A Good officer.

1t is not often that so high compi-
ment is paid to an official as that which
is Justly bestowed on Dan Moriarty, the
able and affable Chief of the Fire
Department. So efficiently has Moriarty
performed the difficult and important
duties OF the place that it is the general,
almost the universal desire Of the UNDER
writers and of many property holders
that he should be retained in the position
in spite of the fact that there is change
in the political complexion of the city
government. Dan has put out every IRE
for which an alarm has rung, since he took
charge of the boys and their machines.
The consequence is that hosts of Repub-
licans are pressing the matter Of his re-
t-ntion in Office on the new Council.
That is sort of civil service reform in
which all property holders take q deep
interest,

CUT AND CARVED.
Result of Jealousy of Four Weeks,

Result of Jealousy of Four Weeks,
Standing.
A serious affray is reported to have oc-
Cured at the Amestoy ranch, near Comp.
ton, on the night OF the 25th, in which
Guadalupe Castro, and q Basque, name
unknown, are involved. 1t is said that
Castro stabbed the Basque with a pocket
knife. INJECTING what were considered at
IL the tint :::..::i rounds One wound was
in the face, two in the back of the head !,
over the heart, and one on each arm, and
a cut on the legs. DR.. Mcfarland was
summoned, and while it was thought the
man was already beyond saving, the Doc
tor managed to take him out of immedi-
ate danger. At last accounts he was
still alive. The quarrel, it is said, was
caused by jealousy of four weeks
standing.
1t was learned early this morning that
two of the wounds are in the mans
neck, one reaching right across the left
cheek, and requiring eight stitches and
the tying of the artery. There was one
on each side under the arms, and one
on the left thigh right to the bone.
Castro is man weighing 215 pounds or
thereby, while the Basque weighs only
14O pounds. Word Of the cutting came
to the Sheriff's office at 7 so, when
Deputy Sheriff Hammell Immediately
took q team and drove to the ranch,
where he arrested Castro in the barn
and brought him to the city, landing
him in the county Jail at midnight. The
Baeque is in charge of a physician at the
ranch, and the doctor states that he will
probably die from exhaustion caused by
loss of blood. Castro is man with a
bad reputation, and has been in trouble

That is Where Santa Ana Has
Carried 1t.
Yesterday committee of the leading
citizens Of Santa Ana invaded Los Ange-
les with petition praying the Senate to
pass the bill which has already passed
the Assembly, to set up the county of
Orange. This petition was actually circu-
lated here for citizens of this city to sign.
Major Geo. H. Bonebrake, Mr.. o. w.
Childs and others were solic-
tied to attach their names to
the paper. So far as the HnRALD can
learn there there were none of the people
Of Of Los Angeles AZ gge!!es whc signed the petition.
These bold political buccaneers from
lovely and prosperous Santa Ana met q
most frigid reception in the Angelic City.
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city met in executive session yesterday
and took some action looking to the de.
feat of the bill. As the meeting was
not public one it did not transpire just
what action was taken; but it is prob
able that an influential committee will
proceed at once to Sacramento to lay be-
fore the grave Senators the true senti-
ment of the people of the county touch
ing this proposition to dismember the
imperial county.

Of the way by that time. I fear that il
we try to have the duty of 81 per box all
the year that the importers and brokers
would oppose us in Congress and We
would get nothing. Our freight to New
York has been 81 cents per box this year,
and the Mediterranean fruit to New York
has been 25 cents per box and the inn
port duty 25 cents per box, making =
difference in the favor of the foreign
oranges of cents per box. The orange
yield in this country is 200 boxes per
acre, which, at cents box, is $14 per
acre in favor of the Italian growers. The
cost of labor in this State is 81
per day, and it will require ten
men to care for 100 acres, an expense of
$3, 900 per year. To care for the same
acreage in Italy it costs 5000 per year for
ten hands at 20 cents day, making 424
an acre in favor of the foreign grower.
Now add $14 difference in freight and
$24 difference in cost of labor, and there
is $34 in favor of the Mediterranean
orange grower on every acre. We desire
to overcome this, and we want you in
California to join in with us for mutual
protection. The Boards of Trade
of nearly every city in Florida
have already sent forward petitions
to Congress in this behalf, and at meet
ing of the orange-growers of the State
held at Ocala, on tie 9TH instant, mo-
ton to instruct our representatives in
Congress to use their influence to have
tariff Of 81 per box imposed On all foreign
oranges and lemons imported from Mo-
vember LIST to April LIST, was unanimous
ly carried. Would the Board of Trade
Of Los Angeles look with favor upon
proposition of this kind?
II shall be glad to hear from you upon
this subject. Yours very truly,

The railroad men in this section are
being kept busy handling the crop,
which is at present outpouring at lively
rate. Five and sometimes six special
trains are sent out eastward every week,
representing about $4,000 boxes of the
golden fruit. Last night train of
twelve cars went out over the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific, and one of
six cars over the Sunset for delivery to
the Texas and Pacific. Another special
will leave to night over the Santa Fe and

The attendance at Armory Hall last
night was decided Improvement on
that of the opening evening and there
seems little doubt that Father Har-
brett's idea in getting up the affair will
result, as it certainly deserves to, in a
great success. The booths were all ten
anted last night and quite number of
additional stands had been put up, the
most successful of which proved
to be cane department, where
the skillful manipulation of goodly-sized
rings had an opportunity of securing, for
a very few cents, substantial and we'll
appearing walking-stick. In the gallery
had also been established a shooting
school, at which there was big attend
ance all the evening, and judging by the
incessant reports. the cashier of the
establishment had good round sum to
report when the evenings festivities
were brought to u conclusion. The
Gypsy Booth is the only one where cos
tunes appropriate to the stand are worn.
and this is doubtless done to add an ad-
ditional appearance of reality to the
tent, within which for moderate
sum the secrets of the future re unrav-
eled to the confiding visitor. Voting is
carried on for the most popular fireman,
Dan Moriarty being, so far, in the lead,
and many such inducements are held
out to tempt the small change from the
pocket of the charitable. A grand
march led by Mr.. B. Fehnemann, who
prolonged it 30 much that it was rumored
he is in training for the approaching six
days match, constituted the principal
part Of the programme last night, which
was further enlivened by musical reci-
tation by Professor Gardner's orchestra.
For this evening recitations and vocal
solos are promised, and the ladies in
charge of the lunch room say that they
are confident that any one who patron
ICES them once will come again.

THE GOLDEN FRUIT.

An Interesting Letter from Florida.
Mr.. Edwin Earl, the well.kEown or
ange broker Of Chicago, who each winter
establishes himself here for the purpose
of handling the crop about Los Angeles,
states that there is good demand from
the East for fruit and that prices are
steady and about the same as at the
opening of the season. Mr.. Earl wrote q
short time ago to Florida for particulars
regarding the crop there, and has re-
ceived in response document, of which
the following is a copy:

DEAR SIR-Your Iavor of 1sI inst, with
information, is received, for which l
thank you, and will in time give you
the information you seek, in regard to
the orange crop OF this State for the past
season.
The orange crop of Florida is esti-
mated to exceed 100000 boxes, about
three -fourths of which has gone forward.
The average net to growers throughout
the State is a pretty knotty question,
but would not put it over so cents q

know how it may be in Southern Cali
fornia, but orange growing in rlorida, to
my mind, does not present hopeful
future. When the acreage already
planted comes in with its yield, which il
may reasonably be expected to do in afew
years, there is no question that
it will be utterly impossible to market il
| in this country between November and
March. In fact, Uncle Sam is having
too much fruit to have . keen relish fol
| it. There are too many apples and
grapes, and bananas and foreign oranges
put upon the market for our home grown
oranges to be taken at prices that shall
be profitable to the grower. The freight
and import duty on foreign oranges dc
not equal the freight on oranges from
Florida to New York or Boston, anC
whenever our market rallies to be profit
able, very soon large lot of foreign
oranges will be thrown upon it, and ther
down it goes, 80 that we have nothing Il
rely upon but loss. We are trying to in
fluence Congress to put duty 0
one dollar q box on all foreign
grown oranges imported into this coun
try from November 1st to April 1st
and we would like to have the Californi,
orange-growers help us, and If April Is

Profits Of orange Growing.

Mr.. J. H. Brewer has small orange
orchard in the lovely Vernon district.
There are about $50 trees in the orchard.
or 21a acres planted with these trees.
Yesterday he sold the crop for 81 900 on
the trees. 1t is not claimed that even
the Vernon district, fertile as it is, is the
best suited for orange culture. The foot
hill country is generally conceded to be
better. Yet result like the above is
such as to set this section far above all
others in the Union as regards the profits
of horticulture. Where else can the
farmer make $4O0 an acre for any sort Of
fruit culture?

Potatoes Following Corn.

II corn has been heavily manurcd on
an old tough sod, it leaves the land in
excellent condition for growing large
potato crop the following season. The
coarse manure is just right for the corn
crop, giving warmth which corn needs
and potatoes do not. Fresh manure also
causes rot in potatoes, especially if the
weather be moist. The second years use
of the manure is therefore best for the
potato crop, and after two years of
thorough cultivation the land ought to
be free from weeds and in excellent con-
dition for seeding. The only objection
to this plan is that sometimes the lack of
a sod to be plowcd under causes failure
of the potato crop in dry season. Even
this may be partially remcdied, however,
if rye is sown among the corn at the time
of the last cultivation. The rye thus
covers the ground during winter, and
protects it from washing away. In the
spring, rye will grow up to full size, and
be full of sap in time to be plowed under
for the potato planting.-Cultioator.

To Prevent Swarming.

If you desire to prevent swarming to
the greatest possible extent you must
use a hive large enough to accommodate
all of the bees that one queen can ever
produce. You must keep your bees en-
ployed either by taking their honey or
by giving them room to build comb.
The young bees having their work al
lotted to them in the hive, as nurses and
comb builders; those young bees not
needed as nurses ought to have room to
cluster and build comb until they are old
enough to go forth in quest of honey.
If you are working for extracted honey,
you will, as soon as your hives become
well filled with bees, but not too much
crowded, place an upper story on your
hive the same size as the lower, when
this is filled raise it up and put another
between it and the lower one. These
three hives should satisfy any colony,
but if it does not some of the strongest
add still another.

Influence of Feed.

Mr.. William V. S. Beckman once re-
ported an interesting involuntary exper-
fence by which he learned that the most
palatable as we'll as expensive turkey
meat is built on basis of lima beans.
That the character of feed of all farm an
imals greatly influences quality of flesh
and milk is a matter of common observa-
ton; Home and Farm writer illustrates
the fact as equally applicable in the case
of reproduction: Eggs in the corn
and cattle districts of the West have far
less keeping quality and much thinner
shell than eggs coming from States and
districts of broken or hilly sur
face and soil of comparative pow
erty. And the fact of q thinner
or thicker shell does not tell the
whole story. There has been found to
be radical difference in the proportion
ate amount of the constituent element of
the two classes-the thinner shelled eggs,
the product of very rich soil containing
more nitrogenous and mineral matter,
notably PHOSPHORUS and sulphur; and
thicker shelled, larger portion of pure
albumen, water and oil.

Feeding Cattle for Manure.

The feeding of cattle for manure is q
subject for profitable study through the
winter. Manure is the most valuable
crop that farmers can produce. 1t can
not be purchased except in the shape of
costly fertilizers, or at eXorbitant prices
that farmers cannot afford. At its usual
market value of $3.50 to So per ton it is
largely used by thousands of farmers.
But it can be made for much less than
this price. Milking COWS use up 20 per
cent. of the manurial elements of their
.ood, young stock 10 per cent, and fat
tening cattle only five per cent. A ton
of straw and ton of hay fed with 500
pounds of cottonsced meal will make
eight tons of manure, and will be fully
returned in the form of flesh or fat, or
milk and butter. So that the farmer
who buys these feeding substances will
have at the aforementioned market
prices fully $50 worth of manure, clear
profit from the food, if he does not make
anything from the stock.-Ne,o York
Times. 80.

Care of q Shinple Roof.

There are several ways in which a
shingle roof may be treated so as to add
very much to its durability, among
which are: 1. Paint the surface of each
course of shingles as it is laid down with
lead and oil paint, or paint one surface
and let them dry before laying down.
One good coat should be enough. 2.
Paint the roof over as thoroughly as
possible with the same kind of paint of
any color desired, as soon as the roof is
finished. 8. Petroleum may be used
instead of paint, and of course will be
much cheaper, but it is liable to the OBJ
lection of increasing the danger of fire
on buildings where fires are maintained.
Soaking shingles short time in solu-
ton of lime and salt has also been re-
commended. Of all the methods, paint
ing and drying before they are laid is the
best, but the most troublesome, and if
the roof is also painted after it is fin
ished the job will be complete one.
If any expense is put on board roof, it
should be of matched stuff with a
smoothly planed surface, and be painted
the same as weather boarding. Gas tar
is not as good for a tin roof as the roof
ing paint that can be bought at hard
ware stores ready mixed for the purpose.
