Hobart, in his letter of ac ceptance, August 10th, states that two billions money Is deposited In savings banks by five million depositors, and ex patiates on the evil the free coinage of ■liver would have on these poor five mil lions.

Spring. wrens) AN INSANE SCIENTIST Maximilian Wolff Again Sent to Highlands i mb mm onH Ranching Under Great Difficulty Without Any Water MACE MAYES CATTLE CASE A Horse Trade Tbst Was Altogether Too One« Sided A Heavily Capitalized Mlnlnj Venture With $200,003 Subscribed Dr. Rebecca Lee Dorsey Aggrieved—Corneals alon for Disposing ol a Ranch Denied. Prof. Lowe's Troubles—A New nacblae Co.—Court Notes While it is at all times a sad spec tacle to witness the vagaries of an un balanced mind, there Is an added pa thos when the sufferer has been a man of superior attainments and Intelligence. Yesterday Captain Maximilian Wolff was brought up in department four, be for Judge Van Dyke, to be examined as to his sanity. The patient first made his appearance in Los Angeles at the time of the fair held In the pavilion. He was attached to the Polish commis sioner's department, and had on view an ingenious model of an airship of which he was the Inventor. He dis coursed most learnedly upon the pecu liar features of his invention, details of which appeared at length ln The Herald at that time. A particular fad, too, of his was that the earth Is not shaped as ordinarily under stood, but is a plane, and to establish this contention Captain Wolff has writ ten both in the newspapers and in pam phlet form. Born at Stettin ln 1854, he received a very thorough education and adopted the profession of civil engineer. He is said also to have served with some distinc tion ln the Franco-German war, after which he devoted most of his time to aeronautics and the invention of an air ship that could serve the purposes cf general utility. In January of last year his peculiar idiosyncrasy developed into Insanity, and he was sent to Highlands, where he remained until a few days previous to Christmas, when he was discharged. Yesterday he was once again brought up for examination. When asked to explain himself and how he felt, he said he had been pois oned, and ln proof of the assertion, he rolled up his coat and shirt sleeve and displayed an eruption on his arm. He stated that his wife and family are In Berlin, Germany, but that no one of his relatives had ever been confined in a lunatic asylum. "The spirits appear to me," said he, "and tell me that I must go to Highlands. I must go throur'i all the bad things of this earth and then pass on out of this firebox —they always speak of the earth as a firebox," he add ed. "Are you a Mason?" Inquired Dr. Mac- Gowen. "Yes, sir," was the reply. "When my father, the emperor William, took the highest degree at the pyramids I took my degree of the sun. You know," con tinued he, "the pyramids were not built by the hands of main, but by God, and I there learned very many things. If you will just come outside you will see me give you the signs of the sun all right." The poor fellow has been amusing him self in the county jail Inditing telegrams to the pope of Rome and other high dig nitaries, as well as many notes he de sired sent to Mayor Rader and other city officials. Upon tha» recommendation of Drs. MacGowen and Cochrane, he was com mitted to Highlands. WATER TOO SCARCB First FloodeJ Out nnj Then Not Enough Water to Plant a Crop Another water case occupied the at tention of Justice Young in the town ship court yesterday, and the further hearing will be continued today. The suit is one brought by John Mc- Ateer against the Howard & Blxby company. On June 1 the plaintiff leased fifty acres of the Howard & Blxby ranch, the agreement being that 100 inches of water should be delivered be tween sunrise and sunset Previous to plaintiff's takingpossesslonthe reservoir had burst and the land was flooded, and after it had dried out It was packed hard. He turned to, however, and broke ground for a crop. On June 4 he received his full quantum of water; on the Gth only half the amount, and thence on, until July 27, none at all. From twenty to twenty-five acres were set out in corn, but the crop is a failure for want of water, and for the same reason half the ground has not been broken. As if that grievance was not enough, the plaintiff claims that the reservoir again burst and washed much of the seed out of the ground and in places washed the upper soil altogether away. A number of witnesses testified for tho prosecution yesterday and today the de fense will have something to say. HE SAWED WOOD But Felled to Oct His Full Pay and Has Now Instltued Suit Louis Metzler and Henry Jensen are at outs over a contract. In February of last year It was agreed between them that 400 cords of four-foot dry oak wood should be delivered in Los Angeles to Jensen by Metzler for $5.75 per cord. It was to be delivered as fast as cut at Tehachepi and Jensen was to pay the railroad freight and all to be delivered before January 1, 1896, when full pay ment was to be made. On July 25th. of this year, there VSJts due $3146.32 and of this amount Jensen paid $2638.45. leav ing a balance due on August 31st of $509.87. This amount remains unpaid and for purposes of suit Louis assigned his claim to Fred Metzler, who has in stituted suit to recover the amount. A HORSE TRADE That Results In Fitch Being- Arrested on the Cherze ol Grand Larceny W. P. Fitch will have to answer to the charge of grand larceny and It came to be preferred ln a rather curious manner, judging from the complaint that Issued yesterday from the district attorney's office. On the 30th of June the defendant, Fltcb, entered Into an agreement with one Beth Pruden, In Soledad township, jLOS /aITOEIiES HERALD: FRIDAY MOB!N_N"G % SEPTEMBER 11, 189 ft. by virtue of which the latter turned over ten head of horses in consideration of Fitch agreeing to pay for them 1200 within sixty days. As security for the payment of the money Fitch assigned to Pruden a note for 3450, dated May 6. 1896, and signed Samuel S. Blair, which note was secured by a mortgage on a lot in Mlddletown, San Diego. The trade having beep satisfactorily arranged so far. Fitch proceeded to trade .off the horses to various persons, and in thus breaking his contract laid himself open to the charge that has now been preferred against him. INSANE COMMITMENTS Exaggerated Ideas Abroad Retarding Number of Patients Sent to Highlands An energetic lady made her appear ance in Cupid's department of the coun ty clerk's office yesterday, bent upon In quiry. Not, however, with regard to the damage wrought by the little winged god. Fluent of speech, she expatiated at length upon the terrors of Insanity, while lamenting the deplorable and con stantly Increasing number of insane pa tients. It was her understanding that from 150 to 200 patients were committed by the Judges of the superior courts ont an average each month. The lady's mind was disabused of any such idea by a reference to the files for the cur rent year. While it is generally con ceded that insanity throughout the country shows signs of Increase, ac counted for by our complex civilization and the grinding competitive spirit in Los Angeles county, the commitments have been as follows during the first half of the current year: January. 10, February, 11; March, 18; April, 13; May, 14; June, 16. the lady doctor A Grievance Against an Unknown Personage That Broke Her Buggy Dr. Rebecca Lee Dorsey was on ven geance bent yesterday and desired that a warrant should issue from the district attorney's office against John Doe. It seems that on Wednesday evening Dr. Dorsey left her horse and buggy standing In front of the Rogers building, at the junction of Temple street and Union avenue. Someone, whose name is unknown, in driving a six-horse team ran into the buggy and tangled it up in a manner grievous to the doctor's feel ings. She contends that to replace the top that was torn off and fix it up so as to once more make it a respectable look ing vehicle will cost $40, and very prop erly she fails to understand, why she should be out of pocket that amount. The district attorney, on his side, fail ed to see why his office should be turned into a collection agency by enforcing a criminal claim. The lady has recourse to civil process. A COMMISSION DUE A Ranch Disposed ol but the Late Ownera Reluse to Psy the do-Between J. H. Woodworth has a grievance against J. N. Mundell and wife and is desirous of having his discontent al layed by the payment of $400 in United States gold coin. The Mundells lived on a ranch down ln Orange county, but wanted either to sell it or exchange it for other property. They consequently entered into an agreement with Woodworth, who Is a member of the California Investment company, that if any party was intro duced by him to them and a sale or ex change of the property was effected, they would pay $400 as commission. A Mr. George C. Horton was sent down to the Mundell's ranch and he ultimately became Its possessor.

THE PARK COMMISSIONERS The Purchase ol Central Park Recommended. Routine Business At the meeting of the park commis sioners the Initial steps were taken for securing the Central Park tract in the Vernon district for park purposes. There was a delegation of citizens present, and after the matter had been fully pre sented, the board decided to recom mend to the council that the prayer of the petitioners be granted. The matter was opened by the read ing of the following communiation: To the Honorable Park Commission ers—Gentlemen: The citizens of the southern portion of the city have long been desirous of having a public park established in that part of the town, and in view of the fact that about 55 per cent of the population resides south of Seventh street, and not less than 2500 houses have been erected the past year In the southern part of the city, the un dersigned feel that they are entitled to your kind consideration. All the parks, with the exception of St. James, a mere speck upon the city maps, are situated north of Seventh street, and while we believe our grand Elyslan park should be the grand park of the city, it is from four to five miles from the resident sections of the south ern part of the city; and East Los An geles park about the same distance, and the beautiful Westlake at least three miles from the bulk of our population; we, therefore, feel that the time is fully ripe for the establishment of a park in the southrn part of the city. V,"c have now offered, on most favorable terms, what Is known as Central park, ln Cen tral Park tract, and citizens and tax payers, to the extent of more than, 800, have signed petitions to the city council requesting that this territory be ac quired by the city and placed in the hands of the park department for im mediate Improvement. We would respectfully ask that you give this matter your kind attention and that you recommend, by petition to the council, the purchase of Central park at an early date. As has been stated, the tract in ques tion Is the property of E. F. Kyser and comprises about eight acres. It has been set out to ornamental trees, which are now well grown, and the expenditure of a few hundred dollars will convert it into a very attractive resort. Mr. Ky ser submitted a written proposition, agreeing to sell the property to the city for park purposes for $6000, to be paid in annual installments of $300, without Interest, for twenty years, or for $400 if paid on or before January 1, 1897. He gives the city ninety days' time In /^^ which to accept either of the foregoing propositions. Fire Commissioner L. M. Grider, who was among those present, addressed the board, urging that they recommend to the council that the property be ac quired for park purposes. He, as well as others, called the attention of the board to the growing need for a public park ln this portion of the city, and also called attention to the fact that It would be necessary to expend a small sum of money in putting the place under con sideration In first-class shape for a park. These citizens will appear before the council and board of public works next week and Insist that the recommenda tion of the park commission be adopted. The park superintendent was Instruct ed to add two rooms to the dwelling house ln East Los Angeles park, the Im provements not to cost more than $300. The superintendent was Instructed to have fifty seats made for use in the dif ferent parks. The superintendent of buildings was notified to submit plans and specifica tions for a band stand for East Los An geles park, to cost not more than $1000. The mayor appointed Commissioners Post and Teed and the superintendent of parks to confer with the superinten dent of buildings in the matter and re port. The superintendent of parks was in structed to have erected a platform on the south side of the park at Westlake park, to be used by anglers.
