WHEN the Hon. John I. Gaffey vent
DOWN To tho Santa Clara placer fraud be
was the accredited correspondent of the
HERALD. OF course, on an isstfair Of such
gravity, he was expected to use the w..tes'
Mr.. Gaffey, who has returned to Los An
geles, informs us that he had perfectly
awful time Of it. The great Serbonian
bog, betwixt Damietta and Mt. Cassius
old, was as nothing to the roads which
led up to this Lower California igats
tdtouS, and the return trip was quite as
bad, if not worse. When he arrived at
Real Del Castillo he struck Mexican
government telegraph Office, presided
over by pretty girl operator. and he
essayed to send telegram to the HER
AID. "Is it favorable or unfavorable ?"
asked the damsel. "I ask the question
because if it is unfavorable it will not go
any further than Ensenada. From
that point the wires are controlled
by the International Company, and
they don't permit anything unfavorable
to the mines to get any further" Thus
satisfied of the futility of his efforts, Mr..
Gaffey forbore putting this paper to a
useless expense. The Los Angeles mem.
ber of the State Board of Equalization
turns up as handsome as ever, but there
is an introversive expression on his
Graco-Roman face which speaks OF Wis,
ions fondly entertained of untold bonanza
converted into borasca Of the most horsey
kind. As he greets his friends there is q
sad murmur of "'Twas ever thus from
childhood's hour" and the gazelle in the
minds eye is seen to be dropping. The
discovery of an honest lady operator il
the vast desert expanses of Lower Cali.
fornia is the only gleam of light in al
the arid ruggedness OF that God-forsaker
country, our esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune, to the contrary, and notwith
standing.

THE public has scarcely yet recovered
from the shock involved in Lawrence
Barrett's solemn announcement before
the footlights that Booth was paralyzed.
There was something very serious and
pathetic about the unconsidered deliv-
cry; and, in the light of subsequent de-
velopments, it really looks as if Barrett
himself was partially paralyzed when he
made it. 1t now appears that the species
of paralysis which afflicted the great
trsgedian was Of the sort that attacked
him frequently in his younger days, and
which was wont to attack his even
greater father at all stages of his his
triOnic career. The spiritsts .frimenH has
far more to do with this peculiar ailment
than the subtle essence Of nicotine.

DR.. HAMMOND, of San Francisco, has
furnished statement to the Chronicle
showing the moneys collected and the
amount paid cut during Sam Jones's
meetings in that city. He says the col
lections and subscriptions amounted to
$4, 500, and the payments, to $4,000, in
cluding 81 500 paid to Mr.. Jones for his
services over and above the hotel ex-
penses for himself and family. The de-
felt of 5000 was covered by subscrip-
tions. The Chronicle reporter then had
the following interesting interview with
DR.. Hammond:
stDo YOU know" asked the reporter,
after reading DIR. Hammond's written
statements, "what Mr.. Jones received at
Sacramento and Los Angeles?"
Eyes; at Sacramento, where he re-
NAMED three weeks, he received about
the same as here, 81 500, and at Los
Angeles, where he labored for a month,
| s., 400. In all, he received for his three
months services on this coast about
So 600, which is about one-third OF what
he would have received from the Slaton
Lecture Bureau of Chicago, which has
made him a standing offer of 5000 per
night for as many nights as he would
engage"
"How do you account for it that Mr..
Jones received 5000 more at Los Angeles
than in this city for the same timer"
''In two ways. The expenses were
less and the individual subscriptions
were larger, some being 5000, $500 and
$400, while we had only few subscrip-
tions of as much as 800, and none
larger, in this city,"
Los Angeles has, it appears from the
above, dealt more literally by Sam thar
any other California city. But, Oh
the whole, the evangelist has beer
well paid for his labor. A net earn
ing of $4,000 in three months ought tt
be considered good pay. Thas is at th'
rate of $4,000 a year clear. Ministers
of the highest reputation, most finished
scholarship, and most enchanting elo
quence are not paid one-fourth tina
amount as salary. But Mr.. Jones's in
come does not stop at even that hand
some sum. What he makes out of hiI
special hymnal and other publiea
tions would probably give him cleal
income of $4,000 a year. But i
probably greatly overreaches that sum
for DIR. Hammond says he made inancia
sacrifices to come here, as he has 6
standing offer from the slaton Lecture
Bureau of 5000 per night for as many
nights as he wishes to engage. From
these figures it will be eeen that a man
of Mr.. Jones's ealiber can soon get rich,
and that sensational preaching, as the
North Carolinian manages it, pays bet
ter than any other calling we know of.
1t is said that some of the highest-priced
railr6ed men have salaries reaching to
| SOS 600 6 year. But they must board
themselves.

DEsPERADOES, WORK.
They Torture and Rob a Farmer of
his Money and watch.

AAs UAOAhCy ah10 W oAhNhs
BUTLER. Pa, April 9.-Lewis Patter-
son, a prominent and wealthy farmer
living near Centreville, was robbed last
night by three masked men. There was
nobody in the house at the time, but he
and his mother, eighty years old. The
three men called to Patterson to come
out, and upon his refusing to do 30 they
burst in the door. Patterson felled the
first man to enter with poker, but the
others overpowered him. The robbers
then tortured him by burning his face
and feet to make him tell where he kept
his money, but to no purpose, as Patter-
son insisted he had none. They then
searched the house and after securing $43
in money and Patterson q gold watch, they
departed. declaring that if he moved until
they were gone one half hour, he would
be shot dead. There is no positive clue
to the desperadoes, but every effort will
be made to run them down. There is
firm determination among the citizens to-
prevent series of Fayette county out
RACES from being perpetrated in this
county.

CHIEF ENGINEER MARCUS SMITH, who
helped to locate the present Union
Pacific Railroad, and who will have
charge of extending the Utah Central,
says that by the end of 1891 it will be in
operation to tidewater at San Pedro. 1t
is very likely that Mr.. Smith speaks by
the card, for the Directors of the Utah
Central, on the 2Sth Of last month, voted
in favor of the immediate extension of
the road from Milford to Pieahe, a dis
tance OF one hundred miles, and it will
be operating to the latter place before
the close of this year. The President OF
the road has given assurances that the
company will build branches and side
tracks to any mining district along the
line that gives promise Of business. AS
this road will really be the nearest outlet
for great series of mining districts that
are now dormant for the want OF trans
portation, Los Angeles will find herself,
on its completion, the most favorably
situated city in the United States for the
establishment of extensive and profitable
separating and refining works. The as
surances of Mr.. Smith and the action OF
the Directors of the Utah Central leave
no doubt that the Union Pacific has de.
termined TO reach tidewater at San
Pedro. The Utah Central belongs
to the Union Pacific, and the
purchase of Rattlesnake Island by
parties representing the U. P. shows
conelusively that San Pedro is the OBJ
jective point of the extension. So vel
assured are leading mining capitalists
that this extension will be carried ou
soon that they have cent mining experts
into the various districts along the route
to examine the lodges and buy up claims
This is the forerunner of very exten
sive and permanent mining revival in
Southern Nevada and the whole bach
mineral country of Southern California,
A very large share Of the profits to be de-
rived from the opening of this rich ex-
tent of country will come to Los Angeles
if our merchants and capitalists wi II ex-
hibit energy, foresight and nerve.

A New Road to the sound.

ST. PAUL, April ga Pioneer-Press
special from Spokane Falls, Washington
Territory, says: "The Spokane, Post
Falls and Eastern Railroad Company
has been organized with a capi-
tai of $5,00OO00. The Company
will build line east from
Spokane to Post Falls, then to some
point on the st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba road, connecting Manitoba
with the Seattle and Lake Shore, and
forming new line from st. Paul to
Puget Sound. The surveyors will run
the lines Immediately"

THE carelessness of Legislators in fra M
ing important bills has come to be pro-
verb. This carelessness does not merely
confine itself to the language of the body
of the bill, but reaches to the ordinary
formulas that are repeated in all meas
ures. We have known important bills to
pass several readings before it was
found that the enaeting clause had been
omitted. 1t is now said that several very
important measures passed by the last
Legislature, appropriating money, are
defective in having omitted the fund out
of which the money is to be drawn.
This defect exists in the act ap-
propriating $350,00O for establishing
an Insane Asylum in this part of
the State. Instead of saying, as it
should, that "three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars is hereby appropriated
out of the general fund from any moneys
not otherwise appropriated" which has
come to be the regular form for appro-
priation bills, it merely makes the
appropriation in general terms. The
Controller has heretofore refused
to draw warrants on the authority of
laws which did not use the formula recited
above. For his own protection he will
probably refuse to draw warrants
under the bill cited unless COM
PEELED to do 30 by mGndamus from
the Courts. We have no doubt the
Courts would hold that the act as it
stands is sufficiently clear to authorize
the appropriation. As the General fund
is the only one from which such an ap-
preparation could be drawn, it would
naturally be the order of the

Next week Little Lord Fauntleroy will
be- presented at the Gl'snd Opera House.
This play was taken from = story written
for boys and girls by Mrs. Fraaces
Hodgson Burnett, which, at tho time It
was published, was very widely read. 1t
is said that the play is most interesting,
and that the company of little folks pre-
senting it are fully capable of chaining
the interest of the large audiences which
have greeted them everywhere.

AMUSEMENTS.
The Grand.

The Little Tycoon drew another full
house last night, and it is settled beyond
peradventure that the exchequer of the
Grand will profit amazingly by the piece.
Any one who enjoys an evening of roll
licking fun, supplemented by lively mu-
sic, of an order up TO the requirements of
the comic opera, ought to be on hand
nightly. There is no palling on the ap-
petite in this vivacious production, and
it is sovereign cure for duLl care. It
runs through the week.

Interstate Commerce Act Discussed.

CHICAGO, April 9.-rhe first meeting of
the Interstate Commerce Railway Asso-
citation since A. F, Walker was chosen
its chairman, was held to-day, and nearly
all the reads in the Association we're rep
resented. The question of fast trains
between Chicago and Kansas City was
considered at length. The matter was
finally referred to committee of the
managers. A general discussion on the
Interstate Commerce Act followed, it
being unanimously decided to enforce it's
provisions, and learn by experience
whether or not it is practicable. The
next meeting will be held the second
Tuesday in July.

New YoRK, April 9.-At the trunk

passed recommending an increase of
east-bound livestock rates from 221@ to
26 cents, and reducing the car rates. A
resolution was also offered recommend
ing an increase of rates for carrying
dressed beef, but no action was taken,
and none will be taken until the West

The increase Of tho personnel of regular cruising war

merchant vessels to be used destroyers;
to regular harbor-defsnce floating batteries; to

AS large proportion Of the personnel OF o modern

we have at available Tor these the nremen and

shops Of the seaport towns Indeed there Is much
material which may be obtained from the interior thas
would md annual practice service anoat attractive.
These would, In time OF BIO capable Of doing good
work 1t il evident that we should encourage
the construction and maintenance Of swift steam yachts
and merchant vessels suited carrying medumcalibrs
hghpower guns and rapid aFng guns; 70 this end pay
men Of annutes should be made based their capacity,
speed and military efficiency the rating 70 be made By
annual inspection Of naval boards
This State might properly maintain number Of small
vessels furnished by the General Government both for
instruction and for practical in Of serious out
breaks in New-York City, particularly when the ee-
waited roads and lines rendered useless for
the rapid transportation of troops Ths Naval Reserve
forces would be especially valuable In such 10
