The Senator's passengers arrived
last night about 900. The steamer
has had devious experience since
leaving San Francisco. She was
caught in the terrible storm and
stood out to sea. She made her
first attempt to land at San Luis
Obispo, but was obliged to give it
up. She next essayed to make the
rifle at Santa Barbara, and that
effort, also, proved futile. So did q
similar attempt to land at Santa
Monica yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock, the sea running too high
to admit of tying up to the wharf.
Finally, by using a canoe" the
Los Angeles passengers were trans
ferred from the Senator to the lit
tie steamer which plies between
the outer harbor aud Wilmington.
The Senator made no attempt to
land any other Los Angeles freight

The malva and castor bean plants
are springing up again as they
have not done for the past four
years. The vacant property oppo-
site the Pico House is beginning to
be ornamented with them. And
speaking OF that splendid old year
reminds us of story. A photo
grapher kept gallery at that
time opposite the Pico House, in a
'dobie building. The rains were SO
violent and voluminous that the
'dobie building, notwithstanding
the presence OF the sun artist and
his properties, slowly began to
melt. When the edifice had been
pretty completely dismantled a
rival photographer brought his
camera to stand in front of the
Pico House and deliberately took a
picture of the ruins of his
competitors abode. 80 pronounced

season.
Neither the express nor emigrant
trains from San Francisco arrived
yesterday, having been detained at
Delano, not Caliente, as reported
by an evening paper, by washout
near that place. A large force Of
men was set to work and at seven
O'Clock last evening Superintend-
ent Hewitt was advised that the
damage had been repaired and the
down train was expected at Mejavs
at 9:15 last night and would reach
here about O'Clock this morning.
The only other damage reported
along the line of the road was q
slight washout between Lang's and
Newhall, which had been repaired,
and the road is again in good order.
Four youths were up before
Judge Peel yesterday charged with
breaking into an unoccupied house
belonging to Msndel Meyer, at the
Junction Of Upper Main and Ala
media streets. The boys admitted
having been in the house, but
claimed that they had found the
door open and went In for shelter
from the rain. There being no
other evidence, they were dis
missed. Two boys charged with
malicious mischief in throwing
stones at an old mans house
proved an alibi and were dis
charged.
The brother of Mr.. Louis Brandt,
the bridegroom in the approaching
Brandt Polaski nuptials, arrived
in Los Angeles on the overland
train this morning. By the way,
we learn that Mr.. V. Dol, of the
Commercial Restaurant, has been
busy for days on the wedding re-
past, which fact assures its being
of specially sumptuous charac-
ter.
A member of the Dauntless base
ball club informs us that they have
sent challenge to the Santa Ana
club to play o match game at that
place on the ,23d instant. AS yet
they have not received an answer,
but whether they do or not, the
Dauntless boys will visit Santa
Ana on the day named.
AS will be seen by notice under
the proper head, Mr.. A. M. Camp

the newly welded couple great
deal Of happiness and many years
} in which to enjoy it.
