GOING, GOING, GONE!
THE OLD COURT HOUSE SOLD AT
AUCTION.
It Brings One Hundred Thousand and
Five Hundred Dollars—The Oossip
About the Sale.
At noon yesterday the old Los Ange
les courthouse, situated on Spring, Main.
Court and Market streets, was sold at
public auction for the eminently satis
factory price of $100,500. The gentle
man who bid this figure was Silas Hol
man, formerly of Anaheim. A large
crowd assembled in front of the court
house at the appointed hour. A great
many old time Angelefios were noticed
in the throng. After reading the reso
lution, Auctioneer R. E. Blenncrhasset
called for bids. The first bid was
$85,000. It crept up gradually until Mr.
V. Biscailuz bid $90,000. The sale now
became interesting, and each succeed
ing bid was received with a
cheer. Slowly but surely the
amount moved up by the hundred until
"Chino" Phillips shouted out an even
$100,000. Silas Hoi man went him one
hundred better, and Mr. Phillips cried
"enough." The court house was event
ually knocked down to Mr. Holman for
$100,500. This amount was ten thous
and in excess of what the majority
thought would be realized. The super
visors expected to get $00,000, and, of
course, were agreeably surprised at the
figure realized.
It was the general opinion that the
syndicate in which Caspar (John, 11.
Newmark, Walter Maxwell, J. Mes
mer, Mark Jones, Chino Phillips, Dr.
Nadeau and vi. A. Biscailuz were inter
ested would secure the court house
building. These gentlemen own valua
ble property in the immediate vicinity
of the court house. They intended pur
chasing the property and then present
ing it to the government for a post
office. The above-mentioned property
owners viewed with alarm the rapidity
with which the business interests
of the city were extending in a
southerly direction. At a meeting they
concluded that it would be expedient to
purchase the court house for a postoffice.
This would enhance their property in
the immediate vicinity more than the
price necessary to purchase the court
house. The syndicate failed to connect,
$100,000 dollars apparently being their
limit.
Soon after the sale it was learned that
Silas Holman represented John A. Bill
iard, a capitalist from Boston. Mr. Bill
iard, accompanied by George 11. Bone
brake, called upon the supervisors, and
after settling some minor details, Mr.
Bullard handed Mr. Perry, the chairman
of the board of supervisors, a check on
the Los Angeles National bank for
$20,100, which was the necessary 20
per cent cash as required by the
te r ms of the sale. Mr. Bonebrake
informed the fcIBBALD representative
that Mr. Bullard was a millionaire
capitalist from Boston, and arrived here
a few months since. Mr. Bullard was a
visitor here, however, last winter, when
he invested over one hundred thousand
dollars in Los Angeles and vicinity.
It was reported on the street that the
purchase was made for the Southern
California railway, but the story is not
credited by those who are in a position
to know.
The Herald representative was in
formed on good authority that Mr. Bul
lard had given the syndicate a ninety
day option on the building at a figure
something like ten thousand dollars ad
vance on the purchase price.
Mr. Bonebrake did not know anything
about such an arrangement, when ques
tioned by the Herald reporter.
The court house was built in 1859, by ■
the late John Temple. It was origin
ally a market house. In July, 1871, it
became the property of Los Angeles
county at a cost of $30,000.
The dimensions of the court house lot
are as follows: On Spring and Main
streets, (15 feet; on Court street, 174; j
and 150 on Market street.
For the benefit of the readers of the :
HERALD who have never seen the court
house, it might be stated that the build- I
ing, which is almost worthless, cut no
figure in the price paid.
FROM THE WABASH.
General Manager Wade's Unique Christ
mas Gift.
General Manager Wade, of the South
ern California railway, was yesterday
the recipient of a magnificent gift from
his former associates and employees on
the Wabash railway. The remembrance
was in the form of a large album, con
taining the likenesses of more than 250
of his former co-laborers on that rail
way. The album is a very elaborate
affair, with padded sealskin binding
and handsomely engraved sterling silver
mountings. the engravings, which
were made in Vienna, recall many
pleasant and important events in Mr.
Wade's career of twenty-eight years on
that railway. One engraving presents a
fac-simile view of the old depot at
Delphi, Ind., where he commenced
work as an operator in 1857, and another
shows the first solid vestibuled train
run between Chicago and St. Louis.
Each page of the album holding six cab
inet photos, is tastefully decorated with
sketches of various articles and appli
ances of a railroad. Two handsome
Mexican onyx tables accompanied the
album.
Altogether it is oneof the most unique
presents ever made, and of which Mr.
Wade is justly proud.
CHESTERFIELDIANS.
The Second Party Given by the
Club.
The Chesterfield club gave their sec
ond monthly party at the Bellevue Ter
race last Tuesday evening. Arend's
orchestra furnished the music and danc
ing was kept up until a late hour; sup
per was served during an intermission
and the affair was pronounced one of the
most successful ever given by the club.
The following ladies and gentlemen at
tended : Mrs. S. J. Newton, Misses New
ton, Forrester, Tonner, Raw son, Smith,
Ilavcrman, Newell, Ballard, Pease, Kid
der. Kendall, Kurtz, Dora Bryant, Myra

A LARGE CROP.
The Orange Output to Exceed That of
Last Season.
General Manager H, K. Wade, of the
Southern California railroad, stated to a
Herald reporter yesterday that the
orange crop this year, he thought from
the information at his office, would be
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1890.
I larger than that of last season. Some
j few cars have been shipped already to
j supply the holiday demand, but the fruit
1 is not ripe enough yet to be palatable.
Inquiry at the fruit stands yesterday
j showed that oranges were very high.
I Good ones were quoted at seventy-live
I cents a dozen. The fruit dealers ascribe
) these high prices to the growers, who,
: they claim, prefer to ship their fruit, to
I taking a reasonable offer for it. One
! dealer told a reporter that often he would
I buy San Gabriel or Riverside oranges in
! San Francisco and land them in Los An
! geles cheaper than he could buy the
! fruit from the man who grew it.
THE DEFUNCT TRIBUNE.
Likelihood of a Large-Sized Row
Over the Remains.
The sale of the defunct Tribune was
again postponed for two weeks, yester
day. There is said to be dissensions
among the stockholders as to what
should be sold, though to the naked eye
of an outsider there seems to be very lit
tle to quarrel about.
It is stated that during the nino
months previous to its demise there was
put into the paper in all $21,000. Of
this it is presumable that $12,000
came from the coffers of his ex
cellency, Governor Waterman, in
exchange for "flooence," but where
did the other $9000 come from? Then
again, presuming this statement is cor
rect as to the total amount, where did it
all go to? That is something over $2220
a month, besides the receipts of the
paper from advertisements and circula
tion. Gen. H. 11. Boyce and Gov. Lio
nel H. Sheldon, who were formerly
stockholders, were in consultation yes
terday, and though refusing to make any
statement for publication, it was inti
mated to a Herald reporter that a con
siderable sized shindy might result from
the complications.
BANJO AND GUITAR.
The Recital Given at the Residence of
Senator Jones.
The Miramar Guitar and Banjo club
| gave a very pleasant musical recital at
| the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Senator
! Jones, at Santa Monica, on Monday
' evening.
| The members of the club are pupils of
Mr. C. S. De Lano, and consist of Misses
' Alice and Marion Jones, Bessie Gorhatn,
! Nealey Hamilton and Mr. W. E. Lester.
i They were ably assisted by some choice
vocal music by Mrs. H. M. Gotham.
, The programme was rendered in a most
excellent manner, all giving their're
spective parts in a manner showing
1 careful study and training. After the
programme, refreshments were served,
and all expressed themselves as being
well pleased with the evening's enter
tainment.
Aiming those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Senator Jones, Misses Florence and
j Georgina Jones, Mrs. M. A. Jones, Mr.
and Mrs. A. C. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs.
George B. Lester, Mr. and Mrs. H. M.
Got ham, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Gorhatn,
Mr. and Mrs. W. 11. Bray ton, Miss
Louise Willetts, Messrs. L.D.Brown,
J. A. Prhehard and vV. L. Corson.
FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
The Result of the Inquest on the Re-
mains of Mrs. Tapia.
Coroner Weldon held an inquest yes
terday upon the body of Mrs. Trinidad
Alvarez Tapia, a native of Sonora, Mex
ico, aged 50 years, who died on Friday
evening last from natural causes,
i As no physician had been called in to
| attend to the sick woman before her
! death, the health officer refused to grant
: a burial permit, and the coroner was
called upon to investigate the matter.
The woman's husband, Antonio Tapia,
j who is a vendor of tamales, testified that
: she had been ailing for over two years
i past, her sickness apparently dating
back to an accident which she met with j
;at that time. Neither she nor her hus
; band appeared to realize that she was in |
a dangerous condition, and in any event j
j the poor Mexican was unable to pay a
| physician for his services.
The jury, on learning these facts, re-
I turned a verdict in accordance there-
I with.
ATTENTION OLD SLEUTHS.

Mrs. Geo. P. Smoote, a highly cultivated
nil estimable lady of Prcscott, Ark., writes
undcrdatoof April 22,59: "During the sum
mor of 1887 my eyes became inflamed, and
my stomach and liver hopelessly disordered.
Nothing I ale agreed with mo. I tookebron
ic diarrhoea, and for some time my life was
despaired of by myfnmily. The leading phy
sicians of the country were consulted, biit
the meriictiiC3 administered by them never

!• itweou life and death, the latter being pre
lewblo to tl- igonics I was enduring. In
