More Jail Delivery.

San Bernardino appears to have had
another Jail delivery. On Saturday the
door Of the jail was left open about noon,
for humanitarian reasons probably, and
three Of the prisoners, Martin, Denny,
and Long John, took walk for their
health. Long John wandered away so
far that he forgot where the Jail stood
and 30 failed to return. A friend is
anxiously looking for John, to persuade
him to return for his meals, for fear the
poor fellow, who had robust appetite,
might get hungry. A Chinaman and an
Indian refused to 90 out Of the jail TO
freedom ON account Of the hest OF the
weather. Martin andlDenny had pistols
and amused themselves by shooting at
the Sheriff several times. They were
persuaded to return to the gentle shades
Of the jail. after long walk. These
two fellows were pnt in jail for attempt
ing to murder Oliver Simpson at Dag
gett. They will postpone their next
walkout till the weather is cooler.

Fire at Mojave.

About one O'Clock yesterday morning
fire broke out in Chinese laundry in
Mojave. The laundry was in the north
ern portion of the village aud as the
wind was blowing from the north 1t was
but short time until the whole business
part Of town was enveloped in flames.
The houses were all frame structures
and were devoured like tinder. So
rapidly did the fire spread that the
Mojave House was in flames before the
guests were fully awakened. All Of
them escaped however. excepting the
barkeeper, Thomas Derning, who lost
his life, being burnt to q crisp, and Mrs.
Brown. q blind woman, who was severe.
ly burned about the legs and body. H.
Ii. Buckles, saloon keeper, also had
his face and neck badly burned. Mrs.
Brown was brought to this city yester-
day and placed in the Sisters Hospi tai.
General e. Il. Hewitt, Of the Southern
Pacific road was guest OF the Railroad
House and barely escaped In
very scant raiment. After leaving
the burning building he returned
for some Of his effects, but the flames
were so fierce that he failed to reach his
room. In the morning he found the re-
mains of his watch in the ashes. All OF
the town was destroyed excepting the
railroad buildings and . few residences
on the outskirts of town. At this time
it is impossible to estimate the losses or
the amount of insurance.
Mojave was an eating station, and
hereafter the passengers on the north
bound train will take supper at Lancas-
ter at 4:l5 P. NJ. and the south bound
passengers will take breakfast at I shach-
cpl at 7:l0 A. NJ. In the meantime il
would be advisable for everybody to put
in a hearty meal at the depot in this city
where all Of the trains take dinner.

Return OF Col. J. ). Warner.

Col. J. ]. Warner, better known a.
Don Juan, returned by the northern
route on Sunday, accompanied by his
granddaughter, Miss Artemisa Cruz,
from an extended trip to the East, visit
ing his old home in Connect cticut, also New
York, Boston, Hartford, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, Washington, Cincinnati, st.
Louis, and other points Of interest. The
Colonel had not paid visit to his birth
place for forty-four years, and everything
was new, although the old relatives and
friends greeted him warmly. Col. War
ner looks younger than when he left,
and has 9 healthy appearance, caused by
q pleasant trip lasting three months and
q week. Although Don Juan had been
expected for some time, his actual arri.
val was surprise to his legion Of friends,
who congratulated him on his safe return
and renewed health, as fast as they met
him. 1t is rumored that an ovation will
be rendered to the returned wanderer by
some Of his old friends within few
days.

day last at the grounds ON the corner Of
Sixth and Flower streets, when the first
nine of the Los Angeles Base Ball Club
played the picked nine Of the Printers
Club for a purse Of 500. A large
crowd was present and the contest was
watched with the utmost interest. Fol-
lowing are the names Of the players and
their positions, First nine, Los Angeles

and took the outside in the first inning.
The game WINS close and only lasted one
hour and thirty-five minutes, ending in
score Of eight for the Los Angeles

There were i've ''goose-eggs" made
by the winning club, and five by
the Printers club. There were grea
many fine plays made ON both sides.
which caused the applause Of the spec
tators. The game was so close rs to al
most look professional. One good play
was when man was on first base. in the
sixth inning, and the batter, with . ball
to center, forced bin to second base,
where he was put out, a. was the batter
on first base. In the ninth inning, after
two men were out, and one run had
been made, one of the best players got
to third base. By accident, the batter
at the time, tipped foul ball right into
the catcher's hands, making the side
and game out. At the close, the money
put up, changed hands, and there was
much cheering on both sides, and by the
spectators, at the closeness Of the con-
test. Following is the score by innings:
