Needless Alarm.

There has been great deal of alarm
about the outrages committed on Ameri'
cans travelling in Mexico. In contradic-
ton to this statement the following in
terview from the Santa Barbara hide
pendent, puts a quietus on the canards
that are atloat;
Thomas Nickerson, President of the
Mexican Central, aud b. p. Cheney, A.
W. Nickerson and l. 7. Burr, Directors
in both the Mexican Central and Santa
Fe systems, are at the Grand Pacific Ho-
tel, ON their way to the annual meeting
OF the Santa Fe at Topeka. MIR. Che
ney was asked last evening relative to
the truth of the reports that Mexican in
surgents were interfering with the ope-
ratlons of the road. He replied that
the reports were entirely without foun-
dation, and had been started either for
the purpose of manipulating the stock
market or by enemies of the road
Earnest efforts had been made to trace
them to their source, and with success,
the origin having been discovered to be
the office of Chicago newspaper. They
had ascertaincd that the aforesaid
paper ian unreliable morning sheet) had
published dispatches which had evil
dently been written in the office, giving
sensational accounts of uprisings which
had no foundation in fact. "As evil
dence that we fear no trouble or danger
in Mexico, sad he, sit is only neces-
sary to say that large party Of ladies
and gentlemen is being formed i'll Bos-
ton, who will start in few days to be
present at the formal opening OF the
road. May 10
''Wll there be any changes made in
the Santa Fe management at the annual
meedng?'
The only one of importance will be
in the Presidents office. Mr.. Strong
has been uuhtted by illness for the per-
formance, since his election, of his du-
ties as Presile lent, Mr.. Touz din, the
Vice President, having acted as Presi-
dent also. Mr.. Strong has now recov-
cred and will assume full charge Of his
office, Mr., Touzalin will continue in
position as Nice-President and General
Manager"

Stealing Money and a Wife.

The San Bernardino Times has the fol-
lowing cheerful information of a hard
Stone and a bad Party:
"John Stone, aged 80, departed yes
terday for parts unknown, in company
with Mrs. Nancy Party, aged II, after
having selected valuable team, worth
500, which he took from his father
without permission, and appropriated
$3.50 in coin from Dick Talbot. 1t
seems that the Party girl has a husband
at San Jacinto, whom she left on Thurs
day in fancied connubial security and
came to this town, where she had prob
ably made all the preliminary arrange
ments with Stone for the elopement. A
good team was of course necessary to
carry them away from pursuit, and this
was stolen from Stones father, and the
necessary money to meet current ex'
penses from Talbot. Warrants fol
their arrest are already out and the sur.
rounding country been placed on the
alert for the fleeing culprits, and it is
hardly probable that they will get fai
without being overhauled"

Shooting Editors.

The custom of shooting editors ha,
fallen into disrepute of late, and when il
was resumed yesterday at San Pedro
the public failed to appreciate its fitness
or popularity. Capt. James, the editor
of the Shipping Gazette, had taken occa'
sional liberties without permission of
one Fred. Bnrkle, of San Pedro, and
Fred. yesterday hit the Captain in the
snout. He then procured double barrel
ed shotgunand made life aburden toJane,
for the time being. He then marched on
in happiness and peace till Deputy Con
stable Diffenderffer arrested him and
brought him before Justice Ling, where
he gave bail in the sum of $1,000, with l.
Levin and l.. Jacoby as bondsmen
That is the end of the beginning.

The Los Angeles Opera House is rap
idly nearing completion. The date set
for its inauguration, viz, the Goth inst. .,
will undoubtedly bd adhered to. 1t is
pleasant to know that, under the
glamour of the legitimate drama, as ex-
cmplified in combination of exceptional
excellence, we shall launch this temple
of Thespis upon the waves of popular
favor. While Los Angeles today be-
longs to the minor cities of the United
States, it gives MS infinite pleasure to
know that we are now advancing in q
ratio of population, progress and wealth
which recalls the earliest episodes even
of San Francisco. The only difference
between the Orange Grove City and the
City of the Golden Gate, in their early
and tentative days, is that, with un.
rivaled local resources and unexampled
avenues OF railway communication, the
former city ought to distance out oi
sight the latter in all incidents OF
growth. That it will do so, for some
years to come, we do not doubt.

M ore Water improvements.

The Messrs Beaudry are now making
very important improvements ON their
reservoir on the hills by increasing its
capacity so that when the work, now
under way, is finished, it will be of the
capacity OF 5000, 900 gallons. They are
also rebuilGiag and enlarging the roof
so as to cover the entire reservoir, and
protect the water from the effects of the
sun. We congratulate the consumers of
the Beaudry Water Works on these
large Improvements conducive to their
benefit. We are also informed that the
Messrs Beaudry are now receiving sew
eral Thousand feet of east iron pipes,
with the view OF extending their mains
whenever necessary.

TnE Subscribers of the HERALD have
probably noticed the steadily improving
character OF its press work. Although
we had mortifying experience in buy
ing. conditionally, n double-cylinder
press which did not prove to be what it
was represented to us to be, this office
has to-day the finest press facilities OF
any establishment on the Pacific Coast
outside Of San Francisco. The improve
ments already apparent will be noticea-
bic straight along, though even in more
marked degree. Beginning with Tues
day, or, at the must, Wednesday next,
the specimens sent out from the type
foundries will not exceed, in beauty and
clearnoss OF press.w work, the copies of the
HERALD sent out from this office. As
we have two thorough steam power
presses we are comparatively indepen-
dent Of accident.

TaE existing and mdoniable popular
ity of james G. Blaine resembles, in n
remarkable degree, the popular prefer
ence for Henry Clay, which dates back
more than fifty years ago. Both OF
these men were magnetic, able and pop
ular. They We're both very iino speak
ers, were amiable and winning, though
Clay had the advantage of formulating
and championing an idca-thnt of pro-
tection-which has taken q remarkable
hold Of American politics. Another diff
ference between them is that Clay was n
number of ii mes the nominee of his par
" for President, while he always failed
of election. Should Blaine succeed in
enrolling himself in the category of can
didates for President his experience
would doubtless be quite as melancholy
as Clay other words, he would
eventuate in the role of an historical
failure.

A MAY DAY picnic.

Yesterday was a glorious opening of
the month and our pioneers, not to be
outdoDe by their eastern friends, had
genuine first of May picnic at Mud
Spring,. here, to the number Of about
fifty, they assembled. In the morning
the roads were alive with buggies and
wagons taking the yeomanry and the
youth and beauty Of Antelope Valley to
the famous springs, and by noon the
exercises commenced. The discussion
of an excellent picnic dinner sharpened
the appetite for other delights, into
which all entered with zest. The
traditional May pole was improvised by
the help OF long rail and to the music
OF French air on the guitar by Peter
Clos, the white and colored ribbons
were plated around the standard, while
the lively performers waltzed in cadence.
While it may not have been as stagery
as Maggie Mitchell's company in
Fanchop, yet there was Joy unconfned
that no theatrical performance could
equal. A dance of the conventional
American style on the green sward
followed and other amusements closed
the day towards sundown. About six
o'clock the jewellers returned home
after voting Mr.. and Mrs. Duhard, of
Mud Springs, capital hosts and Peter
Clos first class guitarist. Altogether it
was an enjoyable affair. and has done
much to bind society in the valley and
make the settlers better acquainted with
their neighbors.
