terday on the charge of destroying and
injuring the public jail. Hall was held
in 5000 bail for trial. The charge against

dence to connect him with the offence.
Both the accused are now serving out O
sentence of sixty days each on the chain
gang.
| We direct the attention of keepers of
livery stables and owners of horses to the
advertisement of the XXX horse medi-
cine, which is pronounced by all who
have used it to be an infallible cure for
lameness, sprains, bruises and the other
ills to which horse flesh is heir. Mr..
George r. Butler, of the Fashion sta
bles. this city, who has found it an eff
cacious remedy, recommends!Sit in the
strongest terms to all owners of horses.
At Agricultural Park yesterday after

On Wednesday, while Mrs. Dan. Ke-
vane was driving some cattle out of the
yard at their place, near San Fernando,
she was attacked by bull and severely
injured. The infuriated animal tossed
her about, tramping upon her aud liter
ally tearing all the clothes off her back.
He afterwards gored her, inficting an
ugly cash, about six inches long, upon
her abdomen. The injured lady was
brought to the city yesterday, in care
of Judge Moffitt's family, for medical
treatment.
The third of Raymond's excursion par
ties, consisting of sixty-six persons, ar
rived by regular train from the East last
evening. They are principally from
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and are
quartered at the Pico House and Cosmo-
politan Hotel. The party will spend
three or four days in Los Angeles and
will then proceed by detachments to the
Yosemite and other points of interests in
the State. To-day those stopping at the
Pico House will visit Santa Monica and
those at the Cosmopolitan the Sierra
Madre Villa and vice versa the next

The following railroad and telegraph
officials arrived in Los Angeles by spe-
cial train last evening en- route to the
front on tour of inspection: General

Yesterday we had the pleasure of
visit from Mr.. E. e. Overall, of the
Ne,os, of Palestine, Texas, who has re-
turned from the northern part of the
State for the the purpose of spending
week, or more, in our city, which he
considers by far the most agreeable place
that he has seen in his trip. Palestine is
a great railway center, and, Mr.. Overall
is confident, will prove to be an excel
lent market for many of the products of
our county. California -four is in de-
mand there, for it is found to be su-
perior in quality to that from St. Louis,
while it is sold at less price. Our fruits
and wines would also meet with q ready
sale. Mr.. Overall is taking in our pub
lie schools, a subject in which he is
deeply interested. He himself is q
great worker in the cause of improving
the public school system of Texas, al
ready one of the best in the country.
The editors of California are not often
found among those put prominently
forward for political preferment. This
year, however, is an exception to the
rule. The gentlemen who conduct
three of the leading Democratic journals
of the State are among those we hear
frequently and favorably spoken of by
the ticket-makers. Thomas L. Thomp-
son, of the Sonoma Democrat, is men
toned as an available man for Secretary
OF State He is veteran in the service
of the party, and well qualified for any
position that he may be called on to
fill. w. s. Green of the Colusa sam, is
suggested as a fitting man to succeed
Cone as Railroad Commissioner. He is
universally recognized as one of the
ablest and fairest writers of the State,
and would be strong candidate for any
place. Joseph d. Lynch, of the Los
Angeles HERALD, is brought forward by
his friends for nomination as one of the
candidates for Congress at large. He
has big body, big brain and big
heart, and therefore could appropri-
ately run sat large" He has kept the
