could nnder no circumstance consider the
fact Of the Minority benz absent as any
argument for postponing the end discus,
sion. The honourable Member Of the
Minority is in GOOD health and has had the
same chances of BEING present as other
Members. and ifhe ne ,ertheleSS is not here
to defend his position. that should cause no
postponement. AS for the question itself,
he had never looked upon The proposed
exemption as any real compensation for
doing the road. work, but simply as a mat,
ter of equity that after repairing the pub
lie roads those who had done it should he
at liberty to use the roads without further
tax. And as for the point of confirming the

hundred feet of roads repaired by the
individuals themselves, that might be done,

possible way how it could be done.

John Bobenreith, Philip Lauth and d
|select party Of four other gentlemen,
have just returned from months stay
down At the hot springs at San Juan
|Capistrano. John Is immensely pleased
with his experience and has found out J
few things. The two mort important
items Of his discoveries are: First,
that after eating for = number Of years
in all the first-class restaurants Of the
o nited States, he finds that there is no.
body like himself 10 concoct an "Uncle
John pancake, which is nothing more
nor less than gross tragedy upon POI
tatoes and eggs; and, secondly, he has
made pathological aud philosophical
about rattlesnakcs. He now|
declares that they are not baccilli, but
Friends Of mankind. There Is certainly
somsthiag strange about the hot water
'of San Juan, and it il that that ma kes the
people who handle the fiery juice not to-
mistrust the doodle serpent any morc,
but rather place him iu the category Of
the "dorg." Without the water Of San

TINE siLvAs TRIAL.
of the Murderer He wi
be sentenced Next Tuesday
Sketch of His Grimes.


The case OF Rodolfo Silvas, charged
with the murder Of ]. A. Mcintyre. was
before the Superior Court during the
greater part Of Friday and Saturday.
Frhe case was handled on the part of the
people by District Attorney White in
his usually forcibls and logical manner,
while the defense was conducted by
Messrs. Garfield and Cazon with great
sarnestness and vigor.
A few minutes before s P. NJ. the case
was given to the jury, after clear, able
land impartial charge from Judge Smith.
The excitement about this time in
and around the Court House was very
great. The courtroom was crowded
and knots Of persons ON the streets
were intently waiting to hear voice
from tho jury room.
They had not long to wait. In sew
enteen minutes from the time OF retir.
ing for deliberation the jury returned,
through their foreman, John Bryson,
the following verdict: 1--WE, the jury,
find the prisoner guilty of murder in the
FIRST DEGREE"
At this announcement there was ap.
plause in the audience, which was
stopped by the officers of the court.
The District Attorney then requested
the Court to fix day aud hour fol
passing sentence on the prisoner. Judge
Smith set the time for Tuesday next,
August s, 1884, at half-past P. NJ.
Mr.. Canfield, one Of the counsel fo,
the defense. announced that he woulc
make . motion for new trial.
The prisoner was then taken in
charge by the Sheriff aud his deputies
and taken back 70 the jail, from which
place he had come to hear the verdict Of
the jury. II is needless TO say that ttt
punishment for murder in tho first de.
gree" is hanging. The murder was 0
most brutal affair, and totally unprovok-
ed by Mcintyre. The verdict Of fhe
Jury will have good effect on the cut
throats of New High street. The mur,
der Of Mcintyre was committed on The
2lst Of July last, aud twelve days from
chat time the murderer was convicted.
The District Attorney has shown grea,
promptness in the management Of thil
case that is highly appreciated by ths
citizens Of Los A1geles. The accomplics
of Silvas, Higuera, will be tried next
week.
In order 10 show Siivas' previous ca
reer. and give the public an idea of the
kind Of man he Is, we have taken the
trouble to get his record from Jailor
Thompson. as it appears on the books
If the Jail:
On October l. 1881. Silvas was ar.
rested for assault
March IA, 1882, he was arrested for
the same offense, the arrest being made
by Officer Berry.
December 26, 1882, he was arrested
by Officer Berry for grand larceny.
April 81, 1888, he was arrested on a
charge of assault to kill, Officer Griffin
being the arresting officer.
Then on July 2l, 1884. he capped the
climax by the commission Of murder.
Thus it will be seen that he gradually
went from bad to worse. until at last
the gallows will get its due when he is
swung into eternity.
