THIRD STREET WILL

Merchants and Property

Epidemic.
Arc Lamps to Be Strung Over
the Thoroughfare From Mar

Almost Enough Signatures Secured
Already-The List Will Probably
Be Filled Out DAY.

Third street is to be the next to follow
in the line of light. Business men and
property owners from Townsend street to
Market are working to the desired end.
and it is expected that in few days a
sufficient number of subscriptions will
have been secured. Indeed, there have
been secured already almost enough to
string the lamps from Mission street to
Townsend. The link to be supplied is
the short one from Mission street to Mar
ket and these will probably add their sig
natures to-day.
The passion for "more light" is epi-
demlc and irresistible. With the lighting
of Kearnv street came the natural desire
of business men on Third street to see
the string of daz zlers stretch ION and on"
past their places of business The con-
summation is about to be reached.
Following is the list of property-owners
who have already signed for Third street:

A Married Sister Left Him the For.
tune-HaS Had a Checkered
Career.

William Arthur Harrop, an Englishman
who has had a checkered experience in
different parts of the world, and who has,
when employed at all, been for long time
doing odd jobs of gardening in and about
this City, was up in Judge Joachimsen's s
court esterday on a charge of disturbing
the peace.
1t developed during the examination of
his case that he had lately had an expert
ence more remarkable than anything else
that had befallen him. 1t was that he had
through the death of a married sister in
Liverpool just fallen heir to the neat for
tune OF $4,000.
Cormac & Donohoe, the attorneys, had
after considerable investigation and
trouble finally succeed ed in locating him,
and spprised him of the windfall that had
come to him. He was enabled to draw in
advance for money needed to fit him ont
for the more genteel associates he might
hereafter have, and to get him home 10
claim his estate.
Harrop appeared in court attired in a
new garb, quite different from his old
days, though he had not shaken himself
clear OF difficulty. Attorney ColweU had
his case IN hand, too, having been en-
/ ployed by Harrop.
Colwell set forth the story of the fortune
/ that had fallen to his client, and ex ibited
ticket bouget by him 10 Liverpool. He
said Harrop would, if allowed. set out
/ Monday.
/ On this showing Judge Joachimsen dis
missed the case, the unde rstanding being
/ that Harrop would waste no time in
| claiming the bequest. Harrop is said to
have been under arrest previously many
/ times. Once he was sent to the House o.
! Correction.

FOUR LITTLE
BOLD ROBBERS
Three Were Arrested for
Holding Up a Young
Boy.
They Beat R. Mann Severely and
Relieve Him of His
Watch.
Highwayman's Methods Adopted b.
the Youth of North Beach on
Friday Night.

Three very small boys were locked up
yesterday on charges of robbery. They
are Eddie Snyder, Is years, living at 226
Francisco street; Botha Olivia, 16, living
al 2l17 Mason, and Joseph Rex of $50
Chestnut street. Their victim is Ralph
Mann, about 16 years of age, who lives at
1888 Washington street. Rex and Olivia
are employed at the California Wire
Works and Snyder works with his father,
who is a boatbuilder at North Beach.
There is still another lad, boy called
skinny" who is said to be implicated in
the affair, but the police have not been
able to catch him yet
The story of the crime, as told by the
victim, is to a great extent corrobora ted
by pair OF black eyes of the most dis
tressing color. Mann IN telling of his ex.
perience said that during the evening he
was out with young lady, and at about
$3.50 o'clock he started to take her home
at North Beach. The couple reached the
foot of Mason street, near the beach, about
10 O'Clock, and were just turning the cor
ner when four young lads sprang from the
shadow Of house, and in true highway
man style proceeded to stand up young
Mann. He resisted and struck out to
project MINIS Dut this only melted the
robbers to greater violence.
They began to beat him in the face
with their fists and threw him to the
ground. The young lady screamed with
fright, whIcl alarmed her escorts assail-
ants, who, after robbing Mann of his silver
watch, fed down the street and disap-
peared. Sudden and vicious as the
assault in the darkness was, Mann recog-
nized the youthful 70 bbers and he reported
the matter this nOlicP
Officers Hill and Hall found all three of
the boys yesterday at work and arrested
them. Skinny could not he found, but
the police recovered Mann's silver watch
from woman at whose house Skinny
used to stop. She did not know where
the youngster, who is older than the boys
under arrest, is now living. He is said to
be an orphan aud frequently stops where
night overtakes him.
The lads under arrest have 4 different
story to tell, and they throw all the blame
upon the luckless Skinny. They claimed
that they had been working overtime and
were on their way home when they met
Skinny. who said that he was "going to
lick feIier." They followed him 10 see
the fun, and saw him strike Mann several
blows. skinny cried that Mann had a
knife out, and they closed in to see fair
play. They found that Mann did not
have knife. and so let go of him, and as
they did so Skinny ran away, and a little
later he told them that he had got away
with the watch. Yesterday when he saw
them on Montgomery avenue he told
them that he had buried the watch. and
that he would not get them into any
trouble.

Myriads of minia ure electric lights were
displayed in the conservatory, the sum

pleasing effects on account OF the many
