CHANCE TO REFORM
WOMAN'S APPEAL TO JUDGE OF
POLICE COURT.
The Statement Causes Reduction in
Fine, but Fails to Procure
Immunity.

MY God, judge can't woman ever have
a chance to reform? Must she always suf-
fer for past mistakes and crime?'
The wall was heard in Judge Kimball's 8
branch of the Police Court this morning
1t came from the seemingly broken heart Of
Maggie Mclean, white woman, about
forty years of age. Maggie stood pale and
trembling in the witness box. She bore
every evidence of physical suffering, and a
wan face evidenced recent illness.
She was charged with soliciting on the
streets and was arrested with Carrie Ira
vers. The latter, the older Of the two and
but meagerly clad. stood unmoved in the
dock. She had nothing to say.
Officers Herbert and Buckley told Judge
kimball that Maggie had solicited several
men on Maine avenue last night. They said
she was generally known as diSreputabie
character and had been to the workhouse
several times recently. A lawyer who was
making a semblance Of defense for the
women said he guessed they did not want to
say anything.

probably require q couple of years to

is understood that the capacity will be spf-
hcient to enable the company to sell its

1t is believed by some that the successful

VILLAGE BURNED.
Town of Jasper, Tex, IL Com pletely
Destroyed by Fire-Loss
About 100000.

Beaumont, Tex, June 3.-The little
town of Jasper, capital of Jasper
county, was entirely wiped out Sun
day morning by fire. Seventeen
houses, including every business
house in the place, and number of
residences were destroyed. The fire
broke out at three a. M, and in the
absence CT fire department the
town was at the mercy of the flames.
Previous to the fire the post office
safe and the safe of the county treas
urer had been blown open and
robbed. The conclusion of the peo-
pie of Jasper is that burglars blew
open these safes and then set fire to
the town to cover up their crime and
create an excitement which would
afford them an opportunity to es-
cape. The loss is estimated at $780,
600 by the fire. 1t could not be
learned what the thieves secured
from the safes. AS far as can be
learned there were no lives lost and
no one hurt. The robbers escaped.

SOLDIERS MOE A SALOON.
Wild Riot INDUCED I'm by Six Hun
dred Men from Preside at
SAN Francisco.

San Francisco, June "a mob OF
soldiers numbering 500 or 600 in
dulged in riot Friday night and
wrecked Mrs. Powers saloon, one of
the many drinking places just outside
the Preside reservation.
There are a great many conflicting
stories as to the origin of the trouble.
The soldiers of the Forty-sixth volun-
teer infantry were mustered out OF
service Friday, and the men given
their discharge and pay. Most OF the
men had several hundred dollars COM
ing to them, and they did consider
able drinking in the Preside resorts.
A man by the name of Morgan, OF
the Forty-sixth, was found uncon-
scious in front of Mrs. Powers sa-
loon. Two of Morgan's companions
took him to camp for treatment. The
doctor pronounced it case where
drugs had been administered. The
news spread rapidly about the camp,
and soon there were dozen or more
men running to Mrs. Powers saloon.
They demanded reparation for the
drugging of their comrade, but any
knowledge of the affair was denied.
Two or three ex-soldiers Longing
about the place sided in with the
women, and ordered the soldiers
from the premises. They went back
for reenforcements, and spread the
report that two of their companions
had been killed an this saloon.
A mob was made up of members of
the Forty-fifth and Forty-siXth regi-
ments, then rushed pell-mell through
the Preside gates to the saloon.
Stones were gathered on the way,
and then the place was stormed.
Every window in the place was
broken, the bar and fixtures smashed,
and the interior demolished complete
ly. The gas jets were snapped off, and
the coal oil lamps overturned.
The place caught fire and n po-
liceman broke through the crowd
and rang the fire alarm. BY that
ing to burn the place and lynch the
one helpless man, Harris. who had
been driven from the place. Officers
tried to rush Harris through the
crowd, but were stopped. In spite
of the efforts of the police to pro-
tect Harris, the soldiers beat and
cut him terribly. Finally, when the
squadron of cavalry and provost
guard of 60 men from the Forty
fifth arrived, passage was made
through the crowd and Harris taken
to safe place.
The efforts Of the cavalry and
guard to dispense the crowd were
futile until the fire hose was turned
on. This and the entire guard of the
post helped to restore order.
Mrs. Powers estimates the damage
at $4,000. Not thing was left in
tact in the saloon.
A careful investigation of the re-
port that some of the soldiers had
died from drugged liquor proved that
such was not the case. Morgan, of
the Forty-sixth regiment, was the
only man whom it is thought might
have been the victim of a drug.
An investigation of the riot will be
made by the police and military Of
ficials.
