CRIME AND ACCIDENT.
Harry Coffee Shoots at His
Divorced Wife.
TWO SHOTS THAT DID NOT HIT.
The East Side Water War Still
Raging A Man With a
Crushed Hand.

An exciting shooting affair occurred
last night in the California Dime Muse
um, on Main street, between First and
Requena. The establishment is owned
by Messrs. Charles A. Doyle and Solo
mon Isaac. Mrs. Kate Coffee, the sister
in-law of Mr.. G. A.. Doyle, has been
living in the city for six months, and has
served as ticket-taker at the museum.
Last evening about O'Clock her former
husband found his way into the tent and
made a deliberate attempt to murder
her. Harry Coffee was formerly real
estate solicitor for Bovee, Toy & Co., in
San Francisco, and is son of Detective
John Coffee, Of that city. He took to
drinking heavily, and his wife finally
secured divorce from him on the
ground Of habitual drunkenness. When
his wife came to Los Angeles he followed
her and it is said on number of occa-
sions he has threatened to kill her.
Last evening Arthur Isaacs and Mrs.
Coffee were inside of the tent, seated
near the partition at the front
end, when Harry Coffee entered.
Arthur was about to go out to the
ticket Office when they saw Coffee
enter and Katie, who suspected some-
thing was about to happen, begged the
young man not to leave her.
"What is the matter?" asked Arthur.
You don't think he will try to shoot you
do you ?"
As he spoke, Coffee came up holding
his hand behind his back. He was quite
drunk, and he glared savagely at the
frightened woman before him. Arthur
stood at one side ready to spring at the
slightest suspicious movement. Sud-
denly the man pulled revolver from
his pocket, and exclaiming 81 have got
you now!" he aimed it at her body, not
three feet away. Before he could pail
the trigger, Arthur Isaacs struck his arm,
and the bullet passed over her shoulder,
the powder slightly burning her face. AS
Arthur reached for the revolver the man
fired again, but second time his aim
was destroyed, and the bullet passed
harmlessly out through the roof of the
tent. Mrs. Coffee had sprung up with q
scream, and as soon as Arthur had
wrested the revolver from the mans
hand, he ran to see ifshe were wounded.
Coffee was about to make his escape,
when Sam Pierce, the special officer OF
the establishment arrested him. The
man was brought to the station and en-
tered on charge of assault to murder.
The woman came to the station in a
very excited state, but as she was unin-
jured, she soon regained her composure
and gave a clear account of the affair, to
which she and the two other actors were
the only witnesses. The revolver was
obtained at later hour by Detective Nc
Carthy, and showed that three cartridges
had been fired from it very recently. It
was the opinion, however, that Coffee
had only fred two shots at his wife.

THE WATER WAR.
The East Side Water Hydrnnt Again
Damaged.

Ihe East Side Water Hydrant Again
Damaged.
The East Side water war is still active,
and fresh hostilities broke out yesterday :,
Some time since the City Council or
dered that sprinkling hydrant, which
had been attached to pipe of the East
Side Water Company on Mission road,
be watched day and night by the police
to prevent anyone from moving it. The
hydrant had been placed there by the
Street Superintendent, acting under the
order from the City Council, for the pur-
pose OF allowing street sprinklers to be
filled. Mr.. Henry Hazard, of the East
Side Water Company, objected to the
hydrant and had it removed, and
it was replaced by the Street Superin-
tendent and policeman placed over it as
a guard. This officer watched one of Mr..
Hazards men break the hydrant down
and then arrested him. Acting under
instructions from the City Council the
Street Superintendent replaced the
hydrant again, and the police were in
structed to prevent any one from break
ing it, and not wait until it was broken.
Matters went on in this way until yes
terday, when the officer was fooled by an
employee of the Water Company, and
permitted him to injure the hydrant SO
that it cannot be used. The officer
thought the man was repairing the
hydrant, when in reality he was fixing
it so that it would not work. The mat
ter will come up for discussion again in
the City Council to-day.

SECOND STREET PARK.
The Programme of Yesterdays
Festivities.


Messrs. Joe Bayer & Go. did not leave
things half done when they made the ar
rangements for the Admission Day enter
tainment at the Second street Park, and
those who visited that place yesterday
went away thoroughly satisfied that they
had had their moneys worth. The sport
commenced at P. NJ. by promenade
concert by Meine's band, and tn en-
dancing was indulged in until o'cloc K,
when there was an intermission for din
ner. When the concourse of spectators
who congregated for the evening fes-
tivities reached the ground they
found them plettily illuminated
in the Venetian style, colored
lamps and Chinese lanters being sus-
pended in the midst of the surrounding
foliage. At half-past six a promenade
concert commenced and this lasted until
s O'Clock when the grand firework dis
play on the lake was announced to take
place. 1t proved to be great success, and
Messrs. Wilson Bros, who arranged it,
are to be congratulated for the good work.
1t consisted OF an anvil salute, rocket as
cents, shells of metoric stars, roman bat
teries, floating swans, floating fountains,
water wheels, floating mines, Niagara
Falls and an ariel harlequinade, and con-
cluded with realistic naval encounter
in which men. of-war torpedoes and mon
itors were introduced with startling
effect. The orchestra then took up its
position in the main hall and struck up
lively dance music to the tune OF which
number of the devotees of Terpscichore
responded and continued the festivities
until past midnight.

The Cricket Match.

The Santa Monicans easily defeated
the Los Angeles Club in the cricket
match played between the two teams at
the ocean city yesterday. The scoring
was not particularly good, the top notch
being made by Mr.. Perry Hoyle, who
scored Is for the Los Angeles boys. In
spite of the fact that the teams played II
side inside of the customary II the
totals of the Los Angeles Club only
reached 81 in the 1st inning and 80 in the
End. The Santa Monicans made 29 in
the 1st inning and 81 in the End for two
wickets. Messrs. Waring and Carter
bowled for Santa Monica and Messrs.
Alfonso, Routh and Robertson for Los
Angeles.

INTERESTING EVENTS.
Notes About the Public
Schools.
ITEMS FROM SANTA CATALINA.
The Baseball Game, and Other
Amusements on the Legal
Holiday.

The long vacation is nearly over; the
schools will open on the first Monday in
October, which is also the first day. The
assignment Of teachers for the coming
year has been completed, and will be
issued in few days.
Owing to the failure OF the city to sup
ply the needed funds in time for work to
be done during the vacation, the schools
open in the same cramped condition, as
regards accommodations, in which they
closed three months ago. In his last re-
port, Superintendent Friesner says:
"There has not been a school-room
added to the department for eighteen
months, and we now have one hundred
and nineteen schools in eighty tsCO rooms.
Serenity three Of them are on half day
time, leaving but forty-siG rooms with all
day schools. Unless something be done
to provide more rooms before the schools
open in the fall OF 1888, every one of the
eighty-two rooms in the city will con-
tain two schools. Seven OF the eighty
two rooms are unfit tor use, as any one
may see by entering them during wet,
cold or warm weather. Fifty school
rooms are absolutely needed in this city
at this writing, saying nothing OF 1000
children, carefully estimated, who are
either attending private schools or are
not in any school,"
There is prospect that the congested
condition of affairs will be considerably
relieved before December. Bids are
asked for the building Of six four.room
buildings. four of which will be complet-
ed before the now year. The superin-
tendent is away on three months vaca-
ton, and his place is filled for the
time by Arthur E. Baker, formerly the
Principal Of the Hellman-street school.
There has been some complaint that
the vacation was too long, six weeks Or
two months is considered sufficient va
cation in other cities, and the parents
here complain that it is an injustice to
their children to keep them out of school
for three months.

A Crushed Hand.

Frank Abbott, bricklayer who has
been at work on reservoir in the east

fell with his hand on the track. One of
the wheels of the car passed over his
hand, crushing it horribly. He was
brought to the police station, where DIR.
Choate found it necessary to amputate
the hand at the wrist.

A GOOD GAME.
A Admission Day Sport at the New
Ball Grounds.

A omission Day Sport at the New
Ball Grounds.
The baseball match between the Tri-
bunes and the Pasadenans at the Pros
pect Park grounds yesterday afternoon
was good one. A large attendance was
present to participate in the sport and it
is evident that the excellent arrange
ments made by the managers of the place
have impressed the public and estab-
lished it's popularity. In the first inning
of the Pasadena nine they managed to
get five runs, for although Swan was
pitching in frst-class style Staxy, who
was catching, could not hold the balls,
fumbling them on many occa-
sions. Woody was therefore put on
behind the bat, and from that time on
the aspect changed, as all that the visit
ors could add to their score was two base
hits and two runs. The Pasadenans
played we'll together, and the work of
their battery was very creditable. Alto
gether the game was good one through.

behind him. A dispute followed which
ended in a fight, in which Randall is said
to have administered a severe beating to
Heaney, and would have annihiiated him

Randall is q cripple and of slight build.

POLITICAL PR0SNosTICs.
a Pretty Equal Division Of Poiisi.
cal FayOrs.

Prophecy is not in these days supposed
TO be very reliable. but the effort to
peer into the future is none the less at.
t~raetive to many people-especially
when the shadows Of future events are
more or less plainly discernible. The
present indications, so far as can be
gathered from the current Of the Nevada
press, are that the combinations being
formed look to . division OF political
fayors pretty equally between the Re-
publicans and Democrats. The outlook
is that the Nevada electoral vote will be
given to Blaine for President. AS an off,
set to this, George w. Cassidy will be
elected TO Congress. Again, Hon. VIM.
Woodburn will be elected to the Su-
preme Bench as the successor to Chief
Justice Leonard. This exhausts the di.
rect issues that are to be decided by the
November election in this State, but the
Federal patronage will take OF a more
pronounced msteriality in our State at.
fairs.
1t will naturally occur that ex.Gov.
ernor Adams will be the leader Of the Ne
vada delegation at the Democratic Ma
tianal Convention which will re.nominats
Presidents Cleveland 10 the high Office
which he now holds. Governor Adams
popularity in the Democratic ranks is 9
sufficient basis upon which TO ground the
above supposition, and the result will be
that he will be entitled, according t.
political usage. to control in large meas
ure the line Of Presidential appointment
in this State during the existence Of thu
present National Democratic Administers
ton. Form and substance will thu
come into view in place Of the somewhat
chaotic political conditions which at pres
| emit obtain.
We are by no means inattentive to tn,
probability that Hon. NJ. d. Foley will
be the Republican opponent to Mr.
Cassidy for Congressional honors, or {
his strength and availability among the Re
publicans as such candidate. But part
| lines are not az strong As formerly. an
| there may be some heavy "cross lifting
among the political leaders of the tw
parties. In that case it is not hard t
predict how things will go.-Carson In
