The Accident to Mr.. FOlger.

Dr. J. T. Scott, who, in conjunction with
Doctors Fort and Ohastant, is attending upon
Mr.. Gideon L. Folger, who. was injured by
the falling Of a piece Of iron upon his head,
informs us that the blow produced compound
comminuted fracture of the skull and that
the patient is doing remarkably well under the
circumstances The skull has been trepanned
in two places, and seven pieces Of depressed
bone removed, one piece having slightly
wounded the brain.
But for the slight injury to the brain, there
would not, in the opinion Of his physicians, be
any doubt Of his mpid recovery, aud as it is,
he has exhibited no unfavorable symptoms
More than forty-eight hours having elapsed
since the accident, we may be permitted to
hope that Mr.. Folger will soon be enabled to
resume his active duties.
The operation upon Mr.. Folger has been an
exceedingly delicate and complicated one, and
should it prove successful viii rebound
greatly to the credit Of the doctors concerned

Mr.. Beaudry's Record.

We know that the Express hates Mr..
BEAUDRY. A Journal or individual
always hates the person they have in
jured or tried to injure; but when the
Express charges that Mr.. BEAUDRY is
one of the schemers who are seeking
to locate the railroad depot on the
East side of the river it shows pro-
found ignorance of the proceedings of
the Council on this subject at its last
meeting, from which We clip the fol-
lowing:
A communication from the Secretary of the
Chamber OF Commerce was presented, enclos
ing the series of resolutions passed by thai
body protesting against the removal of the
depot to the new location.
Mr.. Gerkens moved that the communica
tion be laid on the table, as he thought the
matter. entirely beyond the control of the
Cornell.
Mr.. De Cells amended that the communica
Il IN be referred to the Committee on Finance
Mr.. Beaudry supported Mr.. Gerkens' mo-
tion, stating that $4,000 in bonds of the rail
liVered to the company on the very condition
that the depot be removed to the new grounds
purchased and donated by the city. The
proposition for the building of the new depo
had been accepted by the railroad company
and the company was under a written agree
ment to place ii there; Furthermore, the lum
ber for the building was already on the ground
and work had been commenced. He thought
that the action on the part of the Chamber o
Commerce was discOurteous to the Council.

The Results Of Prayer.

Many do not look for results from
their prayers. They are earnest in
business, but play at religion. We
should treat daily prayers as daily in
terviews with the Most High. Some
consider prayer as only intended to
benefit themselves. David did not
think so. He did not feel satisfied
with the mere effect of his supplica-
tiOns on his own soul. He sought to
prevail with God. He sought answers
from him. He shot up his arrows and
looked to see whether they struck. You
men of the world, who ask skeptical
questions as to the efficacy of prayer,
let me tell you we no more dare to
doubt its efficacy than doubt our own
existence. 1t it is not hundred or a
thousand times that God has answered
us. To receive answers from him is as
common to us as to eat our daily
| bread. We find it difficult to have
patience with those who question its
| efficacy. What, man, you say there
is no sun? look up! You say there is
no air? breathe! Try prayer yourself.
Until you have gone to God and i'm
| plored him to grant what you need for
the sake of Jesus, you have no right to
it on philosophic grounds. Let those
who have tried it have some credence.
Rev. IL. c. SpatrgeOn.

Sensible Men.

The New York kilograms announce
that thousands of laboring men are
severing their connection with the
trades unions and other associations
designed, or pretended to be designed,
to secure the laborer good wages and
to protect him against the encroach-
ments of capital. The teller is begin
ming to realize that trades unions do
not seriously affect capital, while they
do most seriously affect the working
classes. A trade union binds man
not to work for less than stipulated
wages, but it does not supply him
with the means of living when he
cannot obtain Union wages. No man
is justified in binding himself with
the bonds of a union who has a wife
and children dependent on his indi-
vidual eXertions for bread. Every
honest man would rather work for
small wages than to stand around
street corners and swear at capital,
well knowing that the coal was out
and bread scarce at home.

SAN FRANCISCO.
COroner's Inquest-Man Dangerously
Wounded.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 11th.-
This afternoon Coroner Swan held an
inquest in the case of Chas. M. Smith.
The evidence showed that he was
alone in his room at the time four
shots were fired. When the inmates
of the house entered the apartment, he
was lying on the sofa insensible and
bleeding at the mouth. A Colts five
shooting pistol was lying on the floor
a few feet distant from him. All the
chambers had been discharged. The
only wound found was in the roof
of the mouth. lie survived sixteen
hours before death and recovered his
senses sufficiently to tell his brother
that he took the pistol from the draw
er and it was discharged by hitting it
against the bureau. The jury rendered
a verdict that death was caused by a
pistol shot or shots, either inflicted by
himself while laboring under tempo
rary insanity or by the accidental dis
charge of the pistol.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 12th.-
John Jurgens, proprietor of the White
House, on the Oakland and San Pablo
road, was shot Thursday night by a
man named Dutch Charley. Charley
was drinking at the bar and some
what intoxicated. He threw down a
bunch of keys, saying he could unlock
$500 with them. Jurgens, in joke,
took the keys. Charley demanded the
keys and without waiting fired a re-
volver, inflicting q dangerous wound.
Dutch Charley left and has not since
been seen. f.

The Railroad Enterprise.

The railroad mass meeting held in
this city yesterday afternoon will, we
think, be productive of good results.
A mass of facts were presented worthy
the consideration of every well-wisher
of this city and valley. 1t was clearly
shown that railroad extending from
this city to the rich mining regions of
"our back country" was the one thing
needful to secure great future for
Los Angeles valley. The arguments
have all been presented; column after
column of the HERALD has been filled
with them, and they were again set
forth from the speakers stand yester-
day afternoon. A recapitulation is
useless. All understand the necessity
and the only question is, will our
moneyed men-those most interested
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-12-13

FROM the figures furnished by SEN
ator MACLAY, we estimate that not
less than 100000 bushels of wheat will
be harvested in San Fernando valley
next season. We are Informed that
5000 0acres will be sown which, it is es-
timated, will yield an average of 40
bushels per acre. This immense bulk
of wheat will be so much net increase
of the products of this county as no
part of the acreage now seeded to
wheat has been cultivated since the
days of the Padres. In addition to
the large wheat acreage, the San Fer
nando people will also cultivate a
large number Of acres in barley, rye
and corn. Of barley it is expected
many thousands of bushels will be
produced.

The Depot Question.

The distempered manner in which
the Express replies to the HERALD's S
argument against the breaking up Of
the contract to remove the railroad
depot to the new location selected by
the Council and accepted by the rail-
road company, should, and doubtless
will be accepted by the people of this
city, as strong presumptive evidence
that there is something more than
mere conjecture in the rumor that q
scheme is on foot to move the depot to
the vicinity of the railroad machine
shops on the other side of the river.
The people of Los Angeles have learn
ed to regard any measure advocated
by the Express as a job put up in the
interest of few individuals with the
sole object of enriching them at the
expense of the masses. We suspected
that our little evening cotemporary
had received retainer when it began
to advance its arguments against
the removal of the depot, and its wild
and scattering answer to the HER
AIDS article of yesterday morning,
convinces us that it has contingency
fee dependent on the result. The
HERALD has neither time nor space
to waste in bandying words with a
paper that has made its individual in
terests paramount to political princi-
pie, and has not hesitated to undertake
the task of blackening and maligning
private character, at the beck Of a
ring who secured it's services in an at
tempt to overrule and override the
people. Its arguments are always on
the side of the highest bidder, and as
the people are not in the habit of.pur-
chasing the services of a pettifogging
journal, the Express is always found
laboring with might and main against
them. Therefore what it urges against
the removal of the depot eXcites no
comment beyond the query, "What
is it doing that on.h The
HERALD believes that as the
| arrangements al0 dlittuJ SlCCISu
into, and the details agreed
upon by the Council and the railroad
company concerning the location of
the new depot, it is not best to nullify
everything and trust to chance for an
equally satisfactory arrangement at
some future time. We have no doubt
| that if left to consult their own inter-
est the railroad company would prefer
to locate the depot on the other side of
the river. If they could receive and
leave freight over there it would short
en- the track nearly or quite a mile
when the road is completed; but they
are disposed to consult the interests of
the city, and therefore they have
agreed to erect the depot buildings on
Alameda street at point which is
fair compromise between where the
company would prefer to locate it and
where it now is. The attempt to break
up the agreement between the Coun-
ell and the railroad company relative
to the depot is prompted by selfish
motives, and if successful will not re-
suit in good for the city.
