Yesterdays Tragedy.

vengeance of an aggrieved father. man
was shot to death in this city yesterday to

When is this sort ofthiug going to stopi Is
there 10 longer any confidence in the law ?
What is the use Of the law if those who have
grievances are permitted to shoot to
death those who have injured them
or who they think have in

which must be respected. Laws are made
for the protection of these rights, and it is
tie duty of society to SEQ that the laws are
enforced,
One lynching, or one homicide like that
near Quitman, or the one in this city, leads
to another. II persons are permitted to
avenge their grievances with the shotgun

to avenging the most weighty ones, but
will resort TO deadly weapons to avenge

THE GOULD GOBBLE.
A Santa Fe Bla",s Opinion of How
The kusm0r Started.


The telegraph report that Jay Gould
had obtained controlling interest IL
the Santa Fe road was the principal
topic of conversation among the railroad
men here yesterday. 81 will illustrate
to YOU how absurd the statement is,"
said prominent Santa Fe official to a
HERALD man yesterday afternoon. 1.-The
Santa Fe's stock consists OF 100000
share of 800 each, and these are owned
by IA 900 people. 1t would be absolutely
impossible for one man to get control e
the road. The shares are held all over
the United States and are mostly kept as
investments, there being very few, COM
paratively speaking, on the market
for spt culative purposes. For some
little time past about 1000 shares
a day have been bought up in the New
York stock market. l do not know how
long it has been going on, but admitting
that the period is womonths this means
that about $4,000 shares have been pur-
chased. Supposing that Jay Gould has
bought them all through his agencies,
what good would $4,000 shares do him
out of total of 100000. He would not
have any control at all. Of course at the
next election of directors by the stock
holders the fact of his holding such big
block of stock would entitle him or his
representative to a dictatorship, but what
good would that do him, for
there are thirteen directors. 1
will tell you how the rumor
has started. The Santa Fe ste ok, which
at one time was quoted at l1S, dropped
to 63 about the end of October, and prob
ably Gould has been buying up all he can
lay his hands on at that figure, knowing
that it is good investment. But the
stock he has secured is only what may
be termed the brokers' stock. being what
is on the market for the medium of spec.
ulation. You do not suppose, do you,
that investors who had paid, say par for
their stock, would sell it at a discount of
81 per cent? No, sir they have enough
confidence in the Santa Fe to know that
it will pull out of the fnanci il diff
Guilty it is temporarily in. and they
would hold to their shares. I
will tell you another thing that has pos
sibly induced the rumors, and that is as
regards the Santa Fe's California tele.
graph business. 1t has recently passed
into the hands of the Western Union,
practlcaliy could, out this is only IN the
regular course of events. The Santa Fe
has for years past had contract with
the Western Union by which that COM
pany had the lease of its wires. This
contract did not, however, include the
California wires, which the company put
UP in connection with the new
lines constructed during the past
two years, and which were
operated by the railroad. Now, what
has happened is simply as follows: The
Santa Fe has included all its California
wires in the contract with the others and
they are leased to the Western Union,
for by this means better news-carrying
medium is obtained. l think" said the
speaker in conclusion, "that when in a
few days the rumors regarding Gould
have developed you will find that what
| have said is about the reason for
Them"

Routine Business.
The Board of Fire Commissioners met
yesterday afternoon in regular eession,
at the Mayors Office. Present. Mayor
Workman, Messrs. Teed and Humphreys
and Chief Moriarty.
The minutes OF the last meeting were
read and approved, after which the acci-
dent which occurred to Engine No. 7
was investigated. Mr.. Myers described
the accident, and said that the damage
to the engine would not exceed $50.
The Commissioners ordered that Gray,
the driver, be fined the cost of the re-
pairs, not to exceed $50.
A communication signed L. Litchen-
berger and others was received. 1t
called the attention of the Board to the
fact that an engine and stone-crusher
of Los Angeles and Winston streets, and
announced that protest of the property
owners in the vicinity will be entered at
the next meeting. Action was deferred
until the receipt of the protest.
The matter of the roofing being erected
at the Dime Museum, which was con-
sidered last week, was again brought up,
and the Commissioners instructed Chief
Moriarty to notify Messrs. Doyle &
Isaacs, the proprietors, taat their protest
was denied, and that they must take
down all the woodwork that they have
erected in violation of the city ordinance.

The COldwater Quarries to he
Opened UP.
Superintendent Shaw, of the Los An
geles and Pacific Railroad, says that
work on the new line to Santa Monica is
progressing very satisfactorily. The
tracklayers passed Sunset yesterday
morning, and the whole road will be
finished in about eighteen days. When
asked about the granite quarries near
the line of the road he said: "We run
within three miles Of the Coldwater
Canon, where there is an inexhaustible
supply of the material you speak of. The
property is, 1 understand, bonded, and
shipments to this city will doubtless be
made as soon as our road is in operation.
When called upon, we can OF course con-
struct spur to the scene of labor"
1t is understood that one or two resi-
dents along the line of the road are liable
10 protest against the proposition. They
say that the road has not got a franchise
for freight business and has therefore no
right to enter into it. 1t is expected,
however, that as the line will be an i'm
portant factor in developing and building
up the country it traverses, the opposition
will soon be quashed.

CLARA HUFF.
Locked UP on a Charge of Grand
Larceny.

Locked Up on a Charge of Grand
Larceny.
Clara Huff, girl of IA, whose per-
formances were chronicled in the daily
papers a couple of months ago, was ar
rested yesterday on fresh charge OF
grand larceny. She appears to be a
natural thief and considering her youth
and limited experience and opportunities
she has managed to make considerable
record on the books of the police. She
says that her mother taught her to steal
at an early age. but this is vigorously de-
MED by Mrs. Huff, who declares that it
is an evil tendency in Clara, that she has
tried in vain to eradicate.
About ten weeks ago the detective
force of this city learned of number of
thefts which had taken place at houses
where Clara had been at work as do
mestic. The case was very clearly
proven against her and she was taken in
charge by Mrs. Watson, of the Girls'
Home, without any trial. While at that
institution she managed to steal watch
belonging to one of the other inmates
and then made good her escape out OF
the city. Her description was sent to
San Francisco, where she was soon ap-
pretended by the police and the watch
returned to its owner. Clara was
put in care of the Boys and
Girls Aid Society and remained
at that establishment several weeks. At
last he escaped and returned to Los An
geles. A kind-hearted lady who lives on
Bsaudry-sfreet, near Temple, learning Of
the case, and being given to understand
by the girls parents that she was anxious
to reform and to lead better life, agreed
TO provide for her and give her work to
do. Before she had been at the place
two days small things began to mysteri-
ously disappear, and it was evident that
she was at her old tricks again. Yester-
day morning her employer missed gold
watch valued at about $50. She asked
the girl about it but got no satisfaction.
An officer was sent for and Clara was
taken to the Station. The watch was
found concealed on her person and no
room for doubt as to her guilt remained.
The charge of grand larceny was entered
against her and she will probably be
prosecuted under it, although youth will
probably keep her from being sent to the
penitenliary. All efforts at her reforma-
ton seem to have been fruitless, her con-
duct and very appearance being that of a
professional criminal.
