POSTMASTER GREEN.
His Death Occurs Yesterday Morn
' ing.
A death could scarcely occur that was
more unexpected than that of Postmas
ter Johu W. Green yesterday morning.
While it was known to his personal
friends that Mr. Green was in poor
health, his ordinary friends and ac
quaintances supposed him to be enjoy
ing fairly good health. Even to those
who were aware of the fact of his mal
ady, the news came with almost the
suddenness of a complete surprise.
Postmaster Green was 63 years of age,
and a native of Michigan. He came to
this city about eight years ago from
Washington, D. C, and engaged in real
estate business.
Just before the close of President
Arthur's administration, Mr. Green was
appointed postmaster of this city, suc
ceeding Colonel Dunkelberger. He was
succeeded by E. A. Preuss during the
Cleveland administration, and in turn
succeeded that gentleman as chief of
the office on July 1,1800.
Several weeks ago he had an attack of
la grippe and was confined to his bed,
but seemed to fully recover, and on Fri
day, the 24th of July, felt very well.
On the following day, Saturday, he went
to his office. About noon he laid down
on a lounge in the office, and in a few
minutes complained of a severe chill.
He was taken home and remained in
a semi-conscious condition during the
East week until Sunday evening, when
c sank very rapidly and died without
pain.
The family consists of his wife and a
son, Charles E. Green, who is private
secretary to Colonel Fred Crocker, in
San Francisco. He was Bent for Sunday
afternoon. Mrs. Green is completely
prostrated and no arrangements for the
funeral will be made until her son ar
rives.
The authorities at Washington were
notified by telegraph of Mr. Green's
death and the affairs of the office will
be looked after by H. J. Shoulters, at
present assistant postmaster, until Mr.
Green's successor is appointed.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
poetoffice employees was held, at which
it was decided to send a floral piece to
the funeral from the employees. The
piece will represent a post with a mail
box attached, all of flowers. W. H.
Stewart presided at the meeting, and C.
E. Gale acted as secretary. The follow
ing resolutions, were presented, and
passed unanimously:
Whereas, Our postmaster, John W.
Green, in accordance with nature's inex
orable law, passed from this life on the
morning of August' 3d, 1801, to the
realms of the unknown;
Resolved, That by the death of Mr.
Green we lose an able executive and a
true and generous friend, and we ex
tend to his bereaved family our sincere
sympathy in this hour of their deepest
sorrow.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to the bereaved family and
to the city press for publication.
As Mr. Green was a member of sev
eral secret orders, it is expected that
they will participate in the funeral ex
ercises ; particularly the Masonic fra
ternity. The letter carriers Will turn
out in a body in uniform.
Warm weather often causes extreme tired
feeling and debility, and in the weakened con

A FAMILY JAR.
THE ALEX AN DER-REIN STEIN AF
FAIR AIRED IN COURT.
Complaints and Counter Complaints of
Disturbing the Peace—lnmates of a
Lodging House Who Failed to Agree,
The troubles and grievances of the
Alexander and Reinstein families were
aired in Judge Austin's court yesterday
morning. Mrs. Bernstein conducts the
Clifton house, and until quite recently
Mrs. Alexander and Miss Eva Alexan
der managed the dining hall. Last Fri
day was an eventful day at the Clifton
mansion, according to the testimony of
the several witnesses yesterday morn
ing. It will be remembered that
■a complaint was sworn out charging
Mrs. Reinstein with disturbing the
peace by Miss Eva Alexander. Later in
the.day Mrs. Reinstein swore to a com
plaint of the name charge against Phil
lip Alexander.
Mrs. Reinstein's case was taken up
first. It appears that Mrs. Reinstein
and Miss Alexander had had words in
the dining room. Mrs. Reinstein had
come in for the purpose of dissolving
business relations with the Alexander
family. There was a flood of words and
very serious allegations were made. The
war of women waxed hotter and
hotter and Mrs. Alexander,
according to ber testimony, heard
Mrs. Reinstein say some awful
things about her daughter. The wit
ness stated that she was so dumb
founded that she thought that she
would drop dead.
Mrs. Reinstein swore that she did not
say unkind things about Miss Alex
ander, but admitted telling her that she
did not treat her mother right by keep
ing money taken in at the dining table.
The testimony on both sides developed
a startling discrepancy, and some one
must have done some tall swearing.
The case was submitted without argu
ment, and the charge against Mrs. Rein
stein was dismissed.
The disturbing the peace case of Phil
lip Alexander was next taken up. When
Alexander came from work he was told
about the family jar. He sided with
his family, and very naturally became a
little excited. In fact Alexander, al
though reported to be a very quiet
young man, got mad and proceeded to
lecture Mrs. Reinstein.
Miss Jennie Reinstein, the pretty
daughter of the plaintiff in the case,
testified that Alexander announced his
intention of cutting her mother with a
knife. Another young man who hap
pened to be present said that the threat
made by Alexander was that he would
thrash Mrs. Reinstein.
Alexander was put on the stand. He
stated that he acted in a very mild man
ner, but admitted lecturing Mrs. Rein
stein. Judge Austin adjudged Alexander
guilty of disturbing the peace, and fined
him $10.
A KNUCKLE DUEL.
Two Young Bloods Fight in
the RinK.
Two young men battered one another
for almost half an hour just before noon
on Sunday. All attempts to find out
the names of the pugilists proved futile.
The encounter took place back of Brook
lyn Heights, and there were only six
eye witnesses. A young man connected
with the cable company officiated as
referee. The young men met to settle A
difference, and the principal spec
tators were friends of the
youthful fighters. No rules governed
the fight, and the young men Bmashed
at one another with bare fists for fully
half an hour before the lighter man cried
"peccavi." The referee was seen by a

Watches, Diamonds, Jewelry, Clocks,
Silverware and Optical Goods.
• Having removed to 109 S. SPRING ST., under
the Hotel Nadeau, I am noyr prepared to snow to my
friends and the public at large, one of the finest and largest
stocks of first-class goods, consisting of Diamonds, Watches,
Jewelry, Clocks, Silverware and Optical Goods; also, a fine
line of Bronzes, to be sold at and below cost price. For
low prices I defy competition.
S. NORDLINGER.
Herald reporter, but he refused to give
up the names of the principals. He said
that it would never do for the matter to
get into the papers, as both the young
men are sons of wealthy parents.
It is said that the fight was on account
of a pretty young lady who resides at
Boyle Heights.
ON THE MOVE.
The New Court House to be Occupied
on Monday.
The occupants of the old court house
and County Treasurer Banbury are the
busiest men in town these days. County
Clerk Ward, Recorder Kelly, Sheriff
Gibson, Auditor Howe and Tax Collector
Whitney will be in the new building on
on the hill next Monday, and they are
beginning the process of moving with an
energy that shows they are only too
happy to get out of their present dingy
offices. County Clerk Ward's deputies
put in a full day yesterday moving the
office files to the new building, and about
half of this job is already finished. Sim
ilar rapid progress is being made by all
of the other county officers interested,
and the six named departments will be
in working order in the new building at
the appointed time.
It must not be understood that the
supervisors have already accepted the
new court house from Contractor O. E.
Brady for such is not the case. The
county is merely taking possession of a
portion of the building with the per
mission kindly given by Mr. Brady, who
practically owns the structure, and this
will in no way interfere with the right
of the supervisors to refuse to accept the
building if it is found to be defective.
| The supervisors have in anticipation
I a little "blowout" to be given to the
t public when the new building is opened
and fully occupied. They propose,
when everything is fitted up about the
various offices, to light the building up
from cellar to tower some evening and
show the people what they possess.
Sudden Deaths.
Heart disease is by far the most frequent
cause of sudden death, which in three out of
four cases is unsuspected. The symptoms are
not generally understood. These are: A habit
of lying on the right side, short breath, pain or
distress in side, back or shoulder, irregular
pulse, asthma, weak and hungry spells, wind in
stomach, swelling of ankles or dropsy, oppres
sion, dry cough and smothering Dr. Miles'
illustrated book on heart disease, free at all

uneqnaled New Heart Cure, and his Restorative

PEOPLE'S STORE.
«
Tuesday, August 4, 1891.
There are still many choice bargains in the linen house stock (Murry, Watt &
Co.'si scattered throughout every aisle and in each department of the house. It
is needless for us to discuss the merits of this stock further. The public appre
ciate it, and it will take care of itself.
We desire to call your attention to some radical changes that have taken place*
in both our clothing and shoe department, which will be of interest to the pur
chasing public.
DRESS GOODS.
Among other things that we inaugurate today you will find a line of wool
dress goods in beautitul coloring at 12><c per yard, that are sold as remarkably
cheap all over this town at 25c. This item will suffice to bring you to that depart
ment.
BASEMENT DEPARTMENT.
We are trying to interest you in the wares that we carry in our basement sales
rooms. It is a department that we have created to utilize space. We pay no rent;
conduct it almost without expense; purchase the goods from first hands, and
think this argument will enable you to judge whether we can undersell competi
tors in this line. We ask you to step into our basement salesrooms and see if there
is anything in the crockery, glassware, tinware or japanned ware, agate ware,
brushes, household furnishings, toys, iron ware, wagons, velocipedes and fancy
goods that you have need of. If so, we have always hoard our prices quoted as far
below anything named by any of our competitors.

CLOTHING DEPARTMENTS.
It has been apparent to the management that the gents' clothing department
has not been doing the business that we expect of il, or that it must do.
- • When we find a department in our stores slack we start in with that big knife
of ours and rip up the prioes. We can't afford to be idle. It is a bad example for
us, and also for our salespeople.
Witb a view to doing business in that department this week, and to move a •
lot of most desirable goods, which, however, seem to be slow sellers, we haye
marked down three lines of clothing, comprising various patterns. Competition
is out of the question. It is simply a matter of so much, loss to the house on each
suit that we sell.
We have four different lines of men's suits that were marked in our storeß on
Saturday at $10. The suit will be laid on our counters today at $5.50 You will
get the best value in clothing at this price that you will of any clothing concern
in the world.
Our $12.50 lines we have marked down to $7.50. There is a dead loss of $2.50
on every suit sold by the house.
Our $14 and $15 lines we have marked down to $8,80.
If this reduction in prices does not cause a stir.and bustle in our clothing de
partment this week, then we will take the whole lot and dump it where clothing
is more appreciated than it is in Los Angeles.
In men's pants at $1 50 and $1 85 we offer the best values known in the cloth
ing trade..
At $3 25 our all-wool pants are not to be matched, and as we climb in price up
to $6 you will notice that the cut In prices has been something remarkable.
We have ever found price a sure and effective lever to move anything that we
had to sell, if it was low enough to create a demand for it. We have not stopped
at our $15 suits, but all the wav up to $30 we have clipped off the wings untifour
$30 suits are today $21.60.
We intend to do business in this department, and when our new stock arrives
for fall trade- we will show you one of the handsomest, cleanest, best fitting and
best selected stocks thai ever came into Los Angeles.
Our boys'" clothing department is a constellation of bargains, each one
brighter than tbe other. We are oftimes surprised when picking up a suit and
noticing the price to find that one of that quality coold be made to sell at the
marked price.
If you will look in this department when in need of clothing, we are sure we
can do you good, and if we can't, we are just as much obliged.
SHOE DEPARTMENT.
All Saturday afternoon the manager of the Peoples' Store spent in picking out
the odds and ends, broken lots and goods that we wilt not carry in the future, and
marking them down from their prices out of sight.
We find that we have a number of linea of shoes, which, in our judgment, are
not as good as we desire to place before the public hereafter.
We propose to confine our ladies' shoes to three manufacturers. Likewise
with our men's.
We also find a good many children's and misses' heel shoes in stock which at
the present time are not as desirable as spring heels; also a number of men's but
ton shoes, the demand for which seems to be abating.
Our russets, tans and ooze shoes we have determined to close out entirely.
We have not the space to go into detail and tell you each price on the Bhoe, but
suffice it to say that we have cut misses' shoes that were formerly $3 to $1 a pair.
i We have cut men's shoes from $4.50 to $2i50 a pair.
Ladies' turned sole, fine kid shoes, reduced from $3.50 and $4 to $2.
i We will display these shoes in our show windows and convince you by their
striking prices that we are more than in earnest in the determination to close out
: these various lines.
We are discarding everything in the way of shoes that we cannot stand right
; back of, and when we put the shoe on your foo* feel confident ol the wear and sat
isfaction that it will give you.
In the future we will carry as good linas of shoes as it is possible to buy for
money, and we will sell them in the same proportion that we do everything else
that we handle.
The People's Store is desirous of enlarging its usefulness—desirous of increas
ing ita trade and the scope of its business. To do it, it recognises the necessity of
having two things: First, the confidence of the people in the quality and prices of
its wares; and next, give them such a class of goods at such a price as inspires
confidence both in the buyer and the seller.
DRUG DEPARTMENT.
We will not quote you any prices in this department, but simply call your
attention to the fact that we carry as complete a line of patent medicines, toilet
requisites, soap and druggists' sundries as can be found in the best appointed drug
store. We carry everything that is made in the line and by every manufacturer
and if there is anything that you may desire that we have not, we will secure it for
you, always guaranteeing our" prices being the lowest for the article.
Come in today and see what is left of the Murry Watt stock that you want.
