KILLED HIMSELF,
Not Content With Strychnine, He
Uses a Revolver.

Not Content With Strychnine, He
Uses a Revolver.
An old resident of Los Angeles by the
name of Jacob Hommel killed himself
last evening about o'clock. His resi-
dence is on Temple street, near Martz.
Mr.. Hommel is about 65 years of age.
He has been i'll for some time with
Bright's disease, complicated with dis
order of the liver, and has been COM
PEELED to endure much pain and suffering.
At last he became desperate and decided
to take his own life. His mind had not
been left unipjured by the disease and
he could scarcely be held responsible for
his acts.
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon he
took quantity of strychnine. AS soon
as the poison began to work he made up
his mind that its operation would be too
slow and too painful for him to wait to
die by that method, and he shot himself.
He placed the revolver against his breast
and fired, the ball penetrating his heart
and causing death almost instantane-
ously.
Mr.. Hommel at one time owned con-
siderable amount of valuable real estate
and carried on a profitable business in
buying and selling land. He is the
father.in-law of Officer Bowler, one OF
the most popular and efficient members
of the force.
The Coroner was notified and will hold
an inquest to-day.

AROUND THE CITY.
A Masked RObber Appears at
Boyle Heights.
AN OLD RESIDENTS SUICIDE.
How Parson Conducted a Meeting.
An Interesting Case in
Court.

1t appears that the masked robbers
who were heard of so frequently a few
months ago are again making their
rounds in the outskirts of the city. The
last time they stirred up the community
was when they attacked groceryman in
the southwest part of the city and sue
ceeded in gaining nothing. This same
band on the same evening terrorized
several wayside innkeepers to the north
OF the city, and then through the energy
of Detective Russell they were captured
on San Fernando street and have since
been sentenced to- long terms in the
State prison.
Last night grocery keeper in the east
ern part of the city was attacked while
in his store. About 8 O'Clock Mr.. J. X.
Swanfeldt was standing behind his coun-
ter inhis grocery store on Evergreen street
Boyle Heights. It is situated near the
g raveyard, and as robbers are supposed
to have a superstition in relation to the
appearance of ghouls in a shape which
they do not admire, the people in that
part of the city have not been in the
habit OF carrying or keeping firearms.
Mr.. Swanfeldt was no exception to this
rule, and when a man of more than or
dinary inches, with his face covered by a
white mask, black overcoat on his
shoulders and revolver in his and,
entered and stepped rapidly toward him,
he was unarmed and unprepare d to give
him warm welcome. The un welcome
visitor, pointing his revolver at Swan
feldt, demanded all the money he
had. Swanfeldt, hoping to delay him un-
til some assistance arrived, asked him,
"What money?''
"All the money you have behind the
counter" said the masked man.
Mr.. Swanfeldt replied that he had no
money.
"Well, want money, and quick too"
said the robber.
"You can't have It," said Mr.. Swan
feldt, advancing toward the man and ap-
pearing as if not afraid of the robber.
AS Swanfeldt advanced the robber gave
way towards the door, and Just as he
reached it Swanfeldt gave hum shove.
The would-be robber went out through
the door, and as he did so pulled the
trigger of his revolver, the ball going
harmlessly into the air. He then
turned and ran, forgetting to leave his
name behind. Officer Covarrubias went
over to the store as soon as the affair
was reported, but the robber had disap-
raorad

The Hall Case.

A few days ago A. H. Hall, a lawyer
of this city, filed papers for divorce from
his wife, charging her with being un-
faithful to her marriage VOWS. The
troubles of this family have been noticed
in the papers several times before. Mrs.
Hall claims that Mr.. Hall married her
for the money which she obtained
from her first husbands life insur-
ance. After the money was spent
Hall had row with her at
Pasadena, in which she was shot in the
wrist. The unhappy couple then separ-
ated, and since that time Mrs. Hall and
the child have been in destitute circum-
stances. Mr.. Wright, the officer of the
Humane Society, who had been in
formed that the child was being brought
up in bad surroundings, looked Mrs.
Hall no yesterday, and found that she
was fit subject for attention and assist
ance on the part OF the authorities.

BEN o. Rhoades, Mission.

Ben o. Rhoades, the genial auction
eer, has gone to MADEIRA, Fresno county.
where he is conducting the sale of the
Lankershin Colony tract, which has
been subdivided into ten and twenty
acre tracts and l 200 town lots as an ad-
dition to the town of MADEIRA. A short
time ago Mr.. Rhoades went to Fresno
and made one of the most successful
sales ever recorded in that or any other
vicinity, and when he concludes this sale
tomorrow, it is expected that he will
have added another triumph to his
already brilliant record. 1t will be
strange if there is a lot unsold when he
drops his hammer for the last time.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-12

ter waiting a moment, rather than
have it fall fiat, Mr.. Anderson, who had
been the mover, also seconded it.
This went against the parliamentary
instincts OF Scipio Johnsing who was a
prominent member of the congregation.
:" Hold on" he shouted, "Whaffor you
90 dat? The indicator, he doau have
no right to make de movements and
second 'em too."
Down came the gravel with resound-
lug thump.
"I'se de minister" said Mr.. Ander.
son, and OF cose attend to all dat"
In this high-handed manner was the
affair conducted, at least, so Washington
says, and 1t is presumable that, like the
original of the name, he cannot tell a
lie: His friends, however, were in a
sufficient majority to prevent his being
expelled and an honorable title Of dis
missal was granted him.
1t appeared in the trial yesterday that
he had used some violent and threaten
ing language toward the parson, and he
was bound over on bonds of $l00 to keep
the peace for six months.
81 would lick him yet, he remarked
afterwards, "but de price am too high"

The circus,

Considering that the weather was very
threatening, and in fact rained at inter-
walls during the day, Sells circus did
very fair business, although nothing COM
pared with what it did when here be-
fore. About $4,000 represented the total
receipts for the days business, and
although the show is running at daily
expense of $500, it will still leave q
very fair balance. The circus is NAM
moth one in every way, and probably
the finest that has ever been in Southern
California. The daring equestrianism of
VIM. Sells, Miss Addie Bell, Joe Ashton,
VIM. Showles, VIM. Dutton and Signor
Blan was magnificent exhibition, and
the other attractions were we'll in line
with it, for every number on the pro-
gramme was show in itsalf. The pro-
grsmme was concluded by the hippo
drome races OF all descriptions, introduc-
ing elephant and camel competitions, the
whole thing winding up with a grand
Roman four-horse chariot race.
During the day little difficulty was
created on account of q charge of ten
cents in addition to the admission fee
being levied on the patrons of the show,
but Colonel Seely states that the boxes
selling such tickets are "pirates," and
should not be patronized.

TOO HIGH A PRICE.
How ParsOn Anderson Conducted a
Meeting.


Meeting.
The brethren and sisters of the Colored
Baptist Church of this city are much dis
turbed in spirit over the quarrels be-
tween the Rev. Anderson. who oficiates
as shepherd, and certain members of the
congregation, notably Mr.. Washington
White. The outcome of the disagree
ment was the arrest of Washington on
the charge of threats and his trial before
Justice stanton yesterday.
1t would appear from all that is said
in the matter that Brother Washington,
although not an Albino by any means, is
not as black as he has been painted.
When the church was in difficulty and
in debt he came forward and cheerfully
put up forty dollars or thereabouts to
keep things going. The Rev. Anderson
cut his eye teeth in the last campaign
dabbling little in politics. He
thought that a good new way to pay
old debts was to have Washington
driven out of the flock. This is Brother
Washington's own account OF the affair,
and he furthermore affirms that the said
Rev. Anderson is "Jack-legged minis
ter''-whatever kind of a minister that
may be-and that in the last campaign
he looked out for other things besides
his health.
A special meeting was called by the
shepherd for the purpose of excommuni-
eating Washington and several other
members of the flock who sided with
him. Among these was one sister whose
own mother-in-law accused her of hav-
ing said that "politics want no place for
ministers nohow, specially for Brudder
Anderson, who tried to be on bofe sides
TO oncet." The meeting was conducted
in a manner which befitted local chap.
fer of the 'sLime Kiln Club" The Rev.
Anderson presided as Moderator. When
the question of the discipline of the
offending sister came up, he made the
motion on his own hook that she be
fred.
Nobody ventured to second it, and,

The Teiexcopa.

Messrs. King and Black, two able
astronomers on the staff of Professor
Pickering, will leave to-day for Wilson's
Peak, where they will superintend the
final details regarding the placing of the
big telescope. The frame for the instru-
ment has been placed in position by Mr..
E. H. Gorrell, of Sierra Madre, and it is
thought that within two weeks the tele-
scope will be ready for observations, and
the formal opening take place. There
will doubtless be big patronage of the
affair, for the telescope, which. is of o.
inch lens and is the property OF the Har-
ward University, will only remain here
until October, when it will be shipped
to South America. 1t is there to be
placed on the Andes and astronomical
observations taken from those peaks.
Two establishments have already been
located on the top of Wilson's summit
for the reception of visitors and are
much needed, for about thirty persons
make the trip every day to see how the
work is getting along.

POLITICAL POINTERS.


The Ore0oniGn's Olympia correspondent
ends the following from Puget Sound:
The republicans in Tacoma appear to
>e asleep; the democrats are wide awake
md scent victory in the air. W. r.
'ritchard is named by some in that city
or one Of the supreme judges on the re-
publican ticket. T. J. Humes, Of Seattle,
ms been spoken Of also, while General
'prague, as we'll as W. J. Thompson, is
till mentioned for the senatOrship or gov
rnorship. either Of the two last named
rave put in an appearan at Olympia
Turing the sitting Of the convention. All
he other candidatcs-Squire, Brents,
Cannon. Allen and Haines-have been
here, fixed up their fences or overlooked
he convention" and gone away again.
New tickets are being named every day |;
one Of the latest is Sprague or Thompson,
4 Tacoma, for governor; Hewlett, Of
North Yakima, for lieutenant governor /;
Wilson, Of Spokane, for congress; Squire,
4 Seattle, and Brents, Of Walla walla,
for senators. Ferry, Of Seattle, is also in
the field for governor.
President Hoyt has not yet made up
his mind to run for one Of the supreme
IulSeships. He likes banking best.
Judge Calkins, Of Spokane, and Judge
Turner, Of the same place, both prominent
republicans, who lately have been at
tackled personally by leading republican
organ Of the territory, are both possibili-
ties for the United States senate.
Dunbar, of Klickitat, has been nomi.
mated for congress by newspaper, and
his friends are asking what he has ever
done to deserve such treatment, especially
after he made such great fight for allow
ing subsidies in counties.
Weir, Of Port Townsend, has also a
boom for congress.
Cosgrove would like to 20, but not as
an independent. Hegave Durie, Of King,
a back-handed slap the other day when
he said he never left his party without
giving 1t fair notice Of such intention.
Durie and the KIM county democrats are
accused of voting for Hoyt in the conven-
ton for president sub-rosa, just because
he was a King county man. King al
ways stands together when its Interests
are to subserve, political or otherwise.
Another combination from the Sound
has centered Oh John b. Allen for gov
ernor.
Cannon, much to the regret Of Spokane
Falls people, has retired from the sena-
torial fight on account OF i'll health.
Comegys, Of Whitman county, is also
talked Of for congress. He is n lawyer
and a stockman, and was against putting
God in the constitution, even under an
alias.
Sturdevant, Of Columbia county, is
mentioned for attorney general, and so is
W. c. Jones, Of Spokane. Probably this
Office will 20 to either Whitman or Col
umbia county.
Stiles, Of Tacoma, and J. z. Moore, Of
Spokane, are named for a iudgeship.
o. G. White will, IN all probability, get
the nomination for secretary Of state.
A. Mires, Of EllensburLh, is spoken OF
for commissioner Of public lands, and 7.
NJ. Reed, Of Olympia, for auditor.
