1t will be seen from the foregoing that
there has been a steady decrease in the
mortality for the two months named, and
this Health officer LeHardy attributes to
the sanitary measures which have been
put in force, and the care which has been
given to the general health of the city.
No plan for getting at the full list of the
births in the city has yet been devised
but the record for these same two months
will prove interesting in this connection
1t is probable that there were several
which are not included in these statis-
tics. The figures are as follows:

LONG RECORD AS A THIEF.
Lizzie Walker Finally Gets a Peni-
Tertiary Sentence for Larceny.

Lizzie Walker Finally Gets a Peni-
tentIary Sentence for Larceny.
Lizzie Walker, negro woman with a
remarkable record as a thief, was SEN
fenced to spend five years in the peniten-
tiary by Judge Falligant yesterday, for
larceny from the house over the value of
$50, which is a penitentiary offense.
For the last five or six years this wo-
man has spent much of her time on the
chain-gang. because of her thieving pro
pensity. In July, 1892, she was given six
months for larceny from the house; in
August, 1884, she got ten days for disor-
derby conduct; in August, 1895, she was
given twelve months for larceny from the
house In this last case, the Governor par
doned here in April, 1885, after she had al
most served her entire sentence. In April,
1897, she was given three months for lar
ceny from the house, and in July, 1897
Judge Norwood gave her twelve months
for similar offense. This record was be-
fore Judge Falligant yesterday when she
was convicted of the larceny of $40 il
money and a pair of diamond earrings
from the dwelling house of Johanna Keen.
Judge Falligant called attention to her re-
five years this time, hoping that It would
teach her a good lesson.
Matte Burroughs was found guilty of
burglary, being indicted for breaking into
the dwelling house of Rina Hamburg, July
%. The jury recommended that she be
punished as for a mlsdemeanor, and she
was given sentence of $780, and costs or
twelve months on the chain-gang.
William Lloyd was convicted of stealing
a COW from William Griffin on Feb u and
was sentenced to spend four years in the
pcnitentiary.
John Reilly was tried on a charge of
assault with intent to murder Gus Nc
Fall with a knife. The jury was out in
this case about eight or ten hours. Reilly
was defended by Mr.. j. S. Harrison, this
being his first case before a. jury since
his admission to the bar. The jury finally
returned a verdict shortly before midnight,
finding the defendant guilty of stabbiug
another not in his own defense, recon-
mending that he be punished as for a mis-
demeanor and recommending him to the
extreme mercy of the court. Reilly is also
charged with burglary there being an in
dctment charging that he broke into Nc
Falls dwelling house.

ben Avery, libel for divorce on grounds of

MISCONDUCT WAS PROVED.
Two Washington Volunteers May DC
Punished AS n Result Oh the
Court Martial.

Special Dispatch to the Post-lnteliisencet.
SAN FRANCISCO, June THE work
of the general court-martial called to try
Private Stevens. OF Company q, First
washington volunteers, and Private Mat
th!son. OF Company +, same regiment, was
concluded today, and the findings nave
been delivered TO Gen. Merritt. While
the sentences have not been made public,
it is stated that both men were found
guilty of misconduct. 1t is reported also
that they will be sentenced to pay fine
of SIC each and serve thirty days in the
guardhouse
The misconduct Of the northern soldiers
consisted in being absent without leave
and other petty breaches of military dis
ciplne. 1t is worthy OF mention that
this Is the first general court-martial or
volunteers held In this country for more
than thirty years
The Washington men, who are still
quartered in the Fontana warehouse, are
in splendid condition. They have prac-
tically all the equipment. and are ready
fer service at a moments notice. The
men are fairly well contented. but some
of them fear from the fact that they are
kept at the warehouse, instead of being
permitted to camp with the other volun-
teers corps, that they will be held for
duty on the coast, while the soldiers from
other states are sent to Manila.
1t is impossible to aearn what are the
intentions OF the authorities. but II seems
hardly possible that the Washington
troops, who compose one OF the best regi-
ments here. will be kept for a home guard
The general public has showered good
things OH the northern soldiers tia the
officers were compelled 10 issue orders
that no more dainties shall be accepted
Among the refreshments refused was an
immense quantity OF bottled beer. The
people have also given very freely Of
reading matter-rnore than the men could
use in two years. even IL they did moth
ing but read.
Yesterday large number Of the Wash
fngton troops were guests at the Y. NJ
