HOn the Rio Grande.n

This new and exceedingly sensational
American play was produced for the
first time in this city at the Grand
Opera House last night. Owing to the
fact that the train from San Francisco
arrived after 7 o'clock, and the impress
sion had gotten abroad that there would
be no play, the house was rather slim.
The story is of the American border
type, where horse thieves and despera.
does are terror to the inchoate state of
society. Lynch law is the only code
known, and the sentences OF judges are
usually promptly carried out.
The company playing the piece were
all clever, and as the incidents are of a
very marked type the impression pro-
duced last night was good. The gallery
was we'll filled, and the character Of the
play will tend all the week to make the
house little top.heavy. The play will
continue until Saturday night. On the
afternoon OF that day there will be a
grand Christmas matinee.

sEOssON,S COMPLAINT.
Nervousness from Persecution
Loses Him the Game.

CHICAGO, December 2l.-George Slos-
son, the billiard expert, swore out a
warrant swearing against j. Fellows,
Secretary of the Tobey Furniture Com
pany, charging him with perjury, and
proposes to begin civil proceedings to-
morrow against that Company for heavy
damages, claiming that ON Friday while
resting and nerving himself for the
championship contest with Jacob
Schaefer, the Deputy Sheriff and
lawyer called at his billiard hall and said
they had an attachment against him for
a hundred dollars, due the Tobey Com
pany for household furniture. After
heated colloquy the Deputy and the
lawyer left to confer with the firm and
said they would return later. Slosson
remained in his hall until time for the
match to begin. He was excessively
nervous, suspecting plot and fearing
the attachment would be served in the
presence of the audience. BY 1880 he
felt more at ease and steadily improved
in his playing, but could not then over
take his opponent in time TO win the
game. He claims the fellows committed
perjury in swearing he (Slosson) was
fraudulently concealing his property and
person to evade the payment OF debt.

Soecial 10 the Herald bv the Associated Press,
SAN Francisco, December 2l.--Early
shis morning Maurice Nugent, candy
maser, was shot and killed in saloon
on Howard street by Thomas Bailey, a
well known character. This makes the
fourth murder within the last week, and
the seventh within the last six weeks in
the city.
Bailey entered the saloon a few min.
utes before the shooting and endeavored
to provoke an alteration. Edward
Powers, the barkeeper, ordered Bailey
to leave the place. The latter refused.
when Powers hurled a small beer glass
at Bailey, who Immediately retreated
outside. Nugent followed him, but his
curiosity cost him his life, for he had
hardly got outside of the door when the
shot was fred. He staggered back and
expired almost Immediately. The mur-
6erer escaped. He has an unenviable
criminal record, and is well known to
the police, having been in custody man y
times. He is out on bail pending trial
on the charge of criminal assault on Mrs.
Jane Lowe in March last.
Bailey was arrested at half past six
this evening together with Frank German
the man who was with him at the time
of the shooting. Both have beeh charged
with murder. Baily claims he did not
fire the fatal shot.

A PREACHEK,S PERIL,
hesicgcd by n Mob AT His own
Church..

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December 2l.-
For some months past the first co(ored
Baptist church of this city has been in
volved in bitter quarrel which arose
primarily from the calling of r. T.
Huffman, of Louisville, to the PASTOR
ate. The intelligent part of the congre-
CATION opposed calling him on account
of his bad character in Louisville, but
were overruled and Huffman came. He
was soon accused of improper conduct
towards the women of the church and
several laid their shame at his door.
He had an unaccountable influence over
the ignorant portion of the congrega-
ton, however, and managed to hold on.
1t was announced that he would preach
on "Rattlesnakes" Sunday night and
as this was construed as personal to his
enemies, a large congregation gathered
armed for row. He, however, post
poned the sermon until tonight. The
church to night was packed with Hutf-
mann's armed adherens, and an angry
mob surged outside the building. Hutf-
mann. on the advice Of bis friends, did
not preach his rattleshake sermon. AS
he left the church the mob surged
toward him madly. He drew two pistols
and fired both into the crowd, but no
one in it is known to be injured. Shots
were returned and Huffman fled to the
church. He escaped through back
window. but the crowd, thinking he Is
inside, are still there threatening to burn
the house to get at him.

was made up of the heaviest taxpayers
and best men of the place. Four of the
best friends of the sheriff were detailed
to peacefully call on him at the proper
time and hold him prisoner. Arrange.
ments were made afterwards for cold
chisels, sledges and rope. Soon after
7 o'clock the sheriff was captured and
held prisoner in wood shed. Then
the party with tools started for the jail
followed by hooting crowd. The jill

the electric light tower in tue principal
part Of town, where he was again given
an opportunity to confess. He declared
his innocence, and asked that his body
be buried and that his coat and letters

Of which had been thrown over beam
of the tower and was in the hands of
several stalwar. men. just then Il call
for silence was made and hush fell
over the crowd in expectation of q con-
fesson, but Musset ogain said that he
was innocent. "Pull the rope" was the
order, and in an instant Musset's body
was dangling in the air. AT this sight
the crowd gave vent to its delight by
hand-clapping and cheers. The body
was left hanging an hour, during which
time hundreds of women and children
gathered about to see it. 1t was then
cut down and given to an undertaken.
Musset's crime was the of killing Daniel

A NEW MARBLE QUARRY.
Preparations for Its speedy DE.
veI0pmcnt.

A piece of marble from the new Po-
mona quarry was left at the HERALD Of
flee last evening by Mr.. Dewitt Wise,
the experienced marble expert, who has
he development of the quarry in hand.
fhe specimen is represented as fair
sample Of the extensive quarry which
was lately brought to light on the premi-
ses of nr. Fairchi!d, near Pomona. 1t
closely resembles Italian marble, and its
utility for building purposes, mantels,
monuments, etc., can scarcely be sur.
passed, is the verdict of the experts
who have examined into its merits close
ly.
The development of such quarry
would result in immense benefit to Po-
mona, Los Angeles and vicinity, and
steps are being taken for the organiza-
ton of a company for that purpose. A
partial contract has already been made
for the furnishing of large quantity of
the marble for magnificent mansion
soon to be erected in the vicinity of this
city. Mr.. Wise and DIR. Fairchild will
proceed at once to the perfecting of
plans for the opening of the quarry,
which will not be difficult. The stock
Of the new company will certainly be in
demand when placed on the market.

ROsamOnd items.

tFrom the Antelope Valley News.)
The Messrs. Crandail & Carter are
about to commence operations for open
ing their tire.clay. or kaoin, mine. The
several carloads that were shipped to
Los Angeles are being worked in the
manufacture of sewer-pipe and give good
results. One of the peculiar features Of
this clay is that it does not crack on
baking, which cannot be said of the FL.
sinore and other clays found to the south
OF us or anywhere else on this coast.
These gentlemen have this superior clay
in unlimited quantity, and experiments
are being made to cast hollow blocks of
it for building purposes, that system of
constructing walls having become very
popular in the East.
DIR. l.. A. Crandall returned to Rosa.
fnond last Tuesday and will now remain
for some time. He went earnestly to
work the next day preparing to develop
more water on his homestead adjoining
town, by boring surface wells along the
hillside to prospect and ascertain to a
certainty if there is not enough to be
had near the surface to fill an extensive
canal reservoir. It's believed that there
is, and we are confident the doctor will
strike it. He will also commence plow.
ing soon and put in ten or more acres of
grain and will fence in several acres and
set to fruit trees and vines.
DR.. p. G. Sutton, who only arrived
here on the 7th instant from Colusa
county, with his family and teams, has
already cleared off the brush from eighty
acres on his section three, about four
miles from Rosamond. The land is in
such moist condition, and it looks so
rich and inviting that the Doctor is
more than pleased. DR.. Sutton will
certainly prove that the land, in this
vicinity at least, can be made most pro.
ductive by proper tillage. No begin
ner in new country and on virgin soil
could possibly feel more confident OF
success than does the Doctor.
Mr.. Charles Cooper, painter who
came here with Dr. Sutton from Colusa
county to work on the Doctors house,
liking our valley and its climate so well,
went to Los Angeles few days ago and
filed homestead claim on sec. "a, tip. 7
north, range ii west, and begins i'm
provements as soon as he can settle up
his business north. Mr.. Cooper went
to Los Angeles and worked "a few days,
but not having good health he returned
to our clear, balmy atmosphere.
