seeing the buildings come rattling
down about them, and the streets
were more full of people than we
have seen them for six months
past. 1t was the severest shock
that has been experienced here for
some time. Timbers in the build.

Our friend DR.. Luppo is greatly
agitated over the fact that the do
ings of the Cruelty to Animals So
ciety are not given their proper
prominence by the local reporters
of the city papers. If man gets
drunk or makes an assault, a full
account, he says, is given, but if he
or any other member of the S. p.
G. A. arrests an inhuman monster
for cruelty to poor dumb animal,
no report is made. The Doctors
principal regret at the early demise
of the Voice of the People is that he
is thus deprived of medium
through which to give the local re-
porters of the city an example of
how live reporter should conduct
the columns of city daily.
Another false alarm of Ire last
night, this time caused by burning
brush on the Sisters place OH Ala
media street. AS very few people
seem to be aware of the existence
of the ordinance prohibiting bon.
fires after nightfall, would it not
be well for Council to give public
notice that such law has been
passed and for violations thereafter,
enforce the utmost penalty pro-
vided by the law? Such q course,
we think, would be but fair on the
part Of the city authorities, as it
seems very hard TO fine people who,
in burning their refuse in the
evening, are following an imme-
mortal custom.
We take pleasure in directing the
attention of our readers to the mu-
sc store of the Me Waugeman
Bros, in the Mott building, Spring
street. These gentlemen have one
of the most complete establish
ments to be found on the Coast out
side of San Francisco. They are
agents for the celebrated Steinway
pianos, the Mason g. Hamlin Or
gans and for other we'll known
manufacturers. Their assortment
of sheet music comprises all that is
new, besides a full selection of the
works of standard authors. Our
citizens will find it to their advan-
tage to trade with this house az
their prices are as reasonable as can
be found elsewhere.
Deputy United States Surveyor
Wm. p. Reynolds, started out yes
terday to make u survey of El
Potrero de la Mission Vieja
de San Gabriel prior to the issuance
of patent to the claimants. The
ranch lies near the Old Mission,
and comprises some of the finest
land in Southern California. For
years 1t was supposed that the OWL
ers of adjoining land had secured
patent to the ranch, but of late 1t
has been ascertained that none has
ever been issued, and the proper
owners are now moving with celer-
ity to secure their property.

San Francisco in about two weeks.
Mr.. Jamison says the canon is full
of ledges. twelve being know II to

In looking over the register at
the United States Hotel yesterday,
