(Special Correspondence.) The three men taken in Monday morning on suspicion of having picked pockets here on Sunday, were searched In vain for any Incriminating articles, and nothing found upon them to warrant holding them upon that charge. They were, therefore, booked tor vagrancy and Judge Ba rack man gave them fifteen days each in the County Jail. They answered to the names of James Talbot, W. F. Knowles and F.

Casey. The Los Angeles officers think they are sure-enough pick-pockets and general all-round sure-thing fakers. Robert Chisholm, familiarly known here as "Nigger Bob," is under arrest, charged with petty larceny by William Downs. He was arraigned before Justice Barackman this morning and held for hearing in $100 bonds. The security was furnished by William Phillips and T.

H. Sampson, and the man will be tried before Justice Wells. The will of the late Albert Tribolet has been admitted to probate, and the woman In the case becomes executrix of the estate, which she already held to a large extent by assignment. Investigation shows that tbe murdered man was one of numerous family, no less than seven brothers and one sister having been located. The woman Lily at Bakerafield claimed at the time of his death to be his widow and demanded his personal effects of the Coroner, but on learning that a brother was en route to take matters in hand she disappeared and made no effort to produce proofs of marriage with the dead man.

It is not probable that he was ever married. Tbe report now is that the new Southern Pacific time-card will go into effect on Thursday, the date of discontinuance ol the "Sunset Limited." As understood the chief changes to be made as affecting this place will be to start the first train toward Los Angeles at 7:20 instead of 7:30, and the next at 8:15 instead of 8. Neither train will go by tbe home, that doty falling to the lot ol the noon train, which will leave here fifteeen minutes earlier in order to arrive in Los Angeles at tbe aims time as now. The other changes, it is understood, will be immaterial. James Orr, landlord of the St.

James, has the foundations la and lumber oo the ground for the new hotel he is to erect on Ocean avenue, nearly opposite the Arcadia. The building wfll be ready for occupancy prior to tbe termination of Mr. Orr'a leaso of the St. James, which expires in the fall. Tbe Southern Pacific proposes two theater trains next week, on Wednesday and Saturday evenings.

There is some dissatisfaction with this arrangement as insufficient, and possibly a third train will yet be added. Tbe price of 70 cents still bclds, and if not changed may render additional train service less necessary. This place ought to have a 50-eent rate to the fiesta. Hedqmrter fat Masks.

Be-in assured that Mrs. Jones bore it upon her head, the Recorder looked at it critically, and declared it a pretty bonnet, and one for which Jones should have been thanked Instead ol battered. It was a black bonnet, with red roses, and a glittering, sham sclmctar oo one side.

The Judge's taste was sound on the matter of Its (beauty, and the compliment to the headgear was taken In good part by Mrs. Jones. The Judge assessed (Mr. Jones 35.45 costs, rather than fine Mrs. Jones, who was not put upon the stand at ill, and the reconciled husband and wife took their little ones i'4er their arms and went away together as they had come.

I have tried several remedies which are ad- -vertlsed as specially for tbe liver and could never get any relief. I was recommended to try a bottle of Joy's Sarsaparilla just as a test, and while taking the first bottle I became convinced of Its merits, for 1 could, feel it working a change in me.

8AN DIEGO, April 9. (Special Correspondence.) The Bhameful, false reports which have been published during the past montn or two evidently by selfish, prejudiced people, concerning the water of this city, are officially refuted by the City Physician, Dr. D. B. Northrhp.

In his official statement he says: "Although 1 can form a very good idea ot the quality of the water from dally use, I have made an especial examinaUon of it and applied chemical tests. The quality find to be very good. The water Is soft and pure and tree from any alkaline properties. The city is supplied with water conveyed by the flume from Cuyamaca Lake, where it is stored In the reservoir amid snow-clad peaks, which, like a refrigerator, kjepj the water cool and fresh. I am free to say that the city of San Diego is to be congratulated on the excellence ot its present water supply, which helps to make it the healthiest city on the lace of the globe." The U.

S. S. Monterey is expected sail on Thursday for Callao, Peru. 6h is coaling today. On Monday she was visited by hundreds of sightseers.

Senator Stephen B. Elkins, Chariea Nordhoff and party were entertained by Capt. Francis J. Hlg-glnson prior to the departure ot the Senator, Today the offloars of the San Diego Barracks, including the commandant, MaJ. t.

M. K. Smith, Capt. Frank de Carrlng-ton. Lieut.

Amos H. Martin, Lieut. Bert and MaJ. Burton of the barracks hospital, pay an official visit to the officers of the big warship. On Wednesday evening a grand ball will be given at Hotel del Coronado In honor of the Monterey's officers.

This will be their farewell ball in the United States for many months to come. THE LEMON FAIR. The Chamber of Commerce was ablaze with yellow Inside and out last night in honor of the opening of the first lemon fair ever held in the world. Outside of the exhibition building lantern and electric lights and lemon decorations gave Fourth street a festive appearance. The City Guard Band and Brwkh's Orchestra filled the fair, rooms w.ch delightful music, as the crowds of sightseers surged to and fro.

There were lemons everywhere, to the right, left, In front ajid behind and above the beads of the' visitors. There were lemons in the very atmosphere. It was a sight to make the heart of the oldest grower from Sicily beat with envy. For in this San Diego exhibit were lemons such as Spain or Slcliy never could produce. In the exhibit were great pyramids of lemons, horns of plenty mad out of lemons, hearts other designs.

The ihart design in lemons seemed particularly appropriate, because the hearts of San Diego people are set upon the lemon Industry as the occupation which promises the greatest returns from their hundreds of thousands of frostles3 acres ad-Joining San Diego Bay, which are so ad mirably adapted for the perfect growing of this fruit. In the fair just opened are seventeen classes ot lemons from the several districts of this county. Nearly every considerable lemon rancher in the county is represented and this fact makes the exhibition of increased value to visitors from outside of the county who desire to get an accurate Understanding as to what this county is capable of producing In the lemon line. THE NEW RAILROAD SCHEME. Thomas Taylor, who is endeavoring to interest Sam Diegans In a railroad from his rich coal and iron fields in Southern Utah to the harbor of San Dlcgo, is a Mormon 'bishop.

He has made a lavorable Impression upon. the leading business men here. On Monday the committee, consisting of U. S. Grant, A.

E. Nutt, Dr. R. M. Powers, Heber Ingle and Watson Parriah, (held two meetings with Bishop Taylor.

His credentials were investigated closely, and details as to the organization of plane by the people here im co-operation with the bishop were discussed at length. After the meetings, Chairman Nutt of the committee, eaid that everything was found by the committee to be as represented by Bishop Taylor. The committee considers the proposition a good one for this city. Bishop Taylor says that his inclination is to bring this road to San Diego because of the harbor and otber natural advantages here. Concerning the route of the proposed road.

Bishop Taylor ays: "We propose to build from Cedar City, Utah, 250 miles south of Salt Lake, southward along the Virgin River to its Junction wfth the Colorado River, down the western bank of the Colorado River to Yuma, and thence west to San Diego. This route is estimated at 550 miles. From Cedar City to San Diego In an air line is about four hundred miles. The bishop has been over the route between Cedar City and Los Angeles four times, and before putting engineers in the field he proposes to go over the route a fifth time. He claims to have assurances from tbe Denver and Rio Grande Railway Company that it will build to Cedar City to meet a new road to the Coast, and he is positive that Salt Lake City people would build a line to Cedar City to connect with the road.

When the committee of San Diego citizens appointed to Investigate Bishop Taylor's plans shall report in detail and offer convincing evidence that tbe scheme is worthy of support, doubtless hearty and prompt action may be taken by this city la support of the proposition. It appears that the book "Trilby" causes some San Diego "goody-goodies" to criticise the trustees ot the free library. These "goody-goodies" think that the book is improper. They say so In print, and attempt to cast reflections upon the library trustees. Every one in San Diego has a high regard for every trustee and official connected wfth the free library.

The mind that criticises the San Diego library trustees (or passiog a book which is generally accepted by tbe refined minds of the world, is either an intensely ignorant mini or else it is a mind afflicted with such an abnormally superlative sense of morality to be too intense lor comprehension by the average mind.

B. FrWh, 202. The result of the election was ao overwhelmingly for open Sundays it Is 'looked upon as a rei'ouke to the churches not to meddle In politic. The organization of the Mercantile and its work In preparing for the electlc-n, -was undoubtedly the most thor ough ever done this city. It was knom to thcsi Just how every man would vote and they were distributed around where 'they would do the most gcbd in working to get out a complete vote.

As a sample. in the Second WaTd they had 210 voters on the list, and at 2 O'otock they had 205 of them voted and the workers went out and brought In the other five to make sure of them. The first work of the new Board Of Trustees aJter organisation will be to re peal all Sunday-olosing laws, Including all tne mcrchantB, oarbers, butchers, cigar ebands, and restore affairs te the rta tus they were before the barbers, butch' era, merchants, suked for a closing ordinance lor each branch.

Thsy now propoee to put in a plant for $5000 that will light an tbelr streets with arc lights and permit 1000 incandescent lights for stores and residences. They have in con-saltation with them two experts who. are figuring to put in the plant. If they can secure cheap motive power their dreams will he realized in having cheap lights. RIVAL TEAMS.

There is considerable rivalry between the members of Co. of this city, and Co. of Redlands of the Ninth Infantry, National Guard of California, and on Sunday the crack team of each company met at the shooting grounds of Co. to try conclusions for the third time. As at both the former trials victory bad perched on the Redlands banner, (here was con siderable local excitement as to tbe out come of the third meeting.

As before the Redlands boys were too quick of eye and too steady of nerve for our boys and again bore off the honors with the fol lowing score: Co. San Bernardino--Sergt. Seaman, 36; Corp.

There is a road up tbe mountains leading to Squ'rrel Inn, a famous mountain resort, snd aUo to the reservoirs that the Arrowhead Company is building, and this road is a bone of contention between the company and the settlers.

The latter have at times torn down tbe sates and once burned the tollhouse and nearly tbe toll-taker and his family. There is a petition, signed sixty settlers, before the Board of Supervisors for lowering tbg tolls and placing the (list bill-gate four miles up the mountain. This would throw open free the nv.re WMrnian Cat-yen, which is used as a picnls anl camping-ground in the summer time, and the toll to which is one of tbe shl-sf resources of the toll company. They cUu'ai the whole road costs much more than tbe receipts at present rates and oppws strongly any reduction in rates or cutting off tb-ir main source ot revenue from the campers. The matter rants up before tbe Board of Supervisors yesterlay morning, but was postponed unti1 Tuesday, April 13, when witnesses on both rides will bo subpoenaed and the whole be investigated.

Anaheim's Coming Celebration Oar-ret Southern not Guilty Real Estate- MoYements A Bis Eish Catch, SANTA" ANA. April Correspondence.) The city election baa come and gone and the DeiriJeraU, as UBUal, have demonstrated the fact that they are enough better manipulators of the wire political than their brethren ot the Republican party. It was agreed several months ago between the Democrats and Republlokns that no political lines Should be drawn in the municipal election; that all the candidates should come out on a hon partisan basis, and that their merits should be considered independent ot their pollt leal affiliations. The preparatory work ot the election moved merrily along previou to the date when ths right ot suffrage was to be exercised, end, a citizenship league was organised with leading Republicans and a lew Democrats at its head, with the apparent purpose ot assisting the best men, without regard to their political preferences, Into the various municipal offices. The unsuspecting Re-publicans--appareatly a guilable set ot fellows in Santa Ana were rejoicing in the belief that the political cross in the city had been buried and that, at least in this election, they would not indulge in any means whatever of furthering political Interests of any sortv but would exercise their "great American privilege" on the broad and manly grounds of true merit.

Such, a conclusion on. the part of the Republican brethren was undoubtedly kind and considerate, at least for the for it made it possible for them to resort to their old tactics, that of Voting for the best man when that man was a Democrat With this usual reservation, the "great unwashed" yesterday, in the face of a Republican majority, in the city of over one hundred and fifty, elected three out of five ot the City Trustees, the City Treasurer and City-Clerk the live most important offices in the city. It was not until after the polls had been opened some time that It was discovered that the Democrats were drawing political lines, while they industriously plastered the Republicans with an. unstinted coating of whitewash. Smart Democrats fool Rapub.

ncans. A GREAT SCHEME. In the CUty Council meeting tonight a scheme was unearthed by which the city water works has been systematically robbed ot a largo amount of waiter for the past two or more years. The city toa'3 two water systems, the Spurgeon and the system owned and operated by the city. A lew days ago when Fourth street was being plowed up and the water pipes of the Spurgeon system -torm up by ehe big plow, the cause of the leakage was discovered.

The water had been flowing from the city water works onto and through the Spur geon system, therefore supplying, by means ol taps, that system's customers the same as others with water. W. H. Spurgeon, the owner of the Spur geon system, leased It several years ago to C. C.

Drake, since which time he (Spur- geon) has had nothing whatever to do with it. As far as can be learned tonight the matter reflects strongly on C. Drake end Charles Ward, former Street Superin tendent. The City Trustees appointed a committee of investigation tonight, to report as soon as possible, when an action will, no be brought against the guilty parties, whoever they are. Same rich developments in the case are expected, as from present Indications the method ot steal ng water has been very systematic, and has been carried on lor over two years.

The boys looked natty and handsome when they were ready tor the start, the red, white, blue and orange sweaters 'and trunks, making a brilliant contrast to their bare polished limbs, their eager laces alert and excited. There was a difference, though, when those same natty, dapper young men came back about an hour later; their laces pallid, and covered with dust, their straining muscles grimy wittt the race, their performing their duty. Forty-five men lined up lor the start at 9 o'clock. F. Savage was the first to start, having an eleven-m nute handicap.

A minute after him five others with nine minutes handicap set -out, toi-lowsd by three men with an eight-minute handicap, three with seven, and seven with six. Thirteen more handicaps, rangr ing down to four minutes, set off in their order, followed by nine more ranging down to one. Then the scratch men lined up, and a great shout went forth from the multitude. Represented among them were the crack riders of the various clubs In Southern California, men famous for their achievement in other contests. A finer-looking lot of fellows it would bo hard to find, and they had scarcely started before all that could be seen ol them was a gray streak ol dust away off to the east, with glints ol bright color visible as a light wind lilted the cloud.

It was only a lew minutes before they were all out of sight, but it seemed a long time to the waiting crowd; then oil against the horizon was seen again the gray cloud and in its midst a swift-moving speck of color, growing larger and larger until it took a Bhape of moving legs and arms akimbo, and then all of the yelling done before by the crowd but teeble compared to what they could do It they liked.

In the Recorder's court this atternoon, Luther G. Brown, principal ot the Washington school, was examined upon the charge ot battery preferred by Otis Fisher, but the case was dismissed by Recorder Rossiter, who ruled that the facts were not such as warranted his being held. The evidence showed conclusively that the boy, Otis Fisher, was disturbing the pupils of Washington school by whistling near the windows, and Mr.

Brown merely took hold of his arm, thinking at the time he was a pupil, and warned him to desist, and when he found that Fisher was not a pupil of the school, told him that a repetition ol the offense would result In his arrest. The story told by the lad was the same is that related by Mr. Brown, and the perianal anion of young Fisher's father was shown at the conclusion of the trial, when he vented his anger upon Mr. Brown, and threatened him with dire results if he "did not let my boy Mr. Brown showed admirable ell-control and dignity, and it Is certain that, had the boy been on trial tor disturbing the peace, he would cot have gotten oft without a fine.

Recorder Rossiter so admonished him, and leaned the authority ol teachers over pupils, as laid down by the State. MRS. JONES'S BOeCNETT. The Easter-bonnet case appeared In this afternoon, Mr. and Mrs.
