A star reader named "PrOfessor LIS
TER" has cast the horoscope of Presi-
dent GRANT and discovers that the
subjects power will begin to wane on
the fourth ofnext March. The trial
was made in the presence Of number
of intelligent people to whom every
thing seemed to be fair and square.
Yet we doubt if the President will feel
greatly depressed or relax his efforts
to retain the prize, over the verdict of
the stars. A man who has so thor
oughly realized the truth Of the adage
at is better to be born lucky than
rich," as he, is otiikeIy at his time of
life to fear the baleful Influences of n
star that shone upon his birth. There
are few men at this age of the worl d
who can be frightened from their pur-
pose by the gloomy predictions of the
astrologer and sooth-sayer. Supersti-
tition is the twin brother of ignorance
and the light of intelligence has done
much within the last half century to
dispei the gloom in which superstition
must work to make its influence felt.
GRANThas realized the power of self
reliance, individual exertion and
heavy batteries, too often to be deter
red from his purpose by the crazy
mumblings of a moon struck astrolo-
ger. Such stuff cannot weaken the
third term programme.

BOLD ROBBERY.

About half past twelve o'clock
Monday night while Mr.. c. II. Grat-
tan was ON his way from his house on
Second, between Main and Spring
streets, to drug store to procure some
medicine he was halted by foot pads
and robbed of a purse containing $40
in coin and warrant on the County
Treasurer for six dollars. He says
that he had hardly emerged from his
yard when he was assailed from be-
hind by three men who either wore
masks or had their faces BACKED One
of the villains grabbed Mr.. Grattan
around the neck, covering his mouth
to prevent an alarm, and threw him
to the earth. He then planted his
knee upon Mr.. Grattan's breast and
held him to the ground; meanwhile,
another of the two tlourished revolt
yer about his head in a reassuring
manner threatening to shoot him at
the slightest provocatiOn; another of
the .confederates busted himself in
emptying Mr.. Grattan's pockets Sc
curing the purse with contents pre-
viously stated. Once MI. Grattan at
tempted to raise an alarm by calling
"Police,p but he quickly received u
quietus in the way Of savage kick
in the side from one of the rascals.
When they had secured the plunder,
the robbers made off in Westerly di
rection on Second street. Mr.. Grattan
at once returned to his house quite ex-
hausted by the fight and the i'll treat
ment which he had received. He is
in very poor health at the best, and
lilly prepared for such a shock which
would easily unsettle the nerves of a
well man. In fact, when caught out
in the ugly affair, Mr. Grattan was on
his way to procure medicine for him.

rhage of the lungs in the early part of
the night. Yesterday he suffered con-
siderably from the bruise which he
had received in the side. The police
were notified yesterday and put ON
warm scent of the rascals. Mr.. Grat-
tan thinks they were white mem
probably Americans-and he could
distinguish one of them by his accent
if he should meet him again. We
trust that the wretches may be
promptly apprehended.

Great Thanksgiving Dinner.

Thanksgiving dinner has become
one of the fixed institutions of the
United States. The American as much
expects sumptnous repast on that
day as he does on Christmas or Fourth
of July, in fact if they do not get such n
dinner they go hungry the whole year
Los Angeles is filled with strangers
and visitors who are not situated 50 as
to prepare the usual Thanksgiving
dinner OF course the dinner cannot
be omitted, so the ladies' of the M. f..
church on Fort street have made eX-
tensive preparations to give an old
fashioned Thanksgiving dinner. They
design to make il family dinner on
large scale. Twelve large extension
tables will be set, each table in charge
of a committee of ladies'. Cooking
stoves will be kept going all day pre-
pairing constant supply of hot roast
turkeys, chickens, pigs etc. From II
A. NJ. until z p. NJ. dinner will be serv-
ed. Many families have sent in or
ders for dinner at q given hour for
whom tables will be reserved at that
time. Several hundred seats have al
ready been secured. The new church
is large and has ample room for social
gatherings without interfering with
the accommodation for dinner. A So
cial reunion will be the order of the
day for young and old. Advantage
should be taken of this occasion to
make the acquaintance Of as many as
possible so that our Eastern friends
may feel at home in this land of their
adoption. A fresh supply of choice
viands will he served in the evening
for the benefit of those returning from
the Fair grounds. Strangers who
have seen our orange groves, our vine-
yards and our fields of green should go
and taste the good things on the table,
for the proof of the pudding is in the
eating. stffUt4 3H

The meeting of citizens at the Court
House on Saturday night was organ
lied by electing Mr.. John Brown Sr.
Chairman, and William A. Harris
Secretary. The Chairman, in few
appropriate remarks, stated that the
meeting had been called to consider
the feasibility of changing the line of
the Southern Pacific Railroad so as to
have depot nearer San Berfardino,
if possible within the city limits. Sew
eral gentlemen were successfully call
ell for, all of whom seemed to think
that by raising the amount of $780,
600 the desired result could be accom-
plished. 1t was finally decided on mo-
tion of Mr.. Levy, to appoint Messrs.
Conn, Satterwhite, Suverkrup and
Meyerstein as a committee to inter
view the managers of the Railroad,
and learn upon what conditions they
would comply with the wishes of the
meeting.
The subject of organizing City
Government was next considered, and
| on motion, committee of thirteen
was appointed to draw. up a charter,
said charter to provide for issuing
$100, 900 worth of bonds for Railroad
purposes, If found necessary. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were appointed:
Messrs. Boren, Paris; Swift, Shoup,
Conn, Rolfe, Meyerstein, Foy, Curtis,

Terrible Collision.

Yesterday afternoon about 6 O'Clock,
as Major Kerns was coming home
from the races, driving his buggy at n
rapid rate, he collided with another
vehicle opposite Turn-Verein hall and
was thrown violently to the sidewalk.
His horse became detached from the
buggy and ran down Spring street to
Main, where he was secured. The oc-
cupant Of the buggy with Major Kerns
was not injured. When picked up the
injured man was senseless and the
blood flowing profusely from his mouth
and ears. He was carried into the
butcher shop and Drs. Mckee and
Brooke We're in immediate attendance
and gave him every care. At this
writing (9P p. NJ he is in semi-con-
scious condition, and it is believed he

necessarily fatal.

THE ANNEXATION QUESTION.
senator Jones Thinks it a Specuia-
Hon, bat will mot oppose 10.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 3d.
The reports that by treaty the United
States will take under their protection
in execution of judgment the North
ern part OF Mexico continue to be the
town talk, and as our dispatches show
the news is stirring up an amount of
enthusiasm not unexpected in sections
of our outlying territory, more imme-
diately affected by the change, the inn
preston prevails in well posted gov
ernment quarters that the movement
is a reality and has great probability
of being carried.
The politicians who cast our nation
al horoscope are aware of the difficult
ties in the way, but they do not regard
them as insurmountable; and MeXi-
can claims and Mexican lands are re-
garded as a speculation not amiss
among capitalists. All the Mexican
sources of information, il may be ad-
mitted, fail in lending confirmation
to the reports, and, indeed, deny them
positively. Senator j. p. Jones, in an
swer to questions addressed to him,
replied that he had no information
OH the subject that has not already
In possession of the public. His
own opinion was that scheme of
some kind pointing to cession of
Mexico Territory was on foot and that
strong effort was being made to ex-
tend our boundary lines farther south.
No movement of this proportion, he
suggested, could be started unless it
was urged by individuals having great
interests at stake. He knew that the
scheme was contemplated several
months ago, that is he had heard it
talked about. He had never had any
conversation on the subject with Gen.
Grant and therefore could not speak
by the card. Nevertheless he believed
the President was very anxious to an
mex a strip from the Northern portion
of Mexico. Senator Jones did not be-
lieve the Mexican people would sub
nit to the loss of an inch of their ter
ritory, but if they were willing to sur
render their soil on any honorable
conditions he certainly wouldnot vote
nay on the proposition whenever the
question should be introduced in the
Senate. The annexation proposed
would be of incalculable unfit to the
Pacific Coast.

The Rumored Treaty.

The announcement that the details
of treaty between the United States
and Mexico are agreed upon by which
n large area of territory now held by
Mexico Is to be ceded to our Govern
ment, is received with expressions of
doubt by the more Intelligent classes
of the community. The assumption
that the transaction is based on the
Indebtedness of the Mexican Govern
ment to certain citizens of the United
States may be correct but the broker
age business which follows is not cal
culated to inspire the highest senti-
ments of respect for certain parties
holding hislnpositions under the gov-
ernment. Until further light is
thrown upon the treaty question it is
useless to speculate as to whether it
has or has not transpired and for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on
the individual speculation which
seems to have inspired and pushed on
ward thenegotiations we shall assume
that the rumor of the treaty is sub
stantially correct. Turn the matter
in any way We may We cannot escape
the conviction that the whole pro-
ceeding isa speculation by which our
Government acquires large area of
valuable territory and a large number
off our citizens are swindled out of their
private property. The United States
and Mexico might arbitrate claims
the settlement of which would leave
Mexico heavily indebted to our citi-
zens. The Mexican government vir-
tually confessed Judgment in the
amount fixed by the arbitrators. But
If that Government was not prepared
to settle at the moment we do not ap-
nrehend that execution could issue
Immediately. The holders Of these
awards did not fix high value upon
them and, thanks to the chicanery OF
certain United States Senators and
perhaps others holding still higher
positions, their estimates have proved
none too high. 1t seems that mil.
lions of dollars of these awards have
been bought by those who have ma
nipulated the treaty, at few cents on
the dollar. Here Is where the ugly
