TWO Ex-CoNvICTs.
Burglar Suspects Caught After a
Hard Chase.

There was a great chase and hnal
capture of burglar suspects in the VI
cinity of Fourth and ] streets about
3 o'clock yesterday morning, and IL a
remarkably short space of time an i'm
mense crowd gathered, the individuals
of which swapped information and
spread new rumors broadcast.
The story most rolled under the
tongues of the news purveyors wa; to
the effect that an aged man who was
leaving the California State Bank, after
drawing down bag full of money, was
knocked down by a robber who at
tempted to relieve. him of his wealth.
The truth of the matter as obtained
from the officers interested, is that
three ex-convicts, named George Smith,
alias Hines, and Tom and John Woods,
had been in the city several days and
were suspected by the police of having
burglarized the house Of All Sam, the
Chinese interpreter, on Seventh street
last Saturday
Chief of Police Dwyer yesterday set
Special officer Brown to watch the
men, and about 8 o'clock, when near
the California State Bank, Brown
started in to arrest the gang. He sue
ceSSfully coIlared one or the men, Dut
the other two bolted.
Officers Maley and Fisher, who were
in the vicinity. gave chase to the fleeing
men and had a merry time of it. The
fugitives ran into the alley between !
and J, Third and Fourth streets, darteo
through Chinese Easements with which
they were familiar, and doubled on
their tracks and tried a stairway al
the rear of the bank building.
The officers followed them, and Ma
ley in his haste, broke down a fence
and spoiled a suit of clothes. Finding
they were closely pursued, the suspects
finally left Chinatown, and startef
along the bank of China Slough toward
the depot. Maley and Fisher finally
corralled them in the fringe of brush
at the northwestern part of the slough
and lodged them in Jail.
The three men captured are ex-con-
victs and opium fiends, and the police
expect to fasten the burglary of Al
Sans house upon them. They are
what the officers call "dead-hard
mugs" and are the kind of citizens who
are not wanted in Sacramento.

UNDER AMUSEMENT.
The Spelling-Barry Matter Heard
by the Secretary of State.

James H. Barry and T. Carl Spelling
both claim to be the regular Demo
cratic nominees for Congress from the
Fourth District (San Francisco, anu
naturally both want to get on the
ticket as such.
Or Saturday last Spelling presented
his certificate of nomination to the
Secretary of State, and requested thai
his name be inserted as the regular
Democratic nominee.
Seth Mann, Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, was
present and denied Spelling's right to
get on the ticket. He told Secretary
Brown that Barry's certificate Woulo
shortly be filed, and at his suggestion
yesterday was the day set for hearing
arguments in the case.
Spelling was on hand to look altei
his own interests yesterday, ana W. II
Devlin Of this city looked after barry :
end of the affair Mr.. Devlin presented
Earry's certificate of nomination, anu
Spelling lodged a protest against us
being filed.
The protest was in the form OF sew
eral affidavits setting forth that opel
Ing had received the nomination at lhe
hands Of a convention, the delegates OF
which had been appointed by the Demo
cratic Congressional Committee OF the
Fourth District.
Mr.. Devlin introduced evidence tend
ing to show that the convention Whlch
nominated Spelling had been appointed
by committee appointed by the BUCK
leyites in 1896, after that body had
beer refused seats in the State Con
vention. and which had never repre-
scented the Democracy of the district.
Mr.. Spelling said he did not believe
the committee had been appointed py
the Buckley faction. and Mr.. DeVlln
demanded that he be sworn. He was
sworn accordingly, and repeated ms
statement, whereupon Mr.. Devlin told
him it was not true, and that he knew
1t.
Spelling still insisted that he dlo not
believe the committee had been ap-
pointed by the Buckley faction, anu
said he would not be bulldozed, anu
that it would have to stop.
The evidence produced was not OF
very satisfactory nature, and after the
arguments had been made Secretary
OF State Brown took the matter under
adyisement

TWO SMALL FIRES.
One Was Accidental, the Other
Probably Incendiary.

Shortly after noon yesterday mat
tress in the basement Of the Elmer
Hotel on K street, between Front and
Second, caught fire and was the occa-
sion for turning out the Fire Depart
ment. The basement was filled with
smoke and the firemen had some diff
Guilty in locating the source from which
it emanated. How the mattress caught
fire is considerable of a mystery 1t
was near a basement window from
which the wire screening had been
torn, and many people are inclined to
believe it was the work of an incendi-
ary.
A small sized blaze occurred in the
residence of Thomas c. May, at 210 c
street, about 7:30 o'clock last evening,
caused by the overturnfng Of an oil
lamp. The furniture was badly dam
aged by the flames and the stream of
water turned on, but the fire was ex-
tinguished without trouble. The loss
was nominal.

ROMANCE IN Low LIFE.
Emma Hines, in a Fit Of Jealousy,
ATTEMPTS Suicide.

Emma Hines, who has for some time
past been living with a man named
William Landgraft. was taken to the
Receiving Hospital about o'clock last
night with a bullet in her side. She had
shot herself at the Brown House.
Dr. ogden, Assistant City Physician,
was summoned and worked for a long
time trying to locate the bullet, which
entered the side about the fifth rib,
and seemed to glance along the rib. He
was not able to locate 1t, however.
Landgraft claimed that the woman
shot herself in the presence of him
and Lena Oster, through jealousy, he
having told her that he was going
away and would not come back. She
told the same story at the station, in
sisting that it was her own act.
Lena Oster stated that Emma said
to Landgraft, kiss me, Billy" She
was under the influence of liquor, and
when he answered, Wait till we get
over to the house, and I WILL" she
pulled the pistol and shot herself.

A SAD FATE.
Charles Wieger Ends His Life in
Golden Gate Park.

A dispatch from San Francisco last
evening contained the following ac-
count of the finding of the body of
Charles Wieger in Golden Gate Park,
where he had committed suicide by TAX
ing opium:
Upon the body were found three let
ters from Wiegers children addressed
to him at the Golden West Hotel, where
he usually stayed when in this city.
They were the commonplace family let
ters.
On the back of the envelope of one of
them Wieger wrote his last words.
They were as follows:
God bless my darling children and
farewell The sun is almost down.
Florence, Julius, Helene, Her1ninn
and Vera-my five innocent darlings. l
cannot help you myself have to go
or else I will slip further down still.
There is a pawn ticket in this book
for the gold watch you can redeem
within three months. Interest is 80
cents.
"A steady position is what I needed.
l think l fought brayely enough these
last six MONTHS
There was another paragraph in
which Wieger bequeathed a curse on
Philip Scheld of this city.
Wieger was once in business here, but
failed and was convicted Of defrauding
Eastern houses by false statements as
to his financial standing. He was Sc
verely criticised at one time for aband-
oning and falling to support his fam7
lily. A few months ago he was en-
ployed by a mercantile firm in this city
for a short time.
The unfortunate man no doubt had
led very miserable life of late years,
and being out of steady employment be-
came so respondent that he could see
no relief except through DEATH
