As the Altman stage was coming down
from Santa Barbara, Saturday night. it
came very near being taken in by the
s'sad sea waves" While driver s. L..
Briggs was bowling along on the beach
this side of the Rncon, huge breaker
rolled in and engulfed his entire estab-
lishment, and the tide being higl. he was
unable to extricate himself. The horses
reared and plunged, and broke neck
yoke in their struggles. Fortunately a
Californian happened to be passing at
the time, horseback, and rendered Briggs
timely service. The mail bags were uu-
loaded and the horses and stage brought
out safely, and with the exception of
the neck yoke, no damage was done.-

The Los Angeles Gas Company has
contracted with the Jenny Electric
Light Company, of Fort Wayne, Indi-
ana, for the necessary plant for making
an electric light. The machinery will
arrive here about the first Of August.
The company will probably attach the
same plant to their works in Oakland
and Stockton. This company has a
large amount Of material always on
hand that is not specially valuable for
making gas but can be used for fuel in
making electrical energy. So that spe-
cies of light appears to be marching ON
continually.

The Cinnamon having occupied the
land on each side of the M. +. Church
on First street, now express desire to
buy the church building and make it
Joss House. What are the land owners
on First street thinking about in letting
the Mongolians settle on that fine and
popular thoroughfare? They depreciate
the value of property wherever they
s.ttle. Even fool or wayfaring man
can see that fuct. Is laud so valuable
on that street that the owners want to
reduce its value!
