed the first two games of
tile season between the CALIFORNIA; and the San
Franciscos cannot help but admit that
