NEGLECT OF THE STREETS.

It mas been the steady reply Of those
responsible for the shameful condition

That is to say, some one must do
for that official precisely what the Su-
perintendent Of Streets is salaried TO
do. Why, IN the name Of reason, has
he not corrected these abuses? His
attention has been called to them al
most daily for a year, but not one has
he abated.
Even as late as / o'clock Sunday
morning on q chief residence street, not
far from the unlawfully macadamized
street front OF the Superintendent, a

When the young man Hawkins, a
nurse at the public hospital in San
Francisco, volunteered to care for and
nurse the unhappy man taken with
typhus fever some weeks ago, we said
1t was noble. a heroic act. He went
with the sick man, accompanied by
physician equally heroic, to the pest
house, and the two cared for the victim
until he died. Now comes the news
that Hawkins is himself stricken and
must die. The deadly pest has seized
upon him for his devotion at its altar.
Whether the courageous young physi-
clan will be victim also remains to be
seen. To Hawkins, living or dying.

This crown was preceded in point OF time
by a diadem or clrclet OF gold, cholcely be-
jeweled. which was made for tho queen IN
1853. The stones used on this occasion

BURGLARS FATAL BULLET.
Jim Baxter Dies From the Wound in.
flicted by Thrasher EastOn.

Jacksonville, Fla, June 2O.-Another
murder has been added to the long list
of crime in Duval county. Jim Baxter,
who was shot by Thrasher Easton. a
burglar, safe-blower and VIGOROUSLY bad
character, on the night of April 49, In
Buffers Bride street saloon, died in the
county hospital to-day of the wound.
Standing by Thrasher Easton at the
time of the row was w. l.. Easton who
since has been turned over to the United
States authorities for the robbery of a
number of small postofices In this state
and Georgia.
Deputy Sheriff Vinzant is of the opinion
that two more desperate ne
grOes than these have not
been captured in years. At the
time of their arrest, there was a requisi-
ton here for both for blowing a safe in
Blackshear Ga. They used nitro-glycer-
inc and seemed to be more expert at
burglary than the average of negroes who
pursue that vocation. During the last year
or two the papers have been full of ac-
counts of safe blowlngs and burglaries
at small towns in this state and Georgia.
1t is now believed that these two Eas-
tons were the real culprits in the affair
at Dunnelon, where a merchant was shot
his store robbed, and two negroes lynched
for the crime.
The next heard of them, they held I'D
three men In a store while one Of them
ransacked the safe.
In another robbery in Georgia they are
said to have killed a negro watchman or
porter.
