A Splendid Emporium.

The Lewis Brothers, in the HERALD
building, have opened the most recher-
che boot and shoe store ever seen south
or north Of San Francisco. We doubt if
even the metropolis itself can challenge
a comparison with this business estab-
lishment. When lighted up by its two
electric lamps, it presents scene of
Aladdin-liko splendor. The show case
contains q study in foot gear, embracing
about everything neat. novel AID at
traetive in the whole range OF the bust
ness. A double line Of elegant sofas
extends the entire length of the store,
convenience which is rendered necessa-
ry by the incessant rush OF business at
this enterprising shoe emporium. The
LOWS Brothers have commanded success
in Los Angeles by a combination of bust
ness energy and unvarying politeness.
The good people, at this popular resort,
are certain to find everything which
could, by any possibility, be combined
in the stock of a boot and shoe store,
and at prices wonderfully low, when the
quality of the goods is considered.

The Fifth of May.

The social dance at Turnverein Hall
last night by the new Union Band in
honor of Ell cinco de Mayo, was per-
feet and most enjoyable success in every
particular, and we are glad to learn that
the musicians will net nice little sum
to add to their fund. After two well
rendered selections by the Union Brass
Band, its members resolved themselves
into an orchestra and dancing commefic-
ed, and continued until late hour, ex,
cept during the intermission for the
very excellent supper served in the
boyer at midnight by Lopez Brothers.
Much credit is due the floor managers,
Mcssrs. E. A. De Camp, C. L. Cruz, and
J. W. Griffin, for the excellent way in
which everything passed off.
Following are the names of the mem
bers of the band, with the instruments

Important Movements.

There appears to be very desirable
project on foot to combine the interests
Of the Pasadena and the Lake Vineyard
settlements and make uniform system
Of irrigation for both settlements. The
Pasadena colony has purchased in
creased water supply from La Canada
and from the verdugo Rancho, besides
putting in large pump to raise water
from the reservoir springs. This gives
that colony an abundance of water at
a high elevation, so that they are indie
pendent of rainfall, having four diff
ferent water supplies. Mr.. J de Barth
Shorb will probably sell to the company
his interests in the lands of the Lake
Vineyard when that colony and the
Pasadena colony will unite in develop
ing and maintaining one Of the finest
water supplies in California, independ-
ent of any riparian decisions of courts.
The two settlements will have $50, 900
fruit trees that will add largely to the
wealth of the country,

Fine sport Ahead.

The coming fifty mile race, to take
place at the Park on the 18th instant,
promises to be quite as interesting, il
not more so. as any Of the previous
events. By invitation of Mr.. Story, one
of the proprietors Of the course, we sent
our reporter to the track, and found Mr..
Pugh at his exercises with string Of
horses that certainly look like racers.
His mounting and dismounting we have
never seen equaled except by his oppo-
nent, Mr.. G. NJ. Anderson, WHO, by the
way, is taking his daily exercise and is
reported to have a fine stable OF horses.
Both the contestants are experts in this
line OF riding and win undoubtedly be
backed for heavy amounts. Those who
care nothing for betting will see a very
novel and enjoyable race. The Messrs.
Kennedy & Story will take every pre-
caution to preserve perfect order and
will do all they can to please their
guests on the day of the race.

A Mud Mine.

1t will be remembered that about q
year ago a waterspout fell, in cafion
near the ranch. house of the TETON
rancho. raising Ell Paso crock SO high
that the effects were very destructive,
washing away all vegetation, and max
ing the canon as bare as desert. The
stream was at that time small, sweet and
pellucid. For the entire year succeeding,
however, the stream has been nearly
doubled in size, has never been clear,
and is even thicker with mud than the
Sacramento and American rivers at Sac
ramento. Neither has the vegetation
again appeared to any appreciablo ex-
tent, but the channel is enlarged. The
Kern county people think that the
cloudburst opened mud mine. hence
the change.

May VS.. 1oomis and vice Versa.

The Court Of Justice Ling, yesterday
was tho scene of two very interesting
trials, in which Mrs. Annie Il. May fig
ured in tho double role of prosecutris
and defendant, Mr.. A. II. Loomis TAX
ing the double character on the Other
side. The Courtroom was filled by
spectators, who took lively interest in
the proceedings.
The first case called was the People
VS.. A. r. Loomis, charged, on com.
plant of Annie Il, May, with disturbing
the peace. A number of witnesses were
examined on both sides, nearly all Of
whom testified to the use of violent
language by the defendant. Mrs. May,
among other violent expressions used by
the accused, stated that he said to her,
!" You lie like hell,
And you know 1t damned well"
An expression not only strong, but
good doggorel, as well.
The defendant was adjudged guilty;
and, time being waived, was sentenced
to pay fine of $50 or, in default,
be imprisoned for thirty days in the
county jail. He at once filed bond in
slOO to appeal the case to the Superior
Court.
The second case was that of the Peo-
pie vs.. Annie f. May, charged, on COM
plant OF A. r. Loomis, with petit lar
cany, the complainant alleging that she
had stolen a lot of lumber belonging to
him and used the same for her own pur-
poses. The prosecution failed to prove
that Mrs. May had taken the lumber
with intent to defraud him.
On motion of her attorney, nonsuit
was granted and the defendant dis
charged.
Col. G. Wiley Wells appeared for
Mrs. May and s. G. Hubbell, Esq. for
Mr.. Loomis. The opinion of those
present was that Justice Ling had made
righteous decisions in both cases.

Magnetism. the New Source of
Health.

DIR. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Healer,
respectfully informs the public that he
has opened an office in the city of Los
Angeles. DIR. Robbins discards the use
of surgery, drugs, minerals and all other
medicines in his treatment and relies
solely on the powers of magnetism. An
experience of several years in the AUS
tralian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands of
persons, enables him to assert with con-
fidence that he can cure diseases which
have defied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The airwe breath is charged
with it. tits the vital force emanating
from all persons and that which con-
meets the soul with the body. In sup
port of this theory he cures acute pains
instantly, local pains in few days, and
builds up the most shattered constitu-
tions in short time. DIR. Robbins, who
has worldwide reputation for his ex-
traordinary cures of difficult and COM
plcated diseases, possesses power to
relieve and cure allkinds Of disease. DIR.
Robbins diagnoses diseases free of charge
without explanation from the patient.

Mysterious Death.

About o'clock last evening, as the
housemaid at the residence Of William
Bryson, on Buena Vista street, entered
the half opened door of room which
had been occupied by Mr.. w. Monroe
Elliott, she saw him on his knees with
his head leaning on the bed and one
arm across his breast, and as he did not
answer as she spoke to him she looked
closely and saw that he was dead. Cor
oncr Nadeau was summoned and the
remains were examined by him and re-
moved to Ponet & Orr's undertaking
parlors where an inquest will be held
this morning at 0 o'clock
Mr.. Elliott appeared to be man
about thirty years old. Of genteel ap-
pearnnce and dress. He was a native
Of Holmes, Pike county, Miss, where
it appeared by his numerous letters
that he had brother, J.Wesley Elliott,
to whom dispatch has been sent an
nouncing the death of his brother. An
examination of his papers and valise,
which was packed for trip to New
Mexico, showed no hint of any de-
sire to commit suicide and no signs
of violence or poison were seen about
his person, or found in the room.
There was no money about his clothing
or in his baggage, and the conclusion Of
his acquaintances was that he was i'm
pecunious, and being out of situation
he committed suicide by taking poison.
The deceased was a member of the
Downey City Lodge of A. o. U. w.,
and had been clerk at that place for
Baruch & Loew. He had also been a
clerk in Los Angeles for Messrs. Eugene
Meyer Il Co., and for short time re-
Gently salesman in j. s. Robinson's
atore in Spring street. Further evidence
will be obtained at the inquest this
morning, and clue to the cause of his
death will probably be obtained. From
accounts in his valise it appears that he
had been engaged in the cotton trade in
Texds before coming to Los Angeles.
Only an hour or SO before he was found
dead he was OH the street in his usual
health, and his sndden and unexpected
death is mystery.
