hauled Near the Depot.

Frank Bennett, solicitor for the Sac
ramento Transfer Company, who runs
on the trains between this city and
DavisvilIe, aided by one of the car
cleaners at the depot landed in jail last

the purse of a woman who came III on
the O'Clock train from San Francisco.
The woman had a little girl with her,
and in her haste to leave the car or its
arrival at the depot she left or dropped
her purse on the seat. She had reached
the platform of the car before she dis
covered her loss, and Immediately re-
turned to the seat she had occupied, but
the purse was gone.
Mr.. Benefits attention had been
called to the matter and the car-cleaner
pointed out to him a youth who was
making his way rapidly from the de-
pot as the person who had picked Up
something from the seat the woman had
occupied.
Bennett and the car cleaner followed
the man and soon overlook him, and
Bennett asked him what he had done
with the woman's purse The fellow
denied any knowledge OF the purse, but
his captors laid hold of him and took
him back toward the depot. They were
net by Special officer Hickey, to whom
the prisoner was turned over.

ly. saw him fumbling in his coat pocket
and then make a motion as if throwing

was just So. and it tailed exactly with
the pieces described by the woman.
There was yet penny unaccoun,ed for,
but that was found near by where the
purse had been thrown.

station and locked up, while Mr.. Ben
nett went TO the Western Hotel for a
passenger named w. L. Martin, who
was on the train and saw the man PICK
up the purse. Mr.. Martin went to the

A STOCKING IN THE RIVER.
WHERE CLEMENTS CACHED
McCRANEY'S MONEY.
His Daughter Told Chief Dwyer,
and Some of the Stolen
Money Was Found.

On Tuesday last $3.50 belonging to
Henry A McCraney, clerk in the office
of the Supreme Court Clerk at the Cap
itol building was stolen from the Office
vault AS stated in Sundays Record
Union" Mr.. McCraney notified Chief OF
Police Dwyer of his loss, and the latter
caused the arrest of Tony Clements.
negro ex-convict, on suspicion OF haV-
ing committed the theft.
When arrested Clements had but 10
cents in his pockets, but Chief Dwyer
nevertheless felt positive he had the
right man, and went TO work on the
case with a determination TO sift it to
the bottom The result of the matter
is that $50 of the vanished coin has
been recovered, Mr. McCraney is snil-
ing, Clements will probably do another
turn behind the bars, and Chief DWyer
is modest.
Isaiah Williams is porter in the Su-
preme Court Clerks office, and his wife
is Clements daughter; and while no.
body really suspected Williams of TAX
ing the money-he having an enviable
reputation for honesty-Chief DWyei
allowed Mrs. Williams to believe that
her husband was under suspicion and
would be arrested if the money was not
found. On the other hand, he allowed
Clements to believe that his daughter
was suspected of having committed the
theft, and yesterday father and daugh-
ter expressed desire to see one an
other.
Chief Dwyer accordingly brought
them together in cell and left them to
talk matters over. When they were
finally separated Mrs. Williams made a
statement as coming from Clements
which was taken down in full, and
which proved to be correct.
Clements told his daughter that he
stole the money. He was in the SUI
preme Court Clerks office when the
vault was open. and seeing a tin box
therein, opened it with a hatchet and
appropriated the contents.
He told her that he had placed the
| money in an old cotton stocking, to
which he had attached a wire, and had
| then sunk it in the river near the foot
of NJ street, tying the end of the wire to
a stake which he first drove just under
| the water line He also told her
that he had left an Old boathook hang
| ing in a tree near where the coin was
deposited, and all these things the
woman told to Chief Dwyer, showing
that she had more love for her hus-
band than for her worthless father
After the story had been told Chief
Dwyer detailed Officer Fisher to inves-
tigate the truth or falsity of Clements
statement. and, accompanied by the
woman, the officer went to the point in
dicated. After some search the boat
hook was found in the tree, and a few
grapples brought up the wire, to the
end Of which was attached the stock
ing which held McCraneys money-not
| in silver, as might be expected, but in
$50 gold pieces. A number of boys were
fishing near the wire, and might at any
time have caught a bigger fish than
they expected. In drawing in the wire
| Fisher narrowly escaped a ducking.
| And SO ii happens that, while Mr.. Nc
Craney smiles, things look rather blue
for Tony Clements, who Will be charged

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Orpheum management has made
complete change this week-from
vaudeville it has gone clear over to
farce comedy for a weeks change.

and will be every evening this week,
closing Saturday night. The audience
last night was large and evidently well
pleased, judging by the applause ana
laughter. In one instance the encores
We're so many that the specialists had
to beg OF, amidst great laughter
Town Topics" is rafting farce
comedy of the most extravagant order
It's satire resides in its going to sucn
extremes in burlesquing the country
greenhorn taken in by the city sharp
ers. His adventures in the metropolis
are absurd and ridiculous, and no end
funny World is the most eXtrava-
giant Tramp" specialist on the stage,
and Keller is the best-natured green
horn imaginable. Mack is a typical
sharper with the lines so extravagant-
~ drawn that one laughs out of
sense of the absurdity of laughing at
all. Miss Leslie is a clever ballad ana
character singer, and Miss Phillips is
both a singer and dancer The women
of the piece are comely and lively, and
the Dutch character by Graham is an
excellent burlesque. The farce is full
of dancing, singing, high-kicking, novel
speciality acts, burlesques on the Bow
cry drama coon songs. choruses, jokes,
witticisms, local hits and SO on. The
company is one Of the best of its order,
and its leading comedians, Mack, Kel-
Ter and World, have few equals in their
line. Tonight the members of the,
Chamber of Commerce attend out of
compliment to the Orpheum manage
ment. They have taken 800 seats al
ready, but as the house holds 400
people there is room in plenty left, and
choice seats in all parts of the house
can be had.

1t was thought that the Occidental

be able to avert the fate of the Union

found itself.
But the State Building and Loan Com
missioners do not intend that it shall
continue in business if they can prevent
it. Yesterday the papers We're filed in the

them. through the Attorney-General, TO
enjoin the Occidental association from
continuing to do business, on the ground
that it is insolvent.
