One of the Burglars, an Ex-Convict Neatly Captured Inside House
 He Was LOoting.

Burglars took advantage of the unpro tected condition of the city yesterday dur ing the parade to ply their vocation, and several reports were received at police headquarters from people whose houses had been entered.
 One house visited was that of Louis Koenig, corner of Scott street and Golden Gate avenue. Koenig and his family were down town to see the parade. About o'clock a neighbor saw two men acting suspiciously at Koenig'S house and he re-
 solved to watch them. He saw one Of
 them force open window on the scott
 street side of the building and crawl through. while the other remained outside on guard.
 The neighbor telephoned to the North End police station and Policeman Water man, who was on office duty, drove to the house in the patrol wagon. He found the burglar in the house and placed him un- der arrest. The burglars companion saw the patrol wagon coming and made his
 escape. The burglar was taken to the City Prison, where he gave the name of James Moran, but he was recognized by Detective Bainbridge as James Moore, an eX-convict, who was released from San Quentin last September after serving a sentence of seven years for burglary. Be- fore being arrested he had secured a gold pin ring and a gold watch and chain. He complained that he did not have time to do any work, as he had just got fairly started when Waterman made his appear ance The police have good description of his companion, who is also believed to be an ex-convict, and his arrest may oc- cur at moment.

Randall Hunt a prominent civil en- gineer on this coast. died early yesterday morning at his residence, 200S Pierce street, after several weeks of illness. in which he was attended by prs. Kerr and MacMonagle He had won the deserved reputation of an expert and scientific en- gineer.
 Graduating at Yale in 1876 with de- grees in engineering and philosophy, his first work was on the New York public parks. Going to Dakota in 1878, he did much work in surveying and bridge build ing that brought him into notice.
 He came to San Francisco in 1888. Here he soon attracted attention by advocat- ing the cofferdam system of laying cons crete foundations at the foot of Market street in preference to the caisson sys- tenn, and finally converted the HarDor Commissioners to his way of thinking He was much interested in and contribu> ted to the professional literature of foun~ dations for high buildings. Subsequently he did some very important and thorougn work in dam building for the TurlOck and Modesto irrigation districts, and about years ago was the expert employed to in Vestigate and estimate for the committee appointed by Congress to decide between the conflicting claims to harbor improve ment at San Pedro and Santa Monica.

Dr. Law diu rot understand the nature Of the document, for he declined to re- ceive It, and it Is stated that he showed no desire to leave the door open and have an extended conversation with the constable. It does not appear that the rector was ever asked to pay that bill. for it was only a paltry SIS 50. and the rector's financial rating is tiptop.
 However, after ignoring the sum- mons, the wheels of justice were not clogged in Justice Lawrence's court room, and when the case was called it went by default and Judgment was entered, with the addition of S5 the costs of the court and constable
 AS Dr. Law declined to acknowIedee the judgment, the constable looked around and discovered that the best way to satisfy the courts order would be by an attachment on the rector's salary.

There was some kicking at the railroad com pany, but it hardly seemed just, for even the Southern Pacific can scarcely be expected to be able to empty a town of nearly a hundred thousand people at an hours notice. Every car in the yards was put on. and everybody got to San Francisco somehow.

The conduc- tors did all that was possible to keep the venturesome youths from Court ing death but their efforts were vain, and fortunately none were pushed off to spoil the holiday of the Morgue men. A crowd of few thousand, which was gathered at the Fourteenth-street de- pot ready for the 10:15 narrow gauge train, were horror stricken to find that when the train arrived it was loaded to the last seat. and the locomotive could hardly pull it up the steep Web ster-street grade.

RECTOR LAW
 IS ATTACHED A Chinese Wash Bill Is Giving Him Much
 Annoyance. The Church Treasurer Served With a Writ Of Exc

 Costs.


 The salary of Rev. Marshall Law, rector of the fashionable Church of the Advent, has been attached to satisfy a modest judgment of a Chinese laundry man.
 The most interesting part of the incl dent is that the rector is not yet aware of the fate that has befallen him. But, nevertheless, a deputy constable has served an execution on the financial board, ordering them to hold all moneys and properties belonging to Rev. Marshall Law. and warning them that it will be against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth even if they make a small advance till the judgment is satisfied.
 The claim is an assigned one and suit was brought by F. H. Robinson on behalf of the Chinese. Robinson served the summons on the rector, but
