The Wolff Case.

In the Wolff trial the day was occu.
pied yesterday in hearing the argument
of the counsel on both sides. District
Attorney Dupuy led off in the morning
session with strong speech, calling at
'tention to the great weight of testimony
which had been adduced to show that
the trip was made to San Juan Blythe
Sea by the defendants with the deliber-
ate intention of killing Wilson, and that
all were guilty alike. During the after.
noon the attorney for the defense talked
to the jury, making an earnest appeal in
behalf OF the accused and bringing out
the point OF Wilson's evil disposition and
his evident wish to get into fight with
Wolff. Mr.. Peyton will conclude the
argument tomorrow morning and the
case will then go to the jury.

Rurninx Rrush.

The brush on the hills to the north
west of the San Fernando street depot
caught fire yesterday afternoon and burnt
fiercely for some time. As there are q
number of residences in that vicinity
some apprehension as to the outcome Of
the blaze was at one time felt, butt went
out without doing anything more serious
than making the atmosphere unpleas-
sntly hot in that locality for several
hours.

A Small Wreck.

Passenger train No. 20, the Pacific
express due in this city at 10 80 O'Clock
last night, was bulletined 12 hours late.
The cause of the delay was small wreck
near Benson. A freight train coming in
this direction on Sunday night ran into a
washout. the engine and several OF the
cars leaving the track. No one was hurt
and beyond the temporary delay OF travel
no serious damage was done.
As an accommodation for northern
travel special train was made up in
this city and left on No. 20's regular time
last night.

The Cleveland Hayerly minstrels made
their temperance at the Grand Opera
House last night after an absence OF
nearly year. The show is greatly i'm
proved in many respects and fully justi.
fed the immense audience which packed
all sections Of the house. There was
nothing top-heavy about the assembly.
The dress circle was as crowded with the
most intelligent people of the city as the
top gallery was with the boys. The
play from beginning to end is
clean and wholesome, but irresistibly
funny. There are many good voices in
the troupe and the selections are good.
With Pete Mack and Frank Cushman on
the ends and the galaxy of stars that fill
up the middle seats the fun ran fast and
furious all the time, excepting when
Rogers, with his mellow baritone, was
singing eff the Waters Could Speak as
they Flow" James Norrie was singing
"Baby's Prayer" or one or other of the
many excellent soloists were rendering
some similar bits of sweet sentiment.
This is varied by Fielding, a really
capital juggler, Howe and Doyle, the
best clog dancers in the country, or the
female personifer, who is among the
very best in his line.
Then there is the company of "Japs."
AS contortionists and tricksters generally
| they cannot be surpassed. The daring
feats of the three Little ALI Rights held
the aueience in breathless suspense for
nearly an hour. The verdict of
the entire assembly as it passed

Must Try AgaiIn.

The we'll borers on the Crocker town
site plateau at San Pedro have aban-
doned their search for artesian water,
after going to depth of 800 feet. They
struck several streams, but not OF the
nature required, as it had an oily appear
ance, giving evidence of the presence of
petroleum. The borers had instructions
to 60 to a depth Of 1000 feet, but as they
struck country rock they knew that it
was useless to sink further. The project
is not abandoned, however, land the plant
will be removed to another favorable
spot near by and another well sunk.

The MONKEYS.

The Pavilion was we'll filed last night
when Salvini's well trained animals gave
their first performance in Los Angeles.
The monkeys gave the audience enough
laughter to last them for a week, and
their actions resembled those of the
human family so much that it was diff
cult to imagine that after all the mimics
were only animals of the lower order.
The Angora goats and dogs did their parts
well and everybody was pleased with
the performance.

The afternoon service on yesterday
was devoted to the subject "The Joy of

the entire congregation.

An Enemy of Fire.

A successful exhibition of the Edison

on Second street, near the cable engine

There was large crowd of interested
spectators present and all we're satisfied
OF the efficiency Of the enemy OF fire.

cesdngs instituted against the Wabash and

that it had been practically decided Ia
abandon all aggressive movements until the
law in the case had been eXpOunded by Judge
Gresham Nothing was done in court Friday
beyond reading the petition of the Burling
ton, which set forth in detail the grounds
upon which the interference of the federal
authority had been invoked When the
reading was concluded application was made
i'm behalf of Receiver McNulta of the
Wabash, for postponement until Monday,
on the ground that it had been found impos-
sible to prepare reply in the brief period
which had interviewed since the filing of the
bill The proposed postponement was re
sisted by counsel for the Burlington, but the
court took the view that the request was II
reasonable one, and the case went over.
The following dispatch was received Friday
afternoon by General Manager Stone from
the general manager of the Burlington ~
Missouri River in Nebraska:
