Another destructive runaway occur
red at the new depot this morning.
While delivery wagon from the butch
ering establishment of vickery 4 Kinds
was standing at the south end Of the
passenger depot the horse sauntered off,
ieisurely at first, but soon broke into
run towards the freight depot. When
nearly opposite the wagon upset and
broke things up pretty badly before he
could be stopped. The practice of leav-
ing delivery teams unhitched should be
stopped by IL rigid enforcement Of the
ordinance, regardless of persons. 1t was
almost miracle the vehicle did not col
lidc with other vehicles at that hour.
The public debt, less the cash in the
treasury of the nation, is now reduced to
81, ,4i6, ,056, 94697. This amount is but
S25.S2 apiece for the entire people Of the
United States, according to our estimat-
ed population of $4,000, 900, and we can
have thirty years in which to pay it
without foreclosure, and then we shall
have 80, 900, 900 more neighbors to divide
the debt with or to borrow from provid-
ing weare short of the necessary amount.
In 1865 our dear people owed s77 per
capita Of national debt. They are climb
ing out Of debt very rapidly.
One of the busiest places in the city is
.. c. Brghts well known cheap store,
$50 North Main street. The way Bright
is slaughtering calicos at four cents per
yard astonishes the people, while his
ginghams at five cents a yard paralyze
the people. He buys by the car load the
great bankrupt stocks in st. Louis and
New York, for cash, aud sells to suit
himself. He is determined to undersell
any other store in California, and this
proposition crowds his store with Gus
toners six days in week.
The Democracy of Los Nietos met
last Saturday evening and had pre-
liminary organization Of a Cleveland and
Hendricks Club by electing L. L. Be-
auette as Chairman and Mr.. Andersen
as Secretary. A committee on bylaws
and permanent organization was ap-
pointed, who will report next Saturday.
Thirteen men joined the club, and there
is every prospect now for large and ac-
tive club in this, the banner Democratic
precinct of Los Angeles county.
DIR. J. s. Bare announces in another
column the removal of his office from
3O2 North Main street to Larronde
Block, opposite the Postoflice, on the
corner Of First and Spring street. The
Doctor, in addition to his regular duties
as physician and surgeon, makes a
speciality of ruptures, which he guaran-
tees to cule. His consultations are
free.
A very important work has been begun
in some of our public buildings and bus
iness houses in the removal Of the iron
plates from stairways, and the substitu-
tion of rubber in place Of the iron. These
iron plates are very dangerous when
they become worn smooth and slippery.
Although it is said that "Sinners stand
on slippery places" other people cam

''Did you write up this local for
Snooks, the grocer" asked the city edi.

Just the thing to announce that his fresh
eggs can't be beat, his cheese goes of of
its own account, and his butter occupies
a strong place in the regard Of the pub
lic?"
As an evidence of the appreciation of
real estate values it may be stated that
Mr.. Bernero purchased few years ago
the lot on the corner Of Spring and
Third streets, 60x70 feet for $4,000 and
on Thursday last sold it for s36, 900. The
buildings on the place have been worth
less for the last six years. Advance
seems to be the watchword,
