Rivkrbipr, Cal., Dec. 2(s.—The gentle
"norther." which thus far through the
recent cold week haa aaved the orange
crop of thia country from harm, ceaeed
to blow on Christmas evening, and the
result has been one of the coldest nights
on record. The mercury was below HO
for nearly ten hours, all over the
orange - growing sections oi M>i"
county, and it looks as though harm
must come to much of the fruit. The
signal service thermometer on the
higher side of the valley showed a mini
mum of 20 degrees, while in lees favor
able localities as low as 22 degrees is
reported. At Redlands from 22 degrees
to 28 degrees are the figures given. On

conditions. Pasadena reports 24 de
grees ; Alhambra, 20, and points through
the San Gabriel valley to Pomona about
the same.

times to beat the old man. They re
mained on the premises from 8 o'clock
at night till 3 o'clock in the morning,

San Francisco, Dec. 20.—Grand
Chief Ramsey, of the Brotherhood of
Telegraphers, who has assumed direct
charge of the trouble now pending be
tween the Southern Pacific and their
operators, was in consultation today
with repreaentativea of other orders of
, railway employees. He stated that
' nothing would be done today looking to
the settlement of the controversy, but
everything waa progreasing satis
factorily. A prominent railroad official
a said: "I am of the opinion that the
•trouble will be amicably settled to the
entire aatiafaction of both sides. The
operators, I understand, will be willing
to strike out the objectionable clause iv
reference to atudenta, and in return it
is probable the company will recall the
affidavits which have caused the
trouble."

BARCLAY'S PLIGHT.
A REAL, ESTATE MAN CHARGED
WITH FALSE PRETENSES.
Jesse *W. Woodruff Alleges that F. H.
Barclay Obtained Money by False
Pretenses by Means of a Mortgage.
Points ol the Case.
The examination of F. H. Barclay for
obtaining money under false pretenses
waa begun in the township court before
Justice Stanton yesterday.
Barclay has dealt very extensively in
real estate in this locality and one of hia
buaineßS transactions brought trouble
upon him. He claims that he has com-
nitted no offense, but hia actions in the
transaction by which Jease W. Wood
ruff swears he obtained money by fraud
were, to say the least, very peculiar.
Woodruff alieges that the defendant
obtained $2,205 from him by false repre
sentation. The money was obtained on
a promiisory notc,naymentof which was
secured by a mortgage on property at
Monte Vista where Barclay owns a num
ber of town lots.
The mortgage ia dated early in 1890
Woodruff says he waa asked by Bar
clay to loan him some money and went
out to see the property he Wanted to
mortgage. He drove out to Monte
Viata in company with hit wife and met
the defendant, who directed his atten
tion to the hotel property which con
tains three lota numbered 13, 14 and 15
of block 4. Woodruff thought a mort
gage on the building and ground ample
aecurity and advanced the amount
named above, and Barclay executed a
mortgage and delivered the instrument
to him.
Woodruff thought be had made a
good investment, and supposed until
recently that he held a mortgage on the
hotel property, but waa completely
turprieed aome few weeks ago to dis
cover that he had as security for hia
$2200 nt.thing more than three barren
lota. The arrest* of Barclay soon fol
lowed this discovery, and things look
rattier blue for the young man.
From the testimony of a man named
Morgenhaupt it appears tbat Barclay
secured a loan from him in the same
manberand by meana of the aame rep
reaentatioiiß a 8 in the case of Woodruff
His mortgage was given on the same
lots described in the mortgage given t>
Woodruff, and which he supposed waa
the hotel property, but afterwards
found them to be in anottier block. The
examination waa not concluded yester
day, and will be resumed at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
ORAVE9 ON THE RACK.
The Doctor Denies the Evidence of
Other Witnesses In His Trl.l.
Denver, Deo. 20 —In the Graves trial
thia morning, Attorney Stevens- an
nounced that after the examination of a
letter the prosecution withdrew all ob
jections to its being admitted in evi
dence. This is the letter which it is
claimed the doctor wrote to Mrs. Bar
naby in San Francisco at tbe time she
was on her way to Denver, and at about
the time the fatal buttle was mailed.
Its intention is to prove that the doctor
thought Mrs. Barnaby was in San Fran
cisco, and therefore he could not have
mailed the bottle to her in Denver, if
he thought she was elsewhere. Judce
Forman read the letter, which explained
to Mrs. Bnrnaby how to get the doctor's
checks cashed and told of the death of
his.brother. It was dated March 27th,
and was posted at Providence, March
30th. Stevens then said lie wished the
letter to go into evidence under the in
structions of the court. The letter was
passed from juror to juror and finally
handed back to Judge Furman. The
judge resumed the doctor's direct exam
ination, and he denied that be told Mrs.
Hickey that be engaged Dollie llanleyto
spy on Mrs. Barnaby. Ile'waa in Den
ver in March last with his brother's re
maine. This concluded hia direct exam
ination, and Mr. Stevens began his cross
examination.
The crofß-cxamination of Dr. Graves
waa lengthy. The doctor denied nearly
everything aworn to by other witnesses.
Or if he did not deny that testimony,
he would say he could not remember.
He acknowledged he did not attempt to
find out about the autoi sy or analysis of
Mra. Barnaby'a remaiua when he ar
rived here, notwithstanding'that he had
heard she waa poisoned. Instead of
thia he and a friend visited a ball game
on the day of his arrival. Dr. Graces
aaid he did not tell Worrell he thought
the Bennet family sent tbe bottle of
wliisky. He acknowledged being inter
viewed by Reporter Lincoln in the Pro
vidence telegraph office and said he
might have told Lincoln that Mra. Bar
naby had many lovers, and that some
of them were vile, but lie denied hav
ing paid he saw Mrs. Barnaby and Ed
ward Bennett in a compromising posi
tion. He acknowledged that the letter
he wrote to Mrs. Barnaby in regard to
putting a guardian over her, waa
pis own invention, and that the
executors of the' Barnaby estate knew
nothing of it. The proeecntion inquired
as to where $10,000 of .tfra. Barnaby'a
money, supposed to have been deposited
for her by Graves, was. He said hia
account books had been lost, but there
was no auch balance due Mra. Barnaby,
and that he had accounted for every cent
of her money. He denied having told
James H. Conrad tbat he sent a bottle
of whisky to Mrs. Barnaby.

FITZGERALD WON.
The Nebraska Railroad Contractor Gets
a Verdict for 11475,000.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 26. —In the dis
trict court of Lancaster county today
Judge Tibbetts awarded John Fitzgerald
$476 000 in his suit against the Fitz
gerald-Mallory Construction company
and the Missouri-Pacific Railway com
pany. The case is a complicated
one, and dates back some time in 1887,
when the Fitzgerald & Mallory Con
struction company, of which plaintiff
was the head, took a contract for build
ing a line of railway from Chetopa, Kan.,
to the Colorado line, about 150 miles,
known at the time as the Denver, Mem
phis and Atlantic railway. The contract
price was $16,000 per mile, to be paid in
first mortgage bonds. During its con
struction the line waa purchased by the
Missouri Pacific, and Jay Gould, Rus
sell Sage, George Gould and Sidney
Dillon asked, it is said, to be allowed to
enter the Fitzgerald partnership. They
succeeded, and wheujthe road was com
pleted, it is asserted, secured pay for
themselves for construction, leaving
Fitzgerald out. Fitzgerald sued for
.$1 ,f>uO,ooo, and the case has dragged
since December, 1888. Notice of appeal
on the parts of defendants was filed.

The Los Angeles Team Cains a
Victory.
Yeeterday'B game of ball at the new
Athletic park waß an easy victory for the
Los Angelea boys, who dropped onto
Reilly's curvea and batted him all over
the field. The game waa maraed all the
way through by good fielding and fine
base running.
The grounds are in auch excellent con
dition and bo large they give the fielders
plenty of chance to distinguish them
selves, and they did it.
The grand stand plays werenumeroua,
but Hassemer's home run in the fifth
inning aeemed to pleaae the crowd beat,
and it waa a beauty, Contilion picking
up the ball fully 500 feet from the
home plate.
Fogarty also mside several brilliant
plays, and his batting and base running
were a feature of the game, lie having
made four runs out of five chances.
Stanley for the All Stars caught a
good game, and McDonald played well
at second, but Captain Brown at first
and Denny at third had not fully recov
ered from their Christmas turkey.

Badly Snowbound.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 20.—A1l day yes

Nebraska. In the western part of the
state the weather turned intensely cold,
the wind blew at a terrific rate ami snow
fell in great quantitieß. Traffic on all
the railroads in the atate ia seriously de
tained, and in many cases along the
western division of the Union Pacific
trains are blockaded. The snow drifted
furiously. Stock suffered intensely.
The farmers feel partially
for the loss in stock iv the fact
of having their winter wheat well pro
tected. In the interior portion
a heavy fall of enow occurred before it
turned* ao cold, conaequently winter
grain is protected. The storm extended
throughout Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming
and the Dakotaa. In Wyoming the loss

WE WISH YOU ALL A VERY j$-
HAPPY
NEW
YEAR
Before Closing the Business of the Year 1891,
\~\ T~E WISH TO STATE A FEW PLAIN, OPEN FACTS TO
the public and our many kind patrons. It's nearly one year
since we opened our new and elegant stores. Many of our
friends and competitors remarked tbat we were not in it; entirely too
far out —in fact, thought we were at the end of the proceasion ; but the
far-seeing public soon found out it paid them very handsomely to walk
a block out of their way to get proper treatment and extra good value
for their money. We convinced the people they were right, and found
our business steadily increasing through our method of conducting buai
ness. For the paat eleven months we have advertiacd very extensively ;
in fact, we could not avoid it, it waa positively necessary to do so in
order to let the public know w here we were. We are aatiafied we have
done our duty and the people know where to find ua. Aa soon as our many
advertising contracta expire we will enter upon a new ayatem of advertis
ing, name] V: Our chow windowB and etorea and the way we handle our
trade, shall clearly demonstrate our values are better, our variety larger
andjprices lower than any other house in Los Angelea. It costs lots of
hard cash to advertise ; some one has to pay for it. That aome one ia the
people. We ahall transact buainess on business principles only, and make
every cuatomer a walking advertisement. It can be done and ahall be
done. Our pricea muat do the talking hereafter. Now then, there's
another matter we wiah to talk about. We shall commence shortly to
take our annual inventory, and prefer the cash in the bank to the stock
on our countera. To attain the former we muat reduce the latter, and in
order to gratify our deaire, we have made auch cuta and conceasiona in
pricea that will surely move aome gooda out of our house.

President Peixotto Heaps Coals of Fire
on His Head.
Rio de Janeiro, Dec. 26.—The fallen
dictator haa been treated with the ut
most consideration by President Peix
otto, who, in a manifeato juat issued,
warmly praises "Fonaeca's abnegation
and patriotism in spontaneously resign
ing the presidency to avoid strife be
tween brethren, the shedding of Bra
zilian blood and a collision between
comrades in arms," and says: "The
generous factors of the immortal move
ment of November 15th are destined to
defend the nnited or national honor and
the integrity of our country against for
eign aggreßaion, and to maintain inter
nal order and republican institutions."
The printing offices of two journals that
supported General Deodoro's adminis
tration, were destroyed Wednesday by a
mob. This is the only circumstance
that has tarnished the victory of the
Constitutionalists. This victory seems
to eratify every one except the adher
ents of the dictator. General Peixotto,

A Doctor Who Refused a Fortune. fjj
Dr. Gower, of Brighton, carried in his
pocket a competency for life when he
left the house on Walsingham terrace'
with the knowledge of ParneU's death; j
for Parnell died at midnight, and thej
doctor could have realized a fortune by j
selliug the exclusive news of the event to]
any of the richer papers in London or]
New York.
It was so when Gambetta died at 5 in
the morning. At midnight he was pro-J
nounced convalescent. The death watch;
of reporters was relaxed. Yet one ofj
them, a Frenchman, member of a email
Parisian news agency, came out of a wine,
shop at early morning and saw a maid]
servant running across the grass. ■
"The master is dead," she called to
him. He stood there in great perplexity.!
To whom should he sell the news? He,
hesitated between the Paris, London;
and New York papers. He finally cabled (
thus, "Gambetta died at 5 this morn-J
ing." The dispatch reached a New York
office at ten minutes before 2, there 1
being five hours difference between Paris
and New York. Half a page of accom-j
panying matter was given to the com-]
positors, and at twenty minutes past 3
the whole story was on its way to the!
stereotypers. t
The reporter is still living on the pro-'
ceeda of his "beat;" and the sensation of i
Gambetta's death was nothing to thatofj
Parnell.—New York Truth. }
Did Two Foolish Things.

sold the sugar at tho same price as that
made from pure 6ap."—Congregation
