RATHER strange meteorological phe-
nomena have been developed in this
section within the past few days. The
barometer began to fall here last week,
and from above 80 degrees the mercury
settled until yesterday morning it touched
29.69 degrees. At San Diego it went
down on Monday to 1856 degrees, very
unusual depression. Here there has
been very little rain, although for nearly
week we have been near the very CEN
ter of storm region. At San Diego it
rained violently. By o'clock yester-
day morning the thermometer had risen
to 1888 degrees, indicating that the
storm was passing. The thermometer
on Monday night and last night was
low. The past two days have been
about the chilliest of the current winter.

Canada has one million hens and the

Land Grant Forfeiture.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-It appears
that the conferees on the Land Grant
Railroad Forfeiture bill, who few days
ago had closely approached agreement,
are drifting apart. At the last meeting
the House conferees showed disposition
to return to their original position, and as
a result of subsequent conferences be-
tween and certain Of their fellow-mem.
bers interested in the measure in confer
ence, It is learned that they have been
strengthened in their disposition to in.

AMUSE MENTS.

Leavitt's Novelties at the Grand
Opera House.
Mr.. Leavitt's variety show of many
features, gathered from all over Europe
at great expense, is the attraction this
week at the Grand. 1t is doing a good
business and affording amusement to
those who attend. Many of the features
are strikingly novel. Duncan, the ven.
triloquist, is very clever, and the man
who uses his arms as legs is wonder.
There is much music in the combination,
and several of the combinations do
graceful dancing.

ONE of the most attractive features of

ONE of the most attractive features OF
the new sewer pipe industry, about
which something is said in other por-
tions of the HERALD to-day, is that
all its material and power are of native
production. The clay comes from the
beds at Elsinore. The one-quarter sand
mixed with this is from the river bed
The steam is made by means of petro-
leum from the Puente wells. All the
pipe made demands labor, and the wages
paid for this stays at home here and goes
back at once into circulation.

WE HAVE made great progress in our
streets since last year, but we have not
taken the steps needed to keep the
advantage thus gained. Good, properly
made and properly kept asphaltum
streets will last for many years. But,
to insure this result, they must be kept
clean, as they are in London, Paris and
other European cities, and in some
American cities. The roll of wagons on
clean asphaltum streets causes very little
damage where grit, dirt and sand are
removed imm ediately. If these impede
ments are left on them, however, they
might as we'll not have been created at
all. They will be cut up and practically
destroyed in couple of years. We are
paying for keeping our streets clean, and
paying as much as if the work were well
done. The truth is that it is
done execrably, and that even our
paved thoroughfares are an offense to all
people who love cleanliness and want
something for their money. In many
places, both Main and Spring streets,
though paved so recently, show signs of
dilapidation. One of the street-cleaning
contractors explained his faulty work by
saying that lot of brooms he had
ordered had failed to arrive. If we allow
grit and dirt to do their perfect work of
destruction we might just as we'll have
no paved streets at all. To make streets,
and then allow them to be destroyed, is
to throw money away. We should
amend our methods, and at once.

The street nomenclature of Los An
geles is one of che most unique things in
America, and it calls most exigently for
the reformatory energy of the Council.
Thus, to give example, one of our
thoroughfares, from Temple to WASH
ington streets, is called Pearl From
Washington onward it is called Figueroa.
We have Vernon street in the Temple
street region and another Vernon street
in the Vernon country to the south.
When it comes to Palm streets we are
still further embarrassed. We have
streets Of that name both in Vernon and
University districts, while we have a
Palm avenue out by the Hotel Marl-
borough. There is Union avenue out
on Temple street, while Union avenue
also runs off from Main street about a
mile beyond Mr.. Child's residence.
In East Los Angeles We have a Vignes
street, while there is Vignes avenue
branching from Ohio street. Here is q
confusion worse confounded on which q
municipal chaos sits which surely ought to
be remedied. We have given but q
hint of the confused street nomencla-
ture of Los Angeles which makes it
very difficult for letter to reach Ange-
lefios who happen to live on these tho
roughfares. 1t may take few hours to
bring things to rights, but surely the
City Fathers ought to tackle the difficult
ty. In union there is strength, and the
palm is perhaps the most graceful of
trees, but there ought to be limit to the
association of these attractive names
with our thoroughfares. The hardbested
Angelef1o is suffering from surfeit of
good things.

A Woman's wild Mania for Horses Leads
TO Grave Results.

A New York special says: For two days
mast three mysterious prisoners. one of
them a woman, have been confined IN Lud-
low-Strect Jail. They were taken there by
a posse of officers AT a late hour on we'd
nesday. To-day they were arraigned m
camera before United States Commlssioner
Osborne at the United States Marshaps
Office and the story Of their crime made
known. Their names are Henri Antoine
Non. his wife. Blanche Nol, and
Paul Hamant. All three We're, until
two months ago, residents of Paris. Noll
was acting cashier for the banking-house
of Belisias Joumel 4 Co.. of that city, and
had been in its employ for ten wears. He
is a Belgian by birth. On the 23d Of May
he disappeared, and an eTaInlnatlon OF ms
books the following day led TO the discoy
ery that he had been embezzllng heavily.
II was ascertained by the Paris police that
he had fed 10 this country, and Plnkerton
was engaged TO hunt him and ms supposed
accOmplices down. Detective Julien traced
them 10 Far Rockaway and kept watch on
them there night and day for two weeks,
awaiting the prelimlnarles for their extra
ditiOn.
On Wednesday last tho French Consul
General made complaint accusing them
and one other other person not in custody
of embezZling 10000 francs from Joumel
a Co. on Nav 10th, and they were arrested
the same night while in bed at Far ROcka-
Wav nv Deputy Marshal Bernhard and con-
viewed 10 JAIL. II was said that $4,000 francs
were found IN the possession Of NOll.
The rest OF the money he Is accused OF
embezzling he lost in betting on the races
at the Chantilly course at Paris, and in
cav living with his companions after their
arrival in this country. His wife was q
regular attendant at the races. and the
losses she met with were heavy, and TO re-
pair the fortune she tempted him 10 en-
beZzle. the officers say.
A few DAYS before the flight from Paris
she wrote 70 a friend that she had wagered
20 900 francs on race, and that If she lost
She would have 70 quit France. The alleged
forgers arrived here in detachments, MIR.

They first went TO the Hot Brunswick,
and afterwards moved 10 Far Rockaway,
where they boarded with a Mrs. DickersOn.
They attended theraces at Cedarhurst and
Shpepshead nearly every day and lived ex-
travaeantlv. Neither Noll nor his wife
can speak English, and when they were
brought before the Commissioner the
counsel who had been engaged for them
through the Marshal could not understand
their answer to the complaint. The pri-
soners were renanded TO jail until next
