About ii o'clock last night messen-
ger arrived in the city from the rancho
of Mr.. P. GARNER, about five miles west
Of the city, on the Monte Vista road,
and reported that Mr.. GARNER had been
beaten in terrible manner by man in
his employ, and left for dead After
the terrible affair the assailant is said to
have come to Los Angeles. Further

About l2 o'clock last night small
house attached to the greenhouse and
nursery of Mr.. Weinhold in East Los
| Angeles, was discovered to be on fire,
but before the engines could reach the
place, the building was entirely con
sumed, and among the ruins were found
the remains OF young man who had
been in the employ OF Mr.. Weinhold. His
name was reported to be Clark, but at
this writing it is not known what his
name really was, or how the FIRE origi-
mated. This fire shows the necessity Of
locating an engine and hose cart near
the new depot to be Of service on each
side Of the river.
The order changing the carrying Of
the mail from Cotton to San Bernardino
goes into effect on the first of December,
after which date stage service will be
discontinued. An effort will be made to
| get the G. s. r. X. to run special be-
tween this place and Riverside after that
date, in order to accommodate the traffic
between the two points. Unless this is
done, or some change made in the rail-
road time, we shall not get our mail,
which now comes at 4:30, until $3.50,
when the regular train from San Diego
arrives, and this would be great incon-
venience to our business men.-lSan Ber.

The Sunday law business which excited
Los Angeles in 1882, has taken hold OF
New Mexico in an aggravated form. 1t
appears that person died on Sunday,
November 4th, at Las Vegas in defiance
of the Sunday law; one John Bell at
| tempted to put up some emblems Of
mourning on the house of the bereaved
friends. Messrs. Gross, Black well & Co.,
and was arrested and fined for doing the
deed on Sunday. Now why in the name
Of all the blue laws at once did they not
fine the person that died for dying on
Sunday? There appears to be some
thing lacking. New Mexico and Texas
are now ahead of Los Angeles, and full
abreast of New Haven, Connecticut.
There will be fun when this New Mexi.
can law is applied to the Comanches,
Apaches. Navajos, Zunis and Moquis,
in that Puritan territory.
1t will be good news to the neighbors
and friends of Don Antonio Coronel, to
know that he is preparing sketch of
the life and distinguished services of
Father Junipero, who by his wisdom,
courage and craftsmanship, saved Cali
fornia from falling into the hands of the
British and the Russians, both of which
nations were striving to obtain it; and
one or the other would have seized it as
a conquest had it not been for this emil
nent priest and statesman. That Cali
fornia is to-day part of the American
Union is primarily owing TO the genius
and wisdom of Father Junipero. This
work of our esteemed fellow citizen is
labor Of love and will be gratefully re.
ceived by the citizens Of Los Angeles and
in fact Of all California,
The crop of November meteors, com
monty called shooting stars, is rather
light this year. Between o'clock and
daylight, in the morning, a few are seen
in the northeastern sky, but nothing
especially noticeable. In 1900 the regu-
lar meteoric storm will take place and be
sight worth beholding. The last great
shower was in 1867, Nov. l4th, and was
a fine display. The preceding shower
was in 1888, and was a wonderful sight.
These showers occur in force in 33i
years, but little wayfaring fellows or
