pecting a large assortment of boots and
shoes from Chicago. Try some Of his ci-

Call at d. f. Meagher's for dry goods.
Pat. Slattery was hurt rather severely by
"A runaway team last Saturday.
If you want any blacksmithing done call
on II. Davis, who has rented the shop
formerly occupied by ID. Fisher.
The latest annoyance on the streets of
Kinsman is would be orator, who takes
his stand on a dry goods box and declares
his sentiments to the public.
LONG MAY CLEVELAND RULE. A big
demonstration took place in Kinsman on
Saturday evening" Nov. 9Th, over Cleve-
lands election. Fifty guns were fired which
woke up even the the unhappy republicans
of Verona, and brought large number of
them to our rejoicing democratic village
but the over-confident Veronaites, who lost
so much money betting on Blaine were
wise enough to remain at home, nursing
their sorrow. But they must remember
that "turn-about is fair play" and make up
their minds to witness cOntentedly the

place in the glorious and Democratic Unit

the way for thorough cure. This Is exactly

the cure complete by giving the system health

He repeated the same statement -
regards the position Of the parties ct the
time OF the shooting.
Did Mr.. Whitehead discharge youf
Yes.
Mrs. Ly dia Harris, sworn, testified as
to the circumstances Of the cause Of the
shooting, stating that the American En-
cyclopedia and the dictionary had been
her property for seven years. The state
ment regarding the assault upon the
witness was the same as formerly .testi-
fed to, but il plso was stated that wit
ness was thrown on the floor.

struggling! Five minutes. He did not

violence.
II. B. Cromwell, recalled, testified

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MARSHALL has
addressed Governor Stoneman commu-
nication, in which he informs him Of two
things. The first ia that he, the Attor-
ney General, has full power 10 settle the
Railway tax litigation by accepting the
amount Of the levies for the years In dis
pute, less the penalties and costs. The
second Is that unless the Governor shall
summon an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture, he. the Attorney General afore-
said, will settle these suits on that basis.
at the same time INDUCING in the absurd
assumption that the mere convening OF
that body would result In the evolutio.
Of an agency strong enough to compel
the railway to instantly settle its Ia
debtedness. This is the old Examiner
chimera over again. The HERALD has
always believed that railways, like in
dividuals, should pay their taxes, and
II they think them excessive they ought
to institute suits in the proper forums for
the recovery Of the excess, as any other
taxpayer would do. But as the railway
company has gone to law in the matter,
as that powerful corporation Is provided
with the best legal advice in the United
States; and a., under our American and,
indeed, under almost any system Of law,
the wealthy litigant Is provided with al.
most inexhaustible resources Of delay,
we do not sec how the assembling Of any
Legislative body would advance the peo-
ple's cause whit. What most tax pay
ers know Is that an extra session would
eventuate in great waste Of the public
treasure and in o regular bear garden,
which would be absolutely void
of useful results. In reply to the Attor.
ney.General, Governor Stoneman doubts
the authority of that gentleman to com
promise the tax suits by releasing penal
ties and costs; and admits that, as the
Executive Of California, he has often
considered the advisability of calling M
extra session, both on the grounds ad
vanced by Mr.. Marshall and on others
He fails to say, however, what his &C
tion In that respect will be. The Chron
icte, which can see nothing good in oul
Democratic Governor, winds up its re
view Of the correspondence by the ad
mission that, while it cannot see that {
special session would do the tax case
much good, 1t desires to see 1t called, al
the same, in order to end the controver
sy. In other words, the Chronicle cher
ishes the hope that special session
would probably rebound to the injury o
the Democratic party; and, on tina
ground, remembering the political out
come Of the special session called by th'
Democratic Governor Pattison, Of Penn
sylvania, it would like, by all means. t.
see the Legislature convened instanter
Governor Stoneman will doubtless lool
before he leaps. We have no idea tina
he will, under any circumstances, allow
himself to become a Republican cats
paw.

THE people Of Los Angeles showed, in
their prompt response to the benefit
rendered by Mrs. Jay Rial in aid of the
sufferers by the flood that they are in no
whit deaf to the demands of their suffer
ing fellow citizens. The way that box
sheet was marked up with reserved seats
early in the afternoon was caution.
The Messrs. Gasssn, Day and other
members Of the City Council approved
themselves capital canvassers for the
disposal of tickets.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-02-20

The committee appointed by the Coun-
Gil to take charge of the funds realized
from the benefit given by the Jay Rial
Ideal Combination, and the Relief Com.
mittee appointed to assist the Board of
Public Works, met in the office of Mayor
Thorn last evening, to devise ways to re-
leive the pressing needs of the sufferers
by the recent food.
The following members of the two
committees were present: Mayor Thorn,
Chairman, Councilmen Moore, Schroe-
der, Miles and Day, Of the Benefit Com
mittee, and Messrs. Wolfskill, Sabichi
and Niles, of the Relief Committee. DIR.
French, Chairman of the Board of Pub
lie Works, was also present.
A committee from the Ladies' Benevo-
lent Society, consisting Of Mrs. c. Du.
sommun, President, and Mesdames l. w.
Hellman and M. Dodswortb, attended
the meeting.
Mrs. Ducommun stated that the So
ciety had been doing all they could to
relieve the distress, but that their means
were limited and they were compelled
to call on the committees for assistance.
They found great need of clothing and
bed clothing, and suggested that if some
central point were provided the citizens
would see that their wants in this par.
ticular would be supplied.
Mr. Moore suggested that notice be
given through the newspapers that o
committee of the Ladies' Benevolent
Society, in conjunction with committee
of the Council, will be present in the
Council Chamber to receive contribu-
tions for the destitute. This suggestion
meeting the approval of the ladies, the
newspapers of the city were requested to
give the desired notice.
Some further discussion was had as to
the best and speediest means of alleyiat-
ing the present distress, during which
Mayor Thorn suggested that it would be
well to give to the Ladies Benevolent
Society $3.50 cash for immediate use.
Mrs. Dodsworth stated that the Ladies'
Society did not wish to distribute money,
their desire being only to have the means
to purchase such articles as were abso-
lutely needed.
Mr.. French moved that the sum Of
$3.50 of the relief fund be placed in the
hands of Mrs. c. Ducommun, President
of the Ladies' Benevolent Society, for
the relief OF flood sufferers to-day, We'd
nesday. Carried.
The Chief of Police said that it would
be necessary to have some gentlemen
present with the ladies in the Council
Chamber to prevent imposition, and
suggested that the Committee would do
well to have some of its members present
for that purpose.
Mr.. Schroeder moved that the Relief
Committee Of the Council, consisting of
ten members, remain intact and that the
Mayor detail two members of the Com
mittee to be present at the Council
chamber to assist the ladies, each detail
to remain on duty for half a day.
Adopted, and the Mayor detailed Messrs.
