Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham, sus- pecting that Edminster was the much wanted burglar, concealed _themselves yesterday morning opposite his shop and wajted for him to appear. While they were patiently waiting for him he was ranksacking the residence of Mrs. O'Donnell, at 2606 Market street. After leaving the house Edminster went | 1o the jewelry store, where he was arrest- ed, and endeavored to sell the watch which he had stolen from the residence of Hack Inspector Gorman. Detective O'Dea was passing on a street car and recognizing the burglar from his descrip- tion fallowed him into the store. When asked where he got the watch Edminster, who is tall and muscuiar, showed fight. When the detective placed a revolver to his head and threatened to shoot if he made another move he announced his will- ingness to surrender. He was then hand- cuffed and -taken to the City Prison. An unusually fine skeleton key was found eoncealed in the leg of his trousers. Charley Gorman, the thirteen-year-old #on of Hack Inspector Gorman, - visited the prison last night and positively identi- fied Edminster as the man whom he had seen leaving the house after taking his sister's watch. The pr on at le oner will be formally booked ten charges of burglary to-day.

Thomas Cunnane and George Murphy, peddlers, have been victimizing several commission merchants in the wholesale district by stealing articles and driving away with them. Yesterday they ap- peared before Judge Mogan and were con- victed on a charge of petty larceny. They were ordered into custody and: will be sentenced this morning. The complaining witness agalinst them was Daniel O'Callaghan of O’Callaghan & Nelson, 16 Davis street. They drove to his store on the 13th inst. and wanted to buy fifteen sacks of potatoes and flve sacks of onions on credit. This was re- fused, and while O'Callaghan’s back was turned, they threw five sacks of beans into the wagon and drove away. O'Calla- ghan and Policeman Mullender pursued and overtook them, when they offered to pay for the beans. Murphy was also convicted on another. charge. He drove to the store of Place & Wayland, 415 Davis street, on the 10th inst., and asked for twenty sacks of pota- toes on credit, which was refused. He then told Wayland he had a_ customer on Bush street, and if he would give him the potatoes he would sell them and re- turn with the money in half an hour. On that promise he got the tubers, but | failed to return with the money. Other commission merchants were swin- dled in the rame way, but as the de- fendants were convicted, they did not care to swear to complaints against them. —_—— Pasadena Gas Case at Bar. ‘W. H. Johnston, an employe of the gas company which is making a fight to lay its mains in Pasadena regardless of the opposition of the authorities, appeared before the Supreme Court yesterday in an attempt to secure his release.

The Grand Jury held a session yester- day to continue the investigation into the alleged faflure of justice in Judge Mo~ gan's court in the case of Frank Morris- sey, Thomas Crouch and Martin Flynn, who were charged with assaulting Mrs. Rosa Kilbourn of Santa Rosa. The Grand Jury on Tuesday last heard the stories of Mrs. Kilbourn and the po- licemen who arrested the men. The ac- cused men gave their testimony yester- day and denled that they had offered any violence to Mrs. Kilbourn. They swore that they had only assisted her when they discovered that she was in a hysteri- cal state. ‘A number of witnesses were in attendance to give testimony as to the reputation of Mrs. Kilbourn, but before any of them were called word s given out that the Grand Jury decided that there was no evidence on which to base an indictment. —_—— To-Day’s News Letter. This week’s News Letter does much to carry out the general opinion that this paper is the West's great weekly of wit. There are two notable pieces of light verse in the Looker On and Town Crier on the subjects of “Anarchy Isle” and “The Telephone Microbe” respectively. “‘Our Musical City” is a fanciful account of the Board of Supervisors' meeting un- der the coming regime, and there is a very laughable travesty on Ade, touch- ing off a n;omlnzm event of the week. Lady Algy has some exclusive gossip on the success of a San Francisco girl in ‘Washington, and the Looker On is not far behind 'in interest. .The dramatic criticism opens with a laughable bit of lampoon.

Makes a splendid lather, four cakes to the bar, Ic a cake. The complaining witness said his true | name was Alfred H. Mellor and explained | that he signed the complaint as “A. Mil- | ler” because he did not want his rea.li name to appear in the newspapers. He | said he was a speculator and money lend- | er and came here from Victoria, B. C., | about four months ago and was living with his wife at 1516 O’'Farrell street. He told of his meeting with Lane in answer to an advertisement for a loan of $3000, to be repaid within ten days with $12,500. Lane broached to him the real object of the advertisement. Lane wanted to break the faro bank through his friend Su!ton,] the dealer, who he said owned a thor-| gughbred ranch in Yaquina, Miss., but | was financially embarrassed. Mellor said | that he fell in with the scheme as he was to get 40 per cent of the winnings for the use of his money, the other 60 per cent to be divided between Lane and Sut- ton. He met Sutton in his room in the Grand Hotel, when it was agreed that Sutton was to give certain signals to guide Mellor in his play. Mellor Was an Easy Victim. Mellor testified that he drew $1700 from | the Canadian Bank of Commerce Janu- | ary 2 and that night met Lane by ap- | pointment. Together they went to a room in the Palace Hotel. The password for admission was ‘“Two gents from Sar- atoga.” When Lane knocked at the door he gave the password and Stickney, alias Fagenbush, admitted them. Sutton was sitting behind the faro table and Carroll had a lot of chips before him, as if he had been playing. Mellor described min- | ut;;}y how he bet by the signals, but lost i After the game Lane took Mellor to Sutton’s room and in a few minutes Sut- ton joined them. Sutton apologized for Mellor’s ill-luck and remarked that the game had been a ‘“‘tough” one, but jf Mellor had $1500 more he could have re- couped himself. They met subsequently, and it was agreed that Lane should put up $2000 and Mellor $3000, and by an agroed system_of play they would be sure win- ners. Mellor became suspicious and em- ployed a private detective to shadow the quartet. Mellor and Lane were to try the second experiment January 8. The police. were notified, and that morning the arrests were made in room 304 of the Palace. Archibald C. Kalns, assistant cashier of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, tes- tified to Mellor having drawn $1700 from the bank January 2. He also sald that Lane called at the bank and asked about Mellor's standing. Mrs. Wilhelmina Mellor, wife of the complaining _witness, testified to having seen Lane three times at her house and Sutton once. The case for the prosecution was then closed. No Evidence Against Carroll. Attorney Barnes moved for a dismissal on the ground that the complaining wit- ness had acknowledged that he had Joined in a conspiracy to rob the faro bank, and also that the whole thing was illegal and no jury would return a ver- dict of guilty. Regarding Carroll and Stickney, allas Fagenbush, there was ab- solutely no_evidence against them. Judge Cabaniss agreed that so far as Carroll and Stickney, allas Fagenbush, were concerned there was merely sus- picion ‘and that was not law. He dis- missed the case against Carroll, and would have done the same with the case against Stickney, alias Fagenbush, had he not been informed that the prisoner was wanted in Chicago. He continued the cases against Lane and Sutton till this morning, when he will render his de- cision on the motion to dismiss. Detective Sergeant John Hanley arrived from Chicago yesterday with the papers for the extradition of Stickney, alias Fa- genbush, who is wanted there for swin- dling people by means of worthless min- ing stock. e No Contract Exists. City Attorney Lane filed an opinion yes- terday to the effect that the Board of Education cannot enforce the specific performance of a contract to sell a lot on McAllister street, entered into between Owen McHugh, the owner, and Herman Murphy, who acted for the board. Mec- Hugh agreed to sell the lot for $2325, but changed his mind when he learned that the city was the intended purchaser. City Attorney Lane holds that as there is no contract in existence, McHugh cannot be compelled to sell the lot at the figure named.

Uncle Sam’s officials are loudly demand- ing the scalp of one poor little mongoose. Customs Inspector Lynch was on the gangplank of the transport Kilpatrick when Army Surgeon Hallwood passed out with a pet mongoose, which he had acquired and trained in the Philippines. The mongoose is a great snake and gopner destroyer, but likes poultry and pigeons better, and for the latter liking has been barred out of the United States. There is a double barrier against him be- cause the importation of any wild or domesticated animal from the Philippines s also prohibited. Inspector Lynch al- lowed the animal to land, having forgot- ten the prohibition. Deputy Customs Surveyor Chauncey Milton St. John lives at the Occidental Hotel and heard that Dr. Hallwood, who had also put up at that hostelry, had a| prohibited animal there. He notified State | Quarantine Officer Craw, and the mon- goose was taken and placed in the store Toom of the Appraiser's building Thurs- day night. ‘When the customs officers visited the storeroom yesterday morning a scene of devastation was spread before them. The mongoose had gnawed his way out of the box in which he had been confined., De- tecting a familiar odor in a case of opium he gnawed it open and, not liking ' its taste, scattered the contents over the floor. Then the “varmint” sampled the tea samples and brought tears into the eyes of Teataster Toohy by scattering the choicest brands about the room as though tea were worth no more than sawdust. In vain did the customs officials attempt to seduce or coax the mongoose into cap- tivity, and as a last resort Dr. Hallwood was sent for. When the mongoose beheld his master he gave a glad squeak and jumped into his arms joytully, but in spite of the doctor’s indignant protests the pet snake-killer was taken away from him and will be killed, or deported at the doctor’s expense. Surveyor Spear has reported Inspector Lynch to the Collector for neglect of duty in having allowed the mongoose to be taken ashore. CITY EMPLOYES MUST STOP SHAVING DEMANDS Board of Works Issues an Order Con- demning Trafic With Money Brokers. The Board of Public Works issued an order to its employes yesterday inform- ing them that it disapproves the practice of disposing of their demands upon the treasury to money brokers in ‘advance of the date set for payment. The employes are also instructed that no information as te period of service or compensation will be given to any person not officially en- titled to receive it. C. Schilling, attorney for Charles Mark- man, filed a complaint with the board al- leging that Buperintendent of Streets Heath has persistently refused to accept repaving done by Markman on trenches uted for pipe service. Schilling said that Heath had written to all the corporations that Markman’s work was faulty and on that account Markman was unable to ob- | tain contracts. Schilling alleged that Heath was impelled by malice to make the charges. Heath was directed to file a written report on the matter. The Point Lobos Improvement Club pe- titioned that the sidewalks be made of | vniform width on Fulton street. The peti- | tion was taken under advisement.
