splfced ON the Sea.

An interesting incident-ak kind Of Gret-
ma Green marriage-occurred on board
the steamer Falcon yesterday morning
on her trip from San Pedro to Catalina.
Among the passengers were young lady
and gentleman, who, shortly after the
steamer left the wharf, entered into earn
est conversation with Captain Simmie,
the result being that the gallant Captain
"spliced' the young couple on the deck
of the Falcon, the courteous steward, Mr..
Dorning, acting as "best man." The
happy pair returned to San Pedro in the
afternoon, seeming confident that in
their united condition they would be able
to cope with any immediate or future
difficulties.

WAS HE CRAZY?
Drunken Man Lands His Friend
in jail.


Early Sunday morning, just before
dawn drunken man staggard up Second
street and fell over the curbstone in
front of the Police Station. "Shay," he
calculated to the group of blue coats who
surrounded him, "have you got any ush
for crazhy man here ?" "Crazy ARE you ?"
said Detective Mccarthy, who was stand
ing near. "Well you don't look it,"
"Don't mean myself" said the visitor.
"Nuzzer man just round the corner,
crazhy, plumb crazhy."
His continued assertion that the other
man was not drunk but crazy finally
convinced the officers that the matter
should be looked into and Officer Del
Vale accompanied the drunken man
around the corner in search of the
lunatic.
Presently he returned looking very
much disguised.
"Both OF them drunken than boiled
owls, J" he declared.
About half an hour later there was a
sound as if some one trying to wipe up
the sidewalk with himself. Then the
drunken man staggered in, pulling along
the other one.
"Crazhy!" he replied solemnly. "I
brought him myself"
"That's all we want of this" replied
Clerk Van Luven "put them both in, one
for drunk and the other for medical
treatment"
Late in the morning the man who was
said to be troubled with some unusual
species of mental alteration was dis
missed by the Chief. His name was j.
A. House. The officious friend was G. B.
Weimer.

Two RunaWays.

The fire engines tearing through the
streets at 6 O'Clock yesterday evening
caused several runaways. A horse and
buggy driven by man by the name of
Hodge, went at full speed down Spring
street. One of the wheels came off, and
the occupant was thrown about in live
ly style. A man by the name of Shaw
grabbed the horses head and stopped
him, although he was thrown down and
dragged some distance in the effort. The
horse and buggy were said to belong to
the New Natick House. AS the Plaza
engine passed the Court House it started
up one horse buggy driven by two little
girls. 1t rushed into Spring street just
as the hook and ladder wagon passed.
A passing workman ran out in the street
and seized the reins, stopping the horse
just iii time.

THE FREEHOLDERS.
The Schedule Salaries Some what


Changed.
The Board of Freeholders met yester-
day, Major Bonebrake in the chair, and
Messrs. Moore, Day, Mackay, Robinson,
Mansfield, Brown, Scott, Baldwin, Book
and DR.. Kurtz present.
The Revisory Committee reported that
it had made several changes in the
wording of several sections. Adopted.
General Mansfield said it had been
suggested that the boundary between the
Fourth and Fifth wards should be
changed from Washington street to Pico
street, but no action was taken in the
matter.
On motion the word "public" was in
serted before "billiard tables" in the
section relating to the licensing and sup
preston of the same.
Mr.. Day suggested that the Council be
given the power to prohibit livery sta
bles when they become nuisances.
General Mansfield moved that the
d Council be given the power of prohibit
ing livery and sale stables, cattle and
horse corrals. Carried.
In the discussion in relation to this
subject General Mansfield and Mr.. Day
said that there was no OOuDC DuC CHaC
some individuals made business of
renting lots and putting up signs an
nouncing that they would start livery
stable for the sake of being bought by
the property owners. The addition to
the charter, it was thought, would pre-
vent this.
Major Bonebrake called attention to
the section in relation to tle salaries of
officers. He thought the salaries in
some cases were too much. He moved
that the salaries Of City Clerk, City As
SCISSOR, Street Superintendent, Health
Officer and City Tax and License Col
lector be reduced from $4,000 to $2,400
per annum.
Mr.. Mackey believed the salaries as
provided were not too large, and he OBJ
jected to any further cut.
The motion to reduce the salary OF the
City Clerk to $2,400 per year was car
ried.
The motion to reduce the salary of the
City Auditor to $2,40O was carried, as
also was that in relation to the City AS
SCISSOR and City Treasurer.
At this point the Board adjourned un-
til o'clock.
