We have been requested by a

We have been requested by q
number of persons who live at
Pasadena aud San Gabriel to call
the attention of the proper author
tiles to the condition of the road
aligning Reservoir No. 5. For
some distance the roadway is so
narrow that two teams cannot pass
and on dark nights it is impossible
for drivers to see from one end of
the narrow place to the other. AS
a result, a few nights ago, two
heavily loaded wagons met mid
way and it was with the greatest
difficulty that one of the wagons
could be pulled out backwards to
allow the other to get through; and,
on Thursday night last, the vehicle
of a gentleman driving home after
dark was overturned, fortunately
without serious accident. This
nuisance has been in existence, we
think. about long enough, and we
call upon the Water Supply Com.
mittee to abate it before the city is
amerced for injuries to property,
perhaps life, on account OF .acci-
dents that may at any time occur.
Tho Express of yesterday, in no.
ticing the reduction of fares on the
Southern Pacific, on the round
trip, between Los Angeles and
San Francisco and Los Angeles
and Sacramento, from $46 to $34,
says that it is only FOR twenty days
In October. This Is a grossly inac-
curate statement. The reduction
is of Indefinite duration, perhaps
for all time. The twenty days has
reference simply to the time for
which each round trip ticket runs,
and it means that II the holder Is
longer than twenty days OH his
trip he loses the benefit of the re-
duction-simply that and nothing
more. This limit will embrace a
large class OF tourists aud business
men, for whom twenty days is am
pie margin.
A cutting affray occurred at the
house Of Antonio Rice, on Lemon
street, on Thursday morning at 8
o'clock. 1t seem that the notorl-
Gus Ramon Sepulveda visited the
house, and being somewhat intox-
icated, behaved boisterously and
rudely. He gave Mrs. Rice a slap
in the face, and she picked up q
table knife and stabbed him in tho
loins. The cut is a severe one, but
no serious consequences are ex-
pecied to ensue. The husband Of
the woman swore out a warrant
against Sepulveda for assault and
battery on Mrs. Rice, and he was
arrested and lodged in Jail. The
examination will take place in
Justice Athearn's Court as soon as
Sepulveda is able to appear.-Ana.

The Downey Courier of the sSth
says; There Is considerable excite
ment in Downey over rich silver
discoveries in the San Gabriel
cafion, about three miles from its
mouth, and extending many miles
uE the cation. It it said the lode
is thirty.twO feet broad, and well
defined. We have seen the pure
silver smelted out of some of the
rock brought in here. A large
lumber of persons have gone to
these new mines, which promise to
eclipse Silverado in richLess. A
broad wagon road up the cafion for
a long distance affords unusual
shipping facilities. The Jamison
mine is turning out very rich.
Mr.. Will L. VIsscher, who visited
this city with Captain Jacks COM
bination last winter, has assumed
editorial management of the Tu.
lsre Weekly Times. Mr.. Visscher
was at one time connected with
the San Francisco Mail and other
San Francisco papers, and, we have
no doubt, he will make the Times q
very readable paper.
