How The Egyptians Cool Water.
Carter H4rrison's Luxor Letter.

carter nArrlsous buA1h hctsci-
need state only three facts to show
the rapidity of evaporation in Upper
Egypt. Water too warm to drink is put
into porous jar and placed in the wind,
though in the sun; 10 half hour it is as
cool as good spring water. At night, ex-
posed to breeze. even when the breeze
is rather warm, before morning it be-
comes almost ice-cold. The night of my
arrival here took a pouring bath, on a
balcony. The wind was balmy but fresh.
The rapid evaporation so chilled me that
| could not stay out long enough for my
oath. At the foot of the cateract we
took a swim in the Nile. We wore our
underclothes for bsthing-suits. We hung
them up before our staterooms to dry.
La ten minutes they were dry enough to
be worn. We have all heard of the uni.
versal habit of all Africans to anoint
themselves with oil, aad travellers speak
OF it as a nasty habit. IT is, however.
necessary in very hot and very drv cli-
mates 60 prevent the cracking of the skin.
An English officer told me that during
the hot winds on the Upper Nile his
hands and face chapped worse than they
ever did in cold climate-chapped even
to bleeding badly. | have found fresh.
white butter quite as pleasant on my
hands as on my toast. The boys have
felt no inconvenience from the winds.
My hands are very sensitive to the effect
of dry, dusty, atmosphere. At As.
souan we were in the sun during two
days. We did not use our umbrellas,
our pith hats being quite comfortable,
and yet we were just on the edge of the
tropics. $3.50

A Glass Detective.

An Italian boy named Paul Battag-
liza, who has been employed as eleva-
tor boy in the Maverick bank build
ing, was caught in the act of stealing
S14 from the cash till of the safe of
the paymaster of the Arkansas
Pass railway yesterday after
noon. He broke a pane of glass in
trying to escape and the noise made
attracted the clerks in the next room
and he was caught, bleeding from a
cut made by the glass. He was
placed in the county Jail under bond
of $500. Since his arrest he has owned
up to the theft and also says he was
the one who some time ago stole $50
in the same way. He offers to refund
the money if he is not prosecuted.

Inquest OH Mccarthy.

An inquest was held yesterday morn
ing on the body of the man who was
burned to death in the fire on Alameda
street Monday night. John Zetler, the
keeper of the restaurant saloon which
was burned, number $50 Alameda street,
said the last time he saw the dead man
he was asleep on beer barrel in front OF
the saloon. This was the second time
within a week that his place had caught
fire. John Ryan, the keeper of the
lodging house, said that he saw the bar
keeper from next door go into the room
of his house in which the fire was start
ed. Samuel Casey was lying in the room
next to the one in which the fire started,
but heard no one there. The man who
was burned occupied the room opposite.
The jury brought in verdict that Pat
rick Mccarthy, single, aged so, had been
burned to death in fire at No. 95S Ala
media street. Nothing new was develop
ed concerning the cause of the fire.

The Patrol Wagon.

An important addition was made
to the apparatus Of the police force yes
terday in the shape OF patrol wagon.
This was ordered sometime since, and
has only just been completed. 1t is a
neat and not gaudy affair, something
after the style of combination express
wagon and ambulance. The entire force
put in their spare time when off duty ad-
miring it. Various criticisms were passed
upon it by the disinterested spectators.
For rapid travelling ever rough streets it
is certainly built rather high up from the
ground. When it turns a sharp curve at
high rate of speed, it is likely to turn
over on its side. 1t appears also that it is
too heavy for one horse to pull up the
hills which it may be compelled to climb.
A trial trip was made yesterday afternoon
up Second street afternoon after drunk
en- man, who was said to be lying on the
car track. The wagon had only four &C.
cupants, yet it was evidently all the
horse could do to get it to Hill street.
The patrol wagon was invented in Chi
cago about fifteen years ago, and was
adopted in Paris and London because OF
the success with which it had met in that
city. New York was one of the last great
cities in America to adopt it. 1t is now
considered quite Indispensable.

e. w. Little Charged With Tearing

1t appears that the Monrovia water
troubles are likely to cause some difficult
ties which will have to be settled in
court. 1t will be remembered that few
days since the Santa Ana Water Com
pany, which supplies Monrovia with wa
ter, obtained an Injunction against the
Deer Park Development Company.
which, it was alleged, had appropriated
fifty inches of the Saw Pit caiion stream
to the injury of the plaintiff Yesterday
warrant was sworn out before Justice
King by the agent of the Deer Park De-
velopment Company, charging E. W..
Little with "maliciously injuring real
property rot his own," to-wit: That on
the 9Th of August he did then and there
willfully, unlawfully and maliciouslv
tear up, break and injure an iron pipe
which was imbeded in the ground. and
which was not his own, by digging into
said ground which was not his own, but
which was the real property of the Deer
Park Development Company, which is a
corporation created and existing under
the laws OF this State, and did then and
thereby injure said ground and pipe.
Said tearing up and injury to said ground
and pipe was done, as aforesaid, about
1,oOO feet from the mouth of Sycamore
Canon.

THE GAINES CASE
still Occupying the Attention OF
Judge Cheney,s Court.

Judge Cheney,s Court.
The trial of Thoma E. Gaines for
burglary continued through the day yes
terday in Judge Cheney's Court. Detec-
tive Marsh told in the morning session
how he had been employed by Chief
Cuddy to get on good terms with the
burglars who were looting the town and
draw them into trap. Gaines was
suspected to be one of gang who had
cracked bank over in East Los Angeles.
He had learned of the plan to enter
Lambourne and Turner's store and had
persuaded them to let him into the affair
He and Officer Donahue, who was also
placed upon the stand, told the story Of
the arrest about as it was told by the
officers who had preceded them.
A number of former residents of Paris,
Canada, testified that they knew Gaines
in that city and that his reputation there
was without stain. He was Chief Of
Police at Paris.
In the afternoon Elton, who figured so
largely in the Lucas trial, took the stand
and testified that Marsh and WINNER
told him that they had put up job on
Gaines; that Lucas was in the scheme,
add he wanted to beat Gaines out OF the
$500 which he had put into the detective
agency.
Gaines then took the stand and told his
story of how he had been drawn into the
scheme for the purpose of catching
Webb. The case will probably 60 to the
jury to-day.

Another Suit Between the Rival
Companies.
The Azusa Land and Water COMPANY
commenced suit in the Superior Court
yesterday against the Azusa Water De-

settle the ownership to land in the east
half OF the west half of the northwest
quarter Of section 90, township 1 north,

A second suit was commenced by the
Azusa Land and Water Company and
the Azusa Agricultural Water COMPANY
against the Azusa Water Development
and Irrigation Company to enjoin the de-
tendant from taking water from the San
Gabriel river, which the plaintiffs allege
belongs to them. The complaint sets
forth that that the plaintiffs are the own
ers OF land entitled to some of the water
flowing in the San Gabriel river, but thew
allege that the defendant has appropri.
ated the water. The Injunction is asked
to restrain the defendants from depriy.

FOR THE BRIDGES.
The California Central Railroad
Company Gives S25, 900.


On Monday at the meeting of the
CITY Council, Captain Barrett stated
that the California Central Railroad Co.
had agreed to give $4,000 toward the
construction of the Downey avenue and
First street bridges. Following is the
letter from Mr.. McCool to Captain Bar
rett in relation to the matter:
DEAR SIR-As you are aware, informal
negotiations have been carried on be-
tween the Bridge Committee of the
Common Council of Los Angeles and the
California Central Railway concerning
the erection of viaduct bridges over the
tracks Of our company at Downey avenue
and First street, in this city. l had
understood from the Bridge Committee
some time ago, that new bridge at
Downey avenue was an absolute neces-
sity, and the construction OF the same
would be recommended at very early
day, while the bridge at First street was
q matter which was not pressing. This
company is much interested in viaduct
at First street, because if a viaduct is
erected over our tracks at that point it
will necessitate an entirely new arrange
ment of our terminal facilities for pas
senger and freight business at Los Ange-
les, but the bridge at Downey avenue is
of no more importance to us than
any of the other bridges between
Downey avenue and First street.
We are willing, however, to consider
viaducts at these two points, if taken to-
gether, and l am authorized on the part
OF our company to agree to contribute
the sum of $25 900 to aid in the erection
of viaducts over our tracks at Downey
avenue and First street, provided the
city will agree on its part to construct
both of these viaducts at the sar,e time
as nearly as may be, and provided, fur
ther, that the plans and specifications
that may be adopted by your Board fol
these two viaducts, and the contractor
bids for building the same, are submitted
to representative of our company fol-
approval before the work is finally let
and provided, further. that Downey ave
nue. be discontinued as a street at it,
present grade from the west line of ou
right Of way to the west bank of the Lo.
Angeles river, and that First street bs
discontinued as a street at its presen
grade from the point where the west lin,
of our right of way intersects the nortl
line of First street to the west bank of tn,
river. l will be glad to be advised b,
you promptly whether or not this propo
sition meets with the approval and ac
ceptance of your Board. Yours truly,
D. MCCooL,
General Manager.
