Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-11-17
In calling the attention Of our


readers to the classic programme OF
the Knell concert, to be given at
Turnverien Hall on Thursday next,
we desire to call special attention
to the announcement that Miss
Nesly Stevens has kindly consent
ed to assist. Miss Stevens Is a
graduate of Vassar College, and
having had unusual facilities for
study, combined with extraordin-
ary talent, we>aro assured by those
who have heard her play, that she
is an unusually fine performer and
will afford rare treat to all lovers
of piano music OF the classic school.
We would parenthetically add that
Miss Stevens is niece of our
worthy townsman, Mr.. l. w. Lord,
and through his persuasion we will
be indebted for the luxury of lis
teniDg to her artistic playing. We
understand that all of the numbers
on the programme have been ex-
cellently we'll rendered in rehearsal
and give promise of being the finest
event of the season.
Last evening, while Edward
Schultz was taking a drink in sa-
loon, man named Gaines made
some insulting remark because he
was not invited to join. Schultz
resented the insult, when the two
clinched. James d. Hill, friend
of Gaines's, who was standing near,
passed an open pocket knife
to Gaines with which the
latter struck Schultz just
above the ear, inflicting an
ugly cash. Fortunately the knife
blade broke, or it would have pen
etrated to the brain. Gaines at
once fled, but was arrested by Of
flcer Smith a couple of hours after
wards. Hill was taken into custody
at once. Both are now in jail and
will be examined before Judge Peel
Tomorrow. DR.. Worthingt0n was
summoned and sewed up Schultz's
wound.

The changes and repairs in the
Public Library quarters progress
slowly. Gov. Downeyis mechanics
are engaged in making very thor
ough alterations In that portion of
the block, and the work has all to
go along together. AS the Cover
nor is making these improvements
entirely at his own cost and ex
pense. the trustees of the library
cannot consistently hasten the
work. 1t will take the greater
portion of this week to finish, and
when complete the public will not
be disposed to complain at the tenn
porary Inconvenience.
1t is a curious fact that our sea-
port towns are commercially the
most reliable. Santa Monica and
Wilmington merchants and dealers
are both capital pay, so one of our
leading wholesale merchants in-
forms us. In transactions during
the past three years with Santa
Monica this gentleman's firm has
only lost 5000 in sales of $50, 900,
while Wilmington, also, as GUS
toner, has approved herself as
good as gold.
