using the coal from this mine in
the engine at his artesian well,
and it gives complete satisfaction.
A large lot OF the coal is being got
out for shipment.
Ever quick to initiate, the "ris-
Ing generation" attached to the
Pico House gave "spiritual ex-
pose" last night. Tickets that had
originally read "E. l.. Montrose's
Expose. Reserved seat. Admit
bearer" but on which 4" Z. L.
Montrose's" was scratched out,
were sold and found ready pur-
chasers at ten cents each. A mask
or two, which had done service in
Montrose's hands as "materialized
spirits''-notably one styled "The
Pirate"-and some other parapher-
MALTA left behind by the late alb
sconder, constituted the "proper-
ty" of the show. We were mystic
riously told that some of the Sc.
crets Of the cabinet business had
been intrustad, in a moment of
confidence, to the bsll-boy of the
house, and that that confidence
would be abused and the secrets
laid bare, but other engagements
prevented our attendance and we
are left in our original ignorance
in the matter. The troupe had
under discussion in the early part
of the evening whether they would
give spiritual performance one
night and an expose the next, or
would combine the two in one Ell
tertainment. The sample room in
the rear of the reading room was
used as a ball. The clerk says he
presented bill for ten dollars for
hall rent, but had not collected it
at latest accounts.
Albert Ontiveras was arrested
again OH Monday on a charge of
having caused tho death of Philo.
mena Jones, having been dis.
charged from custody on a similar
charge on the testimony given be.
foro the Coroner's jury. There was
some reason to think that the
woman died from the effects of the
injuries received at the hands of
Ontiveras and he was again arrest
cd. This morning several physi-
clans testified that the woman was
suffering from cerebro-spinal men,
nights when they saw her, shortly
after she had been struck by On
tiveras.-S. f. Bulletin, Jan. 30th.
"The ship King Philip" says the
Anaheim Gazette, "wrecked last
week in San Francisco bay, was
an unfortunate vessel. She met
with an accident of some kind on
nearly every voyage. We were
witness to one. In 1868, as we were
rounding the DEVILS Punch Bowl
and came into view of the harbor
of Honolulu, we saw smoke and
flames issuing from the hold of a
ship at anchor. Subsequent inqui-
ries developed that the ship was
the king Philip and that the
crew had mutinied and fired the
vessel. The flames were extin-
guished, but the ship was very bad
ly damaged, and the repairs cost
til ousands Of dollars"
We were shown yesterday even
ing a handsome silver ball, made
in imitation of the regulation base
ball, designed by Mr.. Fred Linde,
the engraver at Mr.. Thatcher's
jewelry store, to be competed for
as the champion prize by the base
ball clubs of Southern California.
The ball, which is valued at $50, is
handsomely engraved and will
bear the inscription "The Linde
Championship Prize" The frat
competing game will probably be
played in this city on the 22d inst,
Washington's Birthday.
The case of the People against
Jose M. Urquides ct al, set for trial
in Judge Carrillo's Court yesterday
at 10 A, M, was postponed until to-
day at the same hour, for want of
material testimony on the part OF
the prosecution.
The auction sale of furniture,
household goods and carpets will
be continued at w. Marxsen's, No.
l4S Main street, this (Friday) and
Saturday afternoons. This is q
rare chance for housekeepers to
buy goods at bedrock prices.
Mr.. ]. l.. Peters, of the we'll
known Eastern music publishing
house of Pet ers Is Bros, is paying
Los Angeles visit. He is regis
tered at the Pico House.
The Turn Verein Germania, we
understand, are making prepara-
tions to give grand masquerade
ball sometime in the early part of
March.
