letters of Gen. Rosecrans to the president
gave timely warning and had great infiu-
ence in thwarting those nefarious plans.
As resident Of the great city Of San
Francisco he well knew the curse Of rail-
way monopoly and helped to prevent our
beautiful city from sharing kindred
fate.
1t was. therefore. deeply gratifying to
his family that the city government should
show such high appreciation for his efforts
in fostering the interests of Los Angeles,
as well as In paying honor to his national
career as a soldier and statesman. All ar
rangements made in the decorations and
ceremonial were most beautifully and
tastefully carried out, and. I am sure,
called forth universal approval: and it was
a most impressive sight to see the thou
sands upon thousands Of sad visitors pay
ing their last tribute to the great COM
mander. The family of Gen. Rosecrans
will always bear In kindly memory the
gentlemen OF the city council Of Los An
geles.
have the honor to remain, yours very
sincerely. CARL F. ROsECRANs.

BURGLARS CAUGHT
The Murderer Of Croly Put Behind the
Bars

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 21-Chief
of Police Dwyer and his officers did good
work last night and before morning they
had behind the bars the two burglars
who entered the residence Of Ex-Street
Commissioner E. j. Croly last evening
and fatally shot him. Croly is still alive
but his death is momentarily expected
The prisoners are named Charles Leroy
and James Searight. The latter has
been in Jail here for petty thefts and is
wanted for burglary committed here
two years ago. Leroy is the man who
fired the Shots.
When taken before the dying man
last night he said he was positive Leroy
was the man who shot him. Leroy's
face and neck bore f1nger-nail scratches
which the police say were inflicted by
Croly.
Leroy says the marks were made by
a razor. A pal of the two prisoners
named Darwin, who Is also locked UP,
says Leroy and Searight went out to-
gether last night to commit burglary.
Other burglaries have been traced to the
prisoners. One of them murderously
assaulted a Japanese last Friday night
and took $50 from him.
The citizens are very indignant over
last nights tragedy and there have
been ominous mutterings about the
streets today. Many citizens have
openly declared that the burglars should
be lynehed.

LONDON, March 21.-E. H. Jackson,
who became prominent in 1891 as the
principal in what was known as the
Clithero case, is dead. Miss Emily Hall,
who was born in 1861 was married in 1887
to E. Haughton Jackson at Blackburn.
They never lived together, she returning
to her friends and he going to New Zea-
land. In 1883 Mr.. Jackson returned to
England, conversed with his wife and
had one interview with her, but she
steadily refused to live with him. Liti-
cation between the couple ensued. A
decree against the woman was obtained
in 1889. On March 8, 1891, Mr.. Jackson
and others seized Mrs. Jackson, who was
coming from church at Clithero and car
ried her off to his house at Blackburn,
where she was placed in charge of a
nurse and closely confined. Friends of
Mrs. Jackson obtained a writ of habeas
corpus and she was brought before the
Court of Appeals. which eventually de-
cided, on March 10, that husband has
no legal power to detain his wife against
her will. Mrs. Jackson returned to her
friends.

A Murder Mystery

SAN FRANCISCO. March 21.-The
police are tracing the movements Of ]. S.
Gladdis, laborer from Baden, on last
Friday night, when he was injured so
seriously that he died the following eve
ming. There is but little doubt in the
minds of the officers that he became en-
gagged in brawl and received several
wounds during the fight. but who the
guilty parties are they have been unable
to determine. Lille Hall, a denizen of
the Barbary Coast, and Samuel Afford,
a hanger-on in that vicinity, have been
arrested on suspicion of knowing more
about the fate of the Baden man than
