OFFICIAL TEXT RECEIVED.
County Clerk Potts Receives the 0ficial
Transcript Of Two Important Bills.

County Clerk Potts yesterday re-
ceived official transcripts of Assem-
bly, Bill No. 500, amending section
3747 of the Political Code, in rela-
ton to the collection of taxes in
Los Angeles county, and of Assem-.
bly, Bill No. 3l4, which authorizes
the Board of Supervisors of Los
Angeles county to build and estab-
lish County Almshouse and
Hospital therein, and TO issue
bonds for the payment of the same.
The first bill provides in section
one that the notice published by
the Tax Collector must specify he
office of the Collector as the place
where taxes may be paid. The
second section simply stlpulates
that the act shall take effect from
and after its passage.
The second act is voluminous.
Section one recites that, for the
purpose of providing means for the
purchase of tract or tracts of land
in the county of Los Angeles, and
for the erection thereon of build
ings suitable for County Hospital
and Almshouse, the Board of Su.
pervisors are authorized and EN-.
powered to prepare suitable bonds
OF said county, in an amount not
to exceed $25. 900, of $500 each,
gold coin of the United States,
bearing interest at the rate of seven
per cent. per annum, the principal
payable on the lst day Of January,
A. d. 1890.
Sc elton two is entirely technical
and need not be particularized.
Section three authorizes the
Board to sell the whole amount of
the $25, 900 issue of bonds, at any
time, on giving thirty days notice,
inviting proposals for their sale, in
one newspaper published in San
Francisco and one newspaper pub.
lished in Los Angeles.
Section four provides special
tax as a Sinking Fund for the re-
demption OF the bonds, to be col
lected when the State and County
taxes are collected, which shall not
exceed three cents Oil each hundred
dollars of the real and personal
property in said county. The fund
derived from this tax shall be set
aside and applied exclusively to
the payment of the interest and
the final redemption of these
bonds. This fund is to be known
by the name of the "Los Angeles
Hospital Interest and Sinking
Fund"
Sections 5 and 6 are purely min
isteriaI. relating to the manner of
redemption and cancellation Of the
bonds.
Section seven provides Lat if the
Hospital and A Inns House are loca.
tod together, the location shall be
in the city of Los Angeles. The
Board of Supervisors, however,
may separate tho location of the
Hospital and the Aims House, in
which event the Hospital shall be
located in the city of Los Angeles
and the Aims House either in the
city or elsewhere in the county.
Sections eight and nine are purely

Attempt at Highway Robbery.

Capt. Green, Janitor at the Court
House, yesterday filed an informa
ton before Judge Peel charging a
man named Magnus Shabin with
having assaulted him with the pur-
pose Of committing highway rob-
berry. The circumstance as Green
relates them are substantially as
follows: About dusk on Thursday
evening Green got on one of BLISS
trucks to ride home. Sbabin who
lives in the same neighborhood,
was Oh the same truck and rs they
neared Flower Street he got off and
started across some vacant lots.
Green remained on the truck till it
reached Flower street, when he,
also, got off and started along the
street. AS he progressed Shabin,
who had creuched in some malvas,
sprang upon him aud said: "Now
I've got you and | want your
watch" at the same time striking
at Green, who parted the blow
Shabin then kicked at him, which
Green also eluded, and said to him,
"If you do that again | shall
hurt you" Shabiu kicked at
him u second time, when
Green, who meanwhile had taken
out his pocket knife, made slash
at him, cutting him in the leg and
also in the arm. At this point u
Mr.. Franklin, who had overheard
the loud talking and recognized
Green's voice, holloaed to know
what was the matter. When he
came up Green told him what had
happened and asked him to assist
in capturing Shabin. but that indi-
viduai had made himself scarce.
Green then came down to the po-
lice office and related what he had
done.
AS an Offset to this statement
Shabin has has made an informa.
ItiOn in the same Court against
Green for an assault with deadly
weapon. Both cases will he inves-
tigated at 10 O'Clock this morning,
when, we have no doubt, this
rather mixed case will be straight
ened out.

A Melancholy Affair.

When the case of the People vs..
e. s. Parker, indicted for dissuad-
ing witness from attending in
the cases of the People VS.. Waller
and same vs.. Parker, was called up
in the County'Court, yesterday, it
was postponed by the Court on ac-
count Of the grave illness of the
defendant, Parker, certified to by
his physician. twill be remem-
bered by our readers that Waller,
the principal in the killing Of
Foncll, got one year in the peni-
Tertiary, and that the Jury which
afterward tried Parker as accessory
brought in verdict which admit
ted of no option upon the part of
Judge Sepulveda but sentencing
him for ten years to the States
Prison. The shock of this sentence
has been so great that Parker's
reason has been completely un-
hinged. Not only that, but his
wife, a most estimable lady, is
also complete physical wreck.
This train of calamities has excited
great sympathy for Parker amongst
those who are familiar with his
case, and who believe that his ut
most offence was the indulgence in
some rash words which he never
dreamed would eventuate in any
illegal act. We learn, from relia-
BILE authority, that Parker is not
only sick, but u stark, raving ma
MAC. He imaglnes himself to be
In San Quentin, and all his acts
and words are predicated on that
superstition.

We notice by the New York San

the machine, something on the
principle of the telephone, which
bottles up q mans speech after he
has talked into it, and ieproduces it
after any desired time has passed

The ladies Of the M. E. Church
South held festival last evening
at Turnverein Hall. The threat
ening state of the weather over

tainment from being as pecuniarily
successful, probably, as its friends
contemplated. There was fail
attendance, however. Rev. Mr.

santa Monica Items.
from the Outlook. |

Judge Venable, one of the Depu-
ty County Assessors, has been in
our midst for several days, trying
to find out how much we are all
worth.
The steamers Orizaba and A neon
are now carrying good number OF
passengers and an unusually large
quantity of freight to and from this
port.
w. s. Vawter, who is making
the assessment for the special
school tax in this district, thinks
the levy will not be more than Is
cents on the hundred dollars.
A new arrangement has been
made for the accommodation of ex-
cursionists to the seaside. Hereaf-
ter tickets will be sold on Saturdays
and Sundays at Los Angeles, good
for trip from that city to Santa
Monica and return on Saturdays.
Sundays and Mondays. Fare for
the round Lrip-adults, ST.; children
from five to twelve years, so cents.
Among our visitors last week !,
there were five young men who
came on horseback from Santa
Barbara. They had heard of our
famous seaside resort; and like the
Queen of Sheba when she
visited So lomon, found that the
half had not been told---up at
Santa Barbara.
Mr.. Perkins, of the Lodi House,
was digging hole yesterday, when
he discovered live frog imbedded
in the earth, six feet below the sur
face. "Froggy" was put in a pool
of water, where he swan about for
while, when young rooster
came along and gobbled it up.
Inquiries continue to be made at
distance for accommodations at
Santa Monica this summer. Last
year every available space was
filled, and some three hundred
camped in Old Santa Monica cation.
That was a dry, hard season. Now
there is a certainty of flush times
ahead. Crops of every kind will
be abundant, and there are but few
who will not feel able to take more
or less recreation at the seaside.
Hence We look for u very large
crowd of visitors and campers. We
would suggest to all who have any
spare rooms to get them in "ship-
shape" No doubt they will be
called for.
Captain Debney of the Ancon.
made a landing with his steamer
at the Santa Monica wharf last
Thursday that surprised even the
most experienced cold salt" No
Jehu ever held pair of prancing
steeds more gracefully in hand than
he managed the Ancon. The ves-
sci floated in on a heavy sea that
has more than once deferred other
captains, and after she was made
fast the vessel was 80 propelled
back and forth as to counterfeit ev.
cry tendency of the rolling waters
to make the lines "taut." There
was little or o rubbing against the
wharf; not even the smallest line
was broken. The huge vessel
obeyed as if thing of life. And
it is worthy of special mention that
everything was done quietly, which
was in marked contrast when COM
pared with the swearing and rant
ing that has been witnessed on less
trying occasions.

A Suggestion to the Travel
ing Public.

Tourists. emIgrants and mariners find
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
medicinal safeguard against unhealthful
influences upon which they can impllc-
lily rely, since 1t prevents the effects that
an unhealthy climate, vitiated atmos-
phere, unaccustomed or unwholesome
diet, bad water, or other conditions un-
favorable to health would otherwise pro-
duce. On long voyages or journeys by
land in latitudes adjacent to the equator
1t is especially useful as a preventive Of
the febrile complaints and disorders OF
the stoma ch, liver and bowels which are
apt to attack natives OF the temperate
zones sojourning or travelling in such re-
gions, and 1t is an excellent protection
against the influence of extreme cold,
sudden changes of temperature. exposure
to damp or extreme fatigue. 1t not only
prevents intermittent and remittent fe.
vers, and other diseases of a malarial
type, but eradicates them, q fact which
has been notorious for years past in
North and South America, Mexico, the
West Indies, Australia and other coun.

A NEW KIND OF LlQUoR.-Dr.
Mierdue, a French colonial sur
geon, announces the discovery
of a new beverage, which has al
ready won popularity in Marseilles.
The liquor is distilled from the
leaves of the eucalyptus tree. 1t is
said to be pleasant to the taste and
not injurious to health, while pos
sessing some valuable medicinal
properties. The expectation is that
it will take the place of absinthe as
q stimulant; 1t is called eucalyp-
sinthe. Ifhalf the tales told about
the results of drinking absinthe be
true, 1t is quite time that a substi-
tute should be found for the extract
