About dusk yesterday evening q
respectable looking old man called
at the drug store of Messrs. Preuss
& Pironi, and asked for fifty cents
worth OF nitric acid. Mr.. Pironi
asked him what he wanted so
much for, when he replied that he
wished to take 1t himself-that he
was tired of life. Mr.. Pironl noti-
fed the police and the man was
taken into custody and locked up,
to prevent his carrying out his
seemingly serious intention OF
making away with himself.

Congressman g. P. Berry, who
passed through Los Angeles yes
terday morning, we learn from the
Tombstone, Arizona, Epitaph, lie
on his way to Texas to purchase a
sheep ranch, not that he intends
to live in that State, but, as he ex-
pressed it in letter to his brother
in-law, who lives at Tom bstone, he
wishes "to have something to leave
to his children" After visiting
Texas, Mr.. Berry will continue his
Journey so as to arrive at Washing
ton in time for the opening of Con-
greaa.
Turn Verein Hall was crowded
last night, the principal attraction
being the comedy of "One Hour in
Fairyland," 10 which Mise Hor-
tense Sacrlste displayed dramatic
ability Of so high an order as to
elicit the delighted applause of the
spectators. The other performers
also acted admirably aud received
unstintsd applause. During the per.
Torrance the young lady attend
ants at the booths were not idle,
but took advantage OF the general
good humOr and consequent liber-
ality to take in shekels to swell the
fund for the benefit OF the orphans.
The Fair will close this evening,
when we hope to again see the
house crowded with generous CIV
ers.
Monday night the Carusi Troupe
will give a concert at Turnverein
Hall, which will be under the aus
pices of the best people in Los An
geles. 1t will be superb affair,
both from musical and apprecia.
tive point OF view. 1t ia Intended
as q compliment to the Signorins
Inez Carusi, who, rs an artistic and
q woman, has extOrted most APP
preciative recognition in those
portions OF Southern California
which have been favored by heI
exquisite vocal, harp and plano
performances. With perhaps two
exceptions, the Carusi concerto
have been the most artisiic anC
admirable known In Los Angelo!
during the past five years. AS q
very large audience is assured in
any event, 1t Is to be hoped that
the population at large will CON-
tribute to the ecat of a deserved
compliment. Turnvereln Hall,
Monday night, ought to be crowd
ed to its utmost capacity, both in
auditorium and gallery.
The jury in the case OF Daniel
Hazard, tried in the City Court
last Thursday on the charge o
malicious mischief In removing
the buildings from a leased portion
OF the Rosecrapz tract, brought
In a verdict Of not guilty
This was an action growing out oil
the famous Rosecranz suits, Mr.
Hazard having been one OF the
settlers defendants. 1t appears
that Mr.. Hazard, on the decision
of the supreme Court in the case Of
RosecraDz vs. Douglas ct AL, In
which the settlers were beaten,
and in which the same Issues were
tried, fled an abandonment of his
presumption claim and leased the
premises from Mr.. Bicknell, tue
agent of General R0secranz. Ca the
expiration Of his lease, he removed
the buildings which had been
erected by himself and for which
he was arrested, he holding that al
nothing had been said about the
improvements In the lease, that ht
was entitled SO to do. The jury
evidently held the same view ant
rendered a verdict as noted above
