SHIP ASHORE.
The Respig gadera Strikes a Reef at
Point Eirmin.

The Respigadera Strikes a Reef at
Point Firmin.
A serious wreck occurred at San Pedro
yesterday afternoon which will probably
result in the complete loss OF large YES
sci and it's entire cargo. The ship Res
pigadera undertook to enter the harbor
without pilot and made a melancholy
failure of the effort. 1t was under the
command of Captain Purcell and he had
come from Newcastle, New South Wales,
Australia. AS it roy ded Point Firmin
it ran upon the rocF reef in which that
promcntory terminates and wedged
tight. There was not much of sea on
at the time, else the ship would soon
have been broken to pieces. The crew
consisted of twenty-five men, vino
speedily left the vessel in boats, as its
sinking seemed to be imminent. This
took place about two O'Clock.
The vessel was loaded with coal for the
Southern Pacific Company, the cargo
consisting of $500 tons. 1t was consign-
ed to w. B. Chapman. On the trip
across the Pacific. canoe containing
seven Kanakas, or Malay Islanders, was
picked up far out at sea. The nearest
land was the South Sea Islands, from
which the castaways had probably wan
dered. The shipwa large one OF 900
burden. There is little prospect that
either the vessel or any of it's cargo will
be saved,

STIRRING EVENTS.
An Attempt to Wreck the
Santa Fe Overland.
SHIP ASHORE AT POINT FIRMIN
Several Buildings Burned in East
Los Angeles Last
Evening.

A fendish attempt was made last
night to wreck the Santa Fe East bound
overland train within the city limits.
The train which was made up of the
usual mail, express, baggage, passenger
and Pullman cars pulled out on time at
10 P. NJ, and as is usual, until the city is
left behind, the engineer did not get up
very much speed. AS the train ap-
preached the signal station on the Mis-
sion Road where the Southern Pacific
line crosses the track, there was crash,
and the engineer realizing that
something had happened reversed
the lever, put on the brakes
and stopped the train in the twinkling of
an eye. The trainmen and some of the
passengers leapt from the cars to see
what had happened, and on going to the
front of the COW. catcher found large
telegraph pole stretched across the track.
That it was placed there b, some one
with malicious intent goes beyond doubt,
for the incoming train passed the spot
half an hour before and every
thing was then all right. At
the spot where the affair
occurred there is an eight-foot embank-
ment down which the train with it's cars
loaded with precious lives would have
toppled. Judging by the remarks that
were made, had the perpetrators of the
outrage been discovered he would have
stood good chance of adorning one of
the telegraph poles he was so fond of
handling. The pole laid on the track
had been obtained from a pile near by
which had been laid there to await the
coming of gang of linemen.

San Francisco. Mr.. Taylor is unques-
tionably the champion Of the Northern
part of the State, and claims to hold that
honor west of the Rockies, though many
think that the Los Angeles county man
can beat him. The correspondence has
resulted in a match being arranged. 1t
is for a $50 trophy, and will
be played on the California Club grounds
at San Francisco on Saturday, October
18th, the Northern organization contrib
uting $50 towards Mr.. Carter's expenses.
The Southern Association will, of course,
do the same, es Mr.. Carter will represent
their interests. The result will be de-
cided by the best 3 out OF 5 sets.

ENJOYED HIS VISIT.
A Railroad officials Opinion of
Los Angeles.


Mr.. w. S. Baldwin, Pacific coast agent
of the Vanderbilt system, left for his
headquarters at San Francisco last night.
1t was Mr.. Baldwin's first visit to this
part of the country, and during his stay
here of two weeks he has explored the
surrounding territory very carefully.
Speaking of his observations to a
HERALD man yesterday he said: "This
section fully corresponds to all the glow
ing reports have heard about it. 1t is
all nonsense for Eastern and Northern
papers to talk about depression here,
for on every side there are indications
that falsify such statements. There are
more substantial buildings going up at
the present time in this city than at any
place 1 have visited for some years. I
have had an enjoyable experience here
and shall come again."

wants Democratic speakers.

EDITORS HERALD-I write to inquire if
we can't have little Democratic speak
ing at this out-of-the-way place. I
am comparatively new conner,
and it was some time before I
met with Democrat, but find we have
a goodly number, and others who have
always voted with the Republicans, will
ing to be converted.
In my judgment good tariff talker
would do much good here. l would
gladly meet any such at the depot at
Anaheim and take care of and return
them to the railroad if informed before
hand. Very respectfully,
HENRY CARLYLE.

FIRE ON THE EAST SIDE.
Two Buildings Gutted-Attempt to
XIII a Fireman.

Two Buildings Gutted-Attempt to
XIII a Fireman.
At half-past seven yesterday evening
fire broke out in Bruce's lodging house,
situated in the Dimmick building next to
the corner of Chestnut street and Downey
avenue, East Los Angeles. 1t gained rap
id headway, and by the time the engines
had arrived the flames had seized the
adjoining building and were leaping in
fiery heavenwards. At this juncture it
looked as if both structures would be
burned to the ground, and this meant
destruction to rhye Bros. hardware store
which with Bruce's lodgingh house over
head com prised the Dimmick building,
and Baelz's restaurant and Abbott's
picture store with G. H. Cady's lodg-
ing house above, which comprised
the Abbott building. A score of willing
hands threw furniture and store property
into the street, and this was all that was
saved, for the buildings were entirely
gutted. They were both of frame. the
Dimmick building being two-storied and
the Abbott building three-storied, and
were fully insured, there being $500
worth of policies taken out by Mr.. Abbott,
81 900 worth by Mr.. Cady and 5000
worth by Mr.. Baelz, the other losers it is
understood, being equally well protected.
The managers of the East Side Bank and
the Odd Fellows Hall, which adjoin the
burnt buildings, had everything in readi-
ness to remove their portable property
in case the fire communicated to their
buildings. 1t is not known how the
confagration originated, for although it
is traced to one of the back rooms OF
Bruce's lodging-house all clues end
there.
A FIREMAN SHOT AT.
An incident of the fire was All attempt
to murder Charles Mahoney, fireman of
Engine No. (the Plaza. A gang
of hoodlums were standing at the
back of the Dimmick house and tried to
run the whole fire department. To get
rid OF them the hose foreman turned the
nozzle in their direction, and minute
later one of them deliberately fred two
shots at him. Mahoney, who was standing
in front of the foreman was hit by one of
the bullets on the side of the head and
fell stunned to the ground. He was con-
veyed to DIR. Schumacher's residence
where his wounds we're temporarily
treated, after which he was taken over
to the engine house and underwent fur
ther treatment at the hands of DR..
Choate. The wound is not serious
one. There is no clue to the intending
assassin.

forthwith lodged in the County Jail.
The charge was assault with intent to
commit murder. Several months ago,
Wong Sue says, Lee knocked him down

his head and shoulder. He then robbed
him OF $S5. AS proof of all this, Wong

''The Kitty'' Causes N Laugh at
the Grand.
Mr.. Mestayer and his company made
their bow at the Grand Opera House
last night in the musical farce-comedy,
The Kitty. A fairly good house, whose
burden was mostly up stairs, assembled
to witness the play and laugh for an
hour over its absurdities. 1t is full
OF melodious measures, well sung,
and of perfect abandon Of
funny sayings. , Miss Amy Ames
will be remembered as the leading spirit
in Natural Gas, which was produced here
some months ago. Miss Theresa Vaughn
is a comely damsel, with good voice as
we'll as a fair face. She is fanked right
and left by bevy of pretty girls, who
sing and dance we'll. There is good
deal of legmania in the play, and the
gallery gets it bad. Below stairs the
people enjoyed the play. It holds the
boards for the rest of the week.

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1888-05-17

IT seems the manager of John Shel-
mans Presidential campaign is now in
Chicago, and in an interview says his
candidate will ego into the convention"
with 300 votes "solid and faithful -
When asked to state where they were
to come from, COnger replied: "From
the South and East, with the West to
recruit in. You need not be surprised, -
he added, ito see among them (the 3O0)
50,votes from Pennsylvania" Colonel
Conger is beautifully indefinite as to
what States Sherman's eastern delegates
will hail from, and is equally discreet
in not mentioning the exact location Of
the western recruiting ground" Harry
Oliver is claimed for both Sherman and
Gresham, but we guess the whole
Pennsylvania delegation will go to Chi
cago in search Of a market. That is
the usual way. ...

A VERY bitter and emphatic senti.
ment is developing in Ireland against
the papal edict on the plan of cam
paign, which involves bOycotting. The
influence of the Catholic clergy and
hierarchy in Ireland has always made
for the preservation of peace and con-
stitutional agitation; but in the present
juncture they may lose their power ov-
er the Irish Catholics, and policy that
was intended as one of repression be-
come an incentive of violence and out
rage. One thing appears certain, and
that is the Irish people will not take
their politics from Italy, even to get the
vatican its coveted British ambassador
A large number of league branches
have appointed meetings to be held
during this week, and it is expected
that by next Sunday the full sentiment
of the Home Rule element with regard
to the pope's action will have been eX-
pressed throughout Ireland, and there
is no question but it will be one of dis
sent and vigorous protest. Pitts Post.
