Gent and thoughtful officer Two girls,
apparently sisters and evidently strangers,
came off the ferry boat and stood be-

knew the street and number of their des-

OF getting there. They were being pulled
this way and that way, when Officer Nc
Glynn appeared. He soon learned the
girls wants, and, taking them to the
proper streetcar, gave the two unsophisti-
Gated strangers into the conductors

The hackmen considered that by the act
OF the officer two fares were lost to the
fraternity, and principle was thereby in
volved. They shook their licenses in the
face of the policeman, and it looked as if
his club must clear out the yelling gang
around him. However, threat from the
officer to run the whole gang in dispersed

The first of the coming trolley-wire
breaks occurred yesterday on East street,
near Market. The charged wire when it
parted fortunately did not fall on any
body. The broken end, however, wiggled
and twisted around, and several persons

shocks. The wire got into pile of dry
rubbish and the current set the mess on
fire. Two or three persons sprang forward
to extinguish the small cont1agration and
were knocked half across the street. After
long delay the current was shut off and
the break repaired

WORK OF AN INOENDIARY.
Attempt to Burn Down the Saloon of
John S. Macintosh.

An attempt was made at an early hour
yesterday morning to burn down the
saloon of John s. Macintosh, corner Of
Leavenworth and McAllister streets.
Some one opened the front door leading to
the upper story and started a fire at the
bottom of the stairway. Paper was stuffed
under the carpet on the bottom stair and
piled against the partition between the
stairway and the saloon and ignited.
Macintosh and friend from San Jose
were sleeping in the upper story. The
friend was awakened by the smell OF
smoke about 80 o'clock and reused Mac
Intosh from his slumbers. They made a
hurried examination and discovered the
fire at the bottom of the stairs, which was
extinguished with few bucketfuls of
water.

the description of either of the suspected
murderers. Captain Lees has since been
working steadily on the case and he finally
had Sandt arrested.
All the officers who made arrests about
the time the watch was found in the
prison had look at Sandt and Policeman
Dover of.the Harbor Police identified him
as 'sdrunk'' he had arrested. Sandt then
admitted that he had been arrested, but
denied knowing anything about the gold
watch. He said he was at the time stop

The DURRANT CASE.

The Durrant case has been watched
with deeo interest by all the reading
public on this Coast. Il has been
called the crime Of the century. and
the title seems to pe a fitting one. as
the circumstances surrounding the
case were unusual the object revolt
ing, and the prisoner held for the
crime a young man above the average
in regard to education.
The case as far as it has progressed
seems to point to the guilt Of the ac
cuSed man. One of the hardest fights
that DuTrant has had is the attitude
assumed by the newspapers. They
have helped as much as the detectives
and the prosecution to fasten the
crime onto him. No one could read
the headlines Of the Papers without
coming to the conclusion that he must
be the guilty man, as the PAL ers
openly declare so. Another feature
that has been brought to bear against
the prisoner, is the fact that nearly all
Of his former friends and close church
members have deserted him, and on
being placed OF the stand, have done
more for the prosecution than for the
defense. Even the members of the
signal corps which he was a member.
have volunteered information that has
helped tighten the moose.

WON'T SEE THE RAISE.

The sharp advance in the price Of
silver because Of the demand Of China
for a certain amount Of the metal for
the purpose Of paying another in
stallment to Japan, is something the
goldbugs will regard with pain. The
logical conclusions of their argu-
ments would seem to be that an in
crease in the demand for silver would
III it to depreciate still further :;
yet here we have another confirmation
Of the we'll known principle Of politi-
cal economy, which the goldbugs re-
fuse to recognize when it is used by
the bimetallists as an argument. The
free coinage Of silver would, of course
create a great demand for the white
metal, and its commercial value
would Immediately rise to its coinage
value but this is a truth the gold
bugs cannot or will not recognize,
and even practical illustrations like
that now being furnished by the silver
bullion market will not effect them.

From ar outside standpoint there is
an element Of humOr about the Cuban
situation. For instance, yesterday a
dispatch to a New York paper said
that General Martinez de CampOs was
prepared to take the field in Novem-
Der and simply annihilate the rebels,
while a dispatch to a Boston paper
said that Campos had thrown up his
hand, declared that the Instruction
lists could not be conquered, and
wanted to be recalled to Spain. You
pay your money and you take your
choice.
What is the difference in the method
of herding men by bosses and cattle
by cowboys? Men are first blindfolded
by the smoke and fog of the CONNER
cial press and led into political corrals
by the alluring voice Of financial
temptation. Cattle are frightened
from their ranges by the hideous yells
OF cowboys and the swinging Of their
lassoes and lured by decoy leaders
into the branding cOrrals Of the ha-
cienda.
There are many inquiries about
farming lands in Nevada. Eastern
capital is looking for safe investments
in real estate, and this State has all
the natural advantages to make its
lands desirable investments. Land
holders, real estate agents and those
having property for sale should be
alive nov and keep themselves before
the public.
Oscar Wilde's imprisonment has
killed the sale of his books in Eng

Mirabeau insists that the story is a
powerful piece of pleading for NOR
atty.
