4 LATEST FROM PASADENA Daring Thieves Burglarize and Steal by Wholesale NARROW ESCAPE FROM HARM Children in a Wajoo Collide With a Car A Uiuor Case In the Superior Court—Meetinj to Secure Representative* at Atlanta Exposition—Brevities PASADENA, Sept. 12.—When Mr. L. V. Pierce of North Raymond avenue re turned yesterday after four weeks' ab sence, be foumi a strange state of things about nis premises. In fact this was • bout all he did find, except that the thief hail been considerate enough to leare the house in its accustomed place. Everything else had been carted off. in cluding his wagon, which was no doubt aade use of to do the hauling. It was the most whole-iale job of tuieving ever ■•ported in Pasadena. Upon entering tbe house Ms. Pierce soon discovered tbat there was little left except an abundance of empty space, his household furniture being anions, and snout everything tbat was portable being likewise invisible. The fellow that did the job evidently believed in making a t,lejn sweep. Afler reporting the matter to the city marshal, the goods were soon located and this led to the eiisy identifi cation of the thief, being none other than Willi.um Handel, he of recent notoriety in connection witn attentions fo a Mrs. Barker and threatening tne life of her siußuancf, for which indiscretion he now I languishes in tiie county jail. It seems tbat Mr. Pierco left his house in charge of Handel when he started away on his trip, and this unique, not to say "crack ed' individual (as recent developments have shown) thought that the best way to take cafv of the furniture was to st . c it a dealer in second-hand goods, not forgetting to get thej:a?h tor the many and various articles with which he replenished the stock of tbe furniture man. He took a man from Hobson's store to look at the g oo Is and sold them as his own, forgetting to notify Mr.' Pierce of the transaction, no doubt ow ing to a similar state of abstraction to that which caused him to fail to notify Constable Slater of his intentions on a' previous occasion with which the publio is familiar. He is no doubt mentally unbalanced. A NARROW ESCAPE A merry party of children enjoying a straw ride narrowly escaped being badly hurt last evening at the corner of Fair Oaks and Colorado, as tbey were driving at a reckless pace, blowing tin horns and shouting with sttcn a din that the ap proach of an electric car was not noticed until it was almost upon them. I ho shouts of tbe bystanders along the street warning the youthful revelers of the approach of the car were all lost in the din of the horns, and had not the motor man noticed in time the frantic efforts of the people to stop tbe mad career of tbe straw wagon, he would have taken it for granted that tbe occupants of the vehicle saw his car and wotilti stop before reach ing trie track. It was lucky tbat he did not expect them to stop, for they kept right on apparently in total oblivion of the existence nf cars until thej* brought uj> in collision with tibs particnlar one, wnich was nearly stopped by tbis time, uence did not do any material damage beyond frightening the youngsters out of a lull year's growth. When the car was struck tiie bystanders say it was as good as a circus to see tbe yuuthful members of tne coaching party, who were so sud denly appr sed of tne existence of an electric road, jump and run as if shot out of a gun, some of them never stopping until they reached mamma. Considering that what might have been a frightful accident wbs fortunately averted, every body could join in a hearty at tiie astoundeo antl badly frightened young sters, who have no doubt learned a good lesson. BREVITIES. Tha Fluke case, selling liquor contrary to the ordinance, is soon to be settled in the superior court on appeal from the de cision of the recorder. This,' as well as the Werner case, was left unsettled —tbat is, the appeal was taken but not per fected, awaiting the decision in tbe Con fer and Robinson case, as it was expected that decision would practically settle botb cases. But that case wjs dismissed, and Werner paid his tine in the other case, nence there is only this Fluke case left. It is now learned that Judge Hestei, counsel for Flake, is about ready to test the case in the upper court, either by perfcting the appeal or by habeas corpus proceedings. It is understood that he will attack the validity of the ordinance on several grounds, notably for the reason that in prescribing the hours within which beer and wine may be setved with meals in restaurants an un reasonable restriction is sought to be placed upon proprietors of these estab lishments. The meeting of business men to discuss the n *cessary-,steps io secure proper rep resentation at the Atlanta exposition will lie held on Monday at 4 p.m., and it is to be hoped that there will be a large and /eoresentative attendance.

SEPTEMBER 13, 1895 SANTA MONICA BUDGET Santa Monicans Rejoice Over the Hobart-Lester Marriage THIEVES ARE NUMEROUS An Interesting Suit Over a Newspaper Contract A Prixe Fight Between Boys Under Twenty. Agitation Over Sewer Flushing--A, Bank Promotion SANTA MONICA, Sept. 12.—Everyone at Santa Monica lias been interested in the grand nuptials of Miss Alice liobart, the San Francisoo heiress, and Mr. Winthrop E. Lester, late cashier of the bank of Santa Monica and nephew of Senator John I. Jones, wnich took place at San Francisco on Tuesday of last week. The full report of the Wadding in The Herald of Wednesday leavea little to be said here save that everyone rejoices in Mr. Lester's good fortune, he being a general favorite. al Sneak thieves are becoming entirely too numerous at the seaside city, and ot the present writing tne officers have no clues which lead to tiie guilty parties. Among the houses recently operated on are Mrs. Munroe's on Nevada avenue, Captain Tompkinsons on Second street, and today Mr. H. A. Winslow's residence on Third street, where an attempt was made which will probably lead to the capture of ttie guilty party. Iv tbe Winslow case the party knocked on the front door and Mrs. Winslow, who was in but indisposed, diti not answer. A MOBBd rap was given, when he departed, in a few moments, evidently believing the house was vacant. He returned and gave a gentle rap which, being unan swered,he proceeded to endeavor to enter the house by a false key. The door was unlocked, but. not knowing it, lie made enough noise to scare Mrs. Winslow, who jumped up and turned the key, when it became tbe sneak thief's turn to get frightened, and he left rather sud denly. The officers think tbey are on the track at least, and that the other houses have been opened in the same way as this was attempted. In the case of Palmer it Rey vs. Jones et al., to recover certain printing material wnich they claim to have sold in Mny, 1892, to the Tehachcpi Tribune, under an executory contract, which printing mate rial, after passing through tbe hands of several innocent purchasers and lastly in the hands of Messrs. Jones, wae todsy decided by Justice Barackman in favor of Messrs. Jones against I'almer & Rev. The local court held that the alleged executory contract was simply a subter fuge by Palmer &• Rey to avoid the chat tel mortgage law. and was invalid as to innocent purchasers from the Tehachepi Tribune for value. Our local justice held in tbe line of the late decision of Juage York in the piano case, it being another nail in tbe coffin of the executory contract, Sheldon Bor den representing Palmer A- Rey and Tan ner A: Taft Messrs. Jones. Miss Florence Dunham of the Los An geles high school is visiting Mrs. F. H. Taft. Roy Bundy has been promoted to the position of.oashier of the Bank of Santa Monica, the vacancy being caused by tne resignation of W. B, Lester. The promo tion is one worthy of the young gentle man and the institution. The local sporting element indulged in witnessing the brutal pleasure of a prize light between two Santa Monica lads, Grant Grimes and William Rapp, under 2.), who fought with four-ounce gloves, twenty-two rounds being fought, when Kapp was completely knocked out. .Now thet the town is to be properly sewered, the question of flushing it has been considerably agitated DV a small coterie of silurlans. The water supply of tiie Santa Monica Water company is more than sufficient for a dozen such sewers, but with the boundless ocean at our doors and the lioeral effer of Mr. Roy lones. who stated that the North Beach Bath House company would pump all the ocean water wanted, the follow ing clipping from tbe address of Mr. Craig at the recent graduating exercises of Hahnemann college on .he sanitary effect of salt water is very timely to us and should set at rest for ever the water fluslrng question : "The secreatary of the Lurline baths recently told me, since sluicing nightly 500,000 gallons of salt water from their swimming pond down the Polk street sewer, within the territory adaecent to Folk street there has not been a single case of diphtheria recorded since the baths were opened. The residents of the neighboring street il.arkin) are making efforts to have their sewer connected with the discbarge from the batns, so that it may be flushed alternately with Polk street. If this statement can be verilied, then, with salt water on three sides of the city, and plenty ot it, why shou'd not San Francisco became the healthiest city on the continent?" There seems to be the further hint that it would also be advantageous to bave our streets sprinkled with the water n'so, from a sanitary standpoint. ONTARIO ONTARIO, Sept. 12—The sewer system here is nearly completed and the trustees have passed an ordinance abolishing cess pools and vaults. In localities remnte from sewer lines the dry closet system will be adopted. When the requirements of the new ordinance are carried out On tario will stand in the ton row among tne cleanest towns on tbe coast. The Ontario band accompanied the Covina excursion to Santa Monica last Monday and assisted in celebrating the opening of tbe Southern Pacific road to Covina- Town Trustee L. H. Pierson was mar. ried on Monday evening to Miss Ida Moore. D. Kilpitrick and family have returned from Sespe and occupy their hame place, which was "acated tins wck by Captain liraden. The captain and his family will reside in Los Angeles this winter. A brick warehouse for huy and grain is being built for Thomas Falconer on B street, near Kuclid avenue. Commutation of Sentence Desired SAN FRANCISCO, Sep;. 12.—Another effort is to be made to save from the gal lows Hans Hansen who, with Thomas St. Clair, is sertenced to lie hanged on October 18th for the murder of Mate Fitzgerald on the high seas. The Danish residents in this state have raised a sum of moiiGy to send an attorney to Wash ington to ask President Cleveland to commute Hansen's sentence from death to life imprisonment. The Salvadorean Refugee SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-A local paper prints a sensational story stating that Florencio Bustamente. the San Sal vadoiean relugee who was surrendered to tbe authorities at La Libertad by the captain of the seatmship City of Sydney, was seized by the people of La Libertad, saturated with coal oil and roasted alive. The statement is made in the name paper that Bustamente was surrendered upon tbe order of tbe American consul agent, Cooper, of La Libertad. THEY WILL TAKE A DAY OFF Knights of the Quill to Enjoy the Fun SAN BERNARDINO FIESTA The Los Anjeles Press Club Will Be Honored Quests The County Sue* by the Superintendent of Public Instruction—The Fleste Bicycle Races SAN BEHNARDINO, Sept. 12.-The Los Angelas Press .-fab will be honored guests on one day of the Fiesta. A letter has been received from J. F. Carrere, the pretldint of the club, stating that the members would be pleased to spend one day in this city during tbe week, and asking what day would be best to select. The matter was at once referred to the Fiesta committee. When the matter was brought to their attention it was at once deter'cined to invite the Los Angeles newspaper men to be present on Wednes day as tne guests of tbe committee, and J. A. Whitinore was delegatd to take the matter iv charge. During the afternoon he sent a telegram to President Carrere. inviting the members of tbe Press olub to be present on Wednesday as the big day of the Fiesta, and aekin; how many would come. No definite plans for the entertainment of the visitors have as yet been decide ! upon, but tbe newspaper men of tbis city will co-operate with the Fiesta committee in planning a royal good time for tbe craftsmen from abroad. It lias just bsen determined that tills city has no ordinance against disreput able houses, it having been repealed some time ago and not incorporated In any other ordinance. The direct result of the discoveiy will be the dismissal of the case now pending against Harrison Bern is for renting property for such uses. But the agitation of tne question has served a purpose, whether any prosecutions were secured or not, and not only have most of the uptown resorts been vacated, but even tbe horses on F street and below that line have been deserted, and the people living in tbat part of town are almost at a loss to account for the freedom from noise and brawls wbich bave been so frequent in tbe past. With this state of affairs tbe officers ere in a quandary, and it has been suggested tbat ft the ob ject desired has been obtained further prosecutions are needless. Certain it is that there bes been an emigration from First strset tbat almost amounts to an exodus, and the reguit must hare been an increase in tbe population of Alameda street in Los Angeles or similar sections of other cities. County Superintendent Margaret M. Mogeau and Dirtrlot Attorney F. B. Daley bave been unable to agree over a bill which the former has presented to tbe board of supervisors, and the court will be called upon to decide whether tbe county superintendent of public instruc tion is entitled to a fee for services as a member of the county board of education. Tho law says that members of the board shall receive to per diem for tbeir services. It also says that the county superintendent is ex-offlojo secretary of tbe hoard, and putting tbo two sections of the law together, it has always been construed to mean that tbe county super intendent should receive to per diem in addition to the regular salary attaching to the office. This bas been tne custo.n not only in tbis county, but in all counties of the state. However, when Miss Mogeau's bill came up before tbe board the first meetiag in August, tbe district attorney advised tbat it was not a legal charge against the county. Venn this advice,the board of supervisors refused payment, and through her attorney, George B. Cole, Miss Mogeau has instituted suit for the amount, faff. Two of the best riders in the state have entered for the races here at tbe fiesta bicycle meet Tuesday. Entries were re ceived here this morning from Emil (Jl bricnt and William Yeoman, both of Los Angeles. Each of them were winners in aifferunt events at Riverside Admission day, nnd if such racers are interested in the fiesta meet, it goes without saying that it will be a big success. Ulbricht is admittedly the best rider in this end of tbe state. He is entered in tbe mile race for class B men, and in the two-mile lap race. He won tbe latter race at Riverside Monday. Yeoman is entered for tbe mile rsce for class A men and in the five-mile handi cap. He is a long-distance man, being third in the thirteen-mile road race at Riverside. After an enjoyable stay of over two weeks at hawpit canyon. Messrs. Harris, Holcomb, Waile, Brown, Nisbet and Stephen, the pioneer campers, have re turned to their homes in this city. Prolessoi T. ft. Kirk haa been invited to attend the Ventura county teachers' institute next week, and will deliver several addresses, one of which will be an evening lecture. Charles Torrance is in the city on a short visit. Mr. Torrance was a member of the syndicate that built the yaobt Countess of Dufferin, with which the Canadians several years ago unsuccess fully attempted to win the cud whicb is now being competed for by tbe Defender and Valkyrie. Since Sunday night two drummers, ac companied by "two fair but evidently frail damsels claiming to hail from the model city .of Pasadena, have been making themselves obnoxiously conspicuous on our streets and in public places. They were denied admission at the Stewart on their arrival in tbis city, were subse quently ejected at the .New St. Charles and have made their headquarters on lower D street. They have visited saloons in violation ot law. At the springs tbey made themselves so obnoxious oy the use of indecent language and their gen eral conduct that they drove respectable people away.

He went from here to New York and will sail for Europe Saturday where he will join his family in Switzerland.

I have been promised private suiisc.'ptions fo stock the company to the amount <r< a million dollars and hope our government will grant a yearly subside which in connec tion with that granted by Hawaii Will enable us to raise the money necessary to carry out the project. As soon as details are decided upon they will be made public and every opportunity given for scrutiny and investigation as well as for competition in construction." Colonel Spalding aid not see any of the state department officials while in Wash ington, as nothing could be done until congress is in session. BOND PRICES Prices Are fTalntalned, but a New Issue Said to Be Likely NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The stork ex change records fail to confirm the re ported decrease of 2 per cent today in the price of government fours. The actnal quotations yesterday were on tbe first call $1.22<<@51.23 for the registered fonrs and $1.22-; for tbe coupons.

Since Monday the registered fours aie down 3 per cent in tbe bid prices and the coupons l 7 * percent. The cause of tbe easier tendency of the bonds is the belisf in many circles that a uew govern ment loan is impending. As a matter of faot the vislt'to this oity of Assistant Seoretary of the Treasnry Curtis last Thursday was properly ascribed to nego tiations to tbis end. Well informed finan ciers discredit the rumor and Mr. Curts himself Btated he was not aware of any immediate probable change in the treas ury sitnation.
