The Pearl street gang of sneak thieves is at work again, several residents re porting the loss of articles carelessly left about tbe grounds. Tbe regular meeting of the board of fire commissioners should have been held yesterday, but the mayor was in court and none of the other members - materializing no meeting was held. The Southwest News is much im proved nnder the new management. It n a bright, spicy little sheet, with con siderable backbone, and a worthy rep resentative of tbe southwestern part of the city and outskirts. The council, the superintendent of streets, the city engineer, and such citi sena and experts as desire to be present, will visit Figueroa street today and examine the quality of the pavement laid on tbat «tre£t, between Pico and Washington streets.

Mayor Hazard went into court yester day and argued the case growing out of the injunction sued ont by the City Water company, enjoining the board of park commissioners from tearing down a certain fence across the Elysian park boulevard, otherwise called "the burro trail." The injunction waß so modified as to permit tbe improvement of the road, and work was promptly resumed. William B. Tribbell waa yesterday brought to the receiving hospital from tbe Natick house.

At his own request, and tbat of some citizens who interested themselves ia his bebalf, be was sent to the county kospital. The Express refrained yesterday from saying anything about the capture of Vasquez. It said nothing in reply to Captain Harris' invitation to name a place and time for covering the wager swoposed by the blatant One Who .Knows. It is not probable tbat there jmpt any necessity for waiting frr the Arizona mail to come /in.

The Test for the Primary KUetlon De cidedly Modified—A Large Num ber of Protestants Put Into the Tureen. The executive committee of the Re publican county central committee held a meeting in the California bank block yesterday aiternoon. Nobody aaid anything about the meeting being a Becret one, and as the time set for Ihe gathering approached, or a hundred men gathered in the committee rooms and the hall leading to it. One or two of the num ber were reporters, and the others were members of the local g. o. p., who came with a purpose, and rather grimly ex pressed a determination to gain their purpose or break something. The hour set for the meeting was 3 o'clock, bnt it was half an hoar later be fore Col. R. J. Northern, chairman, and members of the executive commit tee arrived, to find the room crowded with political brethren, whose feces ex pressed anything but fraternal feeling. W. F. X, Parker, secretary of the committee, remarked tbat this was a private meeting of the executive com mittee ; and thereupon the reporter, tbe political brethren, and all others, not members of tbe committee, except Henry Gage, were incontinently fired out of tbe room. They went only so far that the door could be shut upon tbem. They gath ered in groups and made remarks un pleasant to hear when it is desired to have a large stock of unanimity on hand. There were two delegations present, and there was not the slightest difficulty in learning what tbey wanted. The county central committee, some days since, appointed judges and clerks for the primary elections. The appoint ments were not altogether satisfactory, and tbe delegation wanted them changed, »nd proposed to ccc those changes made "if it took a leg" or broke up the party. THB SEVENTH WARD'S KICK Soon there came out from the inner sanctuary word to the effect that the ex ecutive committee would listen to a committee of three representing the Seventh vjard. The door opened and closed upon tbe entering forms of Messrs. Vignes and Phillips, accom panied by Attorney Knox, as spokes man. There was no beating about the bush in the presentation of tbe case from the Seventh ward. The county central committee had appointed to act as judges of the piimary election, to be held on the 2d instant, Messrs. Colley, Blennerhassett and Snell. The delega tion then present juat outside tbe door, asked that one of these appointees be removed, and a man satisfactory to the delegation be appointed in bia atead. Tbe delegation preeent just outside the door, consisted oi fifty men, every one a voter and every one a property owner. They demanded that Borne change ia the personnel of the primary election board be made and expressed a decidedfcbn viction that the refusal to make the change indicated, would "cost the Re publican ticket 1000 votes in the Seventh ward." The committee having been heard, the objectionable judges were ordered to appear. After some strong efforts on the part of Fred Smith, they were cor ralled and rounded up in front of the chairman's table. They were asked if they were honest and honorable men, and, upon their giving an affirmative reply, tbe executive committee of tbe county central committee announced tbeir decision. No change would be made in tbe election officers appointed, but in such wards as protests might be made, the protestants would be allowed the privilege of having two representa tives in the room during the progress of the election. This decision being made known, tbe fifty members of the delegation from the Seventh ward passed sorrowfully out, some of them grumbling low and others swearing loudly. THE SECOND WARD'S PLAINT. A committee of three, from the dele gation from the Second ward, was then allowed a hearing. Their demand was even more definite than that of the kickers who preceded tbem. In the Second ward, Messrs. Vickery, Clarke and McCall had been appointed judges of the primary elec tion. Messrs. Vickery and Clarke were satisfactory to the kickers in the ward, but Mr. McCall was not. It was asserted tbat bis name was not on the great register, and not in the city directory; that no one knew anything of Mr. Mc- Call than tbat someone had said he wae a politician from Ban Francisco, im ported for the express purpose of run ning the ward primaries of this city. The committee, on behalf of the delega tion, asked that Mr. McCall be removed from the election board aud J. F. Fos mir appointed in hiß stead. The matter was promptly decided, and the committee informed that the same rule would apply as that govern ing the case from the Seventh ward. HOW THB KICKERS FELT. The committee and the delegation loaded themselves into the elevator, and one was heard to remark that at the last election the second ward had downed a Republican candidate, and this time if they didn't secure the de feat of the whole county ticket, it would be simply because all the Republican voterß jn the ward, voting the wrong way, couldn't accomplish that result, and the others expressed their agree ment. THB CAMPAIGN OPENING. Then the committee resumed consid eration of the business for the transac tion of which the meeting was called. After some discussion, it was decided to open the campaign on the 3d of Sep tember, with a great deal of noise and such music as could be obtained; also some speeches. THAT OBJECTIONABLE TEST. Then the matter of tbe test for voters at the primaries came up. Heretofore tbe test question read: "Will you sup port Harrison and Reid and Hervey Lindley?" Now it reads: "Will you support the Republican ticket at the coming election?" and the change was made without any noise or excitement at all. A JOURNAL RECOGNIZED, Joe. Phillis, one of tbe proprietors of the Industrial Age, was permitted to Why not buy the Best ? (fewiantfs baking powder. The U. S. Govt, buys it. Teachers of cookery and chose who know most about foods use and recommend it. appear before the committee and ask for recognition. On« of the members baviug expressed his appreciation of the irreat end irloriOTjg work which had been done by that well unknown organ, it was voted that the sum of $15 be appro priated in payment for the onblication in that paper of the call for Republican primaries; provided always, and those present were npon the express condition that the publishers look to the incom ing dommittee for their money, the treasury of the present committee being empty. Thereupon the meeting adjourned, having laid a substantial foundation for disappointment when tha votes of the Second and Seventh wards are counted in November. HE HAD THE BLUES. George Lowe'* Attempt at Suicide Yes terday. George Lowe was yesterday brought to the receiving hospital suffering from an incised wound in tbe throat, and an other across bis left wrist. Lowe is a man of 50 who came to Los Angeles from the Calico mining district two or three weeks ago. He is a victim of ep ilepsy, and was also troubled with some disease of the eyes, for the treatment of which be came to this city. Lowe went to bed at the Voss bouse early Tuesday night, but failed to ap pear at his usual time yesteiday morn ing. The fact that bis door was locked showed that the man had not left the house, and as he failed to answer any summons, the police were notified, and Officer Ditewig responded, and forced an entrance into tbe room. Lowe was found lying on the bed, bleeding from a gash in hie throat and another on his wrist. The quantity of blood on the beddidg and the floor indi cated that the wounds were serious, bnt upon examination by Dr. Bryant at the receiving hospital, they were found to be but little more than skin deep, hav ing been inflicted with a dull penknife. The cuts were sewed up and Lowe made as comfortable as possible, and some friends appeared and took him back to tbe Voss bouse, where he will be properly cared for. He had been drinking rather freely of late, and, it is supposed, ran out of money,and became co despondent as to attempt suicide. He is not now believed to be in danger of serious results from his wounds. MAHONEY'S BOULEVARD. The Work of a Lot Angelea Contractor at Santa Barbara A well known Los Angeles contractor, J. J.
