Going East.

Stephen A. Daft, some six weeks ago
was arrested and entered at the Police
station as an insane man. The prisoner
was neatly clad, and gave every evidence
of refinement. His dementia was mel
ancholia, superinduced by over study of
the sciences.
Chief of Police Cuddy ascertained that
Daft came here from Bridgeport, Conn,
and was well connected there. He tele-
graphed Daft's people, and received word
that relative would be sent here to take
the unfortunate home as soon as the
Chief thought it safe to allow him to de-
part. On this showing Daft was confined
in the County Jail. About ten days ago
Chief Cuddy wired his relatives that it
would be safe for him to be taken home.
Last night Daft's sister arrived from
Bridgeport for her brother. The lady who
seems confident Of her ability to control
her relative, will start East with him to-
day.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
A RuMa way-A Plate Glass Win
dow Broken.


A Runaway-A Plate Glass Win
dow Broken.
Yesterday morning Mr.. E. F. Ryan
hitched his horse and light business
wagon at the corner of Fifth and Los
Angeles streets. Something frightened
the animal, and breaking loose from it's
moorings it dashed off up Fifth street to
Main. The horse turned from Fifth into
Main street and flew along that thorough
fare to Second street, and up Second into
Spring street. At the corner Of Fifth
and Spring streets pedestrian tried to
stop the animal. Wheeling suddenly it
overturned the wagon and made off
up Spring street again, finally being
brought to a halt just as an enforced en-
trance into Gaze seemed probable. The
buggy was completely wrecked and the
horse somewhat bruised.
Contractor D. f. Donegan was driving
his fine horse directly ahead of Ryan's
runaway animal on Spring street. Mr..
Donegan pulled about suddenly and up
set his buggy on street railway track.
His horse becoming entangled in the
harness commenced to kick and coming
in contact with the overturned buggy Sc
verely cut itself about the hind feet. A
boy, in his endeavor to get out Of the
way OF Ryan's horse, when it tried to
enter the Cafe, fell through plate-glass
window in j. Neufeld's store, next door
to the Cafe. The youngster escaped with
a sfew bruises, Mr.. Neufeld generously
forgiving him for the damage done to his
show window.

w. R. C. ANNIVERSARY.
A Pleasant Day spent at Lincoln
Park

A Fleasant Day spent at Lincoln
Park.
The first anniversary of the John F.
Godfrey w. R. c., of Pasadena, was cele-
brated at Lincoln Park yesterday, many
members of the G.. A. r. and Sons of
Veterans participating. After an inviting
lunch had been served, the afternoon
was devoted to games and other amuse-
ments. Mrs. Mary B. Templeton, Past
Department instituting and installing
officer, who organized the corps, being
present, was called upon for an address,
and spoke as follows
Ladies of John F. Godfrey Woman's
Relief Corps, No. 90, Friends and Co
workers: 1t gives me pleasure to be with
you to-day, for see before me the rapid
progress Of the work begun one year ago.
l know, ladies, that you feel proud of the
work you have been able to accomplish
during the past year, and feel proud as
well to think was to certain extent
instrumental in starting the work that has
been carried on SO nobiy and successfully.
think that every member should take a
personal pride in what has been accom-
plised towards establishing the. John +.
Godfrey w. R. G. on the basis it now
stands, and that the officers, both past
and present cannot feel too much pride
in what, with the assistance of the mem
bers Of the Corps, they have
been enabled to accomplish. None
but the charter members know
of the peculiar difficulties under which
this corps was instituted; but those who
labored under those same difficulties
must feel amply repaid to-day by seeing
the corps in so fourishing condition.
hope indeed on your next anniversary
we may be enabled to meet again to-
gether in some kind of celebration, and
find all present who are here to-day, be.
side many additional members to testify
to your growth and usefulness. l am
sure I echo the wishes Of all present when
wish you many happy anniversaries
to come, great usefulness in your career
and ample reward for labor in holy
cause. have brought this picture OF
General Grant to present to you to-day
as memento of my high regard for you.
You cannot but deem it an honor to hang
on your walls the portrait of so worthy a
representative Of the cause for which We
| labor-one whose memory is endeared to
| the heart Of every loyal person, regard
less of sex or color, Let our aims, like
his, be noble and lofty, and we need not
fear adverse criticism or the final result
of our labors.
| At the conclusion she presented the
Corps with finely framed picture OF
Gen. U. s. Grant. Mrs. Catherine Meek
of John I. Godfrey Corps responded in a
feeling manner.
Mrs. J.. E. Cameron, President Of
Frank Bartlett Corps No. presented the
corps with an elegantly worked white
satin bible mark.
The picnicers left the Grove at s
O'Clock, all feeling that the day had been
proftably as we'll as pleasantly spent.

Real Estate NIen Misrepresenting z
the Situation.
Teere was rumor in town yesterday
that General Negley, one of the Soldiers
Home Commissioners had returned home
from New York and was at the Hotel
Arcadia Santa Monica, so HERALD re-
porter was at once dispatched to that
place. The gentleman in question had
not been heard of however at the hotel
and the scribe went in search of Col.
Treichel, Governor of Santa Monica
Home, and luckily, found him just as he
was departing for his headquarters at
Negley Villa.
''I have not heard from General
Negley for some time," said the Colonel,
"and do not know that he has any inten-
ton Of returning here at present. l am
glad that you have come down, though
as there is matter relating to the Home
that should like to have published. Ger
tain real estate men in Los Angeles are
distributing circulars in the East, in
which they state that two barracks
capable of accommodating a hundred
men each are completed. AS a
result of this, veterans are pour
ing in on us daily and we have no
where to put them. The barracks
referred to will not be finished before the
25th of December, according to contract,
and until they are ready we do not want
to have host of men sent in, for those
who have arrived have erected a tempo
rary frame building. capable Of accom-
modating twenty-five persons, but this is
already crowded. Some of the arrivals
are decerpit, old men, and we cannot, Of
course, turn them away, but it is scandal
GUS to bring them here under such false
pretenses, for in most cases they have been
comfortable in their old quarters and we
are compelled to crowd them into the
place we have erected. Everything is
going on fairly well as regards the busi-
ness before us. Tomorrow the bids for
the water supply are to be opened and
we will then make all arrangements for
the storage and handling of the preci-
GUS fluid The 500, 900 to provide for
the waterworks was, as you know thrown
out in the Senate, but there is no doubt
but that it will eventually
pass Congress. think that al
our financial matters will prove
satisfactory and when we have completed

OF nominating a full County Ticket for

business as may be found necessary for
the carrying on of the campaign. Col
John SobieskE, the temperance lecturer
from the East, is expected to be here at
that time, as will also be Rev. DR.. w. r.
Goodwin, Of Illinois. In the evening
there will be Prohibition rally and

the platform at the Court House by Col.
Sobieski and DR.. Goodwin.

the Home we will have a haven where
$500 veterans may pass their declinina
days in peace. Any old soldier residing
west OF the Rockies will be passed to the
Home free of charge; those living be-
yond the divide may come if they desire
to but will have to pay their own travel
ing expenses"
The scribe also interviewed Colonel
Brown, Inspector General of the Home,
who has been busy during the past week
in inspecting the proposed water ar
rangements. A sunken dam is to be
constructed in the cafion above the
Home, and other arrangements made tc
ensure their always being bounteous
supply of the much-needed fluid.

Mr.. Hervey Lindley, who visited Whit
tier day or two ago, reports that Gil
will be pumped from the new well
shortly, and that the indications are that
the product Of the we'll will be enormous.
The fruit cannery at that enterprising
town is in successful operation, and the
business prospects for the coming season
are exceedingly encouraging. He brought
back specimens Of potatoes and oats,
raised without irrigation, which would
attract attention in any exhibit.

this permanent way, as distinguished
from the temporary track Of rails and
cross ties used 10y contractors in building
the lines. But experience soon showed
that the temporary track, if supported 10y

drained and was always elastic, and re
NAMED in much better order than the
more expensive so called permanent

of our rolling stock began to take place,
dating from about 1870, iron rails were
found TO he wearing out very fast.
Some railway men declared that the
railway system had reached its full de
velopment But in this world the supply
generally equals the demand When a
thing is very much wanted, it is sure to
come. sooner or later. The process Of
making steel invented by, and named
after Henry Bessemer, of England, and
perfected by A. l.. Holley, of this coun-
try, gave us steel rail which at the pres
ent time costs less than one of iron, and
has a life of five or six times as long

We are now approaching very near the
limit of what the rail will carry, while
the Joints are becoming less able to do

Evil Spirits-Propitlating the Ghosts.
The dread Of ghosts is common to all
the aboriginal races of India, from whom
it has been very generally adopted by
their Aryan cOnQuerors. and even by the
lower classes of Mahometans All ghosts
are bclieycd TO be mischicvous. and some
of them bitterly malicious. and the only
means employed TO oppose their rancor is
to build shrncs for them, and to make
them offerings Of fowl a pig, or, on
grand occasions, Of buffalo Any severe
illness and more especially any epidemic

utcd TO the malignancy Of certain of these
spirits who must be propitiated accord
ingly The man tiger is. perhaps, the
most dreaded Of all these demon ghosts;
for when a tiger has killed p. man, the
tiger is considered safe from harm. as -he
spirit Of the man rides upon his head, and
guides him clear OF danger Accordingly,
it is believed that "thc only sure mode of
destroying n tiger who has killed many
peopl, is to begin by making offerings to
the spirits Of his victims. thereby depriv-
ing him If their valuable services.
The ghost most propiiiated are Of those
who have met a violent or Untimely death,
whether by design or by accident, includ-
ing ri IN and disease. Even women who
die in me child bed pang or wrctches who
are hanged for their crimes are believed
TO have the same power, Of causing OWL

any other violent cause. All these dcilied
spirits are often distinguished by some

BALES REPORTED TO SECRETARY.
COTTON RRPORr
Tobacco Market.
RICHMOND. VA, June

RICHMOND, VA, June 9.
To-day ends another week, which has
been fairly satisfactory to the trade; even
those who nave done comparatively little
themselves are glad 10 see more business
in the hands of others The dark tobact 0
men are sampling quite freely, tobaccos
suitable for Austria and France; the
former contract is neither 50 limited In
quantity or price, but is very careful Of
quality; there will be no difficulty about
the French sorts, while the 1887 crop is
well adapted to the Austrian order, and
the finer grades Of leaf now command
from 10c to Ale. The Italian buyer is
said 10 be buying largely on back con-
tract account in the West, and there is
some talk of his coming this way soon.
Our sellers will welcome him or his
agent
Manufacturers are still buying freely Of
sun cured grades at full prices from II to
30 cents and over, and breaks are COM
parallyely light.
There are several good bright wrapper
orders on the market for Western and
Northwestern and over fifty packages
have been sold this week at good values
from % to AZ cents The finer grades are
in best demand, with an apparently linn
tied present Offering, and as reported few
to come in. Filters show some improve
ment this week, but offerings are too
large for any activity; and so it is with
smokers.
Black wrappers are scarce and wanted
if fine Burleys sold more freely this
than last week, and good stock is hard to
get here, while offerings are only mod
crate. Manufacturers are working more
freely on this clasa, though still com.
planning Of dull sales of plug. Crop re-
ports are various and conflicting, but we
sum up dry weather prevailing, with cool
winds, retards the growth Of
plants, and prevents heavy planting.
In scme sections one-half, in others three
fourths planted, is reported, and the
quantity Of new tobacco in planters
hands is from 70 per cent TO nothing,
while two years back Old and double
crops were quite frequently only half
sold out in August The stock seems
about all in market where it counts.
Western markets are all strong, and crop
reports are getting worse on account Of
dry weather. Plants are very backward.
