train, which reached Oakland last night,
just two hours late.
For the tWenty-four hours before the
arrival of the train passengers had been
complaining to the conductor about val
uable baggage stolen, and just before
the mole was reached the brakeman
missed his overcoat. The story of the
stolen baggage and overcoat was told
To Deputy Sheriff Kellner and just be-
fore the boat left the slip the officer
saw a man place the missing coat on
the baggage truck that stood near the
gate. A few minutes later a we'll
dressed man walked up to the truck
and was in the act of taking the stolen
overcoat.
Kellner called to him to drop the coat,
and then, quick as a fash the man who

throw up his hands. Kellners hands
went up, and the two men approached
him.
One said: you stand right there; the
coat belongs to me, and if you move be-
fore the boat pulls out you die"
The two crooks were compelled to run
to catch the boat. and Deputy Kellner
was not far behind them. After the
boat left the slip the officer informed

characters of his two passengers, and
the deck hands We're pressed into ser
vice to assist in their capture.
1t was only after desperate struggle
that the irons were placed on the two
men, and when the boat touched the
pier on the San Francisco side Kellner

keiumne River.

STOCKTON, Nov. 10.-Joe McCarty,
the seventeen-year-o son of Matthew

this county, was drowned in the Mo-

buggy in which they were riding struck

THE LOWELL OBSERVATORY.
BEING REMOVED FROn ARIZONA
TO CITY OF rlEXICO.
The Object in Going Further South to
Secure Good Seeing During
the Winter Months.

FLAGSTAFF (Ariz.), Nov. 10.-The
Lowell Observatory, which was esta'b-
lished here in 1894 for the study of the
planets, especially Mars, is in process of
removal to the City of Mexico. The
object in going south is to secure good
seeing during the winter months, and
the experts who have studied the QueS-
ton say this can be obtained in the
Mexican plateau which lies within the
tropics, and has an elevation of about
5000 feet above sea level.
The observatory was in active opera
ton here during 1894 and 1895, and
many hundreds of fine drawings were
made OF Mars, the results showing that
our neigihooring planet is covered with
an extensive system of canals arranged
in an artificial manner as if the work Of
intelligent beings. These researches
Were made by Professors Lowell Pick
ering and Douglass, and have attained
Worldwide celebrity.
Professor Loweli's discoveries induced
him to order a new twenty -four-inch
telescope from Alvan Clark & Sons,
with a view to prosecuting these stud
les still further. The new telescope has
many new discoveries have been made.
Professors Lowell and Douglass have
continued their observations of Mars.
while Professor Lowell and Mr. Drew
have worked on Mercury and Venus. In
the clear air in the afternoon these
planets have shown conspicuous work
ings, and the astronomers have not only
made maps of their surfaces. but to
prove conclusively that the bodies ro-
tate once only in the course of a revo-
luton about the sun. One face of the
planet is therefore turned towards the
sun and heated to an immense tenn
perature, while the other is wrapped
in everlasting night.
The markings drawn by Lowell have
settled the question of the rotation of
Mercury and Venus, which had been
partially studied by Schiaparelh some
years ago. Mr.. Lowell finds that Mer-
curry has no appreciable atmosphere.
while Venus has an abundance of ii.
but for some reason she possesses only
a few clouds. Drawings of her mark
ing have been forwarded to the Royal
Astronomical Society in London.
DR.. r. J. J. See and Mr. Cogshall have
used the new telescope on the southern
double stars, and it is announced to-
day that since August 1st they have
discovered $50 new stellar systems. be-
sides measuring 100 stars recognized by
