He sustained much more serious in
jury by being crushed in the engine,
one rib being dislocated and the breast
bone fractured. Mr.. Mateer, the Yard
Master, who was also sufferer by the
accident is lying at Wilmington in a
critical condition. His lower limbs
were scalded badly and other compli-
cations have set in since, so that there
is danger that amputation of one leg
may be necessary. French, the engi-
neer of the wrecked locomotive, is en-
tirely well and has been on duty for

Board Of Supervisors.
TUESDAY, Februar

TUESDAY, February "a.
The Board met at ten and One-half
A. M; all present except Supervisor
Machad0.
Bids were opened for building q
bridge across Desechos creek, near
San Juan. In consideration of the
fact, as stated by the bidders. that the
bridge can be built at cost 25 per
cent. less during the Summer months
than at present. The matter was iE-
definitely postponed.
Geo. D. Tiffany, J. A. Nichols and
Gen. Baldwin were appointed viewers
to locate a public road from the old
San Pedro road, near Jefferson street,
about four miles, passing the farms OF
Capt. Stanley, S. Mckinley, l.. Dukes
and Others.
o. HI. Allen was appointed Water
Commissioners for Los Nietos District,
vice Geo. Cole, absent from the State.
The report of viewers of Green
Meadows road, No. 5, and the Denman
road was read and returned to the
viewers to be corrected, in accordance
with the law, by reporting the amount
of damages that should be awarded TO
-consenting land owners. -,
The Board then adjourned until
Wednesday morning at ten O'Clock.

We have an abiding faith in the old
saying that "figures won't lie'' and
consequently submit the following
carefully compiled statement as true
index of the trade of Los Angeles
county for the year just past. Except
ing the supplies sent to the interior by
team, of which We can secure no accu-
rate account; the exports here given
will nearly approximate to the full
surplus product of the county for the
year.
1t will be seen that we have shipped
12,795 bales of wool; 127,34l bars of
bullion; 24,795 boxes of fruit; 52,9O5
sacks of corn; 1855 sacks of barley;
7,4S5 barrels, puncheons and kegs of
liquor, and 3,6O3 barrels and cases of
