That Spring Has Failed.

The idea advanced in the HERALD
that the water that came into the base
ment of the Larronde building came
from defective sewers or cesspools in the
block, seems to be confirmed. Mr.. Laz-
zarevich, the agent for the building,
cemsnted the bottom Of the cellar with
hydraulic lime, leaving a place near the
middle for the water to come up. il there
were any springs beneath. He then
cemented the side walls. An examina-
tion Of the building after month had
passed, showed the cement floor to be
dry and no water in the center hole,
where it would have come II there lad
been. any spring beneath the building.
The side walls were dry to height Of
about four feet, when moiaturs pervaded
the north and west walls, showing that
the water that dampened them was from
the upper soil from four to six fest above
the bottom of the cellar. This water
cannot get down around the concrete
walls to come mp through the orifice in
the bottom. and 50 remaipe in the soil
around aud beneath the buildings Of
that block, where Il perpetually sends
OF its unseen but poisonous vspors. II
Is time to examine into tnis matter and
see what draius or pipes or cesspools do
the mischief. The theory Of the spring
in the earth is exploded now effsotually.
Now will the Health Officer ascertain
whore the danger l., That spring Z

Investments in choice Southern Califor-
MIA lands, that I shall be in this city

This company controls $1,000 acres Of
the choicest vine, fruit. olive, alfalfa,
grain and grazing lands in Southern Cal
ifornia. A portion Of these lands are sur
veyed and plated, laid out with fine
avenues into l60 acre blocks, with lots
from five to ten acres in ex cot. These
will be sold in pieces to SUIT ut reasona-
BILE prices. Three other large portions
will be sold separately, or together, at
prices that will tempt any company Of

Larceny at Newhall.

Deputy Sheriff Joe Leighton, Of New
hall, came down yesterday to put in jail
one Charles Hassley on charge Of rob-
berry. 1t appears that the fellow arrived
at the hotel at that place and engaged
lodgings. and was given bed in room
occupied by another man. Hassley pro-
ceeded to make himself useful to him
self, and took for his own use from the
trunk Of his roommate twenty-dollar
piece, razor, knife and handkerchief.
When the theft was discovered Joe gave
chase, and, after a two h,nrs' run
through the brush, secured the culprit,
who was committed for larceny. The
money and knife had been hidden some
where by the thief, but the rest Of the
property was recovered. The fellow is
not an intellectual booking creature, but
Joe affirms that he has more things run
ming through his head than there are
grasshoppers in Kansas.

10 the Editor Of the Herald.

To The Editor Of The Herald!
DEAR SIR-In . communication in
your issue yesterday there are one or
two matters to which am compelled to
call attention. l am in the fullest sym
pathy with the work proposed by Prof.
Widd, and wish it every success, but did
not and could not "promise the eift Of a
most desirable and valuable site for the
building in the city Of Los Apgsles."
The land in question is controlled by the
vestry. None less than majority OF
that body could make such promise.
What l did promise have done--inen-
toned the matter to number of that
body.
Nor can /, in any way. take control
or make myself re ponsible for the en-
terprise. my present duties being all l
can possibly attend to.
Your resi- ectfully,
ELIAS BIRDsALL.

oreco roman wrestling.

The first Of series of Grnco Roman
sports took place last night at Turnve-
rein Hall before large audience. The
exercises were prefaced by friendly
sparring set-to with gloves between Tom
Manning and Henry Smith. Of San Fran.
cisco. They gave two exhibitions of
their skill, and showed themselves very
expert and very evenly matched in
strength and skill. After the compile
iion of these two rounds, Andy Klafki
and John Bangs gave three rounds that
created much applause. These boxers
are beginners, and made up in spirit
what they lacked in training. The boys
did well and greatly pleased their friends
and neighbors. They were followed by
James King and A. p. Beck, Of Los An
geles, with two very spirited rounds,
that were slashing and lively aud created
great laughter among the audience.
The great event Of the evening then
took place in the wrestling match be-
tween Dick Carroll, Of Butte county,
CAL. and j. Holsinger, Of Calico, San
Bernardiuo county.
The contestants came on the stage at
half-past o'clock. and were introduced
by H. Leavitt, proprietor of the Police
Gazette Shades, who read the rules of
the ring from the National Police Ga
zette. A. Rinkabach was chosen referee,
and the contestants came to the front,
Carroll in blue and Holsinger in yell
low
After short but powerful struggle Of
three minutes partial fall, or "scram-
ble," was made by Carroll, the contest
ants retiring to their corners.
The second contest continued for
eight minutes, resulting in scramble"
by Holsingor
The excitement Eow became very
great, both contestants being even aud
betting evenly divided.
After the five minutes rest allowed to
a scramble, the chieftains again came
forth, and after severe struggle divid-
ed scramble" took place.
The fourth trial also resulted in a
''scramble."
When time was called by Manager
Leavitt for the fifth time both parties
came up looking weary but determined.
This struggle was long and severe. when
with desperate effort Holsinger threw
Carroll on his back and was ieclared the
victor.
The prize was 500 a side aud gate
money, which was well earned. as the
contest was long and severe. Both the
contestants are very athletic and were
well matched, and displayed the utmost
courtesy and good nature throughout the
long and powerful struggle, which was
terminated in forty MINUTES from the
time Of commencement, ard was man
aged according to the strict rules of the
p. r. Carroll and Holsinser have no
reason to be disappointed with this ex-
hibition Of their strength aud wrestling
powers. Both weighed about $50
poupds and showed remarkable muscular
power, that was cheered by the audi
ence at every display Of Especial brilliancy.
The spectators were well pleased with
this exhibition of this ancient sport, and
expressed desire to see it repeated at a
future day.
There will be other prize matches made
tonight and challenges sent out at the
Police Gazette Shades.

The Provoking Traveller.
lWall street News.l


On Southern railroad the other day
passenger complained to the conductor
about the dusty state Of the seats and
windows, and directly followed 1t up by
finding fault with the roughness OF the
track and the apparently unsafe condi-
tion of the car. The conductor was very
courteous, but entirely non -committal.
This provoked the traveller TO continue
his complaints, and he presently said:
II fail to see any water cooler in this
car" mo; we have nome" "And the
front door won't shut" mo" "And
