joke on tho wrong Man.


On The Wtllmore excursion was

frolic In the first sleeper Mr.. Willmore
had his berth at the forward end to no.

Der Of excursionists on the train. When
the train stopped at Tucson an arch-eyed
widow and some maiiens fair arranged
joke for Mr.. Willmore. While he was
out Of the car for dinner they put
rolls OF shawls and blankets in his
bed and some billets of wood resting
on the pillow, over which they spread a
broad-brimmed hat giving the berth
the appearance of having masculine
occupant, and awaited the return
of Mr.. Willmore to the half
lighted car in the deepening twilight
But fortunately for Mr.. Willmcre, and
unfortunately for the conductor, Mr.. W.
went into the smoking car, and soon
after the train started, the new, polite
and genteel conductor entered the car,
and turning to the Willmore berth, firm.

"Tickets," quite loudly; but no re.
sponse. A giggle began to run round
the car, and loud and louder grew when
he punched the supposed sleeper with
his pencil in the ribs and shouted
TICKETS !" The giggle increased till
all the passengers shook like an ague
chill. Out of all patience, the furious
conductor shook the apparent body and
roared ''rIcKETs" at him again, with no
success. Then, lifting up the SOM
brero, be saw the block of wood,
and the spectators burst into roar
while the orestfallen Conductor had
business Of urgent Importance in the
next car The echoes of the laughter in
that car almost shook the ella and the
blocks of wood out of their beds. The
charming widow is now in Los Angeles,
but the hsrrifed Conductor does not
dare to come nearer than Yuma 2f9

Flynn some vile names when fight or-
sued between them, which was stopped
by Mr. Cyrus True, the keeper of the
payroll The insult was repeated soon
after, and arother fight began, in which
Gomez got worsted, when he struck
Flynn blow in the groin and abdomen
with large ugly knife, cutting several
large veins and causing fearful hem
orrhage. Col. Gray, the Superintendent,
had the wounded man taken to the
drugstore of Morgan Htanna, and Or.
Wise summoned to dress tho wound.
Afterwards the Colonel had Flynn
taken to his home. near the French
Hospital, where he lies in critical con
dition. The wife of Mr.. Flynn is sick,
in bed, which adds TO the horribleness
of the affair. Here is chance for the
rich and charitable to attend to the fam.
lily of Mr.. Flynn and provide them
with the necessary aid and comfort.
After the affray Gomez started for So
noratown, where he was arrested by off.
ceer Botello, and lodged in Jail. When
arrested he still had the bloody knife in
his hand. 1t seems that Gomez had
been quarrelsome all day, and prepared
the knife for a fight.

The Iiederkr anz.

The Los Angeles Liaderkranz Society
gave its FIRST public concert, during an
existence Of about nine months, at Turn
Verein Hall, on Sunday evening, which
was grand success, both Ausically and
financially.
The orchestra was one Of the finest
which ever rendered ella steal music in
this city, and played Wagner's Fantasie,
arranged by Prof. P. Engels, as an over.
tare.
The members of the Liederkranz
Society next sang tho singers March, y
by Otto, the music of which represents
cymbals, drums and other instruments
1t is unnecessary to say that the singers
were encorsd.
A EITHER duet followed; players, Messrs
f. Lauterbach and F. Guenther. The
audience listened with rapt attention to
this beautiful music, and called the
musicians out twice more. The quar-
tette by Kucken, sung by Professor
Pfanu. Prof. Engels and Messrs. Kirch.
ner and Lindenfeld, was one of the gems
of the evening, and was loudly applaud
ed. The beautiful overture to the
Dichter an Bauer, by Won suppe, which
is SO popular, was played exquisitely by
the well-traned orchestra.
Prof. Pfann followed with beautiful
selection from Der Freischutz, which was
rendered in the finest style of this tai
entei singer. Mr.. S. Kuase played a
cornet solo, written by the celebrated
cornetist Levy, IN his best manner. He
is thorough master of the instrument.
The close OF the second act was chorus
with tenor solo, "The Heart of the
Rhine, written by Prof. Engels, direc-
tor OF tho society. Its rendition was
perfect, and the chorus grand musical
effect, which caused an imperative de-
mand for an encore, which was given.
A waltz, by Johann Strauss, with
either s3lo, by Guenther, commenced the
third part, nnl was so exquisitely ren.
dered that a pin could have been heard
to drop, SO perfect was the silence. 1t
was also encored The beautiful duet
from Flotow's Martha" lost, Pro-
ssribed,' was beautifully rendered by
Prof. Pfann and Th. Friese, aud two
verses were repeated on account of the
demands Of the audience The excel
lent orchestra next played the overture
to Tampa, one of the most classic of
compositions, with remarkable excel
lence.
The tableaa and chorus, with baritone
solo, "0n Guard" closed the musical
programme. 1t was one Of the most
dramatic scenes ever witnessed at this
hall. Soldiers in full uniform were
lying around camp fire, and singing iu
subdued voice, " hile the sentinel, Th.
Friese. sang the solo with fine effect.
This was probably the gem of the entire
programme.
A dance, with fourteen numbers, fol-
lowed, and, with excellent music, con.
iinued until late hour. Mr.. A. Lin
denfeld was floor manager. and Messrs,
Bruning and Friese were aides. We
learn that this talented society will net
over 5000 by the entertainment, not
withstanding the numerous expenses.
They are to be congratulated on their
success.

Petrolia Items.

Messrs. Chandler, Bower and Hotch.
kiss arrived from Petrolia yesterday.
Mr.. Hotchkiss came here few months
ago. apparently far gone with consump-
tion, but residence of some weeks in
the high, dry air at Petrolia, and the
inhaling Of the balsam-laden air of the
oil wells, seem to have wrought an en-
tire change in his health and arrested
his disease. He is increasing in flesh
and looks robust again. While Mr..
Hotchkiss was relating his experience, a
six-horse team passed by to the plaza
with seventeen barrels of heavy oil for
the City Water Company, for dipping
water pipe. This oil Mr.. Chandler has
taken from the two shallow wells at
Pnsnte, or Upper Petrolia. This oil is
in great demand for dipping iron pipe,
for fuel, and for fabrication of car
wheels.
Superintendent Hewitt has tested the
oil on one of the Santa Ana trains, while
the other train used eastern oil. The
result showed that the home petroleum
was 80 per cent cheaper than the east.
ern in doing the same amount Of work.
New casing has been ordered for the
Chandler & Bower well, to protect it
from caving below the present casing.
When that is ready the drill goes down
again. The we'll has considerable oil in
it, but the owners are determined to go
deeper and get larger supply of this
valuable fluid
The engine is now on the ground for
deepening the third Puente well,
in the hope Of getting larger
yield. So valuable is this oil for the
purposes named that contract could be
made for 10000 barrels of it in day
among the railways and factories of Los
Angeles. In a few years such sales will
be an ordinary occurrence. The new
patent obtained by Fred s. Eaton, of
this city, for winding iron pipe or rods
with loosely woven canvas before dip
ping in hot asphaltum and petroleum
works to charm. While it coats the
iron with an impervious, indestructible
jacket, it makes larger demand for
petroleum by absorbing and holding
about three times as much oil az the old
plan of dipping the bare iron into the
oil. Some times the coating on plain
iron would peel off, but the new Eaton
coating sticks eternally. The world
moves.

long visit to the Murto stock rancho.

The Wine Market.

1t will be remembered that statements
were made last Summer that the pro.
duction of wine would be overdone in
very short time, that the stock of native
wine was enormous and the market
dull. The HERALD at the time showed
that the wines of Los Angeles were in
good demand at satisfactory prices as
soon as they were mature. with no old
wine in manufacturers hands. OF the
new vintage the San Francisco Merchant
says: Zone of our jobbing houses has
already bought over 100000 gallons of
wine at prices indicating an advance over
last years rates for wine of the same de-
scription. The entire vintage of Mr..
Lawrent, Of st. Helena, has again been
sold to Lenormand Bros. on terms
strictly private. We also notice con.
siderable wine, presumably new, COM
ing from Sonoma by steamer"

Measuring Tanks.

The United States Government has
published circular regarding the mea-
surement of tanks, which may be of in
terest to our wine and brandy makers.
Following is the computations
To compute contents in gallons of
round tanks; Square diameter in feet,
multiply by 0.7S55, and again by the
depth in feet. and multiply by 7.4S, this
latter being the number of gallons in
one cubic foot. For tanks of square or
rectangular outline, multiply together
the length in feet of both sides and null
tiply result by depth Of tank in feet and
again, as above, by 74S.

Twenry-Four O'CLOCK.

The Detroit Eeening Journal has
adopted the italian and Venetian system
of having the record of time go on from
the hour of midnight to midnight again,
changing the face of the clock from
to "a, or from clock time to siderial
time. By this most excellent system
there is no morning or afternoon or
evening. Ii church service is adver-
tised to take place at 1890 o'clock,
everybody will know il means in the
evening, because it cannot come at any
other time in the day than in the even
ing. So ii u meeting is called for 0
o'clock it must occur in the morning,
because there is but one 0 O'Clock in the
whole day Of twenty-four hours. Now
we have the name of every hour
doubled, and no one knows whether any
advertised time is in the fore or latt, r
part of the day, unless A. NJ. or p. NJ. is
placed after the figures. The new
system will ssve much time and trouble,
but will necessitate changing the figures
on the faces Of clocks. The new move
meat will insure uniformity in the reck-
oning of time, and simplify business
materially in astronomical matters and
in the making Of almanacs. The system
will by-and.by be adopted all round the
world.

SPEEDY JUSTICE.
A Burglar Arrested and Sentenoed
to States Prison Within Six
Hours

About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
as Policemen Carpenter and Berry were
passing along in front of Downey Block
their attention was attracted by noise
proceeding from the Capitol store They
stopped and presently there emerged
from the transom over one of the doors
tho form of man. As he dropped to
the sidewalk he was received into their
arms and quietly but firmly marched of
to the Police Headquarters. Here he
was searched and two gold watches and
chains, some valuable diamonds and
several pieces of expensive silks were
found concealed shout his person; in all
amounting 10 about $1,000 He was then
locked up, and at 0 o'clock he was
taken before City Justice Morgan, where
he plead guilty to the charge of bur-
glary. An Information was at once fled
by District Attorney White before Judge
Sepnlveda, of the Superior Court, charg-
ing Jones with burglary in the frat de-
gree lie was arraigned, again plead
guilty, and, having waived his statu-

The dry weather in counties farther
east has in the past few months driven
many eattlemeu into the distant west
and Presidio county seems 70 have
caught the bulk of them. This Is a
good county, but its water supply Is
limited and the grasses, which are
principally gramma, are not as endur-
ing as the mesquite varieties that nave
made the ranges 80 excellent IN the
counties east of the Nueces and along
that stream. The soil IL shallow ana
the grasses are easier tramped out than
j. the case in the more eastern section
of the state. IL is estimated that there
have recently been shipped by rail to
the Presidio section about 1000 head
of cattle, and from 5000 to 10 0o0 more
are TO lie shipped. Before these ship.
inents began; IL Is estimated that there
were from 5000 To 10000 cattle in that
country. Preside county has an inn
iuense area, but the greater portion OF
the country is very rough aud rocky,
aud Is therefore unfit Tor almost any
other purpose than stock raising.
Those who have their eyes on these far
western counties should not forget
these facts. There is great danger of
that country being oversiockcd, and of
cattlemcn being subjected TO greater
hardsllips and losses In that region
than any have ever experienced ia the
past In the counties lying from the
Nueccs eastward to the coast. Our cat
