L. A. Giocobbi, Keorny-Street Jeweler, Arrested for ReceiV-
 ina StoleD Property.

l.. A. Giacobbi, a jeweler at 33O kearny street, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Harry Reynolds and Dlnan on a warrant charging him with receiving stolen goods.
 The fashionable boarding-house of Mrs. G. H. Coy, 439 Geary street, was entered by a burglar on September II last and eight diamonds were stolen. There was considerable mystery about the burglary at the time, as no one was seen to enter ar leave the place, the diamonds having been stolen during the afternoon.
 Reynolds and Dinan ascertained from John Cullum, wuo is serving term for grand larceny, that e stole the diamonds and sold them to Giacobbi for s60 on Sep fember 20 The diamonds were worth s250. according to the estimate put upon them by Mrs. Coy.

tax, or license, would be illegal. It is certain that the city does not construct or repair sidewalks, that expense fall ing upon the property-owners so why say the people most interested, should the municipality set up a claim to iu- rlsdiction in the matter of taxing the space underneath the walks.
 The point is made that the property owner pays the cost Of excavating the space referred to and walls it up and covers 1t over in such a manner that if Is an actual benefit to the city, for when the sidewalk is laid it rests on solid foundation, whereas if it were put down on the sand it would soon settle in places, causing numerous breaks and a rough and uneven sur face. It is much more expensive. say the property-owners, to put down a sidewalk over an excavation than if would be on the ground. to say nothing of the cost of excavation and walling UT of the outer side, and the rent derived from this extra space barely pays in- terest on the extra cost.
 Some of the merchants say the ordi- nance borders on the ridiculous and that the Supervisors will not attempt to pass it, while one and all declare they will fight it to the bitter end if the at tempt is made to enact it into mu- nicipal law. If it is passed, they de- clare they will attack it's constitution ality in the courts. but they consider il a hardship to be compelled to seek re- dress from what they term SO oppres- sive a measure in the courts.

ARRESTED ON HER
 WEDDING EYE
A Peculiar Story told by Della CaStelO in @ Cell
  Last Night.
Left Her Home and Her Brother Conn Plained Which Led to Her
 Imprisonment.

Detectives Wren and Gibson arrested
 girl last evening on Grant avenue who
 gave her name as Della Castelo and said
 that she had formerly lived with her
 brother at 404 Union street, but trouble
 having arisen in the family she left last
 Friday and had not returned home since.
 Her brother, Jim Castelo, made a com

 Della She was charged with vagrancy
 at the California-street station.
 She stated that she and her brother
 had quarreled over trifing matters, but
 that she had determined never to go
 home again as she was 27 years of age
 and capable of taking care of herself. She told of being engaged to a young man by the name of Jim Hallahan, who resides at 19 Silver avenue, and said that
 they were to have been married to-day as Hallahan had declared his intention of taking out a marriage license. The couple, according to her statement, were to have been married on the day before Christmas but something prevented. The officers are of the opinion that the girl Is Simple-minded, and she bears out the idea to a certain extent, as she says she has been under a doctors care for over a year and that the treatment given her had slightly affected her hearing and mind
 She cried almost continuously during the first few hours following her arrest, but was not willing that her brother should be notified of her condition. The story told by her is not given much | credence by the police.

THE ACTION
 HAD NO MERIT H. w. Philbrook's Case Roasted and Then Thrown Out
 of Court. No Proof of Conspiracy or That His Constitutional Rights Had
 Been Invaded.

Horace W. PhiIbrook, attorney and counselor at law, lost half million dol lars yesterday.
 This statement is not sufficiently pre- else standing alone. The fact is that his suit against the Justices of the Supreme Court and others for half a million dam ages because they had disbarred him for contempt was dismissed by Judge Hiram Knowles of Montana, sitting in the place of United States Circuit Judge Morrow.
 Early in the proceedings, after MT. Philbrook had stated his case to the jury a motion was made to dismiss the action so far as AttorneY-General FftZ- gerald and Robert Y. Hayne were con- cerned. Mir. Philbrook made an elabor- ate argument on the motion and Judge Carpenter replied.
 Yesterday afternoon Judge Knowles rendered an opinion granting the motion to dismiss as against the two defendants named. The opinion held that Philbrook had not proved his allegation of conspir- acy: that he had been disbarred by prop CT process of law and for just cause; that the language complained of in the Phil brook brief if presented to any court in and derogatory to the dignity of the court; that the Justices of the Supreme Court could not be held liable in a civil action for any acts done in their judicial capacity, even if they had expressed their authority; that no constitutional right of Philbrook had been violated, and that there was no evidence to prove any con spiracy at all on the part of any of the defendants.
 the other defendants to dismiss as against them and the motions were granted. MT. Philbrook interposed an exception in each case.
 After the adjournment of court he an. nounced that he intended to take an ap- peal to the Supreme Court of the United States.

WILL APPEAL
 TO THE COURTS Merchants in Open Re- volt Against Further
 Taxation.
Determined to Fight the Pro- posed Licensing of Ex-
 cavatiOns.
They Declare Ito Be Illegal, Inasnuch as Sidewalks Are a Part of
 the Premises.
Probably the Board of Supervise

Probably the Board of Supervisors never conjured up a more unpopular measure than the proposed ordinance to tax business men for the use of space underneath the sidewalks. With out a single exception the merchants have lifted their voices in protest against the measure and declare it an outrage they will not submit to- They bring many arguments to show why this tax should not be imposed upon them, not the least of their contentious being that they now have to pay a tax on their goods and a license to do busi- ness, in addition to their rent. and any further burden would be rank injus- tice.
 It is argued that the space under meath the sidewalks is of no use what ever to the city, while its utilization by the business men tends to keep the sidewalks clear of goods.
 Moreover, it is asserted that the courts have decided that the sidewalks are part of the premises and such a

The questions asked the attor- ney were if the order, if enacted, would prevent pool selling in any form what ever in the city and county and if the order will prevent persons from receiv- ing money on commission to purchase or invest in pools in this city and county or elsewhere.
