L
afternoon Sam Ginsberg borrowed S. Ger
son IL Co.'S delivery wagon to go to the
depot for trunk. He was returning from
the depot through Third street, and had
got to place where. the road is under
water for few yards, owing to the high
stage of China slough, when the horse not
liking the looks of the water, stopped and
commenced to back. Sam, not being an
expert with the ribbons, could not stop
him, and the result was the backing of the
wagon off the bank into the slough, into
which the horse, after vainly struggling for
brief time, was drawn after it and
drowned. The trunk, containing a cos
tune which lady was to wear at the
| masquerade ball last evening, went adrift,
| but was soon recovered, with its contents
| considerably damaged. James Brisco later
in the afternoon got the horse and wagon
out of the water with block and tackle
| The horse was young animal valued at
| about $500, and much priced by his owners
because of his having become well broken
| to the work required of him. Since the
accident Ginsberg has had to stand great
deal of chatting from acquaintance, who
expressed desire to secure his services as
driver for the benefit of owners of trot-
tiers.
LAST EVENINGS ALARM.-About $50 last
evening lamp fell in the hat-room, ar
ranged for the masquerade ball. and ex-
ploded, igniting the woodwork. Some of
the blazing oil ran through crack in the
floor and down upon the ceiling of the
lower portion OF the building. The fact
was not discovered for few minutes after
| the blaze above had been put out, but by
the use of portable extinguisher the fire
was suppressed. A fine team of dark brown
horses, weighing over 1,500 pounds EACH
which was purchased by the Fire Commits
sioners a day or two ago, and went into
service on No. Is engine yesterday. had
| their first experience last evening. They
were in harness when the alarm sounded,
and started with rush, going up X street
for few blocks like thoroughbred racers.
! They are young and tractable. and driver
Hollingsworth expects to soon have them
IN shape for splendid work.
The REssEQUIE DAMAGE SUIT.-In the
case Of Frank A. Ressequie vs. The Central
Pacific Railroad Company, in which action
is brought for $4,000 damages, as men
| toned in the last issue of the RECORD
| UNION, the plaintiff rested about P. NJ.

ton. The trial of the case will doubtless
occupy day or two yet.
| MEXICAN ORCHEsTRA.-The Opera House
was crowded to the very doors last evening
to welcome the Mexican Typical Orchestra.
Ii is fair to say that the fame of this COM
/ pany which had long preceded them was
not one whit overdrawn. They produce
some most exquisite melody, and il is,
withal, so novel that it fairly captivates the
| listeners. 1t may be said that the audience
fairly went into ecstacies throughout the
performance, applauding in the very inter-
walls of piece and demanding repetition OF
each. The playing of Professor Encarnacion
Garcia on the ninety-nine stringed instru-
ment, resembling an old-fashioned dulci-
mer, was especially melodious. The clario-
net solo by Senior Adam Galarza was rapt-
urously encored and a repetition insisted
on. Senior Carlos Curtis xylophone solo
also made great hit. The Mexican dance,
Ell Jarabe Mexicano, was immense, and
the audience demanded a repetition and
staid to see it.-IBos Angeles Daily Times. ;
