occasion. We would advise every
lover of thorough music to make
1t point to be present.
The people OF Los Angeles will
enjoy q rare treat at Turnverein
Hall tonight. The Lingard CON-
bination Is one of the most popu-
lar In the United States and has
drawn crowded and enthusiastic
houses In all the centers of fashion
on the American continent. "Stol-
en- Kisses" is said to be most cap
tivating drama and the Eastern
press has run through the whole
gamut of sdjectives of praise in
describing it. Let everybody be
there tonight.
| We would respectfully ask our
San Diego contemporary, the
Union, If, in congratulatlng Mr.. D.
Felsenheld on his appointment by
Minister Sargent as Secretary OF
Legation at the Court of Berlin, it

of Secretary of Legation is usu-
ally conferred upon men in high
standing in q party, and the APP
pointment is made by the Presi-
dent, "by and with tho advice and
consent of the SeDate," not by the
MISUNDERSTANDING or 9TH
erwlse-who has power only to APP
point his private secretary and the
clerks whose services are required
to transact the bushes OF the EN-.
bassy.
Mr. q. F. Smurr informed us
yesterday evening that negotia-
tions have been about completed
by which the merchants Of Los
Angeles will be enabled to receive
freights from the East, via the
Southern route. at about the same
rates AZ are now paid by San Fran.

amount heretofore paid on ship.

our merchants and will enable
them, by the exercise of proper
enterprise, TO secure and hold the

and large portion of Arizona.
The freight train which left this
city night before last was wrecked |
before it reached Sepulveda sta
ton, seven miles north OF the city. |
Ten freight cars were smashed to
smi theresns. The accident wss |
caused by broken car-wheel. A

patched to the scene of the acct.
dent and II 81 10 track built around |
the wreck, permitting the Atlantic
Express to pass, arriving here
about two hours behind time, yes
terday morning. The wrecked
train was loaded with railroad
material intended for use on the
Mejave branch of the road.
1t is decidedly unfortunate that
the Santa Monica Hotel remains
closed. Ii 1t had been running in
good style during the past winter
it would have been full during the
whole season. We understand
that the difficulty is that Senator
Jones is entertaining propositions
for the purchase of the ranch; and
that, for that reason, he has not
cared to lease the property for a
longer time than D year. As no.
body was willing to furnish it, at
an expense Of ten thousand dollars
or 90 on the guarantee of such q
short possession, those who desired
to profit by residence at the sea-
side have been unable to do go.
We heartily trust that during the
coming summer the hotel will pass
to competent hands.
We direct attention to the insur.

The taking of testimony in the
case of Hirsch VS., the Continental
