NON-SUITED.
l.. Kaufman will Recover NJ
Damages for an Arm.

l.. Kaufman will Recover No
Damages for an Arm.
The case of L. Kaufman against j.
Maier ct al, of the Philadelphia Brew
cry, to recover damages for the loss Of
an arm, came up for trial yesterday be-
fore Judge O'Melveny and jury. The
plaintiff alleged that the accident which
caused the loss of his arm was due to
the neglect of the defendants to keep
proper machinery. He had hung a
towel over shaft when it was not in
motion, and the shaft starting he had
attempted to take it off and in some
manner he had become entangled and
his left arm was torn off. After the
plaintiff had introduced all his testimony
tending to show that the accident would
not have happened if the machinery had
been properly constructed, the defend
ants attorneys moved for a non-suit,
which was granted, Judge O'Melveny
holding that plaintiff had MT been hired
by defendants to put the towel on the
shaft nor to take it off, and if he had not
done this the accident would not have
happened. The plaintiff could not be
expected to pay damages caused by the
action of plaintiff. A ten days stay Of
execution was granted.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
What is Going On at the st. Lon
Convention.

What is Going On at the st. Louis
Convention.
The following report has been received
here of the proceedings of the Trans.
continental Association meeting at st.
Louis on Thursday. There was little &C.
complished in passenger matters beyond
the discussion of propositions for the gen.
eral betterment of that department of the
country's railway service. In the freight
department voluminous tariffs were re.
ferred to the Executive Committee for
compilation and correction, after which
they will be presented to the associ-
alton proper, for amendment and
adoption. Mr.. w. H. Newman, vice.
president and general freight manager
of the Missouri Pacific and Chairman oil
the Executive Committee, says that the
revision and compilation of the tariff will
consume not less than four or five days,
and in the meantime the Transconti-
mental meeting will be in state of mac
tivity, although there will be no ad-
journment until the work has been ac-
complished. A committee has been
appointed by the General Passenger
Agents to prepare an agreement, with
be endorsed by the Eastern Associations
before becoming effective. The princi-
pal object is to devise means to prevent
the frequent decentralization of East
bound passenger traffic from the Pacific
Coast as for more economical management
and on the latter proposition it is under
stood that in future on the Pacific coast
an agent will represent all lines instead
of each having an individual agent.
Mr.. G. F. Smurr, of this city, who
with Messrs. J..C. Stubbs and Richard
Gray represents the Southern Pacific, at
the meeting will visit Ohio before re-
turning to his home here.

A resolution was adopted to the effect
that as the expenses incident to the
smallpox had been $2S, 900 for two years,
$16, 900 in 1887, and 1900 ia 1888, and
as large portion of the patients cared
for by the city had been really charges OF
the county, and as the county had paid no
portion of the expense that the Health
Officer be authorized by the Council to
personally present claim for $40. 900 to
the Supervisors as pro rata due the city
from the county. 1t was aleo decided to
recommend that the Health Officer be
instructed to receive no more county
patients unless the county will agree TO
pay for the same or to make a satisiaC-
tory arrangement with the city.
The Health Officer was instructed to
notify D. Kevane to call on the City At
torney and sign a contract for the dis
posal of the dead animals of the city
forthwith.
The Board then adjourned.

BELOW SEA LEVEL.
What Well.BOrerS i'm the Deser
Have to Encounter.


Have to Encounter.
Mr.. Geo. w. Durbrow, of Salton, is in
the city to have his patent hydraulic
well-borer perfected at the Southern
Pacific shops. Mr.. Durbrow has charge
of the well-boring for the S. P. on the
desert, and his experiences in that line
have placed him in possession of valL-
able and interesting information. Speak
ing OF well-boring at Indio, which g
situated twenty feet below the sea level, /,
and is therefore an interesting point of
study for geologists. he said to HERALD
man yesterday: "We went down 756
feet with one we'll and struck a stream of
water that flowed 5000 gallons an hour.
The company was not satisfied with this
though, and while trying to develop it
the inside casing was filled with sand,
and has been left so ever since. We
found large alternate layers of sand and
clay all the way down, with occasionally
a little gravel. At 16 feet we struck coed
surface water and at 100 feet found our
first flow OF artesian water which only
came to within 13 feet of the surface
however. The trouble with well-boring
down there is that after we are down
about 300 feet we encounter heavirg
sand, which at that depth will work it's
way up so or 60 feet. At depth of 800
teet this quicksaud worked up from $50
to 200 feet, and would throw our tools up
as it heaved. Of course we had to get
this out as it came up, and you Can
imagine at what terrible expense we
were operating when / tell you that after
sinking 600 feet we found that we had
taken out enough sand to have put US
to the depth OF 5000 feet if we had had
no opposition. 1 set to work thinking
how to remove this, and the result you
see before you," and Mr.. Durbrow
pointed to an artesian plant on which a
machinist was working. ''Come down
tomorrow morning at 10 O'clock" said
Mr.. Durbrow, "and will show you how
it works, and wish you would issue an
invitation through the columns of your
paper, for all interested in this matter to
be in attendance at the same hour"
(The trial will take place in the Southern
Pacific machine shops at San Fernando
street,.
INDIO INKLINGS.
Speaking of matters about Indio Mr..
Durbrow said that the Southern Pacific
has built new hotel in place of the one
destroyed by an incendiary fire abou,
two months ago. 1t is to be opened Oh
the 1st Of the month and will accommo
date forty guests. A good deal OF the
land about Indio is taken up but not set
tied on, though there will be boom
there if this new trial for artesian waite,
which is to be made very shortly proves
successful. MIR. Durbrow has some land
under cultivation there, in which some
navel orange trees are planted, and he
says that they are doing wonderfully
we'll and are absolutely free from scale

Old Fashioned Political Oratory.

The political oratory of the United
States for the first half of the present
century, if we except the speeches of a
few well known statesmen, had in it lit
tie. anything, to commend it to the
student The addresses were, as rule,
delivered to outdoor assemblies composed
Of men whose education had not been
such as to render them critical as to
either matter or manner. The orator had
full license not only in respect to state
ment OF fact, but in every other particu-
lar, for the art of stenography had not
reached that perfection which enabled
the reporter to catch every word of the
speaker and fasten it forever on the
printed record of the time. To the un-
educated hearer ludicrous but indeli-
cate anecdote, a humorous but coarse ex-
preston, torrent of SANDER or a flight
OF grandiloquent but meaningless rhap-
sody was frequently more satisfactory
than would have been the polished and
witty periods of Wendell Phillips, or the
argumentative discourses of Daniel Web
ster.
We occasionally find now, on the stage
of political action in the west, fossil of
that old time. He has been delivering the
same address for half a century, with
such slight changes in it from year to
year as would reconcile it to the times.
His speech has never appeared in print,
because it contains nothing worthy ofpub-
ication. Indeed, in cold type it would be
recognized at once as an absurdity, and
yet it still finds those who applaud it's
successive repetitions, and insist that it
is the sublimest effort of the human mind.

In q Mexican Market Square.

Passing on through the market place
emerged suddenly from side exit into
the market square. Just in front of me
sat four or five groups surrounding a
bunch of smoking faggots, and as l ap-
preached them a little girl or boy would
step forward and offer for sale strings of
glass beads or baskets of images made BY
Indians from clay. / bought several Of
these images and narrowly escaped being
cheated in the process, for the little rogues
who are playing merchants know when
they have stranger to deal with, and,
although they smile at you, showing their
white, pearly teeth, they will give you
the wrong change if they can.
Just beyond these groups saw other
groups seated about large, square holes,
which had been dug in the ground. At
first l could not understand this, but
after awhile found out that they were
engaged in roasting the century plant.
The holes in the ground were apparently
three feet deep and perhaps four feet
across the top. Inside these holes they
had placed half dozen stalks of the plant
over smoking faggots, and from the
smoldering fire there issued volume of
smoke and the sound Of escaping pulque.
BY and by Mexican strobe up, threw
down three cent piece, and, without
word, one of the agile boys jumped into
the hole, chopped off bit of the wood
and delivered it to the purchaser, who
went away munching on it as though it
was the leg of chicken. The juice Of
the maguey is sweet and intoxicating, and
great many of the Mexican people are,
regret to say, slaves of its power-"R.

A scientific examination of many of the
animals that live near the bottom is not
practicable yet, however, for the reason
that when they are brought to the sur
face they fall to pieces, or nearly So They
are so organized as to Withstand the enor-
nous pressure of the water at great
depths, and when brought up where they
are relieved of this pressure they collapse.
This is especially noticeable in the case Of
fish with soft tissues; they are reduced to
spongy state on coming to the surface.
No satisfactory conclusion has been
reached as to the effect of the darkness of
the ocean depths on the inhabitants of
those spaces. Many deep dwelling Great
ures were brought up that had well de-
veloped eyes, but it is thought that they
were only migratory specimens, since the
older ones wer iall blind. 1t is also found
that great many of them were phosphor-
escent, thus carrying their own light
with them. This might warn off their
natural prey, or, on the contrary, attract
it to them, and the latter is supposed to
be the fact, because the phosphorescent
fish and animals survive, and nature
always adapts her creatures to their sur
roundingS.
The creatures that inhabit the depths
OF the ocean are the reverse Of beautiful.
and they all have teeth and claws and
suckers and what not. designed to rip
and tear and kill. Their domain is the
scene of constant warfare and struggle,
for nature has ordained that they should
live by eating each other.-Philadelph

A Dogs Sense of Guilt.

Tho raid which Larkins' dog made
upon our camp was amusing rather than
annoying. He was very friendly and
Intelligent shepherd dog, probably a collie.
Hardly had we sat down to our first lunch
In camp before he called on us. But as
no was disposed to be too friendly, and to
claim too large share Of the lunch, we
rather gave hun the cold shoulder. He
did not como again; but few evenings
atterward, as we sauntered over to the
house on some trifing errand, the dog
suddenly conceived a bright little project.
He seemed to say to himself. on seeing
US: There come both of them now, lust
as have been hoping they would; now
while they are away l will run quickly
over and know what they have got that a
dog can eat -
My companion saw the dog get up on
our arrival, and go quickly in the direc-
tlon OF our camp, and he said that some
thing IN the ours manner suggested to
him the object of his hurried departure.
He Gale my attention to the fact and we
hastened back. On cautiously nearing
camp the dog was seen amidst the pals
III the shallow water of the creek, investi-
eating them. He had uncovered the but
ter and was about to taste it when we
shouted, and he made quick steps for
home, with very kill sheep" look.
When we again met him at the house
next day he could not look US in the face,
but sneaked off, utterly crestfallen. This
was clear case Of reasoning on the part
OF the dog, and afterward q clear case of
the sense of guilt from wrong doing. The
dog viii probably be man before any
other animal is.-John Burroughs in The
Century
