Santa Barbara Press: MIR. M


last night from Ventura, and in
coming around by the beach below
the Rincop, found Mr.. A, Harris,
wife and boy, with their load OF
household goods, caught by the
tide. They were compelled to un-
load the wagon on the beach and
themselves take to the high rocks,
while the mules were taken out
and had climed as high as they
were able. The wagon had not
been washed away, but was in q
very precarious position, and had
the tides been as high as they were
some time back, the party would
have lost everything and been in
great danger themselves. Our in
formant says that Mr.. Tom Cra-
vens, of Carpenterla, came along
about the same time and helped
Mr.. Harris out and sent him on his
way rejoicing.
Arrived at Wilmington, Novem-
Der 23d, steamer Orizaba, from San

We regret to learn OF the death
of Major Frank Ball, which oc-
Cured at the County Hospital the
other day. The Major was an old
time pioneer, for years connected
with the press of California and
his demise will be unexpected to
his friends, who had not been ad-
vised of his illness. He was buried
several days before they heard of
the sad event. He was n genial
and honorable man, whose good
fortune was not equal to his deserts.
The management of the Unita-
rian Thursdays entertainments in
tend that the ono which takes place
on Thanksgiving evening shall
eclipse all that have preceded it.
In addition to readings, recitations
and tableauX. the seXtettes, from
Lucia and Ernani, which gave
such unbounded satisfaction at the
Knell concert, will be repeated.
The entertainment will conclude
with refreshments and the usual
social dance.
The Workingmen held meeting
in front of the Court House last
night. 1t was fairly attended.
Amongst others it was addressed
by City Attorney Godfrey, who
failed, however, to give q satisfao.
tory account as to how he and ex-
Mayor Toberman became full
fledged Workingmen, between two
days, as it were. Mr.. Connolly,
gen ntIeman who exhibited consider
able oratorical power, was o new
speaker, and made favorable inn
preston upon the audience.
A locksmith on X street has
neighbor named Love, and when
the latter got lifted over a six-board
fence and landed in rosebush by
an indignant goat, the locksmith
rather had the laugh on Love.
Which is n reversal of the old saw
that Glove laughs at locksmiths."
SENT. mi.1ropic.
Now if ex-Mayor Toberman
would only explain how he came
to be such heavy employer and
protector of Chinese labor his cam
didacy would be far more satisfac-
tory to those Workingmen who
think they have been swindled in
their leading nominees.
We direct attention to the adver-
tisement of nicely furnished rooms
in our New To-Day.
