Three years each in the penitentiary
is the sentence that was passed upon
Diamond and Grail, the horse thieves,
by Judge Ellis this morning. The
same penalty was also imposed upon
Walter Arnold, but in the latter case
the prisoner was paroled during his
good behavior.
The criminal business in the district
court this morning was the most inn
portant since the conclusion of thu
famous Davis trial. Darrell Diamond
and Gid Grail were first brought up
by Sheriff Taylor. Both of the men
had pleaded guilty at a former ses-
sion, and it only remained for the
judge to impose sentence.
Neither of the prisoners cared to
say anything in his own behalf, and
Judge Ellis did not mince words in
passing sentence. He said: at is uL-
necessary for me to enter into any
dissertation upon your cases. have
taken trouble to become advised re-
garding your past lives, and it is the
judgment of the court that you be
imprisoned in the penitentiary for a.
term of three years. You are re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff."
Lewis, the Echo hold-up artist, was
the next on the list but Judge Ellis
announced that passage of sentence
upon him would be postponed indefi,.
nitely.
On being arraigned upon the charge
OF larceny Walter Arnold plead guilty
and also waived time for sentencey
through his attorney, c., H. Carter,
District Attorney Phelps then ad-
dressed the court and said that I'm
consideration of the age of the pris-
oner, IL years. he believed the best
interests of society would be served
by admitting the boy to parole under
a severe sentence. which could be i'm
posed should he again become way
ward.
This recommendation was accented
by Judge Ellis, who sentenced Arnold
to three years in the penitentiary. but
directed that he be admitted to pa-
role. Before passing sentence the
judge delivered a lecture in which fss
clearly pictured the position of the
young man. saying it was for him to
decide whether he should become a
free and worthy citizen. or go to the
penitentiary

NEW YORK FIRE LOSSES.
Rapid Increase I'm the Number OF
Fires, Comparing Years.


New York, May 2.-The annual re-
port for 1905. issued by Fire Marshal
Peter Seery, shows that there were in
1905 in Manhattan, the Bronx and
Richmond 1850 fires, an increase of
201 fires from 1904. The total loss
by fire during the year is estimated
at s5,271 ,955. an increase of S741,012
over 1904. The average loss per fire
was s6S0.25, an increase of $90.O5. CT
the total number of fires there were
1887 in whic hthe losses were $40 or
less.
In regard to the causes were: Care
lessness with matches, 757; children
playing with matches, 244; careless
ness in the use of lighted cigars, 4O4;
overheated stoves and stovepipes 444;
chimney fires and defective nues, 439
bonfires and brush fires, 476; care
lessness in use of candles, 256; gas
lights in contact with curtains, IL;
Kerosene lamps exploding, 1876.
The report says that not a few fires
are caused through apparent care
lessness In the use of candles in re-
ligious services in homes, draughts
from open windows blowing curtains
against the lighted candles. Marshall
Seery also says: 81 was also surpris-
ed to find many cases among poorer
classes where three or more persons
in the same suite of rooms had each
fire insurance policy. IT appears
that If insurance companies were not
so lax in respect to risks issued, there
would be a material decrease in the
number Of fires"

Oakland Has the Green Eve.

Oakland, May 2.-It is announced
unofficially the plan of some of San
Francisco's leading people to have the
federal government guarantee an issue
OF bonds for rebuilding San Francisco
Is not meeting with approval among
members of congress. An intimation
is received from Washington that
such proposition will not meet with
federal approval.
II will be necessary for the business
men of San Francisco to at once de-
wise some other plan for handling the
financial end of the situation. It is
believed by those familiar with the
situation that private bankers in the
east may be induced to organize a
syndicate to underwrite bonds and
guarantee payment.

WINTER WEAKNESS
Or. Williams' Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Neod for
Blood and Nerves,

In winter the dir of the close rooms in
which we spend SO much Of tho time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in tho
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-
else as much and the skin and kidneys do
not throw of the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off, Relief can be had only
through the use of remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen tho blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case,"
said Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, Of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. "I
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were out of or.
der. / can't describe how miserable I
really was dragged through six
months Of fcebleness, growing weaker
all the time until I finally hadn 'tstrength
