A HAPPY TRIO.
The Police mnHfssiOners A
United ON Routine Business.


The Board Of Police Commissioners
met yesterday afternoon with a full COM
plement and Mayor Workman in the
chair. 1t was expected that lively
time would occur over substitution of
new officers for the old ones on the force.
Judge Humphreys on the subject did not
come to the surface and Chief Cuddy
was not called upon to protect his faith
full followers. Serenity was the condition
of affairs, and the worthy Commissioners
disposed of the routine matters which
came before them, in spirit of sweet &C.
cord. No man knows how the wind will
list at next weeks meeting and the ap-
be but the precursor Of give and take, as
the calm precedes the storm.
The, session was opened by the present
alton of a bond by the Los Angeles Con-
struction Company to cover what dam
age might be done by their blasting, and
asked that they be given permit to 60
ahead with their work. A protest was
presented by the property owners on
Orange and Ingraham streets, asking
| that no permit be given, as the work could
be done without the use of explosives.
The Mayor read the ordinance passed at
the last session of the Council, and then
one of the contractors stated his side of
the case. After little discussion the
Board resolved to visit the scene of the
work, and in the meantime the contract
ors be permitted to go on with the
work.
| The case of Calvin & Coburn, asking
for saloon license for bar in the base
ment of the Pavilion was taken up and
Calvin & Coburn were represented by
Judge @. @. Stephens. Petitions were
received pro and con and the Commits
sioners were decidedly in favor of grant
ing the license. They were held back by
Ordinance 377, and while they thought
they had construed it wrongly they
had acted upon such construction with
out loyal advising and were confronted
with dilemma. Eolons no longer, they
agreed to leave the construc-
ton of the perpleNing ordinance
to the legal exemplification OF Col. John
S. Chapman. Without doubt, hereafter
thirsty patrons of the Pavilion may "see
man" between the acts without losing
the uprising OF the curtain because of the
journey to Main or Olive streets in search
of the ever-joyful.
Robert Stadie and brother wants
license for saloon at 125 South Main
street and have been WORKING for it for two
months. They came reinforced by the
Bishops assent. to which Chief
Cuddy was obdurate, and the end was
that the Stadies have another week to
wonder as did Plato if it is "to be or not
to be-"
| 1t was granted that H. Gieschen, of
Alameda street, should run the saloon
there in place of one Garske; that Fl.
Engert, OF First and Vine streets, should
supplant Brown. John Riber's applica-
ton to continue Roller & Engert's busi-
ness was postponed, while Williams
Brothers was allowed to continue the
business of Nicolas Trioste. John
Rowell was denied the privilege
of carrying on the whiskey business at
sol East First street, and action upon
the applications of John Zetler of II San
Pedro street, Martel & Co. of l41 Upper
Main, and D. Rose of 141 South Main,
was postponed for one week.
A petition from the residents of Grand
Avenue was presented protesting against
the avenue being turned intoa race track
for the benefit of few sports. The
Commissioners thought that speeding

amusement, but ordered Chief Cuddy to
ascertain the expression of the residents
between York and Jefferson Streets.
G. S. Cruz sent in a communication
asking that James Methvin and
Santiago Arguello, members of the
force, be suspended for assault upon
him. The trial of said officers on the
charge of Cruz was set for 2 O'Clock
Thursday next. Following this COM
plant came a charge Of Indebtedness
against Arguello, made by VIM. M. Os-
borne, and a charge by A. ]. Ellis, of
107 South Main street, that Arguello was
a bully and had brutally treated Ellis.
The investigation of these various
charges will also take place on Thursday
next, at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. OFT did not appear against
Officer Murphy, and after hear
ing the testimony of Officer
Walsh regarding the matter, the Com
mission dismissed the case against Muir
ply. That officer was present and
thanked the Commission with smile a
mile broad.
i Officer Weatherman was brought up to
the target by Hamlin R. Brown for q
revolver and whistle he owed that gen.
tleman for. He will toot the ivory on
Thursday next by order of the Board.
Il The usual uninteresting reports were
lreceived from Sergeants Harris and
Davis.
