ly clever foil to Barton, for she sings
coon song very well, and by a very
simple Transformation looks to the life
the tough girl. The latter seems a more
congenial companion to the act than
the high-toned lady, who apparently
has become an inseparable tradition in
this particular line OF business. The
burlesque cake-walk which concludes
this teams act provoked roars Of laugh
ter. with Barton's grotesQue gyrations
and Ashley's lmmovable lower lip.
Much clever work on the horizontal
bars has been seen at the Orpheum, but
never anything to equal that of Van
Auken, McPhee and Hill. They form as
supple, agile and graceful a trio as
could we'll be imagined. Several of
their feats are little short Of marvellous
and are executed without apparently the
least effort. Their act was watched with
intense interest and sent the large
audience home thoroughly we'll pleased
with the evenings enterta inment.

Mr.. Foshay also stated that even with
the increase of 1854 pupils there was a
smaller attendance than would have
been the case had 1t not been for the
circus and the Jewish holiday. The re-
port was received and ordered placed
on file.
Then came the only breeze Of the even
ing. Mr.. Webb moved that the board
proceed to fill the offices Of high school
engineer and superintendent's clerk.
Mr.. Davis requested that the motion
be broken in two, as the clerk in ques-
ton meant nothing more than stenog-
rapher, whereas the engineer of the high
school should be an experienced man, Of
skill and particular endowments for his
profession, or words to that effect.
Mr.. Webb withdrew his motion and
moved that they proceed to the election
Of the high school engineer. Mr.. Davis
thought that the applicants to that posi-
tion should be investigated, together
with their recommendations, as the high
est expert skill was necessary for that
potion, and moreover the question Of
politics should not be allowed to come
into the appoin ntment Mr.. Davis, there
fore, pleaded for time.
Mr.. Webb vehemently asseverated that
they had had time to burn-lots Of time
that the applications had been on tap in
the board rooms since August 2Sth, and
he remarked, with lofty scorn. that Mr..
Davis might have done worse than to
60 up there and make any investiga-
tions he wanted to in the matter, and
Mr.. Webb closed his argument by stat
ing, with pious expression OF injured in
nocence, that one need but to look at the
names of the endorsers on the applica-
tions, to be convinced that the charge Of
political preferment was immaterlal and
irrelevant, not to say irreverent.
A vote decided that Mr.. Webb's mo-
tion should prevail and the secretary
was ordered to read the names of appli-
cants and their endorses. Those who
had applied for the position were: c. B.
Story, W. A. Smith, ]. H. Patterson, S..
E. Belcher, J. w. Sprague and A. o..
Gale. The chair explained that w. A.
Smith desired his name withdrawn, and
gave the rea sons therefor, and the other
names were voted on by roll call, with
result that A. o. Gale was elected. Mr..
Webb moved that the election take eff
feet October 18th, or earlier If occasion
required, and 1t was so ordered.
Miss Grace Kingsley, the incumbent of
the office, was duly and formally re-
elected as clerk to the superintendent,
with salary of $40 month.
A supplementary report from the
teachers committee was read, as fol-
lows:

COACHMAN AND COOK
GEORGE DILLY ARRESTED FOR
CRIMINAL ASSAULT
The End Of a Westlake Park Amour
Dilly's Desperate Effort
to Escape

George Dilly was cast into the city
prison last night on charge Of criminal
assault. He was arrested at $3.50 o'clock
by Special Officer Wilson at Westlake
park. Miss A. C. Jansen, young wom-
an about "a years Of age, was the victim
Of the mans assault, but fortunately
Wilson came to her aid Dilly did not
relish his arrest by any means and
made desperate attempt to escape
when taken to the jail, but was caught
by Private Patrolman Strobe.
Miss Jansen and Dilly are both en-
ployed by w. S. Arnold OF $50 Sam Pedro
street, the former as cook and the lat
ter as coachman- The woman has been
working for Mr.. Arnold for only two
weeks. and while there met the coach
man. He seemed to be quite pleasant
person, and Miss Jansen began to enter
tain a Partially for him; so when he
asked her one evening to go to church
she readily consented This was the
only time they had been out together in
the evening until last night, when they
went to Westlake park, arriving about
8 o'clock. They sat down on bench on
the west side, and had not been there
long before Dilly became very familiar,
and suddenly seizing the woman threw
her on the ground, at the same time
placing his hand over her mouth Miss
Jansen struggled violently to free her
self but without success She managed,
however, to get his hand away from her
mouth and began screaming for aid.
pair short while before and was near Al
hand. He hurried to the place and there
saw Dilly holding the woman down on
the ground As soon as Ditly saw the
intruder he sprang up and showed fight,
but his martial front was speedily with
drawn when the pistol of the officer was
showed into his face. Dilly then surren-
dered himself, but begged the officer not
to put handouts on him. To this Wilson
consented, but he soon had cause to re-
gret his generosity. On the car going
down town Dilly tried his powers of
persuasion upon Wilson, but the officer
refused TO allow the man to escape.
Dilly even offered to give his captor $50
If he would turn him loose, but Wilson
continued obdurate.
The officer got his prisoner safely to
the door of the police station, but in
stead of walking quietly inside as he had
promised. Dilly bolted down First street
toward Broadway. Wilson took after
him, calling stop thief, stop thief!'
Dilly turned south on Broadway and
turned east and continued down Second
street. He seemed in a fair way to es-
cape from his pursuer. but fortunately
Patrolman Strobe grabbed Dilly around
the waist and held him until Wilson ar
rived and took him back to the city
Jail.
