DETECTIVES AND TAXES. A SAN FRANCISCO WIDOW AND HER LOS ANGELES LOT. Sho Makes Serious Allegations Against Two Well-Known Private Detectives. A Story Which Comes from the North. "Mrs. C. Rappold, a widow living at 721 Filbert street, applied at police court two for a warrant yesterday," saya tbe San Francisco Chronicle, "and told a sad tale. She said that two and a half months ago she went to Theodore C. Metzler, a private detective, to have him pay the taxes on a lot in Los Angeles, which she values at $500. The woman says she offered to give Metzler the amount necessary to pay the taxes, but he declined to take it. He said he wanted tbe deeds, which he would send to his partner in Los Angeles, Emile Harris, also a private detective, who would find out the amount of the taxes first. Mrs. Rappold returned next day and gave Met/.ler the deeds, which he said would be returned in a few days. "The days grew into weeks and the weeks into months, and every time the woman pleaded for the return of her deeds Met/.ler assured her that it would be all right; that his partner was in possession of them. Mrs. Rappold be came alarmed at the delay and wrote to the treasurer of Los Angeles to find out the amount of her taxes, and to her sur prise she received a reply stating that Emil Harris had paid the taxes and had the amount credited to his name. "Tbe woman claims that Harris and Metzlcr are endeavoring to defraud her of her property. She has a daughter 18 years old and a son 17 years old. Her husband, who died twelve years ago. was a resident of Los Angeles, where he owned considerable property, but it was gradually sold by bis widow, until noth ing remains today but the lot which Mrs. Rappold maintains has been taken possession of by Private Detectives Metzler and Harris. "As the courts had adjourned, Mrs. Rappold could not get a warrant, but will nrobably do so today." Mr. Harris could not be found last night, as the Herald desired to give his side of the story. Mr. Harris was at one time captain of police in this city, anil hi* reputation is such as to make it probable that Mrs. Rappold has been misled in her charges. PUBLIC WORKS. The Recommendations for the Atten tion of the Council. At the regular weekly meeting of the board of public works, held yesterday morning, the following report was' adopted for] presentation to the coun cil on Monday next: , Recommend that an extension of fif teen days' time be granted to J. P. Jones in which to complete the grading of Bonnie Brae street from Ocean View avenue to Arnold street. Recommend that an extension of fif teen days' time be granted to J. C. Ivina in which to complete the side walking of Pearl street from Seventh to Tenth streets. Recommend that the city engineer be instructed to prepare plans nnd specifi cations for wooden sidewalks, and pre sent an ordinance of intention to lay them on the east side of Gates street from Downey avenue to Hawkins street. The board suggests that Mr. Van Du sen's motion to this elf'ect calls for a new departure in the matter of side walks, but while it is a fact that wooden sidewalks were done away with in the city some years ago, it recognizes the fact that they might be admissable in the outlying districts for the purpose of approaching school buildings, etc. Recommend that the petition of Mrs. C. H. Scarborough, owner of lots 12and 13 in tbe McLaughlin tract, complaining tbat a strip of land was taken from her lot on Hope street, be referred to the city engineer for investigation and report. Also that no deeds be granted to the parties oi the opposite side of the street until the street lines are definitely settled. Recommend that the petition of E. Bouton etal., asking that Yale street he made a uniform width of sixty feet be tween College and Bernard streets, be granted, and the city engineer be in structed to locate the lines in accordance therewith. Recommend that the petition of G. Kerckhoffet al., asking to have Sixth street graded, graveled and curbed, be tween Main and San Pedro streets, be denied, but tbat the property owners be allowed to pave said street instead. Recommend that the petition of W. Rouimell et al., asking to have a street graded, be returned to petitioner for correction. Recommend that the street superin tendent be directed to change the name on the sign at the corner of St. Louis and Breed streets, from Breed to Bird street; also that the petition of P. E. Cross, asking that the name of Breed street, from St. Louis street easterly, be changed to Bird street, be held by tbe board until .another ordinance changing the names of streets is passed. Recommend, that an extension of thirty days' time be granted to W. R. on his contract to complete the grading of Breed street. Recommend that the petition of S. H. Osborn et al., asking to have the curb of Eleventh street removed and gutters isade where Denver street has been cut through, be granted, and the street superintendent instructed to do said work. Recommend that the petition of K. H. Hutchinson, asking to have the grade of Toluca street established, be referred to the city engineer to present an ordi nance of intention ; also that some action be taken in reference to the petition of M. T. C. (ireenbaum. Recommend that the petition of W. Cannon, asking to have Union avenue, between First and Temple streets, side walked with cement, six feet wide, be granted, and the city engineer instructed to draft the necessary ordinance of in tention. Recommend that the protest of James Pedgrift et al., against the location of Hope street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, be referred to the city engineer for investigation. Recommend that the Depot Railway company be ordered to pave between their tracks and for two feet on each side thereof, as per franchise. Recommend tbat the street superin tendent be instructed to repair with gravel the sidewalk on Alameda street, irom Naud's warehouse to San Fernando street, and replace the redwood curb where same has been destroyed. Recommend that crosswalks be laid as follows: Across Hancock street on south line of Downey avenue; across Truman street on south line of Downey avenue; across Chestnut street on south line of THE LOS ANGELES HEBALD: SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1890. Downey avenue; across Walnut street on south line of Downey avenue; across Hayes street on south line of Downey avenue; across Water street on south line of Downey avenue; across Downey avenue on west line of Truman street; across Downey avenue on west line of Daly street; across Pasadena avenue on south line of Grandin street; across Downey avenue on east line of Chestnut street; across Amelia street at west line of Lazard street; across Ducoinnmn street at west line of Amelia street; across Roekwood, Pink, Council and Court streets on both sides of Belmont avenue; across Seventh and ftighth streets at east side of Pearl street; across Adams street at east line of Main street; across Twenty-ninth street at east line of Main street, and across Main street at south line of Twenty-eighth street. THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE. A Worthy Enterprise Which Merits Attention. A HEBALD reporter yesterday in spected the exchange at the Woman's home on Fourth street. This -depart ment is in charge of Mrs. Josslyn, a very capable person. The display of pretty and quaint novelties is some thing remarkable. A lint- of Indian goods has been added and ladies who have not seen the exhibition will be surprised at the variety and number of artistic bric-a-brac to be found in the show cases. These are consigned by ladies in needy circumstances. The money obtained for them is turned over to the consignee, less the per cent, which is used to maintain the home. Parties desiring Christinas and New Years presents should visit the ex change. Visitors from the east will find many dainty souvenirs of Southern California to take back home. The ex change is a little too far from the main travel, otherwise many of the artistic things to be seen there would find a ready sale. NEW SUITS. Complaints Which Were Yesterday Put on Record. Y. L. Elliott yesterday commenced suit against the Los Angeles Gas com pany to recover $3342.28. Elliott claims that the gas company contracted for his services as superintendent at the rate of $3000 the first year and $3300 the second year, and that the company has violated the contract. Winifred R. Hunt, widow of the late Samuel 15. Hunt, applied yesterday to have N. G. Cochran appointed adminis trator of the estate of her late husband. Tho property is valued at something under $170,000. Nelson Stoddard wants $10,000 dam ages from the Pacific Railway company, the result of one of the cars striking his buggy and throwing the complainant to the ground, thus injuring his spine. Prank Errist filed a complaint yester day with the county clerk, praying judgment against A. R. Walters on a note for $320. WILLIAM'S WAD. He Goes to New York and Returns With It. William Wolfe is a printer boy who has mainly grown up in this city. About a year ago he decided to pay a visit to the east and see the sights. Al though Willie has not yet reached the age when that able instrument, the con stitution of the United States, says he knows .enough to vote, he still knows a thing or two, and when he reached New York and looked around a little he came to the conclusion that he could teach the Gothamites something. Willie will not tell just how he did it, but somehow he managed a little speculation so that the New Yorkers parted with a wad of $1,800 before they got through with him. He is in Los Angeles once more and shows his admiring friends a roll of greenbacks that would have looked quite consoling even in boom days. THE GOVERNOR'S BALL. It Will Be Held on January 9th .at Sacramento. The inaugural ball celebrating Gov ernor-elect Markham's installation will be held at the Capitol in Sacramento, on the evening of January 9th.

Tf we allow our bodily infirmities to make away with us through neglect, have we such an Immense moral advantage over the deliber ate suicide. Scarcely. For example, the deadly progress of Bright's disease, diabetes, acute nephltisand gravel is sure—often terribly swift in the catastrophe. Most people of average in formation know tha,t this Is the simple, unvar nished truth in regard to those widely prevalent maladies. To delay judicious medication is special y suicidal in such cases. The means of restraint is to be found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Give an impetus to the action of the kidneys with this safe and reliable diuretic, and the infant complaint is shorn at its birth of the power for evil. Allow it to grow, and antici pate the worst. The Bitters, which annihilates these growing troubles, also eradicates dyspep sia, rheumatism,malarial nnd liver complaints. Appetite, sleep and vigor are nlso promoted by it.

DAN EURNS VISITS GOVERNOR ELECT MARKHAM. His Visit Causes Some Pretty Close Guesses as to Who Will and Who Will Not Get Soma Fat Appointments. Mr. "Dan" Hums arrived from San Fiancisco yesterday and went at once to the residence of Governor-elect Mark ham, at Pasadena, where he now is. Governor Markham has not made any official statement regarding appoint ments, yet a Herald reporter, after having done considerable investigation, is able to do some guessing, which, in time, will be found to be about cor rect. In the first place a good guess would be that the name of Charles Dunsmoor, as bank commissioner, will be with drawn before, thp legislature meets, or if it is not the nomination will not be affirmed. The chances are that S. K. Thornton will capture that sinecure. Another guess about which there is hardly any doubt is that C. F. Bassett will, in March next, succeed W. D. English as harbor commissioner. Then there is the nice office of state printer, in connection with which the names of the editors of the Times and Express have been mentioned. It is not assumed that either of these two gentlemen have posed as candidates for it, but whether they liave ornot, neither of them will get it. As to who will be put, there the Hekald reporteHteould make a good guess, but it is a little too early yet to name the man. Mr. Burns will remain, probably, for several days with the goveinor. SHEWARD'S EXPLANATION. A Salesman Stuffs an Order, and the Result is a Suit. Henry W. King & Co. have brought suit against J. T. Sheward, claiming a balance due on a recent transaction of $311. The above notice in yesterday's Ex press gives an erroneous impression. The transaction occurred nearly two years ago. The house sent me over eight hundred dollars' worth of goods in excess of written instructions. As they did not have a lot of shirt waists, kilt suits and jersey suits to the amount of four hundred dollars 1 ordered, they sent in place of the above order over eight hundred dollars' worth of long pant suits, after I had instructed them not to send them, and wrote me stating what they had done,and gave the names of other houses that dealt in the class of goods I ordered. They stated if I could not use the long pant suits 1 could re turn them, which I did. They claim they afterwards sold the lot for !f()Oo,and are now attempting to collect the differ ence. As 1 have all the correspondence, I will have no trouble whatever in gain ing my ease. It is one of those cases that all merchants have to contend with, where an over-zealous employee stuffs an order to make his sales look large, and when the goods are returned the house makes a big kick. Fortunately, this time I have the salesman's letters. J. T. SIILWAItD. Low Prices Don't express it. We are selling Misses' button shoes for $1.23 andsl.so that are worth double the money. Lewis, 201 North Spring street. In Memoriam. Mrs. Sophia A. Keyes, the beloved and hon ored vice-president of the Woman's Christian Temperance uniouof Southern California, has gone from among us to her eternal home be yond. All who knew her, whether slightly or intimately, were inspired and strengthened by her wonderful faith, strong courage, sym pathy with every good work, and zealous de votion to the cause so uear her heart. We shall sec he face no more, nor hear from her dear lips the helpful words save in memory, but the "daily beauty of her life," now. that she has left us, will bring heaven closer to our hearts and lives. Looking at it from our narrow, human point of view, we can but poorly spare her, but "God knows best," and so we will try to show by this "discipline of pain" a deepened devotion to the work to which she was so wholly consecrated. To her relatives, especially to the aged mother and the daughter, who have been deprived of her loving care and tenderness, and who will miss her sweet p esence all through the long days, our hearts go out ill tender sympathy. Jesus, when on earth, w pt with his friends in their sorrow. We weep With these dear friends, but our sorrow and theirs is one spanned by the bow of eternal hope lit up with the light of immortality.
