The Now Cattle Disease.

Mr.. Geo. Kinds. of Wilmington. was
in the city yesterday. and in answer to
questions about the unknown disease
that has prevailed Of late among some
bends Of cattle. states that the malady is
not "blacklsg" as some have supposed,
as he is well acquainted with that disease
which only prevails In the mountains.
Mr.. Kinds has found that when this
new disease first attacks an animal it
may be saved by oopious bleeding,
promptly performed. This may be done
beneath the eye or in the veins Of the
tail. He further states that the public
need have no fear about having any dis
eased meat from animals afflicted with
this disease, from the fact that as soon
- the animal b attacked 1t 10 unable to
be driven or taken to q slaughter yard.
Mr.. Kinds, from his constant and long
experience in the cattle trade is oonsid-
cred frst-class authority, and IL is with
pleasure that the HRRALp is able to give
the result Of his valuable experience in
this dangerous disease. He has saved
the lives Of several animals by prompt
blood letting. and desires this fact TO Be
made known. Several names have been
suggested for this dangerous malAdy,
but there Is yet no agreement on a name
that u acceptable to those best posted
in diseAses OF cattle.

Mlldew in Vineyards.

From Mr.. A. Brigden, one of the
prominent vineyardists on the high
mesa at the base Of the mountains north
Of San Gabriel Mission, we learn that
the miIdew has attacked his grapes, and
also those Of Hon. J. F. Crank, Messrs.
VIM. Allen, J. Craig, ]. De Barth Shorb,
Governor Stoneman. Mrs. Wilson, 4. L.
Mayberry, L. ]. Rose, E. ]. Baldwin
and others. Splphuring has been COM
menced and appears TO be quite benefi-
DIAL, but the effect Of the mildew will
be to reduce the yield quite materially.
All varieties of grapes appear to be
affected about alike by this innocent
looking fungi, which does its deadly
work in silence most profound, but none
the less disastrousIy. Mildew fungi 10
seldom found in Los Angeles county, and
Ia the result of the unusual rainfall of
the past winter and spring, coupled with
warm fogs that now and then roll over
tho plain from the sea and rest aga inst
the mountains until the sun compels its
dispersion in the early morning. Such
trouble may not arise again in
century. but all vineyardists should be
prepared to meet it whenever it may
appear. Our great State is rich in sui
phur mines, so that the commonwealth
furnishes the antidcte to cure the dis
ease. and II is only the part Of wisdom
to apply 1t when needed.

From an Unfortunate License Payer.
Los ANuELks, Aug. 9. 1884

Los ANGELES, Aug. 8. 1884.
EDITOR HERALD:--Will you kindly
permit me to trespass On your valuable
space TO the extent Of asking the District
Attorney and late License Collector few
questions snent the repeal of the license
ordinance.
win the late License Collector or the
District Attorney explain to the license
payers Of this county how it is that some
have been compelled to ray this license
while others have no,y And why there
was SO much delay between the time Of
the rendering of the judgment Of the
Supreme Court and the repeal Of the
ordinancei And whether the License
Tax Collector and the District Attorney
were not aware, after the judgment Of
the Supreme Court in the license cases,
that the ordinance would be repealed;
and If so, why did the License Collector
proceed to collect? Did the License
Collector consult the District Attorney
or the Board of Supervisors; and il SO,
what was the answer!
And lastly, Mr.. Editor, is it not fact
that member OF the Board Of Super
visors advised certain of our business
men not to pay the license II "never
mind, we are going to rcscind it. 1t is
generally admitted that gross injustice
has been done, and I for one would like
to know who is to blame.

A saacs or SUICIDES.
Death OF francisco Ocano and John
Richardson.


Yesterday morning word was received
by the Coroner that Francisco Oca1o, q
member Of Frank Bartlett Post, G.. A. R.,
had committed suicide at his residence,
on tho east side of the river, by shoot.
ing himself in the forehead with pistol.
The body was removed to the under
taking rooms OF Messrs. Ponet l. Orr,
and an inquest held. which resulted in
verdict Of death by his own hands, with
suicidal intent while in state of tempo
rary alteration of mind, caused by legal
prosecutions set on foot against him in
regard to the fading Of pocket-bosk
containing so, while at work in the
warehouse Of Weyse Brothers, and for
which he had afterwards settled with
Mr.. D. G. Weyse. 1t seems there was q
constable's fee still unsettled, which dis.
turbed and unbalanced the mind Of the
deceased, and in moment OF temporary
alteration be shot himself to death by
pistol ball in the forehead, which cre-
ated ghastly wound and instant death.
The testimony before the Coroner's jury
was quite voluminous, but owing to the
crowded state of the columns Of the
HERALD it cannot be published to-day.
His remains will be buried this after
noon at o'clock by the members of
Frank Bartlett Post No. Q. to which he
belonged.
The second case was that Of
john Richardson. OF the Sierra
Madre tract, whose death was
reported last evening about 7 O'Clock
when telephone message was re.
ceived by Messrs. Ponet 4 Orr, from
Sierra Madre Villa, stating that Mr..
John Richardson, who lived at the foot of
the Wilson trail, at the base of the Sierra
Madre, about twenty miles from this
city, had committed suicide. Coroner
Nadeau was promptly notified and
started for the scene of the tragedy,
but at this writing, midnight, has not yet
returned with full information Of the
sad event. Mr.. Richardson was native
of Vermont, and about IA years Of age.
His sudden taking off is great surprise
to his old friends.

TO TINE LADlEs.
A grand Stock of Dress Goods and
Trimmings to be Seen.

Los Angeles can well boast of the fair
eat and most iasbionably dressed ladies
that can be seen in any city in the Uni
ted States. 1t is the husbands pride
and the fathers delight to see those who
are nearest and dearest to their hearts
appear in public in fine clothes, and at
the same time becoming to their figure.
One of the most fashionable dressmakers
that ever tried to please whole CON-
munity is that Of Madame Ferrie. Del
pech, at No. l2l North Spring street.
This lady has just returned from
San Francisco, where she has spent
three weeks in looking over that city in
order to return with the best and he
most fashionable goods that could be
found. Her efforts have been rewarded,
and ON Monday next the ladies of Los
Angeles and vicinity are invited to at
tend q grand opening at her place Of
business. which at the present is under
going a thorough overhauling by car
penters, painters, ETC., who have con-
tracted with Madame Ferrie- Delpech to
transform her place of business into one
Of thegrandest parlors Of fashion that
can be found ON the Pacific Coast. The
goods that will be exhibited on Monday
will embrace some of the richest dress
goods and trimmings that can be pro-
cured for money. The cheapest trimm-
ings are $40 per yard, and range as high
as $50. Thereis Is no doubt that the open
ing will be attended by host. of
ladies. who are already too familiar with
this lady's famo as the only first. class
dressmaker in the city, without the So
licltation of the press. aug9 2t

Cutting In san Pedro,

Last Wednesday morning, about 4
O'Clock, in San Pedro, in the Germania
saloon. a woman of easy virtue named
Tolo Silvas was sitting with male COM
panion, when sailor named Scott Black
brushed against her. when she jumped
up and made for Black with . big
butcher knife, laying the muscle Of his
arm open to the bone. He then went
to his room and armed himself and came
back, when some words passed between
the parties, and the woman succeeded
in making two more gashes in the mans
arm, this time just above the wrist.
This 90 maddened Black that he imme-
distely went TO work on the woman, and
cut and sIashed her so badly that she
may never recover. aud is at present
pretty low. This. we are informed, Is .
common thing Of late in San Pedro. and
strange no complaints are ever made
against the parties; but on the other
hand, crime Is kept very quiet, so that
the ofiicials very rarely hear Of it.

The Ice Business.

In 1878 San Francisco was a great and
busy metropolis, that consumed twelve
tons of ice per day in the summer season.
Los Angeles is pleasant, cheerful little
place, the most admirably surrounded
for business Of any city on the coast, and
is now consuming more than twenty tons
OF ice per day. The people in and around
Los Angeles spend as much money for
the luxury Of ice as all tho people Of San
Francisco. The article is con sidered a
luxury and our citizens are able to pay
for it.
The ice trade has become so large that
a new company has been organized, call.
ed the CONSUMERS Ice Company, for
the purpose Of manufacturing ice and the
business Of cold storage. The directors
are George and w. b. Chaffey, C. H.
Rowland, w. Ii. Smith, of Smith &
Wesson, the millionaire gun and pistol
makers, and Mr.. L. r. Scott. The larg.
est ice consumers in the city will be
stockholders, and two ten ton machines
have been ordered to furnish twenty tons
of ice from distilled water per day. The
ice business Of Los Angeles is looking up
and looking large. More anon.

Los ANGELES. Aue. 9th. lss

Los ANGELES. Ang. 9th. 1884.
EpIroR Los ANGELES HERALD:-As
you will doubtless have an account Of
the suicide Of one 0cafo in your to-
morrow's issue, permit me to supplement
it with my testimony in the case. which
the jury did not see fit TO obtain at the
inquest, but which am now compelled
to lay before the public In my own vim
dication. The testimony, or rather the
"theory," of the witness Tomas Botello
tends to convey the idea that the man
was driven to his act through my perse-
cutions. Nothing is more erroneous or
utterly impossible. as he had already
paid, through his work, for the larger
part of the money he had wrongfully
appropriated aud had been made pres
ent Of the remainder. Fear of punish
ishment for his theft was therefore out
Of the question, and the verdict Of the
Jury that such was the cause Of his mem
tai alteration is decidedly wrong and /
herewith take occasion to protest against
it.
The whole testimony OF the witness
Botello, who knew nothing about the
case. is incorrect and incomplete. The
man was not in my employ, but worked
for the contractor Of the building ia
question. He stole no money Of mine,
but that Of one Of my workers, whom /
tried to protect by lodging complaint
against 0cafo, who at first denied his
guilt; but when confronted by witnesses,
confessed having taken and spent the
money for drink. He volunteered to
pay il back in work. This offer was
accepted and on the same day, Monday
last, I asked Judge Morgan, through his
constable, not to have the man arrested.
After he had worked five days Tomas
Botello. in order TO collect $3.50 fees,
makes . pretended arrest, but releases
the man before bringing him into court;
which, by the way, constable has no
business to do. l knew nothing of this
alleged arrest; in fact, thought my man
safe through my own order.
When informed Of his micide the
thought did not even occur 10 me that
1t could in any way be connected with
his trouble. The man has always been
eccentric. very high tempered and greatly
addicted to drink.
In laying these facts before the pub
lie, who have read to-day's Eeenhig Er-
press, you will greatly oblige
Yours respectfully,
o. q. WEYsE.

coaxed it into another gopher hole with

with deeper disgust and said l concur in
your opinion. 1t filled that up, and out
it came in search of more worlds to con.
