The Fifteen Club.

One Of the most delightful social events
of the holidays was that of Friday even
ing at Mrs. McConnell's on First street.
For real social pleasure no club of the
city seems to excel the Fifteen Club.
The last meeting was semi-leap-year
party, and after supper the young ladies
heartily relished the fun Of showing the
young men how the "caballero" should
be played. There were present Misses

RANKINs SENTENCED.
Ne WIN 70 20 San Quentin fer Five
Years.

- = - =
Erastus Hankins appeared before
Judge Cheney yesterday morning for
sentence, in accordance with the verdict
Of manslaughter brought in against him
on the preceding evening. The attorneys
for the prisoner asked for an arrest Of
Judgment, on the ground that the infor-
nation charging Hankins with murder
was not in proper form. The motion
vas denied. Then new trial was asked
for. upon the grounds that the Court bad
made rulings contrary to law, and that
the verdict was contrary to the testi-
mony. This motion was also denied.
Ister the attorneys had concluded their
efforts to obtain further respite for
their client, the Judge pronounced
the sentence without preliminary re-
marks. Hankins had feared the worst,
and when the Judge, in a few terse
words, apprised him that he was con-
demned to the penitentiary at San Quen-
tin for FIVE years, look OF relief came
over the prisoners face. Hanklns
father and niece were present when the
sentence was imposed and seemed to
share his emotions. Evidently five
wears sounded to them like a long term,
but it was relief to know that it might
have been worse, and they seemed te
feel thankful that the leniency OF the
court spared the infliction OF the extreme
penalty. -.
The Hankins case having been dis
posed of, the court adjourned until the
7th proximo, after having been in session
since the 3rd of October without inter
mission. In that time sixty-hve crimina
cases were tried, three OF them being to-
murder and three for rape. A conviction
was made in each of the murder cases
as we'll as in all the others of a seriou
nature. After this work the officers o
the court feel that they we'll deserve
weeks rest.
There are nine more murder cases Oh
the calendar which will come up as sooi
as the court reconvenes.

WATER WANTED.

The Farmers south Of the CITY
Would Like 1t.
The farmers south of the city think
they should be allowed to take water
from the river, and say they sadly need
every summer the amount that goes
to waste. Last summer they asked for
water, and they say that it was not
given them and now they ask that some
provision be made to give them water by
next April. They say that it is to the
interest of the city that the country
around should be irrigated and desire
the Council to take some action
in the matter. 1t will be re-
membered that there was proposition
made to the city last spring to build 9
dam in the river to bedrock and save all
the water, but it was decided that the
city could not sell this right to anyone,
and the farmers ask that steps be taken
by the city to do this and sell them the
water.

$1,000.
D. G. Carrington, the man who stabbed
Pat Muller on the last city election day,
was examined yesterday before Justice
Taney. The affray took place at the
corner of Rose and Davis streets, near
polling place, and grew out OF political
discussion. Muller was stabbed in the
abdomen, but the testimony OF his ply
sician, which was given yesterday, went
to show that if he had obeyed instruc-
tions and conducted himself with reason
able prudence he might be alive to-day.
The Coroner's inquest held on the body
of Pat Muller decided that he was killed
by D. G. Darlington in self-defense.
In the examination yesterday the
various witnesses of the affair told the
story substantially the same in each
case, the testimony all going to show
that Muller had made an un-
provoked assault upon Darlington,
and had finally knocked him down
with pair of brass knuckles. The
only question which arose was as to the
exact time when the stab which finally
cost Mullen his life wes administered.
The statement made by Ellen Kennedy
on the witness stand was to the effect
that Darlington used his knife after Null
len had ceased TO strike him. The de-
fendant himself vas so confused under
the rain of terrible blows which were
showered down upon him that he could
not remember very clearly all that took
place. :.
The District Attorney admitted that it
was very far from being case of MUIR
der, and, after some discussion, the
Court announced that Darlington was
held to answer to the charge of man
slaughter on bail of 81 900.

The Ravlila.

As wo who once were lovers in the spring,
But who have seen their dreams fall faint
and die,
And now together to the fire draw nigh,
Net for the warmth of close hearts Whispering;
And looking in each others eyes, they fling
Into the flames dead flowers, old memory,
The looks OF hair, the letters, each sigh,
The soulless symbol of the wedding ring
So we, whose love will die with these last hours
OF fiery sunset come to 1t and cast
Into its embers all dreams overpast,
The hopes stillborn, the cankered passion
flowers,
The broken boughs of Loves own Eden bowers;
Lo, Love is dust and ashes at the last.
Yet when the voice. before the first gray light
Of Loves pale ghost goes wailing round the
room,
Waking faint echoes in that CHASTITY tomb
Which was the shrine of his remembei ed rite,
And gropes among the ashes cold and white;
Shall he not find for all the shuddering gloom,
The golden ring that fire could not consume,
Shining upon the ehearthstone, whole and bright.
And when the dawn of death shall flush the
dark.
And strike the sunset ashes, where no spark
OF thy old glory quickeus, shall not love
Espy and snatch from out those embers cold
The un scathed circlet and the hearts of gold,
And freshly wed us in his home above,

7 AND 9 NORTH SPRING ST.
A REHABILITATION

d lIuUHI IIULHIlUN
Of the year 1888 is now in
good order. 1t has been a
successful year to US, success
full because we made it so
successful because we left no
stone unturned to bring about
the desired result. We do not
boast that the upheaval which
we are constantly making in
mercantile circles will move
the world-nor do we thin k
that even with an Archimedean
lever on given fulcrum that
an effort made in Los Angeles
will be coincident in Australia.
We do not imagine anything
of this kind, but we are ego
tistical enough to believe that
the advantage of buying at
7 AND 9 NORTH SPRING
STREET, is synonymous
with the resources of South
ern California, not fully known
until an actual test takes place
sufficient to warrant our asser.
tion. The cash purchaser with
us is not handicapped by hav.
ing to pay the extra per cent.
levied on a credit customer.
All are treated alike-small
profts-new goods-qualities
guaranteed-and all done on
a CASH basis. We believe
in, and have always advocated
advertising special values when
we have something Of more
than ordinary interest for the
general public, and if we can
get their attention for a few
minutes we usually convince,
after an examination into the
details. Sometimes we have
complete lines of merchandise
of different kinds which we
close out and are satisfied to
get first cost. Wednesday of
every week we set aside as a
SPECIAL SALES DAY and
a BARGAIN DAY, giving the
people living in suburban vii
lagos, country towns and farm
ing districts an equal chance
with the usually more favored
city customer. We aim to
please-our crowded store at
testing the fact. Stocktaking
interests us at this time, and
we know for an assured fact
that a surprise is in store for
all our patrons. Our Christ
mas and Holiday Goods have
disappeared = the magical
prices did the work. Out of
seven hundred (7oo) plush and
leather cases we had but four
