New ORLEANS, December 16.-A
Picay,ne special from Grenada says:
Passenger train No. 2, of the Illinois
Central, was robbed last night one mile
north Of Duck Hill at 10:15. When the
train stopped at that place two men
boarded the engine and commanded the
engineer to pull out, at the same time
covering him with revolvers. One mile
north they compelled him to stop. The
engineer and fireman were marched to
the express car. One of the robbers
knocked on the door, which was opened
by the messenger. The robbers entered
and took $4,000, all there was in the car j,
from Messenger Hill. The firing OF q
pistol before they entered the car at
tracted the attention OF Conductor Wilk-
inson, who rushed out and was i'm
mediately fred upon. He returned to
the train. Mr.. Charles Hughes, of Jack
son, Tenn, then ran out with Winchester
rife. As he stepped to the ground from
the smoking-car he was fred upon. One
shot struck him in the left arm and an.
other one through his stomach, inficting
fatal wounds. The death Of this young
man is very sad as he was the only sup
port OF widowed mother. Nine shots
were fred afterward by Conductor Wilk-
inson and Travelling Passenger Agent
Rohan, and four or five by the robbers,
but the latter succeeded in making their
escape. The passengers were greatly
alarmed, fearing for the safety of their
valuables and lives. 1t is believed that
fred at them. The place of the robbery
was an open marsh, fifty yards from the
woods. Both robbers ran eastward into
the swamp. a posse is being organized
to join in the chase, and bloodhounds
have been secured to aid in trailing
them

A FEW months ago, under a Chief of
Police whom they were trying to hound
out OF office on false issue, our amiable
and able contemporaries raised great
cry, and made out that this city was at
the mercy of the thugs and toughs who
were represented as fourishing in large
numbers because of the inefficiency Of
the force, if not by reason of aid and
comfort derived from the Chief. Is the
same the case now under the man who
was put in the place of him who was
bounded from office By an unjust and
unmanly course of hypocritical per.
secution?

IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
Another of the Gang of burglars In
Limbo. -.s

Officer Wheaton, at 2 O'Clock this
morning, met two men each carrying
valise, who acted suspiciously. In an.
swer to his questioning they said that
they had arrived by train and were on
the way to the Pico House, where they
would put up. Officer Wheaton ac-
companied them there and when
arrived went to the telephone to
call for the patrol wagon. The
two men Immediately skipped, leaving
their valises. Wheaton caught one OF
them and brought him to the station
house with the plunder. He gave the
name of Tom Clark. He is small man
and apparently old at the business. The
valises contain jewelry and gentlemen's
wearing apparel, an umbrella and hat
The latter has the name of Pitcher
& Gray and it is believed that the goods
belong to those parties. The contents of
the valises are worth several hundred
dollars and officer Wheaton made good
haul and saved valuable property.

MAYoR-ELECT BRYsoN will be inaug-
urated into Office to-day. He assumes
the executive government of this city at
time when it requires clear head, an
honest purpose and a steady nerve to steer
her through the shoals ..and quicksands
of period of peculiar Difficult ties. Great
and important public works will be un-
dertaken and probably carried through
during his administration, and upon
his sagacity and frmness will de-
pend whether those works will
be the best that the city can
have, or whether they will be
defective in material points or complete
failures. The iobbers are in the land,
and it will require strong man at the
helm to defeat their schemes. We be-
lieve that we have strong man in Mayor
Bryson, and we have great faith in his
peculiar qualifications, both from expert.
ence and natural bent, to give US an ad-
ministration at this particular juncture
that will rebound to the interest of the
city and to his own fair fame.

STATE POLITICS.
A Scrs mble For Legislative offices
Some of the Contestants.

some OIL the contestants.
The contest between White and Yell
for the Presidency Of the State Senate
and the Lieutenant nt-Governorship of the
State increases in intensity as the time
for the assembling of the Legislature
draws near. Those who claim to know,
state positively that Yell. will be the
man, while politicians in this city are
nearly as confident for White.
1t has not yet been decided who is to
have the Office of Chief Secretary OF the
Senate, but the San Francisco delegation
concede the appointment to the country.
Thus far there are but two prominent
candidates-George W. Peckham, pro-
prietor of the Watsonville Transcript,
and Edwin Smith, of Sacramento. For
First Assistant Secretary, ]. j. McCar-
thy, of this city, has been selected, and
is certain of the appointment. George
Taylor, Of San Francisco, may be Ser
geant alarms of the Assembly.
There are three candidates for the
Speakership of the House. D. A. Os-
from, OF Sutter county, is said to lead in
the race. His competitors are Robert
Howe, of Santa Rosa, who was defeated
for Mayor of this city in 1880, and T. w.
H. Shannahan, of Shasta.
Ed Leake, of the Dixon Tribune, is a
candidate for Clerk of the House. and it
is said he has every chance of success.
The only prominent candidate for
Journal Clerk of the Assembly is Carl
Spelling. of Santa Rosa.
The Sergeant-at-Arms is position
which several are after, but nothing
definite can be determined until the
caucus meets at the capital.
The term of Harbor Commissioner
John H. Wise expires in January, and
two aspirants, both from Oakland, are
striving for the place.
The first is Charles O. Alexander, who
represents an Oakland district in the
Assembly. He has just been reelected.
Matt Kelly, a Republican Alliance
man, is also in the field and is said to
have good backing.
The prospect is that neither one will
get it, however, as it is understood a
well-known and prominent Republican
Of San Francisco is to receive the place.
The position is worth $3.50 month, but
the appointee will not cut any figure,
politically, until year hence, when the
term of A. G. Paulsell expires. The Re.
publicans will then have control of the
Board, and will have the distribution ol
nearly 100 places along the water front
of this city.-[S. f. Alta.

MONDAY, DECEMBER II, 1885
The Retiring Mayor.

The HERALD has had occasion to say
many good things of Mayor Workman,
who retires to-day, and it has taken
pleasure in saying them. Indeed, we
have always had warm place in our
affections for that gentleman. He has
many traits that commend him to the
esteem of all who know him. He has a
soft and amiable disposition, he is good
neighbor, a kind friend, and an excellent
and exemplary citizen in every respect.
Whilst the executive affairs of Los An
geles have been administered by him
with integrity and the interests of the
city have been carefully guarded, it
would be untrue to say that the retiring
Mayor has not made serious mistakes.
Indeed, he himself admits this. His
great error was TO allow his judgment to
be swayed in matters of Importance by
designing men who used his confiding
nature for partisan ends. 1t is incon-
ceivable that any man could have be-
lieyed that it was possible to carry out a
scheme by which the gamblers could
A&FO pOOA POAhAp w Sciiy Oh
their games by paying a monthly
fine into the city treasury. We concede
that the plan would have been an advan.
tageous one to the city ON revenue
grounds; but as it would have been a
direct violation of State law, there was no
possibility of its succeeding. And yet it
was on this chimerical scheme that Mr.
Workman wrecked his administration as
far as its popularity was concerned. 1t
gave rise to suspicious, antagonisms and
cross purposes, and resulted in demor-
alization in one department which has
not yet entirely disappeared.
Outside of this extraordinary freak,
Mr. Workman has conducted the affairs
OF the mayoralty in perfectly satisfac-
tory manner. 1t would be ungracious
not to say that he retires from Office with
the respect of the people, and it would
be untrue to say that he has committed
no mistakes. If Mr.. Workman were of
harder and more positive nature than he is
he would have made more successful
Mayor.

The officials did good work in the
arrest OF the men who committed the
robberies at and near Sepulveda station
on Saturday night. In less than twenty
four hours the robbers were behind the
bars. Los Angeles is bad place for the
tough element to attempt to ply ite
avocations. They would do better and
enjoy better health by seeking green
fields and pastures new abroad from the
Angelic City.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-12-17

THREE robberies committed on Satur-
day night call attention to the fact that
our police force is utterly inadequate to
the needs Of the city. In the local col.
umns Of the HERALD this morning may
be found a timely special article showing
how much smaller is our force than that
Of other cities Of about the same popula-
ton. 1t must be borne in mind that Los
Angeles is city OF magnificent distances.
The area embraced by the limits of this
municipality is thirty-six square
miles. 1t is as large as are
many counties in the older States.
Half a hundred policemen is not force
enough to guard it. To be sure, two of
the three depredations of Saturday night
were committed outside the city limits
but that does not answer the allegations
as to the insufficient character of our
force as here set forth.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-12-17
looking for Location.

Two gentlemen from the East were in
the city last Saturday looking for loca-
tion to establish tomato cannery. They
were shown over the city by L. T.
Graves, whom they assured that they
had definitely determined on establish
ing a cannery somewhere in Southern
California. They are practical men in
their line, and now own and operate a
cannery in the East. They recognized
the advantages offered by Southern Cali
fornia, because of the fact that matoes
may be grown here nearly the entire
year, while the canning season lasts only
two months in the East.
All the guarantee they required from
the people of the town where they may
locate is that sufficient quantity of toma-
toes be produced to keep their cannery
in operation, for which they would pay a
fair market price. This may be easily
guaranteed here, as tomato vines are
very productive and are paying crop to
raise, where there is q sure market for
their sale. The greater freedom from
frost of the foothills is also an advantage
to this section, as the season for them is
practically the whole year. Many Of the
gardens here are now producing ripe
tomatoes of fine quality.
The gentlemen agreed to return in. q
Jew days and thoroughly investigate the
advantages of this section. They ex-
pressed themselves as we'll pleased with
Monrovia, as to it's location, its railroad
facilities and the adaptability of the soil
and climate to raising tomatoes. It
would be big advantage to Monrovia to
secure this enterprise, and would in no
wise interfere with the fruit cannery
which is likely to be located here.

the Week.
WASHINGTON, December 16.-In the
Senate the Tariff bill still holds right of
way over other measures and will be
considered from day to day Immediately
after the routine morning-hour business.
In the House tomorrow motions on
behalf of committees to pass measures
under suspension of the rules will be in
order, but the pending motion made by
Dunn for the passage of the Nicaraguan
Canal bill will have right of way.
1t is doubtful whether Chairman
Blanchard, Of the River and Harbor
Committee, will make an effort to call up
the bill Of which he is champion
on suspension day, but a strenuous
attempt will be made to secure it's con-
sideration and, if possible, it's passage
during the course of the week. Vigor-
GUS opposition to this measure will be
made by some of the memb bers who be-
lieve the Committee has not sufficient
time to formulate proper bill, and that
the present methods of making appro-
priations for such purposes is wrong. A
substitute for the measure will probably
be offered, appropriating a bulk sum
(larger than the total carried by the
billy, to be expended by the chief en-
gineers under the direction of the Secre.
tary of War upon improvements of q

A SAN FRANCISCO paper of Saturday
last says: clos Angeles is at the mercy
of thieves, highwsymen, safe.crackers,
burglars, hoodlums and the like" 1t is
rare indeed that a warmer note of praise
for Los Angeles than this finds it's way
from the press Of the Bay City. Our peo-
pie would do well to note it, and make
the papers who indulge in the policy feel
their resentment. Itmakes no difference
to these papers that the statements are
utterly false. Anything to beat Los
Angeles" is the keynote.
