GIVE us Protection from Fire.

Fire ars infrequent in Los Angeles,
but when they do occur, especially in
the neighborhood in which that occurred
yesterday, they are disastrous. There
are only two fire hydrants east of Ala
media street, and the fire engine has to
depend on the zanja. which is more or
less distant from any fire. The people
who live around there are SO thoroughly
frightened that many Of them keep
everythina packed that Is possible in
trunks. In yesterdays blaze, four
families moved out their goods,
who were out Of the line Of the
FIRE, except one, which was saved by
water. In the recent burning of stack
Of hay on First street near the river
bank, and surrounded by small homes,
all the hose in the city did No. reach 1t
In two hours. The nying sparks dew
onto the houses. hut ~ it happened to
be on Sunday afternoon, nearly all
the neighbors were at home, and q
bucket brigade. Of men, women and
children saved their homes, when
the engine, pumping at the zanja, could
not reach the FIRE till some old, r6ttsn
hose was found UP town. At that time,
II house had taken FIRE instead Of the
hay, great many houses, owned by poor
people, would have been destroyed and
families in Them made homelsss.
And, az the houses are near together, .
probable loss Of life would have oc-
CURED. Other streets are suitably pro-
yided with fire hydrants : although
there are all too few-hut in this thickiy
settled section, from Also to First
street, and Alameda street to the river,
there is little protection from fire, excspt
hydrant on Aliso street and one on
First street, very far apart, and q zanja
between, that is sometimes dry.

Stephenson, at eleven O'Clock.
There was full meeting, and enoour-
aging news was received from all parts
of the county.
Matters Of interest to the party were
discussed. and the meeting was very har-
monious.
1t was resolved as the sense Of the Com
mittee that the election Of delegates to
the County Convention should be held
by primaries as in previous elections.
The Committee then adjourned to await
the call of the Chairman.
1t is rumored that the Committee in
formally decided not to put o ticket in
the field until the Republicans had held
their Convention and nominated. There
is also rumor that at the last meeting
Of the Republican Committee it was
agreed not to nominate until the Demo-
cratic ticket was announced, and when
thsy adjourned the Secretary was in
structed to call the Committee
together after the Democrats had
set date fortheir Convention.
Now il is said thar after the action OF
the Democrats, the Republicans declare
by the great horn spoon that they will
not put ticket in the field until the
night before election.

Sad Death OF Miss Kate Bradley
Near Long Beach.

Sad Death OF Miss Kate Bradley
Near Long Beach.
A household bereaved. loving father
heart. broken, q doting mother distract
ed, devoted circle Of friends and class.
mates sunk ia sorrow. All this was
caused by the dire intelligence which
was brought to this city yesterday Of
the sad drowning Of Kate Seymour
Bradley. the fourteen year-old daughter
Of Charles H. Bradley, prominent
citizen Of Los Angeles. The unfortunate
Young lady, with her mother and the
other members Of the family, were
spending the summer ut Long Beach.
Yesterday with party Of companions
she started out in the full bloom OF
beautiful youth. with all the future
bright before her, and ere ths sun had
reached its zenith her lovely form was
enguIfsd in tho treacherous waves Of the
Pacific and her pure spirit had winged
its flight to mingle with its companion
spirits in heaven. Unavailing then
were the tears Of her stricken mother
who had bade her farewell with
such tender injunctions but
few hours before. Unavailing the
Qroans of the heart-broken father, on
whom the news fell like thunderbolt,
It only remains for these beresved ones
to bow the head in resignation to tho
will of God. All that tender, sympa-
thizinr friends can do will not suffice to
assuage the grief Of these afflicted par
ems.
The manner in which the sad accident
| happened is as follows: Quite number
Of the young peop'e, of families camping
at Long Beach, left their:homes yes'sr-
day morning for stroll along the beach
and q picnic. They reached the mouth
Of the San Gabriel river, about two miles
| from home, and attempted to cross tho
river by wading. Paul Bresee, son Of
| Rev. P. F. Bresee, who was Of tho party,
| vent across the river first In safety
| Miss Bradley then started across, but
| getting beyond her depth, by probably
| stepping into . hole, sunk beneath
the waters. Paul Rresee and Clinton
| Bradley, Kittie's brother, made noble
efforts to save the drowning girl. but
the cprrent was so strong that all efforts
proved fruitless and she was drowned.
The news was immediately communicat-
ed to the houses and crowd Of horror
stricken people soon gathered. Efforts
were madc to recover the body, and at
two o'clock In the afternoon the sea
gave up its dead.
Ia case like this words are useless.
Many hearts are stirred to their depths
with sorrow for the departed one and
sympathy for the family.
| The funeral will take place this after
noon at three O'Clock from the residence
Of Mr.: c. H. Bradley, at No. 3ls West
Fourth street.

former has been in public life a long

as first assistant postmaster general
under Hayes, He went from here to
Fargo. and now considers himself a
citizen Of the territory. Nj. Deering
was a member of congress for three
terms. with an enyiable record; and
the best work, for which he will always
he remembered, was the establishment
of the system Of Indian schools which
have been so successful. He is a gen

AS my big brother, Two B. -Four, will
hardly send you any news this week on
account of nervous prostration brought
on by our election; and our worthy
scribe, Observer, has been silent since
he was rendered an office by the county
commissioners, please notice a few
lines from a. Splinter.
We are in fair health, stock looks
well, where it has had good sheds and
plenty of hay.
We dance some, play cards, checkers
and dominoes, and we sometimes go
over the line into Beadle Co., to q ly-
cerlm, held there once a week, and we
effuse and spout-and- and very likely
make fools Of ourselves, but that is
our business.
Brother T. b. f. says they got left on
the election, and they will get left eve
ry time they start a ticket like theirs.
Alpena is making quite an effort to
get our trade. Now if the Springs will
just put in stocks of goods and fix their
bridges, as soon IS possible; we would
sooner come there as it is nearer. But
they probably know how bad they want
our'trade.
J. Simons, a. Easterand G. Novingel
are expected from Iowa with stock for
their farms.
II. w. Louder is east now on visit;
he and LII. j. will shortly show up in
the Dale Of cactus and gilnbo.
