POTOMAC BLOCK. The Work of Building Up a Great City. What .1. M. Griffith Did in the Dull Times. An Edifice That Would Do Credit fo Hew York. A Solid Building 120xlS0 Feet, Four Sto ries High, With Nearly 120 Rooms. Yesterday afternoon a few invited guests met in the rooms of Mr. J. M. Griffith in his new block, known as the Potomac, on Broadway, south of Second street, at the formal opening of the building. Incident to the occasion w r as an elegant little collation served to the guests in the spacious and handsome dining-room in the building. The meet ing around the hospitable board, over which Mr. Griffith presided with his customary cordiality, was a most pleas ant one to all present. But pleasant as all this was, the meet ing is not the object that calls for notice at this time. It is the occasion that brought this little party of distinguished Angelefios together. The Potomac block is the topic the people of this handsome city will be interested in. In brief, it lies, like the celestial city of the apoca lypse, four-square, being 120x120 feet area on the ground. That is, the frontage extends the full distance of two city lots along the west side of Broadway, be ginning 120 feet south of the corner of Second. It extends back 120 feet, uot quite half way to Hill street. The edifice is four stories in height, and con tains 113 rooms, outside of the dining room, kitchen, bath rooms, etc. Under the whole building there is a fine base ment. The cost of the edifice first and last has been nearly $150,000. It is per haps the very largest, the most substan tial and nearly the most costly building in the city. Whether it is absolutely so or not, it is certainly a noble pile and does great credit to the enterprise of its founder, and illustrates his unbounded faith in Los Angeles. This is the more remarkable in view of the fact that Mr. Griffith has put this building up during the past two years when business was dull, when faith in the future of the city was wavering to such a degree that the un wise were disgruntled because there was no opportunity to sell out. The faith of the builder oi the Potomac block is all the more significant for the reason that he has seen the ups and downs of Los Angeles for a period of nearly thirty years. He has spent his manhood days all here, and has at all periods been greatly instrumental in the developing of its resources. Where the Potomac block has just been erected he built a dwelling some 22 years ago, that at that time discounted by long odds all the residences in the city. Mr. Griffith has seen Los Angeles pass through periods of real de pression of so protracted dura tion that faifth well might wane. His never did. He always believed in the future of this matchless section, and just as he has backed his opinion in the erection of this noble building, so he al ways put in money here into all sorts of legitimate enterprises, sure that there would be a return in time. He has made many ventures, but never one so wise as in tbe building of the Potomac. The plan of the building was made by Curlett & Eisen, architects of this city, who also planned the new court house, the Sisters' school on Boyle Heights and others of the best structures in the city. The contractor for tbe erection of this building was Andrew McNally, whose workmanlike and honest handiwork is impressed upon the city at every hand. The Potomac well illustrates the substantial and thorough char acter of his w r ork. The brick was made in the great patent kiln at lnglewood, and is as good mate rial of the kind as ever went into any buildings. The fine pressed brick in the trimmings was imported from the east. The stone is from the famous Sespe quar ries in Ventura county, and is as hard as granite, while being of a fine, rich brown color. One of the features of the build ing is the finish in the interior. Ihe wainscoting which runs through the entire building is all of the best Oregon pine, trimmed with clear and perfect ash. All the building is furnished with steam heating apparatus, and all the floors are supplied with hot and cold water, bath rooms and kindred accommodations. There are two elevators in the building, one for passengers in the front of the build ing, an Otis of the most approved pat tern ; in the rear is another for the hoisting of freight to the upper floors. It will elevate a ton weight with the greatest ease. These elevators are run by compressed air supplied from an en gine run by steam in the basement. The exhaust steam heats the water for the bath rooms and such purposes in the building. A marked feature of the Potomac is that there are no poorly lighted or badly ventilated rooms in the whole edifice. The rear of the block is all open to a large lot, and through the center of the building extends from basement to roof a large area to furnish light and air to the rooms. The halls are nobly broad, and run both ways the whole length and breadth of the building. The windows, doors and other finishings are all in the best style of architecture, so that the appearance of the rooms is most inviting. The broad stairs in front and rear, together with the two elevators, afford perfect means of egress from the building, so that no accident could possibly occur in case of a (ire, a contingency not at all likely to arise in a structure so well planned and so per fectly executed as this edifice is. Already the block has attracted some of the best people in the city as tenants. The kitchen and dining-room are leased to a very competent person, Mrs. Cook, who conducts that department with much success. Occupants of the build ing may thus secure their meals without going from the building. It is certain that every room in the Potomac will soon be filled with a most desirable class of tenants. The certain fact that the utmost scrutiny will be exercised as to who may rent rooms in the building, so that no one objection able to the most fastidious shall find lodging, will be sure to draw to it the best ofcustom. The ground floor is of course for stores. They are large, well-lighted and most desirable premises, and situated as they are on the line of the cable cars from all quar THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1890. ters of the city, and in the very heart of the business section, they will be very desirable. The city hall is just across the street. Broadway is coming out. The Califor nia Bank building on the corner, the Y. M. C. A. edifice next, and then the Po tomac, make about the finest row of structures in the city. Judge J. D. Bicknell owns next south of the Poto mac, and it is understood that he will soon erect a building much like the last named, and quite in keeping with the rest of the row. DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS. Caucuses Held in Several Places —The Jackson Club. At the regular Democratic caucus, held in precinct B of the eighth ward, the following delegates were elected : 11. J.

Nineteen names were voted upon favor ably, and eleven applications made for membership. The constitution and by laws will be ready for distribution in a few days. The new hall will be in readi ness about the Ist of the month. Four hundred badges were ordered to be made at once, consisting of a silver button with Jackson's profile within a crescent.

Brooks, W. L. Price and others. The membership of the club now reaches 400, and the roll is fast in creasing. Branch clubs will soon be established throughout the city. The club adjourned to meet on August 7th. THE FORGERY CASE Continued Until Next Monday Morning for Examination. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the hour appointed for the preliminary ex amination of Assemblyman J. M. Dam ron and J. S. Chadwick, standing room was at a premium in Justice Austin's court, and it was a somewhat difficult matter to obtain ingress to the room. When the court called the case, District Attorney Kelly rose and announced that the attorney for the defendant Chad wick had requested a continuance, as he had been called away to Santa Bar bara yesterday morning. He stated that he was perfectly willing that a continu ance should be had, provided that the fact that it was granted at the request of the defendants should appear upon the records. Major Donnell addressed the court briefly in favor of a continu ance, stating that he had been retained in the case to assist, and would like time in which to become acquainted with the facts connected with it before conducting it. At this juncture the defendant Dam ron rose and moved the court for a seg regation of his ease from that of the de fendant Chadwick. The district at torney announced that he would never consent to such a proceeding, and the court stated that it had made a conces sion in the case of Justice Lockwood,but that it was not prepared to make a simi lar order in the other cases. The ques tion before it at tbat time, however, was not that of segregation, but on a motion for a continuance, which would be granted, and the examination was con tinued until 10 o'clock ou Monday morning next. "AND HELPER." Swell Commercial Tourists Provided With Assistants. "J. Sellsilk and Helper" is a signature that is nowadays often seen on hotel registers. The name does not matter, it is always the name of a commer cial tourist, but the "and Helper" is what puzzles people. Such a signature appeared yesterday on the Nadeau reg ister, and in reply to a Herald re porter's question Clerk Burns explained the matter. "You see, drummers now adays carry great numbers of trunks; we had one recently who had thirteen of them; every year they carry more stuff with them, until now the large firms give their salesmen a man to do the un packing and packing, and help generally ; he is the helper, don't you see? Some of the swellest drummers have two such men." A drummer's life is a happy one; soon all that will be required'of them will be good looks and the ability to spend money. AMUSEMENTS.

Albert Rasmus Severely Hurt by the Ball. His Wife Said to Be the Cause of the Difficulty. The Shooter Escapes from the Car But Is Recognized Later in the Evening and Lodged in Jail. At 10 o'clock last night Albert Ras mus, a well-known hack driver, was sitting alone on the rear seat of an in coming Ninth-street horse car as it pro ceeded along Spring street. At the intersection of Fifth street, while the conductor and driver of the car were busily engaged in an animated discus sion on the front platform, another pas senger in the person of A. H. V. Sinden jumped suddenly on the footboard within three feet of Rasmus. The latter glanced up hastily at the newcomer and immediately recognized him, but before he had recovered from his surprise Sinden whipped out a large revolver and pointing it deliberately at Rasmus's head fired. His aim, however, was not true, as the bullet struck Rasmus under the left jaw, and passing through his neck severed the wind-pipe. Neither man had spoken a word up to that time, and the driver and conductor, both of whom heord the shot, were too much interested in look ing for its source, evidently supposing it to have been fired from the sidewalk, to notice the passengers on the rear plat form, or to stop the car. In the mean time Sinden rode as far as Fourth street, where he jumped from the footboard and ran towards Broadway, where he disappeared. By the time the car reached Third street the conductor had discovered that Rasmus was wounded, and Officer Chase was notified and rode as far as Second, when he assisted the hackman to the police station, where lie was booked for medical treatment. Drs. Wing and Morri son were summoned, and after examin ing Rasmus's . wound, pronounced him as not in any immediate danger, although it was considered advisable to forbid him to talk much. His left cheek and jaw were badly powder marked, the pistol having evidently been held at close range when the shot was fired. The physicians stated that it was almost a miracle that the ball should have escaped the carotid artery in its passage through Rasmus's neck. As usual in such affairs, there was a woman at the bottom of it, the cause in this case being Rasmus's wife, from whom he has been separated for some time past. The wounded man was interviewed in the city jail after the physicians had left, and in spite of the difficulty he experienced in talking, seemed "anxious to tell his story. He stated in effect that for the past eighteen months he had had trouble with Sinden on account of the latter's intimacy with his wife, and that during that time hi ■ had repeatedly warned the interloper to refrain from visiting her. She, how ever, became infatuated with Sinden, and husband and wife separated for a time, but subsequently lived together again for a few months, when they parted once more. A short time ago he went away to San Fran cisco, but returned two days ago, and learned on inquiry that his wife was employed as a domestic at the residence of Mr. Rhodes, at the corner of Fifteenth and Georgia Belle streets. Yesterday afternoon he called upon her there, but found that Sinden had forestalled him, and a scene ensued, after which he left the house and did not see Sinden again until the shooting occurred on the car at the corner of Spring and Fifth streets. After the shooting Sinden, it was sub sequently learned, jumped on a cable car and rode out to Rasmus's wife at Fifteenth street, and returned about 11:45 o'clock. In the meantime the police had been diligently searching for him in every direction, but had found no trace of him, but as soon as he alighted from the cable cars he was rec ognized, and a few minutes later was arrested and taken to the county jail by Detective Lawson and Captain Peabody. He refused to make any statement of the affair when seen by a Hebald re porter in his cell at that institution, but made a number of inquiries as to Ras mus's condition and the nature of his injuries. He appeared to feel immensely relieved on learning that his victim was not dangerously wounded; but reserved a dogged silence when questioned as to the shooting. Sinden was for some time a special officer and sexton at the Catholic cem etery, but subsequently entered the em ploy of Detective Lawson as a patrolman, and was serving in that capacity at Pasa dena until last night. WHALE BONES. They Are Found 200 Feet Above the Sea Level. An interesting discovery was made yesterday by R. D. Sepulveda on his ranch, one mile and a quarter from San Pedro. He had been digging a reservoir some 2,000 feet from the sea shore, and 200 feet above sea-level, and when he reached a depth of fourteen feet from the surface he came across a number of hard substances, which, upon investigation, proved to be the bones of a whale. Becoming interested in the matter, Mr. Sepulveda dug around the bones, and finally uncovered about fifty feet of the skeleton of a whale in perfect condition. How much larger the skeleton is Mr. Sepulveda did not know, but the fact that the skeleton is there, nearly 200 feet above sea-level, and 2,000 from the shore, makes it a curiosity.

The Democrats of the sixth ward are requested to meet at No. 130, corner Main and Fifteenth streets, on Friday, July 18th, at 8 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of nominating fifteen delegates to the county convention to be held July 22, 1800.
