YESTERDAYS RELIGIOUS sERvIcEs-sucCRss OF THE
SPIRITUAL WORK.
Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR
WASHINGTON GROVE August "a. 1885,
Camp hres would have added much to the beauty
aid comfort OF the grove yesterday, but the asso-
citation has legislated that the camp "flres must
not be kindied." Many OF the cottages have had
fiues added 10 the many other conveniences and it
is very pleasant to sit around the genial glow Of
wood fire. While the sun shone 1t was as pleasant
as rare day OF october, but In the evening the
temperature was uncomrortably low and the air
felt quite frosty. AT 9 O'Clock prayer and testi-
ardson, OF McKendree Chapel, addressed
Children weTe out in faii tooe a sSer usas
2oclcck service. Addresses were made by Rev.
Mr.. stil and Mr. weede. At 2:30 p. IN. an impress
tent on Grove avenue. Mrs. Burris presided.
The meeting was largely attended by the daily
bell rang out calling all TO the commemorative
service Of the Lord'S death, burial and resur-
rection. AZ $3.50 p. m, the meeting was
table was spread. About $50 Communicates re-
cetved tn. sacrament. DR.. Lane administered the
sacrament to three sick persons In their tents AT
the assembled Lhrong who came to the young
peoples service. As usual the singing was good.
Eour.een requests for PRAYER were made Rev.
AT the close OF The stirring appeal several sought
religion, kneeling at the altar or prayer.
THIS IS THE CLOSING DAT
of the cnmp-meeting. The evening service will
be the final one. The spiritual work Of the camp
has been wrought well and successfully but the
knowing ones say that the association is finan-
cially embarrassed. The increased rates OF as
sessment upon the cottage-owners was not well
received In many instances, and IL Is said that the
Grove Avenue Hotel manager proposes TO throw
up his lease, claiming that the committee was the
nrst TO break the contract. by allowing other
boarding places on the grounds.
Many visitors came Into camp to-day. Among
them were Rev. DIR. Z owens and wife, OF WASH
ington; Mrs. 8. M. Lyddane and daughters, Mrs.
G. r: Braddock, OF the county: Captain Thomas
Grimth, Walter M0beriy. Mr.. Richard Mackall
and family Miss Lucy Maught arrived to-day
and Is visiting friends on the Circle. Mr.. Edward
Tyler returned TO town last evening. Word has
been received here OF the serious Illness OF the
infant daughter Of Mr.. Lee Dams Lodge, OF Gath
ersturg. Rev. MI. Pate OF Rockville circuit, will

The New Chief Of Police, II. j.
Cuddy.


Yesterday MOI ming the new Chief
Of Police, T. ]. Cuddy, presented his
bond to the City Council for approval
and as soon as that had been done
rendered his resignation as member
of the City Council from the Second
Ward. At noon he was given GER
tifcate of his election as Chief of Po-
lice by City Clerk Teed and was
worn in at the same time. During
the afternoon ex-Chief p. M. Darcy
surrendered the charge of affairs to
the new Chief and last evening
number of Chief Cuddy's friends, ac-
companied by band of music, ap
peared at the police station and play
ed "Welcome to the Chief" fol-
lowed by congratulations from all
sides. Chief Cuddy was taken by
surprise, but mastered his feelings
sufficiently to say:
"Gentlemen and fellow citizens, l
thank you for this kind evidence OF
your appreciation. l don't know of
anything more appropriate on occa-
sions of this kind than the strains OF
sweet music. l promise you that with
your kind cooperation to make this
police force one that will make Los
Angeles the banner city of the State
of California. Once more gentlemen l
thank you."
The band then played "Hail to the
Chief" and "The Wearing of the
Green" after which Chief Cuddy was
left to survey the police force as they
assembled for the evening watch.

DRUNK ON THE TRACK.
A Mexican Fatally Injured While
Asleep.

Asleep.
A serious accident occurred to q
special west-bound freight train on
the Yuma division of the Southern
Pacific Company yesterday morning,
which will probably result in the
death of man. The train was run
ming at a pretty high rate of
speed, when it turned curve in the
road between Frinks and Dos Palms.
AT that instant the engineer was appal
led to see the form OF man lying out
side of the rails, with his head toward
the rapidly approachingengin There
was not time to stop the train, though
the air brakes were brought into use.
The engineer blew the whistle as loud
as he could. but the form never NOV
ed, and the pilot of the engine struck
the man in the head, cutting it open
and throwing his body some distance
from the trick. The train was stopped
and the unconscious form of the man
picked up. Near him lay bottle of
gin, and the odor of the liquor was SO
strong in the mans breath as to prove
conclusively that he was dead
drunk when the engine struck
him. He was identified as track
walker and Mexican, though his
name was not learned. The train
men took him to his home at Das
Palms, and left him there under the
care of a surgeon. His injuries are
serious and it is very likely he will
not recover,

OFF the Track,

TEHACHAPI, CAL, January 23.- Express
No. 20 was ditched two miles south of here
by broken rail. No one was injured. All
trains are delayed eight hours.
The above came by the Associated
Press wires to the HERALD, and, ac-
cording to the officials here, is incor-
rect. The true account as stated by
them is as follows: The train was
passing off the sidetrack near the
Summit switch when the express car
jumped the track from no apparent
reason, as the rails were all right.
The accident delayed No. II, east
bound, three hours and half. at the
expiration of which time the car was
replaced upon the rails and the train
proceeded to San Francisco.

PERISHABLE FREIGHT.

DEATH ON THE RAILS.
A Mexican Fatally Injured While
Asleep on the Track-Other
Important News.

Early yesterday morning the Of
ficials of the California Central and
California Southern Railroad COM
panies in this city, received an order
not to take freight of perishable ma
ture, such as live stock, fruits, ETC.,
for shipment to points east of the
Needles.
The order was signed and issued by
Mr.. H. B. Wilkens, the General Pas
senger and Ticket Agent Of the roads
mentioned, and it went into effect at
once. A HERALD representative en-
deavored to learn the reason for such
an order, and was informed that the
probable cause was for fear
that the road east Of the
Needles would be blockaded by
snow. The officials in this city
could give no positive information as
to the condition of that part of the
line, but said that heavy SHOWS had
fallen and it was very likely that
travel was considerably impeded. II
shippers desire to take the risk of
damage, their freight will be handled,
but not otherwise. Mr.. Williamson
Dunn, the agent at this point, said
that the company was not soliciting
freight and had not done SO for some
time. All freight consigned to them
for transportation is being diverted to
the Southern Pacific Company at
Deming, which company is delivering
it to consignees at the rate of ten car
loads per day.
The effect Of the order at this sea-
son will not be particularly serious, as
it will not probably be enforced for a
period extending beyond five or six
days. Shipments of oranges to the
East have not yet commenced.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-01-24
A Serious Ian d.Slide.

Two serious land-slides occurred on
the Santa Barbara Division near On
tega Point yesterday morning, which
delayed all trains from that place.
The accident is due to the heavy
rains, and it will take several hours
to repair them. In the meantime all
the passengers are transferred around
the cause OF the trouble and carried
to their destinations as usual. A
large force of men were at once sent
out, and it is hoped that by this
writing the track will be cleared.
