The TRIAL OF WIN. ARLINGTON,
charged with breaking into and rob-
bling Mr.. r. w. French's store on the
night of the 18th of last November,
came up in the Corporation Court to-
day. The evidence in the main was
as given in the Police Court, which
was to the effect that Arlington
and John Henderson attempted to sell
one Of the stolen pens to Mrs. Richard
Burnett and that Arlington and Hen
derson visited the city Jail where Har-
ry Gambler was confined and gave
him one of the pens and two packages
containing most of the articles stolen
from Mr. French. Gambler, it will be
remembered, claimed that he did not
open the packages and was ignorant of
their contents, that when he was let
out by Sheriff Palmer he deposited the
packages in an unoccupied house be-
longing to him in the county, and that
when requested to do so he produced
the goods. John McCuen. guard at
the Jail, was put upon the stand. He
was positive in mis- assertion that he
locked Gambler in the jail on the
night of the robbery and that he
was there when he unlocked the build.
ing next morning He also told of
Sheriff Palmer going to the Jail on the
morning of the 18th and liberating
Gambler in order that he could attend a
minstrel show Mt Dan Henry's theatre.
On the 18th witness saw Arlington and
Gambler talking in the Jail yard. Ar
rington and Henderson had come there
presumably to see Frank Hayes. Cand
Ter was let out Of Jail again on the 9th
and 2Sth aud he left and returned with
Sheriff Palmer. Gambler was put on
the stand and he told of being let out
of Jail, and gave minute account of
himself during the time he was allow
ed his liberty City Sergeant Smith
testified ia effect that he allowed Cand-
Ter certain privileges for services per-
formed about the Jail. He had been
very useful and at one time saved q
guards life. AT AS o'clock the case
was still in progress.

A Misleading Sign.

Whenever the elder Sothern arrived
at a town, one of his first means of
diversion was to stroll about the streets
and have fun with the natives
He was in Chicago during its early
days, and one day he saw sign over an
undertaker's establishment which read,
Everything furnished for first class
funerals.
Going inside, he inquired:
"Do you furnish everything for fu-
nerals9''
"Yes, sir, replied the clerk.
"Then want a casket.
He described the kind. and the order
was recorded.
"Do you want carriages?"
"Yes; have five carriages ready"
"Yes. sir Anything else9"

now. Ii trembled so that he could hard
ly speak. His left hand had slipped
from the oar. The rowlock ratified
heavily, but the hand lay helpless.
Little girl. where is your father?"
he gasped again.
Her two little brown hands clasped
together clumsily, hardly able to hold
together from the cold and wet. but
holding them. SO she raised her pitiful
face to heaven. Her chin Quivered and
her lips trembled. but she could not
speak.
The old man understood. With his
one remaining hand he lifted his hat
and laid it reverently down as he said
in whisper so soft and low that may
be only He heard it:
"Then we must look there for help. I"
And long time he looked steadily
upward, and the trembling lips and the
quivering little chin were lifted also
The two row locks ratified and rasped
and rasped and ratified. The boat was
her own master now. She had turned
about. Her bow was to the Golden
Gate. The tide had turned.
1t is strange that some one ON some
one Of the many ships had not seen this
party and its peril, strange that some
watcher from some one Of the light
houses had not seen this lone craft in
its peril, bat it is fact that this boat
passed out of the Golden Gate, spent
much of the night in the open ocean
and was finally borne back with all its
precious cargo saved and with no other
help than the help of him to whom all
will cry out for help at least once this
side the river Of rest.
