Another evidence OF the superstition pre-.
vailing among the colorcd people was brought
out yesterday In the Police Court. Washington
Chllds, six.foot, well proportioned colored
man, charged his wife with biting him through
the hand and otherwise maltreating him. He
swore that she beat him over the body with n
chair, and Just used him az II he were n foot
ball. Tho woman testified that she was n true
and loving wife, and that washlngtons story
was n tribe of color to suit the occasion.
"Why, Judge" said the woman, 'if | wanted
to lose my teeth would bite him" The Judge
asked her whnt she meant by loosing her
teeth, and she said that few nights since
her husband and n colored woman had fight,
and the woman bit him through the hand.
He then went TO n voudoo doctor, who gavc
him preparation which, he said, would cause
every tooth TO drop out OF the woman's mouth.
This he used, and believes that tho woman
Will lose her teeth In the course of q little
time. Judge Smell asked Mrs. Chld's II she
believed In such superstition, and she said
she did The testimony In the case being
about evenly balanced, the Judge put both
parties under bonds TO keep the peace.

A Valuable Citizen Dead.

In the death Of Mr.. Edward
Maud, which occurred at Santa
Monica yesterday morning, Los
Angeles loses valuable and en-
terprising citizen whose energy
has done much to develop the re-
sources of our city and whose
place 1t will bs hard to fill.
Mr.. Maud came to California di.
rect from France in 1850. He was
then but boy of 10 or II years,
and came to this country alone,
to carve his own way. He stayed
in San Francisco about six years in
the employment of restaurant,
and in 1855 came to Los Angeles.
He soon started restaurant of his
own and conducted it in connec.
ton with his pastry business very
successfully for number of years.
Selling out, he leased the rooms adj
joining the Pico House and opened
wine rooms there. In this depart
ment his business increased
so fast that, in 1871, he
became the partner of Mr..
Mascarel, and together with him
conducted the wine business on a
much larger scale. Being now a
well-established and successful
man of business, he in 1876 made a
trip to his home In France to visit
friends and relations. There he
was married, and with his wife
soon after returned to this city. He
and Mr.. Mascarel built together
the Mascsrel block. About three
years and a half ago he COM
menced the erection of his large
warehouse onAlameda street, where
a very extensive and successful
business has since been carried on.
He has just finished very i'm
portant addition to his warehouse,
and his affairs were in u flourish
ing condition. His warehouses
have been of great benefit to the
community generally, aud especial
ly to farmers. By their establish
ment every farmer was enabled to
store his produce, when it became
at once Il negotiable article upon
which he could secure accommo-
dations from the banks. Thus the
farmers, instead Of being forced to
sell his crop on a low market was
to carry 1t for a rising
)ne.
Mr.. Naud's death, as we learn,
was caused by very curious cir
1t seems that he was
sorting wool in his loft, and that
,ome of it had been clipped from |
,cabby sheep, and was consequent
" poisonous. After handling this |
infected wool, he touched portion |
Of his person which was bleeding,
and thus inocculated himself with |
The poison from the wool. His |
blood was thorough impregnated
with the poison, and Mr.. Maud be-
came another victim to py@mia.
