INJURED THE JAIL.
Prisoner sperry In Line for =
Double Dose.

William Sperry, who is doing a term
in the County Jail for a petty offense,
is in more trouble, all because he did
not like the quarters furnished by
Sheriff johnson and attempted to
change them without due notice.
Sperry attempted to break Jail, and
succeeded in removing several bricks
from the wall before he was discovered.
There happens to be a statute making
it felony to willfully injure and de-
stroy public property, and Deputy
Sheriff Hilbert yesterday swore out a
complaint before Justice Henry charg-
ing Sperry with injuring and destroying

OAKLAND. Aug 9.-The most anus

of the damage to the coast steamer
Weeott. which struck upon a rock be-
tween Saltwater Cove and Salt Point,
Cal, on July 10 of this year. The vessel
was damaged to the extent of $3.50
In rendering their opinion the Inspec-
tors laid stress upon the testimony of
Captain S. II. Burtis. TO the effect that
he had no deviation card; nor had the
Weeott been swung for deviation since
built He testified. also. that the polaris
was out of order, and that he was de-
pendent upon the course stCcred between
Point Bonita and Point Reyes, seeing the
land for correcting his compasses on the
trip. g.

gent in leaving the vessel in charge Of
the chief mate, who was not familiar

II II ICHELET says of the elder
WNfN Dumas that his quantity of
Il X u mind was out of all proportion
4 ~ y to its quality; Andrew Lang
tells us that many books signed
by him might be neglected without loss;
our reading convinces us that he was a
master hand at portraying the fictitious
adventures of historical characters, and
common sense advises us that plot and
plan of "a Fairy Godmother" most fnad-
equately represent him as an author and
give Mr.. Clinton Stuart but little oppor-
tunity TO use his ability as playwright.
IF the play were not so pretentious we
might call it a farce. for its lack of seri-
Gus intention condemns it as such. but
the bubble of a good farce is lost in
certain heaviness of line and situation
that intrudes itself, in more or less
vagrant mood, throughout the play. In

Yvonne, but she plays it all at the top
