and people must get used to it.
The HERALD has received from Don
Victor Sepulveda. sample Of bitumin-
Gus coal from new mine discov.
cred in the San Fernando Valley, about
| fifteen miles southeast OF the San Fer
nando Mission, and named the Orion
mine. The coal appears to be very pure
carbon. free from Stag or sulphur. and If
large vein can be secured the discov-
cry will be Of great value to this city.
The opening OF this vein Is lookel for
with great interest, aud shoald be done
as soon as possible.
@. G. Craig, the brakeman who was
SO severely injured in the railroad acci-
dent at tile bridge over the Santa Ana
river, near Coltop, on "Wednesday. Oct.
3lst. died ut the Palace Hotel, Cotton,
OF 4 P NJ. yesterday. from the effects Of
his injuries. Felix Mccormick, a tramp.
who was injured in the same accident,
died from his injuries. at the same
place, yesterday forenoon. Both men
received every attention from the phys-
clans OF the Railroad Company but their
wounds we're OF such character that
their recovery was impossible.
Will the City Surveyor see the pro.
priety of changing the channel Of the
gutter at the corner Of Spring and Tenn
pie streets, and cause the water to turn
the corner and run down Spring street to
cleanse the cutters on that thoroughfare
instead Of Running across the street TO
choke up the other Temple street cul-
vert so that the water runs over into
| Temple Block cellar and into the build
ings from Heizeman's to the U. s. Ho-
tel. There is too much water permitted
to enter Main street from Temple. Part
Of it should go down Spring street.
Only few months ago Lieutenant
Governor Daggett and his estimable
wife were bereaved OF little daughter,
the sunshine of the houshold; and now
we learn that the little manly courteous
lad who was the first born and pride OF
the family, Master John Bell Daggett,
who walked our streets few days since
in the fullness Of health sis in the
ohurchyard laid" The sympathies Of
the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Daggett are
extended to them in their second and
overwhelming sorrow. but only those
who have passed through such crush
| ing disappointment can enter into the
bitterness of their reflections.

tsrday fled for record 10 the County
| Recorders office notice OF location OF
a coal mining claim in the San Fernando
mountains, 10 miles southwest Of The
| San Fernando Mission. This is re-
location Of an abandoned claim that was
worked by parties whose names are not
| given, in the year 1874 or 1875. The
| cosl ven is said TO be three feet wide,
and. should il prove permanent. Judging
from a specimen left ut the HERALD
Office by Mr. Sepulve1a. it will be the
most valuable discovery ever made in
the county, and will certainly be the
means Of enriching its finders.
By the politeness Of Col. Gray. the
Superintendent of the new Opera House
building We yesterday had the pleasure
| OF inspecting that edifice. which is now
rapidly taxing shape AMI significance.
4 The stores in front are now putting on
| the j5ists over the first stesy, While the
floor joists Of the ptr4uetre aud dress
circle are in position, ani The frame Of
the prosceui1m boxes has been erected.
The rear walls are nearly complete,
and the frame work of the gallery will
soon be placed in position. Col. Gray is
crowding the work forward with good
success, and will soon show the people
Of Los Angeles beautiful Temple of
the MUSES..
Deputy Sheriff George p. McLain
went up to Sacramento last evening to
bring down John Tanner, who was ar
rested en- route East on telegram from
Deputy Sheriff Gard. Tanner is wanted
here to answer to several charges Of EN-
bezzlement and an attempt to defraud
his creditors. /. is alleged that Tanner,
who was in partnership with s. B.
johnson, at the corner OF Main and
Second streets, collected money belong
ing to the firm and appropriated it 10
his own use. He is also said'to have OBJ
tanned $500 from lady to invest in an
oil well which be claimed that he was
boring. Besides these there are num-
ber OF parties from whom he obtained
goods on credit. They are all anxious
for his return. Great credit is due to
Major Gard, who, by use of the railroad
compaDy's telegraph line on Sunday,
effected his capture.
The attention of the Health Officer
and the Board Of Health is called to the
condition Of the cutters in Spring street
and Main street. In several places
they are obstructed by stones which
builders and sidewalk makers have left
in them, 80 that IL smsit rain should
fall the cutters would choke up and
overflow the street or the sidewalk.
The stencil ON Main street, nearly oppo-
site Bright's store, is pestiferous in the
worst degree. The same may he said of
the west side of Spring street, opposite
the Court House. Will the people toll
crate such things any longer? These
cutters are disgrace to the city. Will
the Committee on Streets see that all
parties engaged in building along the
streets Of the city shall keep the cutters
open so that there shall be no ponding
up OF water as was done at the time Of
the last rain? The subject is import
ant, and deserves immediate attention.
A terrible runaway occurred yesterday
afternoon in front Of Downey Block,
when span Of horses belonging to Mr..
J. W. Taylor. and attached to buggy,
broke away from the driver, who was
holding them by the reins from the
ground. and plunged into the throug Of
teams that are usually hitched in front
OF that block. In the crash that fol-
lowed they upset buggy and injured
lady quite seriously, who was sitting in
the buggy, when they next tried bug
Qy and an express wagon with poor sue
cess, terminating at last in brick cart,
against which they smashed the buggy
to pieces and ran wildly into Sonora
town, whero they were captured. The
damage is destruction Of one buggy.
and the the breaking Of two more bug
gies, and the surgeons bill for the in
jury to the lady, in all, very serious
job. How the horses became frightened
we were unable TO learn; but, as they were
powerful animals, it was impossible for
the driver To hold them while walking
on the ground beside them. Had he
been in the wagon it is possible that he
might have controlled the animals and
saved the trouble that followed,
Preoipitated Over Two Thousand
Feet.
