THE CITY FUNDS.
Who VIII bid TO Take Care o.
Them.

VINO VIII At10 10 rake care OF
Them.
City Clerk Teed yesterday wrote out
an advertisement for proposals for TAX
ing charge of the funds of the city
treasury. The new charter, Article ",
Section A, provides that sit shall be the
duty of the City Clerk, upon the first
Tuesday in January of each year, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, to cause
notice to be given, by public advertise
ment for one week in some daily paper
published in the city of Los Angeles,
that sealed proposals will be received
from any bank OF deposit in the city of
Los Angeles, as to the terms upon which
they will receive and disburse the public
moneys of said city,"
Mr.. Teed had some doubts about cal
ling for proposals this year and referred
the matter to Mayor Hazard, who sent
him letter, in which he says: 81 un-
derstand that you have not yet made
such publication, and as 1 consider it
mandatory on you to do so, you are hereby
requested to make such publication forth
with, that further loss of the interest on
the amount of moneys now in the city
treasury, amounting to over $400, 900,
may be stopped"
According to the advertisement which
appears in this mornings HERALD, pro.
posals will be received until April 22d.
The last time bids were asked for this
purpose was on June 4, 1888, when the
following bids were received: Savings
Bank of Southern California, one-tenth
of per cent. per month; Los Angeles
Savings Bank, one-eighth of per cent
and California Bank one-twelfth of l 1-12

HOMMEL'S SUICIDE.

hlX Led In the Act.

Some of the Facts which PrOba.
bly, Led 10 the Act.
The coroner, who has had nothing at
all to do for the last fifteen days, was
very busy yesterday. The first thing in
the morning was the inquest on the body
of Jacob Hommel, who committed sui
eide late Thursday afternoon. In the
course of the day news came in of three
other cases, the French woman killed on
Alameda street, boy drowned at West
lake Park, and man dead at Whining
ton. The inquests on the last three will
be held to-day.
The inquest on the body of Jacob
Hommel brought no new facts to light
beyond what were narrated in yester-
days account. The verdict was that
death resulted from a gunshot wound in
the side, fred by himself in a fit of tenn
porary insanity.
One of the witnesses said that the rea-
son for the old mans depression of spirits
was to be found not so much in his ILL
ness as in the worry of recent lawsuit.
Reference was probably intended to a
breach OF promise suit, which is still
pending. The woman in the case is a
Miss Theresa Ackerman, the daughter of
q Minnesota farmer, who had been serv-
ing as his housekeeper. The young
woman lived with Hommel for some
time as his wife and had child by him.
Some time after the birth of the child
they separated and Miss Theresa was
presented with a piece of valuable real
estate as compensation for what had
taken place. She was induced to give
Hommel document forfeiting all claims
which she might have against him. She
says that this paper was obtained from
her by fraud and under a misunderstand-
ing.
Some time ago Miss Alderman brought
suit against Mr.. Hommel for $4,000
damages for his failure to marry her.
The lot which she accepted and which is
said to be worth about 5000 she claims
was merely present to the baby. The
case would have been tried in all proba-
bility in couple of months. The death
of Homnel will probably cause the suit
to take new form, although it will not
be withdrawn.
Mr.. Hommel was said to have been
worth about $150,000, although his
affairs toward the end of his life were
not little involved. He has number
of children.

THE AZUSA DISTRICT.
The Supervisors Grant the Prayer
of Petitioners.

AG SUPER 0I&Ae shC
of Petitioners.
The Supervisors were kept busy yes
terday in listening to the various petf-
fions, protests and arguments in relation
to the Azuss Irrigation District. The
original petition asking that an election
be called to form an irrigation district
was fled on March 9th, and was signed
by rs residents. Shortly after this was
filed T. s. Reddick and M. L. Wicks filed
another, asking that their land in the
San Jose ranch be included within the
boundaries. Then w. II. Southern filed
q petition to exclude a piece of land
which was barren, and then the protest
of s. McCurdy and 113 others was filed,
to the formation of the district on the
ground that a compromise had been
effected in the disputed rights in the
waters of the San Gabriel cafion, and it
was believed that the water develop
ment would be successfully carried
on by the committee represent
ing the different interests and the
protesters believed it injudicious to hold
an election. All these petitions were
read yesterday, and the parties appeared
and argued in behalf Of their various
interests. The Vineland Irrigation dis
trict, by its attorney, IL. K. S. O'Mel-
veny, protested to the formation of
the district, on the ground that the sup.
ply of water was not sufficient for both
districts. Several property owners ap-
peared and argued against admitting the
lands OF Messrs. Wicks and Ruddock
into the district, and Mr.. Wicks an
swered showing the necessity of includ-
ing his land. The Supervisors, after
considering the matter, concluded to in
clude the land of Messrs. Wicks and
Ruddock in the district, and granted the
prayer for the formation of the district
The election which will follow will show
whether or not there is to be an irriga-
ton district at Azusa.

A Good Tipster.

The Tribune in yesterday mornings
issue takes "Anglice" of the HERALD to
account for not being very successful
tipster. The remarks proved to be
wonderfully iil-timed however, for the
selections given by "Anglice" for yester-
days races were in every instance COR
rect, and had any one followed them, a
successful days business would have
been the result. Ten dollars played
accumulstively on his predictions would
have netted 500.

A CHANGE OF OFFICIALS.
FOrebodings Regard ding the Coming
SANTA Ee Election.

=
An interesting private letter was re-
ceived in town yesterday from official
sources in the Santa Fe headquarters in
Boston. 1t states that at the election of
officers next month almost complete
change will doubtless be made. The
stockholders are said to be very dissatis-
fed with the way the road has been run
during the last twelve months and think
that change of officers is the only good
way OF amending matters. The states
ON the pending election are said to be all
unanimous for Mr.. A. A. Robinson, the
present Superintendent and Vice-Presi-
dent, for the position of President. Mr..
w. B. Strong, who is at present chief
dignitary, will, it is said, be
retired altogether, and MIR. @. W. Smith
will share like fate, in spite of the con-
tract by which he is engaged. With the
new officials complete change of policy
and administration will be made, and a
big effort made to put the road on a good

The Commissioners Meet and Approve the Tax

Special to the Gazette.
TEXARKANA, TEX. Feb. II The COM
missioners' court of this (Bowie) county
met here this morning in regular session.
One of their first acts was to approve the
bond of W S. Proctor, tax collector for
the county THE GAZETTE has from
time to time reported the complications
surrounding this office, which can be
summed up as follows: On November IG
one of the bondsmen of William Arbuckle,
tax collectOr-elect, applied to be relieved
from said bond. This necessitated an en-
tire new bond, which Mr. ArbuckIe failed
to give to the satisfaction of the court
and in due time w. s. Proctor of DeKalb
was appointed to the position. The court
assembled last week to approve his bond
but it was found to be informal in some
respects, and he was granted further
time. He was Installed in office to-day
and the collection of taxes which has
been suspended for three months is now
resumed.
The record books and blanks
have arrived and business in
the several departments mas been re-
sumed, but the results of the disastrous
fire that destroyed the court house win
be felt here for many years.
News was received here this evening of
the death of a respected colored school
teacher, who resided about ten miles
from this place under distressing circum-
stances The unfortunate man s name
was J. Lathrop, and he had been missed
for some days from home. He was
found to-day in the river bottom about
a mile from his home dead
1t appears that he got lost arc wandered
around through the overflow until
thoroughly numbed and laid down to
sleep His horse was lying in few feet
of him also dead. The two evidently
came to their death from cold and ex-
posure, as there were no marks of
violence about either.
