SAFE CRACKERS OUTFIT.
1t Was Unearthed Yesterday by a
Couple of Boys.

Sheriff Johnson has in his custody a
safe cracking and burglar outfit, and
would like the owners to call and prove
their property. This, however, they are
not likely to do.
The stuff doubtless belonged to crooks
who are either serving terms in the
County Jail for minor offenseS or have
been driven out of the city as vagrants.
Or. it is barely possible they are still
here awaiting opportunity to crack an
other safe or burglarize houses and
stores.
The outfit was found yesterday by
two boys, named Lloyd and Barnett,
under a sidewalk at Sixth and H
streets. 1t consists of three saw blades,
one wood bit, two screw taps, two
wedges. fifteen steel drills of various
sizes, two iron punches, one lock pick,
roll of fuse, putty, cotton, five sticks
giant powder (Hercules No. u, one box
giant powder caps, one bottle nitro
glycerine, one bottle machine oil.
Some weeks ago the safe in the rear
OF B. Wilson & Co S store at Sixth and
] streets was robbed, and the officers

that occasion. One of the drills shows
evidence of having been driven through
the materials of which safes are made.
The tools We're wrapped in two news
papers-one an Arizona paper of the
date of August Dist, and the other a
San Francisco paper of the 26th, which
night indicate that the burglars came
from Arizona between those dates. Will
son & Co.'S store was not robbed until
The night of November 1st. Besides the
newspaper wrappings the outfit was
irclosed in an old leather valise, and its

erty Back.
The case of Mary Sheehan against
John Sheehan was on hearing before
Judge Johnson yesterday.
Sheehan was farm hand who work
ed for the plaintiff and persistently
wooed her until she finally consented
to marry him, to her sorrow.
The complaint states that the plaintiff
was the widow of William Herlihy, de-
ceased, and that after his death his
estate was distributed to her by the
court.
On May 81, 1896, she married the
defendant and he Immediately began a
systematic course of cruelty and in
timidation toward her, and insisted
that she convey to him the lands be-
longing to her, and in August he threat
! ened to kill her if she did not convey
the property to him, and she being over
20 years old and in fear of her life was
compelled to do so.
She therefore asked that the deed be
nullified and set aside, and that she be
decreed to be the owner of the prop
erty.
A number of witnesses We're called,
the plaintiff telling her story and the
witnesses for the defense testifying TO
the demeanor and statements made by
her at the time of acknowledging the
deed. in order to show that she did not
appear to be under the influence of
fear or duress at the time she did so,
and that she used terms of endearment
| to the defendant at the time of ac-
knowledging it.
The property in question is situated
near Acampo, in San Joaquin County.
but the defendant lives in this county.
The testimony was not concluded when

Priceless Vision.

The eye is one of the organs most Ii
able to render life miserable failure
and a loathsome burden. Loss of sight
is the very king of terrors, while any

sickening mental worry, to say never

PROPOSED LABOR EXCHANGE.
An Organization That is Said to be
Working Well.
The State Organizer Trying to Estab-
lish a Branch in This
City.

There is a movement under way for
the eStablihment in this cFty ol
branch of what is known as the LABOR
Exchange Association, which organlza-
ton it is claimed has accomplished
much for the unemployed in otheT
parts of the Union and even this state.
]. B. Rigdon, State Organizer, is here
for the purpose of working up interest
in that direction, and has called pun
lie meeting for 2 o'clock on SUNDAY
afternoon in the hall of the Federated
Trades Council on Ninth street, when
the aims and purposes of the assocla-
ton and all details of its workings Will
be fully explained. Briefly stated, the
association aims:
''First-To provide employment Ior
idle labor, by facilitating the inter
change of commodities and services
among the associates and the pubEc.
"Second-To alleviate the sufferlngs
incident to. and avert the social dan
gers which may arise from constantly
increasing class of unemployed, by
furnishing to this class useful occupa-
ton, and saving the wealth thus pro-
duced for the use and benent OF the
actual producers and their dependents.
Third To tighten the burden OIL
charitable institutions, by establishing
one self-sustaining.
by and through such employment OF
idle labor as aforesaid, this association
aims to furnish food, clothing and the
comforts of home to those thus un-
employed: establish depots for mutual
exchange; operate boarding-houses for
the same purpose; and also provide
for education, the elevation of charac-
ter and the amenities of life, by main
tanning schools and other places of in
Struction.'
Fiftv-nine business and professional
men of Stockton have signed the roll Of
the branch there, while at San Jose
the membership has reached 200. In
San Francisco the exchange has also
reached substantial proportions. The
association is represented by branches
in forty different States. The associa-
ton was chartered in 1880 at 1nde-
pendence, Mo.
The plan of the association contem-
plates the issue of labor certificates,
which will be received by merchants
signing the roll in return for goods, and
these checks will then be received by
the association in return for articles
which it manufactures, and produce
which is left with it by its members to
be sold.
