James r. Parish, who resides at 269
Twelfth street, is congratulating himself
to-day that he is alive. He went to the
prison, and saw the young men who were
arrested early this morning, and when he
saw the amount of loaded guns that were
taken from them he was certain that but
for the warning of confederate one of
those bullets would have been in his anat-
omy.

when 1 was expecting that should haYe

around the corner and Immediately the two
footpads fled in different directions. Then
a policeman came in sight and gave chase
but it was too late"
Both of the would-be burglars were
questioned to-day by the detectives, and
young Turner admitted that they had
gone out to try their apparatus upon q
safe, but had not located it when officer
Ely espied them and took them into Gus

tain { re the true names of the young men
and they both belong to respectable fami-
lies in San Francisco. They say they
came down from Tacoma few weeks ago
and had their safe-cracking outfit made at
the Murasky carriage works, on Mission
street, San Francisco. The apparatus tn ey
had for wrenching off safe com binations
is one of the latest additions to the cracks

1t was wrapped in billhead, on which
a plan of it had been drawn. 1t had never
been used, and it is evident that the men
had just started out on their safe-cracking
career. No drills were found on them.
and if they are associated with the recent
attempts at safe-robbery, the third man,
who escaped, must have carried them.
The two men under arrest can only be

CRUSHED BY HIS VAC HT,
Captain Moody of the Bonita Is
Fatally Injured at Long
Wharf.
DoINGs OF a POLICEMAN.
An Official Investigation Reveals a
Strong Desire to Borrow Money
and Drink Whisky.

90S Broadway, Jan. 25.
W. G. Moody, son OF the well-known
banker, received injuries at Long wharf
early this morning that will probably
prove fatal. The in iured man was crushed
between the mast of his yacht and the
pier, though how it happened nobody can
tell, as the little colored boy who sails on
the yacht with Moody did not come up on
deck until the accident had occurred. w.
G. Moody was the owner of the yacht,
which is named the Bonita, and was one of
the most expert sailors on the bay. For
six years he has practically made the
Bonita his home, and the life suited his
tastes admirably.
The yacht had been lying off the Marin
County shore, near San Quentin, and early
this morning Mr.. Moody and the colored
boy, who made up the crew, put off for
Oakland harbor. The wind died away, but
the storm OF last night left a heavy sea and
so the anchor was dropped. Then the
crew went below.
About o'clock Moody went on deck
and saw that the yacht had dragged her
anchor and was humping against Long
wharf. a few minutes later, when the
boy went on deck he saw Moody clinging
to the mast in daZed condition. He was
bleeding about the head and could not
hear or speak. The boy called some sail
ors to his assistance, and Moody was taken
off the yacht and to the Receiving Hos
pital. Here he wrote his name and adj
dress on piece of paper. and few min
utes later his aged father was with him.
The injured man had no boots on when
he was found and had blanket wrapped
around him. 1t is supposed that he went
on deck to attempt to stop the humping
and that his head was caught between the
swaying mast and the timbers of the
wharf
This evening Moody was semi-conscious,
but could not hear anything and could
not speak OF his accident. The physicians
fear that the severe fracture at the base of
the skull will prove fatal as it is accom-
panied with hemorFhages

late been sewer-pipe, and was for time

MiIkmen Worried.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 25.-There is
CONSERVATION in the ranks of the milkmen
consequent upon the raid of the inspector,
the investigation of committee of the
Health Board and the publication Of some
names given by the inspector as of those
who had in their cans for delivery diluted
milk when he swooped down upon them.
There is such competition in the business
in Alameda, and the public is so fastidious
in such matters, that it is about as much
as their business is worth to have such
publicity given. This is the first time such
facts were made public, though it is not
the first time that Irregularities were
found or that dealers had warning of the
vigilance.
Marriage Announced.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Jan. 25.-Invitations
have been issued for the wedding of Miss
Marie Foard, daughter of Lorentz Foard,
the San Francisco ship-chandler, and
Charles Edward Balm of Astoria, which is

WAYS OF A POLITICIAN.
Another Ohicia1 Investigation Before
the Commissioners.

Another Oficia1 Investigation Before
the Commissioners.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 25.-The inquiry
into the conduct of Officer Lamping was
commenced this morning before the Com
missioners. Lamping had decided pen
chant for borrowing, but was very careless
about paying back. In several instances
Lamping told his creditors that be needed
the money to help out his friend, Louis
Schaffer, the ex-Chief of Police. Nearly
every storekeeper on his beat is creditor
OF Lamping. The officer also had a great
liking for whisky, and several bills for this
article were handed in to-day. When he
cane on the force he owed $500, now he
thinks $500 will square his debts.
The inquiry was interesting, as nearly
all the witnesses who were opposed to
Lamping were favorable to McCloud who
was tried two weeks ago, and those who
are understood to be friendly to Louis
Schaffer, ex-Chief OF Police are testifying
against Lamping. There is lot of evil
dence against the officer, and the case was
continued to next Wednesday.

Fred Adams, suit.

OAKLAND. CAL, Jan. 25.-The suit of
Fred Stuart Adams against the young
woman whom he married secretly at Mar
tinez was commenced this morning.
Adams asks, through his guardian, for the
annulment of his marriage on the ground
that he was under legal age at the time.
The defense asked to dismiss the suit as
the plaintiff was over l8. the age of con-
sent, and is not entitled to sue by his
guardian. The matter was argued at
length by Attorney Haynemann. who con-
tended that there is no law, and has not
been for 100 years, by which married
person in sound mind is entitled to have a
guardian appointed. The argument occu-
pied nearly all the forenoon. The de-
PENDANTS counsel also argued on motion
to strike out certain portions of the COM
plant, and also on a demurrer. Mrs.
Adams was not present, as she is in the
East, but her husband was in court with
his elder brother. At the close of the ar
guments the case was continued for three
weeks.
