A TRAY OF DIAMONDS GONE
The Daring Work of Robber in San
Francisco
Pawnbroker Lockeu nj MS Shop, Window
Smashed and a BusheI of
BriIiiants Stolen

San Francisco, Feb. ia man en-
tered Franklin's pawn shop on Post
street, in the heart of the business sec
tion of the city, tonight and presenting a
pistol at the head of the proprietor,
grabbed tray of diamonds and fed The
proprietor attempted to stop the thief,
but the robber fired shot at the pawn
broker, the bullet narrowly missing him.
The thief had a horse in waiting and es-
capped.
The robbery, which occurred at about 8
O'Clock, was particularly daring one.
The street was crowded with people when
a boy slipped up to the open doors of the
pawnshop, and, closing them, slipped a
Yale lock through staple on the outside
and locked Franklin in. At the same
time a man smashed the show window
and seized tray of diamonds. Probably
100 people saw the act and one man,
bolder than the rest seized the robber
from behind. With an oath the
thief commanded him to let go, at
the same time firing his pistol. The
shot did not take effect, but it scared the
captor and he released his hold. The
robber darted to an alley near by, and
mounting horse was soon out of sight
The boy also got away. In his haste the
robber dropped some of the diamonds and
the tray but got off with most of the
jewels. The exact value OF the stolen da-
monds is not known but it is at least sew
eral hundred dollars

Naval Bill

Washington, Feb. l9.-A general reso-
luton was adopted authorizing the Secre.
tary of the Navy to donate certain cannon
to the Oregon State Soldiers Home
The consideration of the naval appro-
priaton bill was resumed, the pending
question being the decision of the chair
on the point of order raised by Mr.. Sayres
against the item in the bill AUTHORIZING
the Secretary of the Navy to enlist at his
discretion 2000 additional seamen with
which to man the new ships.
The chairman announced his decision
overruling the point of order.
Mr.. Sayres appealed from the decision
of the chair. The chair was sustained, l47
to 81
The committee of the whole rose in

the agricultural Appropriation bills were
disagreed to and the bill sent to confer.

THE JONES ILL
Strong Probability That the neasure VIII
Get Hearing

Washington, Feb l9.-The probability
that the Jones silver bill will secure a
hearing in the House, if it is passed by
the Senate, is very small. An apparent
ly impossible barrier stands before the
first step necessary to bring it before the
House, the favorable report from that
committee. The bill will be referred to
the Coinage, Weights and Measures Com
mittee of which Mr.. Bland, the silver adj
vocate, is the chairman, in the course of
House routine, but unfortunately for the
silver men, that committee is very mar
rowly divided ION the question of free
coinage with a probable majority of one
against it. With full muster of the
seventeen members there are eight to be
listed on each side of the question, with
Mr.. Kilgore of Texas holding the balance
of power. Mr.. Kilgore was formerly ac-
counted free silver advocate, but has
been recently thought to hold views an
tagonistic to free silver. An additional
advantage for the opponents of free silver
is found in the absence of Mr.. Sweet of
Idaho, who is engaged in a contest for the
Senate at home, so at best the silver men
could only hope for a tie vote in the COM
mittee.
Chairman Bland says he will exert
every influence in his power to secure a
quorum if the Jones bill is sent to the
House, but he does not entertain strong
hopes that he can secure report on the
bill. If it could be reported he could call
1t up as privileged in the House and the
body would be compelled to place itself on
record on the silver question unencum-
bered by other issues, proposition that
it has not yet been called to vote upon.

FUGITIVE AND CONVICT
Another Story About Contractor From

chant and army contractor of Crawford
and Hyanis, now fugitive fom justice
with creditors left in the lurch for $l5. 600
is the same Albert b. Whipple who was
sent to prison in Iowa in 1886. Whipple
was agent of the C. B. & z. road at Coin
Ia, at that time and was sent to the peni-
tentiary for forging railroad tickets. A
young woman who was desperately in

ing his pardon Whipple went West and
became quartermaster's clerk in Wvom-
ing. Later he secured army contracts,
opened stores at Crawford and Hyanis
and started bank. One day Whipple was
found locked in the bank vault and $4,000
was stolen. He said the bank had been
robbed and he had been locked in the
vault. His story was believed until fine
wire was found leading into the vault by
means OF which he had been able to sin
the bolt One stakeholder of the bank
made Whipple buy his stock at the point
OF gun after this. Whipple's friends

midnight on the stage of the big hall in
the Masonic Temple, one of the finest
blocks in Stockton, and before it was dis
covered and an alarm turned in, the great
hall was filled with smoke and fire, which
were bursting from every window. The
firemen had terrible battle before
them owing TO the fact that the
interior of the hall was in a
condition that made human life i'm

had caught fire in several places. The
fremen announced, however, that the
fire was under control and it looks as if
the building would be saved.

Patrick Currap, who has been in the employ of Landlord Leonard for two years. was caught in the cellar of the hotel about o'clock, Tuesday morning, about to help himself from the casks of liauors. He was arrested by Constable
 Blackman and brought before Justice Cavanaugh. The case against him was
 nolled on the payment of the costs and damages. A warrant was also issued for the arrest of John Kelly, better known as
 ssRed Jack, on the charge of receiving
 stolen goods. Creamery butter, empty wine and champagne bottles, were found at his house, which had evidently been stolen from the hotel. He was fined $2 and costs. MT Leonard had been missing various food and liquid goods for some time, and was glad to locate the thief l MT Leonard suspects that other parties besides ssRed Jack" were enjoying 1 s'spreads'' at his expense, who may be at tended to in due, time.

he was called into her room, where ne questioned her again in the presence or Messrs Leonard and Blackman. To his question regarding people being able to get into her room she answered that no 1 one as far as she knew had access to her room, but the door was not locked and any one could go in, but she had not seen any one. That he could not bring wit nesses who saw her set the fire in her room, for she didn't do 1t. Mir Beecher asked about the conversation between the witness and himself, but MT Williams objected and Justice Camp sustained him. Mir Northrop further stated that he did not say to Mrs Lowell in Kate's presence that the incident of finding the paper in Kate's bed was enough to tell who set the fires.
 During the cross examination he testi- fled tbat he had been lawyer since lSS0, ard was secretary and treasurer Of the Newtown Savings Bank. That he asked Kate a great many questions which she answered frankly and as far as he knew honestly and without the slightest hesi tancy on her part. To questions asked by Mir Beecher he remembered Kate say- ing she had seen no suspicious persons about the house and in regard to the barns she had said to the best of his re- collection that she supposed they'd De burning the barns next.
 Mir Lowell was again introduced and identified the drip cup to the oil tank which was found in the ash barrel which was exhibited in court.

Mir Williams then took turn at queS- tioning Mir Lowell, who stated that pans, etc., were kept in the closet in kate's room and there was no closet for Kate to hang her clothes in. That his insurance policies were cancelled when the loss was settled on the Monday or Tuesday after the fire.
