BULLETS WENT WIDE.
A Sa1oon-Keeper Fired at Twice by
Thomas DoIan and Forum
ately Escapes.


Thomas DoIan, ''dope hend," got on
the warpath yesterday, and he is now in
the City Prison on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.
Early yesterday morning he went into
the saloon at III Howard street and got a
revolver which he had left there. He and
the barkeeper had some words and Dolan
smashed a window and several other
articles.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon he
went into Whites saloon on Hunt and
Third streets, accompanied by friend.
He ordered two drinks, but would only pay
for one. White demonstrated with him, and
he began TO hammer on the counter.
White told him to make less noise, and
with an oath he pulled a revolver out of
his pocket and fired two shots at White,
the bullets passing between White and a
customer, fortunately not striking either
of them.
Dolan ran out of the saloon. up Third
street and into Sherwood place, where he
was overtaken by Policeman Tyrrell and
placed under arrest. In his flight he
threw away the revolver. and it was picked
up by William Docherty.
When searched at the Southern police
station gold watch, silver watch, pawn
ticket for another watch and $50 were found
in his pockets. Detective Ryan is investi-
eating as to how Dolan became possessed
OF so many watches.

SHE WANTS HER HUSBAND.

Mrs. Max Levin Rendered Insane by
Her spouse's Desertion.
Mrs Max Levin of 434 Jessie street was
before Judge Sanderson yesterday for ex-
animation as to her sanity. She was ar
rested on complaint of Samuel and Dora
AdeIstein of 1017 Post street.
Mrs. Levin came to this City seven
months ago with her husband, who five
months ago deserted her. Her grief over
his absence IS probably the cause of her
trouble. Some time ago Mrs. Levin re-
ceived a letter from her brother who lives
in New York, informing her that he had
heard that her recreant husband was living
at 1017 Post street with another woman.
Since that time Mrs. Levin has made life
miserable for the Adelsteins. She has
watched the house constantly, hoping to
get glimpse of her husband, and recently
secured a search warrant and went through
the Adelstein domicile from cellar to at
tic. Although she failed to find the OBJ
ject of her search her vigilance has not
relaxed
Mrs. Levin seems rational on all subjects
except that of her husbands desertion,
and the court decided to hold the matter
in allegiance until the brother in New York
can be heard from. 1t is thought that
with proper care and attention her mind
can be saved.

their eggs in Canada. There are two reasons
why they cannot There are but half dozen
small markets in that country, with a total
population only one-fourth as large as New
York City. This is one reason. The other rea-
son is that Canada protects her farmers by a
tax of cents per dozen on American eggs SO
as to prevent American farmers from selling
there. The Mckinley tariff protected our
farmers, but the free-trade Wilson tariff does
markets open free 10 the Canadian farmers,
while the Canadians tax the American farm
ers. The Canadians protect themselves, but
the Wilson bill OF the free-trade party Will not
protect the American farmers egg basket.
Perhaps one of the most important
views of the question ever presented was
that of Joseph Nimmo Jr. in an article on
the tariff as it affects New York. Having
studied the question closely, he said:
After all that had been accomplished by q
changed and exceedingly refined agriculture
and by tariff protection, the struggle was
hard one for the great majority OF our farmers,
and 1t was growing harder and harder mainly
as a result of the cheap and discriminating
freight rates afforded by Canadian railroads
and their connections TO Canadian farmers
who, with the additional advantages of
cheaper labor, were enabled TO compete act
lively with our own farmers in the markets of
New York City, Brooklyn, Albany, Buffalo and
Rochester, and in the markets of almost all the
principal towns and cities of the State. West
ern State competition is inevitable, under the
absolute freedom of trade and industry which
constitutes the most striking feature OF our
National unity, and it is submitted to without
a murmur.
But, in considering Canadian competition,

iect TO writ of certiorarI.
Mr.. Fletcher's right to sue was then
gone into, after which subject was dis
posed of Mr. Baggett subsidized.
Mr. Brobeck then got the floor and be-
gan his argument by stating that he ap-
peared not as an attorney for the rail-
road, as Mr.. Baggett had intimated, but in
his official capacity as Assistant City and
County Attorney. He then argued against
the statements of Messrs. Baggett and
Samuels, but failed to produce any author
tiles or law sustaining his position. His
only new statement of interest was that
personally he believed that the street rail-
roads should be compelled to pay 10 per
cent of their gross earnings into the City
treasury instead OF 2 per cent.
Mr.. Baggett closed the days argument
by stating that the percentage bid is a
dishonest mans proposition anyhow,
that dishonest man could bid a certain
percentage and certain amount OF money,
say $40, 900, and so secure franchise Tor
which an honest man, who intended to
pay what he bid, could not afford to COM
pete. Having secured the privilege, the
dishonest man pays little or nothing.
Argument on the injunction proceeding
will begin on Tuesday next at 10 A. NJ.

The story OF the theft and ultimate re-

others of its kind left the company's
mines at Calmalli, Lower California, on
March 15, 1885, and was transported on
packmule to Santo Domingo, whence it
was shipped by the company's schooner
Anita to Ensenada. and there given in
charge of their agent, Manuel Riveroll, for
him to ship to San Diego by steamer.
Riveroll placed it IN his safe, and that
night the safe was opened by the COM
bination and the bar stolen. The same
night the safe of the Bank of Ensenada
was opened the same way, and consider
able gold and silver coin taken. Rlveroll
reported the loss of the bar to the authori-
ties the next day, and was himself ar
rested on suspicion, as was also his book
keeper, Allen Pratt, they being the only
ones who knew the combination. j. M.
Garrett. great friend of Pratt's. and who
was a sort of idler around the town, was
also arrested, together with the cashier of
the bank, Jackson.
Nothing could be learned from the sus-
poets, however, and no trace whatever of
the missing bar or the money taken from
the bark could be found. Jackson was
released from custody. and after four
months Rlveroll was given his freedom.
He had suffered greatly by the close con-
tnement, and to add to his misfortunes
his wife had died during his imprlson-
ment and he had lost all his agencies and
business and mortgaged all his property
to the mining com pany to make good the
loss of the $4,000 bar.
Sixteen months after the bar was stolen,
some time during last month, Pratt and
Garrett were tried for the theft of the bar
and released for want of evidence. Their
confinement told on them, for they had
been cast into prison that was far from
healthy and had been forced to mingle
with Indians, Mexicans and other crimi-
mails. Both were about broken down i'll

and bad him Swallowed from the day he
lett prison. About month ago Garrett
chartered junk called the Peking at San
Diego and left there, and RiverolPs de-
tectlves set out after him, sending word to
Ensenada to Riveroll to be on the lookout.
CARROTS boat steered for Ensenada and
landed about six miles north Oh that point.
There he was met by man named Hay
wards of Ensanada, who had a team and
two horses, and they started to drive by
circuitous route to Ensenada, followed at
distance by Riverolis detectives and
some Government officers whom the latter
had notified in the meantime. Garrett
and Haywards finally made stop and
unhitched the horses and mounted them,
leaving the wagon. The officers stayed
by the wagon, expecting the suspects to
return to it with their booty. They did
return, but empty handed.
The officers covered them with their
guns and then accused them of the theft
OF the gold bar, threatening to shoot them
If they did not confess and lead them to
its hiding place. Garrett and Hay wards
knew well the customs of the country and
knew that the officers meant business, and
Garrett broke down and confessed to the
theft and offered to lead the officers to the
place where the bar was hidden. He took
them back to the town of Ensenada to a
point on the shore 600 feet from a wharf
1900 feet from the Custom house and in
plain view of the barracks and the entire
town, and there the long missing bar was
found few feet below the surface, COW
cred with gunnysacks. None OF the coin
taken from the bank was there. and the
presumption is If Garrett also committed
that robbery he either hid it elsewhere or
had spent it, the amount not being very
large.
Garrett was taken before the Governor
and asked how he committed the robbery.
He said he had opened the safe by the
combination and would bet he could open
any safe in Ensenada the same way in ten
minutes or less. He was taken to the safe,
the com bination of which had been twice
changed since the robbery, ana opened it
in seven minutes and another one in the

UNPROTECTED FROM FIRE
The Chemical Engine Has Been
Removed From North
Beach.
Indignant Citizens Will Hold a Mass.
Meeting to Protest Against
This Action.

The residents of the Second Ward, that
part of the City commonly called North
Beach, which lies between Russian and
Telegraph hills, from Broadway north to
the bay, have serious grievance against
the Fire Department authorities. The
chemical engine that was located on Stock
ton street has been removed to the Broad.
way engine. house and the entire large dis.
trict mentioned is practically unprotected.
The propetty-owners of the Second Ward
do not propose to submit to this injustice,
and the case will soon be discussed at a
general mass or indignation meeting. 1t
is proposed to draw up resolutions con-
demning the Fire Department for remov-
ing the chemical engine from its sphere of
usefulness; also to appoint a committee
to present the resolutions to the Board of
Fire Commissioners and demand that the
engine in question be returned to its former
location.
One of the residents of the district who
owns considerable property there summed
up tie situation in this way:
I'VE who live here and own property in
this ward consider the removal of the
chemical engine from Stockton and Fill
bert streets as an outrage. The engine
was taken over to Broadway to protect
Chinatown, which everybody would like
to see wiped out by fire.
sin case of a fire in the middle OF this
district we would have to wait for a long
time for the arrival of the engines from
Broadway or the engine-house down on
Francisco street. The latter engine can
not climb hills to any advantage even
with its three big horses, and as it is To-
Gated at the foot of the hill half of the
ward would burn up before single stream
of water could be started.
''North Beach is the eldest part OF the City
and ali of its buildings while still good
are old time wooden structures that burn
like matches. Let a fire start at the foot
of either OF the hills during the high
worth of property would be destroyed, to
say nothing of the hundreds of people
who would be made homeless.
1.-The chemical engine on several occa-
sions prevented large fires on the hills
because it was light and could run with
ease to places where the big steamers
could not get without great difficulty and
delay.
ITO add to the offense to the people here
District Engineer Shaughnessey has
moved his family into the upper story OF
the old chemical engine-house.
"What right has he to use the City's
property in order to save house rent.
which so many of the taxpayers have 10
pay2 Speaking of taxes, we pay as large
taxes as people in the other parts of the
City and are entitled to as much protec-
ton from fire as any one.
"This mass meeting, or Indignation
meeting, movement is being inaugurated
by all the large property-owners of the
district. We want the chemical engine
back and If we don't get it we will know
why"
