Martin Masters From San Fran

He Throws Some Light on Ur. Estee's
.Nomination.

•Vonetfrans Next Month.
* 24ews Notes*
Tbe Herald man had oeoasion to
visit tbe lower end of the Eighth ward
yesterday, and was introduced to Mr.
Martin Masters, a visiting statesman
from San Francisco, Id.. Masters, who,
by the way, has done a little business in
the prise ring, is a stannch iriend and
admirer of Col. Dan Burns, who he af
fectionately terms "de high muok-a
rnuck of de whole gang which does poli
tics in de oity."
Mr. Mastery was loud in his denuncia
tion of the long-hairs throughout the
etate who are hading fault with Dan for
tho way be nominated Estee.
Said Mr. Masters: "You know Dan ia
a police commissioner in the city, and
he can make tbe gang do just what he
wants, and in return tbey can have a
wink from the police ii they don't at
tempt to turn too big a trick.
"We just turned loose in the primary
election, and de kernel grabbed the
whole 102 delegates to the Sacramento
convention. Yon bet your life we was
.'or the programme, and don't you forget
we stood up. Every man reported for
duty, and got his paper on the railroad
right from the kernel's private office.
"Somo of tbe gang had to sign a writ
ten pledge to vote accordin' to orders
before tbey could get on the delegations
in their precincts,'
"You can roast Dan just as much aa
you like aud it don't phase him, because
he holds the top hand, and the kickers
bave got to stand in or go down.
"Why don't the long-hairs take
tbeir medicine and quit kicking? They
oan't beat the kernel this heat, nohow.
Why, see how tbey worked tho conven
tion. The day before old Estee was
nominated tbe gang got passes from
headquarters ajd went opto Sacramento
250 strong under tbe leadership of Billy
and Johnny Abbott from Los Angeles,
whp went up for Charley Webber, Tom
Ward, wbo killed Officer Rickenbaugh
in a saloon row down here on Alameda
street about a year ago, the banjo-oyed
kid, Hector Brady, Tim Sullivan, Retidy
Gallagher, Fatty Walsh, Tom Culleu
and 'Big Necked' Smith. We got our
'ed Estee badges at the depot and had
nlerj to turn loose as soon as Estee was
oininated and shout lor Burns and
£stee.
"We was told to yell for a man I won't
name for lientenant governor, but Web
ber and Lindley traded something or
other with thu kernel for a guy named
Millard, and we give him a rally during
the night.
"Say, is that Millard the same mug
tbat 'went out' in a pnnch from a kid
named Widney, tbat the Examiner
wrote up? If ho is the same guy he
won't catch my vote —see?"
Mr. Maatara at thia point grew enthu
siastic in bia description of how the
gang whooped it up for Estee, and gave
a vivid word picture of how the "kernel"
tnrned the champagne loose with the
gang. He was really dramatic when he
told how Burns mado the speech of his
life in a saloon next door to the Golden
Eagle hotel about 1 o'clock in tbe morn
ing, with Frank Rhoades, tbe boss gam
bler of Sacramento, leaning on his arm.
Said Burns: "Boys, I believe ingrati
tude, and tonight I am happy because I
have paid off a big debt I owed Esise
lince the time I was in trouble, and I
jvuut you all to 'fill 'em up' and drink to
Estee and my friend Rboadea, who stood
by me with 30 votes from Sacromento."
Mr. Masters informed the admiring
srowd that the kernel had "his ekatos"
.- on, and insisted on three cheers for ths
gang.
"We was going to stay np in Sacra
mento until tne oonveution was through,
but some of the boys got too irieky and
wa got orders to go home, and then
these long-haired guys want to "turn
the kernel down." Why they aint next
to themsnlvea, tbe kernel ia figuring to
go to the United Statea senate before he
gets through, and he wiil do it, yon can
bet your life.
"Say where is Hervey Lindley'soffice?
I want to catch on with him, aa be is
next to the kernel and must be all right
with tbe gang."'
Before the scribe took his departure it
was intimated that Mr. Masters was
under an alias down here, pending the
settlement, out of court, of a little
difficulty in which he was mixed up in
San Francisco.
While Mr. Masters' description is
couched in tbe language peculiar to the
district south oi Market street, it is
every word true, asoau be testified to by
every newspaper man who was on the
ground in Sacramento during the excit
ing period covered by the story as told
above.
"It was amid just auch scenea and by
just such methods that Dan Hums se
cured the nomination of Morris M.
Estee," said ap rominent Republican to
whom tbe Herald man repeated Mr.
Master's atory for verification, and it ts
because of tboae facts that thousands of
tbe respectable conservative element in
the Republican party will vote againat
Mi. Eatee ou November 6tb.
Said the same gentleman: "James
McLachlan waa nominated by practic
ally the same crowd. Blackstock, an
attorney for ti 3 Southern Pacific Rail
road company in Ventura county, was
chosen chairman of tbe district conven
tion and the secretary was an employee
el the railroad, and yet we are told by
the Evening Express that McLachlan is
uot a railroad man. I will venture tbe
itatement that 9 out of every 10 dele
gates in the Sixth district convention
procured free transportation to and
from Sacramento.
"Hervey Lmdley and Charles Webber
were in obarge of tbe transportation at
thia end of tho line, as can be proven
beyond question by a telegram received
by a ward politician in thia city, in
which he waa referred to Hervey Lindley
ior his passes.
"The Express people overdo tbe thing;
they haven't a word to say about tho
county ticket, and I tell you the county
candidates are all glad as tbey fear to
be classed as railroad candu'atoj if it
Bupporta them. Every evening there
are from two to three columna of abuae
oi While and Patton. White ia not a
candidate, but the loss of-the custom
house is laid up againat him— that'a a
personal matter and ol course the at
tacks on Patton are paid for by Hunt
ington. That, said an old newspaper
man who was standing by, ia what aur
prises me at Mills ;ho ought to know
better than to waste money on Buch
a sheet as the Expross, which has only
a small circulation and smaller influence.
Besides which it repeats a lot of old
stale, flat and unprofitable fabrications
each day. Old hoary fellows, now for
inatance that one about Patton.becom
ing a millionaire if the deep-water
harbor is located at Han Pedro, when
every one knows he doesn't own one acre
of land there. Then nasn't Lindley been
aiwava with the railroad, and haven't
the LxpreßS crowd and atcLacblao and
George Arnold always been with Her
vev, and yet they are etnpid enough to
think people will vote for McLachlan
beoause they lie about Georgo Patton.
For mv part I nm going to vote for Pat
ton; the tariff fight is over, and there
won't be any patronage to give away, as
there ia a Democratio president, and tho
harbor issue is the only one that inter
ests us particularly, and old Huntiniton
and the ISxpress want him, aud for that
reason, aa well as many others, he don't
go with me, and I rarely scratch."
THE FL'ENTE MILETIXCJ.
From an account written to the Heb
ald, it is learned that tha Democratio
meeting there Tuesday night was tbe
largest political gathering ever assem
bled there. People came from Lemon
station, Ooviua, Azusa and neigh boring
towns. SDanish-Ainerican voters, irre
spective of party, were in attendance.
At 8 p. m. tbe large assemblage was
called to order by Wm. B, Rowland,
esq., as chairman. The drat epeaicer
introduced was Mr. Crisp, candidate for
supervisor in the district, and who was
attentively listened to when quoting
figures of extravagance in the conduct
of our county government and to tbe
large expenditures in tbe road fund, and
while tbe roads are bad.
Abbot Kinney, esq., candidate for tbo
assombly, waa presented, and while no
stranger to the people of this vicinity,
lie further cemented tbeir confidence in
hia ability and integrity, end from all
indications tha Puunte valley will show
its appreciation for a worthy legislator.
The third sneaker was E. 0. Bower,
esq., candidate for district attorney, He
held hia auditors for 20 minutes while
speaking of tbe conduct oi the legal
affairs of the county and the auma of
money that may be avoided in expendi
turea under a judicious and able admin
istration of the legal adviser of our
connty. He referred to his opponent,
Major Donnell, in complimentary terms,
contrary to the reierence to Ding made
by hie Republican adversary. This
gentlemanly and refined conduot on the
part of Mr. Bower gained for him the
confidence and respect ol hie hearers,
and Puente can be relied upon aa rolling
np a handsome majority ior Mr. Bower,
onr comiiiK district attorney.
Mr. A. Orfila, the attorney from Loa
Angeles, was the next speaker, and in a
forcible, eloquent and convincing argu
ment, presented to hia listeners the
reasons why the Democratic party mer
its tbe support ol all.
He reviewed and compared the etate
and county platiorms of the Republican
and Democratic parties, and earnestly
urged all to vote the straight ticket.
He alluded to the county candidates, in
dividually and collectively, ac represent
ative and competent aspirants for the
pesitions which they seek.
His argument on behalf of Sheldon
Borden for judge, E. 0. Bower for dis
trict attorney and Dr. Ohoate for coroner
wus impressive and well received.
When he concluded his speech in
English he immediately addressed the
large Spanish audience in their native
language. Hia address to them waa
almost exclusively on the subject of
ostracism and what tbe Republican
convention did aud what the A. P. A.
are now attempting to accomplish. He
made some telling points and was
tumultuoußly applauded. Hia address
to the wives and mothers, many of
whom were present, had the desired
effect, ior at its conclueion many agod
women came forward and warmly ehook
his hand, congratulating him on his ad
vice and admonition, and at having
herd the A. P. A. question fairly and
squarely presented to them.
The cheering at tbe conclusion of Mr.
Orfila's address was deafening.
Mr. Orfila was followed by an old gen
tleman farmer, whose name, unfor
tunately, we can not now recall.
His speech was full of reasoning and
stories appropriate to the occasion. He
eloquently urged all to support the
whole ticket, from Jim Budd to the
road overseer.,
At 11 p.m. the meeting was closed by
Chairman Rowland with three hearty
cheers for Budd and tbe best political
meeting ever held in La Puonte.

BIG CIRCUS COMING.
THE NEW GREAT SYNDICATE
SHOWS HERE FRIDAY.
The People Aro Getting; Raady to
Take In the Hit Attraction
on Friday and Sat
urday.
Tho new Great Syndicate ehowa, one
of the largest and best circusea and me
nageries traveling, ia advertised to ex
hibit in Lob Angeles two days only,
Friday and'Saturdav, Octobsr 19th and
20th.
Tbe Seattle Post-Intelligencer of July
24th speaks of thia show as follows:
The circus was in town yesterday, and
the Great Syndicate show with ita ag
gregation of wild animals, men, women,
horses, chariots and band, all in glitter
ing paraphernalia, again had tbe fasci
nating power of drawing out old and
young, who crowded the principal
atreets in the morning to see tho parade
and crowdod the immense oanvas that
covers the show, both afternoon and
evening, to enjoy a performance that
was full of pleasing interest from firat to
last. There ia a fascination about a
circus that irrosietihly attracts old aa
well aa young, be the performance ever
so poor, but doubly so when the enter
tainment is satisfactory, and this latter
waa the general verdict of the nearly
10,000 people who crowded the tent
during the afternoon and evening. It
waa a good, clean, healthy performance,
with several very amnsing clowns tbat
kept the little ones wishing for them all
tbe time. The wardrobe of the com
pany ia a feature, being clean, bright
and of course glittering and dazzling to
the young folks.
"The performance, which is given in
two rings and a piatform, covera a pro
gramme in which some exceedingly
clevor people do many wonderful tricks.
Tne programme is long, and were it not
for the rapidity with which the act?,
eucceed one another, and the snap and
vim with which everything is done, tho
ebow would last over three hours. As it
is, with the splendid supervision given
to details by the equestrian director,
John D'Alma, a poriect kaleidoscope of
rapidly changing acts is crowded into
two and a half hours, so that thore ia
never a wait or a hitch. The perfect
discipline of the company was also a
subject of favorable oomment yester
day."
The admission has been reduced from
$1 to 50 cants; children under 9, 25 cts.

The synod ol California met in tho
Firet Presbyterian church of tbis city
yeaterday evening. The eervicea begau
with an anthem by the choir oi tho
church.
By 8 o'clock the large auditorium and
the galleries were crowded with dele
gates and others interested in the work.
On the platform were tbe Rev. Dr.
Chapman, moderator of the synod, Drs.
Graham, Noble and Revs. H. B. Gage
and C. Cole.
Rev. Mr. Graham and Dr. Noble of
fered prayer, Ray. C. Coyle read the
scripture, and the quartette rendered
Bomo excellent music.
Moderator Chapman of Oakland took
for hia text Acta, 2:39: "For the prom
ise ia unto yon and your children," etc.
"Thia is the Father's prumioe of tho
Holy Ghost as DJured out on the day of
I'entecoet." The teachings of scripture
regarding tho baptism of the Holy
Ghost was the principal theme of the
preacher.
"The Holy Ghost, according to the
teachinge ot Scripture, is poured out
subsequent to the regeneration of the
sinner. It is the royal Master's gra
cioua equipment for tboir epecial work.
It was ao in the case of tho apostles.
Everyman is omnipotent for hia task
and immortal till it is done.
"It was the anointing of the spirit that
qualified the Master himsell lor His
great work.
"Tbis anointing with tbe spirit was
typified in the temple worship of the
Mosaic dispensation, Chriat'e mighty
works were wrought in ths power ol the
Holy Ghoßt. Tbe Holy Spirit now is
the epirit of the risen and glorified
Christ.
"Tbia was impossible before the death
of the Savior—it was inevitable after
His death. This explains our Savior's
words, 'It is expedient for you that 1 go
away,' etc.
"It is not a power which we possess,
but a power which possesses ua. With
out thia spirit in the church two dan
gers threaten vs —first, heresies, and
second, a lack oi the proper spirit in
dealing with heretics."
. The eermon was deep, clear, logical
and scriptural.
After the eermon tbe synod was con
stituted with prayer by the moderator.
Tbe following delegates answered the
roll, whioh will be largely increased
tomorrow:

NEWS ABOUT THS RAILROADS.
Incorporation Piptrl Filed by the New
I'trail Road,
During the past few months general
interest has been stimulated by rumors,
and certain meaeer facts which were
allowed to transpire, regarding the new
line of road between Salt Lake city and
Los Angeles.
Everything lias been hoped, from
having access to another transcontin
ental road and the rich districts in Utah,
which are destined to be opened np and
made tributary to tbis city, is calculated
to win the approval of every citizen in
terested in tho progress of Los Angeles
and the further development of Southern
California.
The dim mnrmuringg ol what is des
tined to come to pass took shape yester
day, when tha Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Salt Lake Railroad company
hied articles of incorporation with the
county clerk. While the statements
set (orth aro, as usual in auch caaes, re
stricted to the mere requirements de
manded by law, yet in reading between
tbe linca aufiicient information can be
gleaned to warrant the belief that the
building of this new road will be pushed
witii all the energy that brain and
money enn command.
Tho names of the directors are those
of men who occupy front rank in the
husinoss community. John M. C. Mar
ble, tbe president of the newly formed
company, is alao preaident of the Na
tional Bank of California; T. B. Burnett
ia tbe vice-president and general man*
ager and treasurer of the Los Angeles
Terminal Railway compr-ny; Jeffarson
Chandler and Shirley Ward are partners
in law practice, and Arthur Young, wbo
is named ac secretary and treasurer,
represents the English syndicate of cap
italists who have invested so largely in
the Bear valley water scheme. The other
directors named are C. W. Rogers and
C. C. U. Stuart, the latter of Chicago.
The capital stock is placed at $12,000,
--000, and ia divided into 120,000 Bhares of
a par value of $100 each. Of the total
amount tGOO.OOO has been subscribed.
The surveye of the new road havo all
beon completed and at the Salt Lake
end grading haa been begun but not
carried any very considerable distance.
While imparting certain of tho facts
yeaterday one of the incorporators Btated
that a representative of the new com
pany would be leaving this city for Salt
Lake City within the week for the pur
pose of perfecting necessary arrange
ments at that end of the line and for the
early resumption of actual work on the
line.
li is peculiarly interesting, consider
ing the feeling of unrest and dissatialac
tion in California regarding both local
and eastern freight rates, that San Fran
cisco ia chosen as one of the terminal
points of tbe now road. While from
Los Angeles it will wend its way through
the counties of Saa Bernardino and
Inyo into tbat territory and so on to
Salt Lake City, it wiil also ran through
Kern, Tulare, Fresno, Merced, Stanis
laus, San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Ala
meda to tbe metropolis of tbe nortb.
The length of tbe line witbin this etate's
boundaries is estimated to be about 600
miles.
While suoh, briefly stated, is to be
tbe couree uf the road, stated in general
terms, ita present objective point is
Los Angelea, and when the arrange
ments now being made for intereating
capital are completed, work will be
commenced at thia end to keep pace
with tbe track laying from the Salt
Lake end. Pending tbe closing of ne
gotiations in this direction, many de
tails are not being allowed to leak out,
sultlce it to aay lhat the aum subscribed
already is not merely good paper, hut
ie paid np.
A railroad is not built in a day, nor is
$12,0U0,C00 gatbured up in a week, but
tbere ia now every reason to suppose
that within a reasonably short time the
iron borne, with ita train of cara, will
come from the uplands ot Utah, laden
with ita rich mineral treasures, into
tbe valleys of Loa Angelea county and
inaugurate an interchange of commod
ities that can but result in the benefit
of both,

TF YOU are looking for dress goods, bear tins in mind.
We have cnt tiie profits on all dress goods this fall
fully one-half. We have more than doubled the dress
goods trade. There is one thing for you to consider. We
have no old goods to show you at a high price. We 'have
taken out all of last season's goods and have placed them
on the counter for exactly one-half the regular price. They
are nearly all gone. All the goods purchased this fall
have been marked at the lowest prices we have ever sold
dress goods for. We haye largely increased the d ress goods
trade in so doing. We are now closing out the remnants
of wool dress goods and flannels at one-half tne original
price. If you want a cape, visit our remnant department.
We will sell you the materials for one-half the marked
price aud will cut, fit and baste your cape free.. You will
probably find something in the remnants to suit you. It
is remarkable, it is astonishing, the number of capes we
have cut, fitted and basted the past year. Out of the en
tire lot we have never had a misfit. We show the largest
assortment of cape materials. We make the lowest piices.
We will cut, fit and baste your cape free. More than doub*
ling the dress goods trade. Don't you want a fur cape ?
Don't you want a cloak? Do you want a child's cloak ?
The most important thing is to buy a cloak (that will suit
you. The next thing to consider is the price,. Our prices
this season are based upon the lowest profits C:ver known in
the cloak room. We carried over no furs. What you buy
here is the newest and the prices the lowest. Poor furs are
not cheap at any price. Furs with moths in them are not
worth carrying home. If you buy a fur cape: of us you are
sure of securing perfect skins. The latest st yles, and what
is still better, the lowest prices that have evt.r been known.
Any one who visits this liouse can see the vast improve
ment in the amount of business we are now doing over that
of a year ago. If you want anything in blankets we have
a few special drives to offer you. Splendid blankets for
$1.50, 41-75 and $2. We show a grand quality for $4 and
$4.50. Blankets are very much lower in price than a year
ago. The dress goods, cloaks and millinery is where the
big trading is done. Great gains are being made in these
departments. The profits have been greatly reduced, the
sales largely increased.
