Haines, subjected the witness to a rigid
CROSS examination, which will be con-

SAVANNAH, Ga, November 29-An
attempt by the police to quell a disturb
ance among crowd OF disorderly Negroes
in the western part OF the city to- day
resulted in a riot, during which one
Negro was killed and two policemen and
a white man, who went to their aid,
seriously injured, and several Negroes

THANKSGIVING DAY was more generally
observed in Los Angeles yesterday than
it has usually been. Nearly all the
places of business were SLUT up for at
least a portion of the day, and the whole
community showed disposition to OBJ
serve it as holiday. The churches held
Thanksgiving services, which were
largely attended, and there were few
homes where the regulation turkey did
not appear on the table. Outside
of California no such variety of
edibles could be spread on the
family board at this season of the
year. All the esculents of the kitchen
could be had, supplemented with straw
berries and great variety OF the large
and small fruits. Then again, think OF
the glorious weather! A bright, sunny
day, Just cool enough to give one a brac-
ing sensation and sharp appetite. The
lucky denizens OF this coast were enjoy
ing the balm of genial autumnal atmos-
phere. whilst their less fortunate breth-
rem on the Atlantic coast we're shivering
under wintry blast at the tail end of
storm that has bestrewn the beaches,
from Hatteras to Nova Scotia, with
wrecks. We have, indeed, cause to be
thankful that our lines are cast in pleas
ant places.

Philip M. (saffey.

Philip NJ. Gaffey, nominee for City
Assessor, was Deputy Assessor in San
Francisco for several years, and after
wards was Deputy Clerk Of the Supreme
Court in Los Angeles District during the
year 1886. For the past two years he
has been engaged in the manufacture OF
lime and building stone in this county.
He is a young man who stands excep-
tionally we'll in this community. He
will make careful and conscientious
official, and will fully justify the act OF
every man who votes for him. He is
young, active, experienced and therefore
competent for the duties OF an Office
which requires much activity to
perform. However fit his oppo.
nent may be in other respects, no one
will have the temerity to deny that Mr..
Fischer's great age must prove q serious
drawback to him in this office.

Angeleios, whether old-timers or new.
corners. need not be told of the high
qualifications OF John r. McManis, the
Democratic nominee for City Treasurer.
He is one of the best known men in the
city, and there is no trust his fellowmen
will not repose in him. He is capable in
all respects, and his word is as good as
any mans bond. In his hands the
funds OF the city will be safe beyond the
reach OF any danger. The office requires
great deal of knowledge of the details
OF business. Major McManis has these
qualifications in most pre- eminent de-

Mr.. q. j. GRIFFITH informs us that
parties interested in property on San Pc
dro and other streets, whose interests
would be benefited by the Southern Pa
cific Company taking the right-of-way to
Alameda street across the Briswalter
tract, have raised a large sum by sub
scription in order to meet Mr.. Lunt's
proposition, made in yesterdays
HERALD, by 10 O'Clock this morning. 1t
is believed that the sum required for
the right-of-way by the Briswalter tract
will be all subscribed, and that
the tender will be made to the railroad
company's agent. We would be very
glad to know that this serious controversy
had terminated thus satisfactorily,
There is no doubt that the lower route is
the one which will be the best for the
city. The removal of the rails from San

oughfares in the city.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. ,
Sr. LOUIS, November 20 The details
OF horrible outrage, murder and suicide
come from Nevada, Mo. The outrage
and murder was comm itted about eight
miles south OF Nevada. Yesterday Miss
Wray, accompanied by George Corb, who
taught district school and boarded
with Mrs. Wray, went to the city. Corb
returned last night alone and said that
the girl had been dragged from the
buggy and murdered by two unknown
men. The body was found in a clump
of bushes near the roadside, the young
woman's throat having been cut from
ear to ear. Corb was placed under
guard, and during the night committed
suicide by taking poison, thus escaping
lynching. The coroner's inquest devel-
oped the fact that the girl had been out.
ragged and then murdered.
LATER-No OUTRAGE COMMITTED.
Late this afternoon the coroner's jury
returned verdict. 1t decided that the
girl ha been strangled by Crob, and
that he committed suicide by taking
poison Opinion is very much divided
as to the girls death and the motive ol
the murder, if it was murder. The
mother of the dead girl says
Corb had been visiting her daughter
since last August, but they were moi
engaged. She says the girl was en-.
gagged to another school. teacher named

STORY OF THE STORM.
Ships Crew LOst-No Aid Could
Reach Them.

PHILADELPHA, November 80. Cap
tain Chabot of the French steamship
Panama reports that during the tremen-
dous storm of the 26th inst, about 8
O'Clock at night, the signals of vessel
in distress were seen shooting up from a
dark hulk which was nearly level with the
water. Captain Chabot bore down on the
craft as near as possible, but was unable
to get close enough to rescue the crew.
He could distinctly see men clinging to
the after-housc, waving lights and beg
eing to be taken off. He believes the
vessel to have been full-rigged ship.
She was deeply laden and doubtless
foundered with all on board When he
left them they were waving torches, but
after a few moments all the lights
died out,

The Tribune comneuds the work done
Wednesday by the Democratic Conven-
tion, and then says, in another part of
the paper, in slurring way, that the
trusted leaders OF the party were con-
spicuous by their absence. To the
ordinary reader this reflection would
rather be plimentary than otherwise
to the rank and file OF party which is
intelligent enough to do acceptable work
even in the absence of its leading lights.

Our Republican contemporaries are
rather taken aback at the splendid man
ner in which the Democracy forms ranks
after its defeat on the 9Th of November.
They thought that they would have a
municipal walkover by throwing out
alluring bats to catch the visionary cold
water gudgeons; but they find that whilst
they have been hauling them in with
one line they have repelled large sec-
tion of their own party which will not
stand their Quixotic nonsense. The
fight is rapidly shaping itself into one
between impracticable extremists and
the liberal element of the community.
The walkover business has badly col.
lapsed,

LATEST returns at hand indicate that
the Lower House OF Congress will be
very close, as close as it could be. 1t is
stated in dispatch in the HERALD this
morning at 1852 Republicans to 163 DEM
ocrats. If it is 80 close there will be a
bitter struggle about organizing the
House. Such result as that mentioned
here would make organization very
difficult matter. The Republican pro-
gramme of throwing out score or more
Democratic members would under these
circumstances be impossible. In any case
the assembling and organizing of the
House will be watched with interest.

excellent magnetic and Topographic work
has been done by shore parties. Valu-
able surveys have also been made by the
Mohican in Samoa and the Vandalia at
the Sandwich Islands. The Palos and
Essex, in Corea, deserve special men
ton for useful photographic surveys and
deep-sea soundings. The Pacific is
