Property and Councllmanic Proposition.
EDITOR HERALD: l am reliably
informed that the Republican can
didate for Councilman In the Fifth
Ward, and some of his friends, are
trying to make capital for Colonel
Walter s. Moore as against the
favorite candidate for the same Of
fee, Mr.. g. F. Mcclellan, by say
ing that the latter gentleman is
not a property owner, while the
Colonel Is. happen to know that,
nearly two years ago, Mr.. cLel-
Ian purchased about five acres Of
land within the city limits and
still holds 1t, and refer those inter-
ested to book No. GO of deeds, page
1876 ct seq. of the records of Los An
geles county. In addition he is
the practical owner of one of the
neatest and most complete home
steads in this city.
How the Colonel got his proper
ty We all know, and as to his title
let us see. The Colonel IL, we be-
lieve, 81 years of age. The last war
commenced in 1861 and ended in
1865. Therefore he was perhaps q

uncertain, and the continuance oi
this much needed charity must de
pend upon largely increased
membership. The officers serve
without compensation. A careful
record OF all donations received and
distributed lie preserved, and the
financial system Of checks and bal

efficient. The annual fee for mem
bership lie only two dollars; no dues

eept to assist in the election oil

Yesterday forenoon an individ.
ual called at the office of County
Physician Harmon and asked,
"Are you the County Superintend-
ent?" "Yes," responded the doctor,
"what do you want?" "Well," re-
sponded the enquirer, "I'm from
Colorado, full of brandy, and want
to go to the County Hospital"
DR.. Harmon informed him that the
county did not receive patients in
that condition and advised him to
Interview the Chief of Police who
would probably furnish him with
suitable quarters. The would be
pensioner upon the public bounty
then left. After a short absence he
returned and renewed his request
to be admitted to the hospital, this
time changing the disease from
"full of brandyn to consumptio u +,
from which, he said, lie had suffere cd
terribly in the rigorous climate of
Colorado. DIR. Harmon, thinking
the change of disease was too sud-
den to be real, declined to issue the
desired permit. when the Colorado
invalid left his office muttering
curses not loud but deep at the in-
humanity of an official who refused
shelter to poor devil afflicted
with consumption.

down to San Diego has been ac-

letters that arrived there and
rifiing them of their contents for
months past. Part of the spoils
consisted of checks and drafts to O

Hidales, who was to go to Sonora

them cashed and remit one.half of
the amounts SO received to Nc
Partridge. The cashing of the draft
which led to the arrest of Hidales
in this city, was an afterthought of

still sixteen in number of very de-
structive, and in one instance (the Burs-
cough collision) disastrously fatal char
acter. There have been six serious COL

trains have been sent by the pointsmen
on the wrong lines. The dense fogs
which have prevailed can not have
directly broug ght about these cases,
though it might we'll be that under the
trying circumstances in which traffic in
many places had to be conducted points
men should lose their head or nerve.
Twice, however, when accidents have
been attributed to fogs, the fog-signals
do not appear to have been used. Five
trains ran off the metals, which points
to neglect of the permanent way or to
over speed at curves. There was run

lot of trucks on the top Of an incline,

During a mad course of two miles no OBJ

the only destruction was knocking down
wall and toppling over ON to towing
path below. The Lancashire and York
shire are responsible for one-fourth of
the casualties, Eight persons have been

The Tay Bridge investigation.
nr,d1s1a TAnfh

/ hear that great efforts are being made
at the Board Of Trade to burke the in
ouiry into the causes Of the Tay Bridge
disaster. Very little evidence was taken
in Scotland, and that little from persons
who were not residents close to the scene
Of the accident, and who consequently
were unable to express an opinion re-
specting the condition Of the bridge. 1t
was cheap construction, and the ques'
ton is whether the plan itself was faulty
or whether the iron, the bolts, and many
other such things we're not bad in ma
terial or workmanship. 1tis pretty clear
that something was wrong. The occa-
sional force Of the wind was well known
and those who caused the destruction of
train full Of passengers by erecting a
bridge that could not stand the strain Of
the wind upon it are responsible for what
occurred. Railroad directors must be
taught that to construct bridges which
are not safe, ION the cheap" is in the
end an expensive economy.
