THE Council will have its hands full OF
business to-day and very important
matters will come up. First in order is
the lighting OF the city, the question be-
ing on renewing or not renewing the
contract with sthe Electric Light Com
pany, which is on the point of expiring,
or of making contract with the Gas
Company. The people of Los Angeles
hope that whatever the action of the
Council may be they will make pro-
visions to abolish Corporation moon
light, i. e., that darkness worse than
Cimmerian, which often prevails in this
city when we are supposed to be rejoicirg g
in "the chaste beams of the watery
moon," taking Luna's gentle light for
granted on the strength of the almanac.
Our people have had to suffer great
deal on this head and their patience is
about exhausted. There has been
a good deal of very inefficient service
on the part of the Electric Light
Company, and although we have heard
no general complaint about lighting of
the city by electricity, we have heard
many and strong growls on this score.
If the contract is renewed the people

important matter, which will also be
considered, is the application of the
Southern Pacific Railway for franchise
to cross certain streets which will give it
access to its new depot, and which, if
granted, will result in the removal Of its
tracks from San Pedro street. The
representatives of the Los Angeles and
Salt Lake Railway will also be on hand
with their proposition to make levee
on the east side of the river in return for
certain concessions by the city, embody-
ing a conveyance to the Salt Lake

GENERAL CROOKS DILEMMA.

Than street Arabs.

CHICAGO, November 25. - General
Crook was induced by the directors of
the Waif Sunday School to address
10000 Chicago street urchins at their
Thanksgiving dinner this afternoon. The
subject of his address was to be his ex-
periences with the Indians. The result
was amusing to all but the noted Indian
fighter. Almost before he knew it, the
General had bad case of stage fright,
the little street savages receiving him
with such paralyzing yels and other like
manifestations of deviltry extraordinary
that the subduer of the redskins lost his
voice completely and was obliged to re-
though he had just come back from a
six.days' fight with Geronimo. Never
theless. the dinner was the greatest sue
cess OF the kind that ever took place in
Chicago.

the com bine by which the deadliest blow
is aimed at our cattle interests. Two
Congressional Committees have been OF
great service in educating the country on
these heads. The first was the Commit.
tee of the House, which sat at New York
during portion of the summer and fall
and collected appalling statistics Of the
cold-blooded way in which the American
laboror is being undermined by heartlest
spectators in human flesh and blood
The fact was developed that precisely
the system adopted by the Chinese Six
Companies in San Francisco in the i'm
portation Of Coolies was under way al
Castle Gardens. the only difference being
that in many cases the Hungarians anc
Poles who were brought there
under contract have reduced the
wages in many branches of in

which prevailed three or four years ago

remain the asylum of the oppressed O
all nations, but a system of peonagt
like that described by the Committee
ought to be sternly repressed by law
made for the protection of American
labor. The Senate Committee which i.
now investigating the cattle question hal
also been of sterling benefit to thu
public. The picture of the ravages 0

effect upon both the cattlemen and tn,

draw in its report, will doubtless dt
much to or, stallize the indignation O
the country into an effectual crusad,

have more effect than Mr.. Cleveland'
arraignment of this great and CROWN,

OF the colossal and menacing wrong.

A STARTLING STORY.
A Dead Man That Ate Bread and
Drank Wine.

An elderly gentleman residing in the
Rue Rochechort, Paris who was sup
posed to be dead. has suddenly come tc
life. He has nephew in Paris, who
being duly informed of his demise on
on Sunday, repaired at once to the house
with his wife to keep watch over the
mortal remains Of his uncle until thew
| should be borne to their last resting
place. On Monday evening, as the lady
wrs tired, her husband sent her to the
drawing-room to take some repose on
sofa; and servant having placed
some wine and broth on a table. he
threw himself into an armchair in the
bedroom and soon went soundly to sleep.
On awakening at O'Clock in the morn
ing he found that the broth had disan.
| peared and the bottle of wine was half
empty: Becoming alarmed, he went to
his wife in the drawing-room, reused her
and told her what had happened. She
returned to the bedroom with him, but
the pair had hardly reached the door
when they heard noise. They paused
On the threshold, and, to their consterna-
tlon, voice bade them not to be afraid,
but to come in. The husband entered
the room, but soon rushed cut with his
hair standing on end. He had seen his
uncle's ghost.
The old man was sitting, enveloped in
sheet, on the side of his bed. The
supposed corpse had the utmost difficulty
in getting his panic-stricken relatives to
understand that he was not dead after
all. 81 am alive" he repeated, adding
that the preparations for his funeral had
not escaped his notice. He had been in
.lethargy, and, waking up, had helped
himself to the broth, which had done
him good. Hearing some one ap.
preaching he had jumped into
bed, as he was anxious not
to cause any alarm, but Richard
was himself again. He felt perfectly re-
covered, and certainly ON closer exami.

The news Of the assignment made by e. H.
Steele, which was received by Saturdays mail,
created decided sensation in this community
where he Is personality ell known. To the many
ttcame like a thunder clap from clear sky, be-
cause 1t was generally believed that he was
immensely wealthy and making money rapidly.
Mr.. Steele was one of the founders of Hope,
and it was mainly through his instrumentality
that this county, which was named In bis
honor, was created. He at one time owned q
great deal Of land around Hope, but at present
we believe no very great amount remains in
his hands, 1t having been sold or traded of.
Mrs. H. D. Carpenter, who died about two
years ago In Hope, was sister Of Mr.. Steele's,
Of whom he thought great deal and had
aided to considerable extent
No one seems to have definite idea of the
condition Of Mr.. Steele's business, or what the
assets or liabilities will amount to. The Min.
neapolis Evening Journal, In It's account of the
assignment, quotes Mr.. Steele as saying:
IA man never Knows what the world is un-
til he finds himself in my position. As soon
as had disposed OF my stock in the Big Bos-
ton, my Eastern creditors became scared,
thought was going to make an assignment,
and 80 began crowdiug me. I offered them
mortgages, real estate, everything had, but
they wanted money. Real estate is something
that man cannot turn over In minute, aud
so could not raise the money. haven't
stolen anything, and haven't left the city,
and propose to stay right here until my cred.
itors are squared off; after that do not know
what will do. My assets will, II properly
handled, pay every dollar Of my liabilities and
leave nice little balance to my credit.
II sold the stock and fixtures In the store fol
about $4,000, to Whitten l. Burdett who
will continue the business. For the past two
years they have been looking for an opportu-
nifty to establish branch store In this city, and
are very happy to get hold Of an established
business. As for me, I have been wanting to
dispose of my business here for tie past two
years. My health is very poor aud I found
that the business was too much Of strain
