•old wtter before the chain on the rope
worked correctly.
When tenderly lifted from his peril
cm situation it was ascertained he was
almost dead. Proper restoratives
brought him through, and the other
Bine men in, tbe vessel were sot off, but
not without-considerable difficulty, sev
eral of them' and their brave rescuers
boing almost drowned before the last
anan was safety landed on shore.
TUB VESSEL BREAKING.
The vessel was breaking to pieces
rapidly and nothing now remained of
the masts exeeptt a portion of the mi/.
■enmest which waa partly gone; the
bowsprit disappeared when she struck
the wharf. The rudder was knocked off
oa striking the bench and her sides be
ing badly battered aud strained, and
altogether within a few minutes the
•rand, tine looking bark which, a half
hour before was a pride to its owners,
was now a dilapidated looking wreck.
The deck load of lumber was washing
aebore and the timbers coming in con
tact with the sailors on being rescued
■cade the saving of the crew a dangerous
one and several narrow escapes were
averted.
THB CAPTAIN THB LAST MAN OFF.
The captain was the last man .to leave
■He vessel. He was interviewed by a
Herald reporter shortly after reaching
dry land. Captain Sprague is a young
man, probably 35 years of age, but has
followed tbe aea most of hia life), and ie
considered a reliable and carefal man.
The skioper felt very badly over the loss
of hia vessel. He could not account for
the breaking ol the chains around the
windlaea. The anchor did not drag, but
150 fathoms of chain were lost, which
will be recovered.
The Jewett waa built at Port Ludlow
in 1887 and cost about |30.000. Her
cargo waa valued at $8000. The vessel
wae owned by the Gardner Mill company
of San Francisco, with the exception of
a one-fourth interest.
Tbe captain owned one-edghth and the
Kenkhoff-Cuzner Lumber company of
this city tbe other eightfa. The cap
tain's porticn was insured lor $2000 and
also tbe Keickboff-Cuzner'B'part but for
how much ia not known. It is likely
tbe Gardner Mill company is fully in
sured, but the captain thinks not.
Tbe captain saved all ad his instru
ments and papers. The unfortunate
sailors lost their all. They ale thankful
that their lives were saved.
THB THEMBNDOITS SSBtAS.
To give the reader an idea of the
height of the angry waves, after the
vessel strnck the beach the crew
ascended the mizzen rigging, to prevent
themselves from being wasbsed into the
sea. Tbe inhabitants of Redondo state
it was tbe worst blow Redondo had ever
experienced within their knowledge.
The Redondo Beach eomjeany is in no
way responsible for the wrecking of the
vessel, they lent every asaicptance. The
captain and crew speak in the highest
terms of those who bravely rescued them
and the timely aid given.
THE WRECK'S POSITION.
The vessel, or at least what is left of
her, lies exactly opposite to the casino,
between the bath honse aisd the wharf.
When the tide was at its height yester
day and the waves were constantly
sweeping over the ill-fated ship it was
a beautiful sight, one seldom witnesaed.
The craft was gradually being hnrled
higher on the beach, and being broken
to pieces at every bound.
All last evening anothisr heavy gale
prevailed, and it is donbtmd ii much of
tbe vessel will be lett by this morning,
if the wind keeps np its fury. Moat
bill of the lumber will no 'tonbtbe aaved.
THB BAILORS SUFI'BBINfJ.
Late last night it was learned that
several of the rescued sailors were
liable to die from expoanre. The un
fortunate seamen were pit tbe mercy of
the chilly waters and ibarful gale for
hours.
All of the crew are fin c specimens of
manhood, bnt the orcleai has made
some of them suffer from tbe awful
torture they had to pass through.
They are receiving every attention. The
loss of their clothing is keenly felt by
tbe poor fellows, bat the will receive all
the immediate relief they require.
The wharf will be repaired immedi
ately. Bnt for the skillful efforts ol tbe
captain and crew the aivtire structure
might have been carried away by the
fast drifting vessel that twas doomed to
go to pieces. _
At Santa Monica.
At Santa Monica the wind waa very
high, but the wharf did not seem to feel
tbe waves, the water being smooth.
The Corona laid alongside for two hours
discharging her cargo. The>swells break
ing nnder the wharf seemed to form a
counter cnrrent, which made smooth
water on-each side.
The fishing sloop Caroline, with a crew
ol two men, (Meson and Haskell, loat
bar mast last night abont midnight sev
eral miles out at sea dnring the gale.
The boat was washed ashore ait the
eafion. The two men were pickied up
by tne tug Collia and are safe on board
of her.
The big wharf could not have had a
more severe teet than thia gale, but waa
as solid and devoid oi tremora as on a
summer day. _
At Newport.
Newport, Feb. 10.—The Prosper, a
lain veaael laden witb 91)0.000 ieet of
lumber, dragged her anchor nnder the
pressure oi the gale and waa blown onto
a eand-epit, where she stuck, fast, but
fortunately no damage wae done, and
"aha remains in shape to be pulled off as
soon as tbe weather becomes sufficiently
calm. The big Newport wharf sustained
no damage.
No Danger of Blockades.

mountain division of the Central Pacific
railroad raged for 48 honrs bnt stopped

Carson, Nev. Feb. 10.—As yet no clue
to the person who robbed the car of the
Virginia and Truckee pay box. The
express company ia not responsible for
tbe lose, as the money was merely
placed there by tbe paymaster of the
mills for convenience. The end door of
the express car waa only secured by a
small bolt. The Joor waa smashed in
with a aledge hammer; and aa all the
blows were immediately over the bolt it
is evident the deed waa committed by
some one familiar with the position of
the bolt. Messenger Gage ia bard of
hearing, and owing to the rattle of the
train did not hear the noise of tbe
blows on the outside of the door. He
says that when tbe man entered tbe car
and commanded him to throw up hia
hands he waa compelled to comply, aa
his gun was out of reach. The
men demanded the tin box con
taining the money. When informed
it was in the otber end of the car he
made Page get it. Page claima hie
record Bhowa that he will fight when
ever a chance ia offered, but says whon
a man has the drop on bim he treata
him the beat he knowa how.
The paymaster of the mills refuses to
divulge the amount in the box, but it is
variously estimated at between $1000
and $7000.
Reno, Nev., Feb. 10. —An unknown
man who boarded a Virginia and
Truckee train at Carson tonight was
arrested here on suspicion of being tbe
man who robbed the express car at Car

LOS ANGELES HERALD; SUNDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 11, 1894.
GORGEOUS NIGHT FETES.
The trail or Foinnelt to Bo Otven Id
Ihle City.
For reveral days past a number of
< uul.c-spirited citizens, interested in
LioruoCag tbe wellare of this city,
have been considering the poasibility
of a carnival season during the month
of April, and to that end have arranged
with Jaa. Tain & Sons to send a repre
sentative here to consult with them aa
to tbe leaaibiiity of producing in Los An
geloe their gorgeous historical spectacle,
The Lnßt Days of 1 :., ■
Mr. O. E. Skiff, manager of the Paine,
came here for that purpose, and alter
consulting with railroad companies re
garding extensive and numuroua ex
cursions, has reported favorably on this
proposition, and it now rests with tbe
citizens of Loa Angelea if they may have
the same great attraction that bas
proven euch a drawing power to the
citieß of the eaat, for whenever this
out of door spectacle haa been given
thousands and thousands of visitors
have flocked to tne city to witness it.
Tbe magnitude of this work may be
realized when it ie understood that the
exhibits proposed for Los Angeles will
be identically the same as given by the
Messrs. Fain at Coney Island, N. V.,
Chicago during the world's fair and
other metropolitan cities of the eaet,
representing a cost of nearly $50,000.
The spectacle is given in the open air,
nearly six acres of ground being re
quired for the buildings, mountain, etc.
An immense smpitheater is erected,
seating some 12,000 persona. A great
lake is prepared, representing the bay
of Naples. Then tbe city of Pompeii is
built with real buildings, such aa the
famous Temple of Isis, bath bouaea,
ampitheater, arches, with Mount Ve
suvius in the distance; the city bo built
being afae simile of the ancient Pompeii
in style of architecture, streets, etc.
Some 51)0 people participate in the
fetes given nightly, including all the
ancient Koman sports, games and pas
times, with gorgeous processions of
priests, choir boys, and Koman guards,
gladiatorial contests, beautiful dance of
the flower girls, etc., etc., each exhibit
culminating with the realistic eruption
of Vesuvius and complete destruction of
the city. In addition to this there ie
given nightly an extensive dieolay of
Pain's flreworke, such aa was given at
the World's Columbian expoaition.
It is proposed to give 15 of these ex
hibits in Los Angelea, giving three per
week, thus extending over a period oi
five weeks —advertising extensively
every city within excursion distance of
this city, believing this great work will
arouße the interest of every one far and
near and prove a wonderful stimulus to
business by drawing thousands to tbe
city during this carnival season.
While the expense of the undertaking
ia great, the promotere feel warranted
in proceeding, providing sufficient en
couragement can be secured by the Bale
of season boxes, which will be erected
in tbe grand stand. Here ie an oppor
tunity for Los Angelea, for if the specta
cle ia given here it will surely create
just what the city now wants to enhanse
its commercial interests.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Santa Anll» Buuch on Sale at
A uctlun.
The Santa Anita ranch of Lucky Bald
wla 19 the moat celebrated piece ol
property in Southern California. It
comprises a vaat extent of the very
richest coil in the world, and ie provided
with a plentiful eupply of water. Mr.
Baldwin haa decided to meet the popu
lar demand for email homee and baa put
a large portion of the "jy^'" £ D *jpsßn t9
Eldridge & Company for aale at auction,
Saturday, February 24th, on the prem
ises.
The portion selected compriaea the
very choicest part of the famoue San
Uabriel valley, and ia highly suitable
for ail the moßt profitable forms of fruit
culture, —walnuts, oranges, lemons,
limea, almonda, and the vine are unex
celled in their development, and large
returns in that neighborhood, as is con
clusively ahowu by the grovea and vine
yards owned by Mr. Baldwin.
This aale will give people of email
meana an opportunity of buying tbe
very cream of Southern California landa,
which otherwiee would be beyond their
meana. Mo finer location for homes or
fruit culture can be found in the world,
and as the aale ia without reserve or limit
there is no question but what many will
avail themaelvea of the grand opportun
ity offered at this auction aale, Saturday,
February 24th. On tine day, Messrs.
Eaeton, Eldiidge A: Co. will rnn one of
their special firtt-claes excuraions to tbe
property, and it will without doubt be
tbe largest excursion train ever having
left Los Angeles.
A number of citizens vißited the city
ball yesterday and examined the new
plane for the Third street tunnel, drawn
last month by (Jity Engineer Dock
weiler, in accordance with a motion ol
Mr. Muneon, adopted by the city coun
cil. The idea ia to build on a cheaper
basis than that propoeed by the planß
of four years ago, and yet have the tun
nel ample and substantial enough for
all poaeible travel and traffic. The
length ia 1054 feet, againet 1080 feet in
the old plana, and the cost will run lit
tle if any above $100,000, whereas the
old coat waa about $150,000. From Hill
to the e&at portal ol the tunnel ia only 1
in 33 grade, and from the west portal at
Hope to Flower street the grade is 1 in
49, making a very eaay means of quick
communication between tbe western hill
section and the main body ol tbe city.
This improvement ia regarded as juet
as important aa bridges and viaducts for
tbe use of the whole city and should
therefore be paid for by the city aa a
whole, and not made a burden on a
special district.
Last evening waa the regular semi
monthly meeting of the Fourth Ward
Equal Suffrage league, which waa well
attended. Seven new names were
sdded to the liat of membership, two
ol whom were gentlemen, and aeveral
vißitora from the Woman's Suffrage as
sociation, who very harmoniousry parti
cipated in the discussion of How Are
We to Get There ? We have a third E.
B, L., and two weeks ago organized the
E. S. L. of Eagle Rock valley, whose
members are established workers.
