Routine HitH.rta
Yesterday was a (loral day with the
oity council. Oonuoiluian Muuson'o
desk was bedecked with a huge bouquet
of piuka nnd maiden hair feme en
twined, tho gift of Mra. D. (i. Peck ;
while on tUd desk pf the president
rested a beautiful fiiral piece, unique iv
its design, and though fuuureal in iln
aspect, in its import slightly humorous
•ad somewhat ridiculous.
On a center of immortelles was
wrought iv red flowers the legend:
"Figueroa Street at Rest." A border
of ivy encircled the whole, and corner
pieces were wrought of yellow immor
telles. Below this floral tribute was ap
pended a copy of a beautiful poem, tied
with a bright red ribbon. This puem
ells tbe story—all there ia to toll. It
•11a it this way :
OWED TO TIIK VALIANT I OI'NCI I.M UN.
Now Hal ye, valiant couucuuion,
Unto our tale ol wo;—all:
About a ghost, a gru-<ome ghost,
That ineu call riguero -a.
For many weary moons, full oft
This ghost did mo. about!
And from our back raids on the hill
Mo man could drive it out.
It made the sunshine blaclt to be,
It made the darkuuss black ,
Tha ro>ea and the lilies drooped
Where'er It made n track.
Weablveiod and we shook full sore;
We erUd aloud for fear.
Ye men of mlgtit Una ghost did slay
Wneu you our cries d.d hear.
Now list ye, merry geullemen,
Unto our title of glee,
For that the ghost ye low have layed
That haunted our cosutree.
We give ye thanks; we deem It Jual
That ye sliuuid ptalscd be,
For ye have alatu a gruesome gho.t
With might and hravery.
—From the had lea uf Loomis street.
Bat the bright array of flowers end
the perfume they spilled out on tho air
of tbe council chamber seemed not to
subdue tbe spirits of the councilmen.
Immediately following the roll call came
the . -'ling of tho mayor's veto of the
ordinance calling for a bond election on
January IJth.
Councilman Strohm moved that tbe
vote by which the ordinance was passed
be reconsidered. The motion oarried.
Tbe motion of Councilman hhodee to
lay tbe matter over until the afternoon
session gave an opportunity for debate.
Counoilman Munson waa the brat to
avail himself ol the opportunity. Hie
manner waa not violent, but it was
forcible and in ationg language be spoke
of tbe attack of the superintendent of
schools upon the city council.
"Every time the superintendent of
schools draws his salary he ia violating
a city ordinance," aaid Mr. Munson.
"He has been in the city about four
months and I do not see how he can
judge better ol the need for school facili
ties in this city than tbe council can."
Mr. Muneon was followed by Mr.
Rhodes who set forth as a lact that the
council had given, in their estimate, all
tbat bad been asked for by even Mr.
Search himself iv the way of school
facilities, except the industrial high
school.
In reference to the Third street tunnel
matter Mr. Rhodes coneidered, and tbe
council had also considered, he aaid,
tbat tbe formation of an aeßeaement dis
trict any smaller than the entire city
would be an injustice. He likened the
digging of the tunnel to tbe building ol
the public bridges.
"As an old newapapsr man, 1 know
the power of the press," aaid Mr. Teed.
"The newspapers have printed articles
against tbeae bonds, and 1 believe now
that tbe proposition is dead. Tbe mayor
and tbe newspapers are wrong. I would
never vote lor an induetrial high school
if I eat in the council lor a hundred
yeara. I never was in favor of the Third
street tunnel; the mayor himself asked
for tbe park appropriation aa a member
of the park commieaion.
"The advocate lor an increaae in the
eohool apportionment seems to go in on
the plan of a well-known poli
tician of thia oity, ol building him
self up by tearing other things down;
but he cannot force an Industrial high
school down this council in any event."
There was a deep oileuce lor fully a
minute after Mr. Teed concluded, and
tben Mr. Nickell spoke.
"We should not be dictated to by a
man who does not own a loot of prop
erty in this city," be said. "The school
board enould have come to us instead of
this man going to the mayor. 1, for one,
do not propose to atand here ond let any
man who haan't beou in thia city but
three or four monttiD, and who doesn't
own a dollar's worth of property in the
city, dictate to me,"
Mr, Munson thon arose to just remark
that when the action of the council on
the new school bonnes waa taken, Mr.
Search bad been in tbe city about three
daye, and after that the smoke of battle
was allowed to clear away, tbo enemy
being nowhere in eight.
Later in the day an amended ordin
ance was brought in, but after aome die
cuaaion and figuring, tbe whole matter
was laid over guntil Wedneailay after
noon. In tbe meantime n special com
mittee of tbe council will moet the
building committee of tho board of edu -
cation and the school superintendent
thia afternoon at 1:80 o'clock, and n
general underatar.ding may be brought
about at that time.
The oity auditor's report on the an
nual reports of the witter overecvr Mild
city justices was received nnd hied.
By an oidinance the names of Hansen
Street was changed to F.aetlake avonuo,
and Patrick etreet lo Alturn street.
D. F. Donegan wna granted HO days ex
tension of time to complete bia contract
on Belmont avenue.
The petition of J. H. Jacobs for a deed
to certain property claimed by the city,
waa referred to the city attorney.
The demands recommended by the
supply committee were passed, with the
exception of demanda for extra street
sprinkling.
The report of the bonrd of public
works aa pubhshod was edoptod.
Anordiuanco for grading up Crocker
and Alameda otroetß waa naaaed, and
also one for grading Lake Shore avenue
between Palo Alto aud Temple streets.
Just here Mr. Teed asked permission
to say something about sewers. In tbe
sewer district south of Washington
street and west of Figueroa, he said, the
contractor, Mr. Hughes, ie having a
cinch iv the matter ol connections to
private houses. He has not only a lead
pipo cinch, but a sewer pipe cinch
ao well, it seems. While the sewer
ie null uncompleted he allows no other
plumber to make a connection with it,
out allows the property owners to make
connection aud run olfsewage, provided
tliey pay him a good round price for
putting in the connections. The street
superintendent and the building super'
inteiident were both called in in the
matter and the oity attorney also put to
work on it, with tbe result that It was
found tbat ninth a thing was in direct
opposition to a alate law, but that it was
being done, ami none of the city officers:
seem to have the power to stop it. The
city attorney drew up an ordinance
making it v misdemeanor for anyone to
make connection with a public sewer
until after its acceptance, but the ordi
nance failed of passage, and the matter
stands just as it did before, with the ex
ceptiun that Mr. Teed is wrought up
over it, and gives It out that he will
have another "go" at the proposition
later on.
An ordinance was passed enlarging
the distiict where fowls must not be al
lowed to run at large. The district now
includes the block bounded on the west
by Bisol street, north by Ingraham
atreet, south to Seventh atreet.
A representative of the Council of La
bor and the Carpenters, union came be
fore the couucil with the statement that
the contractor on street work on Fourth
and Crocker nnd Wulfokil! avenue waa
working his men nine hours a day, in
violation of his contract. On motion
the street superintendent waa notified to
inform the contractor tbat his contract
would be declared void if he failed to
live np to it.
Mr. Teed brought up tbo matter of
restraining Btreet contractors on aewer
work from hauling away the heat gravel
from the excavations and filling up the
atreets again with inferior material, bat
nothing waa done in the matter.
Bide for improving Tenth etreet were
referred to the board of public works.
The zanja committee reoommended
the preparation of plans by the city en
gineer for a cement pipe 675 feet in
length and 30 inches In diameter, and a
wooden flume 148 feet in length, on the
eonth tide of and acroas Palmetto etreet,
lo replace worn oat pipe and ilimiei.

IT HAS A HISTORY.
THE OLD COURT HOUSE BEING
RAPIDLY TORN DOWN.
Many a Tender Memory Ollflga to the
Old Building—r x-Mayor Workman
Recalls Many a Striking In
atenoo In It's History.
[Ex-Mayor W. H. Workman in the
lsßt iaaue of the Sunday World haa tbe
following interesting reminiscence.]
I experienced a deep feeling of regret,
tbe other day, when going through the
ruins of the old court house, now being
demolished. I saw it rise and am now
at its death. The old historic landmark
haa served many purpoaea, it haa shel
tered all aorta ol people and it waa given
to devotiona both saintly and distinctly
otherwise. It ia rather a painful feeling
to those who looked on this aa a build
ing to be prond 01, being the beat and
moat pretentioua in Southern California,
to ace it being battered to piecea, and
there ia a grim satiafaction iv learning
tbat the work of demolition ia difficult
and alow because tbe builder put hon
est labor and honest material into his
work. Huge timbers a foot square were
used in a profligate way, from the mod
ern standpoint, but it waa put up to be
earthquake proof and its akeleton sbowa
tbat it was braced end girded in a way
to resist almost any shock. It was
built in 1859 by Jobn Temple for a mar
ket house, and opened witb a big cele
bration and charity ball. The charm
ing Spaniah cuatoma of tboae days,
familiar, perhapa, only to those wbo
lived through them, the brilliant and
picturesque dressing, and tbe impas
sioned yielding to La Jets made the bail
a sight long to be remembered.
The market house waa not a aucceas.
After a two years' trial it waa converted
into a place of amusement, and the
denizens of the embryo matropolia were
regaled witb their first opera on local
boards, a really good grand opera com
pany presenting favorite operas in Span
ish, which everybody at tbat time un
derstood, more or leaa, in a moat satis
factory style.
But it was not long when the frivolous
tendencies ol the building were checked
and it was turned into a meeting house,
religions services being regularly held
there. Alter aome deaultory occupancy,
the county finally took it and uosd it aa
a court houae until a lew years ago,
when the county possessions were re
moved to the new county building.
The old building even figured in the
civil war. In 1801, when the call to
arms went forth on both sides, there
were more southern sympathizers in the
state than were thorn of outspoken ad
herents to tbe old order of things. At
that time, Captain Winfield Scott Han
cock, who afterwards rose to tbe rank
of major-general in the regular army,
was the United States quartermaster
here, aud had charge of a large amount
of public atores and anna. Becoming
alarmed at the hundreds o! southern
sympathizers who wero passing through
the oity eastward bound, and there be
ing no regular soldiers available, he
called upon the only military organiza
tion of tbe city to protect the public
property. This waa - the Loa Angeles
guards, about 60 strong, under the com
mand ol Captain H. N. Alexander. We
were all young and active then, nnd we
had our first taste of actual military
life in doing guard duty over the public
stores day aud night, until the danger
bad passed.
I can recall very clearly how Captain
Hancook, on the Fourth ol July, 1861,
when the newa that Fort Sumpter had
been fired on, reached here, came to
the members ol the guards and aaid,
"Now, boys, let's celebrate the Fourth.
Let's hoist the old ,'sg on the court
house." No soonor said than done. We
marched down Main otreet to the court
house etepa, and after a flag had been
raised to the mast head, Captain Han
cock delivered a most beautiful and
stirring address, urging lealty to the old
banner. It waa intense in its loyalty,
and very gracefully complimented those
of us, who, though southern born, stood
by the fedora! government.
In tbe eveving Captain aud Mrs.
Hancock entertained the guards at a
banquet, at which loyal toasts were
drank, and which was followed by danc
ing. Of thia old company only a few
remain. I can only recall, aa in tbe
land of the living, Captain Alexander,
Sam Prager, Wm. M. BuU'nm and Oscar
Macy. With the tearing dowu of the
weather-beaten old court honee is re
moved one of the most striking laud
marks of our city, and whatever may
take its place and cover its site, there
will be a tender spnt in the old-timer's
breast for tbe old edifice, which meant
so much to him in the early days.

Yesterday was law and motion day in
the civil departments of the superior
courts.
The only enit in which a concluaion
waa reached was the case of the Loa
Angelea National bank va. J. Wiley
Wallace et al., wbioh has conßumed
three days before Judge Clark and a
jury in department two.
At tbe conclusion of the taking of
testimony a nonsuit wbb ordered en
tered by Judge Clark. Tbe caae iv
queation was a suit instituted by the
Los Angeles National bank, by wbicb
the corporation sought to recover $5000
and interest from September 8, 1801,
from J. Wiley Wallace, defendant.
The facts developed tbat on tho date
named the defendant drew two drafts
amounting to $5000 on M. S. Babcook of
San DltgO, who waa indebted ta»hiin in
the amount named, on a laud sale. The
Los Angeles National bank atcoepted the
paper and Wallace checked out tbe lull
amount. The drafts were accepted by
M. S. Babcock on September 10, 1801,
placed against bis credits in the Cali
fornia bank ol Han Diego, and made
payable December 1, 180!.
In the interval, prior to Deoember Ist,
tbe California bank failed and the Los
Angeles National bank sought to recover
by a euit ogainßt Wallace. At tbe first
trial of the case the bank secured a
judgment for the full account. Tbe caae
went to the supreme court on appeal
and the judgment of the lower court waa
reversed. The re-trial yesterday result
ing in a nonsuit throws the full load on
tbe Los Angelea National bank, with
costs.
The end ia not yet, however, as it is
understood that Mr. Wallace intends to
sue the Los Angeles National bank for
damages, resulting from an attachment
which waa levied on his property, and
for malicious prosecution.
In department four, Hans Jorgen
Mortenseu, a native ol Sweden, took
tbe oath ot allegiance to the United
States, and departed a citizen ol the
republic.
FATTKRBON MURDER TRIAL.
Ia department one, Judge Smith pre
siding, the whole ol yesterday was
devoted to hearing testimony in the
Patterson murder case, which is drag
ging slowly along on the old line of
evidence which was introduced hy the
prosecution in the lower court and at
tbe second trial in tbe superior conn,
which resulted In a mistrial.
LeCompte Davis, representing the
district attorney's office, did not bring
out any new points, while, on the con
trary, Messrs. Ling and Appel, for the
defense, devoted nearly all of their time
to % partially successful endeavor to
show the variance in the testimony as
given on the two previous trials. The
only popular interest in the case will
oome when tbe defense begin tbe intro
duction of their testimony, as it is
understood that they have some recently
discovered evidence on wbicb they rely
for an acquittal.
PLEAS AND ARRAIGNMENTS.
Before taking testimony in tbe Pat
terson case Judge Smith disposed of the
regular criminal calendar:

Attorney W. F. Haas will today file
preliminary papers in a contest for tbe
office of constable of Ballona township
on behalf of Andrew L. Brown, who
claims that he was regularly elected
constable for the district.
The circumstances of the content are
peculiar, inasmuoh as bis opponent, J.
E, Simmons, has received his certificate
of election iv the full belief tbat he was
elected. The face of the returns Bhows
that Andrew L. Brown, Democrat, re
ceived 317 votes, and that Andrew D.
Brown, Populist candidate, received 210
votes, making a total of 533 votes.
Reference to tiles in the county clerk's
office show that the middle letter "L"
in Mr. (frown's certificate of nomina
tion could readily be taken for a "D,"
as it appears on the official ballot.
He will endeavor to prove hiß identity
ac a regularly nominated candidate of
tbe Democratic and People's party con

votes cast give him a majority of 43
over his Republican opponent, be in
tends to make a fight for the office.
