RETURN OF COL. CRAWFORD.
Tlie Status of ths Texas-?Jciiic-Th) Colonel's
Appointment to n nigh Rdlwy Position
in Japan.
Col, Joseph U. Crawford reached
Los Angelea from the East yester
day after au abaeDOe of something
over a year from this section. Ilia
name Ims become a household
word in Southern California
through his connection with the
Texas-Pacific und Los Angeles and
Independence Railway. No man
baa dove more than the Colonel to
stir up our people to tlie possibili
ties of development. While we
have not regarded it aa the light
policy for California to champion
tlie Texas-Pacific as against the
extension of the California railwi y
system, we have watched With in
terest the career of our lata towns
man in tlie East. Dining his resi
dence there he lias been of Inval
uable service to the people of Kan
Diego, whose Interests lie went to
Washington to represent.
During a friendly interview we
found Col. Crawford decidedly reti
cent ns to railway mat tors. He
gave it as his opinion, however,
that if tlie united South, nt the
coming session of Congress, de
mand that Scott shall receive tbe
aiil he lias asked from that body it
will undoubtedly be granted. lie
points to the advocacy of tlie Tex
as-Pacific by such Illustrious South,
erners ai Lamar and Alexander H.
Stephens us evidence that the
measure cannot fail lo develop
great strength from that section.
He regards any chance of a com*
promise between Scott and Stan
ford as altogether nut of tbe ques
tion, as there had been repeated
opportunities of effecting such n
Compromise at the last session if
Scott hud desired to effect It.
The numerous friends of Col.
Crawford In this section will be
glad to learn tbat his personal for
tunes are decidedly on the ascend
ant. He has received Ihe
Appointment of Consulting
Engineer of Railways and
Tramways to Ihe Kaltkashl
Chowan of tiie Japanese Empire.
His appointment to this responsi
ble and lucrative position was due
to tlie confidence reposed in him hy
Col. Scott, who had been asked to
recommend a Competent engineer
fir the position, and who named
Col. Crawford. Tills will give our
ex-townsman the supervision of
the whole railway system of Japan,
That empire is making rapid
strides in railway building of late
yenrs, and wo predict that Col.
Crawford's arrival will give an im
petus to tlie good work.
We learn through a third party
(tlie Colonel did not volunteer any
information on this topic and
we, of course, did uot ask for any)
that Col. Crawford goes to Japan
on a three years' contract; und
Ihat, in addition to a residence pro
vided by the government, ho will
enjoy the muniticsot salary of
810,000 per annum.
Newhall Items.
Laborers and carpenters are
busily at work on the new hotel
and other buildings of tbe new
town of Newhall. Wo reported
previously that the hotel was to be
located at tho old Andrew's Sta
tion, between tho track and tbe oil
refinery. We were In error, as we
observe now that the location is
about three-fourths of a mile north
of that, and on the west side of the
track. As toon as may be, after
the completion of tbe hotel, the
present Newball depot will be
moved up to the new towu. It Is
also in contemplation to construct
a new road between Newhall and
the Camulos ranch, following the
route of Ihe telegraph line, and
passing the mouth of the canon In
which the oil wells are located,and
within a short distance of them.
This route shortens tho distance
hence to San Buenaventura at
least six miles. All these things
speak of permanent progress,
The smoke which filled our air
so sufFocatiugly on Monday came
from fires that prevailed during
that day and the previous night on
the San Fernando mountains. The
flro originated near Andrew's S'a
tion, and passing over the summit,
extended more or less into the San
Fernando valley. Wo hear of no
damage other than the destruction
of feed. Our informant says the
sight of tho mountains Sabbath
evening was magnificently grand;
and Molllt, being au artist, ought
lo know.
A most dsslardly attempt to
murder was committed 00 lliS lino
of tho Wilmington branoh of the
Southern Pacific Railroad about 7
o'clock last evening. At tho hour
named, as Superintendent Hewitt
was returning to the city on a
special locomotive from Wilming
ton, at a point a short distance be
low the city, some miscreant fired
Into Ihe cab o' the looomotlve,
breaking the glass and scattering
tlie fragments over Col. Hewlti
bui, fortunately, doing no other
damage. From the manner in'
whloh tlie glass was broken the
shot mutt have been Bred by a per
son standing very near the Hack
and with tho evident intent of do
ing mischief. Tlie iitmiißt rigor of
tho law should be-visited on the
cowardly perpetrator of suoh an
outrage and wo trust our police
will leave no effort untried to ifiTect
his oapture.
A movement Is ou loot lo build a
nsrrow-gsuge railway from this
cily to South Santa Monica. We
are Informed that tho right of way
from the proposed wharfs) to to the
city lias already been secured, The
plan comprises a wharf and a line
of steamers between the wharf and
Sau Francisco, on whloh the freight
is to bo $3 ">0 per ton and first-class
passenger fare (8. ah this pio
viding tho merchants and people
of Los Angeles bind Ihemselves to

THE NEW COUNTY HOSPITAL.
Bup?rb Lyatloa — A Perfectly Arr.<ngei
Building.
In company with Mr. Charles
Prager, Chairman of tho Hospital
Committee of (ho Board of Super
visors, we yesterday paid a visit lo
tlie new County Hospital, which
occupies a commanding site on the
plateau on the east side of the Los
Angeles river, one mile from the
city and about midway between
the covered (Macy street) and East
Los Angeles bridges. The build
ing faces tbe northwest nnd com
mands v charming view of tlie
city and the whole stretch of the
valley of tho river, both Up and
down.
Tlie main building is a large
two-story edifice 41 feet high, 72
teet front by 44 feet deep, with a
projection IGsSS feet, which is sur
rounded on three sides hy a broad
portion. In tlie rear are tlireo de
tached buildings, a,description of
whloh will come in ut the proper
place, Tho main lloor Is about
lour feet above the ground and is
reached by a wide flight of easy
steps that lead up to the portico
aud through a vestibule into a iiaii
10 feet wldo which runs through
the building to a wide porch ut the
rear. On the right au you enter is
Ihe dispensary, With a store-room
attached for medicines. Immedi
ately across tho ball is the recep
tion room. Theso rooms are in tlie
projection. The main building on
this floor is divided. Into four large
wards, provided with 12 beds each,
a hull-way 8 feet wide, running
tlie entire width pf the building, at
each end of which are large sinks
to be used by the Inmates for wash
ing. This floor Is also provided
with two bath-rooms and closets
und store-rooms.
Tlie second floor, which is reached
by broad, easy flights of stairs, is
allotted to the female inmates. It
is an exact counterpart of the first
lloor, except that there are but
three large wards, the other being
divided iuto sleeping rooms for the
overseer, nurses and conks, the two
rooms in the projection being fitted
up with but one bed cacli for the
use of special cases. This floor is
also provided with a largo porch at
tlie rear, hath rooms, closets and
clothes-presses.
The rear buildings vie each oue
story high, entirely separate from
the main building and each other
and are entered from tlie back
porch of tln; flint floor of tlie main
building. Two of tbem are 20x26
feet each and will tie used e.s wards
for contagious diseases, each being
provided with ten beds. The third,
which is 23x83 feet, will be used aa
the dining room. 'ITiia building
lias a btiok basement, lv which are
located the kitchen, store-room and
laundry, the kitchen being fur
nished Willi a Van Ness range
with steam boiler attachment, and
a capacious dumb waiter to convey
tbe viands to tlie room above.
All (lie floors are supplied with
city water, tlie bathrooms having
both hot und cold. On the roof a
tank of five hundred gui
lons capacity will bo kept
constantly filled to guard against
tire. The furniture throughout is
of the most substantial kind. The
bedsteads are ail of iron,with spring
bottoms, nic each provided with a
comfortable multilist and the
usual complement of bed clothing,
On our visit yesterday we found
Mr. F. Aoekerbium, who has been
appointed Hospital Steward and
overseer, and his wife matron, busy
getting things in order for tbe re
ception of tlie patients who will be
transferred from tlie care uf the
Sisters to-morrow.
No steps have yet been taken to
improve the ground ', the whole at
tention of tho Hospital Committee,
through its Chairman, Supervisor
Prager, having been directed to
pushing tlie work forward to com
pletion hy the Ist proximo. It was
the intention of tlie committee, as
soon as the building was ready for
occupancy, to appoint a day for
a public inspection; but, owing to
tlie reason stated above, they have
Deen compelled to give up that
idea. Visitors, however, will ho
received and shown through tlie
buildings by tho overseer, Mr,
Aooksrblum, at any time.

Wants to Know, You Know.
Editor Herald: in your issue
of tho 29th you put forward the per
tinent inquiry as to why pedestri
ans are obliged to bend nearly
double to save their faces, hats and
bonnets, while passing between the
places of Charles U. Johnson und
Councilman Jones. In connection
witli the above 1 would like to
know why Fifth street, between
Hill and Olivers left Impassable. I
think tiie reason is this: Oue side
of the block is owned by tbe city,
and the other by this same Coun
cilman Jones, and what cure they
for others? Were you or I the
owners we would he compelled to
act us good citizens uud improve
our property so us to render it any
thing else than ix nuisance.

Universal Information Condensed.
Coud.Mlse, condense, ia (lie liter
ary watchword of tho limes. Tlie
day of prolix sermons, of ponder
ous editorials, und diffuse (realises,
is substantially passed. To the
press, tlie pulpit, and llielyecum
alike, tlie earnest popular mandate
is, lie brief. Point, force, pungency,
order, grace, elegance aud beauty
of expression—great are these
among literary virtues, but greatest
of all is brevity. Tlie quick-witted
public is learning very fast that
real literary work Is not compos
ing, hut condensing. Ideas, in or
der to bo current now, must go
forth like new coin—compact,
shapely, and accurately classified,
so that the exact nature and value
Of each one may be Scan and recog
nized at v glance.
f n the spirit of these observations
we undertake to mention, in ns
brief space as possible, the charac
ter and merits of a great literary
achievement, which is itself an il
lustration of the foregoing para
graph. It is called Johnson's Uni
versal Cyclopedia, the URent for
which is now in town and intends
to give tbistowna thorough can
vass,
Afier carefully examining a few
of the many Important and novel
features of thla work, we regard it
as exactly the book for a him-,
pushing, go-ahead people, like
those of this State, who want the
pith of everything with as little
trouble as possible, A complete set
of tliis work, in four volumes, will
occupy hut little more than two
square feet on the table of a
student, editor or business man,
and will hardly encumber tbe cen
ter table of a family.s
The first two volumes contain
over 1000 pages each, treat 30,000
subjects, have about 2000 illustra
tions and many valuable imps and
plain. At the close of the history
and statistics of each State in the
Union is a table of her Governors
and all tho electoral and popular
votes she has cast for President.
Valuable aa aro these facts, they
aro not. to ho found iv any similar
work. Tho Declaration of Inde
pendence, Constitution of the
United States and Emancipation
Proclamation are given iii full.
Charles O'Conor, of New York,
writes on Democracy, which sub
ject and important documents are
not mentioned iv tlie American.
Johnson's is 11 hand-book of Amer
ican law on the most Important
points, T. W. Dwight and Presi
dent Woolsey, of Yale College, be
ing the authorities, The depart
ment of medicine is prepared by
Professors Wiliard Parker, Abra
ham Jacob! and Flint, three of the
ablest physicians in the United
States.
On all religious matters 'he work
is strictly impartial, confining it
self to the unquestioned huts,
tersely stated. Dr.Whednn writes
ou Armlntanlam, Prof. Hodge on
Calvinism, President Anderson 011
Baptists and Baptism, and Hodge
on Preabyterianism,
The biographical feature is V ry
full and complete. It tells in af. w
words just wiiat a Cyclopedia
should—the dale of a man's birth
and death (if dead), wtiero ho lived
and what he did.
In geography this work la far
ahead of anything of its kind yet
pubiishsd. Mr. Johnson is the
publisher of the best maps extant,
aud those which adorn this work
were prepared by him expressly.
Scientific subjects uro written up
by such men as Rielinrd Proctor,
Secretory of ths Royal Astronomi
cal Society of London, John T.yn
dall, Professors Wm. D. Whitney,
E. Li, Youmans, Asa Yeary, Hitch
cock and others.
As compared with other eye'ope-1
dias wo believe its information is
mora clearly and tersely given.
I'lle subjects are classified and
Ireated under different heads,
thereby greatly enhancing i s
value, while the authority of the
most important articles Is placed
beyond a doubt hy having Ibe
Writer's name appended. For ex
ample, under the subject "Acous
tics," we first, have the definition
and theory of sound; then follows
under a separate head "Velocity of
the Sound Waves;" next. "Reflec
tion and Refraction of Sound;"
"Length of Sound-waves;" "Cause
of Discord;" "The Voice," and
last of all under tlt id topic, "The
Ear." The subject occupies Saved
pages, has twelve Illustrations,anq
the name of O. N. Rood, Prof-, ssor
of Physios iv Columbia College,
appended as the author, li is 11s
compact a piece of literary work as
we ever saw. Through out, the
work bears svldeuoa o( hydraulic
pressure. Bach article appears to
nave come from an Intellectual
condenser, where superfluities and
dross have been thoroughly elimi
nated.
Vory much iuoim might lie oaid
of this work, but enough linn hecn
siviil to open tho way to Mr. Stint*
■OD, tho (ollaltiog IgOOt, whom wo
onmmt n l to every ptMOO he moy
