ALL ARE FIX CONNECTS
ROBBED THE ROLLING MILLS OF
 MUCH BRASS.

Lieutenant Anderson and Police Officer Clancy of the Potrero station, and De- tective Tom Ryan last night arrested seven well-known crooks who have been oper- ating in South San Francisco Their names are: John Sullivan, alias Murphy; Frank Donnelly, Joe Hodge, Neil and John Bonner, James Murray and Frank Burke. All are well known to the police, Donnelly having served two terms in San Quentin for robbery and burglary.
 Late yesterday afternoon Lieutenant Anderson learned that the gang had broken into Pacific Rolling Mills at the Potrero, and got away with brass jour- nal worth about $100. After securing the journal the bold thieves carried it to boat which they had in waiting and rowed to point near the Arctic Oil Works, where another of the gang was waiting with a horse and buggy. After disem- barking they placed the journal in the buggy and drove to this city, where the stolen brass was disposed of for $S Con- vinced that they would return to the roll ing mills, Lieutenant Anderson stationed Clancy at a point where he could com mand a view of the place. A short time afterward two, of the gang rowed up to another raid. Catching a glimpse of the policeman the men pulled out in the stream and awaited developments.
 Clancy, Wno was in citizen s clothes, shouted to them that he wanted to board ship which was lying in the stream, and offered to pay them handsomely if they would row hIm to the vessel Evi- dently thinking he was sailor, who was anxious to get aboard of his ship, the two thieves promptly accepted hls offer. As they rowed over to him Clancy jumped into the boat, and showing his star placed them under arrest. They were taken to the Potrero station, and Detective Ryan was sent for. After being put through the sweating process the prisoners companions. After considerable trouble the officers subsequently, arrested the rest of the gang and took them to the City Prison, where they were charged with grand larceny. The horse and buggy which they used in carrying off their booty was found tied to a tree a short distance from the rolling mills.

A Good Investment.

A saving of two tons of coal per day is effected in the power house of the Claus Spreckels building by the use of the Barnard Wheeler Cooling Tower. which enables the engine plant to be operated condensing. It is a popular belief that an engine must be located close to an abundant and cheap supply of salt or fresh water to secure the economical advantage of condensing the exhaust steam from the engines.
 While the cooling tower system has been extensively used in the East, Mr. Spreckels was the first to apply a mod ern tower in a modern power plant on this coast, and the results have been so economical that the owners of the pow CT plant in the Parrott building are now installing two large Barnard Wheeler towers, which should result in a material coal saving.
 The cooling tower is simple in con- struction, small and compact. The cooling of the circulating water from the condensers is effected by distribut- ing the water over galvanized wire mats suspended vertically in a sheet iron tower, between which mats a cur rent of air is forced and the water thus cooled is returned to the condensers, when the alternate operation of heating and cooling is repeated.
 Charles c. Moore & Co.,, 32 First st., this city, are Pacific Coast Agents for the Barnard Towers, which are made by the Wheeler Condenser and Engi- neering Company, New York.

Blood Would Flow Down Cheeks. Doctors and Dispensary No
 Use. Awful Suffering.
Cured by CUTICURA REMEDIES Now Entirely Healed With
 Lovely Clear Skin.

Our baby, when one month old, had raw place on her neck which spread slowly over the whole face, the face and neck being all raw meat, sometimes dry and then wet, and something awful to look at. The way the child suffered, mother and child never had any rest day or night as it constantly itched, and the blood used to flow down her cheeks. We had doctors and went to the dispensary without any result. By using part of bottle of CUTIcURA REsoLvENT, three boxes of CUTI- cURA (ointment), and CUTIcURA SOAP, the child scGs entirely healed. Now she is two years old and has lovely skin which we can be thankful to CUTIcURA REMEDIES and nothing Llse. Mrs EMIL +. GARNJOSS,

IlI-Timed Levlty.

This country is at war with Spain; our
army and navy are in danger and taxes
are increasing; this is no time for levity.
However, the mugwump press is no re-
specter either Of persons or occasions, and
no one was greatly surprised at reading
the following in Harper's Weekly:
"Let us hope that Commodore Dewey
will withhold his consent absolutely from
the use Of his portrait for advertising
patent medicines. He halls from Yer
mont, as we have all recently learned, and
Vermont OF course is proud Of him. But
she is sensitive about the use of her great
mems pictures by advertisers. The por.
trait of her governor, Josiah Grout, has
lately figured in the newspapers in connec'
ton with patent medicine, and there il
reason to believe Gas lately set forth in the
Evening Post) that Vermont has not ikeG
it. Of course it would be worth goot
deal to patent medicine man to prin
Commodore Dewey's portrait with thu
statement, 81 took your pills at Manila,
or Sc Admiral Montojo was much helped b.
the use Of your nerve remedy after ou
fight" But this would not do. Vernon

A Runaway Stage.

Ora F. Phillips, the Keene and NARROW
stage driver, met with an accident which
might have proved very serious Monday
morning three or four miles above Gilsum
village while making his regular trip from
NARROW to Keene. One of the tugs broke
suddenly, frightening the near horse SO badly
that the team ran away. Phillips was thrown
to the ground and dragged several rods
before the lines broke, setting the horses
free. His right leg was run over by two
wheels and badly bruised, but the load was
light one and he was not so seriously in
jured as to prevent his bringing the mail to
Keene as usual.
There were fortunately no passengers on
board and no teams in the road toward Gil
sum. Two of the four cans of cream on board
were spilled, the whiffietrees and evenel
were broken and the pole was split. The
body of the stage was thrown off about {
mile above Gilsum village and the horse:
freed themselves from the forward wheels
near the postoffice by running against tel
ephone pole. The horses ran to Buckmin
ster's hotel in Gilsum. Mr.. Phillips estimate
his total loss at about S25.

1t is feared the small appropriation for free
rural delivery may affect the Brattleboro de-
livery. which is popular in the West River
and Taft districts. The appropriation for the
country is small, and unless the service can
be sustained by those interested, it is likely
to be dropped off in several places.
