SANTA cLARA'S PETITION.
VIII Ask for an APPROXIMATION for the
Repair of the MONT HumH-

SAN JOSE. CAL. Jan. 31.-The Legfsla-
ture will be asked 10 make an appropria-
tion for the rerair of the Mount Hamilton
read, which was constructed 10 the Lick
Observatory by Santa Clara County at
cos. of 100000. Steps to this end have
been taken by the Supervisors and the
matter is in the hands of the legislative
delegation from this county. The road
was constructed In 1876 and since that
time little repairing has been done 10 it..
1t Is twenty-eight miles long and runs
tn rough a rough, mountainous country.
The road is a very expensive one to keep
in repair, and as the law requires that
money raised for road purposes shall be
expended in the district where it is col
lected, it is impossible to keep the road in
hrst-class condition with the small amount
The amount of money that can be ex-
yearly The culverts are rotting, bridges
need repairing and the road graveling,
and unless the State renders assistance
the finest mountain road n the United
States will be destroyed, and it will cost
many times the amount now necessary 10
repair ii.
The county derives but little benefit from
the road, and 1t Is thought the State should
help keep it in good condition, as most of
the travel over it is by tourists and visitors
to the observatory. 1t is understood the
Regents of the State University, who have
control of the observatory, will indorse
the application for an appropriation.

CAUGHT AFTER MARY YEARS.
Arrest of Thomas H. Stout, Once a
Trusted 6ookkeeper, Who Committed
nnrinn EnrnprIeS
D0rinq ForqerIeS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 31.-Thomas
II, Stout, alias Appleton, alias Robert
Graham, who is under arrest in Cincin-
natl and is believed to be forger wanted
by the police of this city, was for some
years the confidential bookkeeper OF the
Wall-street firm of Jones, Kennett & Hop
kins. He was always considered steady
man until his sudden disappearance on
Septemb Der l, 1891. Upon the examin alton
OF his books. it was found that Stout had
forged the firms name to checks on the
Holland Trust Com pany of 80 Cedar street
TO the sum OF SIC 900. Nothing was heard
of him for some time. until finally it was
learned that he was in London, where he
was doing business with a firm of Ameri-
can brokers IN that place with the firm
name of John Shaw. In London he was
known as Appleton, and was said to have
considerable money, buying and selling
American stocks.
Detectives were sent to London, but he
had disappeared. He was traced from
London to Antwerp and from there to
Paris, where he adopted the name OF
Graham and then suddenly disappeared.
Several years went by and nothing was
heard from him. Finally the Holland
Trust Company asked the police of this
city short time ago TO again take up the
case and more circulars were sent abroad
and to the police in every city in the
United States. The trust company also
offered reward of $3.50 for his arrest, but
nothing was heard from him until Friday
last, wnen Captain O'Brien received a
telegram from Cincinnati announcing his
arrest there. The trust company, who
were the sufferers of Stout's forgeries, were
notified OF the Information from Cincin-
natl and persons were sent to Cincinnati
to see if they could Identify him.
They identified him as Stout. and sent
word that the prisoner would come to this
city without the necessary requisition pa
pers. Detective Daily of Captain o Brien's
staff left here to-day to bring him to this
city.
1t is also said by the police that they
think Stout has forged checks on the Sea-
board National Bank to the extent OF
nearly $4,000, and that they will also prose-
cute him. A reporter called at 201 West
One Hundred and Tenth street, where
Mrs. Stout resides. and in reply to several
questions she admitted that the man under
arrest was her husband, but further than
this would have nothing to say about the
matter. She, however, added that she
thought it was all mistake.

BOLT TRUST COLLAPSED.
Prices Fan Tacenty Per Cent Wtthin th
LGat Three DHvs.


CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 31.--A morning
paper says: The bolt trust has collapsed,
and prices have fallen 20 per cent within
the last three days. The market is still
demoralized with values uncertain and ir-
regular, and there are pros poets of still
Aiurther declines next week. The bolt
>ftust included IN its control the manufac-
turers Of machiue and carriage bolts and
the nuts and lag screws. 1t was formed
shortly after the nail trust, and j II.
Parks of Boston, as "commissid3e 3er, {"
drew a subsidy OF 5 cents keg on the en-
tire output OF the manufacturers as long
as prices were maintained. Though the
com bination advanced prices 80 per cent

OF its sister organization, and tor that rea-
Son has lived longer.
The shovel trust. which was formed
about the time of the bolt agreement is
still working satisfactorily. Prices are so
70 100 per cent higher than before the
agreement was formed, but It is generally
conceded that the shovel and spade men
were losing money at the prices which
previously prevailed. The largest factory
In A merica, which burned down lust be-
fore the trust formed Uhe plant of a Pitts
burg manufacturer, has been rebuilt. but
has not been put into working order. In

dnd Married ia Court

BENTON HARBOR, MICH, Jan 81
A romantic wedding was solemnized yes
terday in the Circuit courtroom IN this
city, when DeIbert Mittan and Miss Ed
wards were made one. Mittan had been
on trial charged with the robbing of the

$1,000. The charge implicated his sweet
heart, Miss Edwards, as principal witness.
The trial interfered with their wedding
that was to have been private. The jury
returned verdict yesterday declaring
Mittan innocent of the charges. Immedi-
atelv afterward Mittan and Miss Edwards
stepped before the Judge and were mar
ried publicly.
They received bouquets, presents and
the congratulations of 1000 spectators. The
police were unable to suppress the din of
the impromptu ovation. The residents of
Niles rendered the couple reception and

DEL MONTE IMPROVEMENTS.
Numerous Changes Intended to Enhance
the Popularity of the Famed
HosfeIry


DEL MONTE, CAL, Jan. 31.-To those
who know California's world famed re-
sort, beautiful Del Monte, in its many at
tractive phases, it would seem that to set
about improving it would be a needless
undertaking. But with all Its pleasant
ness Del Monte is not quite up to date,
and the MANAGEMENT pro poses to make it
so that no one can find fault. An addi-
tion will be built at the rear of the central
portion OF the hotel, but running parallel
on its longest side with the present large
dlnlng-room. This addition will be di-
vlded into two supper or breakfast rooms,
which will be separated by wide folding
doors, so that in the dull season of the
early winter months, when guests are
comparatively y few, it can be thrown into
one moderately sized dining-room and
thus make 1t possible to close the main
dinlpg-room, which now must be used
whether the guests be few or many.
The present reading-room will be con-
verted into cafe. in which light refresh
ments will be served at all hours, and from
this room series of swinging glass doors
Will open on 10 the veranda. The yerapda
will be inciosed in glass and heated, ana
growing flowers and palms will make it a
charming place at all seasons of the year.
This arrangement will enable the guests
10 have afternoon tea or cup of choco-
late after the morning dip in the surf,
without being obliged 10 retire to their
rooms to be served.
To make up for the loss of the reading
room the bed cham bers on the south cor
ridor will be demolished and in their
place two reading and writing rooms-one
for ladies and one for gentlemen-will be
substituted and fitted up attractivly. In
the basement OF the addition a cyclery
will be built.
When the new dining-rooms are fin
ished the hotel will be Immediately put
upon the European plan entirely, and the
management feels assured that the change
will give satisfaction
