A CHASTITY AFFAIR.
The Raymond Reservoir Com.

The Raymond Reservoir Com
pletely Exhausted.
The scarcity Of coal has been the
cause Of many unpleasant incidents
and has sorely affected the hostelries
whose bunkers were not we'll stocked
when the trouble commenced. The
Raymond, at Pasadena, has been un-
usually unfortunate, as the demands
on her light and fuel resources are
very heavy, and have in consequence
induced a state of things which, but
for skillful manage ment, would have
resulted in famine. Strict economy
has been observed ever since the
blockade drst promised to be serious,
but in spite Of all precautions
it has proved impossible to
cope with the difficulty, and on
Monday night the gas was completely
exhausted. Candles were at once
called into requisition, and by their
mellow light, dinner was served and
the demands OF the evening and night
supplied. The same state OF things
prevailed yesterday, but this morn.
ing will see the end of the Difficult y,
as car of coal is expected, the
pioneer of many others en- route ,sand
the gas pipes will be once more filled
with the asphyxiating but luminous
and the festive candle
banished once more into the obscurity
from which it was so suddenly and
unexpectedly called.

Officer Van Luven arrested the doc.

and deposited $40 for his appearance
before Judge Austin this morning.
| Len Harris, the railroad detective
for the Southern Pacific Co., has
brought John O'Brien to the county
jail from Newhall, where he was tried
on charge Of grand larceny and held
to answer. O'Brien broke into a car
and stole quantity Of boots, shoes
and other articles.
James Denman, Dick Miller and X
Fl. Whittier, the three youths who
were arrested on Monday for stealing
clothes from the University, had
their examination for burglary set for
January 18th at 10 A. NJ, and were
committed in default of $500 bail
These youths are evidently some of a
gang Of youthful burglars who have
been infestiDg the city. One OF them,
when asked by the court where he re-
sided, mentioned nearly every large
city in the States.
A friend of Chief Darcy who hap
pened to visit the county jail few
days ago recognized a man there as
one who had escaped from Folsom,
where he was serving a two years
sentence. The Chief wrote to Folsom
and in return got description and
photo of the escaped convict which
fully proved his identity, and yester
day Russell took him back to Folsom.
The mans name is Williamson, and
he was here awaiting trial for stealing
horse and buggy.

SETTLED.
Tie Losses of tho Los Angeles
Furniture Company.

Furniture Company.
It will be remembered that the EN-
ployees of the Los Angeles Furniture
Company had just concluded the an
nual inventory OF stock at the time the
fire destroyed the establishment. For
tunately this inventory was saved,
and when footed up it was found that
the main building in which the princi-
pal part OF the damage had been done,
had contained goods valued
at $l16,850. Ever since the
fire she Underwriters have been
busy in figuring up the losses and in
endeavorng to reach a satisfactory
adjustment. 1t was found that there
had been an insurance of sol, 900 on
the furniture in the main building,
but considerable quantity had been
saved, and The Underwriters roposed
that the Los Angeles Furniture Com
pany deducts its value from the
amount to he paid. The Los Angeles
Furniture Company offered to give
$25 900 for this furniture, but
the Underwriters thought the,
could do better, so they paid the COM
pany the $ll6,850 and look the furni-
ture to dispose OF as suits themselves,
which will be by auction to be held
shortly.
This settlement is a good thing for
the Los Angeles Furniture Company,
for by it the company is enabled to go
into the market and purchase an en-
tirely new and fresh line OF goods for
the opening, which will not be very
long hence.

Governor Waterman ana >. r

EEasiin ira the City.
Governor r. w. Waterman, ac-
compa led by s. P. Maslin, Secre-
tary OF the State Board OF Examiners
arrived in the city at 3 80 P. NJ, yes
terday. They are making the rounds
Of charitable and other institutions
endowed by State appropriations and
under the care of State officials.
They left Sacramento January Sd and
have visited among other places
San Quentin and San Jose. The visit
to San Quentin was principally for
the purpose OF looking after the
iute factory establi~hed there. 1t will
be remembered the last Legislature
appropriated 100000 for that pur-
pose. During the last year the fac
tory has turned out 100000 sacks,
but the Governor has ordered that the
mill be run to it's full capacity by
three eight-hour shifts per day, thus
making it possible to turn out 6,000,-
600 sacks during the year Of 1888,
which amount he = links will
break the jute ring and give the
farmers what they have long looked
for-cheap sacks.
To-day the southern branch Of the
State Normal School will 1oe visited ;
Friday San Bernardino and later San
Diego. They will also visit the
orphans asylum at Santa Barbara at
an early date. At least a month will
be spent iu Southern California.

Notes.

The Southern Pacific Company's
trains were all on time yesterday.
Phillips excursion was reported as
arriving early this morning.
A train of twelve cars left Barstow
ior this city yesterday at 4 P. M.
A large excursion via the Southern
Pacific is expected to arrive this FORE
noon.
A new caboose, No. IS, has just
been finished at the Southern Pacific
Company's shops, and yesterday was
sent out on the road.
Yesterdays overland has not been
heard from, and persons looking for
friends cannot gain any idea as to
when they will arrive.
TIE wires are down east of Barstow,
and no idea can be gained as to the
condition of the road east OF that
place, but there is something evi-
IDENTIFY wrong.
