Another train of freighting teams
left for Panamint yesterday, loaded
with goods for the mining trade.
Since the acquisition of the second
car to the street-rairoad, trips are
made from each end of the line every
half hour.
The Ventura arrived at Wilmington
yesterday morning with 800 passen-
gers and l75 tons of freight. The pas
sengers arrived in the city on the af-
ternoOn train.
The jury in the case of Gabriel VS..
Newman, after remaining out all
night were brought into Court yester-
day morning, and failing to agree
were discharged. The case will now
come up for new trial.
A merchant of our city who has a
branch store at Panamint, informs us
that the demand for goods there is
greater than his freighting facilities
can supply. The sales thus far have
amounted to about eight thousand
dollars.
We yesterday took tour of obser-
vation through the extensive carriage
manufactory of Page 81 Gravel on Los
Angeles street, and found everything
in the establishment in its wOnted ac-
tivity. This firm is doing the most
extensive business of the kind in the
city, and the secret of their success is
that all work is done upon honor
Mr.. r. r.. Haines presented us with
a photograph copy of a map of our
inland geo agraphy as regards our
railroad situation. This map will
show at u glance the urgent necessi ty
of the Inyo railroad to our future COM
mercial salvation and ought to arrest
the attention of every man interested
in the welfare of our city.
In grading around the new houses
in course Of erection on Main street
between Second and Third some of
the bones of n human skeleton were
exhumed the other day. The remains
were found on the site of All old adobe
house which stood there for many
Years previous to the late improve
.nents. Some dark history may be
connected with the bones, but it
would take novelist to evolve it.
Some of our citizens were canvass
mig the city yesterday to raise sub
scriptions for the boy who was recent
ly operated upon by DIR. Wise for hy-
pertrophy of the tongue. The ailing
member has now entirely healed, but
it is proposed to keep the patient
under treatment for another month
to bring the lower jaw into proper
shape, it being somewhat distorted by
the unnatural development of the
tongue. The boy is truly an object of
pity; his parents are poor and cannot
afford to pay for his support in the
city, and the donations received will
be used for that purpose.
Mr. Sam. Foy will soon celebrate the
twenty-irst anniversary of the estab-
shop in Los Angeles. Twenty-one
years is long time in this rapidly
changing country for n man to keep
t'oy has Justly earned the title of ''the
pioneer saddler." We do not know
how the auspicious event will be cele-
brated, but suppose the press will
come in for it's share Of the wine, cake,
cigars, shoe strings or spurs with
which the occasion will be honored.
A man who lately went to San Fer
nando in Nadeau's employ to take
charge of a station OH the freighting
road, fell from wagon last Monday
and fractured his left leg badly. He
lay at San Fernando part of Monday
afternoon and all night without medi-
cal attention, as it could not be pro-
cured there. Yesterday morning he
was brought down on the San Fernan-
do train in quite critical condition,
his leg badly swollen and inflamed,
. with the broken bone protruding from
the flesh. He was taken to the hos
pital, where he will receive proper
medical care and nursing.
Y In the Mcdonald murder case on
trial in the District Court yesterday,
the following jury was selected from
u panel of $50: Geo. Cate, j. II. Mar
tin, f. G. Parrish, J. II. Martin, w.
c. Metcalf, S. d. Smith, +. La Rue,
ID. w. G. Conan, G.. Englehart, Alex
ander Henry, u. w. Chesney and G..
w. Lawrence. The case was fairly
opened and u part of the testimony
submitted, when, at p. NJ, the Court
adjourned until 8 o'clock this morn
ing. The jurymen were placed in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Mitchell
and kept in the Courtroom all night.
The case will doubtless be concluded
to-day, as it is not complicated and
the evidence to be given is quite brief.
