LOCAL BREVITIES,


Childs donated the fruit which he
had OH exhibition at the Rink, to the
papers; and the printers were made
glad.
Four teams left yesterday, as fol-
lows: for Independence, to HI. 4 II.
to San Bernardino, for b. & c., M. &
Co., and B. G. b.
There were two runaways on Sun
day. A lady was thrown out of n bug
gy but not injured. The vehicle has
to have new shafts.
There is room for 100 cottages i'm
town, which could be rented from $40
to $50 or $40 monthly. Who is going
to start building?
Brodrick 4 Co. have received large
shipment of new and first-class up
right pianos for sale and rent. Most
of them are already engaged.
Paper and rubbish on the sidewalk
can hardly be considered an Orna-
ment. Slovenly storekeepers should
be made to remove their debris.
Henry Budden has just returned
from successful piano forte tuning
tour. He announces his readiness to
regulate, repair and tune all pianos.
c. Raynal, of the "Concord wagon
shop on Alameda street, has had his
shop enlarged and much improved.
His increasing business necessitates it..
The Coroner's inquest upon the body
of Gertie Robinson, aged twenty-four,
was held yesterday. The verdict was
that she came to her death by taking
chloroform for the purpose of relieving
asthma.
Letters from "Fair Play" M. G..
b." and others, about the Fair, are
held over for want of space. Cores
pondents will please make their letters
as short as possible. All personal or
unjust criticisms will be rejected.
Sacriste e. Elliott took orders for
suits of clothes yesterday for the first
time in two or three weeks. Up to
date they have had to refuse all fresh
orders from inability to execute them
Glad to see that business is so good
with them.
The pianos which arrived for Brod-
rick & Co., yesterday, were all rented
at once with option of purchase. One
Will SItCe Il VI IOOlllS ut Uuc ICO
House, another adOrn the Clarendon
parlor, while the other two will go to
private houses.
The Coroner's inquest upon the body
of Gervasio Valencia, aged nine years,
took place yesterday. This was the
case of the boy shot some three weeks
ago. The inquest was demanded by
the father of the deceased. The ver-
dict of accidentally shot, was rendered.
1t is said that in the foot race on
Saturday, the best man did not win.
The sheepherder, an Englishman, by
far the best runner, was far ahead, but
some one from the outside breaking in
and running past him, he supposed he
was defeated and gave up; thus the
second best came in first.
There will be a meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce tonight. Local and
general business of much interest will
be brought up. Communications of
Importance will be presented. There
was no meeting last week, owing
probably to the excitement of the
Fair. Let the attendance be general
tonight.
The Leroy-Duret troupe leave this
afternoon for Santa Barbara. They
have played long and faithfully and
we'll for the accommodation of the
people of Los Angeles, and have not
been rewarded as they ought. Los
Angeles parts from them with regret,
and commends them to the good will
of Santa Barbara. u "1
Professor Herman Bethe is meeting
with great success in obtaining pupils.
His playing Is delightful and he brings
with him testimonials from the New
York Conservatory of Music, where
he was formerly a teacher. Bringing
SO great reputation he naturally eX-
poets his class list to fill very rapidly
and he will not be disappointed. Citi-
zens will probably have the pleasure
of hearing him shortly in concert.
1t was reported last night that two
unfortunate women OF the town had
gone to their long home. The one took
chloroform to induce sleep when worn
out with watching at the bedside of
her sick friend. Her last act at all
events was one of charity. The other,
it is said, received the visits of cler-
gyman and expressed deep cOntritiOn.
The three editorial rooms of the Er-
press, Star, and HERALD, are within
80 feet of each other, and that organ is
gone. 1t has ceased to grind. 1t does
not play any more. That accursed
arm no longer turns the handle next
door, The tautology is necessary in
order to realize the choicest blessing of
the fall seasOn-the departure Of the
menagerie. The fifth day of that aw-
full tune was practical illustration of
the doctrine of eternal punishment.
The Arizona Miner thus speaks of
our young townsman, p. w. DoOner:
"T6is gentleman, who is we'll and ia
vorably known throughout our Terri
tory, is now practicing attorney at
Los Angeles (Cal.), having recently
passed very creditable examination
before the Supreme Court, Sacra-
mento. Having published and edited
a paper at Tucson, and been associated
with us in the publication of the
| Miner, we know him to be talented,
honorable gentleman, and hope that
great success awaits his movements in
the law"
H. s. Mckinney still preserves his
position as head clerk at the Claren-
don, albeit both the hotel and genial
Harry Mattield have yielded to a
change Of name and prOprietOrship.
Mr.. Mckinney was formerly clerk in
the Grand Hotel at San Francisco and
also in San Diego. Both the San
Francisco and San Diego papers have
lately had some very pleasant things
to say about him. The HERALD
is also glad to allude to him as
one of the most active, hardworking
and gentlemanly young fellows that
ever graced white vest and set OF
diamond studs behind a hotel register
