Floods VS.. Matrimony.

The marriage of DIR. F. Dc Witt
Crank and Miss Jennie Blubury was to
have taken place last night at Pasadena
and the bridegroom and friends, with
Wangeman's Orchestra. in carria yes, fol.
lowed by HERALD reporter in buggy,
started out boldly about 5 o'clock. With
oat realizing the fearful rise in the
Arroyo Seco the party pushed on and
crossed the stream in four channels al
East Los Angeles. whore the water was
high and rising. At the next crossing,
new channel, the stream was fearful,
and the hack was wrecked and the band
wagon made desolate. BY swimming
the stream twice the horses were fished
out by the driver of the HERALD buggy,
and landed on an island, while darkness
and heavy shower closed around tho
scene. The reporter retraced his wa
terry way, arriving in town about hall
past 10 O'Clock = sadder and wettsr
man, leaving the bridegroom and
his party and the band on the island
with the water rising rapidly and thu
darkness visible in its density. How the
gallant bridegroom got to the mainland
and around to Pasadena by the hills Is
not known at this writing, but judging
by the time it took reporter to get
back, the marriage would not take place
until some time to-day. It is the earnest
hope Of the HERALD that all the troubles
Of the charming couple for the next cen
tury took place in the Arroyo Seco last
night, and that bright skies may hsrsaf.
ter shine over their pathway.

Railroad Items.

The rain recommended at 2:20 A. NJ.
yesterday, and has continued for twenty,
four hours in series of showers accom-
panied by very warm temperature. At
B:l5 last evening, LII inches Of rain had
fallen, and the snow melting rapidly in
the mountains caused the streams to
swell at rapid rate. The water in the
Soledad Canon again rose up and dam
aged tho track so that the trim
from San Francisco stopped at
Mojave, while the Sunset train
stopped in Los Angeles and made no at
tempt to got further north till 1t was
known that the track was clear, through
the Solsdad canon. After the Sunset
train passed San Gabriel yesterday, the
high water in the deep baranca west Of
the station again destroyed the track,
and the evening train from Cotton, due
here at o'clock, was obliged to stop at
San Gabriel.
The Santa Ana train came in on time
AZ also did the trains from San Pedro
and Santa Moaica. 1t is feared that the
Tujunga a,d the Pacoima creeks have
also destroyed the track in the San Fer
nando valley. aud that the San Gabriel
and Santa Ana rivers will again destroy
the railway bridges. There is also
likelihood that somc damage may be
done TO the lots on the banks of the
river and along the Arroyo Seco, as the
snow is melting rapidly.

An interesting Case.


Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Platt &
Berman, jewelers. Of this city were
arrested by Major Gard, charged with
felony preferred by Mr.. Gilvory, the
men in charge of the property in the
store. They were released on habeas
corpus by Judge Howard, under bonds
Of $500, and again re-arrested on q
charge of embezzlement, and taken be-
fore Justice Morgan, who held them in
81, 900 bonds each for examination.
A. p. Lawson, one Of Harry
Morse's detectives tells the story
which we are obliged to condense in q
few paragraphs. Gilvory suspected some
thing was crooked and sent for Lawson
to work up the case. Lawson came and
pretended to be greeny from Florence,
Arizona, who wanted to buy diamonds
for friend who was going to be married.
Being thrown of their guard, Platt 4
Berman met him at the Pico House with
large assortment of diamonds and fine
jewelry, taken from the store in charge
of Gilvory. A lady was brought 20 ex-
anime the diamonds. while stsnogra-
pher OH the outside took down tho
words of Mr.. B-rniaa. After all needful
evidence had been secured, both Platt
and Berman were arrested, charged with
having taken the diamonds from the
stock of Gil, ory.
The amount Of jewelry and diamonds
found upon the person of the two mon
is valued at $4,000. The case will be
called this morning before Justice Nor.
gan and time set for examination.
Platt 4 Berman claim that the jewelry
and diamonds were their own, and not a
part of the Gilvory stock at all. But as
they failed and assigned last winter and
were sold out. il is not easy to see how
they could make $4,000 since that time.
Further details will follow.

A psrtlnens query.

EDITOR HERALD. Permit me to inquire,
through the columns Of the HERALD,
whether man who opens private de.
tective office in this town is authorized
to make arrests for crimes coming under
the denomination of misdemsanors!
And, when such self.constituted pri-
vate detective, with no more authority
than that which he derives from a paint
ed shingle, window with his profession
marked thereon, and o badge le.tered
Detective l, proclaims himself an officer
of the law, is he not guilty of personal.
ing such one and amenable to arrest
and punishment! +. o.

The American Orchestra Explain.


EDrroR HERALD-In your issue of this
morning, there appeared an article COM
menting on the failure of the American
Orchestra" to keep an engagement at the
entertainment given by Miss Rosa STAN
mus, at Turnverein Hall, ON Tuesday
evening, and we fully appreciate tho
fact that m explanation is due the pub.
lic and also those who had volunteered
to appear in connection with Miss Stan
nus. The fault lies entirely with Mr..
Harley Hamilton, who has heretofore
been leader and director of our orchestra,
a. he absented himself from the city af-
ter making all arrangements for us to
play at said entertainment; and mot
only that, but he locked up the music
necessary for the occasion, thereby most
sfFectually ''blocking our wheels" We,
a. an organisation, desire that the pub
should know where the fault lies, and
place their censure where it rightfully
belongs. Az Hamilton is about to leave
this city to join circus band, he thinks
to thus escape his meritsd portion of the
csnsure. Very respectfully yours,
'sThe American Orchestra"
