THEY WERE SNUBBED.
THE COLORED VOTERS THREATEN
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
The Markham Reception Committee Had
No Negro Representative—Negro
Speakers' Names Erased from
the Program—A Kick.
The colored troops have fought nobly
in the Republican ranks, but they are
anxious to get out of the file and put on
shoulder straps. They are angry at the
management of the Markham campaign.
The}', like some other people, were
snubbed at the pavilion on Saturday
night, and they are about to raise a row.
Last night, at the rooms of the Union
Colored Republican club in Downey
block, there was held a meeting of rep
resentatives of the four colored Repub
lican clubs of the county, the Union,
Pasadena, Los Angeles and Central. T.
J. Jeames of Pasadena presided.
Mr. Soares said: "This is the first
note of independence; unless we are
independent we can never be successful.
For twenty years I have supported the
Republican ticket in California, and the
party has been wonderfully successful,
but the negro has been hardly ever
recognized by it. But when the
Democrats are in power, they in a
measure always recognize the negro.
In San Francisco the Democrats
always gave positions of trust to the
negro. In Los Angeles here there is a
gentleman from Milwaukee who, after
only 14 months residence organized an
independent Republican club. He
fought the city administration through
out and what is the result? Tomorrow
morning he lays down his shovel and
takes a place in city clerk Teed's office
at the dictation of the president of the
council. The time has come when we
must show the Republican party that
we are independent. They give us a few
places as janitorsor may be policemen,
and when we ask anything say, " well
do you want the earth ? " lam in favor
after their county convention of holding
our own convention and nominating our
own ticket and voting for it to a man,
and thus show the Republicans that we
amount to something:
Mr. Slay ton said: "At the Markham
reception on Saturday night there was
no colored man on any of the commit
tees, and I thought that bad enough.
There were two colored men there to
speak, but their names were erased. I
was introduced to the mayor, and I told
him that if we were not good enough to
be represented on the reception commit
tee, we are not good enough to vote for
your candidates. A leading representa
tive of the press said to me, 'If we appoint
one of you fellows on a committee the
others all kick ; so, it, we let them
all go! 'What we want to do is to sliow
the managers oi Markham's campaign
that we expect to be respectfully treated.
It made my blood boil to see" that no
negroes were to be found on committees
where every other race in Los Angeles
had a representative
_ Mr. B. F. Talbott thought that it was
time to stop giving the Republicans
everything and getting nothing. He.
moved that a committee of three from
each club be appointed to adopt a plan
of operation during the campaign, and
to present their plan to a mass meeting
to be called. He closed with saying, "Let
us unite andjif necessary vote Democratic
ticket to a man unless we are assured
of proper recognition."
Mr. Soares wanted a set of resolutions
presented by Mr. Minor adopted. These
Beverely scored the Republicans, and
pledged the colored vote to "such candi
dates as will secure our just rights."
The resolutions were finally passed into
the hands of the committee to be
reported on at the mass meeting. The
committee is made up of the following :
Central club, A. J. Bailey, Wm. Samp
son, G. W. Hawkins, Jacob Soares,
Union Republican club, Geo. Wrenn.
J. C. C. Jackson, George Washington,
.B. F. Talbott. Pasadena club, J. T. J.
.Teams, Joseph Bunch, W. 11. Straughta,
11. Boone. Los Angeles club committee
to be appointed.
MUST THE SCHOOLS CLOSE?
The Board of Education and the Re
duced Allowance.
The board of education met in special
session last night, president A. E. Pome
roy, in the chair. The new member,
Dr. R. W. Morris, having been intro
duced by the chairman to the members
of the board, took iiis seat as the suc
cessor of Mr. J. E, Cox, for the lirst
time.
The report of the finance committee
was taken up and demands amounting
in the aggregate to $9141.09 were ap
proved in accordance with its recom
mendations, Mr. Whaling alone voting
negatively.
A communication was received from
the Crown Hills improvement society
asking the board, in view of the pros
pective change in the names of several
of the streets, that the Collado street
school be named Crown Hills school,
and the Beaudry street school be named
the Fremont school. Referred to the
building committee.
A number of applications for positions
as janitors hi the public schools of the
city were received and referred to the
janitors' committee.
In accordance with the recomendation
of the building committee extra contracts
with the contractors for the East Side
and San Pedro street schools were ap
proved, Mr. Whaling aione voting neg
atively. These were for extra steps
rendered nescessary on account of the
difference of thejgrades from that shown
on the original plans.
Gov. Gosper stated in reply to an in
quiry from Mr. Powers relative to the
Breed street school, that the building
committee had just learned that the
council had reduced the board's allow
ance by $20,000, and in view oi that fact
the building committee was unable to
recommend conscientiously that any fur
ther improvements be undertaken for
the present. Mr. Ellis then offered the
following resolutions:
Whereas, The common council of the city of
Los Angeles has so far reduced the tax rate of
17 cents per $100, asked for by this board, as'to
make it impossible to keep the public schools

of this city open for more than eight months
the ensuing year.
Rrnolved, That we deplore the necessity of
thus closing the public schools by ihe council
as a public calamity.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed by
the president to confer with the council aud
city attorney as to the legality of this resolu
tion.
In support of this resolution Mr. Ellis
stated that befoie the meeting of the
board he had been informed by the
president of the council in the office of
the city clerk, that the council had made
a considerable reduction from the
amount asked by the board. In response
to his query as to the cause for this re
duction he had received the startling
reply that the salaries of the teachers
must be reduced.
They had been reduced all around,
and were very much lower in most in
stances than the salaries paid in other
cities in the state. The fact that the
schools would not open until October
lirst instead of in September next, alone
meant a saving to the city of about
$15,000, and the salaries of "many of the
teachers had been reduced this year, as
compared with last year.
Mr. Gosper, in seconding the motion
to adopt the resolutions, heartily con
curred in Mr. Dllis' remarks. The
resolution having been adopted unani
mously, the chairman appointed Messrs.
Ellis, Gosper, and Woodbury as a com
mittee to confer with the city attorney.
The board then adjourned.
RIGHT OR LEFT BOWER.
The San Diego Men Off for the Fresno
Convention.
Senator Bowers of San Diego and most
of the San Diego delegation left last even
ing for Fresno. It is hard to tell wheth
er the Senator is the right or left bower,
but he went off as smiling and confident
as if he had got there by acclamation.
A Los Angeles dalegatesaid to a Hbb
ai.d man "We will keep our bargain and
turn over 24 votes to Bowers, and 13 to
Rowell of Fresno on the first ballot;
then if they neither get a nomination,
why, there will be a split and a new or
der of things, probably resulting in Mr.
Lindley's nomination."
A San Diego man was then seen, and
he said, "They say they will give Bowers
twenty-four votes, do they? Well,
that's kind, I must say. Do you know
the Markham men traded our delega
tion solid at Sacramento eleven times?
We just let them do as they wanted
with us, on the understanding that
they were to stand in on Bowers. Do
you think our people will stand that, or
consider twenty-four votes a return for
it? Not much, sir."
"What will you do if Eowars don't get
the nomination?"
"Well, I don't like to say what will be
done. But I can tell you that the voters
down there will resent it in earnest if he
gets left. There is a very strong feeling
about it. We have been rolling up a
Republican majority every election, and
have never got anything in" return. Now
we ask for something and if we don't get
it, I don't think that majority will be
rolled up this time. Seel"
The Fresno convention will consist of
187 members, requiring 94 votes to effect
a nomination.
THE CORONER BUSY.
Inquests Held Yesterday on Two Un
fortunates.
Coroner Weldon held two inquests
yesterday, the first being upon the body
of Michael Cramer, the boiler maker,
who died on the train near Pasadena on
Sunday afternoon,from injuries received
in the collision and explosion on the
Atlantic and Pacific road near the
Needles on Saturday morning last, wdiile
en route to this city for medical treat
ment. The facts elicited from the testi
mony taken before the jury of inquisi
tion were simply a reiteration of those
already published in the Herald, and
the jury returned a verdict in accord
ance therewith.
The second inquest was held in the
afternoon, on the body of an Italian
miner, named Succio Stefano. 24 years
of age, who died at the Roma "hotel
on North Alameda street early yesterday
morning! from natural causes. On
Wednesday last, Stefano arrived in
this city from Bixby, Arizona, and took
a room at the Roma hotel. Shortly
after his arrival he was taken sick
with typhoid fever and Dr. Nadeau
was |summoned to attend him. He
appeared to be in a fair way to recover
on Sunday night, and his landlord,
Ferdniado Bessolo, at his request made
him a cucumber salad, of which he ate
heartily, about ten o'clock. He was
left alone for the night apparently much
better for the meal, but,at five "o'clock
yesterday morning when his landlord
called to attend to his requirements, he
was horrified to find that his guest was
dead. The jury returned a verdict of
deatli from natural causes.

A THOROUGHBRED RASCAL.
The Remarkable Criminal Career of J.
B. Stock.
A leading firm of solicitors received a
letter from their correspondent at Wat
ertown, New York, which contains the
latest chapter in the history of a refugee
from American justice named J. B.
Stock, who was wanted in Philadelphia
and New York for forgery when
he arrived here eight days ago, says
a special to the St. Louis Republic from
Montreal, dated August 12th. Here he
beat a widow who had taken him into
partnership out of $18,000, and with it
started a stock, oil and grease company.
Stock lived in Cote St. Louis, a suburb
of Montreal, where he became a pillar
of the Methodist church and president
of the Koyal Templars of Temperance.
At this time he had living here three
wives, one at Cote St. Louis, with two
children; one tt St. Albeit and one at
Suttermont, with one child. All these
places are suburbs of Montreal, and how
he kept the three women apart is hard
to explain. The grease company did
not pay, and he Hed after committing
the forgery, taking with him the money
he had collected to purchase an organ
for his church. Detectives looked
in vain for him, but the letter
in question states that he went to
Ogdensburg, where he failed to form a
partnership with Mr. Shelton, and
thence to Water town. There he went
into business with Mr. Wood, but in the
absence of his partner he induced his
wife to turn all her property into cash,
and the two eloped together, leaving
their families. They went to Chicago,
where they bought tickets for San Fran
cisco, but "further than that their move
ments have not been traced.
AMUSEMENTS.
"The Prince and the Pauper" at the
Grand.
Elsie Leslie's success since her debut
is well known. After being with Joseph
Jefferson for some time, she was the
colleague of E. H. Sothem in the pro
duction of "Editha's Burglar." She was
next seen in "Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
creating the character. Then she began
to study for "The Prince and the Pau
per," with what successful results the
newspapers have chronicled. Elsie is
now one of the best paid actresses in the
world, and is no longer regarded as a
prodigy, but an artist in her line. She
is but eleven years old and was born in
Montclair, New Jersey. Her sweetness
and amiability off as well as on the
stage have gained for her hosts of
friends, and it seems as if there never
was a little girl whose prospects were so ;
bright. When away from the footlights
she is just like any other child. Her
tastes are similiar, unless it be she likes
to read more than do most young people.

Many Mechanical Aids'.
With the development of the boot and
shoe industry there has been a correspond
ing increase in mechanical aids to the shoe
maker who works on the bench, the manu
facturer who employs hundreds of hands,
and the shoe repairer. Of machinery, tools
and supplies for those who turn out foot
gear there are now no less than 188 articles,
all regularly listed and catalogued. Some
of these 188 articles are made in almost
endless varieties. There are, for instance,
twenty-three kinds of shoe knives, over
twenty varieties of button fasteners, lasts
and jacks without end, hundreds of minor
machines duly protected by patents,
twenty-eight threading machines, while of
peg, shank, box, fudge, stitch, cord and
bottom wdieels there is a bewildering vari
ety.—Lewiston Journal.
A Smart Though Wicked Boy.
Battle Creek, Mich., has a smart boy.
The muzzling by law is now in force and
one of the principal citizens had to go to
the pound three times in one week to get
the dog out. He wondered how it was, as
his canine but rarely left the house. The
pound keeper told him that the same boy
brought the dog each time and received
his fifty cents. The citizen watched and
caught his own son doing the dog catching
act. As it cost the parent one dollar each
time and the hoy only got fifty cents the
father strapped the son and then compro
mised by hiring him to let the dog alone.—

GREAT EXCITEMENT
REDLANDS,
21,000 ACRES
CHOICE ORANGE LAND
In the immediate vicinity of
Redlands and Riverside
The choicest Orange and Raisin Grape Land
in the world.
This immense tract, some thirteen miles in length by
three and four in width, known as the Mahe & Bourne
tracts, an elegant valley lying between Redlands and River
side, about equal distance from each, was placed upon the
market last week and nearly
7000 ACRES ARE ALREADY SOLD,
and largely to old residents of Redlands and Riverside, who
thoroughly know the land and its capabilities, who know
what Redlands was six or seven years ago and what it is to
day; they require no prophet to foretell the future of this
Alessandro tract, "and which is pronounced by experts to
be fully equal in every respect to the lands of Redlands,
Riverside and old San Bernardino," and with a sure and
never failing supply of water from the FAMOUS BEAR
VALLEY RESERVOIR, which will be piped to each ten
acre tract plot. The price for another very limited quant
ity will be placed at
$75 PER ACRE,
which will include the right to water on the basis of one
inch to four acres, and the yearly rental will be Ten
Dollars per acre; on all unimproved land there will be a
charge by the Water Company after the owner has been
officially notified that water is ready for delivery, of one
dollar per acre the first year, two and one-half dollars the
second year and three and one-half dollars the third and fol
lowing years; if still unirrigated, it is confidentally expected
that water will be on the tract and ready to deliver to
the owners of the land March 1, 1891. Three dollars per
acre will be payable on application for option, 25 per cent
will be payable on selection of the land, the option being
taken as part payment, and contract given. The next 25
per cent will be payable when water is ready for delivery.
The balance in annual payments from that date, with inter
est at 8 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. Op
tions will be registeted in the order in which they are re
ceived at the office of the company. Selection of land to be
made October 15, 1890. Full particulars may be obtained
