The oilier day our attention was
called lo tho carriage of the Ham
ilton House, near l'usadena. It
was made by tlie Motsrs. Maloney
& Flimeasy, of this city. It is
a model of neatness, durability nnd
style. The struggle of the builders
was evidently between strength
aud lightness, and the huppy mean
was accomplished in a way that
showed that these gentlemen are
artisls in their line. The question
of Home Industry, when it takes
the shape of such vehicles, made
by Los Augoles bands, every de
tail of which was manipulated in
this city, Is no louger an open one.
It is a fact accomplished. We have
inspected the elegant stock of that
fur famed Eastern manufacturer,
Brewster, and we confess that we
have never seen anything from his
hands which, even in finish and
elegance, exceeds tho work lurued
out by these home manufacturers.
The work of tho Messrs. Maloney
& Finnessy has in addition, a merit
which cannot he claimed for the
Eastern manufacturer. Every
thing that enters into Ihe con
struction of a carriage or wagon
made by them is specially adapted
to this climate. Tlie wood Is seas
oned here, and tho precise 'strain
und degree of frlotlou encountered
on our local roads ore understood
to a dot hy this enterprising firm.

rulers into a perfect toilette, oither
for (he street or house. Their stock
of gentlemen's and hoys' goods,
comprising suits and furnishing
goods of the newest fashion, boots,
shoes, hots, etc., Is perfect in every
detail. These goods having been
bought for cash, the Messrs. Norton
&Co. will sell nt astonishingly low

crib is a sure bonanza. We heard
of a farmer in (lie Southern part of
tho county who is now marketing
his three yean' crops, (or which ho
is getting the high prices for which
he hus so long waited. Of another
of tlie same section, who has just
told his last yeai's crop from 40

states that the county is filled with
agents of San Francisco houses
who are buying up all the surplus
corn for shipment to that city.

IS THE PROBLEM SOLVED?
Electro-Magnetism tha Key to JErial Naviga
tion—A New Flying Machjno—A Plausible
Theory —A Lob Angelea Invention.
Humors having reached our ears
lately that a gentleman of this
city who lias devoted considerable
attention to recent scientific dis
coveries, such as the telephone and
phonograph, and has loug beeu a
student of electricity mid its ef
fects, had perfected tho model of
what he considers a successful fly
ing machine, wo detailed our local
reporter to interview the gentle
man, whom we shall call, for the
purposes of this article, Inventor,
as he has not yet perfected arrange
ments for his patent, and shuns
the notoriety that would bo at
tendant upon the publication of his
name and the consequent destruc
tion of the peace and quietness of
his secluded home circle. The dis
covery is ouly an illustration of
the law that seems to govern these
matters, that one remarkable in
vention Is rapidly succeeded by
another; the series that began witli
the telephone and phonograph
Beeming now litcely to bi followed
up by the flying machine.
THE INTERVIEW.
Reporter—l have called lo see
what information you are willing
to give the public In relation to
the flying machine, of which, not
withstanding your effort! at secro
sy, hints have now and then
reached my ears.
Inventor—l don't euro to fay
much about the matter now. lam
making arrangements for my
patent, and I don't want lo do
anything that would militate
against my success in that direc
tion. Still, I would not object to
giving you a few ideas In regard to
Ihe principle upon which my ma
chine will work. Of course, my
remarks will be geueral.
Reporter—Do you follow iv the
footsteps of others, or have you
struck out In a new p:ith?
Inventor—So far as the inven
tion is concerned, it may bo suid to
be a new path, untrodden, I think,
by any one. The principle, how
ever, is uot original A'lth myself.
I do not claim credit for the princi
ple.
Reporter—What is the leading
mechanical principle?
Inventor -The principle is that
of electro-magnetism. Ity the ap
plication of electro-magnetism In
tlie machine, as you may be pleased
to call it, which I havo Invented,
flying, instead of being difficult to
do, wil! be Ihe easiest thing in the
world. In uiet, with my machine,
Ihe dlfflaally will be not to fly, be
cause all v. ho apply my invention
will, to their surprise, immediately
loso their ponderability—tlie eH'eot
of gravity, as philosophers would
say—and, instead of having a ten
dency to adhere lo tho earth, will
havo an impulse to fly off from il
iuto space, just as bits of metal fil
ings will lly oft' a magnet after
having lost tho attributes which
cause the substances to bo electri
cally attracted toward each other,
livery time a piece of iron rises
aud jumps up to meet a magnet
held above it, it Hies, to all intents
aud purposes. Tho Newtonian
theory, scientists aro now being
forced to acknowledge, was incor
rect.
MAGNETISM ViSUSL'S GRAVITATION.
Reporter—Why, I thought the
principle of gravitation was eer
taluly one of the things estab
lished in this uncertain world of
ours. What shall we do if we lose
our familiar illustration of the ap
ple falling from the treo suggesting
to Newton tlie truth of that great
principle?
Inventor—Tho Newtonian theory
of gravitation, us applied to the
universe of material objects, would
never have been promulgated by
Its great author if he had under
stood electrical science as we under
stand it to-day. If he had known
the power of maguetlsm and the
characteristics ef electricity, be
would never havo employed that
meaningless term, gravitation, to
denote the grandest fact in nature.
The latest, and, I think, the correct
theory, is this: All the material ob
jects in tlie universe me held in
their respectivo and proper places
by moans of magnetic attraction.
Tho sun is the great ceutral mag
net ot our system. We know that
it has heat and light, that the ef
fects of its photosphero are electri
cal, so that we cau say with almost
certain knowledge that this is the
case. The earth, too, is a muguet
which may be said to ho positively
electrified; for, as every one knows,
electricity, magnetism, magneto
electricity, galvanism, und all the
various forms und phases of this
occult principle ore so closely lu
lei blended and couuected, that,
without going into a lengthy ex
planation, they may be all said to
be only parts of one whole.
WEIOIIT A MYTH.
Reporter—This ia all very scicii
title, but appears to be covering too
uiucb ground, Wliat lias this to ilo
witli the Hying machine?
luventor—Simply this—to return
to the Hying machine—tho earth is
a magnet; all bodies and persons ou
its surface ate magnets of a differ
eut or opposite character, an d arc
hold upon the earth hy means of
magnetic attraction; so, then, all
that Is necessary to fly or rise In
the air—because it will be compul
sory to fly If you can destroy what
is known as gravity—ls simply to
destroy the magnetic character of a
body which causes the earth to at
truct it, and substitute n different
or opposite magnetic character,
which would cause the earth as a
mugnet to repel it. Every school
boy knows that what is known as
positive electricity attracts what is
known as negative, but that nega
tive repels negative and positive
repels positive. I claim to have
discovered tlie means by which
this can be done. 1 claim lhat
what is known as weight is a
myth. There Is no such thing us
weight or "ponderability." it is
ouly the magnetic property of v
man's body by which the earlh, as
a magnet, attracts liim to its sur
face. Tin- great object will bo to
apply tho principle which I havo
discovered only to tho extent to en
able a man to rise and float a few
feet above the ground. Being once
raised in air, the fractional and
other resistance of the atmosphere
being so trifling, tbe merest
mechanical appliance will be snf
>
ficlent to propel one through tbe
air from one place to another at a
marvelous rate of speed.
the muscular theory of the
FLIGHT OF BIRDS DENIED.
Reporter—This is certainly very
singular aud novel, but no obser
vant person can have failed to no
tice that birds of the largest size
seem to fly without any effort, aud
sometimes to sustain thomaelves
In mid nir while their wings are at
perfect rest.
Inventor—Do you put that a 9 an
objection to my theory? That is
the very fact which suggested the
Idoa to my mind. I myself havo
seen buzzards, large bird*, fly for
miles without a quiver or motion
of the wings. Scientists explain
this by saying they only do so at
great heights, witli hundreds or
perhaps thousands of feet of atmos
phere bolow them, so that when
their wings aro extended the re
sistance of the air upon them will
uphold them. This I know, hy
actual observation, to be untrue.
I have seen them skim along over
the surface of tiie ground, some
times within two or threo feet of it,
at a lightning rate, without auy mo
tion except of the tail and head.
In studying ui-ou this fact, aud
upon investigation, I arrived ut the
conclusion, by means satisfactory
to myself, including many actual
experiments, that these birds, and
all others in greater or less degree,
are upheld In the air by the electri
cal condition of their bodies during
flight, which render* them repel
lent to the earth, and not, us is
popularly supposed, by (heir great
muscular power.
SIMPLE AND COMPACT.
Reporter—Would you oblige mo
with an inspection of this wonder
ful machine of yours?
Inventor—This is impossible. It
won't do to tell you any more vow.
I think I have talked a little too
much on tlio subject already, and I
will only say further at the present
time Unit my invention, like all
great Invention*! is exceedingly
simple and not at all bulky.
FLYING MEN—DRESS REFORM.
Reporter—How soon do you lu
tein! to give us a lest of its capabil
ities?
Inventor —There is so little to do
that I expect to have it perfected
Very soon, and you need not be at
all surprised If Within a year, right
here iv I.os Angeles, you soo the
air in tbe morning, al noon, and in
tiie evening, thiol! with flying men
on their way to work, to dinner, or
to supper. [ I'ho inventor laugh
ing.] 1 imagine tho women will
have to make a change in their
present fashions, at least for street
dresses, and that the cause of dress
reform Will be materially aided.
Thanking Inventor for his po
liteness and information, our re
porter look his departure
Killed with a Hoe-Handle.
Yesterday morning Coroner Il.in
-11011 was culled upon to hold an in
quest on the body of Angel Garcia,
an Indian, who died from tho effects
of a blow from a hoe-handle, iv-
Qtoted by Trinidad Mufioz.on Satur
day evening last. Following are
tho circumstances attending the
murder us elicited at (lie inquest:
Faleclano Nunez sworn: Knew
Ihe deceased; last Saturday 1 was
waiting on table in my house when
I heard blows; then I laid tlie
dishes down unit hurried back;
when I got to the middle door I
beard another blow; when I got
outside of tho door I saw the de
ceased lying on the ground, felled
by a blow which I saw Trinidad
Muiioz atrike him; I told him
(Muiioz) that he had not done
right; 1 told him that even a po
licemau had no right to come into
my house and do such a thing; lie
hud something lite a stick in his
bund, witli which he struck the
Indian; could not tell what it was;
saw blood coming from head of de
ceased; the Indian had no weapon
with him (hat I saw; don't know
that they had any fuss before;
neither were tight at* the time that
I know of; this happened between
7 and 8 o'clock Saturday night.
I beard Mufloz say when he
struck deceased, "I'll learn you to
insult women."
Maria Delugloria sworn:—Last
Saturday this Indian (the deceased)
came heio to me and wanted to
borrow a knife; lie said "a knife
that's noaccouut, to scratch a coun
ter that I have got to clean; when
he was cleaning the counter some
boys tried to turn tlie counter over;
the Indian chased tho hoys, when
the mother of the hoys came out
aud began to scold the ludiau;
I lie ii Muiioz came out and took up
tlie quarrel and called the Indian
names; Trinidad knocked tho In
dian down twico with his fist; the
Indian then got Hp and tried to go
to work again on the counter but
Trinidad shoved him away and
would not let him work; Trinidad
picked up a tub and struck the lu
diau ou the head with it three
limos; then tho Indian lltrust at
Trinidad with the old knife that he
(the Indian) had in his hand, but
did not touch him; tlie Indian
then started to run to tho restau
rant, and, as he got to the door,
Trinidad knocked lilm down with
a hoe which he held in his band;
the Indiau did not speak after he
had fallen; don't know why a doc
tor was not called for the injured
man. It was late iv the day, was
not dark yet.
The evidence of Franciaoc Cborbo
was then taken, but he knew noth
ing of tlie fracas.
The bee with which Garcia had
been struck down was exhibited to
thejurj. From the appearance of
the Implement it was evident that
the wound had been indicted with
tlie blade, the sharp corner of which
had penetrated the Indian's skull.
Tbe stout oak handle was shattered,
evidently, by tlie force of tho blow.
The Coroner, nsssisted by Dr.
Richardson, made a post mortem
examination of tlie deceased to es
tablish the precise character of the
wound, after which tho jury re
turned a verdict that Garcia came
to his deatli on the 30th day ol
April from the effects of a wound
inflicted Saturday, April 27th, by
one Trinidad Mufioz.
Muiioz was examined beforo
Judge Baldwin yesterday afternoon
and held in $3,000 for his appear
ance before the Grand Jury.

What a Tottering Fabric
Is a system depleted of vitality and ir

The tonic und regulating properties of
Stomach Hitters particularly

physical vigor und reform those bodily
Irregularities which are it barrier to Its
permanent restoration. Biliousness and
constipation are totullv overborne by It,
und t lie digestive activity nnd thorough
assimilation which It promotes have the
effect of Increasing the vivifylug and
nourishing qualities of the blood. The
Hit tcrs are also an oxeellent delergen I ol

and kidneys, which are the most Impor
