HIS LOSS COMPLETE.
George B. Gray Saved Nothing
From the Fire.

The fire which destroyed George B.
Gray's inn on the Riverside road on
Wednesday night made a clean sweep
of the place. Mr.. Gray stated yester-
day that the whole building seemed to
be enyeloped in flames in an instant,
and he had no time to save thing.
Up stairs he had $50 in money. and
1T had TO go with the rest. Even the
money in the cash register behind his
bar could not be saved. A horse tied
at the railing in front of the door lad
a close call, and his halter had TO be
cut in order to get him out of the '.vay.
The mystery surrounding the origin
of the fire has not yet been solved. The
building was an old frame structure.

Six Months For the Little Brown
Man From the Orient.

Toxic Nakana, who was arrested in
May for having entered a japanese
lodging house at No. 80 NJ street and
stealing therefrom a coat and vest, was
yesterday morning permitted to enter
a plea Of guilty of petit larceny, in
Judge Hart's court, and was then SEN
fenced to six months in the County
Jail.
The prisoner was tried for burglary
about a month ago, but the jury dis
agreed, some of the jurors being of
the opinion that from the circrm-
stances surrounding the case imprison-
ment in the State Prison would be too
severe a punishment for the offense.
