Two Men Hold Up a Grocerynan and Take
 His Valuab
Arrested While Fleeing Witt Their Plunder From the
 Scene.
The Plucky Grocer Fired Five Shots at the Men While They
 Ran.

This morning at about o'clock two men entered the grocery store of B. Lieb- scher, on the corner of Mason and Pacific streets, and demanded that the propri- etor give up his valuables Upon bis pro- testing they beat him over the head with a revolver and compelled him to submit.
 They took his watch, money amounting to S117 and other valuables and ran out going toward Broadway.
 Liebscher grabbed his revolver and fol- lowed to the street and fired five times at the fleeing men. Officers Conway, Peshon and Connors heard the firing and ran toward the store, meeting the robbers, whom they placed under arrest.
 The booty secured by the robbers was found on their persons and the men were taken to the California street station where they were booked on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and rob bery.
 The men gave the names of James Thorn and John .Winrow. It is believed by the police that the two men have been connected with the various rob- berries which have taken place on the north side.
 Liebscher was badly bruised about the head and face, but his injuries are not serious.

WILL BE A TOTAL WRECK.
Captain Peapody of the Ship New York Thinks the Vessel Will
 Never Be Saved

Captain Peabody of the ill-fated ship New York, which a month ago became stranded on the shores of Halfmoon Bay, reached the city a few days ago and joined his wife and child at downtown hotel
 Although out of employment by the loss of his vessel the captain shows no signs of worry, as he has just received a sympathetic letter from the owners of the vessel, in which they speak highly of his ability as a seaman and hold him blameless for the wreck of the vessel.
 In speaking about the wrecked vessel last evening Captain Peabody said: "On the night of the accident gale was was anything. One by one l sent men aloft to sight the Farallones or the Point Bo- nita light, but without success. At last saw breakers. l tried to wear my ship around but she did not answer her helm as quickly as she would in the open sea. The strong undercurrent rapidly drew US high and dry on the land.
 ''The gale increased in violence and the waves went over us. washing everything cts as signals of distress, but as fast as they were lighted the waves would put them out At a last we tried lighted ed thus gave those on shore warning of our peril"
 After narrating the perilouS scenes en- acted that awful night, the captain said he lost nearly everything he possessed in the world by the wrecking of the vessel. He has been sailing th6 mighty deep since 1862 and was given his command when twenty-three years old. This is the first wreck he ever experienced during his long service. Mrs. Peabody and their little girl are still unnerved by the perils of that night.
 Captain Peabody expects to be given another command very shortly. As to the New York, he thinks she can never be recovered

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Missing Records of the Mission Grammar School Wanted for the
 -n4.

For some weeks 1t has been known to the Superintendent of Schools that the missing records of the Mission Grammar School, which were wanted in the Craven case, were in the possession of James M. Wilkins. proprietor of the Cliff House.
 The fact was communicated to Chief Lees and the District Attorney and the Chief went to the Cliff House and saw the books Wilkins was asked to give up the books, but declined to do so except by order of the court. Monday the Dis trict Attorney applied to Judge Belcher for the necessary order, put 1t has not yet been granted.
 There are four books: Teachers time and class recorc for April, 1895; class records April 1, 1895, to close of the half year. teachers time table and class rec ords for the last half of the year 1895 and the same for the half-year from January l to June 30, 1896.
 '"The only object said District Attor- ney Barnes yesterday, in securing pos- session of the books is to complete the annals of the School Department With out them the records Of the department would be incomplete, and, as they are public documents they should not be in the possession of an outsider. AS far as I know lnere is no intention or founding a criminal charge against Mrs. Craven upon these records. In fact, 1 know of no present intention or reviving the Cra- ven case in any form. There is nothing in the records in question bearing upon the case of Notary Cooney, which is the only phase of the Craven litigation pend ing in the criminal courts:
 Chief Lees said that the long-drawn- out story in morning paper was all rot. He was notified that the books were at the Cliff House and as they were nubIic documents they should be in the posses- sion of the Schoc' Department
