BLACK GOODS.

B. Priestly & Co.'s Silk Warp
Henriettas are the most thorough.
ly reliable goods in the market.
They are made Of the finest silk
and best Australian wool. You
can easily distinguish them by
their softness and beauty and reg
ularity of finish. They are al
ways the same in quality, thus
enabling you to match any piece,
and are dyed in two standard
shades of black. The silken finish
sebastopol, French Broadcloths,
Lustred Sicilians and English
Pilot Cloths will be worn as much
as usual, and already the demand
for such goods requires duplicate
orders. In trimmings, black Moire
Silks in beautiful designs, entirely
new with the season, will be used
in panels, etc., while Passemen-
teries in exquisite effects and Silk
Gimps in elongated patterns will
be worn as much as ever. We are
making special efforts in Black
Goods, and invite a comparison
with prices elsewhere.

Diseased Pork and Beef.

DR.. H. s. Orme, who has been attend
ing the State Board of Health at
Sacramento, returned yesterday morn
ing. He stopped over at San Francisco
and investigated the subject of diseased
meats there. lie found that such meats
had been detected in the markets of that
city, and that there was great deal of
public feeling about it. The largest
number of diseased cattle had come from
Salinas Valley, but there were others in
other parts of the State. The State
Board took action upon the subject and
prepared pertinent circulars to send to
the various Health Officers throughout
the State. DR.. Orme, on arriving here,
read the account in the HERALD pub
lished yesterday, revealing the fact that
hogs for market are fed on dead and rot
ten horses and COWS in caiion opposite
Sycamore Grove. and will take steps to
institute an official inquiry into the sub
ject. The appalling revelations made by
the HERALD reporter have created great
sensation in the county.

SHOT HIMSELF.
A BULLET Passes Through One Man
and Hits Another.

and Hits Another.
1t is noticeable fact that tragedies
seldom come singly, but follow each
other in rapid succession, generally after
long period of quietness. The quiet
period this year commenced in June and
ended on Saturday, when a tramp at
Fulton Wells attempted to murder Mrs.
Sackett and then committed suicide. On
Sunday the murder of Pedro Lopez at
Verdugo took place and yesterday SEN
satlonal suicide involving the wounding
OF another man took place on CONNER
cial street in this city. It appears from
statements OF witnesses that at about 8
O'Clock yesterday morning man who
has since been identified as a gambler
named Frank Worlsten entered a pawn
broker shop on Commercial street, just
below Main, and asked to be shown re-
volver. The young man in the store
handed him Smith & Wesson revolver,
and while he was inspecting it James
Gillespie, an elderly man, employed as
a watchman for the Southern Pacific
Co., entered and tried on a coat directly
behind Worlsten. The latter said he
thought he would take the revolver and
asked the clerk to load for him, which
was done. Worlsten then took the
pistol and placing its muzzle close to his
abdomen fired. The bullet passed
through Worlsten's stomach and came
out just above his hip with such force
that it entered the back of Gillespie and
ranged upward, lodging in his chest.
Worlsten before any one could reach him,
pulled the trigger, a second time the
ball entering the floor. He then ran out
Of the store and when he reached the
sidewalk fired third shot. This time
the bullet entered the ceiling OF saloon
adjoining. Worlsten then placed the
muzzle of the pistol to his right temple
and fired again. This time the bullet
and the powder tore away portion of
his forehead and he dropped to the side
walk, where writhed as if in horrible
pain. He was conveyed to the Police
Station, where DR.. Choate did all in his
power to relieve his suferings, but with
out avail. After long and severe
struggle Worlsten died at the City
Prison at 6 O'Clock last night.
Gillespie, who had not felt the wound at
first, shortly afterward feltfaint and then
experienced pain in his back and side.
He was examined, and the cause was
soon ascertained. Later on he was sent
to the Sisters Hospital, where he was
made as comfortable as possible.
Worlsten was sentenced some time
ago to 210 days in the county Jail for par
ticipation in "shell game" robbery at
San Pedro. He was released short time
since, and has since then wandered aim
lessly about the streets with blue glasses
over his eyes.
Worlsten was born in New Jersey,
about ten miles from Philadelphia, and
emigrated to the Lake States and taught
school for five years. He was pupil OF
Prof Fowler, the Phrenologist, and be-
lieved in this science. One of his occu-
pations here was that of unloading wood.
At last accounts Gillespie was in no
immediate danger from his wound.

The santa Monica Road.

The Santa Monica papers publish a
statement to the effect that the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe people have pur-
chased the Los Angeles County Railroad.
A HERALD man called at the offices yes
terday and asked if there was anything
in it, whereupon the President of the
road, replied, "No, sir. The statement
is absolutely without foundation. This
road is purely the result of local enter
prise, and it is our intention to build,
equip and operate it ourselves. Neither
the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific nor any
other company has anything to do with
our affairs"

Aflernoon Nession.

Messrs. Dobinson & Fairchild asked
that their bid for the paving of Second
street be returned to them, as the prop
erty was not assessable. Referred to the
City Attorney.
Mr.. Book asked that the Street Su per-
intendent be instructed to notify the
street car company to pave between it's
tracks on Second street, between Spring
and Main. The motion was lost bv a
vote of to l. 1t was stated that the
street was being paved by private con-
tract when contract had been let by
the Council and had not been rescinded.
Under this state Of affairs, the city had

The protest of Asa Adams, contractor
for the paving Of Eighth street, was read.
The contractor set forth that the entire

value of the lots as assessed was not
double the cost Of the grading. The

THE SAN PEDRO WHARF.
why the Work Has Been So Much
Delayed.

Work on the Southern Pacifc's big
wharf at San Pedro will be resumed
again very shortly. As has been before
stated the delay has occurred owing to
the fact that the piles had to be creasot-
ed, but it was only yesterday that the
news was given out that no available
creasote could be obtained in the United
States. The Southern Pacific discovered
this some time ago, and sent an order
for large quantity to Germany. and this
is due here very soon. Works will then
be established and the piles creosoted
and driven without further delay. The
Southern Pacific people say that the
wharf will be all ready for business early
in the spring next year.

THE DAKOTA CRUELTI. - Fig
ures have been produced to show
that Dakota pays more for the sup
port OF schools in the Territory than
is paid in sixteen of the sovereign
States. The ugly thing about this
is, that almost without exception
the Congressional Representatives
from those sixteen States are oppos-
ed to the admission Of Dakota into
the Union. Not one Of them can
present solitary valid reason for
keeping the Territory out; not one
can truthfully say that Dakota is
not abundantly able to maintain .
State government; no one can de-
nv that Dakota is equitably entitled
to the rights and privileges and BEN
efits of Statehood. Yet these men
from the petty, non-progressivc and
poverty-stricken commemorative ex-
ercise arbitrary power and deny to
the grand but helpless Territory its
right to local self-government, and
keep it out of the Union, a thing
to be kicked and cuffed and abused
by politicians and plnnderers.
Only one thing can be urged against
admission, and that is the circum-
stance that the majority Of the peo-
pie are Republican in their politics.
Their politics is their offense. and
by Congressman it is made a crime
punishable by Acknowledgement and
denial of the rights of citizenship.
1t so happens that the Democrats
are culpable in this matter. They
are the opposition, because they
have not the courage to do right in
an affair that will benefit their OPP
ponents The Republicans are TAX
ing unto themselves credit for their
effort to DO justice to Dakota, but
they are entitled to no praise Ii
Dakota we're Democratic, we would
see the Republicans fighting her adj
mission as desperately and cruelty
as the Democrats are doing to-day.
Still, the Democrats are to blame
in this instance, and the people OF
the Territories will not grieve if the
party shall loose votes next fall on
account of its wicked work.

Luxuriant Hair

Ayers Hair vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the

falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
